Chapter 368 C'Thun and Hast
"Lord Enoch, thank you for your help. If not..."
The war is over.
Kartai and Holden stood in front of the giant whale, with mixed emotions of sadness and joy on their faces.
The giant whale said nothing, floating above the fjord.
Several Dreadclaws were lying next to the giant whale like hounds, combing their skin and wounds with their tongues.
"It doesn't matter, I just did what I should do." Su Heng came to his senses and said, "It's not easy for you. Why didn't you tell me about such a dangerous thing earlier?"
The giant whale has been mentioned to the troglodytes before.
If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, you can ask him for help.
Obviously, these troglodytes did not take the giant whale's words to heart. Of course, it may also be because they feel that the giant whale is not strong enough to solve the current predicament.
Unexpectedly, I was looked down upon.
Su Heng snorted in his heart.
Wei Wei feels a little unhappy.
"My lord!" At this time.
Kartai, who had not spoken a word, struggled several times, but finally made up his mind.
He took a step forward and half-knelt on the ground with a sincere expression.
"I want to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness and punishment." The troglodyte warrior shouted.
Su Heng was stunned for a moment.
He looked over and over at the bald man in front of him, thinking that he had never been in contact with him before.
"I once criticized you secretly, and even thought that Chief Horton had done something stupid. But it turned out that I was short-sighted and almost ruined the future of the tribe."
A look of shame appeared on Kartai's face, "I made a mistake that even I can't tolerate!"
"this…"
Su Heng was stunned for a moment.
Of course, if Kartai didn't mention these things, he wouldn't know about them.
Even if you put yourself into the role played by Kartai, with limited resources, you have to give a large number of precious items to an unknown existence.
It is normal to have opinions in this situation.
Moreover, Kartai only mentioned a few words to the big leader in private.
It has not spread among the tribes and shaken the morale of the army.
In Su Heng's view, a few words of complaint were not considered mistakes at all. But this guy just put this matter in front of the giant whale.
Are you so straightforward?
First there was surprise.
But then, Su Heng began to appreciate this guy.
"I'm not too worried about these trivial matters, and you don't have to take this matter to heart." Su Heng's tone softened and he comforted softly.
"I…"
Kartai seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by Holden.
Su Heng also changed the subject and asked the old patriarch, "Where did you get those things you call God-given stones?"
The stone given by the gods is the flesh and blood of the serpent.
However, the stones offered to him by the troglodyte tribe were of low quality.
It has limited effect on the giant whale. If possible, the giant whale plans to take action himself to see if he can collect more higher-quality God-given stones.
"this…"
Holden hesitated for a moment, but still answered with a smile:
"God-given stones can be obtained from the Flesh Abyss or the Divine Grace Mountains. Both are extremely rare resources in the abyss."
"The Abyss of Flesh, the Divine Grace Mountains...is there any difference between them?"
"The Abyss of Flesh has been polluted by demons, and the environment inside is more dangerous, but it is relatively easier to collect high-quality God-given stones. The latter is relatively safer, but due to years of mining, it has been difficult to harvest anything."
"I see..." Su Heng nodded.
"If you need it, we can lead you. There is an abyss of flesh and blood near the fjord." Holden said quickly.
"Then I'll trouble you."
The abyss is pitch black and vast.
Even with a map, it's not easy to find the direction here.
It is naturally best if someone leads the way. Not only can it save a lot of time, but you can also learn more about the surrounding environment.
"Then, let's leave this matter to Kartai."
The old man said, "Kartai is the most powerful warrior among our tribe."
This old guy can do it...Su Heng took a look at Holden and understood that he wanted to gain favor with him. However, it was convenient for him anyway, so Su Heng didn't mind these little thoughts.
"Okay, then it's all your fault."
"This is my honor!" Kartai said loudly, his face full of uncontrollable joy.
…
Spent two days at Troglodyte Fjord.
Su Heng helped the troglodytes clean up the battlefield. After devouring a large number of Zerg corpses, the number of the Terrorclaw Legion was expanded to eighteen.
By this time.
Su Heng discovered that no matter what, the number of the Terrorclaw Legion could no longer increase.
Under the influence of [Group] talent.
The Terrorclaw can be regarded as a clone of the giant whale. The advantage is that the overall strength of the Terrorclaw is strengthened. If necessary, it can also be fused with the giant whale to obtain bonuses.
The disadvantage is that the giant whale cannot explode nearly infinitely like the insect swarm.
The number of clones is limited by the spiritual power of the original.
certainly…
Even among the insects.
The number of high-level soldiers is also very limited, and the insect swarm kings at the fourth life level are also subject to some special restrictions.
Otherwise, if the swarm could continue to multiply and expand endlessly.
Tutans would not have been driven out of the Santorinia Islands by the orcs miserably.
On the battlefield, the giant whale obtained the genetic blueprints of the dark predator, deep-sea cockroach, and explosive worm. Unfortunately, the strength of these low-level races is limited, and the number of clones is limited by spiritual power.
The giant whale did not make a large number of new mother nests.
After some consideration.
The giant whale made a simple insect nest with the appearance of hundreds of explosive bomb worms.
As long as there is enough biomass input, this insect nest can continuously produce genetically modified explosive bomb worms.
The new generation of explosive bomb worms is about the size of spiders and puppies. They are not strong in combat power, but they are fast and agile. They are mainly used as "eyes" to patrol around and check for dangerous situations in time.
When necessary.
Seven or eight explosive bomb worms cluster together and explode at the same time to release the biological toxins in their bodies.
It can also cause a considerable killing effect.
Because the explosive bomb worms have a simple structure and small size. The demand for the giant whale's mental power is not high. In other words, the mental power required to control a claw monster is enough to differentiate hundreds of explosive bombs.
Su Heng created more than a hundred of them, scattered around the insect nest and the Battle Lizard Canyon.
Similarly, he left half of the eighteen claw monsters in the tribe to prevent accidents.
The genetic blueprints in the two mother nests took Su Heng and the giant whale a long time to debug. If there is any accident, it will be a headache.
After dealing with the miscellaneous things, the giant whale and Kaltai set off together, aiming at the blood and flesh abyss.
...
Horton said that the blood and flesh abyss is not far from the gathering place.
But it took almost a day and a half to reach the destination.
This is still the case when the claw monster clears the threat in advance. Otherwise, considering various unexpected situations, the time spent on the road will only be longer.
Suspended on a dead submarine volcano.
The giant whale looked into the distance.
The blood and flesh abyss appeared at the level of the basin, and its appearance resembled an exposed esophagus.
It was like a living thing, with countless sticky flesh and blood slowly wriggling, emitting a dark red filthy light, which was very conspicuous in the dark abyss.
"This is the Flesh and Blood Abyss, which is much larger than I imagined."
The giant whale looked at the wonder in front of him with interest.
He said.
The entrance of this Flesh and Blood Abyss is more than a kilometer in diameter, and a giant whale with a body length of 300 meters can easily enter it even if it is horizontal.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the structure inside the abyss is like a funnel, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
The giant whale must have a rough three-dimensional impression of the surrounding environment to avoid being stuck in it or being stolen by some strange things.
"This is still a small Flesh and Blood Abyss."
Kaltai said excitedly, "It is said that the Flesh and Blood Abyss leading to the abyss is as vast and boundless as a plain."
"Oh, isn't there only one place for the Flesh and Blood Abyss and the Godly Grace Mountains?" Su Heng said in surprise.
"Of course not."
Kaertai swallowed his saliva and explained, "That is the most precious treasure in the abyss. There are hundreds of large and small flesh and blood abysses, and there are almost the same number of Shen'en Mountains. However, most of these resources are controlled by powerful deep-sea overlords and insect swarm leaders."
"What powerful deep-sea overlords are there in the middle layer of the abyss?" Su Heng asked again.
"C'Thun and Hast are the two oldest overlords in the deep sea. Legend has it that their lives are as old as the abyss."
Cartai introduced them like an encyclopedia, "But later, another overlord named Cthugha came. Legend has it that it swallowed a large amount of God-given stones at the bottom of the abyss, and thus gained unimaginable power. Its true strength is said to be even greater than that of the two adults C'Thun and Hast."
"In addition to these three deep-sea overlords, there is also a swarm leader named Krendo in the abyss who is also quite powerful."
Cartai said, "Legend has it that it almost became a restricted area-level swarm king, but unfortunately it was severely damaged by the Athas Legion and then imprisoned in this prison."
"The Athas Legion has a brilliant record."
Su Heng couldn't help but sigh.
It's hard to imagine what it would be like when those steel warriors fought against the monsters like natural disasters. No wonder Athas is called the last line of defense of human civilization.
After a conversation, Su Heng had a better understanding of the abyss.
The giant whale's strength is enough to walk sideways in the shallow area of the abyss.
However, according to Kaltai, monsters are rampant in the middle area. Although the giant whale's strength is still not weak here, it is not dominant.
It needs to work harder.
Swimming forward, it came to the vicinity of the Flesh and Blood Abyss.
The giant whale did not step into it rashly, but let its claw monster clone go in first to take a look.
"The area of the Flesh and Blood Abyss is very large. The War Lizard Tribe has explored here for decades, but still has not been able to grasp the full picture of it." Kaltai looked at the abyss that was constantly wriggling and said.
When he came closer.
Su Heng realized that the abyss was not actually flesh and blood.
It is a kind of colorful stone similar to coral, which is constantly wriggling with the water flow. Standing in the distance, it looks like a giant has opened his bloody mouth and wants to swallow the invader in one bite.
"Well, there is no danger for the time being."
The giant whale thought for a while, "Let's go in too."
"Okay!"
Cartai took the lead and jumped into the abyss. The giant whale shook his body and followed slowly behind Cartai.
The structure of the Flesh and Blood Abyss is a funnel.
However, this funnel is not wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, but narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
Diving all the way to the end, a huge cavity appeared in front of him. The area of the cavity is very large, even a body like the giant whale can easily swim in it.
Looking around.
The wall of the cavity is dark red, and countless thick stone pillars hang from the dome.
The ground was covered with scarlet algae-like plants. In special environments, the leaves of those plants became tougher than steel wires and extremely aggressive. If they were entangled, even the modified Horror Claws would be torn into pieces.
"I've found something!"
It was obviously not the first time that Kaltai came here.
He moved forward and found a hidden mine near the wall. There were a few dull gray stones in it. The stones were the God-given stones familiar to the giant whale.
Kaltai carried tools with him and started digging.
But at this moment.
Hiss!
A sharp and piercing hiss.
The sickle-like barb fell from above his head.
Kaltai reacted quickly, turned around, and kicked the wall hard, using the reaction force to avoid the attack just now.
"It's the alienated spider demon!"
The lizard warrior looked up and saw the person coming clearly, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Above his head, a scarlet truck-sized spider was hiding in the stone pillar. Because the color was almost the same as the surrounding environment, Kaltai had not noticed that there was such a dangerous enemy hiding here.
"Well, this is a powerful character." Kaltai gritted his teeth, took out a dagger from his waist, and prepared to fight.
The spider demon itself is equivalent to the third level of life.
Surviving in the abyss of flesh and blood, it has mutated again after absorbing a large amount of God's Stone, and its strength is no less than that of some big demons.
Roar!
The reaction speed of the claw monster is faster than Kaltai.
The three claw monsters came from different directions, as fast as torpedoes shuttling in the deep sea.
The cone-shaped breath gushed out from the claw monster's mouth with a roar, turning into a huge cloud to wrap the prey inside.
A hissing sound that makes people's scalps numb came from the clouds.
The spider demon was torn to pieces, and its internal organs fell from the wound.
Dark red radiation emerged from the claw monsters, further suppressing the enemy's vitality, and then began to bite the fatal parts frantically.
It was a desperate fight of exchanging injuries for injuries. There was no skill to speak of, but the efficiency was quite amazing.
A few minutes later.
The spider demon was torn into pieces, and the claw monster was also seriously injured.
"It's still a little too fragile. I have to find a way to increase its defense." Su Heng raised his eyebrows. The claw monster will still expose some problems when facing a high-life level opponent, which is worth paying attention to.
Boom!
Just as Su Heng silently wrote down his thoughts.
The flesh and blood abyss began to rumble and vibrate, large pieces of rubble fell from the dome, and two huge scarlet palms emerged from the cracks.
The claw monster was more than 50 meters long, but it was actually held in the hand of the monster. The irresistible force of the mad dragon was applied to the claw monster, and the two poor claw monsters exploded like meat bags.
"It's the fallen troll!"
Kartai's face turned extremely terrified and he screamed loudly, "My lord, we have to leave here quickly."
