Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

"Mr. Gouch, my friend, we may have to stay here for a while."

Looking out from the co-pilot, a man wrapped in iron armor politely apologized to Gao Qi.

Cannotgoodenough, Cannotgoodenough, a name that can no longer be faked, is a trader who is active on the border of Colombia and mainly operates in the Garpas wasteland.

Businessmen need courage and wisdom to speculate between countries, and more importantly, they need a good network of contacts.

This businessman, Cannaut, was introduced to Gao Qi by Kelsey, and asked him and Skadi to follow each other's caravan to their destination, Kavaleliaki.

"What's the matter, Mr. Cannaught? I have no requirements for the speed of the journey, everything is at your own pace - after all, we are just hitchhikers, aren't we?"

Holding Skadi's arm, Gao Qi showed a decent smile at the man who looked like the NPC who ran out of Loslitt next door, with a metal helmet on his head and his body wrapped in a large cloak.

Although this old man is a passer-by-level supporting role, when Gao Qi was a former doctor and played rougelike, he often encountered this guy, and he was naturally very familiar with him.

People who can travel between the borders of the two countries, how can there be a truly pure and legitimate businessman, this Mr. Can't naturally has something to rely on.

However, Gao Qi doesn't care or worry, even if there is another reinforcement company, Gao Qi doesn't care.

"Anyway, Ms. Kelsey's guest is naturally my guest--a few years ago, I was still a young man who wanted to become a big businessman, but if I hadn't happened to pick up Ms. Kelsey, I might have Become a dead bone in a den of thieves."

Cannaught bent down and bowed slightly towards Gao Qi, respecting him.

"What's more, Rhine Life is not a local snake like John's mother who can only make a fortune in Tikalundo. His influence is obvious to all. As the two field commissioners of Rhine Life, I will naturally respect it."

Gao Qi's current identity is the field commissioner of Rhine Life, and the legal identity granted to him by the chief jurisdiction will give him a lot of convenience.

Cannaught's respect comes from the heart, and not just because of the two points above.

In the beginning, Cannaught was just a man and a woman, who took advantage of the opportunity to travel for Rhine's life and wanted to travel at public expense for personal gain, and who had no idea of ​​the dangers of the wilderness.

After all, apart from Mr. Gao Qi being taller, this Miss Scatty is too weak and beautiful, so beautiful that normal robbers see them, unless they are good men, they will definitely want to rob them.

Dare to go out with such a beautiful and weak woman, 80% of them are stunned.

If it wasn't for Ms. Kelsey's entrustment, plus the identity of Rhine's life, Cannaught wouldn't care about them at all.

However, just two days ago, when this small caravan with only ten people and four or five vehicles on the bright side was attacked by a band of rogues.

The other party is a mercenary from Casimir. Compared with robbing goods, Cannaught knows that some of Casimir's competitors must be dissatisfied with his smooth business and want to come over to add to himself.

But before Cannaught called the guards who were secretly following in the distance to force them back, he saw two guests rushing out.

Mr. Gao Qi shuttled back and forth in the arrow rain composed of crossbow arrows, without weapons, he directly restrained the Sarkaz mercenary's neck with both hands, and smashed him to the ground with brute force.

And Miss Scarty was even more outrageous. She ran faster than the car, and with just a tap, a jeep was easily overturned to the ground.

A mercenary group with nearly 20 members was easily destroyed in less than two minutes by these two uncles - this is the strength that only top mercenaries can show.

Now, he has shown 200% respect for these two giant Buddhas. In front of Mr. Gaoch and Miss Scarty, his little hidden skills are really nothing.

"The natural disaster messenger with the team predicts that in our northwest direction, near the plain below this plateau, a small natural disaster cloud is forming, half of which may be dissipated during the formation process, and the other half may be formed. Level 4 natural disaster thunderstorm."

Cannaught reported to Gao Qi earnestly, as if he were the leader of the caravan.

Like Originium pollution levels, natural disasters are also divided into five levels.

Level 5 natural disasters are often in the form of heavy fog and heavy rain. As long as the Originium dust mixed in them is well protected, it will not cause harm to the human body.

But after reaching level 4, natural disaster clouds will affect people from a physical level. In the wilderness, thunderstorms are the most common form of natural disasters.

The sandstorm weather mixed with thunderstorms will use lightning spells similar to the aliens, as well as sandstorms mixed with a large number of Originium particles, destroying everyone who dares to enter.

If it is a land-based ship, it may dare to break into the scope of the fourth-level natural disaster, but it will also suffer a certain loss. The caravan where Gao Qi is a caravan does not need to think about it, it will definitely die if it touches it.

And looking out of the window, the sky in the wilderness is still clear, and there is no sign.

This is also the role of the natural disaster messenger. Terra's natural disaster is not windy or rainy. It is impossible to know by looking at the sky. There is a whole set of natural disaster early warning equipment in Kelsey's truck. Even she is very vigilant against natural disasters.

"Then stop, I can also enjoy a rare natural disaster from a distance - but once the natural disaster is generated, it will never end, we should be able to detour to save time, and the price of food and drinking water is more expensive than the origin of fossil fuels. Some."

Although the theme of Terra's world is natural disasters, Gao Qi has come to Terra for so long, and although he has encountered many "superior people comparable to natural disasters", the real natural disasters have never been seen.

Gao Qi won't praise disasters, but if it's a harmless natural disaster outside the wilderness, Gao Qi doesn't mind accompany Skadi to take a look.

"Ha, this is another reason, Mr. Gaoch... I wonder if you have heard that there is an organization called Rust Hammer at the junction of Colombia, Casimir and Victoria?"

Cannaught took two steps forward and handed a small monocular to Gao Qi.

"Ah, I know, an anarchic organization whose home is in the wilderness, from Ursus to Sargon, their organizations are all over the wilderness."

Gao Qi nodded. Having read various story collections, he naturally knew what kind of group the so-called Rusty Hammers were.

Although this group of people is not a pure wasteland, it is not a united organization. They spurn civilization, they have no unified leadership, and there is almost no contact between small groups in various places.

The Rust Hammers are at most many separatist small forces using the same name.

"That, Mr. Cannaught, you know better than I do, don't you?"

In front of him, Cannaot, who also makes a living in the wilderness, is naturally inextricably linked with the Rusthammer Organization.

"Haha, Mr. Gao Qi, you are really joking. Come on, Miss Skadi, eat some pickled squid whiskers. It's a rare commodity. I heard that you Agor people like to eat this."

Hearing Gao Qi's words, Cannaot's canned head shook slightly, and then he lifted his cloak, tore off one of the countless twisted tentacles with two fingers, and handed it to Scotty and Gaoch.

"Near the natural disaster cloud in front of us, there is a group of armed gangs approaching the natural disaster cloud group - no one would dare to do this except for the eccentric group of natural disaster followers."

"Not all Agor people are willing to eat this... No, forget it."

Skadi just wanted to say that when she stayed in the sea every day, the giant squid's tentacles with thick arms were about to vomit, but she quickly remembered the warnings of Gao Qi and Kelsey, and accepted this gift - land On the Agor, most of them have never eaten seafood since childhood.

"Gao Qi, you eat."

After smelling the untreated fishy smell, Skadi decisively handed the squid whisker in his hand to Gao Qi.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Gao Qi was shoved into his mouth by Skadi with the pickled tentacles, and while chewing, he raised his telescope and looked at the wilderness not far away, which seemed to gradually raise the wind and sand.

"Followers of natural disasters respect all natural disasters as gods, and believe that dying in natural disasters is the grace of gods to make human beings soar, and when natural disasters occur, they will loot and slaughter all around - now they seem to be chasing someone, even if they detour, We will definitely meet, so we dare not move."

Cannaot sighed. It's not that there are no good people among Rusthammers, but this group of followers of the natural disaster is a lunatic who is afraid of everyone.

But then, he suddenly saw that Gao Qi's body tensed instantly, and he picked up the cane that was put aside.

"Okay, Mr. Cannaught, it's not far from our destination, and it's time for us to part ways—Scarty, let's go join in the fun."

From the telescope, Gao Qi saw that under the cliff, a group of armed men with torn clothes and Originium seemed to be chasing two fast-moving people on motorcycles.

They are two Sarkaz people, one is wearing a black robe and the other is wearing a white dress, and the appearance of the two... Gao Qi seems to be a little familiar.

"Well, good! Are you going to fight?"

Skadi was also excited. After staying here for a few days, she was finally able to fight again.

"Mr. Gao Qi, you really want - there is a natural disaster!"

At this moment, Cannaot's voice also trembled, and what Ms. Kelsey entrusted to him seemed to be two beings that were even crazier than the followers of the natural disaster.

"Yeah, there's a natural disaster there, don't worry, Mr. Cannaught, we've seen a more terrifying scene than this - let the brothers lurking around come out, it's tiring."

Patting Cannaught on the shoulder, Gao Qi and Scati walked past Cannaught and got out of the car.

boom--

The next second, along with a burst of roars, the figures of Gao Qi and Skadi disappeared in place, rushing straight towards the bottom of the cliff.

"Ha... We'll wait until the natural disaster disappears before leaving, and call the demon gang -- we'll set up camp."

Cannaot knew that perhaps at the beginning, his identity had not escaped the eyes of this man, and the fighting power of these two immortals had never taken him seriously.

"It's better for them to teach those lunatics a lesson, huh, I don't want to treat them as Rusthammers."

Cannaot would never have thought that the next time he sees Gao Qi and Skadi...it will be on Casimir's official news.

And -- it's heavyweight news.

9. The first encounter with black and white demons.

The formation of natural disasters is often difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

There is no warning of natural disasters, or it is no different from ordinary weather changes. In the face of natural disasters, visual identification and empirical analysis are often not so accurate.

Therefore, in ancient times, when mobile cities were not established, those settlements that relied on pack animals, cattle and horses to move to avoid natural disasters were often annihilated in the long river of history because of an error in the old shaman's prediction.

With the further study of modern natural disasters, human beings have discovered more and more ways to calculate and measure the outbreak of natural disasters.

Determination of Originium dust concentration in the atmosphere, Originium energy radiation count, Originium spell configuration, and local Originium ore vein divisions... After all elements are accurately measured, humans are qualified to infer the location, time and location of natural disasters. intensity.

This is the function of natural disaster messengers. After receiving the most professional training, they have become the most indispensable navigators on the Terra continent.

However, to this day, there are still many people who still rely on experience and perception to predict the arrival of natural disasters.

The most typical example is the old witch doctor who taught Temimi and Gavill the Originium Skills. There are not many natural disasters in the Akahura Rainforest, but thunderstorms and forest fires occasionally occur in the surrounding area.

Before this, the old witch doctor would send warnings from tribe to tribe, and let these guys who are full of fights run for their lives quickly, and no one would be stupid enough to go against God.

The family has an old man and a treasure. In this primitive tribe where there is no natural disaster messenger, the experience of an older person is quite important - this is why Gao Qi respects Kelsey so much.

However, in another race, people with rich experience and long survival time... are actually not uncommon.

The Sarkaz, a race born blessed and cursed, has a long life span that is unmatched by other races.

The fact is that there is no definite record to show that the Sarkaz will age and die because of the years. At the end of their lives, there are usually only two endings: sickness and war.

The older Sarkaz is powerful and wise, and some people even think that they can release Originium skills without language, and the Originium energy is an extension of their hands. They only need to look directly to judge the formation of natural disasters. conditions of.

This is also one of the reasons for the derogatory name "Demon Clan". They are too incompatible with other races.

But at least, some of the legends are not wrong - the Sarkaz people, but someone can only observe the natural disaster with the naked eye.

"Hold tight, fasten your seat belt, Liz, the thunderstorm is coming, we need to release the spell in advance."

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The engine is roaring, the exhaust pipe is roaring, a three-wheeled Originium motorcycle covered with dust is moving rapidly in the increasingly fierce gust of wind, the rubber tires rubbing against the gravel ground, pressing out deep impressions. .

The black robe and white skirt danced in the storm, and the speed of the tricycle reached nearly 100 kilometers per hour.

Unlike the noisy surrounding environment, in the driver's seat, Shining was turning his head, shaking the long white horns above his head, and softly instructing the blond Sarkaz girl behind him with a calm expression.

Around, the originally clear sky suddenly turned khaki, and countless small light yellow particles appeared out of thin air in the air around the two Sarkaz women.

This is not the sand and dust raised by the strong wind, but the Originium crystal formed in an instant under the natural disaster climate.

Just by inhaling these Originium crystals, it is possible for people to contract ore disease.

On the ground composed of sand grains, many black Originium crystals also began to spread out of nothing, just like salt precipitation crystals, rapidly multiplying on the ground.

This is a precursor to natural disasters, and when the density of Originium crystals reaches a certain level, the collision of Originium energies with each other will stimulate the most primitive, naturally generated Originium Art.

Storms, lightning, sand and gravel, these Originium skills that are common in human hands, will be enhanced hundreds of times by the force of nature.

However, for the two Sarkaz, this level of "natural disaster" is still in a barely acceptable category.

"I know, the spell has been constructed—"

Liz's expression was still indifferent. Her petite body was curled up in the side passenger seat of the tricycle. On the staff in her hand, the small lantern swaying around was emitting a faint blue light.

Liz's expression showed no fear at all, but there was a hint of sadness and sadness. I don't know if it was because of natural disasters or because of her own troubles.

Soon, a small, translucent protective cover enveloped the two of them.

Crack - crackle.

All around, the Originium crystals that appeared out of thin air hit the translucent shield, making a small popping sound, and lost activity after sparking.

You must know that the explosion of each Originium crystal has almost the power of an ordinary Originium bullet.

However, even though such seemingly indestructible shields were unable to resist the incoming sand grains, Liz and Shining couldn't help but narrowed their eyes and took off the windproof goggles hanging on their long horns.

In fact, Liz and Shining didn't know each other for a long time, but they were used to each other's company. Liz also knew that this much older Sakaz really likes to drive a motorcycle. a feeling of.

"Shining, what about the people who are chasing us in the back, the thunderstorms don't seem to be able to stop them, and there are still people who are not afraid of natural disasters... It's really strange, or is it not unusual, but I forgot?"

Looking back, Liz saw that several dilapidated pickup trucks were biting hard behind the two of them. No matter how fast Shining accelerated, it was difficult to get rid of them.

"The sandstorm is protecting us. This is the will of the **** of natural disasters! Catch these demons! Their actions have desecrated the natural disaster, and the starry sky has blocked the arrival of the disaster. We will let the real natural disaster come to the world!"

Soon, a horned man with armor made of bones and animal skins stood up from the top of the pickup, and while speaking loudly, he raised the crossbow arrow in his hand and shot at the two fleeing prey. go out.

Unbelievable, this man is actually a Sarkaz too?

"Don't pay attention, they are not our targets - these people have fallen into madness, they revere natural disasters as gods, and the most terrifying thing is that the objects of their beliefs may really exist."

Shining pinned on the pitch-black cross staff around his waist, a pale golden streamer flashed away, Shining activated his Originium Skill, and then, a white shield with a faint golden light, superimposed on the on top of Liz's shield.
