Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 811: Uninvited Guest

Looking at their grinning faces, Alan extended his hand and slapped them heavily. The slap caused the two of them to cry out in pain, but a strange Origin Energy rushed through their bodies like a tide. Belmore and Hubble opened their mouths and spat out a small mouthful of blood mist at the same time. The blood mist was very small, but the color of the blood was almost black. After spitting out this mouthful of blood mist, both of them felt much smoother.

"Take a rest, I'll take a look around." Allen's slap shook their internal organs with Origin Energy, forcing out some of the blood that had accumulated in their bodies, helping them recover from their injuries. Now, the medicinal properties of the potion began to melt, flowing through their blood to their entire bodies. The effect of the initial stage of the drug was the best. At this time, they needed to consciously guide their Origin Energy to activate the drug to achieve the goal of rapid recovery.

Both of them sat quietly and rested, while Alan raised his saber and walked towards the direction where Karin took it off. He didn't want to chase after them, he just needed to set up a defensive line. The canyon was definitely not a safe place, and the planet of the Garden of Eden might not be as beautiful as its name suggested. In other words, behind that beauty, there would always be something fatal.

No matter what kind of planet, there would be dangerous creatures. The more evolved the planet, the more dangerous it would be. Superplanets like the Garden of Eden are no less dangerous than Earth. Although there weren't many dangerous species that could threaten Allen, it was only the Earth Mother, the overlord within the planet, the super dangerous species among the super dangerous species, that would pose a fatal threat to Allen.

As for this canyon, Alan could vaguely sense a few wild and powerful auras. However, these auras were all extremely far away. They probably wouldn't suddenly attack this place, but it was still necessary to guard against those giant wooden insects or other creatures in the valley. He wasn't afraid, but Belmond and Leylin were in recuperation, so it was better not to let them be disturbed at this time.

The process of setting up the defensive line was very simple. Allen took the location of the two of them as the starting point, took a hundred and a half meters away, and casually waved his blood onto the ground, leaving behind a knife mark. Then, he walked along this distance, and another saber appeared four to five meters apart. Just like that, he circled around the origin and drew a semi-circular warning line. The saber marks left on the ground all retained his aura. Dangerous creatures could keenly sense these auras and make comparisons and judgments.

Smart guys would stay away because Alan's remaining aura carried killing intent that they didn't dare to collide with. Of course, there would be some stupid ones, such as a vicious dog with thorns all over its body. As Alan drew the final cut of the cordon, it jumped off a rock in front of it and unleashed all the stings on its body in Alan's direction in a demonstrative manner. It was a dog-like creature, and unlike the canine creatures on Earth, its body was covered in porcupine-like spikes.

These thorns could be used to defend against attacks, and could be launched whenever needed, becoming the natural weapon of this kind of thorn dog. Stinger dogs are not powerful dangerous breeds. Their only problem is their numbers. The habit of living together was a bit like a wolf, but the stinger dog troop had never been large. From the records of the Federation, it could be seen that these creatures would only stay together for three to five at most.

The thorns on their bodies not only defended against natural enemies, but also prevented their fellow countrymen from approaching.

The stinger dog's intelligence is not high, but it is very wild. Like this piercing dog, its small triangular eyes were filled with ferocious light. From its snout, it spat out streaks of hot smoke. Its hind legs saw the ground, its front slightly bent down, and it prepared to charge forward. Then it rushed over. When it rushed over, Alan felt like he saw a sea urchin exploding. He shook his head, wondering if the stinger dog meat was delicious or not. Then, blood drifted up like a feather and fell down.

Stinger dogs are excellent at short bursts of speed. The unique muscular and skeletal structure of these creatures allows them to reach extreme speeds in a few steps without running up. Their maximum speed could reach around 80 kilometers per hour. This kind of instant acceleration allowed them to escape many dangers and hunt many prey. However, against Alan today, this speed advantage was gone.

The vicious dog, who was still charging forward, suddenly felt as if it was being pressed down by an invisible mountain. Its body suddenly sank, and then it pounced onto the ground. Then, there was a sound of bones shattering, and after a while, it was unable to get up. The hard thorns on his body were still wide open, but blood kept flowing from inside.

Alan had just finished off the evil dog when two or three similar stingers walked out from the shadows of the mountain. Not only did the deaths of their compatriots not warn them, but they also aroused the fierceness of these creatures. A wild roar came from the canyon, followed by a few dull sounds. The roar quickly turned into a groan. The change in their voices showed the smart guys that they were being hunted down instead of hunted. As a result, those who originally wanted to attempt to break through the perimeter now all retreated to the most hidden place.

Hubble suddenly opened his eyes when he was still in a daze. It was already dark. Not far away, there was a ball of bright flames. Countless sparks flew into the sky, as if stars were hanging upside down. However, the Catus had no appreciation for beautiful things, and what attracted him even more was not those dreamlike sparks, but a seductive fragrance that made the Catus' stomachs rumble. All the organs in his body reminded Hubble that it was time for him to eat.

Belmond also woke up and smelled the fragrance of the meat. But he was much more restrained than Hubble, at least he didn't drool at the edge of his mouth. He stood up and walked to the campfire. The bonfire was littered with spikes, hundreds of them long and short. Not far away, there were several skeletons. From the structure of the skeletons and the pile of hard thorns on the ground, Belmond could easily draw a picture of the stinger dog in his mind.

There were a total of four skeletons, and the meat stripped from their bodies was roasted by Alan on a red stone. Allen used large and small pieces of rubble to build the fortress. In the middle were piles of dead wood. The dead wood was ignited by the flames, and the flames and heat waves were gathered in the fortress. The surface temperature of the stone barricade was very high and it was heated evenly. The dog meat was spread out and the fat was roasted until it was greasy.

Alan flipped the slices of meat from time to time to keep them from scorching. Seeing the two of them wake up, he smiled and said, "You really know how to pick a time to taste the game that you brought over."

"I wonder if these things can be eaten." He added.

The shadow was like a mountain. Hubble had already walked to the fire and reached out to grab a few pieces of barbecue meat from the stone barricade. After blowing hard, he threw it into his mouth and chewed, immediately squeezing oil out of his teeth. He said, "I can eat anything. I even ate tree roots when I was chased by Vasak's Nine Fangs. Even if it's poisonous, it won't kill me. Oh, they smell good."

Belmond lifted it up, but it wasn't as anxious as Hubble. Ye Feng coldly moved the temperature of the barbecue meat before putting it into his mouth to chew. Stinger dogs don't have much fat, but their meat fibers are very thin, and even lean meat tastes very elastic. After roasting, his stomach was also delicious. Alan saw that the two of them were eating, so he was not polite. He picked up a piece and tasted it. He only felt that it tasted good.

While eating, he said, "It reminds me of the days when there was no bread on the surface. Every day when the sun rises, I have to hunt. If I can't find anything, I have to go hungry."

"I heard that memories are proof of old age. Young Master, you don't look old." Belmond began to destroy the second piece of barbecue.

Ellen shook his head. "Memories are just for me to remember what kind of path I'm following, and how I'm going to go down this path."

Hubble grabbed a few pieces of roasted meat that was still dripping with oil and tossed them into his mouth, "What's going on? How is it so complicated? To me, my destination must be that bastard Vasark. Only by killing him will the destination become a new starting point."

Alan and Belmond looked at each other and the latter sighed, "It's rare for our big man to say such a philosophical thing, hey. It's a pity there's no wine here, or we'll have to drink to it."

Hearing the wine, Hubble's eyes lit up. "We'll go back tomorrow, and then I'll soak in the barrel for three days!"

"I'm afraid we don't have such a big bucket," said Alan, holding his forehead.

Then, the three of them laughed.

The laughter stopped in a hurry, and Hubble stuffed more into his mouth. Of the four stingers, the big guy had eaten almost one and a half, but his appetite was still bottomless. Alan and Belmond seemed to feel something. Belmond wanted to stand up, but he held it down for Alan. Then he looked in the direction of the shadows and said, "Since you're here, don't hide anymore. I can hear your stomach drumming."

Only then did Hubble know that an uninvited guest had arrived, but the other party did not elicit any reaction from him. He was probably not a powerful character, so Hubble continued his feast. The minds of the Catus were often so simple.

A small sound came from the shadows, like a gentle sound of wind blowing pebbles rolling across the ground. Then, two figures gradually appeared in the flames. One was wild and sexy, the other was petite and agile.

Ellen was slightly surprised and said, "Is that you?"

The two people who walked out of the shadows were women. In front of them was Laura, who was dragging a huge sword, and the one behind her was Talikova. A smile appeared on Laura's face, while Talikova's cheeks bulged as if she was in a fit of anger.

"You have good ears. You can hear Talikova's belly drumming so far away." Laura said with a smile.

"Is it wrong for me to be hungry?" The girl behind him shouted, revealing her two sharp teeth.

Alan smiled and said, "We still have some food here. Do you want some?"

Talikova swallowed her saliva and tried her best to stop herself from pouncing on the barbecue meat. However, she pulled out a pair of short blades from the outside of her legs and said, "Shut up, human. Don't try to seduce me with delicious food. I... I'm here to seek revenge on you!"
