Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 979: Hilly Chase

The cave is dry.

Now that winter had just passed, the spring tide was full. There was no water vapor in the cave. Margaret held the cave wall and walked in. She felt that the touch was rough, but her palm was still warm. It was not as cold as the icy cold on the Evil Teeth Barrier in the early morning. Gurus, who was walking behind her, seemed to know what she was thinking. "The geology of the gray hills is full of fire sand. The sand is dry and not easy to get wet, so this kind of cave is the best place to store food," he said.

"You know a lot," Margaret said in a slightly hoarse voice.

She took off her cloak and revealed her exquisite curves. Seeing this, Gurus swallowed his saliva and even breathed heavily. This cave wasn't spacious, and it was only a few meters deep. Gurus walked to the end and lifted a stalagmite. It turned out that he had dug a square pit under the stalagmite, and the things he hid were carefully wrapped in tarpaulins. Gurus took it out, removed the tarpaulin, and took out bacon and water in clean bottles.

Margaret's lips were dry and cracked. Her eyes lit up when she saw the water. She pointed at the bottle and said, "Give it to me …"

Gurus threw the bottle to her, and the woman took it and poured it into her mouth without saying a word. She drank a few mouthfuls and poured the water into her collar. She was wearing only a thin robe and was immediately pressed against her body when she was drenched in water. However, there was nothing under the clothes. A pair of pepper and milk immediately clung to the thin clothes, and the two protrusions under the clothes were incomparably obvious. Gurus could not help but throw away the bacon in his hand and pounce on it, crushing Margaret to the ground.

Margaret drank her water as if she didn't know there was a man on her. Gurus rubbed her body and reached into her clothes with his big hand, gripping and pinching. Suddenly, he let out a roar and separated the woman's legs. Margaret immediately twisted her waist into a bow, her entire body trembling, which made Gurus even more excited.

The temperature in the cave continued to rise.

Margaret fell asleep after a storm. Gurus covered her with a cloak, ate a few slices of bacon, looked at Margaret's long legs, and then smiled as he left the cave.

Gurus stood on a high slope not far away and looked into the distance. From his direction, he could already see the edge of the Black Wood Forest. The black forest stretched out to the left and right, cutting off the gray hills. Once they entered the forest, the two of them would be much safer. It wasn't much easier to expose than the gray hills. Gurus estimated the time in his heart with the shadow on the ground and decided to let Margaret rest for another ten minutes before continuing on her journey.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes.

Just as he was about to descend from the high slope, an imperceptible horse hiss entered his ears in the wind. Gurus's heart trembled, and he immediately fell to the ground, carefully looking up. Dust billowed in the direction of the Evil Teeth Barrier, and then the ground began to shake. Gurus did not hesitate and jumped off the high ground. When he rushed into the cave, the sound of hooves rang out like thunder. He didn't even have time to wake Margaret up, so he directly carried the woman on his shoulder and ran to the side of the horse. He threw Margaret onto the horse's back, jumped on his own legs, and the black horse immediately flashed with lightning.

Gurus kept urging the horses to speed up. From the sky, the two of them rode first. Behind them, a large group of horses engulfed the gray hills like black clouds, biting down on the horses in front of them, launching a desperate chase.

Gurus turned around and saw that the two sides were too far apart to know the exact number of pursuers. However, judging from the dust and smoke, there were at least a hundred riders chasing after him. He came from Zhan Lang and knew the tactics of Zhan Lang the best. At the foot of Evil Teeth Barrier Mountain, there was a horse farm. The hundred or so warhorses trained in the horse farm were for the use of war wolves. Every time Zhan Lang's horses moved out, they would normally ride on two people, and they would bring along some horses that were unmanned and unladen.

This part of the warhorse was as useful as it was at this moment. After confirming that the person on the horse in front was Gurus and Margaret, warwolf knights kept howling and leaping towards the empty warhorses on their backs. These warhorses did not carry any weight, so they still maintained their excellent stamina. When the knights jumped onto their horses, they could urge the warhorses to speed up.

Immediately, at least thirty cavalry left the group and flew towards the two of them like an arrow.

Gulus looked back and knew that the two of them would catch up soon. After all, his dark horse's physical strength was close to its limit, and he really couldn't speed up any further. However, he still had no intention of stopping and continued to run towards the black forest line in the distance. That forest line would be the boundary between life and death!

The horse's hooves were like thunder.

After chasing for more than half an hour, the thirty cavalry had already closed in. Gurus could even see the face of the previous knight twisted with excitement and excitement. He could also see even more knights waving their nets. It was a tool used to entangle warhorses and capture enemy soldiers. Twisted with hemp rope to form a net, then tied to the periphery of the net with a heavy object. When they are thrown out, the net is naturally spread out and then shielded against the prey. If the warhorse was entangled in four hooves, it would immediately fall down, and it would not feel good after repeated attempts.

Gurus snorted. He didn't expect that he had always used a net to kill many opponents in the past, but now he had become the prey under the net. With the sound of air breaking behind him, Gurus turned around and saw the nets descending from the sky like spider webs. He drove his horses and constantly dodged the nets falling from the sky. If he really couldn't dodge, he would strike a fist from afar and rush it away.

After a dozen or so nets failed, several of them sped over Gurus on their left and right sides. The ten cavalry clenched their teeth and immediately, the knights raised a fire spear. It was a spear specially made by Zhan Lang. The spear was hollow and contained high explosives mixed with fire sand. Zhan Lang threw it out. When it hit its target, the flammable sand and explosives would rub against each other, causing a violent explosion. This was Zhan Lang's second weapon after the trap.

The fire spear flew one after another, arcing through the air before landing on Gurus. Gurus jumped up and turned around, his fists colliding with each other. The wind of his fists continuously struck the fire spears, detonating them in the air.

Flowers of fire bloomed in midair.

Gulus landed on the ground, rolled, dashed, and bounced on his horse. At this moment, the knights who had crossed the black horse made a sharp turn in the gray hills. Following a group of two knights, they pulled the tripping cord and headed towards Gulus. Gulus narrowed his eyes, his legs tightly clamped onto the horse's abdomen. The black horse jumped up, dodging the first tripwire, and landed safely on the ground. In an instant, the second path arrived, and Gurus dismounted from his horse and crashed into the tripwire. The two knights were dragged up on horseback and flew towards him.

The knight did not panic as he shouted, drawing his saber, and in the blink of an eye, he collided with Gurus.

A series of muffled sounds rang out.

The two knights flew out again. By the time they landed, they had already turned into two corpses. As for their long sabers, they were bent and twisted.

Gurus' body twisted as his toes scraped across the ground, shaving off a patch of sand and rocks. The sand and stones were filled with Origin Energy as they headed towards the third group of knights. The group of knights and horses were shot into a sieve, and blood spilled everywhere. Naturally, the stumbling block could not be pulled up and fell to the ground dejectedly. Curus had just caught up to the dark horse, and as soon as he flipped over the horse's back, a warning sign suddenly appeared.

An enormous and tyrannical aura descended from the sky.

Gurus raised his head. The golden flowers in front of him trembled, but his eyes were unable to open due to the fierce wind. It even pressed down on his optic nerves, causing him to feel as if stars were coming out of his eyes. He snorted, relying solely on his senses. She picked up Margaret with her big hand and rolled off the horse. He rolled a few more times and suddenly felt the ground shake. He attracted the shockwaves to avoid harming the woman in his arms. When he jumped up again, his gaze returned to normal. He saw Joey descend from the sky like a devil god, smashing the warhorse into pieces with a strange weapon in his hand.

The warhorse broke in the middle, blood splashing all over the ground, appearing extremely dazzling in the gray hills. Gurus' gaze fell on the weapon, which was welded with metal and had a rough metal warhammer at the front. The hammer was covered in serrated blades. The hammer was wrapped in a few chains, and the end of the chains was tied with a few metal spikes. Unlocking the chains was a weapon that could resist the enemy ten meters away. Now, the chains and spikes were coiled around a long metal handle as thick as a child's arm.

This strange thing was Joey's weapon, the Destroyer.

Undying Joey's bald head sparkled in the sun. He was still wearing a long coat of iron and leather, but there was a tight black armor underneath. The armor wrapped around his chest and even his arms, and a row of iron spikes that flickered with cold light appeared on the outside of his forearm, causing Gurus' heart to sink.

Joey was an invincible old monster in the Black Lands, not to mention that this monster was still fully armed. Not only did he bring the Saboteur, he also wore his armor [Poisonous Stinger]. Gurus quickly measured the strength of both sides in his heart, but his legs were weakened as a result.

He can't beat this old monster. Gurus thought desperately, but he still couldn't help but shout, "Why are you here?"

"Don't you think that only hiding in the shadows of Wes can kill me? You're too naive, Gurus. You must have some courage even though I have the highest opinion of you. In these twenty years, you are the first adopted son who dares to betray me. Unfortunately, you can't even estimate my combat strength. "One Weiss is not enough. It's more like pulling a general or that woman from the Eagle Wing Mountain Ridge."

"Now, tell me Gurus." Joey stopped the saboteur and shouted like thunder, "How do you two want to die!"

Before Gurus could reply, the woman in his arms suddenly struggled to free herself from him and shouted to Joey, "Brave Joey, my master forever. Please save me, this man, he took me away from you. Fortunately, you arrived, otherwise Margaret would never see you again!"

Gulus was dumbfounded, even more shocked than being struck by Joey with a saboteur. He looked at Margaret in disbelief, at the woman he had been with not long ago, and shouted, "What are you talking about, Margaret? Didn't you say that you would rather die if you were to return to this old man?"

"Really? Maybe you heard wrong."

The woman's indifference at this moment made Gurus feel extremely unfamiliar.
