Chapter 48 The Queen's Trump Card
Next, Fang Senyan continued to transform. The +13 West turned into a silvery-white, mournful long blade, suddenly transforming from a deep blue quality into a legendary equipment quality. Even more terrifying was that Fang Senyan found… the Devil Sword Apophis in the transformation list!!
Without a doubt, Fang Senyan finally felt a sense of satisfaction at this moment, feeling that all the suffering was worth it.
However, the deep murderous intent and chill emanating from behind only intensified, and he clearly realized that the crisis behind him was still following him like a shadow, and even more intense! It was like an extremely sharp tip of a knife pointed at his heart, slowly pressing in inch by inch.
This situation was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to Fang Senyan, but Fang Senyan was never the kind of person to sit and wait for death!
He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then slowly turned the control stick to the right, rushing towards the shadow emerging from the distant horizon.
If one observed carefully, they could see that the color of the earth around Fang Senyan had slowly changed from iron-blue to black, that deathly stillness of black! As he continued to drive into it, the surface became severely desertified, and wisps of smoke emerged, as if the ground had just been ravaged by a raging fire for three days and three nights. There was absolutely no trace of life to be found; all that remained was a despairing silence!
Yes, this was the true environment on the Lost Temple planet, the area known as the "Dead Zone"!
In the areas where humans, Zerg, and Protoss could operate, the earth would be iron-blue, due to the growth of a common small moss-like plant in the soil, which could purify the not-too-strong aura of the Dead Zone.
Snake had also told Fang Senyan long ago that there were a large number of Dead Zones on this planet, and there was a strong toxic substance in the Dead Zones, which was fatally harmful to humans and Protoss. Even the Zerg, with their tenacious vitality, could not hatch their eggs in the Dead Zone.
At this time, Fang Senyan was forced into a dead end. Of course, he could only seek survival in a desperate situation!
Gradually, towering mountains like wolf teeth appeared in front, extremely sharp, seemingly piercing straight into the sky. The terrain here was similar to the karst landforms in the Guilin area, extremely complex except for the lack of water. After arriving here, the wind also increased significantly, passing through and encircling the mountain crevices, transmitting extremely shrill, howling sounds, like the endless wails of wronged souls, never stopping. And the deathly black mountains seemed to stretch to the edge of the sky, boundless and endless.
Having arrived here, Fang Senyan could only slow down. He dared not speed up to the limit of four hundred kilometers per hour again. He realized that his absolute speed was inferior to that of his pursuer, so there was no way he could sit idly by and watch the little head start he had painstakingly schemed for be eroded! So naturally, he had to use the harsh terrain to restrain the opponent's pursuit.
More importantly, Fang Senyan's ultimate goal was still to delay time. The Queen of Blades had now become the sole leader of the Zerg. For her, it was impossible to neglect public affairs for personal reasons and spend too much time chasing him. Otherwise, if the Protoss seized the opportunity, the Zerg, without the command of the Queen of Blades, would only end up being completely annihilated!
Suddenly, Fang Senyan noticed that the Vulture's chassis began to alarm, flashing red lights. It seemed that its chassis and engine were slowly malfunctioning, obviously being intensely corroded bit by bit by the special acidic toxic aura of the Dead Zone, eroding its lifespan.
This discovery made Fang Senyan happy instead of surprised, because it meant that in the near future, both sides would have to abandon their vehicles and expose themselves to extremely harsh natural conditions. However, Fang Senyan had the powerful Sun Ladder in his body, so he was immune to poisons and diseases, and also had extremely strong resistance to acids. This undoubtedly gave him a great advantage in this regard!
The Vulture began to weave through the towering wolf-tooth terrain with swiftness and intensity. A slight carelessness could lead to the disaster of vehicle destruction and death!

At this time, Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, had chased to within twenty seconds of Fang Senyan's full speed, but could only watch helplessly as this cunning guy sneaked into the depths of the Dead Zone.
Suddenly, Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, braked the Vulture to a halt. One could not discern any expression on her face, but in her pupils, it seemed as if countless stars were constantly exploding, converging, and being born and dying. Suddenly, the snake-like hairs on her head stood up together, trembling violently, and only calmed down after a long time!!
After a while, she suddenly closed her eyes, and then one could see nearly ten jellyfish-like floating Host organisms flying in from beyond the sky. Two of the floating Hosts were ordinary creatures, and they directly withered and died as soon as they landed, then turned into scorched ashes. The other few were elite-level, and quickly wriggled out a person from their inner cavities.
This person was none other than the Ghost soldier, Old Snake!
After this guy's attempt to lure monsters to harm Fang Senyan failed, he was targeted by the rest of the Zerg. Under the anti-invisibility effect of the Host, he was unable to get rid of the Zerg's pursuit. Fortunately, the Zerg that caught him sensed an aura similar to that of the Queen of Blades on his body, so they spared his life, only injecting him with anesthetic fluid and bringing him to Queen of Blades, Kerrigan.
Old Snake was tightly entangled by the fleshy tentacles of the Host, struggling frantically but still unable to move. Soon, the unique aura of the Dead Zone invaded his body. One could see that the special combat uniform was rapidly corroded into pieces, and then extended violently along the blood vessels under the skin, and gradually his aura weakened.
Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, suddenly turned around, looked at Old Snake, and said in a magnetic, resonant voice:
"Human, I see anger, unwillingness, and burning ambition in your eyes! Very good, I need you as a test subject!"
Old Snake weakly said:
"Queen of Blades... Sarah Kerrigan?"
Queen of Blades sneered:
"You want to move me with past events? Then you are completely wrong!"
She suddenly looked up to the sky, her mouth slightly open, and immediately emitted invisible shock waves. All seven or eight elite Hosts around her exploded into flesh and blood, falling to the ground. However, after these flesh and blood landed, they turned into the Zerg's unique creep under the Queen of Blades's psionic power, blocking the spread of the Dead Zone's toxic gas. And the remaining flesh and blood began to wriggle violently.
Queen of Blades suddenly plucked a snake hair from her head and threw it into the wriggling flesh and blood in front of her. Then, one could see that these flesh and blood rushed frantically towards Old Snake, and finally turned into a giant cocoon of flesh and blood standing in place. On that giant cocoon of flesh and blood, there were even a large number of blood vessels constantly bulging, contracting, and twitching, seemingly trying to supply energy to the inside.
However, Old Snake's uncontrollable screams of pain were intermittently transmitted from within the giant cocoon of flesh and blood.
"Pain is the driving force of life's evolution." Queen of Blades coldly said, "If you want to survive, then you must learn to draw the power of life from pain! When the Zerg Overmind transformed me back then, it was a completely unprecedented attempt. I was transformed seventeen times, and each time I found something wrong halfway through the transformation, and then I was restored to a human body! Compared to that, what is this little bit of pain of yours??? Wake up, wake up! My loyal servant, Pain Messenger!"
The giant cocoon of flesh and blood suddenly made a "kele" sound, like the sound of dry leaves being torn apart, and then seven or eight cracks appeared, followed by the air beginning to flood with a pungent amniotic fluid smell. Then, a humanoid monster appeared from within!!
This guy's body surface had a layer of Zerg exoskeleton, looking like armor, but his face looked somewhat similar to the Tyrant in Resident Evil. His hands and feet had a tree-like feel, but at the edges of the thick calluses, they seemed inconspicuous, but were actually very sharp. The most bizarre thing was that a sharp bone spear actually grew on his shoulder, like a polished rib, full of primitive and crazy aura, and his hair had completely degenerated, turning into one needle after another.
Fang Senyan's judgment was correct. The Queen of Blades really had no way to leave the tribe for too long, so she could not continue to pursue him into the depths of the Dead Zone. However, the captured Snake provided the Queen of Blades with another way, which was to transform Snake, who was also a Ghost soldier, grant him powerful power, make him the Pain Messenger, and pursue Fang Senyan!
"Go! Use the power and intuition I have bestowed upon you to track that person," Queen of Blades looked towards the complex terrain like wolf teeth not far away, and said sternly, word by word:
"Go and retrieve my Divine Stone, and that gun that once belonged to you! By the way, bring back the spine of that thief to me, I want to taste the taste of his bloodied spinal cord."
Old Snake, or rather the Pain Messenger, let out a shrill hiss and then tracked away on all fours like a werewolf. At this time, the flesh and blood carpet used to modulate Old Snake had all dried up, which shows the power of the Dead Zone!
