He suddenly felt a sense of impending doom.
In the darkness behind the distant flames, a figure crawled out from the collapsed frame and pulled the trigger at Huai Shi. But in his hand, the beautifully carved musket didn't shoot anything at all.
Only a piercing howl could be heard from the sky.
A silver ray of light appeared like a star, locked onto Huai Shi's head, and fell down.
Border Relic, Damocles.
It was a disaster weapon that summoned the Blade of Suspending Ceiling.
It ignored distance and bullet trajectory. As long as the Mountain Gazing on the gun locked onto the enemy's position and pulled the trigger, the weapon could descend upon the enemy's head.
It chased after the enemy like a shadow, never stopping until the enemy was dead.
In a short period of time, the sniper pulled the trigger again and again until most of the Origin Substance had been swallowed up by the Damocles.
The Blade of Suspending Ceiling quickly split apart, forming a spectacular meteor shower. As it fell, it grew rapidly, forming the embryonic form of the Blade of Destruction.
Then, Huai Shi raised his head and glanced at it. Everything came to an abrupt end.
The sharp blade that had been born from the darkness had been destroyed in the darkness before it had even fallen.
"What the hell?"
The sniper raised his head in shock. He couldn't believe it. Through his scope, there was clearly nothing there. But in that instant, he caught a glimpse of a few flickering flames, and … dancing darkness.
The darkness suddenly expanded and then quickly closed, swallowing the Blade of Suspending Ceiling. With the sound of metal shattering, the blade was strangled to death in its infancy.
That … … something was there!
Before he could react, the illusory, weak flames had already rushed towards him.
There was a gust of wind.
The sniper retreated without hesitation. He pulled on the hook, and his body quickly rose into the clouds. However, the camouflage suit he was wearing had already been sliced open.
His bulletproof vest was also covered in cuts. Under the cuts, a wound opened up on his chest, dripping with blood.
With fear and trepidation, he quickly rose. Behind the giant jellyfish hidden in the clouds, he used the light from the dozens of tentacles to finally see the invisible thing that had attacked him.
The strange "darkness" revealed its ferocious appearance.
The silhouettes of countless birds appeared in the ripples, as well as pairs of scarlet eyes.
They were ghosts that resided in the darkness.
They glanced indifferently at the attacker who was hiding behind the jellyfish. They did not linger and once again disappeared into the darkness.
The Dark Windbreaker's innate ability was like a fish in water here. The darker the place, the more hidden their existence was. No matter what kind of observation method was used, it was difficult to see their bodies.
When the fire illuminated everything, the Yin Soul naturally had nowhere to hide.
However, the places where the fire couldn't reach were their hunting grounds.
It was hard to see what had happened.
However, the rapidly approaching beasts were constantly disappearing, as if they had been swallowed up by the darkness. It was so fast that only the ferocious cries of the crows could be heard.
Only when the flickering candlelight flew by would the jagged bones and broken corpses be revealed. Its scarlet eyes flickered in the deepest darkness, spreading a vicious poison and nightmare, an unbridled Taotie.
In the end, even the intermittent whispers could no longer continue and abruptly stopped. Under the frenzied attacks of the Abyssal Ratmen, the Abyssal Mutants scattered.
The mighty Crow Tide swept through the fire field and finally showed its strange figure around Huai Shi.
It was as if black clouds had suddenly covered the earth.
As Huai Shi raised his hand, a Crow with a candlestick in its mouth landed on his arm. It folded its wings that glowed with iron light and looked around with its scarlet eyes.
Its gaze fell on the depths of the fire field.
That was the biggest threat in the senses of the Yin Soul at this moment.
Amidst the dancing crimson light, a figure wearing a cloak stood silently for a long time. It was still the gorgeous mask, the capable military uniform, and even the ancient military knife at his waist that he had seen before.
His posture was tall and straight.
Like a nail being hammered into the fire, he was also looking here quietly.
"Colonel?"
Huai Shi looked over, then looked around again. "You're the only one here? “
"There's no need to look. I'm the only member of the troupe here. I'm the one in charge here. “
The colonel's voice came from the flames, low and distant.
He bowed slightly and greeted the young man standing in the darkness with his hand on his chest.
"We meet again, Mr. Huai Shi," he said.
"I'm sorry that I didn't greet you properly before. If I had known earlier, the welcome ceremony last time would have been more solemn."
Huai Shi raised his eyebrows slightly. "Oh? Have you inquired about me? "
Under the mask, the colonel seemed to be smiling and said in a warm tone, "As a competitor, the star newcomer of the Ivory Tower should at least have some understanding, right?"
"What a pity." Huai Shi shrugged and continued to move forward. "I thought I would become a fan."
Bang!
A high-pitched chirp suddenly burst out, followed by a roar.
Heavy arrows whistled through the air like a torrential downpour, nailing themselves in front of Huai Shi with a buzzing sound. Forty-one heavy iron arrows that were half the height of a person had been deeply wedged into the cracked cement.
What was more surprising was that the forty-one heavy arrows could maintain a precise distance and angle between each other. It was as if an absolutely straight fence had grown out of the ground out of thin air.
It stopped Huai Shi 50 steps away from the colonel.
"Just stand there. Don't come closer." The colonel raised his hand and said, "Sorry, I'm actually a Stockholmer. I'm a little autistic and not used to close contact with people."
"Observed Centaur Cavalry — —"
The gargoyle's report came from the earpiece. "The number is about a company. There are more hellish groups inside, as well as a lot of engineering equipment … "
With the gargoyle's report, Huai Shi also saw the vague shadows coming out of the fire, holding giant bows and aiming at him.
The killing intent was piercing.
Huai Shi looked down at the boundary under his feet and raised his head to ask, "Where are our people?"
The colonel looked back and called a figure over. After asking a question, he laughed softly. "They're still resisting underground, but they won't last long …"
Boom!
As he waved his hand, the giant jellyfish in the clouds suddenly pulled out its tentacles from the ground. The tentacles that looked as soft as ribbons were pulling dozens of boulders that weighed hundreds of tons. With a casual swing, the boulders fell to the ground messily.
And in the center of the oil refinery, a huge crack in the ground was pulled open again. Countless metal structures hidden underground were revealed.
Like removing the shell of a machine, countless spinning or stuck gears were revealed in front of the jellyfish. It was complicated and difficult to start with.
But now, under the jellyfish's tentacles, it began to violently smash all the obstacles and insignificant things, pry them open, and went straight to the core — the most important sub-control device.
This was the proud creation of the Ivy League, and also a biochemical machine that was sold in large quantities in hell as a military product.
Ultra-heavy engineering chimera.
Just one chimera was enough to replace dozens of huge engineering equipment. When necessary, it could even be used as a shield tunneling machine to carry out underground work and excavation.
Under the operation of many different types of tentacles, the external defense of the oil refinery was easily dismantled.
It could be foreseen that with such a huge difference in the number of enemies, the members of the exploration team who lost the geographical advantage could only shrink inwards. It was only a matter of time before they were completely defeated.
"Mr. Huai Shi, as a scholar, I don't want to have a conflict with others from the bottom of my heart.
Even if I'm called a colonel, I'm actually an anti-war person. I've always been a pacifist … It's not my intention to meet on the battlefield.
Work is work, I hope you can understand. "
The colonel suddenly raised his voice and suggested, "If it's possible, please stand there and wait for a while. After the excavation here is completed, we'll guarantee the safety of all your internal members and return them. I'll bet on the reputation of the Ivy League, and I'll make the above guarantee to you. "
"If you surrender now, I can also guarantee your safety. I don't need the reputation of the Ivory Tower, I'll guarantee it for myself.
If you don't surrender, I'll definitely cut off your head with this sword, right here, right here. "
Huai Shi raised the Sword of Virtue expressionlessly and asked, "What do you think of this proposal?"
"Then I'm sorry. I really can't surrender, and I don't really want to die."
The colonel sighed softly and waved his hand, "If that's the case, then there's only one solution …"
Following his movement, in the flames, a low roar burst forth again. Ferocious shadows slowly rose, gathered into a formation, and advanced forward.
In the high-pitched sound of the horn, four companies, a total of 416 Minotaurs heavy warriors, stepped on the fire and arrived.
In this short gap, all of them were equipped with gas masks and goggles. A new layer of defensive coating was also plated on the thick armor, preventing the corrosion of the poison to the greatest extent.
In the middle of the formation, the hunchbacked shamans supported themselves with crutches, splashing the blood in their leather bags. They chanted hymns and released the blessing from hell, causing their eyes to turn red and almost lit up with blood-red light.
Under the mask, they exhaled scorching hot breaths.
The iron hooves trampled on the ground, creating blazing sparks.
Accompanied by a low sound that made one's scalp tingle, countless bowstrings were slowly tightened. The centaurs pulled back their giant bows and aimed at Huai Shi and the large group behind him from afar.
They were ready to attack.
In a short silence, Huai Shi reached out and took out the remote control that Andrea gave him from his pocket. He thought for a moment, looked up at the distance in front of him, and put it back.
Although the firepower support from the Iron Crystal was convenient, the distance between them was too short. It was difficult to ensure safety, and at the same time, it was impossible to ensure that the branch control center would not be damaged.
Unless it was to the extent of a life and death struggle, it was better to ensure the integrity of the strategic target first.
Although the Lord of the Flies' destructive power was enough to be used in a one-on-one battle, in this kind of battlefield, the overflow damage to a single person could not form an effective AOE damage. It was a weapon that had been used once, so it was impossible for the enemy not to be prepared.
Now, there were only five bullets left in the Judgment Mode magazine, and he could only replenish one bullet every two months. He had to use it carefully.
Therefore, in the short silence, Huai Shi suddenly raised his head and asked the colonel an unrelated question.
"By the way, what day is it today?"
