Thoreau was sure that the location he chose was not being monitored.
There were no satellites in the sky. There was no one within a dozen miles either.
Plus, they were teleported to the sea. How could they be discovered?
But facts spoke louder than words. His subordinate was attacked and died on the spot.
"His heart is gone!" Ai Boli checked the corpse and quickly told them the cause of death. "Ai Boli checked the corpse and quickly told them the cause of death.
Thoreau's expression froze. He would have to think about what spell this strange attack was before, but on Earth, he did not need to think. This was probably the effect of the Absolute characteristic.
"It's the traitor's attack. We've been discovered! Damn it, where did it come from? "Thoreau looked around cautiously.
"It can't be that there's no trace at all, right?" Ai Boli's expression was grave.
They were caught off guard. What made them even more helpless was that they did not know who it was. What did they use? Where was it? How did it happen?
An attack without a clue, without a clear enemy, and with peace all around, one died with a snap. This was the first time they had seen such an attack.
Even though they were mentally prepared, they had only just arrived.
They did not know much about the enemy yet, and the enemy had already attacked. This completely messed up their plan.
"Take the body," Thoreau said. "We'll leave first."
Just as they were about to leave, an Aswa suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. Another pool of blood seeped out.
"I see you!" Thoreau yelled with a cold expression.
Everyone was excited. Did Thoreau find the enemy?
Thoreau closed his eyes and said, "Using the Absolute characteristic, you made me unable to sense you. Then you went through my body and took my subordinate's heart …
"Sneaky rat, my heart is right here. Come and take it!"
Thoreau pointed at his heart with his finger.
Everyone held their breaths. But after a long time, other than the sea breeze and the crawling crabs, nothing happened.
Thoreau opened his eyes and sneered. "You don't dare, right? You only know how to attack my subordinate. Are you afraid that I'll kill you instead? "
He spoke to the air in front of him, and at this moment, another Aswa fell.
"Come at me!" Thoreau yelled again.
Ai Boli said worriedly, "Are you confident?"
Clearly, she could tell that Thoreau was planning to counterattack when the enemy attacked her.
Thoreau secretly said, "I changed the location of my heart."
Ai Boli nodded, and everyone moved their hearts. Their powerful bodies could support them, and the furthest they could move their hearts was at the base of their thighs.
However, very soon, another person fell.
Before he died, he fiercely pointed at the empty space in front of him. His knuckles made a crisp sound, and his palm actually split open, revealing a muzzle that shot out a red laser.
The laser pierced through the air and hit a tree in the distance, melting it.
The broken parts of the tree were set ablaze because of the high temperature.
After doing all this, that person fell down unwillingly. His eyes were wide open as he died in a sinister manner.
It was useless. He had no idea how the enemy had taken his heart.
Just like that, people kept dying. It was as if an invisible enemy was leisurely shuttling back and forth among them, taking away their hearts without any pattern.
Thoreau's expression darkened. Ai Boli said, "Something's not right. I don't think … I don't think there are any enemies!"
"There's no pattern to the sequence of attacks either."
The previous victim and the next victim were not close to each other. In fact, they were quite far apart.
If there was an invisible enemy attacking, there was no reason for them to take a detour and kill one person here and there.
"It's random. I was wrong. This is a random death!"
Thoreau quickly came up with a solution based on the little experience he had gleaned from the ancient reports.
Soon, he said, "Got it. There has to be a range of random deaths. Otherwise, why would our people die randomly?"
"Let's get out of here immediately! We'll be fine as long as we leave the range. "
An invisible enemy losing their hearts inexplicably was a situation they had never encountered before.
But compared to ordinary people, they were all very calm. Even though they might die in the next second, they did not panic.
Under Thoreau's lead, they jumped back into the sea.
Thoreau waved his hand, and the shape of a ship appeared on the skin of his palm. Soon, a large ship floated out of the sea.
It was the alchemist who had been responsible for assisting him. He had sent the ship over from Aswa.
It was just a propelled ship. The magic power system had been removed long ago, and it was now powered by normal heat.
Even so, when this ship arrived on Earth, it would still be able to traverse the four seas and even fly into space.
That was because the materials used by the Aswans were too good. They were only second to alloys in strength and hardness. Not only that, they were also powered by nuclear power.
Of course, this was not because the Aswans had mastered scientific nuclear fusion technology.
Instead, the mighty figures of their civilization had stripped thousands of tons of fusion elements from the stars with the power of laws and stuffed them into the energy chamber of this ship.
They used materials that could withstand a hundred million degrees to lock the explosive fusion energy.
When it accelerated, part of it leaked out and spurted out of the propeller tube.
In other words, the ship would intermittently spurt out flames and jump forward section by section.
This was already the fastest transportation tool they could make in the anti-magic environment of the mother universe.
They had used extraordinary power and terrifying strength to forcibly create this scientific object.
In the eyes of scientists, this thing had taken a detour to who knew where. How could the design be so crude with such good materials?
But it could not be helped. For alchemists, mechanical design was just an appearance. Only apprentices would study it. Grand alchemists pursued the structure of laws, not the inside.
Now, for the sake of the plan to conquer Earth, they were forced to turn to studying 'appearances' and create such a thing.
Thoreau and the others boarded the ship. They operated the deck of the ship to rise out of the dome and turn it into a warhead.
Bang! The ship roared, and a burst of shockwaves gushed out from the tail.
In an instant, the ship flew out like a cannonball.
It fell back into the sea after a few kilometers and then accelerated explosively. This repeated until they were far away from the coastline.
But the Grim Reaper was still following them.
Every ten seconds or so, someone would die.
The heart suddenly disappeared. In the world of Aswa, they could continue to use the external brain to maintain their thoughts even if their head was gone, let alone the heart.
But on Earth, they did not have this method. The external brain had turned into a tumor.
Although they could shift their hearts and even have ways to quickly heal damaged hearts, they really could not immediately grow another heart without a whole heart!
"Damn it, we're so far away. Why are people still dying?" Thoreau frowned.
Random within a certain range was nothing more than meeting a certain condition.
It was either the same type of people or the same region.
But they were so far away, and people were still dying. This was very strange.
If it was not the same region, then what was it? The same type of people?
"What's going on? The people who died are all Aswans. The traitors can actually make this effect kill randomly among us? "Ai Boli said.
Thoreau ignored her. He opened the dome and looked at the sky. Not long after, a group of air forces caught up.
It was obvious that such a big commotion had alarmed Lan Baishe.
"Hmph!" Thoreau's eyes widened. The strong signal pulse directly blocked the operation of the group of planes, causing them to lose control and fall from the sky like dumplings.
Some people parachuted to escape, while others stepped on the air and jumped in the air.
"Tsk, that's it?" Ai Boli reached out and instantly shot out a laser, piercing through a person's body.
Compared to the terrifying random deaths, the pursuers in front of him were not even worth mentioning.
This red laser lasted for a very short time, but the instantaneous power was very high. It was made with a beam collector implanted in the arm.
Even though it needed to be recharged after a few shots, this ship had plenty of energy, so it was fine.
"Our hearts can be used to locate locations. The governor has already located the victim's heart and sent a beacon there," Thoreau said.
Ai Boli sensed it. It was more than a thousand kilometers away. Comparing it to the map, it was East Timor.
In other words, the hearts of the people who died just now were mysteriously sent more than a thousand kilometers away.
"So the source of the attack is there?" Ai Boli said.
"That's right, we've been exposed! The enemy took our hearts from thousands of kilometers away! I didn't expect it to be so fast! I wanted someone else to take the lead, but it turned out to be us … How? What went wrong? "Thoreau said gloomily.
"Whatever," Ai Boli said. "Since it's like this, let's just ask the governor to send the army over. We have nothing to hide."
Thoreau said, "The enemy has something that can kill randomly among us! We must get it! And as soon as possible! If we continue to let them have it, unless we escape back to Aswa, we'll die sooner or later! "
"Don't waste time with these weaklings. Let's hurry to this place called East Timor. I understand now. They must know that we can locate that place … They're purposely forcing us there."
"Someone's waiting for us there …"
