The mantis monster leader's eyes flashed with horror, and he shouted with a stern face, "Attack from three sides! Leave no one alive!"

Rat-headed men sprang from the ground, mantis monsters came from the sky, and dog-headed men, toad-men, and wolf-headed men attacked from three directions.

In this way, three sides were completely sealed off, leaving only the path leading to the depths of Death Valley.

"How ruthless the ancient Shu people are!" Ma Youshan was breathless, his clothes were tattered in many places, and he was struggling to wield the Overlord Spear. "You all need to leave quickly!"

Li Tianyi, however, swooped down in his space slam and pulled him behind him. "Go!"

Ma Youshan smiled bitterly, "You shouldn't have come back to save me!"

"What are you saying?" Li Tianyi turned his head and glared at him. "Uncle Ma, in my heart, you are like my father."

Ma Youshan's expression was complicated.

"When father and son are of one mind, their strength can break metal! Fight their way out!"

"good!"

The two men took turns providing cover as they charged toward the location of the search and rescue team.

Meanwhile, the sniper team was providing full cover, and the demolition team was busy setting up a large minefield.

The two assault team members were exhausted, but fortunately the elite team temporarily took over the cover mission, and Luo Shan and Luo Ying were rapidly recovering.

As Li Tianyi and Ma Youshan approached, a large number of enemies appeared.

"Hurry, hurry!" Isabelle shouted.

The space surfboard has been pushed to its limit, leaving a long trail behind it as it weaves through a dense barrage of lasers.

"Cover us with all your might!" Luo Shan, dragging his exhausted body, fired at the enemy.

Luo Ying quickly followed.

The search and rescue team members unleashed their full firepower, suppressing the enemy and preventing them from advancing for the time being.

After Li Tianyi joined them, he immediately threw out two energy cannons and shouted, "Bomb them!"

The demolition team immediately adjusted the parameters and locked onto the target.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Two white beams of light struck the east and south, leaving no trace of the nearby enemies.

"Damn it, we finally got a chance, how come they're carrying around a devastating cannon?" The rat-headed commander was furious. "Concentrate firepower, we absolutely cannot let them break through!"

"They have heavy weapons, and we only have light weapons. How are we supposed to block them?" The toad-man glared at him and thought to himself, "Damn it, all the dead are my men. If you're so capable, send your rat-headed army to block the gun emplacements!"

The rat-headed man was incredibly clever; he saw right through his thoughts and said, "Before we came out, we all made a solemn pledge: if we couldn't work together as a team and let them escape, have you thought about the consequences?"

Several battalion commanders trembled, looked at their own men, and coldly shouted, "Charge!"

They led the charge, what could their men say?

Just as the rescue team caught their breath, the enemy pressed in from all sides again.

"These damn locusts are so annoying!" Li Tianyi cursed, but his hands didn't slow down at all. He threw five instant-fire laser cannons from the system space and rushed towards the densest part of the enemy group.

ah!

Ahh...

The enemy suffered extremely heavy casualties, but their morale not only did not decline but increased.

As the distance closed, the laser beam struck the makeshift defensive position erected by the search and rescue team.

"We're all going to die here if this continues!" Ma Youshan's mind raced as he looked around. Suddenly, he shouted, "They want us to go into the heartland, right? Let's do as they want and go into the heartland!"

"Dad, are you trying to undermine us?" Luo Shan's eyes lit up.

"It's just a stopgap measure!" Ma Youshan stepped back. "Let's get rid of these enemies first, then we'll think of something else!"

"good!"

Li Tianyi was the last person to leave.

The enemy quickly rushed onto the position, but they could no longer be seen, and the enemy roared in anger.

The toad-man captain and the dog-headed man captain were even more furious. "Seal off the surrounding area! If they go in, they won't come out alive!"

"clear!"

The mantis monster captain glanced at his trusted aide and whispered, "Quickly send the message back! Remember: you must personally deliver the message to the Grand Strategist!"

As the subordinate received the order, the two men touched hands, and a small note fell into the trusted aide's hand...

On the other side.

Dragon Kingdom, Death Valley Command Center.

"We must rescue the search and rescue team at all costs!" Kang Zhonghua said anxiously, his face stern.

"Old Kang, calm down!" Luo Yun patted him on the shoulder and handed him a letter. "Tianyi asked me to give this to you!"

The letter was unfolded, revealing only a landscape painting.

The advisors all looked at each other in bewilderment, while Kang Zhonghua frowned deeply.

"What exactly is Li Zhanshen trying to say?" asked a staff officer.

"I just checked the surrounding terrain map, and it's completely wrong!" The staff officer glanced at the sand table. "Do you think it might be trying to represent a place somewhere in Death Valley, not here at all?"

Kang Zhonghua was startled and rushed toward the high-resolution aerial map of Death Valley that he had taken earlier, searching very carefully.

The remaining personnel immediately reacted and split into eight groups to search on the aerial photograph.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Suddenly, Luo Yun turned the landscape painting upside down, held it upright, and exclaimed happily, "Look!"

He was shocked by what he saw. Kang Zhonghua immediately rushed to the sand table and began to rapidly perform the simulation, cold sweat pouring down his face. "Contact Number Three immediately, and be quick!"

The call was answered quickly.

Kang Zhonghua grabbed the phone, his hands trembling. "Number 3, I don't have time to explain in detail right now. Please give the order to deploy all super-heavy firepower in the country to cover the Kunlun Mountains!"

Number Three's face was grim. He paused for a few seconds, then said, "Fine, I'll give the order immediately!"

The order was quickly relayed to all major military regions, and all ultra-long-range heavy firepower units locked onto their respective attack zones.

Whoosh!

Countless intercontinental ballistic missiles and super cannons headed towards the Kunlun Mountains.

hiss, boom...

Artillery units from all over the country reported that there were protective shields!

Number Three sighed deeply, "Connect me to the Dafengshan Laboratory!"

Long Weiguo took the phone, his voice trembling, and stood ramrod straight. "Number Three!"

"Are there any heavy weapons that can tear through the protective shield and attack targets below?" Number Three asked expectantly.

"Yes, it is!" Long Weiguo paused for a moment, "It's been successful in the laboratory, but it hasn't been put into production yet!"

"How long will it take to work day and night?"

"It will take at least five days!" Long Weiguo thought for a moment, "Four days!"

"Too long!" Number Three ordered. "I'm only giving you two days. If you need anything, just contact me directly. This thing has to be made for me!"

"Yes, mission accomplished!" He hung up the phone and roared, "Everyone, drop everything and focus on producing the God-Slaying Armor-Piercing Rounds!"

......

Death Valley, a mountain stream.

The search and rescue team was resting, and Isabelle cautiously looked around.

"Is everyone alright?" Li Tianyi looked at Ma Youshan and Luo Shan. "Have you recovered?"

"It's alright!" The two forced themselves to stand up.

Li Tianyi handed over a bottle of pills, "Take two pills and recover as soon as possible!"

"good!"

The two swallowed the pills, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate their energy; their depleted strength slowly began to recover...

Coo, coo!

The cuckoo's call woke everyone up.

Gesture: What's going on?

Isabelle waved her hand, "No abnormalities!"

Li Tianyi's anxiety was completely relieved, and he began to recover more quickly.

An hour later, everyone had recovered. Although they were not at their peak condition, killing small groups of enemy troops was no longer a problem.

"map!"

Luo Ying immediately unfolded the map.

Li Tianyi picked up a small pebble from the ground. "This is our current location. To the southwest is the enemy's headquarters, and to the west are the Kunlun Mountains..."

"What do you want to say?" Ma Youshan was completely confused.

"Look, everyone!" Li Tianyi used a tree branch to connect to the enemy's headquarters. "Do you have confidence?"

"Too risky!" Luo Shan was sweating profusely. "If they really attack like that, none of us will have a chance of survival!"

"But if I don't do this, I really can't think of any way to break this deadlock!" Li Tianyi said with a wry smile.

Isabelle suddenly remembered something and pulled out a note. "Sisi gave this to me before we set off. She said to activate it when we encounter a situation where we are certain to die!"

The paper strip unfolds:

Brother Tian, ​​are you planning to behead the enemy leader? If so, you absolutely must not go.

You are in the shadows, they are in the light. You have many opportunities to behead them, there is no need to fight them to the death.

My suggestion: Guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare!

Luo Shan nodded in satisfaction, "As long as we keep harassing them, the enemy will be exhausted. Over time, they will become frustrated, and then an opportunity to decapitate them will arise."

“You only understand the surface meaning!” Ma Youshan gave a thumbs up towards Dafeng Mountain. “Sisi wants us to focus the enemy’s attention on us. They’re going to make a huge move!”

"Old ginger is spicier, Uncle Ma!" Li Tianyi smiled. "When we get back, I'll make you the strategist of Dafeng Mountain!"

"Get lost!" Ma Youshan pointed at his hairline. "I only have this much hair left. You think you can make me bald? No way!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and their tense mood eased considerably.

Li Tianyi looked up at the sky and then checked the time. "There are still more than two hours until dark. Everyone, hurry up and get some rest. We'll give him a nocturnal approach!"

"OK!"

Replace Isabelle and wait for nightfall.

Time flies, and darkness falls.

"Ghost Fear, when do we make our move?" Ma Youshan rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

Li Tianyi lazily rolled over. "No rush, let's wait a bit!"

More than two hours passed, and Ma Youshan was getting impatient. Li Tianyi finally sat up and shouted, "Everyone, get ready to go!"

They moved swiftly, crossing the mountain stream and making their way towards the ancient Shu people's position...

Several kobolds were lounging together lazily.

"Boss, they just look down on us kobolds and make us guard this godforsaken place!"

"Yeah, this is so frustrating!"

The kobold squad leader's face was also grim. He sighed deeply, "Who told us that our clan's experts are inferior to theirs?"

Everyone sighed in unison.

Suddenly, the kobold on the left slant sniffed the air and looked down in confusion.

Isabelle quickly concealed her presence and warily stared in the direction of the enemy.

"What are you doing, kid?" His companion patted him on the shoulder. "Come on, let's get something to eat. What's the point of guarding this crappy place!"

The kobold soldier hesitated, then muttered under his breath as he left with his companions, "I must be so hungry, even my sense of smell isn't working properly anymore!"

Shortly after they left their positions, Isabelle made a rapid advance, getting less than 100 meters from the forward positions...
