213

The roar of the airplane was like a sharp sword hanging high, piercing straight into the tranquil depths of the forest. Tang Yue and the others were only hiding in the treetops above them, and the deafening sound seemed to tear their eardrums apart. Every face was filled with solemnity.

Tang Yue sensed that the people on the plane must have noticed something was wrong and would probably start indiscriminate bombing now. She looked around; if they moved now, they would definitely be spotted by the people on the plane.

"Then we have no choice but to..." Tang Yue quickly stepped aside, her hands moving rapidly. Streams of spiritual energy, like silk threads, coiled out and intertwined in the air to form an invisible net. This way, even if a bomb fell, it would be bounced off to another location by the net.

Tang Yue felt that her spiritual power was still limited and she needed to continue to grow stronger. Therefore, she cultivated every moment she spent in the Qinling Mountains.

Xu Hongchang gripped his gun tightly, leaned against a tree trunk, and scanned the sky warily. He said in a low voice, "It seems they've noticed something's wrong. Everyone, follow my orders and retreat deeper into the forest!"

Everyone nodded, crouched low, and carefully moved deeper into the forest.

At this moment, the plane was getting closer and closer, its wings cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound, casting shadows that shrouded the earth like ghosts.

Chen Erniu looked up, his eyes filled with anger and resentment, and cursed under his breath through gritted teeth: "These sons of bitches, if I catch them, I'll skin them alive!"

The group fled desperately through the forest, the withered branches and leaves crunching under their feet as if it were a countdown to death.

Tang Yue ran while keeping an eye on the movements behind her. She knew that once the bomb fell, the surrounding area would instantly turn into a sea of ​​fire. Suddenly, she spotted a low-lying area ahead, surrounded by overgrown weeds, offering some cover. She shouted, "Run that way, quick!"

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed towards the low-lying area with all their might.

Just as they had taken cover, the first bomb came crashing down. The huge explosion shook the earth, and the shockwave sent dirt and branches flying everywhere.

Tang Yue quickly erected a spiritual energy shield, protecting everyone behind her from shrapnel. The others, unaware of Tang Yue's abilities, instinctively shielded the little girl at the bottom when they jumped down into the depression, preventing her from being injured by the bombs.

Tang Yue felt a warmth in her heart as she was surrounded by the crowd. How could she possibly let these people go?

The planes circled overhead, dropping bomb after bomb. The forest was instantly engulfed in flames and thick smoke, the acrid smell of gunpowder filling the air and making it hard to breathe.

Tang Yue was extremely anxious. She knew that passively taking the beating was not a solution, and she had to come up with a plan.

However, her current flight speed in the sky is nowhere near that of an airplane. To protect everyone, she can only try to make the people on the plane think they have been bombed, or divert the plane's attention.

On a sudden inspiration, she swiftly formed hand seals, and as her spiritual energy surged, she created several illusory figures in the distance, which appeared to be running frantically.

Then, she separated a portion of her spiritual energy and sent it rushing in the opposite direction from the others, causing a violent commotion, as if someone was fleeing.

A pilot was intently watching the ground, preparing to drop the last batch of bombs, when he suddenly noticed something unusual in the forest. He frowned slightly and spoke into the plane's walkie-talkie in Japanese: "There are still people running down there. We don't have many bombs left. Find the right spot before dropping them."

Tang Yue realized that the people above were indeed attracted by her method. She squeezed out of the encirclement of the group. Chen Erniu looked uncertainly at the distance and asked in confusion.

"I think I just saw someone over there. Could it be that there are still some Japanese soldiers left?"

Tang Yue...

This guy has pretty good eyesight. Tang Shengkai looked at his daughter, knowing it must have been her doing. "No, I'm sure they've all been killed. You must have seen wrong."

"Alright, hurry up and make some repairs; they probably don't have many bombs left."

This time, Tang Yue made the commotion even further away, and with the roar of airplanes overhead, the group didn't notice anything amiss. Several planes seemed to have pinpointed their locations, and seeing that the number of people matched, they directly dropped bombs on their precisely targeted positions.

Multiple bombs simultaneously

The destructive power of the bombs was evident. With a series of loud explosions, the bombs detonated in the distant dense forest, and powerful shockwaves raged outwards like enraged beasts.

The towering tree was snapped in half in an instant, its thick branches flying everywhere like fragile matchsticks under the impact of the explosion, and its leaves were shaken and scattered all over the sky.

Dazzling flames rose and fell in the dense forest, illuminating the once dark woods as if it were daytime. The shockwave from the explosion swept in with overwhelming force, mercilessly destroying everything in its path. Dry branches and fallen leaves on the ground were instantly ignited, and the fire spread rapidly.

"Damn it, these bastards, the mountain is on fire! Quick, put out the fire!"

Xu Hongchang watched as thick smoke billowed into the distance and quickly spread through the woods, and immediately gave the order.

Everyone knew the seriousness of the forest fire, and without hesitation, they quickly ran towards the burning area. The once fresh air in the forest was now filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder.

As you get closer, the thick smoke, like a giant black wave, shrouds the entire forest in darkness, making it hard to breathe and blurring your vision.

The explosion ignited a massive fire that raged through the dense forest, spreading rapidly with the help of the wind and creating a sea of ​​flames. The flames licked at the trees, crackling and popping as if the forest itself were groaning in agony.
