"Get out of the way! That's..." Ning Yu's expression changed drastically as he roared to warn everyone, but his words were abruptly cut off by a violent energy surge. In the center of the battlefield, the already raging energy flow suddenly began to spin violently, forming several enormous energy vortexes that frantically devoured everything around them.
The soldiers scattered in terror, trying to escape the pull of the energy vortex, but it was all in vain. The ruined buildings, the charred trees, and the fleeing figures were all mercilessly swept into the vortex and vanished without a trace.
"Damn it!" Ning Yu struggled to steady himself, but was still pulled towards the center of the vortex by a powerful suction force. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the enemy troops, who had been routed, were now taking advantage of the chaos to flee in panic.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" A fierce glint flashed in Ning Yu's eyes as he condensed a dazzling ball of energy in his hand, about to throw it in the direction the enemy leader was fleeing.
"Ning Yu, be careful!" Just then, Mu Xue's anxious voice rang in his ears. Ning Yu subconsciously turned his head and saw Mu Xue struggling to resist the attraction of the energy vortex while reaching out her hand to him.
"Run! Don't worry about me!" Ning Yu roared at Mu Xue, the energy ball in his hand shining even brighter. He couldn't just watch his enemy escape before his eyes; otherwise, the consequences would be dire.
"Are you crazy?!" Mu Xue saw Ning Yu's actions and immediately understood what he was trying to do. Her expression changed drastically. "Those energy vortexes are too dangerous! You have no idea where they'll take you! Besides..."
Before Mu Xue could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a violent energy fluctuation. One of the energy vortexes suddenly expanded several times its original size, emanating a suffocating sense of oppression that enveloped Ning Yu and Mu Xue...
"Ning Yu, we must first figure out what these energy vortexes are!" Mu Xue's voice was somewhat distorted by the strong wind, but the anxiety and determination in her tone clearly reached Ning Yu's ears. "They've already started affecting us. If we let it go, the entire base could be swallowed up!"
Ning Yu understood this principle, of course. The enemy was indeed a major threat, but the immediate crisis was far more urgent. The appearance of these energy vortexes was too bizarre; the energy fluctuations they contained were several times stronger than any superpower he had ever seen. If they were allowed to run rampant, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I understand!" Ning Yu gritted his teeth and finally made his decision. He grasped Mu Xue's hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's deal with these damned things first!"
After saying that, he mobilized all his supernatural abilities to form a protective shield that enveloped the two of them, attempting to resist the suction force of the energy vortex.
"All squads, listen up! Retreat immediately and do not approach the energy vortex!" Ning Yu issued the retreat order through the communicator, his voice echoing across the chaotic battlefield.
Upon hearing the order, the team members, who had been fighting the enemy, began to retreat while fighting, trying to escape the influence of the energy vortex. However, the suction force of the energy vortex was too strong, and some team members who were closer were still pulled towards the center of the vortex, letting out cries of alarm.
"Captain! I can't control myself!" a team member cried out in despair. His body was being pulled out of shape and he was about to be sucked into the vortex.
"Hold on!" Ning Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to help, but Mu Xue held him back tightly.
"Are you crazy? Going there now is suicide!" Mu Xue shouted angrily. "We must first figure out the principles behind these energy vortexes before we can find a way to deal with them!"
Ning Yu took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He knew Mu Xue was right; acting impulsively now would only lead to pointless sacrifices.
"Everyone, stay as far away from the energy vortex as possible and await my orders!" Ning Yu issued the order again, his tone filled with solemnity.
Looking at the constantly rotating energy vortex in the distance, a resolute glint flashed in Ning Yu's eyes.
"This energy... seems familiar..." he murmured to himself, a sense of familiarity flashing through his mind, yet he couldn't quite grasp it.
"What did you just say?" Mu Xue asked.
Ning Yu did not answer. He closed his eyes and slowly extended his senses toward the energy vortex, trying to find the answer.
However, the moment his senses touched the energy vortex, a powerful force rebounded violently, causing him to stagger backward.
"Not good!" Ning Yu groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth... "Ning Yu!" Mu Xue exclaimed, quickly supporting the staggering Ning Yu.
Ning Yu's face was pale, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was particularly glaring. He clutched his chest, feeling the chaos of the supernatural power within him, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. This energy was so domineering; even a mere tentative contact had almost severely injured him.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ning Yu took a deep breath, calming the surging blood in his body. "I just didn't expect this energy to be so violent, and my superpower was suppressed a bit."
"What do we do now?" Mu Xue frowned deeply, looking at the ever-expanding energy vortex around her, her unease growing stronger.
"Take some men and look around to see if there's anywhere nearby where we can take temporary shelter," Ning Yu said to Mu Xue, forcing himself to endure his discomfort. "I'll be right back."
He knew this wasn't the time to be reckless; he needed to figure out the origins of these energy vortexes to find a solution. Right now, the most important thing was ensuring the safety of the other team members.
Mu Xue knew the situation was urgent, so she didn't say much, just nodded and led several team members to search in the distance.
