Chapter 140: Team Encounter
Although this outpost is not particularly large, it has all the necessary facilities.
However, there are more than 3,000 people gathered here at the moment, so it is impossible to cover everything.
Just like now, after finishing the morning game, at noon, Yu Cang could only sit in his seat and eat his box lunch.
"Master Yu Cang, how is it? Are you used to eating it?" Wan Quan walked over and asked.
"Very good." Yu Cang nodded.
"Alas, the conditions for previous armament overhauls weren't this harsh." Wan Quan shook his head. "In previous years, although the venues were also in the wilderness outside the country, they were all in large strongholds, more than enough to accommodate 3,000 people, and they were equipped with dedicated canteens and dormitories... I don't know what happened this year, not only is there no canteen, but there's also nowhere to sleep at night. I have to take the soldiers back to Yujiang. I'm afraid the journey will be bumpy."
"Really?" Yu Cang smiled. "Then it seems my luck is a bit bad... However, I see this outpost is very new. I guess it was built just for this alien space entrance. It's normal that the facilities are not complete."
"I think so." Wan Quan chuckled, "We're fine. We've been through tougher conditions before. I'm just worried you won't be able to get used to it, Master."
"That's not the case. I'm not that delicate."
"That's good……"
The rest time was not long, and soon everyone had finished resting.
Fang Pei's face was still filled with excitement even when he was eating.
After all, not everyone can experience the experience of being hit head-on by a legendary weapon... Especially since he is only a level four.
Although judging from the final result, it was the legendary beast that didn't take itself seriously at the beginning and didn't use its true strength, which gave me the opportunity to injure it... But it also injured the legendary beast, which was a real record!
In particular, this record was achieved in front of military regions across the country!
While eating, he deliberately pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation in the neighboring military district. Sure enough, many people were talking about his shot, and their words were mostly full of surprise and admiration.
What could be more refreshing than this!
He has even figured out how to greet his comrades from other companies when he returns to the ancient capital in a few days.
"Hey, how did you know I defeated a legendary one with one shot?"
When Fang Pei thought of that scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he even ate his food much faster.
…
Soon, it was time for the afternoon game to begin.
Squad encounter.
"Oh? Are we the second ones to go on stage this time?" Yu Cang raised his eyebrows.
"...It's my fault. This order is not very good." Lin Yunqing frowned slightly.
Just now, she was the one who drew the lot.
This year's major armament overhaul is different from previous years. The content of the project is kept completely confidential, and no one knows what kind of enemy they will encounter before the battle begins.
Just like the morning events, the teams that showed up early rushed into the venue blindly. Even the powerful Long Benxi Jian was killed by Chu Jian when facing the lurking wild beast.
Yu Cang smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't make much difference... With the intelligence we got this morning, the battle should be much easier this afternoon. Besides... isn't there an imperial capital ahead of us?"
That’s right, the first one to appear is the imperial capital.
The two strongest teams ranked in the top two, and Yu Cang began to wonder if this was the association's bad taste.
After sitting down at the ancient capital's seat and waiting for a moment, the legendary broadcast soul card appeared before everyone's eyes again.
The Dire Border was still pitch black, but this time there was only one scene - the afternoon matches were played one team at a time.
This seems to be a valley with rugged terrain and poor visibility.
With a flash of light, a team appeared on the screen.
…
As soon as he landed, He Qi immediately pinched out a soul card and placed it in his hand.
"Stay alert and execute plan A."
The Nightmare Border is full of dangers and the vision is obstructed. The usual tactical gestures are no longer useful here. In desperation, He Qi can only use sound as a primitive way of communication.
However, before entering the Dire border, they had already prepared many backup plans, so there was no need for too much communication at this moment.
A warrior raised his hand and injected soul energy into the dim light crystal in his hand. Suddenly, a light spread out in all directions. He Qi glanced around and found no danger.
The light only lasted a short time before the warriors retracted it. After all, based on the experience of the previous project, turning on the light within the Dire's borders was practically tantamount to seeking death.
Therefore, they only planned to open the ghostly light crystal at the beginning to confirm the surrounding environment, and then go through the rest of the way in the dark.
While He Qi was observing his surroundings, the four warriors had each taken out a soul card, activated it, and began to inject soul energy into it.
Suddenly, two light explosion barriers rose from the ground. In addition, a light spear and a light ball also appeared out of thin air.
These are naturally the other two soul cards in the Light and Shadow Sacrifice deck - Light and Shadow Sacrifice Spear and Glowing Sphere.
As soon as the Light Sacrifice Detonation Barrier appeared, it was distorted by the surrounding darkness. As a result, the faces of the two warriors who activated this soul card also looked a little ugly. Obviously, the process of injecting soul energy was not easy.
He Qi frowned slightly.
The dark energy in the Dire Border is too strong. Although this makes it very convenient for them to use their deck, it will be very difficult to inject soul energy into the light soul card in the Dire Border without prior preparation.
When injecting soul energy, the sympathetic explosion barrier will become more and more unstable, and this process will take up a lot of mental stress on the warriors. If it is not controlled well, it will easily cause it to react prematurely with the surrounding dark energy.
Therefore, warriors must be extremely careful when injecting soul energy and cannot make any mistakes.
and……
Now it seems that there is no way to make the Sacrifice Soul Card reach the most appropriate critical value here...
Fortunately, the surroundings should be safe at the moment, and they still have time to prepare.
Before setting off, they learned that there was an exit to an alien space about two kilometers in front of the entrance. As long as they arrived there, it would mean that they had successfully passed the project.
Of course, it was obvious that this road would not be peaceful, so their plan was to charge their soul cards near the entrance and then rush over in the dark.
Fortunately, the area near this entrance seemed to be a "safe zone" left for them by the association, giving them time to prepare first.
He Qi was thinking this when his expression suddenly changed.
Wait, there's a sound!
Squeaking sounds came from all directions, approaching rapidly from far away!
Squeaking sound, is it that giant wild beast?
Without He Qi's orders, the team's formation changed automatically.
The few people who were still injecting soul energy immediately put away their soul cards, leaving only a light detonation barrier that expanded in an instant, covering the entire team.
Next second.
Snap! Snap!
A dense clashing sound echoed across the Light Detonation Barrier. To He Qi's surprise, this time it wasn't the giant wild beast that struck, but a group of small bats...
There are a huge number of these bat beasts, and each one is fearless and ruthless. Although one or two of them pose no threat, once their numbers increase, the Light Sacrifice Detonation Barrier, which is not known for its strong defense, is already on the verge of collapse.
He Qi frowned.
There are too many.
"Turn on the light."
"yes!"
The dim light crystal was activated, and a highly penetrating light spread out in all directions. After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Crowded!
The figures of bat wild beasts almost filled the entire space. There was no end in sight at a glance, and new wild beasts kept rushing towards them. The dense light and shadows even made people feel suffocated.
No, I can't stay here long!
He Qi made a decision immediately.
"Prepare to break out!"
At the command, everyone responded immediately.
Each of them took out a soul card, but nothing happened after activation.
Only the soul card in He Qi's hand shone brightly, and after breaking, it quickly sank into the ground, drawing a strange pattern on the earth.
The March of Light!
A faint connection seemed to connect them through the soul cards in their hands, and then He Qi took a step forward and ran, and the strange patterns on the ground followed closely behind.
Just then—
boom!
The Light Sacrifice Detonation Barrier was instantly detonated, and a gray light and shadow expanded while absorbing the dark power nearby. In just a few breaths, it had swallowed up half of the wild beasts in the sky!
Before the explosion was over, a magic circle rushed out from it, led by He Qi.
With the help of the Light Marching Formation, their speed increased to a considerable value in a very short period of time. Moreover, the Light Marching Formation seemed to be constantly devouring the surrounding dark energy as it moved forward, and its speed was constantly increasing in a step-by-step manner.
However, the explosion just now only destroyed a small number of bat beasts. There were too many of them, and they quickly filled the gap with their bodies as they flapped their wings.
At this time, the second light explosion barrier was propped up.
Originally, the light detonation barrier could not be moved at will, but now, this light detonation barrier was clearly moving along with the team.
This is exactly one of the functions of the Light Marching Formation. The barrier deployed on it is equivalent to being fixed on the marching formation.
But there were too many bats. He Qi opened the Phantom Light Crystal several times, but he couldn't see any signs of the herd dispersing.
Helplessly, they could only maintain the self-destruction barrier and detonate it immediately when the attack was about to reach them, buying them time to advance.
boom!
The gray light and shadow spread out in an instant, taking away the lives of countless bats and wild beasts. Then, a magic circle rushed out of the light and shadow and moved forward rapidly.
"Hmm?" He Qi frowned slightly, "Is the sound different?"
Although the only sounds that kept coming from all around were squeaking, he still felt a pang of excitement in his heart.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, He Qi's face changed and he said quickly: "Open the barrier!"
It's too late.
A thick leg dropped from the sky and slammed onto the ground with tremendous force. A warrior was unable to dodge and his duel shield was directly shattered, sending him out on the spot.
Look at the densely packed mouths on these limbs, aren’t they their “old friends”?
In the darkness, a mass of twisted, thick limbs crawled out ferociously. It retracted its limbs and wanted to attack again, but a new suicide bomb barrier had already been erected.
boom!
The barrier exploded the moment it opened. Although it was detonated in a hurry, its power should not be underestimated. The giant beast's limb was swallowed up by the explosion on the spot!
Squeak! Squeak!
A large number of sounds immediately became miserable and fierce. The wild beasts felt pain and their bodies subconsciously shrank. Taking advantage of this moment, the light marching formation opened fire at full power and rushed out.
They don't have time to deal with this wild beast now.
Although this wild beast is not difficult to deal with with their deck, who knows how many dangers are waiting for them ahead. It is undoubtedly not worth wasting time on this wild beast at this time.
Moreover, after so many battles this morning, they hadn't discovered any weaknesses in this wild beast. Even if they could win now, they would have to pay a certain price... Fortunately, its speed was not too fast, so they could just shake it off.
However, there is also good news. After the appearance of this wild beast, the number of bat beasts seems to have decreased a lot, which has reduced their pressure.
"Prepare the Light Sacrifice Spear, be alert to the surroundings, and take action immediately if you find anything wrong!" He Qi said.
Since this giant wild beast has appeared, the wild beast that can become invisible should also be nearby.
This group of old six is difficult to detect and has extremely high attack power, making it a very difficult unit to deal with.
Fortunately, they tend to be soft-hearted and afraid of hardship. As long as you remain vigilant, they will most likely not dare to take action.
Squeak! Squeak!
The angry roars of the giant wild beasts were getting farther and farther away from He Qi, and as a result, the roars of the bat wild beasts seemed to become much thinner.
But everyone did not relax their vigilance and just kept moving forward.
This time, the scene seemed to be in a valley, with uneven ground, and if they were not careful, they would easily trip over something. However, everyone in the team was a well-trained warrior, so even with only the light of the Light Marching Formation, they did not encounter much hindrance in running across such terrain.
suddenly--
A shadow beside the barrier seemed to move, and something was moving forward in the darkness!
The movement was inconspicuous, but everyone was on high alert at the moment, so it was discovered at the first sight.
A warrior's expression froze, and the soul card he had been holding in his hand was immediately activated. A spear made of light shot straight out, piercing through the shadow in the blink of an eye!
boom!
The spear exploded immediately after it pierced into the darkness, and a ball of gray light and shadow that was much smaller but more condensed exploded in the depths of the darkness!
very good.
He Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment.
The sympathetic explosion barrier on the side suddenly formed a huge arc inward, and then, as if a bubble burst, the sympathetic explosion barrier exploded with a "pop" sound, and a black shadow shot straight in!
Bang!
A black shadow plunged into the ground, and a soldier's figure disappeared on the spot.
After just one encounter, the duel shield on the warrior's body was pierced through on the spot!
He Qi's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to look, only to see a pitch-black spear inserted into the ground, which was now turning into a puff of black smoke and slowly dissipating.
Ranged attack?
"Someone's attacking, turn on the lights!"
I really didn't expect that I would be stuck in this place (covering my face), let me sort it out first...
