As soon as he finished speaking, three ghostly gray figures suddenly darted out from the gaps in the steel bars!
They are much smaller than ordinary fog ghosts, only half the height of a human, but their limbs are unusually long and their bodies are covered with fine gray scales.
Its fingers and toes have evolved into sharp claws, and its head is long and narrow with no eyes, only two huge nostrils that are constantly twitching!
"It's a sniffer!" Zhao Chun exclaimed.
The base has records showing that this is a variant of the special Mist Ghosts, specifically designed for tracking and stealthy assassination! They are extremely sensitive to the scent of living beings!
"Pfft!"
"Ugh!"
Before a soldier on guard duty could even turn his gun around, his throat was instantly pierced by the sharp claws of a sniffing predator! Blood spurted out!
Another sniffer, like a gecko, climbed down the support pillar, its target being Xiao Liu, who was connecting the wiring!
"Quick, stop it!" Zhao Chun's eyes widened in fury as he raised his gun and fired! But the sniffer was too fast; the bullet only grazed its scales, sending sparks flying!
A close call!
A streak of dark lightning, as thick as a chopstick, shot out without warning from the shadows beside Xiao Liu's feet! It was faster than a sniffing hunter!
"puff!"
With a slight piercing sound, the sniffer that pounced on Xiao Liu suddenly froze in mid-air. A small blood hole between its eyebrows was gushing out a grayish-black viscous liquid.
Amo's small body coiled around the sniffer's neck, its cold, vertical pupils devoid of emotion, its forked tongue flicking slightly.
"Hiss!" The other two sniffers hissed angrily upon seeing this, abandoned their attack, and pounced on Amo at the same time!
"Bang bang bang!" Zhao Chun and the other soldiers finally caught up with the firepower, and the dense bullets riddled one of the sniffers with holes in mid-air!
As for Amo, facing the last sniffer that pounced on him, his small body displayed amazing flexibility and strength!
Like a boneless rope, it instantly wraps around the hunter's arm, flashes up the arm to the shoulder, and then pulls hard!
"Crack!" A sickening sound of bone breaking! The sniffer's long neck was snapped in two! The slender snake tail, like a steel whip, lashed fiercely at its massive nostrils, causing them to collapse!
The sniffer couldn't even scream before collapsing to the ground.
But it's not over yet.
These few mist demons ahead are just scouting ahead; more threats are on the horizon.
"Quick! We've been exposed! Xiao Liu, speed up!" Zhao Chun roared, sweat mixed with blood dripping from his forehead.
Although the commotion was brief, it couldn't possibly escape the notice of the other Mist Demons in the silent ruins.
Xiao Liu's hands were trembling with nervousness, but his movements were swift and steady as he connected the last two wires. The indicator light turned from red to green!
"It's done! All the 'zero explosives' have been installed! They can be detonated at any time!" Xiao Liu's voice trembled with relief and excitement.
"Withdraw! Follow the original route! Quickly!" Zhao Chun gave the order immediately without any hesitation.
Like an arrow released from a bow, the demolition team, using the ruins as cover, frantically ran towards the designated safe assembly point on the outer perimeter! Behind them, the terrifying roars of a large number of fog demons, alerted and gathering, could be heard from the thick fog!
The explosives they planted were incredibly powerful; if detonated here, not only the Fog Ghosts but also the Fog Ghosts themselves would be blown into the air.
Therefore, only by safely evacuating the mother nest will everyone have a chance of survival.
"Give me the detonator!" Zhao Chun shouted as he ran, taking a red-glowing metal box from the person next to him. It had only one conspicuous black button on it.
He gripped it tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.
'Don't rush, don't rush.' This thing needs to be moved far enough away and the signal needs to be stable before it can be started.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a thick beam of corrosive energy grazed Zhao Chun's head, blasting down half of the crumbling wall next to him and blocking the path ahead.
It's a multi-headed jetpack that's been chasing after us!
"Cover the captain!" the soldiers roared, turning and opening fire. The bullets struck the thick protective haze of the multi-headed sprayer with little effect.
"boom!"
Another beam of corrosive energy exploded at Zhao Chun's feet, splashing dark green venom onto his alloy protective boots, making a hissing corrosion sound and emitting pungent blue smoke.
Look closely, the demolition team is completely trapped under a section of the collapsed overpass wreckage that resembles the ribs of a giant monster!
Ahead, two armored fog demons stood like mobile fortresses, their massive bone-armored bodies sealing off the only exit. At the gaps in the ruins on either side, grey shadows flickered, and the crimson eyes of several scythe-armed killers gleamed in the thick fog like deadly will-o'-the-wisps.
Even more terrifying was what was behind them. A multi-headed jetpack, seemingly with two heads blown off and only one head remaining, was dragging its mangled body in a frenzied pursuit. The remaining head was constantly gathering a blinding red light!
"Damn it! We're surrounded!" a soldier roared in despair. His assault rifle was already out of bullets, and he could only draw his bayonet and put up a last stand.
"Awooo—!"
Just then, Thunder Wolf suddenly leaped out to block the front of the group, letting out a menacing growl at the approaching Armored Mist Demons. Its claws scratched the ground restlessly, digging deep trenches.
The dark blue fox nimbly leaped around Zhao Chun and the others, constantly spitting foxfire in an attempt to slow down the pursuit of the multi-headed attackers behind them. Unfortunately, there were too many fog ghosts; for every one killed, another would appear.
Upon seeing this, the red fox's fur stood on end, like a bursting blue pom-pom, and its vertical pupils were filled with anxiety.
Just then—
"hiss--!"
A chilling sound suddenly erupted from the shadows beside Zhao Chun and the others! Accompanying it was the sound of heavy objects being crushed.
Everyone turned around in shock!
To everyone's astonishment, the tiny, inconspicuous black snake that was originally only the thickness of a chopstick was now expanding wildly as if it were being inflated!
The scales scraped against the ground, producing a sickening metallic scraping sound! In an instant, a gigantic black python, as thick as a bucket and over five meters long, appeared before them!
At this moment, like a ferocious creature from mythology, it proudly arched its upper body, its cold vertical pupils like two ghostly flames, locking onto the armored mist demon in front of it!
Holy crap!
"This...this is that little snake from before?!"
Even seasoned soldiers were terrified by this sudden change, turning pale and instinctively taking a half-step back.
Zhao Chun's one eye suddenly widened, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat!
He knew those people were peculiar, but he still underestimated them. He had only thought of them as somewhat intelligent pets; who knew their true forms would be so terrifying!
Amo completely ignored everyone's shock!
Its massive body displayed a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size! Like a black dragon emerging from the abyss, it crashed into the two armored fog demons blocking the way with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
