The next day, as dawn broke, the east began to lighten with a pale, fish-belly white.
A strong wind blew all night, and suddenly a road stretched out before everyone's eyes, extending into the distance.
Everyone was overjoyed, and several off-road vehicles roared off into the distance.
As they ventured deeper into the rift valley, the view began to darken as towering sand dunes and mountains obscured their view.
The road through the rift valley was rugged and difficult to drive, so the guide took over driving the car that Chu Liyue was in.
After driving for about two or three hours, the guide stepped on the brakes and the car came to a stop.
He turned to look at Chu Liyue and the others, and pointed to the road ahead through the car window: "Ladies, follow this road, and you will find the Three Lives Flower in twenty minutes."
"It's not convenient for me to go any further. We'll meet again sometime."
After saying that, he got out of the car, and Shi Feng took over driving.
The road was rugged, and the car often bumped along. The entire rift valley was filled with a chilling stillness.
Just as the car climbed over a small hill and began to bounce, the atmosphere suddenly changed!
One shell after another, tearing through the air with a deafening roar, hurtled straight toward the off-road vehicle from every angle.
Like a meteorite falling, it was terrifying and horrifying.
The sunroof on the car roof opened almost simultaneously, and Chu Liyue's figure instantly emerged, her lightsaber spinning in her palm.
The pale blue light blade shot out like a boomerang, and the incoming cannonball exploded in mid-air the moment it made contact with the light blade.
The explosion was deafening.
A fierce cloud of fire, accompanied by a violent shockwave, swept outwards, blasting huge craters into the surrounding sand dunes.
Amidst howling winds, dust billowed into the air, obscuring visibility.
Shi Feng slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop.
"Get out of the car!" Chu Liyue's icy voice rang out.
The men instantly opened the car doors, their mouths and noses hidden in their high collars, their eyes cold and wary as they looked around.
As the smoke and dust cleared, tall, muscular figures emerged from the sand dunes not far away.
They were muscular, carrying sniper rifles, rocket launchers, and even several small tanks, their gun ports pointed directly at the crowd.
Their appearance had a strong Western Regions characteristic; people from the Western Regions, appearing here in large groups, were clearly a large local herb-gathering group.
"There are still three days until the Three-Life Flower blooms, they are quite vigilant."
Looking at the rustic figures, Shi Feng was astonished to realize that they had been waiting here so early and had even released their artificially bred ghost bears to search for clues.
These locals, however, gave them no time to react. There were no opening remarks, no conversation, and they went straight to the barrage of gunfire.
Gunfire, artillery shells, and tanks roared simultaneously, creating a deafening sound and sending plumes of smoke billowing into the air.
"Holy crap, how come these deadbeats have even less manners than Uncle Lu?"
Leng Ruxue cursed, "The sniper rifle is taller than a person, and its aura is five meters high."
A brilliant blue beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun, sweeping across the rain of shells flying through the air and destroying them with overwhelming force.
"Arrogant?"
Just as she smiled, Chu Liyue's slender figure leaped into the air.
Her waist-length hair was tied up, and her cold, sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, were fixed on the small tanks.
Its greatest threat is that if it is bombed without regard to cost, the entire valley could be filled in.
She moved with lightning speed, leaping up and landing steadily on the target sand dune.
The people guarding the tank didn't even see how she got on; blood from her neck had already splattered several meters away.
The top cover of the tank was lifted, and a head popped out before she stepped on it.
The quantum light blade, carrying a scorching temperature, distorted and tore the air apart, slicing the iron tank in half like paper.
"Boss is so handsome!"
Leng Ruxue's eyes sparkled, but when she met the approaching Western Region man, she immediately changed her expression like a Sichuan opera performer: "Go to hell, trash!"
She held a sniper rifle, her long curly hair flying, as several men's heads exploded like flowers, splattering blood all over her face.
Her finger remained firmly on the trigger, but she spat out, "A bunch of scum, thinking you can bully me just because I'm pretty and quiet?"
"Don't forget to be more discerning in your next life."
Shi Feng, who was protecting the silver box in his arms, wiped the sweat from his forehead and twitched his lips slightly. "So fierce!"
"Useless grandpa, you can't help, so can you at least stop distracting me?"
"Haven't you ever seen a girl as quiet as me?"
Noticing Shi Feng's gaze, Leng Ruxue stepped on the stone and let out a low growl.
Shi Feng: ...
Under the cover of Leng Ruxue's dense artillery fire, Lin Qingyi had already swiftly ascended the sand dune along the slope.
She was dressed in black casual clothes, her eyes were cold and murderous, and with a flick of her wrist, a short blade was placed against her palm.
The men standing on the sand dunes were doing their best to deal with Leng Ruxue's artillery fire. The sniper rifle in Leng Ruxue's hand was firing incredibly powerful bullets. In comparison, the rifles and cannons in their hands were no different from children's toys.
Suddenly, a blur flashed before my eyes, followed by a chill on my neck. Before I could react, my body was already limp and I fell backward.
Not far away, the others immediately reacted, pointing several long guns at Lin Qingyi, and bullets flew out.
Lin Qingyi's slender waist was as supple as bamboo; she bent backward at a ninety-degree angle and nimbly dodged several flying bullets.
With a swift movement, he leaped out and slashed a man's neck with a single stroke. Then, he quickly turned to the side and braced himself against the man's body to prevent him from falling.
The next second, the man who was blocking her way was riddled with bullets.
Taking advantage of the gap, she darted out like a bird, weaving, leaping, and dodging, leaving corpses scattered everywhere she went.
Just as Shi Feng was marveling at how none of the three women were weaklings, Chu Liyue leaped up and landed steadily in front of him.
Her figure was elegant and graceful, her cold and beautiful eyes sharp and piercing. She said in a cold voice, "Give me the test solution and cover for me. I'm going to get the medicine."
After saying that, he took the box from Shi Feng and rushed into the depths of the rift valley.
Seeing this, Shi Feng picked up a sniper rifle from the ground and, together with Leng Ruxue, turned the guns around to provide cover fire for Chu Liyue as she ventured deeper into the rift valley.
Seeing this, the herb gatherers who were lying in ambush intensified their firepower. Amidst the hail of bullets, Leng Ruxue and Shi Feng simultaneously turned to the side, using a large rock in front of them as cover to avoid the artillery fire.
Leng Ruxue peeked out and saw many herb gatherers chasing after Chu Liyue. She then took out several silver spheres from the pocket of her work pants.
"Useless grandpa, I'll cover you and blow these scumbags to bits!"
Shi Feng's face twitched at the way he was addressed, but he still took the ball and threw it accurately forward.
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and amidst the deafening explosions, the entire valley shook violently.
Shi Feng, hiding behind a rock, was startled. He never expected the small ball in his hand to be so powerful.
Leng Ruxue winked at him and smiled: "Anything produced by Sister Xue is guaranteed to be of the highest quality. It's a time-honored brand in China, and we've been professional at taking down scumbags for a hundred years."
While Shi Feng's expression remained blank, Leng Ruxue peeked out again.
In her sight, Chu Liyue had already taken advantage of the sandstorm to leap into the depths of the valley.
