"Boss, be careful!" Lao Lu threw Mou Xuan to the ground. A huge rock whizzed past their heads and hit the ground, causing gravel to fly everywhere.
"Thanks, Lao Lu!" Mou Xuan dusted himself off and calmed himself down.
He looked up at the center of the energy fluctuations and saw a bright light there. Visible energy ripples were spreading in all directions at an astonishing speed.
"Is this...is this a nuclear explosion site?!" The voices of the remaining expedition members were filled with tears.
Zou the destroyer seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. He didn't care about pretending anymore and tried to escape from the scene by crawling.
"Want to run? Too late!" Mu Xuan sneered, rushed to him, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up like a chicken.
"Let...let me go! You...you are dead! This...this place is going to collapse!" Zou the Destroyer was so scared that he shouted incoherently.
Mou Xuan ignored his nonsense. He stared at the center of the energy fluctuations, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in everyone's mind:
"Interesting... There are humans who dare to set foot here..."
Mou Xuan's heart shuddered. The voice seemed to come from another world, full of weirdness and majesty.
He turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, pay attention, this place is not simple, stay alert!"
However, in this tense atmosphere, the figures of leaders of many other forces were looming in the shadows in the distance.
He had only heard that the alliance was investigating energy fluctuations, and out of curiosity, he sent a few people to investigate.
But when he saw the radiant energy center with his own eyes, he immediately realized that this could be a huge opportunity.
"Hmph, those guys in the alliance, do they think they are the only ones who are capable? This time I am going to grab this energy resource!" Chief Xu sneered and ordered his men to assemble quickly and prepare to attack the alliance investigation team.
Yu expedition members and Lu Alliance guards immediately felt threatened by each other.
Although they fought bravely, they gradually fell into a passive position due to the large number of enemies.
Rocks, mud, and dust were flying in the air, and the sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard in my ears, as if the whole world was shaking.
"Boss, what should we do?" the Lu Alliance guard asked anxiously.
Mou Xuan calmly observed his surroundings and quickly made a plan.
"Lao Lu, Yu, the expedition team, you listen to my orders. We will pretend to retreat and lead them to the narrow cave entrance. The terrain there is steep and suitable for setting a trap."
The Yu expedition members and the Lu Alliance guards looked at each other, and although they were a little worried, they decided to trust Mou Xuan's judgment.
They began to pretend to be defeated, retreating step by step to lure the enemy into pursuit.
The other party fell into the trap as expected. As they pressed forward step by step, they gradually entered the trap area set by Mou Xuan.
"Now!" Mou Xuan gave an order, and the alliance members hidden on both sides immediately activated the preset mechanism.
Huge rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain, completely blocking the enemy's way.
Chief Xu's men suddenly became chaotic and fled in all directions, but it was too late.
"I don't believe you can escape!" Mou Xuan sneered and led the team to counterattack quickly.
In the narrow space, the alliance members took advantage of the terrain and caught the enemy off guard.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chief Xu wanted to command his men to break out, but they were already surrounded and had nowhere to escape.
At this moment, Qin Energy Research Expert rushed out from the side and shouted excitedly: "Boss, there is a new discovery! I found that the source of this energy fluctuation is not as simple as we thought, it may be related to some unknown substance!"
After hearing this, Mou Xuan's eyes lit up and he immediately realized that this might be an important clue.
"Expert Qin, please continue your research. Let's deal with the enemy in front of us first!"
The battle continues, but the morale of the Alliance team is high again.
Boss Xu's men were gradually defeated one by one and finally lost.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Chief Xu could only flee in a panic, leaving behind a mess.
However, just as everyone was excited about the new discovery, Mou Xuan suddenly stopped and stared at the radiant energy center with a frown.
He had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, as if there was a bigger secret hidden behind this.
"Wow, this energy fluctuation is even stronger than the WiFi signal of my neighbor Lao Wang's house!" An expedition member couldn't help but complain while dodging flying rocks.
In the air filled with smoke, he even smelled the scent of barbecue. Of course, it was not real barbecue, but the burnt smell emitted by the unlucky people affected by the energy wave.
"Shut up and pay attention!" Lao Lu slapped him on the back of the head, "Now is not the time to joke!"
Just as everyone in the alliance was cheering for Expert Qin's discovery, the ground in the distance began to shake, as if some huge monster was approaching.
The ground was shaking faster and faster, and with greater and greater amplitude, like a giant heart beating violently, making people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Boss, look!" Chen Yao pointed at the dust rising in the distance, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.
Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes and through the dense dust, he saw flags fluttering in the wind. The flags were embroidered with ferocious animal heads. Those were the symbols of the leaders of other forces!
"Damn it, this old guy actually dares to come!" Mou Xuan gritted his teeth and tightened the weapon in his hand.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air and a war was about to break out.
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from a communicator: "Report to the boss! The number of enemies... the number of enemies..." The voice stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a sharp sound of electricity.
Mou Xuan raised his head suddenly, his expression becoming extremely solemn, "Not good..."
