Why...?
boom!!!
The ethereal fluid condensed faster than expected! A powerful shockwave from the purple center swept towards them, instantly blowing away the surrounding trees and rocks, and the intense flames made the energy restless.
Thanks to Bu Xiaosai's timely warning, they finally reached the bottom of a slope. Just as everyone was down, the flames surged over their heads!
"It's not over yet! Since we can't run away, let's dig down!"
Bu Xiaosai immediately ordered everyone to dig downwards at a 45-degree angle. The purple storm continued and destroyed the cover behind them. With everyone working together to dig deeper, they finally managed to escape from the mad destruction.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally dug through the ground. Xiao Dai cautiously extended his shield first, and then poked his little head out.
The purple light in the distance was still there, but the purple mist around them was gradually dissipating. There was still a burnt smell in the air, but it had faded considerably. The sudden crisis had come to a temporary end.
"What exactly is that thing?"
Chang Shan was panting heavily, his voice filled with a mixture of relief and fear at surviving the ordeal.
Bu Xiaosai did not answer. His gaze was fixed on the stronghold that had been reduced to ruins. This sudden ambush was by no means accidental, and the void flow that was triggered was even more so. After all, they had personally experienced it not long ago!
Dark Scythe!
Damn it, they're tracking us.
Why was there such a crisis on the pre-arranged site? And what's wrong with the instructors?
We must contact the other instructors immediately, we must…”
Chang Shan, calm down!
The other side is very likely trying to hack into our emergency communication channel; otherwise, why hasn't the instructor been using it? I can only think of two things.
One was that all the instructors were captured in an instant, and the other was that the instructors collectively entered an anomaly point!
There are only two situations in which we might be unable to contact them.
However, the absence of any remaining personnel at the stronghold raised new possibilities. One possibility was that they left behind information that was then erased by the enemy secretly in control. Another possibility was that the incident happened so suddenly that they were forced to leave before they could make any arrangements.
We need to head west; that's Instructor Lü Yao's base. They're progressing slower than us. Although we don't have their radio channel, judging by how high the sun is now, we should be able to reach them by moonrise.
Bu Xiaosai stopped Chang Shan, and everyone took one last look at the still expanding void fluid before gritting their teeth and quickly retreating westward.
Shortly after they left, a group of people appeared nearby, led by Blood Serpent and Phantom Wing.
"Wow! This is quite a scene. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was Dark Scythe who put on this. By the way, Blood Serpent, when did you get your hands on this thing?"
Standing on high, Phantom Wing looked at the still active Void Fluid in the distance and cried out in surprise.
"......"
The blood snake fell silent.
"Tch, fine, don't tell me then. It just seems your plan failed; we didn't detect their communication channel."
"......."
"Huh? Why aren't you saying anything? Don't worry, I've messed up so many times, but the leader has such a good temper, he won't do anything to you, right?"
Hearing Phantom Wing's words of comfort, Blood Serpent frowned deeply.
"Is it because I deliberately delayed the outbreak of the illusory fluid? I thought it would be the two instructor teams from the nearby area that came here, but it turned out to be them."
Didn't you set up quite a few D-level anomalies along the way, forcibly upgrading them to B-level? How come they haven't encountered a single one?
"Huh? How could we not have encountered them? Three of them have already gone dark, and could they be an ordinary squad? Besides, we're not from Dark Scythe. Maintaining the advancement of B-level anomalies depends entirely on luck. Maybe it will revert back as soon as I leave?"
The Phantom Wings raised a sign of opposition, but neither the D-level nor the B-level anomalies could trap the F4 squad and the Constant Flash in front of them.
According to the original plan, they were supposed to attack the Zero Zone instructors who were building their base, giving them some clues about the Void Fluid that Blood Serpent had planted beforehand.
That's why the virtual fluid detonated so quickly, because it was planted early this morning.
However, an unexpected incident still occurred. It seemed that Miss Nekomata had accidentally triggered the anomaly point teleportation left by Dark Scythe, which caused the instructors to be teleported away before they could even leave a word.
Why is the cat in the instructors' group again this time?
This severely disrupted their plans. The clues obtained by Lü Yao and Zhang Yunlei's teams in Haichui Land were all directed towards Dark Scythe in recent days, thanks to the efforts of their Ordinary Organization.
However, to form a complete chain of evidence, Lin Cuidi needed to integrate the three teams. But then, things took an unexpected turn and everyone disappeared!
And no one could stop the flow of the illusory energy. After Liu Lang and his group arrived, they finally detected the supernatural energy and it finally erupted completely.
The ordinary organization nearby could naturally control the traps they had set, but Blood Serpent thought of using the students' communication channels to access the network of this military region. They didn't even need to speak; they could simply hide their identities and silently gather intelligence.
Well... of course, there's also Phantom Wing, since he can mimic everyone's voice and convey crucial information appropriately... it's not out of the question, is it?
