At this moment, Li Yu was walking at the front of the group, continuing to move forward on a large flat area.
They encountered more and more patrolling soldiers from Central Plains along the way.
These soldiers all had serious expressions and held a strange, circular tool that looked like some kind of advanced detection instrument.
They seemed to be searching for something, oblivious to the migrating crowd around them.
And so, Li Yu's team made it through most of the day without incident.
Just as they were continuing forward, the little black dog carrying Li Yu suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Sitting on Xiao Hei's back, Fu Xiyao curiously reached out and touched Xiao Hei.
However, at this moment, Xiao Hei appeared unusually restless. Its normally soft ears kept turning to the sides, as if trying to catch the slightest sound in the air.
Its nose also expanded significantly as it sniffed the surrounding scents intently.
His limbs were pounding the ground incessantly due to tension, constantly splashing water.
Li Yu immediately picked up the crossbow; he could tell at a glance that this was Xiao Hei's reaction when it encountered danger.
Ma Yuanbai's hair stood on end, and his expression changed drastically.
"Oh no! Danger!"
Almost simultaneously, all the awakened ones in the group sensed danger.
This feeling is like having thorns in your back.
Not only the Awakened Ones in the team, but also the other Awakened Ones nearby felt a strong sense of crisis at this moment.
For a moment, everyone stopped unconsciously.
All they could hear was the patter of rain.
The entire area of Awakened Ones fell into a deathly silence, their faces wary as they constantly looked around.
Fu Xiyao instantly realized that the situation was bad, and without hesitation, she activated her special ability to the fullest extent, expanding her perception range to the maximum.
"Soon, up there!" she hurriedly shouted to remind Li Yu.
Upon hearing Fu Xiyao's shout, everyone looked up at the sky.
In an instant, everyone's faces turned ashen, for they saw a missile trailing flames, hurtling downwards at an alarming speed, its target being none other than Li Yu's location.
Everyone within this area paled and panicked, desperately trying to escape.
But they were too close to Li Yu, and had almost no time to dodge.
"Damn it! The Eternal Flame Alliance is actually going to kill me too."
The captain who was following Li Yu was furious, his face turned extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but curse.
Clearly, the Eternal Flame Alliance had no intention of fulfilling its promise to him; instead, it wanted to kill him and Li Yu together.
"You son of a bitch! Eternal Flame Alliance, I'm not finished with you!"
As the squad leader roared, he rolled quickly to the ground and clutched his head tightly. At this moment, whether he would survive was entirely up to fate.
Seeing the missile hurtling down with destructive force, Li Yu didn't hesitate to quickly raise his crossbow and fire an arrow into the sky.
The armor-piercing arrow collided with the missile instantly.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and flames shot into the heavens, illuminating the entire area.
The rapidly approaching missile was detonated by an arrow, sending countless fragments flying everywhere, scattering like petals from a fairy's shower.
Flames and shockwaves raged through the air, creating a powerful storm.
Ordinary people directly below the explosion were even thrown to the ground by the blast wave. Some were thrown several meters away and crashed heavily to the ground, the aftershocks of the explosion still echoing in their ears.
"Damn, that's incredibly powerful!"
Even the usually calm Ma Yuanbai couldn't help but curse, wondering what kind of deep-seated hatred could lead someone to use such a powerful weapon.
"It's not over yet!" Li Yu shouted, but his voice was almost drowned out by the explosion.
Before the words were even finished, a shower of metallic rain began to fall from the sky.
After the missile exploded, countless fragmentation bombs plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground with a series of explosions.
In an instant, the ground below was blasted into countless holes, one after another, with flames and rain splashing everywhere, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
"Get cover!"
Ma Yuanbai loudly directed the troops, his voice trembling slightly.
Li Yu looked up and saw that there were so many fragmentation bombs falling that even he couldn't stop them all.
Fortunately, the missile was intercepted early; it did not explode directly above Li Yu and his group, and only a few fragments flew towards their location.
Seeing this, Li Yu instantly switched to a bow and arrow, took out five arrows from his quiver, and quickly drew his bow to aim at the flying fragments.
"volley!"
He suddenly released the bowstring, and five arrows shot out simultaneously like lightning, accurately intercepting several fragments flying in that direction.
Thanks to Li Yu's precise calculations, the five arrows not only successfully intercepted the first fragment but also pierced through several subsequent fragmentation bombs.
Even so, some managed to slip through the net, and a fragmentation bomb successfully landed on the edge of Li Yu's team.
"boom--"
Before the nearby refugees could react, they were instantly knocked to the ground by the powerful explosion.
The debris from the sky fell like dense, deadly raindrops across the area.
Explosions rang out continuously in the vicinity, making the entire area seem as terrifying as if the apocalypse had arrived.
The scene directly below the missile was even more horrific. Some migrating groups were suddenly struck by disaster without warning, and they were completely swallowed up by countless fragmentation bombs without even a chance to resist.
All around were screams of agony. The teams in the safe zone raised their guns and fired into the air in an attempt to stop the falling debris, but they didn't have Li Yu's accuracy at all and couldn't stop it in any way.
Only a few defensive Awakened survived; most could not withstand the fragmentation bombs falling around them.
In the end, apart from Li Yu's team suffering only minor casualties, almost the entire population in the vicinity was wiped out.
Looking around, the ground was riddled with craters, and beside the craters, there were displaced people with missing limbs screaming in agony. Blood stained the rainwater, and the scene was too gruesome to bear.
"Look, there are no bombs over there!"
Someone pointed in Li Yu's direction.
"Run that way quickly!"
People nearby had witnessed Li Yu's strength, and they rushed over as if they had grasped at a straw.
They knew that only by getting close to Li Yu's team could they possibly avoid being killed by the shrapnel.
Upon witnessing the sudden missile attack, the surviving soldiers from Central State in the area immediately reported it.
"Enemy attack! It's the Eternal Flame Alliance's cluster bombs!"
