Chapter 695 An Ambush
Silver Tiger's knuckles, gripping the hilt of the knife, turned white and made a cracking sound.
Elder Xue?
He forced out those three words through gritted teeth, "Didn't he already escape?"
"He's back..."
Alan cried, his body trembling violently with fear, “He brought a lot of outsiders. Those people weren’t like ordinary nomadic orcs. They wore strange, hard-shelled clothes, and their weapons could breathe fire and shoot poisoned needles. The chieftain… the chieftain was captured by them while covering our retreat.”
Yueqing paused for a moment while stitching up another wounded soldier.
Hard-shell clothing? Fire-breathing weapons?
She remembered the chip she had seen in the underground cave, numbered Exp-709.
There's also the mechanical structure inside the skeletal lizard's head.
This is not a simple Clash of Clans. This is a game of overwhelming force.
Elder Xue is probably colluding with that mysterious force that possesses a highly advanced civilization.
"Where is Chief Hufeng now?" Yueqing asked calmly.
"They were...dragged to the water dungeon in the back mountain."
An old orc with a broken arm chimed in through gritted teeth, "Elder Xue said that the clan leader must witness the Tiger Clan's annihilation and that he must interrogate him about the whereabouts of some sacred artifact."
"A sacred object?" Silver Tiger frowned. He had lived in the Tiger Clan for so many years and had never heard of any sacred object.
"Whatever it is, the fact that they haven't killed the clan leader yet means that the clan leader still has value to them."
Yueqing stood up and wiped the blood from her hands. "This is the opportunity."
Just then, a piercing alarm sounded in Yueqing's mind.
[WARNING: High concentration of neurotoxin detected approaching! 300 meters away! 200 meters away!]
Yueqing's expression changed drastically.
"Everyone, get down!" she shouted sternly.
Almost simultaneously, several whooshing sounds rang out.
Several long, green-glowing nails shot out from the darkness and embedded themselves deeply into the stone pillars of the altar.
If someone had been standing there, their throat would have been pierced by now.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect you to be back so soon? I thought you were all dead underground."
A sinister laugh came from behind the smoke.
A hunched figure slowly walked out.
He was wearing a black combat uniform that was clearly out of step with the times; although it was somewhat worn, its high-quality material was still evident.
His face was covered by a half-metal mask, concealing the burn marks he had suffered, revealing only a pair of murky and malevolent eyes.
Elder Xue.
Behind him stood a dozen fully armed hyena beastmen, as well as three strangers dressed in the same black combat uniforms and holding strange firearms.
"Silver Tiger, it's been a long time."
Elder Xue stroked the metal mask on his face, his voice filled with a perverse pleasure, "How is it? Do you like this gift I gave you? Is this fire burning bright enough?"
Silver Tiger remained silent. He slowly raised his battle sword, the tip pointing directly at Elder Xue's brow.
His aura changed at that moment.
If he was an enraged beast just now, then he is now a demon from hell.
There was no roaring, no shouting.
There was only pure, intense, and suffocating killing intent.
"Where is Chi Yun?" Silver Tiger asked coldly.
"That idiot?"
Elder Xue scoffed, "She's still dreaming of becoming the clan chief's wife. But now that you're back, she'll probably be here to die soon."
Elder Xue waved his hand, and the three men in black behind him raised their weapons.
"Kill them all. Leave no one alive except the female."
Elder Xue pointed at Yueqing, a glint of greed in her eyes, "That female knows medicine, and the higher-ups specifically requested that she be alive."
Yue Qing sneered and secretly reached for a device at her waist.
Want to capture him alive? We'll see if you have the ability.
Chapter 28 Miracles in the Ruins
The black-clad man's weapon hummed, and a ghostly blue light gathered at the muzzle.
That's not a gunpowder weapon, it's an energy gun.
"Scatter!" Silver Tiger shouted, his body transforming into a blur as he rushed out.
Instead of retreating, he charged towards Elder Xue, facing the muzzle of the gun.
His speed was astonishing, leaving a silver trail in the air.
"You're asking for it!" A man in black pulled the trigger.
The blue beam grazed Silver Tiger's shoulder and struck the stone wall behind him.
With a loud bang, the hard granite was blasted open like tofu, leaving a large crater and sending debris flying everywhere.
The survivors hiding behind the altar screamed in terror.
This power was beyond their comprehension; in their eyes, it was nothing short of divine punishment.
However, the silver tiger was not deterred.
He twisted his body forcefully in mid-air to avoid the second beam of light, and then brought down his battle sword with the force of a thunderbolt.
clang!
The man in black raised his gun to block.
The gun, made of special alloy, was slashed open by this one blow, and the huge impact caused the man in black to buckle at the knees and fall to the ground.
Meanwhile, Yueqing took action.
She did not hide behind the male like a traditional female.
She pulled out two round metal balls from her spatial storage; they were "high-intensity stun grenades" from the system's shop.
"Close your eyes!"
Yueqing shouted and slammed the metal ball hard into the area where the enemy was densely packed.
Boom! Boom!
Two blinding white lights exploded in the darkness, accompanied by a huge bang.
Although the three men in black were wearing goggles, they were still momentarily stunned by the sudden bright light.
As for the hyena-like beastmen, they screamed and covered their eyes, rolling on the ground in agony.
"Now!"
Yueqing's scalpel transformed into a throwing knife, precisely piercing the neck of a hyena beastman who was attempting to ambush Silver Tiger.
Silver Tiger seized the opportunity and swept his battle blade horizontally.
A head flew off. The man in black kneeling on the ground didn't even have time to scream before his head was severed from his body.
Blood splattered onto Elder Xue's metal mask. His smug expression froze instantly, and the greed in his eyes turned into terror.
"What kind of sorcery is this?!" Elder Xue exclaimed in shock, retreating repeatedly.
He thought Yueqing was just an ordinary female who knew a little about medicine, so how could she have such a terrifying weapon?
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Elder Xue no longer cared about the mission at this moment and turned to run into the darkness.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining two men in black also began to shoot and retreat.
Just as Yin Hu was about to give chase, Yue Qing stopped him.
"Don't pursue! Don't chase a cornered enemy; be careful of an ambush!"
"Yueqing shouted. She glanced at the black-clad corpse on the ground, "And we need this sample."
Silver Tiger stopped in his tracks, his chest heaving violently.
He slammed the knife into the ground, staring at the direction Elder Xue had disappeared, his killing intent undiminished.
The crisis has been temporarily averted.
Yueqing walked to the dead man in black and squatted down to examine him.
She tore open the other person's combat uniform and, sure enough, saw the same tattoo on that person's arm: Exp-709.
But that's not the main point.
The key point is that this person's skin has an abnormal grayish-brown color, and the blood flowing from his veins is not bright red, but has a strange dark green hue.
"A cyborg," Yue Qing murmured to herself.
