Chapter 360: Spies Killing Each Other
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The addition of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team made Feng Qi smell something unusual.
He knew very well who was behind this faction.
Moreover, the initiator of the mission, Li Duo, had said that 12 combat teams, including Dawn, would be on this mission.
They had not received any relevant notice in advance about the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team that suddenly joined.
However, Wang Yi, who led the convoy, said that the Wolf-loving Battle Group was a part of the list, making him suspect that there was something wrong with Wang Yi as well.
Even though she had many merits and contributions,
he even guessed that there were other hidden forces lurking in the escort team.
The various factions had their own ulterior motives. Clearly, they were all here for the Blood Stone.
He did not know which direction the situation would develop in, but if possible, he still wanted to send the blood stone into Former Days City.
This way, the Scarlet Research Institute could also learn some of the secrets of the blood stone through cooperating with Former Days Research Institute.
This intelligence might be able to uncover the secret of the blue-skinned assassins.
The sky gradually brightened, and nothing unexpected occurred during a few hours of journey.
On both sides of the main road leading to the Former Days City was a desert. On the left, it was desolate, and there were cactuses and other green plants along the way.
On the right was a beach that stretched for an unknown number of miles. At the end was the blue sea, and the sun rose from the very end of the sea.
The empty environment allowed one to see very far. It was very easy to notice any movement.
This was also the reason why the main road was chosen.
Before the start of this escort mission, there was a clear rule that there would be no trips during the entire trip. Eating, drinking, and nature’s calls would be resolved in the vehicles to minimize risks.
Feng Qi turned to his right. Qin Shikong was sitting on the top of a truck in the distance and looking at him.
They met eyes and smiled, then both cast their gazes in the direction of their respective watch.
It was another two-hour journey, and nothing abnormal happened during this period. At this moment, the vehicles arrived in front of the “supply bridge”.
The convoy did not stop. After converging, three vehicles drove onto the bridge side by side.
Below the bridge was a turbulent yellow river that flowed straight east into the sea.
Feng Qi had looked up the bridge when he learned the route.
The full name of the bridge was Former Days Supply Bridge. It was 1,459 meters long and 45 meters wide and was specially built after planning the location of the supply area. It was built on land to establish a main road connecting to the supply area to better transport construction materials and supplies to the supply area.
Back then, there was no airport in the supply area by the sea. This main road was very useful in the early stages of construction.
As the convoy drove onto the bridge, Feng Qi became vigilant.
If there was one spot that was the most convenient place to attack along the way, it would be the supply bridge.
On the way here, the terrain was wide, and anywhere could be an escape route.
But on the bridge, there were only two choices.
If any domain faction knew about this escort mission, lying in ambush here in advance was clearly a good choice.
“Yue, use your mind eye to see what’s going on under the bridge.”
Hearing this, Lu Yue immediately nodded.
As Jian Lan trembled, an eye’ appeared on his forehead.
The road on the bridge gradually blurred, and he saw the scene below the bridge.
He continued to look ahead and immediately realized that a large number of humanoid figures were hanging upside down in the middle of the bridge with something that looked like a rope.
“There’s an ambush under the bridge 200 meters ahead!”
After hearing Lu Yue’s answer, Feng Qi immediately picked up his communicator and prepared to report the situation.
However, before he could speak, a rough voice sounded from the communicator.
“Attention, brothers. I’m Lin Shu, the person-in-charge of the Green Mountain Domain Combat Team. I sensed a large number of life fluctuations about 200 meters in front of the convoy. Prepare for battle!”
Hearing that someone else was giving a warning in advance, Feng Qi put down his communicator and shouted,
“Everyone, get out of the car and prepare for battle!”
As he gave the order, the shouts of the persons-in-charge of the various combat teams sounded nearby.
The well-trained warriors of the Dawn Domain Combat Team jumped off the trucks and began to run around it.
As cultivators, they easily matched the speed of the truck.
A distance of 200 meters was very short. When they approached the warning position, countless steel cables pierced through the road and nailed to the nearby trucks, dragging several trucks to the ground.
Then, a large number of pitch-black humanoid figures with black scales on their bodies passed through the penetrated surface to reach bridge. Then, they used the hooks to swing towards the center of the convoy.
Their goal was very clear. It was the miracle blood stone.
At this moment, Wang Yi’s voice sounded.
“Person-in-charge of each combat team, deal with the enemies in your respective areas. I’ll protect the blood stone. There’s no need for support for the time being.”
The warriors’ counterattack soon began.
Facing the black domain creatures coming from under the bridge and on both sides, they moved in small groups of three to five people and began to kill them one by one.
After a short exchange, it could be seen that these black humanoid domain creatures were not strong. The warriors could easily deal with them.
A large number of black figures were killed in a short period of time.
Feng Qi could not help but frown when he saw this.
Since this domain faction chose to ambush the route that the convoy had to pass through and knew in advance that the blood stone would be sent to the Former Days City at this point, it meant that this faction was most likely a domain faction lurking in human society.
He had interacted with many hidden factions in various domains.
Therefore, he knew very well how cunning these guys were. Such an act was that was full of flaws and almost suicidal was definitely not something a domain hidden faction would do..
