Chapter 364: Fierce Battle in the Canyon (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On both sides were towering cliffs, and an asphalt road ran through the entire canyon in the center.
Feng Qi raised his head and looked at the cliffs on both sides. There were many pine trees growing diagonally on them. Looking at the terrain, this was another excellent ambush ground.
Domain forces only needed to occupy the high spots at the top of the cliff in advance to form a strategic advantage.
Looking around, Feng Qi could not help but be vigilant.
After the convoy continued driving for a while, the ground suddenly shook violently.
“It’s coming!”
As he spoke, Lu Yue quickly formed a sword technique with one hand. Immediately, the sword wave behind him was unsheathed and hovered above his head.
“All combat teams, pay attention. There’s an ambush ahead!” Wang Yi’s voice sounded at this moment.
As soon as she finished speaking, the situation changed.
Dense cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, and a three-meter-wide hole appeared under the military truck carrying the blood stone. The truck fell straight into the hole.
Seeing this, Lu Yue immediately wanted to go forward.
At this moment, Feng Qi took a step forward and stopped Lu Yue. Then, he smiled and said,
“There’s no hurry. I don’t believe that the other domain forces will let the blood stone be taken away. They will definitely take action. Let’s wait and see.”
Just as Feng Qi had expected.
A humanoid figure with black wings suddenly appeared in the sky.
At this moment, it swung the rope in its hand at the truck. Instantly, the top of the rope shot towards the truck like an arrow and wrapped around the falling truck at an extremely fast speed. Next, the truck suddenly flew into the air.
At this moment, the black-winged domain creature pounced straight at the blood stone in the truck.
However, before it could get close, Wang Yi’s figure appeared behind it. A ball of gray fog turned into a chain in the air and suddenly grabbed the black-winged domain creature’s neck.
“Crack!” A crisp sound of bones dislocating rang out. The black-winged domain creature instantly died.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi was even more certain that there was something wrong with Wang Yi.
With her strength, she could easily tear apart the darkness that enveloped her previously, but she chose to wait for death. It was simply a pretense.
Just as Wang Yi’s figure descended, several figures appeared beside her again.
One of the figures pounced straight at Wang Yi. It had a pair of bull horns and was more than three meters tall. Its entire body was covered in explosive muscles. The sickle-shaped weapon in its hand suddenly swept across Wang Yi’s armor and sent her flying.
Just as it went for the blood stone, the commanders of the various domain combat teams also jumped up and pounced at the blood stone.
Upon seeing this scene, Feng Qi immediately looked at the warriors of Dawn who were preparing to provide support and shouted,
“Members of the Dawn Domain Combat Team, stand down and wait for orders.”
Hearing this, the warriors who were about to join the battle looked at him with puzzled expressions.
“Deputy Commander, why do you want us to stay where we are?” The captain of Squad Eight immediately asked.
“The situation isn’t as simple as you think. Stay where you are and wait for orders.” He didn’t explain much and cast his gaze in the direction of the blood stone again.
In the distance, more and more figures attacked from all directions.
With the first shot fired, the various factions could not sit still anymore and began to fight for the blood stone.
This time, the commanders of the various domain combat teams completely shed their disguises and decisively attacked to kill the “allies” who had obtained the blood stone.
The members of Dawn who were observing the battle gradually realized that something was wrong.
Initially, when they saw the commanders charging at the domain creatures that had snatched the blood stone, they did not think there was anything wrong. They thought that they were protecting the blood stone.
However, when they saw them attack allies, they immediately realized the problem.
“Deputy Commander, they seem to be fighting for the blood stone?” The captain of Squad Three came to Feng Qi’s side and asked with a solemn expression.
“As you can see. Pass down the order, the entire team is to prepare to evacuate at any time. As for the specific reason, 1’11 explain it when we get back.”
Hearing this, the captain of Squad Three immediately responded and left.
At this moment, the entire canyon was in chaos.
More and more domain creatures came from all directions to provide support.
It could be seen that many domain forces’ original ambush location was not in the canyon. Clearly, they had received the notice and rushed over from afar.
Feng Qi even saw a familiar figure among the fighting figures.
Most of this person’s body was made of machinery. In battle, the energy in his body rumbled as it circulated. Every punch produced a blue light that flickered on the surface of his body.
He was the current dean of the Future Research Institute, Li Xingchen.
After undergoing semi mechanical modification using spiritual energy, he was extremely powerful. Even those domain creatures that seemed to be huge were no match for him.
Close combat was also one of his strengths.
His body was also equipped with various technological long-range weapons that could carrying out firepower cover from afar.
The Science and Technology Research Institute was also involved in this operation. Li Xingchen had clearly received the black shadow’s order to seize the blood stone.
However, Li Xingchen was not the strongest person present.
There were many people stronger than him.
For example, the sharp sword in Wang Yi’s hand that was condensed from fog was comparable to the legendary Demon Sword.
As long as a wound was made by the fog sword, blood would spew out uncontrollably and be sucked into the bloody fog.
There were also many extremely powerful domain creatures.
This time, the various factions had clearly come prepared. The battle was very intense. Whoever obtained the blood stone would become the target of concentrated attacks.
Under such circumstances, it was obviously not easy to leave with the blood
stone..
