Just as Feng Qi thought that Mu Qing had seen through his identity, she looked
away.
Seeing this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
It was best if he did not come into contact with Mu Qing as much as possible.
Otherwise, it might affect the development of this villain timeline.
At this moment, the owner of the fog left the team and went to meet up with the commanders of the various combat teams.
After chatting for a while and checking that all their members were gathered, the owner of the fog gave the order to set off.
The warriors who received the order boarded the military vehicles.
Feng Qi also followed it to the military vehicle containing the blood stone.
Then, the convoy set off from the square in front of the recruitment hall in the Former Days Supply Area and drove towards the main road to the Former Days City according to the route they had previously planned.
After several hours of traveling, the convoy left the supply area and arrived at the main road.
On both sides was an uninhabited desert. A winding road connected to the
horizon.
The military vehicle Feng Qi was on was in the center of the convoy, protected by the convoys of the various combat teams.
His perspective in the escort this time was completely different from before.
In the previous escort mission, he was in charge of guarding the left rear of the convoy and corresponding with Qin Shikong on the right rear.
This time, he directly stood in the center of the convoy.
His goal had also changed from escorting the blood stone to seizing it.
He looked at the blood stone covered by the black cloth in front of him and looked at the owner of the fog standing at the side.
“Fog, don’t you have the ability to absorb blood stones? How confident do you think you are in escaping if we attack now?
“There’s a high chance that we’ll die. We’re now in the center of the convoy.
Where can we run to if I absorb the blood stone now?
“Moreover, Mu Qing from the Dawn Domain Combat Team is on the left front.
There’s no possibility of escape. We can only wait for the situation to turn chaotic and take the opportunity to absorb it before escaping.”
After hearing its, Feng Qi immediately nodded and looked to the left front where the Dawn Domain Combat Team was.
At this moment, Mu Qing was standing alone on the top of the truck of the looking ahead.
As if sensing something, she turned to look at Feng Qi.
After briefly exchanging glances, Feng Qi decisively lowered his head.
For the next three hours, the convoy traveled at a uniform speed. There were no unexpected incidents during that period.
At this moment, smoke and dust billowed in the west.
A large convoy was quickly approaching the escort team.
The owner of the fog raised the communicator in its hand and said in a low
voice,
“All combat teams, pay attention to the situation. Be prepared to fight at any
time.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes.
He didn’t need to think to know that the approaching convoy was definitely the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team sent by the Science and Technology Research Institute.
The owner of the fog had only given the order to prepare for battle as a pretense for the other combat teams to see.
Just as he had expected, after this convoy approached, they sent members to make contact and explained that they were the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team that had come to provide support.
After hearing this news, the owner of the fog decisively let them join the escort team.
The other combat teams were puzzled by this, but they did not probe further. After all, “she” was the commander-in-chief of this joint escort operation. She was fully in charge of the arrangements.
After the convoy changed their formation, they continued forward.
There were not many green plants in the desert on both sides of the main road. It was a desolate scene. Along the way, animal bones appeared.
After looking at such an environment for a long time, one would more or less feel visual fatigue.
After another two hours of traveling, they arrived at the Former Days Supply Bridge.
“Are we going to take action?” Looking at the supply bridge in the distance, Feng Qi turned to look at the owner of the fog.
It nodded.
-The ones taking action on the bridge are the warriors recruited by the Science and Technology Research Institute from the alliance of weak domain races. They were deployed here in advance. It’s just a probing operation. We don’t expect to snatch the blood stone. We’ll act according to the situation.”
Feng Qi nodded and turned to look at the distant bridge.
This bridge was built when the Eastern Supply Area was established near the sea. Below it was a turbulent river that flowed east into the sea.
At this moment, the convoy drove onto the bridge.
Nothing unexpected happened when they drove through the first section of the bridge.
However, as the convoy approached the center of the supply bridge, a rough male voice sounded from the communicator.
“I sensed a large number of life auras under the bridge. Prepare for battle.”
As soon as it finished speaking, cracks appeared on the bridge. A black light pierced through the cracks and quickly enlarged in the air, turning into a black curtain.
However, before the black curtain could fall, combat teams in front took action.
A scarlet streak of saber energy soared into the sky and shattered the black curtain.
“All groups are responsible for the safety of their respective areas. Continue forward without interfering with one another,” the owner of the fog ordered at this moment.
As countless black figures pounced from both sides of the bridge, the battle officially began.
Compared to Feng Qi’s memories, the owner of the fog was much more cautious in this escort mission.
In his memory of the sacrifice timeline, it had briefly took action during the bridge segment, wanting to cooperate with the recruited weak domain races to snatch the miracle blood stone.
Its acting skills were extremely bad. It could even be said that it was too lazy to act.
But this time, the owner of the fog did not act.
He did not need to think to know the reason. It must be because Mu Qing was too intimidating.
It did not fear the threat of other battle groups, but it was extremely afraid of Mu Qing.
The feeling of suffocation when its origin life core ruptured was still fresh in its mind after so many years..
