Even though everyone was being extremely cautious, there were still some who nearly fell for it. However, what baffled everyone was why the opposition was so fixated on the Little Husky that Фэн Юань had transformed into. Even after spotting their little actions several times, they still tried to target the Little Husky resting on the back of the White Wolf Deity.
It got to the point that Фэн Юань had to revert back and sleep directly on the back of the White Wolf Deity.
Just as everyone was contemplating whether to take action, a horn sounded, and that peculiar group of soldiers immediately informed everyone to prepare to attack Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom after dinner.
Even though the timing for the attack seemed odd, everyone had made up their minds not to dissuade them, knowing full well they would never change their time based on others’ advice.
"Attacking at night? We’re responsible for the side tower from this position? Hmm, what do you think?"
Looking at the order sent by the peculiar soldiers, Фэн Юань turned to Dou Yanlan, who paused briefly and said
"Energy nexus."
"This tower looks somewhat like an energy nexus, but if that’s the case..."
Фэн Юань stroked his chin and looked at Dou Yanlan, who nodded and said
"Very dangerous."
Even if the opposition deliberately crafted the Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom battlefield in a game-like manner, the Rebel Army’s internal affairs hinted that there would surely be many hidden elements here. Energy nexus, no matter where they were, would certainly have formidable defensive forces, especially since this is a target for this phase of the Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom battle.
Relying on just that energy nexus, they could deploy weapons of massive destructive power as defenses, making these places not only important but also the hardest to break through.
"Agunas, how about your team supports the frontline battleground?"
"What are you planning to do?"
Agunas swished its tail as it looked at Фэн Юань and asked, wondering what he was up to. Sweeping his gaze over the others, Фэн Юань said
"We’ll look for auxiliary energy nodes and internal power supply nodes. Although this place resembles a game, it’s ultimately reality. Without an energy circuit, those weapons are just ornaments."
"You all, be careful."
Thinking about it, Agunas didn’t raise objections, and Veronia pointed at the White Wolf Deity and asked
"What about him?"
Фэн Юань chuckled and said, knowing full well he might not be able to protect Ци Чэнь and the others alone. As for sending them with Agunas to the frontline battle? He suspected powerful weapons might be deployed there, and having them follow Agunas could be equally dangerous.
Other teams also received the same orders. Since they had previously agreed to collaborate, each team dispatched people for final coordination, ultimately assigning the frontline to Agunas and Veronia while the other teams took separate actions.
Three horn blasts sounded as the soldiers advanced toward the side tower, with everyone following in squad formations. Occasionally, they glanced around; the massive crystal-built houses made them feel like they had entered the Giant Kingdom. Agunas watched the front warily, growing more cautious as the team neared the towering structure.
At that moment, Agunas suddenly swiped its paw, creating a time barrier that blocked the energy beam fired from the tower. Watching the rapidly fading light in the time loop, Фэн Юань exclaimed
"Indeed, it seems the frontline battle is truly... challenging."
"Hang in there, we’ll be quick."
Spotting a somewhat peculiar building, Фэн Юань spoke as he led Dou Yanlan and the others away from the group. Although the Rebel Army requested Фэн Юань to join the battle, they essentially ignored his actions.
Noticing Фэн Юань’s departure, the other teams did not immediately follow suit. Except for a few amateur groups, most commanders had their own judgments. The building Фэн Юань headed into, though seemingly inconspicuous, held suspicions, but their reason for not following him was not just a lack of necessity for joint action, but uncertainty about what might be inside.
Such trickery was not impossible, and if there were traps inside, being caught altogether would be a troublesome affair.
"Why did they go in there? It seems that place might be more of a trap, if not, could have many defenses."
Ye Hanlei watched the footage of Фэн Юань’s actions with puzzlement. At this moment, various cities began broadcasting and inviting specialists to interpret the actions of different teams. Being in a Different Пространство, many things couldn’t be done, and the battle for Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom determined their return to reality.
At a time like this, while everyone was concerned, not everyone could understand those teams’ maneuvers, especially those led by commanders who didn’t necessarily act according to conventional logic.
"Probably because of the White Wolf Deity next to them; they can’t just avoid a possible danger without exploring it. Apart from Agunas and Veronia, the White Wolf Deity has the strongest abilities among them. Even if it’s somewhat inappropriate, someone has to take that step, just like we’re busy handling our tasks."
The female member of the temporary tactical team next to Ye Hanlei patted her shoulder, saying, despite Ye Hanlei’s concern for Liao Yu and the others, there were more pressing matters waiting.
"This place really is an underground facility; however..."
Huo Feng assessed the concrete passage seriously. Shortly after entering the special building, Фэн Юань found a hidden underground tunnel, surprising them that it was built with concrete rather than crystal.
The lines set up along the underground tunnel and the flickering lights gave everyone an ominous feeling. Wu Dingwu frequently glanced behind him, asking
"Here, wouldn’t monsters suddenly appear from behind or other places?"
The underground passage was cramped; even though the White Wolf Deity used its power to allow their large Укротитель зверейs to follow, it couldn’t evade a troublesome issue: the beasts wrapped in the White Wolf Deity’s spatial power couldn’t fight.
Even though they could borrow Укротитель зверей powers against enemies, it wasn’t as safe as fighting alongside a beast. Besides Liao Yu and Huo Feng, Фэн Юань was the only one skilled in solo combat.
At that moment, Ци Чэнь suddenly drew his Longbow, and with a few twangs, arrowed humanoid, twisted black shadows were pinned to the wall. Фэн Юань glanced at Ци Чэнь, waved his hand, and sent a black sword flying toward the creature.
"Keep moving, onward."
Calling out loudly, Фэн Юань patted Xiao Ji, who was eager to look back, signaling for it to hurry forward. Huo Feng turned to look behind; the creature pinned to the wall was being dismantled by the black sword, until it was no longer capable of splitting or regenerating, eventually disintegrating into ash under the dark sword light.
Aside from Huo Feng, the others didn’t witness this scene. Traveling through the tunnel, the surrounding light dimmed further. Summoning a ghostly blue flame, Фэн Юань pondered for a moment then extinguished it, turning to Dou Yanlan and asking
"Cotton, does it have any unique light source skills?"
Glancing at Фэн Юань, Cotton flicked its tail, meowing as its claws gently tapped the ground, releasing a ghostly white ball of light. Although it didn’t appear much better, it proved far superior to the eerie blue flame Фэн Юань summoned earlier.
With the new light source, Фэн Юань glanced at the overhead lighting, on the verge of going out completely, and said
"If we destroy those lights, what will happen? ~"
"Maybe nothing, or it might trigger an alarm."
Dou Yanlan looked at Фэн Юань helplessly and said, scratching his head, Фэн Юань flashed a bright smile without pursuing the idea of destroying the lights. After walking a few steps, the lights ahead completely extinguished. Fortunately, Cotton’s summoned light ball was there, allowing everyone to proceed silently. Dou Yanlan recalled something and said
"Do you think the arrangement of lights in this passage holds any special significance?"
"Hmm, probably not for scaring or setting the mood, since most Духовные звери have ways of providing light. But this thing is indeed odd; whether it’s for alarms or..."
Фэн Юань stroked his chin, uncertain about the situation. He couldn’t be certain if there was an issue, wondering if this was meant to mimic a terrifying environment? Yet, he had an inkling that something didn’t feel quite right.
