Chapter 705: Chapter 705
The Flying Bird descended quickly, and the two sisters had already leapt down before it could land. The trio immediately hid within the forest, quietly observing their surroundings. The location of the attack on them was a flat rock. Thıs content belongs to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥
No, that rock had been opened. An underground defense weapon had been attacking them.
"There’s a base here, but why would the people from this base attack me?" Du You thought, somewhat bewildered. This base was in such a desolate place, so covert, it was probably not an ordinary base.
Below, several people were watching screens. One of the screens was aimed at Du You’s direction, only to be blocked by the rock. "No way, our surprise attack was useless?"
"That guy reacted incredibly fast, casting a spell defensively in such a short time. He probably has some kind of spiritual perception skills. Plus, that defense was quite strong, at least the third tier."
"So young and already at the third tier. I wonder if we can recruit him."
"Forget it, the lord’s son died at his hands. Who dares to take him in."
"Stop talking. The sect leader is coming. It would be troublesome if he heard us."
Before long, a man of average appearance with delicate characteristics came over. Looking at the previous scene on the screen, a look of hatred flashed across the man’s eyes.
"Hmph, I didn’t expect this kid to dare show up on my territory instead of hiding in the city. This time, I’ll make sure he has nowhere to escape. Go, deploy the elite team, and the Mecha corps. No matter how powerful he is, he must be encircled and killed here today." He was already prepared to expose their location just to capture Du You.
Meanwhile, Du You and his team had been waiting outside for a long time but saw no one come out.
Thinking of this, Du You decided not to sit and wait for death. This place was clearly their territory. Waiting for too long would not be beneficial for him. Du You waved his hand and summoned the Death Ape and Death Scorpion.
"Detect any abnormalities underground." As he spoke, Du You also activated Destruction Flames, and a huge fireball appeared in the air, gradually growing. As the level of his magic increased, the power of the fireball also grew greater.
The two summoned beasts, with their strong earth perception, quickly sensed something off from the soil in certain areas because those areas were covered with specially treated rocks and various metals. Those areas they couldn’t control were certainly abnormal. By this time, a minute had already passed.
Under Du You’s guidance, the blazing fireball in the sky was hurled in that direction.
"Hey, that guy is guiding a powerful spell. It would be disastrous if it hits us."
"Hmph, that’s if he can find us. We’ve hidden so well. Can he discover us?"
Some people were worried, and some were disdainful. But time was short, and a minute later, the fireball fell. The location was very accurate, right where they were.
"Ah, this isn’t good. He’s found our location. Quickly intercept."
Almost instantly, the fastest interception measures were automatically launched. Countless small missiles shot out from hidden locations and flew into the sky. They struck the descending fireball before it could hit the ground.
The repeated detonations did nothing to deter the fireball, at most draining some of its power. Guided fully by Du You, the fireball’s power had already exceeded the third tier limit.
This desolate area, even in few nearby cities, there was a rare sighting of third-tier professionals. No one’s seen a destructive force of a fourth-tier spell. This is the effect of qualitative change brought about by quantitative change.
The missile interception was futile, and they could only watch as the fireball hit the ground. With a booming sound, the explosion caused a shockwave that rippled outward, and a big hole got blasted out on the ground.
If it were not for the deep hiding of the underground base, it would have been destroyed by now. Even so, twisted metal appeared at the bottom of the crater. That was the ceiling of the base. The base shook continuously due to the attack, and many people inside were unable to stand and fell to the ground. Some delicate parts inside the base were instantly destroyed.
"What’s going on? Aren’t we ready yet? Are you all just sitting around idly?" The leader yelled into the communicator.
Although no one had died from this incident, everyone was shaken. Most importantly, the base suffered heavy losses. Now that the base had been exposed, they must certainly move.
This loss of timing and materials could not be recovered in a short time. How should they explain to their superiors when they return? If it wasn’t for the lord’s insistence on revenge, they would not have attacked Du You, who was merely passing by.
"We’re already in action. Whoever dares to provoke our Blood Lotus must pay the price."
A rough voice sounded from the other side. On Du You’s side, they also noticed the metal plate.
"So, you won’t come out, huh? I’ll just blow you rats out from your holes." Du You sneered and again started casting Destruction Flames. Another fireball began to take shape in the air.
As soon as Du You began to gather fireballs, he sensed danger. Without thinking, Du You teleported with the Shadow teleport and left the original location. The moment he left, the original location became a large pit.
Electric sparks flickered around. Du You looked up and saw that the attacker was a turret that had appeared on the mountaintop at some point. "Is this an Electromagnetic gun? A large one, too."
Du You was sure it was a large Electromagnetic Gun because a small one wouldn’t have such power. The force of a small Electromagnetic Gun could barely be resisted by Du You’s current strength. But a large one would be fatal if it hit, no doubt about it.
Without giving it any thought, Du You planned to destroy the Electromagnetic Gun. Its threat was just too great. However, just as Du You was about to attack, a series of light balls came flying from afar. Du You could only quickly duck down.
Looking in that direction, unknown to him when, some four-legged mecha had appeared. Two gun tubes kept firing light balls. These were not ordinary light balls, but energy bullets.
Although the power of each energy bullet was only of the second tier, their numbers were too great. Du You would definitely be affected if he had to withstand them for a long time.
"I was wondering why they attacked me. So, it’s Blood Lotus’s people." Du You saw the Blood Lotus’s insignia on the mecha from the corner of his eyes. He was too familiar with this evil organization having clashed with them many times.
Since it was Blood Lotus, their attacks on him were quite normal. His relationship with the local Blood Lotus was not exactly hostile, but it was quite tense. At this point, it appeared it was a fight to the death.
