Chapter 1122: Chapter 43: War Begins!
The cold camp was bleak with the whistling wind. Even though there was a bonfire, threads of chill still seeped through.
Gu Shen stood expressionless before the two bonfires.
The mountains overlapped in the distance, and the night was dim and bloody.
He couldn’t clearly see the specific scene beyond those mountains, but the intuition from the Spirit Sea wouldn’t be wrong… The “extraordinary light” he felt was indeed the Spiritual Aura of a Transcendent.
In this desolate Tundra Region, who else could exude such a powerful Spiritual Aura?
It could only be the prison escapees from the Snow Cage!
Gu Shen reached out to grasp the pendant. The Goddess of Destiny’s protection was currently sending a series of tense spiritual waves, which corroborated his hypothesis.
“Mr. Xiao Gu… What a coincidence, you can’t sleep either?”
A voice came from behind.
The medic Jimo, wrapped in a large coat, rubbed his hands and exhaled cold breath as he slowly walked over. He mumbled as he reached the bonfire, “For some reason, I’m tossing and turning tonight, unable to sleep well.”
Gu Shen glanced at Jimo.
The current situation was a bit dire. In this camp, apart from him, there were only two Fourth-order Transcendents… One of them was a non-combatant specializing in healing; not to say Jimo wasn’t strong, as he was a solid Fourth-tier Spiritual. If he were facing ordinary third-order adversaries, he could easily take them down.
But if faced with a Fourth-order prison escapee.
His combat power wouldn’t be enough.
“Mr. Ji, did you sense anything amiss?” Gu Shen pocketed the pendant.
“I spread my spiritual power to the maximum… didn’t see anything unusual…” Jimo held his coat tight, paused, and murmured, “You mean?”
Gu Shen looked towards the distant mountains.
Those guys were indeed concealed and understood the spiritual probing distance of Fourth-order Transcendents well… Even my Chi Huo couldn’t clearly see that far.
It was understandable for Jimo to feel uneasy without detection; his strength wasn’t sufficient.
“Prepare for the enemy attack.”
Gu Shen said this very softly.
He glanced at the bonfire beside him and reached out to grab a strand of blazing flame, then tossed it upwards.
“Bang!”
The blazing flame exploded in mid-air, scattering dazzling light, instantly illuminating the entire camp like daylight!
This warning was more impactful than Spiritual Communication; everyone resting in tents or patrolling nearby became instantly alert, their senses tightened.
Gu Shen’s voice echoed above everyone’s Heart Lake in the camp.
“Everyone gather around the bonfire, prepare for the enemy attack!”
In an instant, the dead silent camp surged to life. The young members of the Mu Family and elite Transcendents from the vanguard exploration team, even though they were not aware of what happened, recognized it as Gu Shen’s voice.
“Close in!”
“Retreat back!”
The Transcendents patrolling outside, slightly away from the camp, urgently retreated at this moment.
…
…
“What’s going on, were we discovered?”
Dozens of miles away, three figures slid along the ground, almost merging with the snow color.
The silver-eyed one showed a surprised expression.
They all saw the blazing flame that abruptly rose and exploded on the distant Heavenly Curtain. To them, it seemed as though a burst of fiery light ignited in the night for no reason, like a firework explosion, clearly a warning signal!
Behind them, the tall man standing atop a snowy mountain remained motionless.
Boss Yuan’s chilling voice pierced through hundreds of meters, reaching the Heart Lakes of the three: “Continue forward, engage directly and assault head-on.”
“I… will send you off.”
As the words fell.
Amidst the swirling snow, Boss Yuan extended a palm, pressing towards the three through the void.
“Boom~~~”
The Extraordinary Essence in the void erupted fiercely; the figures of the three blurred as though the entire space they occupied was severed. With them becoming blurred, so did the Caster himself.
In the next moment, they suddenly teleported nearly a thousand meters!
This was a terrifying ability to “move space,” allowing them to leap swiftly towards the camp repeatedly during the snow night… They initially planned to silently infiltrate, evading all detection, and then launch a surprise attack. But this sudden change completely altered their plan!
Now, there was only the path of direct frontal engagement to seize the initiative!
As they teleported closer, they could no longer disguise their presence.
And in that scant few seconds, they leaped out several thousand meters at terrifying speed… Even Mu Qingyang, sitting in the tent, was a strong attack Fourth-order, not known for spiritual strength, could sense the impending peril!
“Buzz——”
At the moment Gu Shen’s mental reminder echoed, the giant spear in the tent resonated with a clang!
Mu Qingyang’s eyes snapped open, grasping the spear shaft, lifting the tent curtain with the Red Tassel Spear tip, a thread of sinister killing intent flowing in his phoenix eyes.
Someone’s coming!
The prison escapees from the Snow Cage were indeed madmen, daring to counterattack against Changye’s siege…
“Rumble.”
The camp was already in a state of level one alert.
The young members of the Mu Family had set up a defensive formation on the camp’s high ground. Even the vanguard exploration team, during group operations, prepared heavy logic weapons.
The modified heavy machine guns, Gatling guns, and a large volume of red-silver bullets were ready.
At this moment, three blurred figures appeared in everyone’s sight.
“Such speed!”
The three figures, like swift lightning, were shoulder-to-shoulder in the distance one moment, and the next, as if receiving some signal, they scattered instantly, disappearing across the Snowfield!
