Destiny is ashes

Chapter 461 Chance Encounter
"what?"

The scouts were shocked. Ever since they started using equipment like the Iron Kite, they didn't think they would be discovered.

In the past, the most technologically advanced equipment that the Dachen scouts had, apart from various magical instruments, was probably the telescope. The Tieli people are so much behind the Dachen, so their equipment will certainly not change.

Precisely because they knew this, they simply did not believe that the Tieli people could discover them so directly.

But Canglinzu's prestige was enough. As soon as he gave the order, everyone immediately smashed their drone glasses or remote controls without hesitation, and then prepared to rush out of the forest and spread out to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.

But the third explosion was heard, and this time, it was not just a flash of fire, but also a slight vibration and sound.

"Wait, don't leave the forest, the situation has changed this time!"

With his brows furrowed, before Canglinzu could say anything more, a sharp sound suddenly came from the cold air filled with frost and snow.

The first scout to leave the Ice Crystal Forest had his head exploded, and red blood plasma and gray brain matter scattered like rain. After the first arrow sounded, countless frost arrows from the snow clouds in the distance shot down like rain and hail, covering the entire surrounding area with a piercing roar.

Cang Linzu pulled out a folding pistol from his waist and deflected a few frost arrows. The whole team was in an uproar. Most of the warriors were able to knock away these aimless covering shots, but the martial artists and ordinary people might not be able to do so. Five more people died immediately.

——When? The enemy is close enough to launch an attack!
Although he was shocked, Cang Linzu immediately realized that the shooting was sparse on the left side. He immediately gestured and the surviving members of the scout team broke out directly to the left.

During this process, Cang Linzu did not hesitate at all and directly sent a signal to An Jing through his own fate.

Except in critical periods, An Jing and Cang Linzu could not exchange information and could only touch each other vaguely, but the two parties also agreed that if they encountered the most urgent situation, they would communicate through this specific touch.

"what?"

At this moment, in Linjiang City, An Jing, who was still seizing the time to practice in the earth veins, suddenly opened his eyes. He knew very well that if Xiaocang had not been in danger, he would never send this signal.

But how did the scout team, which had drone reconnaissance and acted extremely cautiously, get discovered?

"All teams retreat, as fast as possible!"

He was completely puzzled, but that didn't stop An Jing from immediately giving orders to the other teams through the messaging app Shui Jing.

In the distance, on top of a hill.

The Frost and Snow Cavalry Centurion was not happy about his victory. On the contrary, he felt a chill in his heart when he saw Cang Linzu and his men quickly break through the siege. "What kind of quality is this? Intelligence tells me that these people are just unprofessional local militia led by a part of the military. How can they be militia with this quality?"

Moreover, the enemy was hiding so well. If the big tent had not somehow known about the camps of the spies in the surrounding area and directly asked them to eliminate them, they would not have been able to tell that there was an entire scout team hidden here.

He immediately gave orders, asking the magic cavalry to continue casting spells and the martial cavalry to move forward cautiously to avoid touching the landmines and block the retreat direction of the Canglinzu team.

This scene did not only happen here. With the Iron Cavalry Headquarters as the center, all the relatively close scout teams encountered the Frost Cavalry's sudden attack. However, because of Canglinzu's timely reminder and Anjing's retreat order, they did not suffer any losses.

The only ones in danger are Cang Linzu and others.

After rushing out of the ice crystal forest, they were met with more than twenty Frost and Snow Riders. These Wujun riders were holding spears, a kind of magic weapon with the tip that could shoot ice arrows. They silently formed a formation and charged forward. Immediately, four scouts were unable to dodge and were pierced through the abdomen and nailed to the spot, but they did not die.

——They want to capture him alive!
Cang Linzu hesitated for a moment. The situation was very clear. They were surrounded by a whole squadron of a hundred men and had no way to escape. In just a few breaths, another dozen Frost Riders came from the rear. They were surrounded on two sides and it was impossible for them to leave.

But he could actually escape. The ability to travel through the netherworlds could allow him to take several people with him, and although the distance was not long, there was still a chance of escape.

But if the others, the others who were left behind, died, to be honest, they could still breathe a sigh of relief. The only fear was that they survived and leaked key intelligence. Before setting off, the scout team received anti-reconnaissance training and signed a contract. If they were captured alive, they must find ways to commit suicide to avoid being forced to reveal intelligence through soul search... If they could not commit suicide, then others would have to do it.

This is the point where Cang Linzu couldn't make up his mind for a moment - killing the enemy is fine, but should he really kill his own people...

"puff!"

Following closely behind him, Qin Yunye did not hesitate at all. She raised her hand, and several flying knives pierced the heads of those scouts who were not yet dead and were still wailing in pain, killing them on the spot.

The girl had a fierce look on her face, and she didn't notice Cang Linzu's hesitation. She said sternly, "Captain, there are only four of us left. Use your magical powers and run!"

After just two rounds of attacks, only four people were left alive in the entire scout team. Cang Linzu did not hesitate any longer and immediately and decisively activated the magical power of communicating with the netherworld. A large lightless star appeared behind him, and its shadow swept across, enveloping all the remaining people.

Seeing this scene, the Frost Rider Centurion was shocked and angry. He had just issued the order to 'capture them alive', so the Frost Riders held back. Otherwise, with everyone rushing forward and backward at full speed, how could these scouts be alive?
But who would have known that there was someone with supernatural powers among this group of people!
As a last resort, he could only pass the information back to the commander.

"The power of the netherworld... using Qiming as a spy? Dachen is really extravagant..."

When Kan Hao heard the news, he was also quite surprised. Generally speaking, those who can use supernatural powers are either at the peak of their martial arts or at the Shenzang realm.

Only those with extraordinary destiny and above can freely display magical powers at low levels.

At this moment, in the big tent, Kan Hao stood up. He was a little hesitant: "The intelligence summarized based on the sensitivity of the demons to life is indeed useful. It's just a pity that we found these spies but didn't catch any alive. This group of people is really determined."

“The power of traveling through the dark… have them continue to search the surrounding area! Low-level powers of traveling through the dark have no guidance and cannot travel for long. Let them search within three or four miles. It must be there!”

Kan Hao's order was correct. Once Cang Linzu's ability to communicate with the underworld exceeded three people, the maximum operating time would be reduced to about half, which would not allow him to escape too far.

But this time, something unexpected happened.

Because, when he was about to leave the underworld and break out again with the remaining scouts, Canglinzu suddenly felt a hint of guidance.

This guidance was not directed at him, but at An Jing - he could feel it, entirely because in the guidance fireworks from the netherworld, there were a few words faintly transmitted that Cang Linzu could not ignore.

[I hope my son is safe and sound…I hope my son is safe and sound]

——Same name? Or...

It was difficult to tell what was going on, but overall, he still decided on his next move as quickly as possible - he used his magical power to travel through the dark without hesitation and rushed towards the cloud of fireworks.

The Tieli Iron Cavalry, the tribe responsible for logistics, are resting.

Because the front battlefield was held up by the Dachen Wu Army led by Gu Yunzhi, these temporarily mobilized tribal soldiers, although insufficient in combat power, were still qualified as logistics troops. They followed the pace of the iron cavalry, following behind them, walking and resting from time to time.

Inside the camp, an old man was pacing back and forth with his eyes closed, looking worried.

But afterwards, the old man, that is, An's father An Qianshan, suddenly saw four figures emerging from the underworld in front of him after praying. They were obviously scouts of Dachen.

"Huh?" He couldn't help but asked in astonishment: "What's going on here?"
