Chapter 117 The Digging Warrior
The moment the antenna base exploded, I saw the enormous bullet hole.

Xu Feng immediately recalled the "escape plan" that he had simulated countless times.

So the moment Li Feng shouted "smoke bomb," the smoke bomb in Xu Feng's hand had already exploded.

This plan was something he had thought of back when he was chasing down those two high-level beastmen-class black-haired white-tailed monkeys outside the shantytown.

Using the white smoke as cover, Xu Feng suddenly rolled to the side, moving about two meters away.

Then he threw a smoke grenade at another angle.

Immediately, he ignored everything, flipped his hand to take out an alloy shovel from his spatial ring, and started digging down into the ground.

In just a few breaths, Xu Feng was already standing in a pit that was two meters deep and about two square meters in size.

From throwing smoke grenades to completing the digging of the "trench".

The whole process was so smooth, it was as if it had been rehearsed a million times, almost instinctively.

Immediately, Xu Feng began digging frantically like an excavator, shouting to those around him, "Everyone move closer to me! I've dug a hole here, everyone quickly hide inside!"

The smoke grenade provides cover for only one minute.

They are currently located on the eastern side near the mountaintop.

There are still 200 meters to the top of the mountain.

To cross the mountaintop and hide on the leeward slope, even a distance of 200 meters would involve taking a huge risk.

There was nothing around the antenna, and no cover to use.

Running out of the smoke range at this point is tantamount to giving the enemy a free kill.

Therefore, hiding in the deep pit dug by Xu Feng is currently the safest option.

At this moment, the members of the Wind and Fire Squad were lying on the ground, trying to keep their bodies as low as possible.

Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing Xu Feng's words.

What does it mean to "I dug a hole here"?
How many people can be hidden in a pit dug in such a short time?
But when Captain Li Feng arrived at Xu Feng's side by listening to the sound, he saw the exaggerated "pit" on the ground.

He stared in astonishment, his mouth agape. After only a half-second of hesitation, he jumped right in.

He shouted for everyone to gather around him.

In less than five seconds, the entire Wind and Fire Squad had taken cover in the pit.

They stared in disbelief at Xu Feng, who was frantically shoveling dirt like an excavator.

Dust flew everywhere, and rocks and soil tumbled about.

And at the spot where Xu Feng was standing.

He has dug about six meters deep into the ground.

The person had disappeared into the pit and continued digging forward, creating a "pit within a pit".

He practically made that alloy shovel spark when he swung it.

Even the hard rocks inside the mountain could not stop him for a moment, and they were all shattered by his shovel.

"XCMG! What do you plan to do?!"

Li Feng squatted on the edge of the "pit within a pit" and shouted to Xu Feng below. He could tell that Xu Feng seemed to have planned for this situation.

“Leave a few people here to distract the other side, and I can dig a tunnel from here to the back slope of the mountain.”

Then you go down the slope from the back and go around to take care of them all!

In the pit, Xu Feng ducked his head to avoid the dirt and shouted loudly.

"I understand!" Li Feng immediately understood Xu Feng's plan.

At this moment, Li Feng had no time to think about how this XCMG engineer had developed such a powerful "digging hole" skill.

His martial instincts and years of battlefield experience told him that every moment of hesitation increased the risk of death.

At that moment, he couldn't think of any plan that was more reliable or efficient than Xu Feng's.

Then just stick to it.

Li Feng turned to his team members and asked, "Can you contact the base?"

Wang Chong, the team member in charge of operating the various devices, shook his head and said, "No! Something around us seems to be interfering with the communication signal."

We can only communicate over short distances; communication will be interrupted if the distance is even slightly longer.

Li Feng immediately gave up on asking for help: "Mu Yu, Chen Kai, Wang Chong, the three of you stay here!"

"Help us draw the enemy's attention. Remember, the timing of your appearance is crucial."

"Yes!"

"Qian Wu, come with me," Li Feng said to the strongest high-ranking warrior in the group.

"Yes." Qian Wu immediately drew his sword from his waist and began to inspect his equipment.

"Wang Chong, how many drones do you have left?"

"two!"

Wang Chong immediately opened his backpack.

"Okay, let's send one out first to confuse them!"

"Yes!"

hum!
next moment.

A drone "whooshed" out of the pit and into the air.

However, it exploded with a "bang" as soon as it took off.

Various parts flew out and scattered everywhere, and everyone raised their hands to shield themselves.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous booming sound came from afar.

"They're keeping a close eye on us, but they definitely didn't expect us to be hiding in the pit. That was a brilliant move."

Mu Yu leaned against the edge of the pit, her face pale, and smiled.

"A team equipped with this level of sniper rifles must be at least a military elite squad in the base."

Li Feng waved his hand, interrupting the discussion: "Now is not the time to discuss this. Let's fight our way out! Qian Wu, stay close to me, we—"

As he was speaking, he turned around and looked at the pit within a pit.

"Holy crap? Where's Xu Gong? Did he already dig it out?"

The result was discovered.

Xu Feng, who was digging a hole just moments ago, had long since disappeared, seemingly having moved to dig towards the other side of the mountain.

"Quick! Keep up!"

Li Feng slung his battle axe over his shoulder, turned around, and jumped into the pit.

"Depend on!!"

As soon as he landed, he saw a passage leading directly to the back slope of the mountain.

Judging from the light flashing from the other end of the passage, Xu Feng had already dug through the mountain while they were exchanging those few words!
"Quick, clear the soil out of there! Let's catch up!"

"Hey, Captain, that's strange. Why is there so little soil in this passage?"

"Why worry about so much? It might just be some kind of excavation technique used by XCMG!"

Whoosh!
In the mountains and forests.

A blur of motion swiftly caught a throwing knife, using mental energy to reduce its weight.

In this way, combined with movement techniques, the person moves at lightning speed, just like a real ghost.

Its movement speed has exceeded the limits that a high-level warrior should have.

This person was none other than Xu Feng, who had dug through the mountain and circled around to the dense forest on the ground from behind the hillside.

He dug for less than 30 seconds over a distance of 150 meters.

This was certainly not entirely due to his use of a shovel.

Even if you're fast, you only have one shovel, so your speed is limited.

Actually, just as he was digging the pit, Xu Feng suddenly had a thought and remembered the drilling machines he had seen used to drill tunnels and burrows.

So he suspended five throwing knives in front of him and propelled them forward in a spiral motion.

Its effects were indeed excellent.

The throwing knife thoroughly loosens the soil beforehand, and then he uses a shovel to dig it open, allowing him to quickly move forward in the excavation.

After excavating through the mountain, Xu Feng waited at the entrance for two seconds.

When they realized that Li Feng and the others hadn't caught up yet, they simply gave up waiting.

The fighter plane is fleeting.

Every extra second you wait, the other party is more likely to become alert.

Although Xu Feng guessed that the other party probably did not expect them to escape using this digging-style method.

However, once the other side becomes alert, the surprise attack becomes less effective.

Attack and counterattack, hunter and prey.

From this moment forward, their identities have changed.

Without a doubt, those people were definitely after me.

Otherwise, a normal martial arts squad.

If the intention is to attack another martial arts squad.

They will definitely prioritize eliminating the commander or the strongest general in their team.

Instead of targeting an engineer in overalls.

Although he didn't understand why anyone would want to kill him, he could think about it later.

Xu Feng's mind is currently focused on only one word.

That is—do it!

"The target appears to have hidden in a depression, making it impossible for the sniper rifle to detect."

The sniper from the Snow Dragon Squad spoke into the communicator.

A cold voice immediately came through the communicator: "OK, change the plan."

The melee team has dispersed and is preparing to approach. Pilots, please confirm the enemy's position!

"Drone surveillance has been initiated, I'm currently—huh? What's that!"

at this time.

The pilot, who was lurking in the canopy of a tree, exclaimed in surprise.

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly fell headfirst from the tree crown.

The sniper nearby immediately rolled over and instinctively landed in the bushes.

Then, he suddenly looked at the "flying hand" lying on the ground.

His pupils contracted at just one glance.

On the forehead of the teammate who had lost all breath, there was a blood hole about the width of a finger.

His head was blown open, leaving a bloody hole.

The dead can no longer die.

"What weapon?!"

The sniper immediately felt a chill run down his spine, and his mind instantly flashed through many long-range weapons used by the military.

at this time.

He suddenly felt a chill run through his body, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast.

The sniper's exceptional senses allowed him to instantly perceive the looming shadow of death.

"enemy--"

Before he could even shout, a figure landed on a nearby tree.

"puff!"

A cold light pierced through the back of his head, and then suddenly flipped upwards!

The sniper's entire skull was ripped open.

Xu Feng landed quietly.

He reached out and stripped the sniper rifle and the equipment off the man from the ground.

He then instantly stored it in his spatial ring and disappeared into the forest.

"Zhang Long, what's wrong? Did you find something?"

In the forest, Chen Long, the captain of the Snow Dragon Squad, suddenly stopped and asked in a low voice into the communicator.

"enemy--!"

But the next moment.

The sniper's shocked cry came through the communicator. But he had barely uttered a single word when the forest fell silent once more.

No, something happened.

I met a master!
Chen Long was startled and waved to his two close-combat teammates beside him.

The three immediately turned around without hesitation and crept towards the direction where their teammates were hiding.

Who is it? A mutated creature or a human?

As Chen Long cautiously reached forward, he tried to guess the other person's identity.

People from the Wind and Fire Squad?

impossible.

They were just hiding under the suppression of sniper fire.

Even if he had a chance to escape the suppression, it would be impossible for him to get here in such a short time and then kill his two high-level warrior teammates silently.

Even a novice warrior can't do that!

Chen Long has this confidence in his team members.

They are all seasoned veterans, not some fresh flowers sent from academies.

So, who else could it be?

Just as the three of them reached forward in a triangular formation.

"Puff!!"

suddenly.

Chen Long's two teammates suddenly seemed to have been hit by a train.

It let out a sudden, miserable groan and flew backward.

A chill ran down Chen Long's spine, and he quickly bent down.

Whoosh!
A silent streak of metallic light grazed his scalp, startling Chen Long into a cold sweat.

"A throwing knife?!"

Although it was only for a moment, he saw it very clearly: it was a throwing knife!

"Psychic Master?"

Chen Long's heart immediately trembled, and his whole body went cold.

But when he suddenly slapped the ground with one hand and spun up, he...

The flying knife that grazed past him remained unchanged, disappearing straight into the distant forest.

The two teammates never made a sound again.

"Not a mind-manipulator! Just a throwing knife!"

But there was no sound; it must be some kind of special secret technique!

Chen Long immediately breathed a sigh of relief, instantly analyzing the opponent's attack method and determining the direction from which the throwing knife was coming.

Immediately, a cold look appeared on his face.

"We must close the gap!"

Chen Long made a quick decision in his mind.

However, just as he turned around, preparing to make a quick charge...

His expression suddenly changed, and he turned around abruptly.

Then a figure appeared as if from nowhere, falling from the sky and instantly appearing in front of him!
Chen Long let out a low shout, and his sword instantly slashed upwards, heading straight for the figure.

But just as he raised his hand...

"Buzz!"

An invisible shock suddenly burst forth from the other party.

Just after this invisible shock.

Two streaks of light, accompanied by a silent, explosive blade of light, came hurtling towards us in an instant.

Chen Long felt as if his brain had been hit hard by something in that instant.

He froze for a moment.

But his strong will brought him back to his senses in an instant.

Instinctively, he raised his sword to block in front of him!
"Dang!!"

Chen Long narrowly blocked the terrifying slash with his sword.

He then roared and suddenly unleashed a second burst of power from his arm.

"Crack!"

With a crisp cracking sound, Xu Feng's arm twisted instantly.

Chen Long's sword grazed his chest and sent him flying.

In just a moment of contact, the two people's terrifying forces collided, directly shattering Xu Feng's arm.

Xu Feng had anticipated this; the physical condition of a high-level warrior was still too much to handle.

But at the same time.

One of the throwing knives he hurled struck Chen Long squarely in the chest, sending him flying with a "bang."

Xu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he secretly thought it was a pity.

It must be an A-grade combat suit to be able to block even an A-grade alloy throwing knife!

"puff!"

At the same time, another streak of light grazed Chen Long's neck and flew out.

It was just a hair's breadth away from ending his life.

Chen Long, filled with shock and anger, stopped abruptly and spun around to deflect the force of the flying knife.

Then, with a "bang," it shot up from its spot.

It blasted a deep crater in the ground and instantly caught up with Xu Feng, who was flying backward.

But at this moment.

Chen Long, who was leaping in mid-air, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xu Feng in astonishment.

Xu Feng grinned, his face covered in blood, and waved his left hand.

Five throwing knives shot out in an instant.

Like five shooting stars, they instantly traversed a distance of tens of meters and shot towards Chen Long.

And just as he raised his hand to parry with his sword, his flight path suddenly changed.

"Puff puff!!"

Two of the throwing knives grazed Chen Long's body before flying away.

All three of the throwing knives struck Chen Long squarely in the face.

"puff!"

next moment.

Xu Feng leaped past and silently beheaded him with a single slash.

Until then.

He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

After rolling around a few times.

Xu Feng barely managed to steady himself before coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He instinctively braced himself against the ground with his right hand, and then let out a miserable groan.

"Depend on."

I almost forgot that my arm was broken.

"call!"

Exhaling gently to relieve the pain, Xu Feng braced himself with his left hand and quickly stood up.

He first went to Chen Long's side and stripped him of his A-level combat uniform.

He then took away Chen Long's weapons and tactical watch, and after thinking for a moment, he even took off Chen Long's shoes.

Then, Xu Feng took a picture of Chen Long's face with his tactical watch.

Then he turned around and rushed towards the direction where Chen Long's two teammates had fallen.

About a minute later.

Two figures then arrived at the scene with extreme caution.

But when he saw the broken trees and signs of a violent battle scattered throughout the forest, Li Feng stared in astonishment, his mouth agape: "What's going on?"

After scanning the scene, the two realized that all the enemies were dead.

"Captain, the number of bodies has been confirmed."

Five people in total, all dead. The number matches the military's standard for a martial arts squad.

Qian Wu said with a strange expression.

Li Feng turned his head and asked, "By the way, where's the sniper? Have you found him?"

Qian Wu nodded and said, "Found him. The man's elbows and fingers show signs of years of gun handling, confirming he is a sniper."

Strangely, I couldn't find his sniper rifle or equipment nearby, not even his binoculars.

"These people have been almost completely exposed. Captain, could it all be Xu Gong's doing?" Qian Wu asked in shock.

Li Feng immediately shook his head decisively: "It's unlikely. Judging from the situation, this squad is a very professional military squad."

Even if XCMG truly possesses the strength of a warrior.

It's also impossible to take out the entire squad in such a short time; something's not right here.

He turned to Qian Wu: "Where's Xu Gongren? Have you found any trace of him?"

"I didn't see him." Qian Wu shook his head and glanced around.

Li Feng chuckled self-deprecatingly: "That's right. Given his personality, he probably hid after digging the tunnel."

However, Li Feng still felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of the horrific scene.

"No matter who did it, they saved us, right?" Qian Wu looked at Li Feng.

Li Feng nodded and said decisively, "Yes, I guess so. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Have you left your facial images?"

“It’s been recorded.” Qian Wu pointed to his tactical watch.

Li Feng waved his hand and immediately turned to leave: "Then let's retreat!"

The person who could wipe out a professional military warrior squad in such a short time must be at least a mid-level warrior.

Or perhaps it's an even stronger squad of warriors.

Li Feng made this judgment entirely based on his own understanding.

But who could it be?
Are they just passing-by base warriors? Or members of the enemy force?

Li Feng shook his head slightly; neither of these was very likely.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. Anything can happen in this dimensional world.

Maybe some super strong person passing by couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to help them resolve the crisis.

But that doesn't quite make sense either.

After all, what super strong person would take away the equipment from someone after killing them?

Such a small amount of money should be insignificant to a powerhouse of this level, right?

At the entrance to the mountain passage.

When Li Feng and Qian Wu hurriedly returned, they saw Xu Feng peeking furtively from the bushes not far away.

XCMG!

Li Feng immediately waved his hand and called out to Xu Feng.

Qian Wu smiled knowingly and said, "Haha, Xu Gong is indeed here!"

Xu Feng had already taken a detour back beforehand.

He not only changed into a clean work jacket from his spatial ring, but also took the time to wipe the blood off his body with wet wipes.

Hearing Qian Wu's teasing, he "nervously" crossed his arms, and asked with a slightly pale smile:

"Did I cause you any trouble? Did you handle the other party's situation? Are you two alright?"

Looking at his quail-like appearance, Li Feng was certain that this was the Xu Gong he knew.
