Chapter 260 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes, the City Falls!
"what!"

The scout immediately screamed in pain, clutching his head and collapsing onto the table.

Xu Feng walked closer slowly, smiling as he said, "Aren't you going to tell me?"

"Kill me if you dare!!" the man screamed.

hum!
Xu Feng remained unmoved and continued his attack, with screams echoing throughout the room.

After this happened four times, the scout finally looked dejected and started drooling.

Xu Feng then placed a palm on the top of his head and poured his spiritual power into it instantly!

Spiritual Imprint!

After a while.

The man slowly regained his composure, then clasped his hands in a salute to Xu Feng: "Master."

"Just call me leader," Xu Feng smiled slightly and sat down to the side. "Introduce yourselves first, and then tell us your purpose."

"My name is Zhou Fen, and I am a man who has long since died."

The man said in a low voice.

A moment later, Xu Feng strode out of the door.

"This man is a member of the Revival Church, and they have established a stronghold deep in the Wumeng Mountains."

It seems like some kind of ritual is being performed. The purpose is to 'awaken' something.

The beast tide is just a smokescreen!

However, he did not know the location of the ritual or the specific being the other party wanted to awaken.

Xu Feng quickly relayed the information the grave had given him.

"The anomaly of this beast tide is their doing!"
They can influence, and even guide, the direction and target of the beast tide to some extent!

Wang Lin's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and the expressions of the people around him also changed drastically.

"Report this intelligence to command immediately! Top priority!"

Xu Feng gave the order to Li Suifeng, while looking at Wang Lin.

"Old Wang, the evacuation of the outpost must be accelerated; we may not have much time left!"

He walked to the window and gazed into the northwest.

The sky grew increasingly gloomy, the roars of beasts drew closer, and the tremors of the earth intensified.

"The Revival Church awakens ancient beings and guides the beastly tide."

Xu Feng repeated these keywords in a low voice, clenching his fist.

Whatever the other party wants to awaken, we must never let them succeed!
"Pass down the notice: the last batch of personnel must all board the vehicles and evacuate within ten minutes!"

Abandon all non-essential supplies! Speed ​​things up!

Xu Feng turned to the station chief without leaving any room for argument and said, "Station Chief Liu, hold on tight."

"Yes!!" Liu Rui shouted as he accepted the order.

Then, Xu Feng turned to Wang Lin and said, "There are other spies waiting outside. I'll go with them later. You take them back first."

"Can one person manage?" Wang Lin asked, frowning.

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "I'm not alone."

Not far away, Ah She came running over happily.

"Tap tap—tap tap—"

It circled Xu Feng twice, then obediently sat down on the ground.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "That's true."

Soon, "Zhou Fen" was ready, and Xu Feng, like a cheetah blending into the shadows, silently followed behind him out of the outpost.

After leaving the outpost, Zhoufen returned to its natural state, becoming exceptionally cautious and deliberately choosing secluded and difficult paths.

He would also stop from time to time to use the terrain and his senses to counter-surveillance, clearly indicating that he had received rigorous training in tracking and counter-tracking.

Xu Feng didn't care about this.

After all, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Who knows if there are any enemy spies in the outpost?

Xu Feng's mental power, like invisible tentacles, remained locked onto him.

He perfectly concealed his aura, activating his invisibility belt to blend seamlessly into the surrounding darkness.

Ah She shrank in size and stayed in Xu Feng's arms.

Its senses were equally sharp; it would occasionally nuzzle Xu Feng gently, alerting him to subtle movements ahead.

They followed for nearly twenty miles, deep into a desolate hilly area.

The "grave" finally stopped at the entrance of a rocky valley.

He let out a few strange cries, like those of a night owl, which echoed through the silent valley.

A moment later, a response came from deep within the valley.

A dark shadow flashed out from behind the rocks like a ghost and merged with the "grave".

With the help of the occasional flashes of lightning in the distance and his powerful eyesight, Xu Feng was able to make out the appearance of the person who had just arrived.

It was a tall, thin man wearing a gray cloak.

The hood of the cloak covered most of his face, revealing only a chin with sharp, cold lines.

He exuded a cold and powerful aura, like a lurking venomous snake.

Beginner War God!

Xu Feng immediately made a judgment.

"Where's the stuff?"

The man in the gray cloak spoke, his voice hoarse and deep.

"The Third Protector."

“Fen” bowed respectfully and took out a specially wrapped item from his bosom, presenting it with both hands.

"This is the latest deployment adjustment map of Outpost No. 4, as well as a memory card that records the faces of several war gods who came to provide support."

The gray-robed man took the memory card, quickly checked it, and seemed fairly satisfied, nodding: "Well done."

The ongoing 'awakening' ceremony within the church has reached a crucial stage, and everyone's attention is focused on it.

These seemingly small things are actually the key to our success or failure, and you did a great job.

"Once the 'Ancient Ancestor' awakens and leads us to purify this filthy land, you will be credited with a contribution."

Awakening Ceremony! An Ancient Ancestor?!

Xu Feng, who was hiding in the shadows, was slightly startled.

really!

The abnormal behavior of the beast tide was to cover up this so-called "holy awakening" ritual!
They want to awaken a terrifying being known as the "Ancient Ancestor".

"Third Protector," "Grave," following Xu Feng's instructions, asked in a slightly hesitant tone, "'Holy Awakening' ritual... can it really succeed?"
I heard that the last attempt in the Beiyang area seemed to be…

"Shut up!"

The gray-robed man, known as the Third Protector, interrupted sharply, his eyes suddenly turning piercing.

"That incident in the Beiyang District was merely a rehearsal for failure!"

With the 'sacred remains' at the core of this ceremony held on the main ridge of the Wumeng Mountains, the ritual is sure to be a success!
The will of the 'Ancient Ancestor' will once again envelop the earth, and these ant-like strongholds will all be reduced to dust under the holy might!
Your task is to continue monitoring and ensure that no further incidents occur before the ceremony.

His tone was filled with fervent piety, as well as a hint of impatience at the "grave's" sudden eloquence.

The most crucial information was obtained—the ceremony was to take place on the main ridge of the Wumeng Mountains, with the "sacred remains" at its core.

Xu Feng knew he couldn't wait any longer!

Just as the Third Protector finished reprimanding "Grave" and was about to turn and leave, in that moment when his mind was most relaxed—

It's now!

Swish!
Without any warning.

The ten throwing knives, which had been poised to strike, were like living silver fish, tearing through the night with a shrill shriek, instantly forming a dense net of knives that blocked all possible escape routes for the Third Protector!

At the same time, Xu Feng stomped his foot hard, sending rocks flying, and he shot out like an arrow.

The Xuanjin Battle Blade was drawn from its sheath, its blade brimming with the fusion of blood and spiritual energy, transforming into a dark golden blade of light that was so refined it seemed capable of cleaving through space, and slashing straight at the opponent's head!

A single slash from the southeast wind!

Xu Feng delivered this attack without holding back, seizing the moment when his opponent relaxed their guard.

"who?!"

The Third Protector was both shocked and furious; he had never expected such a terrifying enemy to be lurking nearby.

In the rush, a great gray light shone brightly around him.

An ancient-looking bone armor instantly appeared beneath the cloak, and at the same time, a punch was thrown out.

The fist was wreathed in a gray-black energy, filled with an aura of death and decay.

He attempted to withstand Xu Feng's blade strike and deflect the flying knife.

boom--! ! !
The blade's edge and the fist's force collided violently, unleashing a muffled, thunderous roar!
The violent energy shockwave spread outwards, kicking up all the rubble and dust on the ground!
"Crack!"

Under the unparalleled sharpness of the Xuanjin Battle Blade, the bone armor only withstood the pressure for a moment before shattering with a sound of its own demise!

The third protector groaned, staggering backward as he was struck by the immense force.

The body's Qi and blood surged, and the protective energy vibrated violently.

He wanted to retaliate, to unleash even stronger secret techniques.

But Xu Feng gave him absolutely no chance to catch his breath!

"Buzz!"

A powerful mental storm, like an invisible hammer, slammed into the Third Protector's sea of ​​consciousness.

Although the opponent is a war god, his mental defense is not weak.

But this sudden mental shock still made him pause, and his mind went blank for a moment.

That fraction of a second of pause determined the outcome!

Xu Feng's figure approached like a ghost, his battle blade swirling, changing from a slash to a strike.

The heavy blade, carrying immense force, slammed into the Third Protector's chest!
"puff--!"

The third protector felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow, and a clear cracking sound came from his sternum.

He vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs, and the gray light on his body dimmed instantly.

The shock and anger in his eyes turned into horror and disbelief. His body flew backward like a broken sack, crashing heavily against the rock wall.

boom!
The entire hill shook violently and collapsed.

Xu Feng smiled coldly and darted out of the ruins to pull him out.

The third protector had already fainted and was seriously injured.

From the sudden attack to the end of the battle, the entire process took no more than three seconds!

A nascent War God-level protector of the Revival Cult was so overwhelmed by Xu Feng's absolute power that he couldn't even mount a decent counterattack before being severely injured and on the verge of death!
The "grave" kneeling on the ground beside it had already been torn to shreds by the aftershocks.

Not even a complete corpse was left behind.

Xu Feng shook his head slightly; the loss of his mental imprint made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, none of this matters.

He quickly locked a special handcuff onto the third protector's arm.

Without lingering, he quickly left this place of trouble, carrying the prisoner and disappearing in a few flashes.

They sped off toward the meeting point agreed upon with Wang Lin.

Time is still of the essence.

But the prisoners in their hands might be the key to turning the tide.

Base 8.

trial room.

"Forehead"

When Alos woke up, he found himself being stared at coldly by the person in front of him.

He shuddered, remembering the terrifying power his opponent had just unleashed.

He then looked around and realized that he had been arrested.

"The Third Protector of the Revival Church?"

Xu Feng looked down at him, his voice as cold as the Siberian wind.

"Tell me the exact location of the Wumeng Mountain ceremony."

"Also, what is the 'Holy Remains' and what is the 'Ancient Ancestor'? Tell me, and I'll give you a quick answer."

The Third Protector spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, "Heh heh. Don't even think about it!"

Blasphemers! You vermin of this world!
The day the 'Ancient Ancestor' awakens will be the day you die!

You will all die!

Xu Feng's eyes sharpened, and he stopped talking nonsense.

A powerful surge of mental energy erupted once more, and the same trick was used again.

However, the moment his spiritual power touched the core of the other party's soul.

An extremely subtle, cold, and destructive force suddenly erupted!

Xu Feng was startled and abruptly withdrew his mental energy.

"With my soul, I dedicate it to—"

The third protector wore a fanatical and ferocious smile.

However, the smile was abruptly cut short by Xu Feng stabbing him in the shoulder.

immediately.

He unleashed a mental storm with all his might, directly stunning the guardian.

"Phew—is this guy planning to commit suicide?"

Xu Feng speculated that what he had just felt was some kind of self-destruction restriction within his body.

The methods employed by this revivalist sect are indeed more bizarre and ruthless than imagined.

These core members even had such a vicious restriction placed on their souls.

However, the trip has already been very fruitful.

The mastermind behind it has been identified as the Revival Church.

I learned that the ceremony was probably held on the main ridge of the Wumeng Mountains.

This already speaks volumes.

At least now we have a general direction for the investigation.

As for the "ancient ancestor" these people were talking about, Xu Feng guessed it was probably some ancient remnant soul. These guys...
Sometimes he doesn't even know what these people are thinking.

What is the connection between the remnants of ancient souls and these modern people?
Or perhaps these people have been mentally controlled and have completely lost their autonomy?

Without much thought, Xu Feng quickly reported all the information and then handed the person over to the Special Investigation Team.

Let the professionals handle the rest.

His part is finished.

Even after the members of the various outposts returned to Base 8, some turbulence still arose within the base.

After all, there are too many people.

Even if the Special Investigation Team had extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible for them to investigate each person with their mental power as meticulously as Xu Feng.

Approximately fifteen hours later.

Ten kilometers away from Base 8, several figures quietly arrived in a mountain forest, gazing at the location of the base from afar.

A short-haired young man wearing black armor walked at the front, carrying a thick-backed sword.

Behind him followed six figures.

"Have you made contact with the alien race?"

The young man asked casually, and one of the six figures behind him stepped forward: "It's all arranged. We'll launch an attack from all four sides simultaneously."

According to them, it was at noon.

"Isn't the cult leader at Base 8?"

"No."

The short-haired youth sneered: "Then I'm relieved. If I accidentally killed him, the others would come after me."

"Don't worry, Vice Leader, someone will take care of the Leader's safety."

The young man turned to look at the speaker and chuckled, "Elder Zhou, there's no need to worry. I'm familiar with the competition rules within the sect."

This applies not only to the Bactrian branch of Christianity, but also to other branches around the world.

"I know very well that the Gu worms cannot be released until the very last moment."

Then, he turned to look at Base 8: "What we need to do today is to use the blood and flesh of this city to complete the preliminary preparations for the sacrifice."

Therefore, our only task today is slaughter! Only by killing enough people can we obtain enough blood sacrifice essence!

The young man glanced up at the sky, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. "Almost there, ten more minutes. Let's go. By the way, where's Alos? Still no reply?"

"No."

"He's a piece of trash, never mind him."

"kill!"

"kill!"

The group of people flashed and quietly sped away towards the base.

Just as they were about to arrive at the base.

Rumbling--

A black line suddenly appeared from the distant hillside, then billowed up a cloud of dust and surged toward Base 8.

"Uuuuuu——"

A series of piercing alarm sirens blared throughout the city.

Two hours earlier, all non-combatants in the city had already entered the underground safe house.

Just as the alarm sounded.

All the automatic weapons on the city walls of the entire base then rotated and rose up.

At the same time, the four white "turrets" at the four corners of the city wall slowly began to rotate.

This is the human race's most powerful weapon against lord-level creatures—the laser cannon.

On top of the city wall.

The hearts of all the soldiers were in their throats, and their fingers, gripping their weapons tightly, turned white from the force.

distance.

The black "tide" surged in at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Accompanied by deafening roars and trampling sounds, it seemed as if the entire earth would be overturned.

Dust filled the air, obscuring the rising sun and turning daytime into dusk.

"Hold the line! All units, fire freely according to the pre-determined defensive sequence!"

The commander's hoarse roar echoed across the city walls through the loudspeakers.

next moment.

The city walls transformed into a colossal steel beast that spewed forth tongues of deathly fire!

The heavy machine guns unleashed a dense barrage of bullets, like the scythe of death, sweeping down swarms of low-level alien beasts charging at the forefront.

High-explosive shells exploded in the horde of beasts, creating bursts of blood and flesh fireworks.

The sniper bullets, infused with a special alloy, precisely targeted and killed the more powerful leaders within the horde.

however.

The number of beasts was so great that it seemed endless.

As the beasts in front fell, those behind immediately trampled over the corpses and blood of their comrades and continued their charge.

Their eyes were bloodshot, they had completely lost their reason, and were left only with the instinct to destroy.

No one cares anymore what races are in this herd of beasts.

Everyone had only one word in their eyes—kill!

"Laser cannons ready at any time! Target: Lord-level unit. Obey my command, do not fire rashly!"

Command center, in front of the big screen.

The person in charge of Base 8 calmly awaited the appearance of the Lord-level creature.

These low- to mid-level beasts alone are not enough to break through the current defenses.

If alien races want to achieve something, they will inevitably have to send out lords!
The alien races were well aware that the humans possessed laser cannons.

Even those mutated creatures at the lord level are aware of this.

Therefore, in every battle between the two armies, the timing and location of the deployment of lord-level units are key points of contention.

Available today.

"boom!"

Four enormous creatures, each over thirty meters tall, quickly appeared on the battlefield and charged wildly toward the city wall.

"A Lord-level siege creature has been discovered at the West City Wall!"

"Eastern city wall discovered!"

"South City."

"north"

Lord-level creatures were discovered simultaneously on all four city walls!
The person in charge of Base No. 8 was immediately alarmed and keenly sensed the abnormality.

These lord-level creatures appeared far too early!
Those who arrived early seem to be "scapegoats" sent to deplete the laser cannon.

Currently.

He only has two choices.

First, send the God of War to snipe these four mutated creatures.

However, this makes it extremely easy for the War God to be ambushed by the enemy's lord-level alien race when he goes out to snipe.

In this way, the use of laser cannons will be restricted amidst the chaos.

The second option is to turn the tables and use laser cannons to blast these four lord-level creatures to death.

Let's see what other tricks they have up their sleeve!
In just two seconds, Lieutenant General "Ouyang Sen," the commander-in-chief of Base No. 8, made a decision.

Prioritize protecting our War God!
"Aim! Fire!"

The order was given.

The four corners of the city wall.

call out--!
call out--!
call out--!
call out--!
Four thick, blazing white beams of light, like the spears of judgment hurled by the gods, instantly traversed thousands of meters and precisely struck the rear of the beast tide!
"Roar--!"

A shrill and painful roar rang out, and the four enormous lord-level alien beasts, exuding a terrifying aura, were either instantly vaporized, blown to pieces, or severely injured and on the verge of death under the bombardment of the laser cannon!
The power of the laser cannon brought the surging beast tide to a standstill!
The defending troops erupted in thunderous cheers, their morale soaring.

But this excitement lasted only a short time.

The laser cannon is extremely powerful, but it takes a very long time to charge, requiring at least half an hour to cool down after each firing.

The beast tide seemed to know this as well, and after a brief pause and chaos, it surged up even more frantically.

They piled up corpses, using flesh and blood to ram against the steel defenses, and the city walls trembled slightly under the violent impact.

The battle has entered its most brutal phase of attrition.

First wave, second wave, third wave.
With their strong fortifications and unwavering will, the defenders managed to withstand three relentless waves of attacks.

The city walls were already piled high with corpses, and rivers of blood flowed. The air was thick with the stench of blood and gunpowder.

Just as the fourth wave of beasts was about to surge in, all four laser cannons were entering cooldown, and the defending forces were exhausted and running out of ammunition—

The lingering heat of the laser turret's incandescent flames had not yet dissipated.

The air was filled with the smell of ozone and burnt flesh.

A brief silence enveloped the city walls as the defenders seized this precious respite to change ammunition belts and treat the wounded.

Every face stained with blood and sweat was etched with exhaustion.

But his eyes remained fixed on the rising dust and beast tide in the distance.

However, the real deadly threat does not come from directly in front.

"Wow!"

A sharp screech suddenly echoed through the sky from outside the city.

In an instant.

From the shadows outside the city wall.

From the ruins of nearby collapsed buildings.

More than a dozen incredibly powerful auras erupted almost simultaneously!
The six lord-level alien races that had been lurking behind the beast tide and remaining inactive, along with six high-ranking war gods of the Revival Church dressed in gray robes and exuding a chilling aura, almost simultaneously stormed into the city.

The twelve people transformed into twelve streams of light of different colors, ignoring the ordinary beasts below, and headed straight for the weakest points in the city wall's defenses.

"Enemy attack! High-level combat forces have broken in! All war gods, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Inside the city, Li Tianlang, Yue Linfei, and other Great Xia War Gods, who had been waiting in full battle array, roared and soared into the sky, each locking onto their targets and intercepting them.

however.

The opponent has 12 warriors with god-like combat power.

Within Base 8, including Xu Feng, Wang Lin, and the original War Gods of Base 8, there are only 8 in total!
The Great Xia War Gods are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers!
"Qiang!"

"boom!"

"Oh!"

High in the sky, a terrifying energy collision erupted in an instant.

Sword energy crisscrossed, fist shadows howled, and a storm raged.

The aftershocks of the battle, which was of war god-level power, spread out like ripples, causing the buildings below to tremble and their windows to shatter.

The devastating impact of the battle soon swept into the city.

Large swathes of buildings collapsed with a deafening roar, and figures shot out.

Li Tianlang fought alone against a mid-level War God of the Revival Cult and a Lord-level alien.

Despite his immense bravery, he was no match for four hands and quickly found himself at a disadvantage, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Yue Linfei was entangled by two low-level alien lords and was unable to break through for the time being.

Zhou Xian was completely suppressed by a rock dragon lord alien race known for its defense and strength.

Wang Lin's sword intent soared to the heavens, his white hair danced wildly, as he fought alone against a serpent lord with incredible speed.

Although they are not at a disadvantage, they cannot win in a short period of time.

Dongfang Xu and Sun Liu joined forces and barely managed to hold off a mid-level wolf lord creature.

Meanwhile, another high-ranking war god who was originally stationed at Base 8 was locked in a fierce battle with a high-ranking war god from the Revival Cult.

However, in this way, the other side still has 4 War Gods of the Revival Church who are unstoppable!
"Warrior Defense Formation, Divine Guardian Group, prepare!!"

With a sharp shout from Ouyang Sen.

in the screen.

The four groups, each consisting of more than ten high-ranking warriors, fearlessly charged towards the four figures heading straight for the laser cannon.

But in the next moment.

On the east city wall.

Suddenly, a huge purple-scaled tiger leaped up from the ranks of warriors and smashed the War God of the Revival Sect flying away!
On the north city wall.

The War God of the Revival Church had only approached the laser cannon less than a hundred meters away when he was suddenly enveloped by several strange streams of light.

As the light faded, his body fell straight onto the city wall, where he was surrounded and dismembered by a group of warriors.

"The Wind Blade War God has arrived!"

"Wind Blade!"

"Wow, that's incredible! He killed them instantly!"

A cheer immediately erupted on the north city wall.

Ouyang Sen took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming, and couldn't help but pump his fist: "Wind Blade War God, well done!"

"East and North City Wall Guardian Teams, immediately proceed to the South City Wall for support!"

"Yes!"

Xu Feng hovered in mid-air, glanced at the corpses below, and without lingering, headed straight for the west city wall.

But he hasn't flown there yet.

Then a thick plume of smoke rose directly from the west city wall.

immediately.

"Roar--!!!"

A violent tremor shook the western city wall.

Half of the base was shaken.

As the smoke and dust rose, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

West City has fallen!
