Willick screamed, hugged his head and face just now, and inspired Yuanli to protect his body. The fire wave suddenly suppressed and disappeared, and Allen also retracted the bone knife. Only then did Willick say: "Is this your new ability?"

"Resurgence is a trap-type ability. It can be placed in a certain area in advance, and it can be activated when the time limit is reached or guided by me." Allen put the bone knife on his shoulder and smiled: "I am not good at setting traps." , so I’ve been thinking about how to use it in active confrontation these days. I tried it just now, and it’s not bad. This move, let’s call it Ash Storm.”

"It is indeed powerful. The most powerful thing is that it is difficult to detect in advance. When it is discovered, it is already in the sea of flames." Willick patted his chest and said, if Allen hadn't released his ability in advance, now he would not be licked by the fire waves It's that simple.

With Allen's current strength, the coverage of the Ember Storm is an area within ten meters in diameter with him as the origin. This is his first truly large-scale killing move. If he encounters the previous wolf knights again, Alan's custody can give them a deep impression.

If the source power is further improved, this range can be expanded. Therefore, although Resurrection cannot advance, it can improve its power in a disguised form by tempering its source power.

As soon as the training was over here, there was applause on the side of the playground. Ke Jiesi clapped his palms, then pointed his finger at Allen and said, "It's very energetic, yes, there just happens to be a job for you."

Allen put away his fangs and walked to Kejiesi. The major said in a deep voice, "How far have your injuries recovered?"

"Basically does not affect the battle."

"Well, I need a few of you to participate in a mission to dig out the sword demon tribe that may be lurking near the base." Ke Jiesi waved his fist and made a gesture of gathering.

Allen's eyes lit up: "Happy to help."

"Okay, come with me. We have already carried out this operation jointly with two other bases. The three bases will join forces. The search range will cover a vast area of 500 kilometers between the bases. The search area of each team is different. I put you in a group with Sergeants Moder and Ye Feng, is there any problem?"

"of course not."

The two drifted further and further apart.

In the afternoon, Allen and others left the base. This mission is special. In order to facilitate their actions, the base allocated a single mana floating vehicle. A float bike is similar in shape to a jet ski, but it's much smaller. Powered by Rubik's Cube energy, the two sled-like baseplates create an anti-gravity field that allows the floating vehicle to travel over most terrain.

More importantly, it is very quiet, which reduces the chance of being discovered by the sword demon and improves the mobility of the search team. It is the most useful tool for this operation. The floating car is easy to control, and after a little familiarity, even a big guy like Bloy can easily drive it.

A search team of six people left the base and followed the area designated by Kejiesi. The top speed of the floating car can reach one hundred kilometers per hour. Due to the consideration of its size and power, it is not the fastest land vehicle. But it has an acceleration engine installed on its tail, which can double the speed when needed, enough to throw off any pursuers.

The six floating vehicles spread out on the wasteland in the shape of arrows. It was the first time to drive this kind of vehicle, which made Willick scream with excitement from time to time. He didn't calm down until fifty or sixty kilometers away from the base, lest the noise be too loud to disrupt the mission.

The search on the first day ended in vain, and several people spent the night in a leeward place on the wasteland. arise in a circle

The bonfire does not have a taste. Allen shot a dangerous species from Pluto nearby. It looked like a wolf but had two heads, and it was much smaller than the Horned Wolf. The two-headed wolf is very lean, but the legs are muscular. After the hair is removed, the slices are roasted on the fire, and the smell of meat can be smelled after a while.

Willick swallowed involuntarily, and reached out to catch the evenly roasted wolf meat, but Alan patted his hand with the back of the knife to block it.

"Don't be impatient." Allen shook his head, took out a small iron bottle from his rucksack, poured some powder from it and sprinkled it on the barbecue: "This is the cumin powder I stole from the kitchen, I know it can send Use it."

The cumin powder fell on the wolf meat, and then it was roasted by the fire until it tasted delicious, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their mouths when they smelled it. Allen picked up a piece with a dagger, put it in front of Lucy with a stone piece. Seeing the strange look of everyone moving their index fingers but desperately holding back, he laughed and said: "You can eat now."

Immediately, everyone rushed to snatch it, and Morde took a bite of the wolf meat, only to feel that the meat was full of fragrance. Moreover, the wolf legs are rich in muscle fibers and chewy. He ate with greasy mouth, and sighed: "We didn't know, it turned out that Sergeant Allen's barbecue skills are almost as good as his knife skills."

Allen himself took a piece and chewed it carefully: "When I lived in the wild, I could only make food in this way. At that time, there were no seasonings such as cumin powder, and at most they could only be scraped from certain stones. Some powdered salt to taste, the taste is far worse than this."

Hearing this, Ye Feng was startled, and said, "Aren't you from the Beth Keld family?"

After coming to Pluto for nearly half a year, Alan's identity is no secret. It's not surprising that Ye Feng would know. Allen shook his head and said, "I lived on the surface until I was 10 years old."

Although there are few words, everyone can hear that such a life must not be easy.

Bloy said at this time: "Before I was captured by Babylon, I also lived in the wild. I just lived with the tribe. Life is hard, but there are also many joys."

"You will have a chance to reunite with your wife and children, and then you can take them to Babylon," Allen said.

Bloy was overjoyed at first, then sighed softly: "It would be great if we could take everyone to Babylon."

Willick patted him on the shoulder and said, "Big man, this is impossible."

"It is indeed impossible. As long as the resources are always in the hands of the Federation and the nobles, life on the surface will not improve." Ye Feng said suddenly.

Allen gave him a strange look.

Moder said: "Sergeant Ye was born on the surface and joined the surface defense force. Because of his outstanding performance, he was recommended to the Sirius Defense Regiment, and only then did he have the opportunity to come to Netherworld."

He added: "Actually, it's very difficult to reprimand the Federation. If the Federation government doesn't do this, what qualifications does it have to fight in Outland? If the resources are evenly distributed, there is no way to fight high-level wars. After all, our earth is too poor gone."

Lucy moved her ears, nodded and said: "My old man often said that, but he also said that human genes are very similar to Idahuas, so you also have amazing potential. It's just that your race is too big for the entire universe. You are young, and it takes time for you to develop. If everything goes well, in about three thousand years, the star field you are in will gradually prosper."

Everyone smiled wryly. This Highness said it easily, but who knows what it will be like in three or thousands of years

"It's getting late, let's all rest, and we'll be busy tomorrow." Allen ate up the wolf meat, clapped his hands, and took down a constant temperature sleeping bag from the floating vehicle.

Several people spent the night in sleeping bags like this.

Early the next morning, after Allen and the others continued to advance for 20 kilometers, they entered the Ironwood Hills. Here grows ironwood trees that look like dead trees, hence the name. As soon as the floating car drove up a low slope, Alan's communicator rang. Kejiesi's voice appeared in the communicator: "Report your current location."

"Just arrived at Ironwood Hills." Allen said, and then reported a set of coordinates to the navigator on the floating vehicle.

"Very well, a small supply team lost contact near you, and I need you to go and investigate." Ke Jiesi gave Allen a set of coordinates and said: "Be careful, it may be that the sword demon tribe is active .Remember, don’t act rashly after you find out, it’s your task to bring the news back.”

"Yes, sir."

After finishing the communication, Allen gestured for everyone to come back to him: "There is work to be done."

Arriving at the coordinates specified by Kejiesi, a transport truck was overturned on the ground, and some blood and two rifles were scattered nearby, but no body was found. The supplies on the truck were still there, and Lucy checked the work records from the cab. This truck was going to another supply base, Ai Zhuo, and then went to a checkpoint in front of the battle line. Unfortunately, it stopped here.

"Look this way." Ye Feng waved from the other side of the truck.

Allen stepped forward, and Ye Feng was squatting on the ground. There are some clear paw prints on the ground, extending towards the depths of the Ironwood Hills. Ye Feng looked up: "What do you think?"

"It's the paw print of a rabid wolf, and it's not light, otherwise it wouldn't leave such a clear mark," Allen said.

After hearing the words, Moder nodded and said, "It must be the Wolf Knight."

"If it's the Wolf Knight, does that mean there are tribes in the Ironwood Hills?" Ye Feng frowned.

The Ironwood Hills are not small. It is located on the southwest side of the Blood Eagle Base, about 200 kilometers away from the base. The area of the hill itself is five to six hundred square kilometers. Not to mention one tribe with a thousand people, even two or three tribes in this area are more than enough.

"Follow up and have a look," Allen said.

Put the floating car in a hidden place, and make the necessary camouflage. The six sneaked on foot, chasing the traces left by the wolf knight. Apparently, wolf riders have no habit of dealing with the aftermath, leaving many traces behind. Sometimes it was bloodstains, sometimes it was a piece of clothes hooked by the iron tree, and the most obvious ones were the paw prints of horned wolves. They were like arrows pointing the direction of the search team.

In the evening, when the search team went sixty to seventy kilometers deep into the hills, they saw the flames from a distance. Allen winked at the others, and the six of them dispersed and started to choose from different directions towards the fire. Allen walked alone, with fangs in hand, and rushed forward like a leopard. After advancing about ten meters, a shrill cry suddenly sounded from the front. He took a deep breath, suppressed the idea of rushing forward, and approached at a constant speed.

Moments later, he saw a camp.

A huge camp. In this camp, a large number of iron trees were pushed down, and tents, flagpoles, wooden fences, stoves and campfire fences were erected on the flattened ground. The camp was so wide that Allen couldn't see it. I only saw sword demon warriors appearing around the camp, and wolf knights flitting past the edge of the camp like ghosts from time to time. Allen quickly glanced at the camp, and among the dozen or so tribal flags he could see, there were three different patterns.

At least three tribes gathered in this camp!
