Chapter 349: Siege in the Alley

In the alley, Feng Ying stared at the golden red fire rushing to the battlefield in the sky, with hatred in his eyes.

Although he could not really see the specific appearance of the figure inside the fire due to the distance, the two characteristics of pure Yangyan and metal wings were enough to indicate the identity of the visitor.

Thanks to the fermentation of the furnace forging shop and the soul-melting equipment, Xu Yue was quite famous in Paradise City, and all the information about him was not a secret, whether it was his powerful forging ability or his commonly used combat methods.

Feng Ying, who had done a deal with Xu Yue, deliberately collected detailed information about the other party after the deal was over, so after seeing these two extremely obvious characteristics, he knew the specific identity of the visitor at the first time.

He was not naive enough to think that Xu Yue went to the battlefield to rescue Hogg, and if it was not to help, then he must have participated in the interception.

Since he dared to rush into the battlefield in the middle of a melee, it was self-evident what camp the other party belonged to. In this attack on all the contractors in Cairo, even if Xu Yue was not the mastermind, he was an extremely important collaborator.

"Very good, I bought the Dragon Scale Heavy Armor from you, but it was destroyed by you in the end. I will remember you."

"Retreat!"

The open world is a chaotic battlefield of intrigue and deception. Feng Ying has done a lot of things to calculate others, so it is normal for others to calculate him now.

But as long as the identity of the mastermind can be known, it is not certain who will win and who will lose at that time. At present, this world has just begun, and he has enough time to get back on his feet.

As for the identity of the other party's forging master, it may be a deterrent in the Paradise City where the use of force is prohibited, but in the derivative world of the law of the jungle, this identity will only trigger greater greed. If the other party can be completely enslaved through the contract, then this time, not only will there be no loss, but it will also make a lot of money.

However, the first prerequisite for all these plans is to escape from the meat grinder of Cairo. After taking a deep look at the one man and one dragon who had already started fighting in the sky, Feng Ying shouted and turned to leave.

The deep darkness overflowed from his body, and Lao Jiao, who was behind him, did the same thing. When the darkness completely wrapped his body, a flash of black light appeared, and both of them disappeared in the alley.

The two of them used an ability called shadow jumping, which was efficient and hidden, and was most suitable for use in cities with complex buildings. It was precisely because of this that when the black dragon took the initiative to attract most of the attention, they were able to quietly escape the encirclement of the army.

The Death Bell Adventure Group is good at intelligence, assassination, exploration and other businesses. Most of the members in the group are assassins, thieves, dark mages, etc. This kind of shadow manipulation method is very common in the entire adventure group.

It is precisely because of the serious homogeneity that Feng Ying would cultivate a black dragon Hogger who is excellent in both strong attack and tank at all costs, but unfortunately, all the efforts in the past will be destroyed today, which is the main reason why he is so angry.

At the original place, the figures of Feng Ying and the others had just disappeared, and the darkness deep in the alley was rippling again. A ferocious beast with goat horns on its head slowly walked out of the darkness. Two red pupils like carbon looked at the place where the shadow fluctuations appeared not long ago, and the eyes were full of greed to choose people to devour.

A scarlet tongue poked out of the black hole throat, it licked its mouthful of sharp teeth, and the black fur all over its body trembled for a while, and then disappeared without a trace.

As the carrier of Taotie, the black-footed cat is born with multiple passive abilities such as dark concealment, shadow perception, and night hunting. After being strengthened by the Taotie soul, these abilities have become even more terrifying.

It is the most terrifying hunter in the jungle, and now Cairo is a chaotic steel jungle. As a hunter, Taotie is like a fish in water, and it enjoys the feeling of hunting and preying.

…………

The sun sets in the west. It has not been too long since the outbreak of the war, but the scope of the war is rapidly expanding.

The contractors with various strange means are not fish on the chopping board. When the weak ones died in the first round of bombing raids, the remaining ones are all experienced and difficult guys. Strong strength, cautious and cunning are almost their common characteristics.

Relying on the complex and chaotic environment of the ancient city of Cairo, they roam and counterattack while evading. While inflicting heavy damage to the human army, they also gradually spread the war from more than ten fixed ambush points to the whole Cairo.

Up to now, nearly half of the tens of thousands of human troops have been lost, and the number of civilians killed and injured in the war is more than ten times. The damage is tragic, but the results are also considerable. As the strangulation continues, the number of surviving contractors in the city is slowly and steadily decreasing.

Especially after Xu Yue blocked the black dragon, a large number of armed fighters were finally able to get rid of the entanglement and began to devote their main energy to the encirclement and bombing of the roving contractors.

The change in the main attack direction of the fighters has caused the remaining contractors to feel a sudden increase in pressure, and even the idea of ​​escaping from the ancient city of Cairo has changed.

In the city, there is still a possibility of fighting against guerrillas with the help of many bunkers and people, but once you reach the desert plains outside the city, you will really die.

On the west side of Cairo, three armed fighters were approaching a high-rise building in the city below in an encirclement and suppression state. After resisting the predetermined distance, without any hesitation, three air-to-ground missiles broke through the air and attacked directly.

A few seconds later, the entire high-rise building collapsed in a violent explosion, like a small earthquake. The surrounding ground also shook with the fall of this huge building. The boiling smoke and flames, along with countless desperate and dying wails in the ruins, formed a huge mushroom cloud of black and red that soared into the sky.

The mighty shock wave surged outward. Wherever the air wave reached, cars roared, people screamed, and broken glass fragments fell. Soon, the crowds around dispersed.

Then a rather embarrassed contractor suddenly jumped out of the smoke, but as soon as he showed his figure, he was greeted by a metal storm formed by the cross-fire of three aircraft cannons. The dense depleted uranium bombs were like a rainstorm, blocking all the space for evasion. After struggling for more than ten breaths, the contractor finally turned into an unrecognizable pool of blood and flesh in this rain of death.

The scene was so tragic that Feng Ying and the other man hiding in the shadows in the distance were terrified. In order to strangle a contractor, the army directly ignored hundreds of civilians in the high-rise building, making them all become the burial objects in the annihilation plan. This cruel method made the two people tremble with fear.

What really frightened them was not the tragic death of the contractor, but the army's reckless attitude. If nuclear bombs could be mobilized, Feng Ying had no doubt that the military would directly launch nuclear bombs to destroy the entire ancient city of Cairo together with the contractors inside.

Of course, this situation is basically impossible to happen, but now the army responsible for the annihilation plan is indeed on the verge of madness. No matter what the reason for the war, when the loss is so tragic, the military has no way out. The deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of civilians are irreversible. They can only go all the way to the end and annihilate all the unstable elements in Cairo as quickly as possible, and finally put the blame on this group of dead people who cannot refute.

As for the losses, too many lice will not itch. To put it bluntly, whether it is 50,000 or 100,000 casualties, it makes no difference to the current military. It is nothing more than a mistake or a bigger mistake.

But as long as the annihilation plan can be successfully completed, these dead civilians and soldiers will become heroes and martyrs sacrificed in the just war to completely destroy the mutant terrorist organization, and the military can also rely on public opinion to calmly divert hatred and turn all losses into merits.

The logic of the military's behavior is not difficult to guess. At least for people like Feng Ying who have been wandering in the dark for many years, just from his attitude, it is enough to figure out the other party's ultimate goal. All the aliens involved in this annihilation war will not be spared by the military.

Looking at the blood-stained and blazing ruins of the high-rise buildings not far away, Feng Ying's face was gloomy. In this situation, the Egyptian military will definitely set up strict control on the outer edge of the ancient city, and any existence that tries to escape from the ancient city of Cairo will suffer the most devastating blow.

"Captain, do we still need to retreat to the edge of Cairo?"

It was obvious that Lao Jiao in the back had also understood the current situation and was somewhat hesitant.

Hearing this, Feng Ying closed his eyes slightly, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Staying in Cairo means waiting for death, there is no other choice. Don't worry, I have a long-distance teleportation item in my hand. As long as we can successfully reach the edge of Cairo, we can teleport away directly."

After a few words of conversation, the darkness spread around the two of them, and they disappeared again. In the corner they did not observe, a pair of scarlet beast eyes had quietly locked the direction they flashed away.

After a while, Feng Ying and the other two, who had flashed several times in a row, suddenly appeared in the shadow of a dilapidated alley. The ability of shadow jumping is very strong, but the corresponding mana consumption is also very large. Cairo is now full of dangers. They must always ensure that their mana is full, so even if they want to speed up, they have to stop for a few minutes every once in a while to restore their mana.

The first task after leaving the shadow was to explore the surrounding environment. After looking around and confirming that the terrain was remote and there were no enemies nearby, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and settled down.

The army now was a hornet's nest in a frenzy. As long as they attracted the attention of any one of them, they would be bombarded by countless ammunition and artillery fire. The pool of minced meat not long ago was still vivid in their minds. Even if it were them, they could only flee in a panic in the face of such a wide-coverage metal storm.

"Lao Jiao, how long will it take to reach the edge of the city?"

"At most, we can reach it after two more consecutive jumps."

Looking at the Cairo holographic map projected by the machine in his hand, Lao Jiao roughly estimated the distance that each shadow jump could cross, and finally came up with a more accurate answer.

Hearing this, Feng Ying, who was looking up, nodded lightly.

"Well, rest for three minutes, we..."

Before the words were finished, the ground under the feet of the two collapsed, and a thick black horn broke out of the ground, with the sharp tip pointing directly at Feng Ying's heart.

As soon as the movement was heard underground, the two of them noticed it and leaped to the left and right. However, the speed of the thick horn was too fast. Before Feng Ying landed in the air, the tip of the horn was already close to his chest. The airflow it created first hit the skin on his heart, causing goose bumps to appear.

The fatal crisis quietly approached, but Feng Ying showed no sign of panic. A trace of disdain appeared in his eyes. At the same time, a deep short sword quietly emerged in his right hand. Just when the tip of the horn was about to touch his clothes, the short sword in his hand had already come from behind, hitting the side of the horn and splashing sparks.

The sparks were fleeting in the air. As the short sword passed straight through, half of the broken horn flew out, and Feng Ying was able to use the force to jump far away, escaping from the attack range of the horn.

On the other side, although the main target of the horn attack was Feng Ying, the dung beetle following behind the horn attacked indiscriminately. The huge giant insect suddenly rushed out of the ground, causing the ground several meters around to collapse. The large amount of gravel raised was scattered outward like bullets. Lao Jiao, who was affected, retreated several steps before he was able to escape from the danger range.

Just as he stood firm and had no time to catch his breath, he heard another subtle noise from behind. Although the sound was slight, the sense of fatal crisis that he would die in the next second instantly exploded in his heart.

His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and he quickly turned his head sideways, and what he saw was a dark and gloomy place.

"Crack!"

The upper and lower sharp teeth closed together and made a crisp sound, and Lao Jiao's head fell into endless darkness.

"Boom~"

Opposite the dung beetle that had completely protruded from the ground, half of the broken horn was firmly inserted into the wall beside the alley, and a dull sound echoed. Feng Ying, who easily avoided this surprise attack, finally landed on his feet.

His sight passed over the giant dung beetle that almost filled the entire alley in front of him, and through the gap between the insect's feet, he saw the headless corpse that was particularly familiar in a pool of blood. Feng Ying was stunned, and then his eyes were filled with blood.

He raised his eyes filled with murderous intent and looked at the square-shaped gluttonous goat-horned beast squatting on the stone wall on the right side of the alley. The beast had a leisurely look, and as its jaws kept moving, the terrifying chewing sound began to spread in the alley, and a pair of red-red beast eyes looked down from above.

When their eyes met, Feng Ying clearly saw the strong appetite in the beast's eyes, which was an appetite for him.

"Summoned beast..."

Even though he didn't make a move, he could clearly feel the strong threat from the beast. He suppressed the surging killing intent in his heart, lowered his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Friend, how about paying for my life? Five hundred thousand Paradise Coins to let me go! I can sign a contract to guarantee that there will be no revenge."

"I am the leader of the Death Bell Adventure Group. If you make a move, I will transfer all the property in the storage space to the Adventure Group space as quickly as possible. Even if you get my Bloody Card, you won't get any benefit at all."

"And I am a subordinate team of the Blood Gate. Killing me will not only be of no benefit, but will also inevitably arouse the hostility of the Blood Gate. It's not worth the loss, isn't it?"

After calmly stating the pros and cons, Feng Ying did not make any move, but just quietly waited for the reply from the person in the dark.

He was not afraid of the two summoned beasts, but rashly starting a war would do him all kinds of harm and no good. If he could not end the battle in a short time, it would inevitably attract the army's encirclement and suppression. Even if he quickly killed the two summoned beasts, it would not bring any threat to the summoner hiding behind.

So even though he knew there was little hope, he still had to try to buy his life in the safest way.

Unfortunately, when his voice gradually faded, the other party still did not respond at all. Instead, the ferocious giant insect in front of him stepped on the ground with six legs, showing a posture that was obviously about to start attacking.

He sighed in his heart, but his eyes flashed with murderous light. Since he was not prepared to negotiate, he would kill him!

"Boom!!"

The ground in front of him was crushed by the huge force. The dung beetle came like a heavy steamroller. Its huge body was perfectly utilized in this narrow alley, directly blocking all the space for Feng Ying to dodge.
