Along the way, everyone passed through the woods and did not meet the previous evacuation team.

This is because the artillery squadron escorted by Zhang Daoling and Wang Ziming traveled on a different route than the evacuation troops just now.

On the one hand, it was because they did not want to be involved in the evacuation team, and on the other hand, because when the two were fighting, the artillery squad of fifty people was already at its limit and had no time to help other soldiers.

This marching route was also personally selected by Zheng Xinglong, the commander-in-chief.

Compared with other evacuation routes, the journey is shorter and takes less time.

This reduces the possibility of being attacked by mysterious alien creatures.

Walking in the forest, except for the sound of gunshots and the chirping of raptors, there was no other sound.

The creatures that originally lived here have long been scared away by previous battles, or were hunted and devoured by raptors.

According to common sense, there will be no danger here. However, since the mysterious alien creatures appeared, the forest has become extremely unsafe.

Especially if the opponent is quite smart, the possibility of attacking the artillery squad is even higher.

"Peng!!"

At this moment, a sound came from the left side ahead. Judging from the position, it should be the evacuating troops walking before them.

Wang Ziming frowned slightly. Although there were several superpowers guarding him, he was still a little worried about the situation there.

"Peng!!"

However, the noise seemed not to have ended yet, as it continued to be heard in the distance, accompanied by quite intensive gunshots.

After only half a minute, the gunshots that were still ringing out quickly decreased in frequency until they completely disappeared.

This was not a good phenomenon, and Wang Ziming felt nervous.

"boom!!"

Immediately afterwards, a violent roar sounded, and the airflow from the explosion rushed to the surroundings and was blown away to the position of Wang Ziming and others.

Looking at the rustling branches above, several superpowers present noticed something was wrong.

Wang Ziming raised his hand to signal the team to stop advancing.

Since the last explosion, there has been no sound from the evacuating troops in the distance.

I'm afraid that something unexpected happened and the entire army was wiped out.

If Wang Ziming heard correctly, the previous explosion should have been caused by a thermobaric grenade.

This is a grenade that uses the temperature and pressure effects of explosives to cause a large-scale detonation.

The power is more than ten times that of ordinary grenades.

The enemy's strength must have exceeded their expectations, as they had even used thermobaric grenades.

Wang Ziming's eyes were fixed on the surrounding woods. He did not think that thermobaric grenades alone could kill the attacking creatures.

I and others must be vigilant. The mysterious alienated creatures have obviously noticed the retreat of humans.

He planned to take this opportunity to cause them some trouble, and his artillery squad would definitely bear the brunt.

The previous action was probably to find the location of himself and others, so he bumped into the evacuation team in the distance.

"Whoosh!!"

A white shadow flashed in front of Zhang Daoling's sight and disappeared into the woods.

Is that it?!

Zhang Daoling couldn't help but think in his mind that if the giant shadow that made him suffer many losses that day was really the other party, then all these actions could be completely explained.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, brewing airflow, and prepared to attack the enemy.

"Huh~"

Hot air came out of the artillery soldier's mouth. I wonder if it was his imagination, but he felt that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower.

In fact, this was not his illusion, because Katein, who was wearing a robe, also noticed this phenomenon.

It clenched the staff in its hand and shook it around a few times. Suddenly, the dim green gem on the top of the staff suddenly lit up and burst into bursts of light.

Kate was startled and spoke quickly.

[There is a large-scale surge of energy in the surrounding area. The enemy is using his abilities. Master, be careful!!]

It tapped the staff in its hand and activated a translucent energy shield around Wang Ziming.

Wang Ziming said rather helplessly.

[Katein, rather than me, you should provide energy shields to the artillerymen in the rear. Their bodies are much more fragile than mine.]

The orc mage Katein also suddenly understood, and hurriedly pointed his staff at the artillery squad behind him, triggering a giant energy shield that enveloped them.

[I was negligent, but I still believe that your life, Master, is more important than these ordinary humans.]

The orc warrior on the side, Oldham, pulled out the double swords from his waist and said angrily.

[Kate, the master and this group of humans have protective shields. Should I have one too? 】

Facing Oldham's question, Katein replied indifferently.

[You are thick-skinned, so you don’t need it, right? And how many times have I told you, remember to add Mr. Mage when you talk to me, do you understand? 】

Oldham added blazing flames to his two swords and said impatiently.

[I understand, I understand, dear Master Katein, oh, my respected Master Master, how about you please give me a protective shield? 】

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Wang Ziming in front had no choice but to speak.

[Kate, give Odum an energy shield.]

As he spoke, he took out a glass bottle from his waist and threw it towards Katein.

[Use this to make up for the consumption of mana.]

Kate raised her thick palm, caught the thrown glass bottle smoothly, and put it away carefully.

Immediately, he said to Wang Ziming with great gratitude.

[Thank you Master, I will give this savage boy blessings. 】

He lightly waved the black staff and pointed it at the orc warrior, in the direction of Odum, and an oval passport appeared around him.

[Bastard! Damn nerd, for the sake of my master, I won’t argue with you this time.]

Obviously, Oldham was very dissatisfied with Kate's name for him.

[What did you say!? You actually called the great mage a nerd? 】

Wang Ziming continued to speak helplessly.

[Alright, the enemy is now, so stop arguing.]

Due to the host's kindness, the two calmed down the argument that was about to break out.

To be honest, this kind of tone of disapproval has often appeared since a long time ago.

This is partly due to the incompatible personalities of the two orcs, but more importantly, it is due to the mutual contempt between the warrior and mage professions in their original worlds.

As the saying goes, warriors look down on the weakness of mages, while mages look down on warriors' brute force in combat.

"break!"

During the argument between the two, Zhang Daoling, who was still on guard, took the lead in launching an offensive.

A large amount of air flow turned into a violent shock wave as it swung out its fist, rushing towards the trees in front.

"Peng!"

The dense branches and leaves were instantly stirred into pieces by the impact, making it impossible for the creatures lurking inside to hide.

A silver figure jumped out and appeared in front of everyone.

It turned out to be a giant silver wolf, with sharp claws and a strong cold air emanating from its body.

Wang Ziming was sure that the rapidly dropping temperature around him was the work of the other party.

Zhang Daoling also looked closely at the creature opposite, but there was a hint of disappointment in his heart, but he was more relaxed.

So it wasn't it?

At some point, the giant white wolf seemed to have become a demon-like existence in Zhang Daoling's mind.

Zhang Daoling shook his head and cheered up.

Although he was no longer facing a white giant wolf, the silver-white giant wolf in front of him was equally difficult to deal with.

Zhang Daoling could feel a certain sense of oppression from the other party. This wolf was stronger than himself.

It's a bit strange to say that on that day, I only felt a similar sense of oppression from the giant white wolf.

How come now, even the giant silver wolf has such a level of oppression?

Thinking of the group of raptors whose strength had increased, Zhang Daoling couldn't help but think of a possibility.

Could this be related to the alienated fruit?
