As the thing in the sky flew closer, its appearance also appeared in the eyes of Chen Chuan and his party.

This is a bird that is unique to the land. It has a long, sharp and curved beak. Its head is wrapped in a strong exoskeleton, and its eyes are hidden deep inside.

The feathers all over its body have a gray-white texture, with sharp thorns on the edges. At first glance, it looks like it is covered with a layer of light and slender bone feathers.

After Chen Chuan saw this thing, Jie Pingshang immediately revealed its origin.

This is a "skeleton bird", a very aggressive and vindictive bird that is common in the blending area. At least hundreds of species have been discovered so far, and the weaknesses and methods of dealing with it have been revealed in a timely manner.

Lieutenant Dai, who was driving the car, didn't look back. He just glanced through the reflector of the car. He didn't look very nervous and said in a normal tone:

"Sir, please sit still. I have to speed up. We often have these fusion creatures coming here. We can ensure the safety of both of you."

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and instantly increased the speed of the car. It was only a three- to four-minute drive from the fortress. As long as he was within range of the fortress, there would be no danger.

At this time, the covers in several carriages of the train were suddenly lifted, and the fixed steering machine guns above were raised and aimed at the sky.

However, the skeleton bird seemed to know the power of the machine gun. It did not dare to approach the train. Instead, it turned in the air and reached the top of a simple sentry post.

At this time, you can see that a thick tree trunk is actually clasped in its claws. As it passes by the guard post, its claws loosen and fall with a loud bang, immediately smashing the wooden roof of the watchtower.

Got a mess.

After completing this move, the skeleton bird let out a sharp whistle, suddenly increased its speed, and rushed forward, apparently trying to pass through the fire gap between the fortress and the train.

Judging from the direction, this will definitely pass above Chen Chuan and the others.

Chen Chuan was originally a little worried about Chao Ming, but he saw that Chao Ming quickly flew into the sky at first, and the skeleton bird was not interested in Chao Ming at all. The purpose of coming this time seemed to be just to destroy the watchtower.

This thing arrived above them in a moment. At this moment, they could already see the hard and sharp claws hidden under the abdomen and the sense of pressure. Counselor Pei immediately pulled out the gun, turned on the safety, and aimed it with both hands.

Above.

The skull bird originally seemed to just want to go straight through, but when it saw the military uniforms on Counselor Pei and Second Lieutenant Dai, the eyes embedded in its skull suddenly turned red, and suddenly it slowed down, and a shadow quickly approached them.

Chen Chuan looked at the huge wings that blocked the light, and his eyes suddenly overflowed with light, flickering slightly, and a burst of spiritual power was sent out in an instant.

This striking hammer directly hit the spirit of the skeleton bird on the opposite side. The red light in its eyes suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that it lost consciousness in an instant.

But at this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky. It was Chao Ming who swooped down from the sky. His sharp alienated claws made an oblique cut at his neck, and he wiped it away with a swipe.

A huge gap!

Almost at the same time, a bang of gunshots was heard from the other side of the fortress, and a large hole burst open in the wings and belly of the skeleton bird at the same time, and the flesh and blood splattered in the body sprayed outward.

Chen Chuan turned his eyes and saw a major officer standing there on an open outer platform of the fortress, holding a large-caliber double-barrel shoulder gun on his shoulder, and green smoke was emitting from the muzzle.

The skeleton bird seemed to have finally regained some consciousness due to the stimulation of the injury, but it was already too late at this time. It fell from the sky without even a moment of struggle, hit the ground heavily, and caused a splash.

of soil.

Immediately, prepared soldiers rushed out of the fortress in vehicles and passed by Chen Chuan and the others. When they got close to the skeleton bird, they all got out of the car and bombarded the big bird with large-caliber guns.

The beating made his body tremble, and it took half a minute to stop.

It's no wonder they are so cautious. The creatures in the blending area all have alienated tissues and are very tenacious. If they are not killed on the spot, they may be able to recover again.

A chirping sound was heard in the sky, Chao Ming circled twice in the sky, landed, and stood on the car door beside Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan stroked its soft feathers, and he felt Chao Ming's excitement. After all, this was the latter's first time fighting against a similar creature that was much larger than him, and he even managed to injure it.

But it is indeed worthy of praise. This time the attack was decisive and sharp, just after his mental attack, they cooperated very well.

In fact, if the skull bird's head wasn't protected by a hard exoskeleton, this attack could have easily ripped off its skull.

With the alienated tissue, Chao Ming can turn flexibly, fly quickly, and attack sharply, which are the advantages of his small size.

But he estimated that Chao Ming would grow even taller. In the past, the external environment limited his alienated tissue and body shape. After entering the blending place, it might be further stimulated.

At this time, the open-top off-road vehicle had already entered the fortress, and the major who fired the gun came down from above and saluted them.

"I am Bao Heheng, the security major here. I am responsible for the security of the passage. Welcome you. I just frightened you two. I'm sorry."

Counselor Pei said: "Major Bao's shot was very timely."

Bao Heheng said seriously: "Counselor Pei, please rest assured that I will definitely be able to kill the skeleton bird before it attacks you."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly, believing this, because he had noticed it before. Ever since the big bird appeared, this man had been taking aim, trying to find the right opportunity to shoot, and he was very focused and determined. This was a sign of his own

Only those with extreme confidence will have it.

Bao Heheng then turned to Chen Chuanchuan: "This is Director Chen, hello. We have received the highest order from the Ministry of Defense, requiring us to cooperate with your mission, and some preliminary preparations have been made."

He looked at Counselor Pei again and said, "You two, if you have any other requests, please feel free to ask. Our garrison will do our best to meet them."

Chen Chuanchuan: "That would be troublesome."

After being polite, Major Bao led the two of them to the fort chief. On the way, Chen Chuan asked about the situation here and learned that attacks like the one just outside were common, because there was a large unexplored area in front of the No. 3 fort.

There are frequent migrations within the blending area, and there are often some creatures that have just migrated here, treating this place as their own territory and coming to attack them.

Often as long as one of the group creatures is killed, subsequent attacks will be continuous, but the garrison here has long been used to it.

After Counselor Pei went to hand over the situation with the top officer here, he then went to the intelligence station. When he came back, he said: "Director Chen, it will take some time to compile the information ahead, and it's getting late. Let's go eat first.

"

Chen Chuan agreed and went to the resident restaurant with Counselor Pei for dinner.

There's nothing much to say about the food at the Fusion Ground, but as they are senior military officers, they finally pay a little attention to their taste.

After dinner, Counselor Pei came to the combat intelligence room. The irrelevant personnel had already left. A map hung in front of him, and important locations and routes had been marked in advance.

Counselor Pei said: "The communications room did not receive any information from Captain Xu, but there was no other information either.

He sighed, "There is no news, so let's consider it good news."

Chen Chuanchuan: "Captain Xu is a very experienced person and is very good at preserving his own strength. We can trust him."

Counselor Pei nodded, "Yes, I have something to show Director Chen."

He walked to the map, picked up a baton, walked to the map, and said: "Based on some of the intelligence obtained previously and the analysis of our analysis team," he used his baton to point somewhere on the map.

Quite a bit.

"People from the Federation, or the Linax Federation, should have set up a camp here.

Over the past few days, the communication station has observed that airships have been passing in that direction one after another during this period, on average once a day. The airships all depart from various company branches located in the blending area, so it can be almost determined that that camp

This is the rear area where they explore unknown areas.”

Chen Chuan took a look and saw that the place was in the lower right corner of the unexplored area, and a cross lightning sign was marked on the map.

From a large perspective, this place is located on a road that can directly connect to the rear, and more than ten kilometers from this location, you can enter the unknown area.

It seems that the people of the Federation and the Linax Federation are planning to take a step-by-step approach this time instead of rushing in all at once.

This is normal. If you don't arrange the retreat channels and supporting forces in advance, you may not be able to successfully carry away the leftovers even if you get them. Moreover, with a camp, you can continue to provide support and supplies to the front.

But on the other hand, he stared at that position. If this camp could be destroyed, it would definitely be a heavy blow to this generation, and at least it would cut off their support for the front.

He changed his mind and moved his eyes to the other side. When he saw a blue mark, he asked: "This should be the station we established, right?"

Counselor Pei said: "Originally, yes, but..."

He shook his head, "Five days ago, there was a raid by the elite cavalry of the old imperial family. The camp was severely damaged. In the past few days, it has been under constant attack.

But we have not given up there, and have been trying to find ways to maintain it, but we are temporarily unable to send troops to support and pick up Captain Xu and his party who entered it, let alone deter the people from the coalition and federation on the other side."

His face turned serious at this time: "The superiors suspect that the old imperial family may have reached a limited cooperation with the coalition this time and wants to expel us first."
