Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2172: Grassland Encounter

When Qu Siyuan saw the column of smoke rising into the sky, his face suddenly changed.

"Oh no! The Arrow Leaf Tribe might have been attacked. We have to get there as soon as possible."

In fact, he didn't need to remind them. The other people in the team also realized that the tribe was being attacked by outsiders and was probably in the middle of a war.

Several off-road vehicles immediately retracted their tracks, pointed their jet engines diagonally downward, and began to speed across the grassland.

One great advantage of the endless plains is that the ground is flat enough, so special vehicles that can only be used on special terrains can be manufactured, such as ground effect vehicles.

When these off-road vehicles travel long distances in the wilderness, they use tires or tracks, which are more reliable means of transportation. But if they need to travel quickly in a short period of time, the tracks and tires can be put away or even thrown away directly. This time, they threw the tracks and tires onto a car behind them. They themselves activated the thrusters of the ground effect vehicle. They hovered above the grass. Using the ground effect, they could float about half a meter above the ground. They moved forward at high speed with almost no resistance.

The soldiers in the team put on light armor and got on the vehicles flying in the air. They raced across the grassland at a speed that was like flying. In a blink of an eye, the tribe with black smoke on the horizon gradually approached.

Qu Siyuan kept taking deep breaths to calm himself. He had his own selfish reasons for bringing his team to the Arrow Leaf Tribe. His original tribe was very familiar with the Arrow Leaf Tribe's migration route on the grassland, and they would meet three times a year. The two tribes would hold social activities during these three encounters and hold a grand bonfire party.

This is also the norm on the grassland, where the land is vast and the population is sparse. If a tribe on the vast grassland does not move, it may not meet anyone from another tribe for a year.

When they encountered other tribes during their migration, if there was no conflict of interest between the two sides, they would gather together and hold a bonfire party. This was the wisdom passed down from generation to generation. The population of a small tribe like this was only about 1000 people. If everyone chose a spouse within the tribe, it would be easy for inbreeding to occur, leading to disabilities in the offspring.

So while the party was being held, young men and women would also date each other under the bonfire. Usually, men and women who could get together after three consecutive dates would get married, thus bringing new blood to their tribe and avoiding genetic problems within the tribe due to long-term inbreeding.

Qu Siyuan met the girl he loved at such a party. They agreed to get married when they met for the third time.

But after the second meeting between the two tribes, there was no third meeting. Qu Siyuan's tribe was attacked by the Golden Family. All the people in the tribe were captured and sent to the war zone where the underground base was located. They were treated like slaves along the way. Almost all the old, weak, women and children in the tribe had died. When he thought of the past, he felt his heart tighten. His elderly parents died on the way of migration. In order to exchange food for himself, his sister had to take the initiative to accompany the officers of the Golden Family every night, and finally did not survive until the day she was sent to the underground base.

When he thought that his sweetheart might suffer the same tragedy, he couldn't help but clench his fists. Almost all of his family members had died on the way to be escorted, and the girl from the neighboring tribe was probably his only concern now.

"If... you die, then we can only see how many lives of the Golden Family I can exchange for my life."

The ground effect vehicle was moving very fast, and the shouts and cries of killing from the tribe could be heard from afar.

The chief of the Arrow Leaf Tribe had the strength of the peak of the second level. With his talent, he could theoretically cultivate to the third level, but the small tribe lacked cultivation resources. In the end, he could only stop at the peak of the second level. As he got older, it was difficult for him to make further breakthroughs.

At this moment, he was holding a spear, struggling to resist a young man holding a folding fan. The other party was also at the peak of the second level. But the poisonous insects on his body were much more luxurious than his. When he waved the folding fan in his hand, there were gusts of cold wind blowing. Just standing still made him look miserable.

"Young men, hold on with me. The rest of you, run away! Split up and run! Run!"

The bloodstains on the patriarch's body were getting deeper and deeper, and the wounds were becoming more and more numerous. If he continued like this, he would not be able to bear it sooner or later.

He knew that he couldn't hold on like this, so his muscles began to swell violently, and his breathing slowed down, like a steam engine emitting steam, mobilizing a powerful backlash killing move. He was ready to die in this battle.

As for the other members of the tribe, looking at the tribe being burned in the raging flames, no matter how sad they were, they could only flee in all directions as the leader said.

Those who once had some status in the family immediately called their servants, packed their belongings, and let the servants escort them to escape. Perhaps only they could escape, and only they could survive after escaping.

Zhong Yun was not a high-ranking official in the family. She was just a woman at the bottom of the hierarchy who was responsible for taking care of the livestock. Her status was only slightly better than that of a slave. At this moment, she was not a fighting force at all. She couldn't even carry much. How could anyone care about her?

The knights of the Golden Family were riding their war horses and surrounding them in a large circle, just like the riders in the tribe chasing sheep on the grassland.

She could only curl up in despair under the ruins of the tent, praying that she would not be discovered, but how could such a naive thought come true?

On the battlefield, the leader's final roar had already sounded. The enemy's strong men would soon be free, and all the well-known people in the tribe had already begun to flee. Only the slaves and the lowest class were surrounded, and the cavalry drove them like sheep. Searching for any place in the ruins where people might be hiding, Zhong Yun held his breath and dared not make any sound. Watching a pair of feet passing through the light-transmitting gap in front of him. His heart was about to jump out of his chest. He prayed that no one would notice him.

But soon, a burst of rapid breathing sounded beside him.

Then the dog's nose appeared in her field of vision. "Erhei, good job!" A rough male voice came from outside, and then the rubble covering her head was lifted up: "It turns out to be a girl, she looks pretty good. Catch her back. Although we will definitely send her away in the end, we brothers won't be bored on the way."

As they were talking, several people had already surrounded them. Zhong Yun looked at the four or five big men surrounding her in despair. Not to mention that she was unarmed and had no talent for cultivation. Even if they were female warriors in the tribe, there was nothing she could do at this moment.

Thinking of the tragic ending she might encounter in the future, she couldn't help but think of the young man who had promised to stay with her for the rest of her life under the campfire. But how could he appear here at this moment? Even if he really came, it would only cost him one more life.

But just when he was feeling despair, a roar like the roar of a wild beast came from the horizon. The surging sound of the engine was unfamiliar to everyone on the grassland, as no wild animal could make such a unique roar.

In the endless grassland in the distance, several chariots seemed to be suspended in the air. In just a few breaths, they had already rushed to the battlefield.

Before the floating tanks could come to a complete stop, the soldiers wearing light power armor jumped down and fired bursts of shots from their assault rifles.

About one-third of the team that broke out had their genetic locks unlocked. At this moment in the battle, they immediately entered the unlocked state. Seven or eight people jumped off the chariot at the same time and were able to aim at the enemy in mid-air and accurately shoot him in the head.

The cavalrymen who were wreaking havoc in the tribe and surrounding everyone fell down like wheat being cut. In an instant, hundreds of people fell off their horses.

These warriors wearing light power armor rushed into the battlefield like a tiger into a flock of sheep. All those carrying the Golden Family emblem were enemies. Although there were only more than 20 people rushing over, they created an overwhelming momentum.

Qu Siyuan's eyes were blank, and then he turned into a shadow, shuttling through the tribe at high speed, looking for the familiar figure on the road. At the same time, the chainsaw sword in his hand was like the sickle of the god of death, harvesting the lives of enemies one by one.

The tribal warriors surrounding Zhong Yun raised their weapons and looked at the enemies wearing green camouflage armor as if they were facing a great enemy. However, their vision could not catch the fast-moving figures.

Before they could react, one of them was shot through the heart by an arrow from behind. Then the saw teeth turned and tore him in half in an instant. The rest of the people saw this scene and dared not stay here any longer, and fled in all directions.

But the muzzle flash would not give them a chance to escape. With their eyes blank, even without aiming, the trajectory of the bullet was completely calculated. After several consecutive gunshots, several tribal warriors had all fallen to the ground, dead.

Zhong Yun looked at the mechanical warrior that appeared in front of her like a god descending from the sky in astonishment, and was speechless for a moment. The other side seemed to be stunned. The battlefield seemed to be frozen around them, until the one-way transparent visor opened upwards to reveal the face of the person inside, breaking the silence of the moment.

She never thought that when she saw her lover again, he would be wearing streamlined mechanical armor and standing in front of her covered in blood. At this moment, all the words turned into a warm hug. Even through the hard and cold armor, Qu Siyuan seemed to be able to feel the other's heartbeat. But this is a battlefield after all.

"Just stay here and don't move. I'm going to kill a few bastards from the Golden Family."

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell into a daze again, and he left the girl's arms and ran straight to the center of the battlefield. There, the wounded team leader was already dying, but the boy holding the folding fan had not even a speck of dust on his clothes. Just as the clan leader was about to be killed by a single blow, a series of bullets sprayed towards the boy like water.

The young genius at the peak of the second level waved the folding fan in his hand and a solid whirlwind blocked in front of him. Sparks flew when it collided with the bullets, and it blocked all the bullets like a rotating chainsaw.

"Remnants of the underground? How come you are here?" The young man didn't care at first, but when he saw the equipment and the emblems on these people, his face suddenly changed.

Although the coalition forces had always been suppressing the underground alliance on the battlefield, everyone who had actually been on the battlefield knew how difficult it was to fight the regular army of the underground alliance, and the coalition forces had always suffered the most in terms of casualties between the two sides.

If he hadn't been hurt by the beating, he would never have thought of such a despicable trick of constantly sending people into the underground base. This young man actually encountered a tragic battle on the front line and was almost killed. That's why he used his family's connections to transfer himself to the rear to participate in easier tasks.

He never expected that he would run into people from the underground base here. The calm and composed demeanor of a master just now disappeared in an instant. He threw away the fan in his hand, and a black wind like a tornado rose under his feet, sweeping him up and trying to escape.

If they don't run away now, will they stay here and die? Those who are affectionate, flexible and agile, like cheetahs, are definitely elites. Any of these elites can kill the second-level soldiers. If they are wearing heavy equipment, the third-level soldiers can also fight head-on. More than 20 of them rushed in at once. And nearly one-third of them showed godly marksmanship. They are the elite among the elites. What the hell is this? There are only four second-level soldiers in the group he led. It is more than enough to deal with these tribes in remote areas, but if they encounter elite soldiers in the underground base, they are simply sending themselves to death.

But it's not that easy to escape at this time. Qu Siyuan directly ignited the rocket thruster on his body. Although it would waste the expensive equipment once and for all, it would be difficult to replenish it later. But capturing a top-level second-level warrior alive or getting the complete body of a top-level second-level warrior would definitely be a very good trophy for him. It can be said that none of the members of the Golden Family who came to attack the tribe could escape.

In fact, there was no way to escape the exchange of hunter and prey. Not everyone had just jumped off the ground-effect vehicle. This thing could fly at subsonic speed at a height close to the ground, and had already intercepted the escape route. In addition, the ground-effect vehicle could carry heavy firepower, and the vehicle-mounted machine gun was not comparable to the small water pipes in the hands of these soldiers. Under the fire blockade, there was nowhere to escape.
