Armed fighter jets tore through the air at high altitude, speeding toward the signal source 17 kilometers to the west.

On the holographic projection in front of them.

The region's demonic energy concentration curve showed a steep upward trend, and the originally light purple energy cloud map had spread into a deep purple vortex, as if it were about to devour the entire sky.

"No human could survive here," Chen Feng murmured.

"The demonic energy concentration has exceeded the threshold, reaching 2.3 times the standard threshold!"

Su Wan's voice trembled slightly, but her fingertips continued to frantically operate on the control panel.

The moment the words left his mouth, the fighter jet suddenly began to shake violently...

All the warning lights in the cockpit flashed, and the piercing alarm drowned out everyone's conversation.

[WARNING! High-level demonic energy detected! High-frequency energy pulse detected; system is analyzing simultaneously.]

Seeing beams of demonic attack shooting from the forest below, Wu Yingguang jerked the control stick, causing the fighter jet to suddenly roll to the left, barely avoiding the demonic energy attack.

"We've been ambushed."

Wu Yingguang immediately made a hand gesture, instructing Jack to contact the base immediately and report the situation here.

[Base Command, this is Falcon 7. En route to target coordinates, it has encountered a demonic attack and has been confirmed to have entered a demonic air defense blockade zone. Current coordinates: X-739, Y-412!]

[Duplicate! Enemy high-level demonic energy aggregates are continuously firing, fighter jet systems are under severe interference, confirmed to have entered the demonic air defense blockade zone, coordinates X-739, Y-412!!]

Just as the fighter jet barely escaped through the gap in the crimson shock beam.

Wu Yingguang's knuckles were white as he gripped the control stick tightly, intending to increase altitude and completely escape the air defense blockade of the Demon's position.

But the next second!!

Suddenly, a dozen or so enormous figures appeared in the clouds above.

Their wingspan exceeds twenty meters. Although their skeletons are skeletal, their wing membranes are a deathly dark purple, and their claws and beaks are surrounded by demonic energy that originates from the same source as this airspace.

Like a hunter emerging from the abyss, it silently circled around to the clouds above the fighter jet under the cover of the clouds.

Before anyone could react, the lead Shadow Winged Dragon suddenly flapped its wings and swooped down, its massive, barbed claws slamming into the fighter jet's left engine bay!

"Bang—!"

A deafening metallic ripping sound instantly drowned out the alarm. The outer shell of the fighter jet's left engine nacelle was violently torn open by the Shadow Wing Beast's giant claws, and the sharp barbs even embedded themselves deeply into the alloy fuselage.

After a huge explosion.

The hands on the instrument panel in front of Wu Yingguang and Jack suddenly started swinging wildly, and the fuselage plummeted like a kite with a broken string. Everyone in the cockpit was pressed into their seats by the enormous centrifugal force.

Even the control panel next to Su Wan sparked, and the screen went black instantly.

"The left-wing engine is destroyed! We're trying to activate the backup ramjet engine, simultaneously coordinating with the right-wing engine for thrust compensation... We can temporarily stabilize the aircraft's balance, but it won't last long," Su Wan reported.

"Activate the energy shield simultaneously; we need to get out of this area as quickly as possible!"

At this moment, Wu Yingguang's forehead veins bulged.

The knuckles of his fingers, gripping the joystick so tightly, turned white to almost transparent.

However, his gaze was fixed on the airspace ahead, and his peripheral vision precisely caught sight of the Shadowwing Beasts swooping down from the clouds ahead—at this moment, they were opening their huge mouths full of fangs, with dark purple energy beams gathering in their throats.

It looks like another cluster attack is about to be launched.

"Jack, full power, lock onto the diving Shadowwing Beast... Su Wan! Once the backup power is activated, immediately direct all energy to the tail thrusters. I need to accelerate to the maximum!"

"clear!!"

"Roger! Cannon aimed!" But Jack had gained control of the armed fighter's cannon, and he immediately pressed the fire button!

The three heavy machine guns on the armed fighter jet instantly spewed out continuous tongues of fire, and dense shells rained down on the diving Shadow Wing Dragon.

Just then, the lead Shadow Winged Dragon suddenly flapped its wings and swooped down, its massive claws covered in barbs slamming into the fighter jet's left engine compartment!

At that very moment, the energy density and quantity of the demonic impacts fired from the ground suddenly increased!

What troubled the Red Fox members even more was that a dozen more Shadowwing Beasts emerged from the clouds ahead. As if they had received a unified command, the dark purple beams of light from their throats instantly merged into a giant torrent of energy, shooting straight towards the nose of the armed fighter jet!

The power of this energy surge is so great that it can even instantly dissolve an armed fighter jet!

Wu Yingguang's pupils constricted sharply! He roared and pulled up the control stick, causing the armed fighter jet to rise rapidly like a kite with a broken string.

Just then, a deafening explosion!

The incredibly powerful beast struck the tail of the armed fighter jet!

"Team Leader Wu! The armed fighter jet is 70% damaged. We only have 60 seconds to escape!"

Su Wan's voice was filled with barely suppressed terror, her fingertips gripping the malfunctioning control panel so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Wu Yingguang's voice was as deep as ice, yet carried an undeniable firmness: "I'll stabilize the fighter jets. Everyone, get into the escape pods!"

"But what about that boy?" Su Wan turned around abruptly, her gaze fixed on the back of the cockpit.

At the very back of the cockpit, the boy left behind by the outpost commander was clutching his knees tightly with both hands. His face was ashen, and he was so frightened that he swallowed his sobs.

Wu Yingguang was startled.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed his eyes.

Just as he was facing a life-or-death decision, Zhao Ye heard a crisp cracking sound and Chen Feng's voice.

"Let me protect him."

Chen Feng ripped off his seatbelt and walked step by step towards the boy inside the swaying aircraft!
