After escaping the encirclement of the Na'vi people, Chen Feng and the others quickly changed their route along the mountain path.

They successfully evaded the "Darkborn" sniper's firing range and arrived at the location where the encrypted military distress signal originated.

......

As soon as you step into this area, the smell of burnt earth and the pungent odor of humus hit you, making your nose feel tight.

The scene before them was even more tragic than anyone had anticipated.

Countless towering trees were brutally cleaved in half, their thick trunks charred black at the break points, with lingering burn marks on the edges, as if they had been ravaged by an invisible force and raging flames simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the armed fighter jet belonging to Reconnaissance Squad 13 was now embedded in a sunken ravine in an eerily twisted posture.

The fuselage was blackened by thick smoke, the wings were broken off at the base, one wing was stuck diagonally in the mud, and the other was crushed by a fallen tree. Scattered fuselage fragments covered the entire open space.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the rainforest, refracting a cold, glaring light onto the debris.

"Be vigilant," Wu Yingguang said.

"Team Leader Wu, it's our fighter jet, and the fighter jet's serial number is also that of Squad 13." Su Wan looked at the AI ​​and analyzed, "But strangely, the fighter jet's armor surface doesn't seem to have been hit by any artillery fire."

Chen Feng stared at the wreckage of the armed fighter jet, then carried his kinetic rifle inside.

The moment Chen Feng stepped into the cabin, he smelled a mixture of blood, stench, and bone-chilling cold.

The scene inside the cabin sent chills down Chen Feng's spine even more than the wreckage outside!

Inside the cockpit of the armed fighter jet, all the alloy instruments were shattered, showing signs of being scratched and torn by a strange, immense force. The metal panels were twisted and turned outwards, and the metal edges were curled up in a grotesque manner.

The alloy seats that were meant to hold the crew members were also warped and twisted, and the high-strength seat belts were even torn off.

Most horrifyingly, the bodies of the two investigators were covered with deep, bone-revealing claw marks and inhuman bite wounds, their faces frozen in extreme terror, as if they had witnessed some incomprehensible horror before their deaths.

What's most chilling is that all their automatic rifles were on the safe side, showing absolutely no sign of being prepared for battle...

"The killer seems to have been inside the armed fighter jet from the beginning; he was someone they thought was one of their own," Chen Feng said to Wu Yingguang and the others who walked in.

"Su Wan, locate the black box of the armed fighter jet and retrieve the last security data."

Su Wan immediately bent down and used the AI's scanning beam to quickly scan the damaged cabin, soon locking onto the black box protected by the deformable alloy.

Once the fighter jet's black box was removed, it was immediately connected to the AI.

"The core data in the black box is damaged. I will decode the cabin surveillance first..." Su Wan said.

As soon as she finished speaking, a shaky but clear image was immediately projected onto the screens of their smart devices.

In the video, two crew members and six reconnaissance team members are organizing data inside the fighter jet. Suddenly, one of the reconnaissance team members, who is near the cockpit, freezes. He slowly turns his head, and beneath his human face, his pupils abruptly turn into eerie green vertical slits. His mouth twists into a wild, anatomically unnatural grin, and his body instantly swells into a massive, jet-black form...

The alloy instrument shattered instantly under the sweeping claws of the demon.

A reconnaissance soldier, his face still frozen in trust for his "comrade," was torn apart by terrifying demonic power in the next instant. His piercing screams were muffled in the cockpit, and blood splattered throughout the entire cabin...

The fighter jet quickly went out of control and crashed into the depths of the rainforest like a piece of scrap metal that had gone out of control...

The surveillance footage ended abruptly there, and everyone in the cabin fell into a deathly silence.

Su Wan's face was deathly pale, and her voice trembled: "It may have infiltrated the plane from the very beginning, disguised as a team member... Squad 13 was slaughtered alive by the demons in the sky."

Chen Feng also said, "The Greedy Demon is a royal demon that can disguise itself as a human. I encountered one when I was in Starfish City, and it was indeed very difficult to deal with, and..."

"And what?"

Chen Feng stared at the scratches inside the fighter jet, his eyes as cold as ice: "I think under these circumstances, it's almost impossible for the reconnaissance team's distress signal to be triggered automatically."

"Could it be that this demon has already infiltrated the base?" Zhao Ye asked.

"No, the base has a very complete anti-infiltration system. The only possible explanation is that after the mission of Reconnaissance Squad 13 was completed, one of the members was replaced by the Greedy Demon."

Wu Yingguang analyzed.

"Su Wan, immediately retrieve the mission log of Squad 13."

"good!"

[Reconnaissance Squad 13 Mission Log: Standard Time Domain TN71-479, Recorder: Team Leader Lin Mo. Sample collection in the Eye of the Beast area has been completed. On the return journey, while passing through the northern airspace of the Eye of the Beast, an abnormally high-density demonic energy fluctuation was detected, with an intensity far exceeding the norm. It has been preliminarily determined to be a large cluster target. The coordinates have been marked. Continue covert reconnaissance.]

[Mission Log of Reconnaissance Squad 13: Standard Time Domain TN71-481, Recorder: Captain Lin Mo. Close reconnaissance confirmed the target is a large-scale demonic legion, containing multiple high-level demonic energy signatures. The legion is in a combat formation. Emergency evacuation has been initiated.]

[Reconnaissance Squad 13 Mission Log: Standard Time Domain TN71-483, Recorder: Captain Lin Mo. The Behemoth's Eye sample has been successfully sealed. The demon is pursuing our fighter jets; the chance of escape is 0. An encrypted military distress signal has been sent, requesting base support…]

"This is the last day the database recorded the upload; there are no further log entries after that," Su Wan sighed.

"These ordinary soldiers have done their best to escape from the demon royal family and get here. But we still don't understand why the distress signal was only sent three weeks later," Wu Yingguang said.

"The demons know nothing about our machinery. Even if they use elemental control, there's absolutely no need to suppress the communication signal for three weeks, is there?" Zhao Ye asked.

Just then, Chen Feng's gaze fell on the cockpit of the fighter jet, where there seemed to be a faint but extremely familiar scent.

Suddenly, Chen Feng walked to Su Wan's side and watched as the AI ​​in her hand was analyzing other databases.

Chen Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he quickly tapped Su Wan's smart screen with his fingertip, bringing up the structural diagram of the fighter jet's communication module.

"No, when the No. 13 reconnaissance team was carrying out high-risk missions, in addition to the main distress signal carried by the fighter jets, each person was equipped with a portable emergency signal transmitter. The signal frequency of that transmitter was different from the main signal, but it could guarantee a reception range of 10 kilometers."

Su Wan suddenly realized what was happening and immediately switched the AI's analysis frequency. Her fingertips flew across the light screen, instantly straightening the previously chaotic and jumping code: "You mean... they might have sent out two distress signals at the same time?!"

Chen Feng's "Eye of Foreknowledge" immediately swept over an inconspicuous energy spot in the corner of the cabin. The energy was covered with a faint glow, which was the residual energy of the portable signal transmitter.

"As a member of the demon royal family, the Greedy Demons were fully capable of using their domain power to intercept and destroy the Lord's distress signal, but they overlooked the portable signal transmitters carried by the team members."

Wu Yingguang seemed to have thought of something, and his voice instantly turned gloomy.

"This explains why the distress signal had demonic energy fluctuations; the signal was sent after the fighter jet crashed."

"So...it was a different group of people who led us here," Chen Feng said, frowning.
