Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 184: Enemy Tracer

Wilick cried out in alarm. He had just hugged his head and face and activated his Origin Energy to protect his body. The fire wave suddenly lowered and disappeared. Alan also withdrew his bone knife. '"Is this your new ability?" Welik said.

[Re-igniting, a trap-type ability. It can be set up in a certain area in advance. It can be activated when the time limit is reached or when I guide it.] '"I'm not good at setting traps, so I've been thinking about how to use it in active combat these days," Allen smiled as he put the bone knife on his shoulder. "It was a good try. Let's call it Ashes Storm."

"It is indeed formidable. The most formidable thing is that it is difficult to detect it beforehand. By the time it is discovered, it will already be in a sea of fire." Wilick patted his chest. If it wasn't for Ellen's disablement earlier, he wouldn't have been licked so easily by Fire Wave.

With Allen's current strength, the Ashes Storm covered an area of ten meters in diameter with him as its origin. This was his first large-scale killing move in the true sense of the word. If he were to encounter those Berserk Wolf Knights again, Ellen Keeper would give them a deep impression.

If Origin Energy were to increase further, this range could be expanded. Therefore, even though Re-ignition was unable to advance, it could increase its power in disguise by tempering its Origin Energy.

As soon as the training ended, applause sounded from one side of the playground. Coggess clapped his hands and pointed at Alan, "Very energetic. Not bad, I have a job for you."

Alan put away his fangs and walked over to Coggess. "How well have you recovered?" The major said in a low voice.

"Basically, it won't affect the battle."

"Alright, I need you to participate in a mission to dig out the Blade Demon Tribe that might be hiding near the base." Coggess waved his fist and made a hand gesture.

Alan's eyes lit up, "I'm glad to help."

"Alright, come with me. We have already conducted this operation with the other two bases. The three bases will work together and the search area will cover a 500 km area between the bases. The search area of each team is different. I will group you together with Sergeant Mo De and Sergeant Ye Feng. Is there a problem?"

"Of course not."

The two of them walked farther and farther away.

In the afternoon, Allen and the others left the base. This mission was special. In order to make it easier for them to move, the base had allocated a single-person magical energy floating vehicle. The shape of the floating bike is similar to a water motorcycle, but it is much smaller. Driven by Magic Cube energy, two sled-like floors create a counter-gravity field, allowing the floating vehicle to travel over most terrain.

More importantly, it was extremely quiet, reducing the chances of being discovered by the Saber Demon, and increasing the mobility of the search team. It was the most beneficial tool for this operation. The floating bike was easy to operate. After getting a little familiar with it, even a big guy like Broy could easily drive it.

The six-man search team left the base and proceeded according to the area designated by Coggess. The top speed of the floating vehicle can reach 100 kilometers per hour. For reasons of size and power, it is not the fastest land vehicle. But with an acceleration engine at its tail, it doubles in speed when needed, enough to shake off any tracker.

The six floating vehicles spread out like arrows across the wasteland. This was the first time they had driven this kind of vehicle, and Wilick was so excited that he would occasionally scream out loud. It wasn't until he left the base fifty to sixty kilometers away that he calmed down and avoided making too much noise to destroy the mission.

The first day's search ended in nothing. The few of them spent the night in the wilderness looking for a place to go against the wind. A campfire was built in circles, and it had a different flavor. Alan had beaten a dangerous Nether Domain Star species nearby. He looked like a wolf but had two heads. He was much smaller than the Berserk Horned Wolf. The twin-headed wolf was very skinny, but its legs were muscular. After removing its hair, it sliced and roasted on the fire, smelling the fragrance of meat for a moment.

Wilick swallowed his saliva and reached out to catch the well-roasted wolf meat, but he patted Ellen back with the back of his knife to block it.

"Don't be anxious." Ellen shook his head and took out a small iron bottle from his backpack. He poured some powder from it and sprinkled it on the barbecue. "This is cumin powder I stole from the kitchen. I knew it would work."

The cumin powder fell onto the wolf meat and was roasted for the fire, causing everyone to swallow their saliva. Alan raised a piece with a dagger and placed it in stone in front of Lucy. Looking at the strange appearance of everyone's index fingers moving but trying their best to endure it, he laughed and said, "You can eat now."

Immediately, everyone flew over and Mo De took a bite of the wolf meat. He felt that the meat was full of fragrance. The wolf leg muscles were rich in fiber and chewy. "None of us knew that Sergeant Allen's barbecue was as fast as his knife technique," he sighed, his mouth oily.

Ellen also took a piece and chewed, "In the past, when we lived in the wild, we could only make food this way. At that time, there were no seasonings like cumin powder. At most, we could only scrape some salt powder from some stones to flavor it. It tasted far worse than this."

Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned and said, "Aren't you from the Bescot family?"

Allen's identity had not been a secret since he had arrived on Nether Domain Star for nearly half a year. Ye Feng would know that it was not surprising. Alan shook his head and said, "I lived on the surface until I was 10 years old."

Although there were only a few words, everyone could tell that it was definitely not easy to live like that.

"I went forward to capture Babylon and live in that wilderness," Broy said. "But I live with my people. It's hard work, but it's fun."

"You will have a chance to reunite with your wife and children. At that time, you can take them to Babylon." Alan said.

Broy was delighted and then sighed, "It would be great if we could get everyone to Babylon."

Welik patted him on the shoulder and said, "Big man, that's impossible."

"Indeed, it is impossible. As long as the resources are in the hands of the Federation and the nobles forever, the days on the surface will not be improved." Ye Feng suddenly said.

Alan looked at him strangely.

"Sergeant Ye was born on the surface and joined the surface garrison. He was recommended to the Sirius Defense Corps for his outstanding performance, so he had the chance to come to Nether Domain," Maud said.

"Actually, it's hard to blame the Federation," he added. "If the Federation doesn't do this, then what qualifications do they have to fight in the outer realms? If resources are distributed equally, there's no way we can fight a high-level war. In the end, our planet is too poor."

Lucy's ears twitched and she nodded, "My old man used to say the same thing, but he also said that humans are genetically very similar to the Ida Chinese, so you all have amazing potential." However, your race is still too young for the entire universe, and it will take time for you to develop. If everything goes smoothly, your star system will gradually flourish in about three thousand years. "

Everyone smiled bitterly. His Highness said it with ease, but who knew what it would look like three thousand years later?

"It's getting late. Let's all rest. We still have work to do tomorrow." Alan ate the wolf meat clean, clapped his hands, and took out a thermostatic sleeping bag from the floating car.

They spent the night in their sleeping bags.

The next morning, Allen and the others advanced 20 kilometers and entered the Ironwood Hills. This place was named after the withered Iron Wood Tree. Alan's communicator rang as soon as he drove up a hill and saw a dense forest of iron and wood. Coggess's voice appeared on the communicator, "Report your current location."

"I just arrived at the Ironwood Hills." Alan said. Then, he reported a set of coordinates to the navigator on the floating vehicle.

"Very good. There is a small supply team nearby that has lost contact with you. I need you to investigate." Kejess gave Alan a set of coordinates and said, "Be careful. It's possible that the Blade Demon Tribe is moving. Remember, don't act rashly when you discover it. Bring back the news is your mission."

"Yes, sir."

After the communication ended, Allen gestured for everyone to return to his side, "I have work to do."

Arriving at the coordinates designated by Coggess, a transport truck rolled over on the ground. There were traces of blood and two rifles scattered nearby, but no corpses were found. The supplies on the truck were still there, and Lucy got her work records from the driver's seat. The truck was going to another supply base, Edward, before heading to a checkpoint in front of the front line. Unfortunately, it stopped here.

"Look over here." Ye Feng waved his hand from the other side of the truck.

Alan stepped forward and Ye Feng was squatting on the ground. There were clear claw marks on the ground that extended into the depths of the Ironwood Hills. Ye Feng raised his head, "What do you think?"

"It's the Berserk Horned Wolf's claw mark, and it's not light. Otherwise, it wouldn't have left such a clear mark." Alan said.

Hearing this, Mo De nodded and said, "It must be the Berserk Wolf Knight."

"If it's a Berserk Wolf Knight, then do you think there are tribes in the Ironwood Hills?" Ye Feng frowned.

The Ironwood Hill was not small. It was located on the southwest side of Blood Eagle Base, about 200 kilometers away from the base. The hill itself covered an area of five to six hundred square kilometers. Not to mention a tribe of a thousand people, even two or three of them were more than enough.

"Follow me and take a look." Alan said.

After placing the floating vehicle in a concealed location and carrying out the necessary camouflage. The six of them stalked on foot, chasing after the traces left behind by the Berserk Wolf Knights. Clearly, the Wolf Cavalry did not have the habit of dealing with the aftermath, leaving behind Sometimes it was blood, sometimes it was the corner of a piece of clothing that was hooked by the Iron Tree, but the most obvious was the horned wolf's claw prints. They were simply like arrows, guiding the search team in the direction they were heading.

At dusk, when the search team went sixty to seventy kilometers deep into the hills, they saw flames from afar. Alan winked at the others. The six of them dispersed and began to choose from different directions. Allen walked alone, his fangs in his hands, and he rushed forward like a leopard. He had only advanced a dozen meters when a mournful scream suddenly sounded from the front. He took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to charge forward, and approached at a constant speed.

A moment later, he saw a camp.

A huge camp where large numbers of iron trees were pushed down and tents, flagpoles, wooden railings, stoves and bonfire railings were erected on the flat ground. The camp was so wide that Ellen could not see it. All he saw was knife demon warriors roaming around the camp, and occasionally, Berserk Wolf Knights swept past the edge of the camp like ghosts. Alan quickly swept his eyes over the campsite. Among the dozen or so tribal flags that he could see, there were three different patterns.

There were at least three tribes gathered in this camp!
