MEIWITA Chapter 796: Suffer a Sneak Attack

It was a bit troublesome to divide the military merits of the twenty people they killed among the forty of them, so Lou Mu Yan proposed to draw lots to decide.

The people who drew the winning lots exchanged their mental energy with the badges of the red party, while neither Lou Mu Yan nor her friends drew any.

However, they didn’t care. After leaving the Desert of Death, many people would return to the base to rest, but they had decided to continue to wander.

When they separate then, they’d be able to accumulate military merits much easier.

Not long after Lou Mu Yan and her party left the oasis they battled.

Suddenly, from the green leaves of many huge trees in the oasis, several petite, healthy-looking, green-skinned little people jumped down.

“Boss, those people’s sword arrays are very powerful.” A thin green little person said: “Should we go back and tell the captain now?”

The leader was green all over, only his face and hair were red, and he looked like a fruit on a tree.

He said thoughtfully: “They seemed to know that that red team was nearby. They were obviously prepared to fight here.”

A person behind him asked: “Do they have a magic tool or someone with special talents that could detect the aura of our red team’s badge?”

They had heard that there were such people hiding in the previous few sessions of the Foreign Battlefield.

“Fortunately, we gave the badges on our body to the captain before we came here to investigate, otherwise we might’ve been discovered.” Another person said with a shudder.

The leading red-faced man stroked his chin and said: “There are more than forty of them, each of us could share a portion of the military merits we collect.”

“Then should we intercept them?” A little green man said excitedly.

The red-faced man shook his finger and said: “No hurry, let’s report this to the captain first. The only way to win against them is to sneak attack.”

The opponent’s combined attack and defence sword array were very powerful, and he couldn’t find any flaws even after watching it for so long. If they sneak attacked, killed a few people, and affected the performance of the sword array, then they’d be more confident in winning.

“Yes! We’ll all listen to Boss.”

After they finished speaking, they bounced and landed on the leaves of the large trees, then disappeared in this space after a few jumps.

In the oasis, Lou Mu Yan and the others encountered several waves of demonic beast attacks, but they were all killed by sword arrays they arranged.

The more than forty people cooperated more and more tacitly, and now Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu didn’t even need to independently arrange killing arrays to kill the besieging demonic beasts.

After walking for about twenty days, they finally arrived at the border of the oasis.

“Are we finally going to leave the oasis? I hate the desert.” A pupil of the Mercenary Union sighed.

A pupil of the Array Alliance added: “Exactly! So hot and dry and dusty, enough is enough.”

“Most importantly is that the demonic beasts in the desert are more difficult to deal with than those in the oasis.” The Seventh Prince said with furrowed brows.

The demonic beasts in the desert had thick skin and flesh, and they were also very good at camouflage. Many times, they were luckily cautioned by Lou Mu Yan’s spirit pet on her shoulder, otherwise they’d have stepped into the desert trap their opponents arranged.

He guessed that the death rate in the other teams should be very high—fortunately, they hugged Ninth Younger Brother’s thigh tightly when they came, otherwise they’d be miserable.

Lou Mu Yan listened to the conversations. She also disliked the desert environment outside, but she had no choice but to walk it.

Just as she was about to speak, an inexplicable heart palpitation suddenly rose, and she looked around vigilantly.

“Mo Yan, I suddenly have a feeling that it’ll be very dangerous if I enter the last part of the forest.” Lou Mu Yan looked normal while telepathically speaking with Mo Yan.

Her sixth sense towards danger was very strong and effective, and she had avoided many life-threatening crises because of this feeling.

There was also a trace of confusion in Mo Yan’s dull eyes. He thought for a bit and said: “I also think there’s something wrong here. There’s not even a single insect, which is unreasonable.”

As they walked along, he discovered that there were insects with strong vitality in the woods of each oasis, or insect eggs formed before the evolution of a demonic beast, but there were none here, and the quietness was abnormal.

“Can’t you feel the auras of other people?” Lou Mu Yan asked with slightly furrowed brows.

Mo Yan said: “In the entire, vast universe, there are countless interfaces at the same level as Guang’ling World. Among them, some of the alien races on the interfaces have very powerful talent for hiding their auras, which makes it difficult for even us Spirit Devourers to find.”

“Then I’ll remind the others to be careful.” Lou Mu Yan said after a while.

“Good, it’s best to set up a sword array as soon as there’s an abnormality.” Mo Yan paused, then said: “Get them to hold the talisman and array balls in their hands. If there’s a surprise attack from an alien race, toss them out first to disrupt the opponent’s deployment.”

“Yes, talismans and array balls must be held first.” Lou Mu Yan replied.

Then, in order to guard against the fact that there might be opponents from the red team hiding around, she sent a voice transmission to everyone to be careful.

The group were startled when they heard her words, but she had already said in advance not to reveal any strangeness. Everyone restrained their nervousness and quietly took out the array ball and talisman from their interspatial rings and held it in their hands secretly.

Ming Xiu wasn’t as sensitive as Mo Yan and Lou Mu Yan, but he also discovered that there was no sign of any creatures here and was about to remind everyone when he heard Lou Mu Yan’s telepathic words.

There was a slight arc on his lips—he and Yan’er truly had perfect tacit understanding.

The group didn’t know if there was any danger ahead or not, and approached the woods at the same speed, but they were obviously much more vigilant than before.

After walking into the woods, there was nothing unusual. A cool breeze blew slowly, keeping the heat of the desert out.

The group kept moving forward at an even speed. Time passed little by little, and four hours later, they approached the edge of the border between the oasis and the desert.

Many people felt a little relaxed, thinking that Lou Mu Yan might have felt wrong.

Of course, they didn’t put away the array ball and talisman in their hands. After all, some demonic beasts would also lie in ambush outside the oasis and kill those who entered the Foreign Battlefield.

Lou Mu Yan, Ming Xiu, Ye Qing Han, and Su Jin looked at each other—all four of them had an indescribable feeling that danger was approaching.

[SHIU SHIU!]

Suddenly, streaks of white light flashed from the surrounding large trees at an astonishingly fast speed.

“AH!!” Several people in Lou Mu Yan’s group uttered screams and fell to the ground, the talismans and array balls in their hands yet to be thrown out in time.

Those were the ones that had relaxed before, and the others who had maintained a high degree of mental concentration immediately crushed the defensive array ball given by Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan.

[BANG BANG!] White light fell on the covers activated by the array balls in an instant, and if they were a step slower, what awaited everyone would definitely be death.

When the white light hit the cover and the energy began to dissipate, everyone realised that they were powerful arrows.

Lou Mu Yan squinted at the arrows whose light was fading, and immediately shouted to everyone: “Launch an attack to knock down the arrows and retreat immediately.”

She took the lead in slashing at the arrows outside the cover, then stepped back dozens of paces.
