Chapter 555: Discovering the Reconnaissance Team

A goat-horned Demon grabbed the ankle of a dying Orc, its keratinized fingertips slicing through the muscle texture like a scalpel.

Accompanied by a teeth-gritting tearing sound, the entire Orc hide was peeled off completely, and the still-twitching flesh body was tossed aside.

The Demons emitted a resonant shriek, piling the skinned Orc corpses together.

"Roar—!"

A Demon covered in scales tore open the last Orc-hide tent, its three-toed Claw ripping open the belly of a pregnant female Orc.

The unformed fetus was skewered on a Serrated Spear, and black flames rose between the Demon warrior's horns, burning the Orc cub into a charred lump of meat.

Several Skin-Peeling Demons were using Hook Sickles made from spines to pry up the skin of a Priest Apprentice, their dark purple long tongues licking the still-twitching muscle tissue, and began skillfully peeling the skin off this Priest Apprentice.

Hundreds of skinned Orc corpses hung like banners on racks set up by the Demons.

"It's a Demon unit!"

After seeing this scene, a soldier of the Reserve Army could not help but grip the Laser Gun in his hand tightly, his eyes filled with anger.

"This shouldn't be a large Demon force; it looks more like a team sent specifically to wipe out this Buluo."

Cheng Nie looked at the image before him and began to analyze.

Just at this moment, Cheng Nie suddenly discovered that the Demon leader's gaze was looking toward the location of the Reconnaissance Drone, and his heart tightened for no reason.

"Retreat quickly! Forget the drone! Retreat! Wasn't it said that the Reconnaissance Drone had strong stealth capabilities?"

Cheng Nie immediately gave the order; the six people boarded their respective Taurus Attack Vehicles, a slight humming sound arose, and the three Taurus Attack Vehicles drove rapidly in the direction they had come from.

While driving the Taurus Attack Vehicle, Cheng Nie poked his head out to look back and discovered that the mass of Black Qi in the sky was surging toward them.

"Damn it! The Demons have discovered our tracks! They are chasing us!"

"Captain, what should we do?"

The gunner on Cheng Nie's vehicle looked at the surging Black Qi and asked Cheng Nie in a hurried tone.

"We must return to the Legion as soon as possible. Since this Demon unit has appeared, it means the main Demon force must not be far from there! We must tell the Colonel this news!"

Cheng Nie's knuckles turned white from excessive force, praying that this Taurus Attack Vehicle could go a little faster.

"Go to hell! Demons!"

The gunner in the rear saw the Demons with bat wings on their backs flying in the sky and chasing them rapidly; he raised the Laser Gun in his hand and quickly pulled the trigger.

Beams of Laser Beam flew into the sky, and several flying Demons turned into wisps of Black Qi after being hit by the Laser Beam, but more flying Demons began throwing Black Flame Fireball at the three Taurus Attack Vehicles.

"Maintain triangular formation!"

Cheng Nie roared into the Communication Device built into his tactical helmet, his Adam's apple rolling up and down with the swallowing motion.

"Hahaha, it really is Humans! As expected of Lord Leader, he knew there would be Humans here!"

A flying Demon opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and said flatteringly to the Demon leader beside it.

"Hmph, I discovered them observing us on the mountain in the distance long ago, but I didn't expect these Humans to actually react; it's truly unexpected."

As he spoke, the Demon leader raised his right claw, and a wisp of Black Fog flew toward a Taurus Attack Vehicle.

The Black Fog enveloped a gunner, and the gunner suddenly began to cough violently, dark red blood foam splashing onto the sight of the Laser Cannon.

"Damn... that Black Fog..."

Before the words were finished, the Black Fog enveloping the gunner spread to the driver's side, and the Taurus Attack Vehicle suddenly swerved like a drunkard.

The driver felt the presence within the Black Fog and immediately shouted to Cheng Nie on the communication channel.

"Captain, it seems we can't leave! You guys go quickly! We will attract some of their attention!"

"Wait, you..."

Cheng Nie watched helplessly as that Taurus Attack Vehicle began to break away from the team, and some flying Demons were attracted by this Taurus Attack Vehicle.

Four flying Demons pounced toward the separated Taurus Attack Vehicle gunner; they swung down with sharp Claws, but that gunner endured the physical discomfort, turned the Laser Cannon muzzle, and aimed at them.

"Go to hell! Demons!"

A dazzling light flashed, and the four flying Demons instantly disappeared in the air, leaving only residual Black Qi.

"Oh? An interesting weapon!"

Seeing this, the Demon leader revealed a look of interest in his crimson eyes.

Cheng Nie watched the direction in which that Taurus Attack Vehicle disappeared, with a Laser Beam flying out from time to time, but soon, there was no more movement from that side.

Suppressing the feeling of sadness, the two Taurus Attack Vehicles continued to speed along.

Soon, Cheng Nie discovered a Human unit appearing ahead, and regardless of which unit it was, Cheng Nie immediately turned the direction of the Taurus Attack Vehicle and drove toward that Human unit.

It was not until they were close that he discovered it was a Cadian Regiment, and the other side was also looking vigilantly at the two Taurus Attack Vehicles driving toward them.

"We are the reconnaissance team of the Reserve Army 2nd Regiment, having gone to scout the situation of the Demon unit. The other side has already discovered us, and we need to bring the recorded footage back to the Legion!"

Cheng Nie shouted loudly when he was about 100 meters away from this Cadian Regiment.

Unexpectedly, a Cadian Lieutenant directly waved his hand at them and shouted.

"Leave quickly! We are acting under the Emperor's decree to eliminate the Alien!"

And among this group of Cadian soldiers, a silver-white figure was exceptionally conspicuous.

After the two Taurus Attack Vehicles passed the Cadian Regiment, this Cadian Lieutenant shouted loudly.

"Troopers! The Emperor witnesses our Loyalty! For the Emperor! Open fire!"

The defensive line constructed by the Cadian soldiers began to open fire on those Demons in the Black Fog.

The turrets of fifteen Chimera Armored Vehicle rotated simultaneously, the Multi-laser fired rapidly, and beams of Laser Beam flew toward the Black Fog, lighting it up.

The flying Demon swarm charging at the front turned into wisps of Black Qi under this dense attack, and the Demons behind also threw Black Flame Fireball at these Humans.

The Black Fog spread rapidly, surrounding this Cadian Regiment.

"For the Emperor!"

The Lieutenant's roar was drowned out in the artillery fire.

The Cadian soldiers roared as they opened fire on those Demons with the Laser Gun in their hands, and when they encountered Demons at close range, they fought with Monomolecular Combat Knife or Chainsword.

The humming of the Chainsword and the shrieks of the Demon intertwined.

The assault trooper wearing a respirator leaped over the cover, held the Chainsword in their hand high, and sliced open the body of a lesser Demon in the Black Fog.

Ganjiedake held the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand high and charged toward the Demon commander amidst the group of Demons.

Psionic Lightning emerged around the Holy Shield Power Armor on his body, and the scorched Demon commander let out an inhuman shriek.

"Die! Weak Human!"

The Demon commander's Claw tore open two soldiers, and dark red entrails dangled and swayed on the Claw.

Its three-toed giant foot crushed the corpse of a Cadian soldier, and it saw that Human wearing silver-white Armor charging toward it.
