It had been nearly an hour since they entered the forest to explore, and according to the plan, the three teams should have converged at this time, but there was not even a shadow of a team.

"Could it be that out of caution after the loss of contact, you chose to retreat on your own initiative?" Li Huahua turned into a black shadow and attached to Zhao Minglei's broad back.

"The purpose of this exploration is to find the exact location of the 'coral tree', and the second is to understand the environmental changes caused by that unknown space to this forest, and to determine what equipment to wear and what equipment to avoid wearing when entering this forest." Zhao Minglei explained.

"Even though the number of old mechs in the 'Fangs' reserve is not large, they still have a set for the three of us, if we don't wear them on our bodies, will we feel a little unappreciative?" Li Huahua whispered in his ear.

"I understand President Yang Jiaran's good intentions, but I think Master Roquere's instructions should be taken more seriously."

"Are you saying that the last time Roclay explored Sector Five, he instructed us not to bring electronics into Sector Five?" Li Huahua grabbed his back and climbed up and said.

"Yes, even though that old mech is almost powered by magical energy, it still comes with some inconspicuous functions that require electrical power, so it's better not to wear it for the sake of caution."

"Well, I'm actually not very willing to wear them, after all, wearing those heavy mechs on my body will become a burden for those who operate them for the first time in the event of a battle, right?" Li Huahua nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's use it as a last resort."

……

'Huh~' Suddenly, there was movement in the bushes on the side.

"Shh Zhao Minglei immediately raised his hand to stop everyone.

He had already set up hidden illusion traps around his body in advance, and it would be difficult for enemies without a certain level of insight to detect their presence.

"Kill ~ Clear ~ "

"Kill ~ Clear ~ "

……

"Hiss!!" Hearing such a sound coming from the bushes, Zhao Minglei and Li Huahua on his back gasped at the same time.

"Run, run!?" Li Huahua was the first to react.

"Don't! Steady! Zhao Minglei twitched all over, but quickly calmed down.

After all, I've fought with those girls before.,The other party is not the kind of existence that can't be defeated completely.,At least if you try your best to escape, the chance of surviving is still very good.。

"There's illusion, it doesn't matter... There is illusion, it doesn't matter......" is not only comforting himself but also comforting others, Zhao Minglei kept repeating this sentence in his mouth.

"Kill ~ Clear ~ "

The petite and brisk singing and cheering became more and more distinct, and the sound of little shoes trampling on the grass gradually came to the vicinity of the bushes.

"Kill? Clear~" With a melodious singing, the bushes were pushed away by two small hands, and a girl wearing a white *** knot poked her head out of it.

"Little... Child!? One of the expedition members made a startled voice.

"It's not so much a child as a 'Grim Reaper's cub'!" Zhao Minglei tensed his nerves, and his hands were already in a posture ready for battle.

Although the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, because of Zhao Minglei's illusion effect, the girls did not find the exposed figures of the expedition members.

"Wait, they seem to be coming this way!?"

One by one, I saw the girls come out of the bushes, turn around and walk towards the defense line of the squad.

"What the hell!?" Zhao Minglei let out a low voice, "They shouldn't notice us!" ”

"No, maybe it's just a coincidence that you're coming this way! You listen to the tone in which they say it, the tone in which they are more vicious when fighting the enemy, and the tone in which they are calm and melodious when they do not find that the target of the attack is more! Li Huahua whispered.

"You've been observing so closely!" Zhao Minglei couldn't help but say with some admiration.

"I'm a professional assassin after all... This basic skill is still required. ”

In the whispered conversation, the figures of the girls were already close at hand.

"Kill! Purge! Suddenly, they took off the scythe hanging from their backs and held them in their hands.

"Yes, that's the tone!?" The team members asked in unison.

"Damn!!" Li Huahua screamed in surprise and slipped off Zhao Minglei in fright.

"Calm down!" Zhao Minglei stretched out his right hand, grabbed Li Huahua, who almost fell to the ground, and threw out a piece of cloth condensed by black mist with his left hand, which was pasted on the mouths of several team members to prevent them from making a sound to attract the attention of the girls.

'Brush! With the swing of the scythe, the three air slashes came out, passed by Zhao Minglei, and bombarded somewhere not far away.

"Stay guarded!" A familiar exclamation came from not far away.

"It's Sun Linsheng!?" Li Huahua and Zhao Minglei spoke in unison.

"There are three people on the other side, and they are still executing the 'encirclement and suppression array'!" As the vice-captain, Dorgil gave instructions and manipulated the mech to take on a confrontation stance.

In the blink of an eye, the three girls were surrounded by four members of the expedition wearing mechas, and the laser rays were immediately launched, hitting the girls' heads.

"Go help!" Zhao Minglei waved his arm and lifted the illusion concealment.

"Huh!?" Sun Linsheng exclaimed.

"Don't be surprised, you guys go over and help!" Zhao Minglei issued an order.

The members of the third team also joined the 'Encirclement Array', and seven lasers were fired at the girls from all directions in a circular form.

They held scythes in their hands to defend themselves, but the blades turned into molten iron the moment they touched the laser, and then their bodies were irradiated by the laser, and soon they burst into flames!

"Big Squirt!" Sun Linsheng pressed the trigger, and the projectile wrapped in blue flames flew out.

"The Great Underworld!" Zhao Minglei put his hands on the ground, and gray-black magic power emerged from the ground, overwhelmingly attacking the girl in the center of the battlefield.

"Gain-based bonding!" Li Huahua activated the auxiliary magic and turned into a shadow attached to Zhao Minglei's magic arm.

Feeling a sense of power filling his body, Zhao Minglei increased the output of magic power.

Under the laser fire, the girls' movements gradually slowed down, and they were finally wrapped in gray-black monstrous waves, which gradually condensed, and finally formed a black particle ball with a diameter of about two meters.

"Shattered!" Zhao Minglei clenched his hands hard.

'Smack! The ball shattered like eggshells, and the girls fell from the charred pieces of their bodies and crackled to the ground.

"Victory... Victory!? ”
