Chapter 2159 Investigation

In the center of the battlefield, the Federation’s half-mechanical team watched as Fang Heng, enveloped by a blood screen, swiftly flew towards them!

The needles fired from the injection gun were completely blocked by the blood screen!

It was ineffective!

The team captain gritted his teeth and shouted, “Use the light beam weapon! Break through that layer of defense first!”

“Boom Boom! Boom Boom!!!”

The dense beams of light bombarded the blood screen.

It was still ineffective!

The blood screen seemed to be only a thin layer, but it could easily absorb the energy light beam!

Fang Heng was getting closer and closer to them!

Perhaps only a larger focused light-beam weapon could break through that defense.

“Retreat!!”

Seeing this, the team captain shouted softly.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

A series of spatial light spots surrounded the half-mechanical team, and they disappeared before Fang Heng arrived.

Fang Heng frowned.

After the spiritual domain blockade was completely restored, the Federation’s transition efficiency increased significantly.

If he couldn’t win, he would run.

He didn’t have any good countermeasures.

Forget it.

Anyway, the mission only needed to buy time for the tree spirits.

As he thought about it, Fang Heng changed his target and turned around to chase after another Federation’s half-mechanical team.

In fact, the Federation did not have a good way to deal with Fang Heng for the time being.

The atmosphere in the central command room of the Federation was a little heavy when they saw the situation at the scene through the remote surveillance.

“What exactly is that blood screen?”

“We can’t collect samples. We haven’t gotten the data analysis yet. The information we’ve collected is still insufficient. From the nature of the analysis, it’s most likely not an energy light beam…”

“Think of a way to restrain him!”

“Understood!”

“He possesses the ability of spatial teleportation, so find a way to set up a spatial lock.”

“The setup is already in progress. The spatial lock will take at least half an hour…”

One after another, squads of half-mechanical soldiers teleported onto the battlefield.

Fang Heng darted around the battlefield, causing chaos for a while. The number of Licker groups in the rear of the federal team dwindled under the assault until several red game hints refreshed on the retina.

Hint: The player’s current mission-Cover the retreat of the tree spirits has been completed.

Hint: The player’s current mission completion rate: 3515%. The player has obtained 3 tree spirit affinity points and 350,000 tree spirit camp points.

Done!

Mission accomplished!

Fang Heng took one last look at the battlefield and used the secondary space projection to disappear into space under everyone’s watchful eyes.

He would go back first!

After entering the secondary space projection, Fang Heng quickly returned to the town.

As for the next step, he had to hurry to the tree spirits to exchange for the mission contribution points.

After all, his relationship with the tree spirits was already -46. He might be kicked out of the faction at any time.

Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Under the cover of night, Fang Heng stepped out of the stimulating spatial projection, revealing his form in mid-air. He transformed into the shape of a bat and swiftly flew towards the small town.

Outside the research institute, seeing Fang Heng step into the spatial projection and disappear, the Federation’s half-mechanical soldiers felt relieved.

That unkillable monster!

He was finally forced back!

Next, they needed to deal with the remaining Lickers on the battlefield.

“Alright! Everyone, rally your spirits!”

The team commander shouted at the somewhat weary team members.

Everyone rallied their spirits.

Continuously joining the battlefield through transition were large-scale war machines and squads of half-mechanized transformed soldiers from the Federation, continuing to fight against the remaining legions of Lickers.

Even with the targeted anti-virus injection, the Lickers still had a lot of HP. It was very troublesome to deal with them.

Amidst the numerous scattered transitions, two faint blue transition light points weren’t as conspicuous.

The beams gradually dimmed.

Two spawn scouts stepped out from the transition light.

Instantly, the entire battlefield fell into a momentary calm.

The Federation soldiers could not help but look at them.

Spawns!

This was the first time they had seen a living spawn!

The spawns’ appearance differed from that of humans; they possessed bodies that deviated from the norm, towering far above ordinary humans, with long and robust skeletal structures. Their skin exhibited a deep blue-gray hue, hinting at a metallic texture.

Strangely, their facial features were covered by a layer of special gel-like substance, somewhat resembling the faceless entities seen in movies.

The biggest difference between them and humans was that every spawn had strips of fur growing from their head to their tailbone. The fur was long like a cloak, fluttering behind them.

Apart from that, every spawn had an accompanying spirit gemstone in their heart.

With every heartbeat, the spirit gemstone released a rhythm.

Looking at the battlefield that was still going on, the eyes of the spawn scouts revealed some seriousness as they pointed forward.

The fingers of the spawns were long and slender, far longer than that of ordinary humans.

Swoosh…!

Not far away, a Licker that had just been blasted away by a light beam cannon was pulled by an unknown force. It was slowly lifted into the air and floated in front of the spawn scouts.

The spawn scouts, with their eyes flickering beneath the covering gel, showed a hint of concentration. Their fingers lightly tapped in the air a few times.

“Bang!!”

The Licker that was floating in the air exploded!

The exploding blood and flesh didn’t splatter outward. Instead, they were halted by an invisible force, gathering into an unseen spherical mass.

Lines of analytical data appeared in the spawns’ retinas instantaneously.

Suddenly, a glaring red warning appeared on their retinas.

The expressions of the two spawn scouts changed. They looked at each other and then at the battlefield in front of them.

…

In the Federation’s long-range command center, the morale of the Federation’s side was somewhat low.

After a bitter battle, not only did the tree spirits escape, but even Fang Heng was not caught.

“Sir.”

A soldier hurried forward and whispered a few words into the commander’s ear.

The commander’s expression changed slightly, “What? Are you sure?”

“Yes, it seems that the spawns’ reconnaissance and verification team has discovered some signs. They recently entered the combat zone of the central research institute through transition alone to collect samples. They just confirmed to us that traces of the Ouroboros sample have been detected.”

The soldier whispered, “The spawns have already issued a threat warning in the spiritual domain system. Our world has been put into a risk mode. The spawns are about to initiate purification procedures and dispatch cleaning teams for cleanup.”

“Since only partial genetic fragments related to Ouroboros have been detected, and there is no detailed evidence linking it directly to Ouroboros, it is currently only considered a low-level risk mode…”

The commander listened to his subordinate’s report and frowned.

Ouroboros?

Natural disaster?

Was this for real?

Was it really such a coincidence that it had descended into their world?

So Fang Heng was a type of natural disaster?

For a moment, the commander thought of many things.

Indeed, Fang Heng was very powerful, so powerful that they were all shocked.

But…

Was Fang Heng a vague and elusive natural disaster?

It seemed a little unrealistic.
