Start a mysterious island

Zhang Zhao cursed angrily, "This cunning thing is so hateful!"

Mu Qi frowned and groaned inwardly.

They originally thought that even if the two of them could not kill the strange beast, they would have no problem protecting themselves. They did not expect that the strange beast was hiding so deeply. The situation now became extremely unfavorable to them, and they were instantly trapped in a desperate situation from which they could not escape.

The blood-colored mantis was in a ferocious state, and the spiritual energy fluctuations on its body became stronger and stronger, like a burning flame, and it actually broke through directly from the middle stage of the second stage to the high stage of the second stage.

This huge change in strength made Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao's faces turn pale as paper in an instant, and the hope in their hearts was completely shattered.

"It turns out this guy has the strength of a high-level second-level player. We are finished now." Zhang Zhao murmured to himself in despair, his voice full of helplessness and despair.

Both he and Muchi only have the strength of the middle stage of the second level. Even though Muchi is not far from the high stage of the second level, the gap compared to the real high stage of the second level is still like a chasm that is difficult to cross.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they would have no chance of winning, as the shadow of death was looming over their heads.

Mu Qi's face was gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he made a difficult decision in his heart.

He quickly took off his backpack and threw it to Zhang Zhao, his movements quick and decisive.

Zhang Zhao took the backpack with a bewildered look on his face, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'll hold it back for a while, and you run away with the things." Mu Qi's eyes revealed his determination to face death, and he said firmly.

Zhang Zhao was stunned and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Mu Qi.

"It's better for one person to die than for both to die. Stop talking nonsense and do as I say. This is our only chance." Mu Qi's tone left no room for doubt.

Zhang Zhao's face was full of sadness and he nodded helplessly.

At this moment, his heart was filled with reluctance to leave his companions, but he knew that this might be their only chance of survival.

The blood-red mantis waved its sickle and a strong wind was howling at the scene. The powerful strength it displayed at this moment made Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao terrified.

The original plan was for Mu Qi to hold back the strange beast and buy time for Zhang Zhao to escape, but at this moment it seemed that even if Mu Qi tried his best to stop it, Zhang Zhao might not be able to escape the pursuit of this ferocious strange beast.

At this critical moment of life and death, a golden light suddenly shot out from the bushes not far away and flew straight towards the blood-red mantis like lightning.

"Clang!" The bloody mantis quickly raised its sickle to block the incoming golden light.

Looking closely, it turned out to be an arrow with the tip flashing with cold light.

Where did the arrows come from in the middle of the night?

Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao turned their heads and saw the dense grass in the distance shaking violently, and several figures jumped out from the grass.

These people were all wearing the same uniform, and the weapons in their hands emitted a pale golden light.

"It's the investigator!" Mu Qi shouted in surprise, with excitement in his voice.

It turned out that this combat team came here following the blood-red egg that had crossed the border. When they saw the strange beast threatening humans, they decisively helped.

The moment Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao saw the investigator, a strong sense of joy surged in their hearts.

In the past, they always avoided investigators, but at this moment, they seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and hope for survival was rekindled in their hearts.

"Get out of here quickly." An investigator holding a long knife shouted.

The bloody mantis was forced to raise its front paws to resist.

"Bang."

The investigator's full-strength attack carried an overwhelming force.

The impact force exploded instantly, and the blood-red mantis was blown away like a kite with a broken string, drawing an awkward arc in the air and falling heavily in the distance.

This sudden attack instantly made it lose the possibility of chasing and killing Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao who had escaped.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar suddenly rang out.

The blood-red mantis that was knocked away looked up at the sky and let out a roar full of anger and unwillingness.

With this roar, the already surging spiritual energy fluctuations in its body further intensified like a surging tide.

That terrifying aura, like an invisible pressure field, instantly enveloped all the investigators.

Some investigators who were slightly weaker in ability were stunned by the impact of this aura, and their eyes revealed a brief moment of fear.

The investigator who had just dealt a fatal blow to the bloody mantis now had a solemn expression as if covered with a layer of frost.

He quickly glanced at his companions around him and said to them in a steady tone, "You guys retreat and support me with long-range weapons from a distance. I'll handle the close-range fight."

"Okay, be careful!" The teammates nodded in response without hesitation, their eyes full of trust.

Then they quickly retreated in an orderly manner into the distance.

After retreating to a safe distance, they skillfully took out their long-range weapons, aimed at the target with focused eyes, and were ready to provide support at any time.

The investigator holding a long knife became increasingly nervous after his teammates evacuated.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his spine, and his years of combat experience made him alert instantly. Almost driven by instinct, he quickly raised the long sword in his hand that was emitting a cold light and blocked it steadily in front of him.

"call out."

A sharp whistling sound cut through the air, and a dazzling red laser shot towards him like lightning, hitting the weapon in his hand accurately.

“Boom!”

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the powerful force of the explosion, with the weapon as the center, spread wildly in all directions.

The flames from the explosion instantly illuminated the dark rainy night, completely enveloping the investigator's figure.

At the same time, rain and mud were swept away by this terrifying shock wave, sweeping in all directions like a raging mudslide, leaving a mess wherever they went.

When all the dust gradually settled, the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and the strong smell of blood.

A violent cough broke the brief silence. The investigator who was attacked by the red laser began to bleed slowly from the corner of his mouth. His face was as pale as paper. He was obviously injured by the sudden attack from the alien beast.

When the bloody mantis saw this, a smug look appeared on its originally ferocious face, as if it was mocking the investigator's arrogance.

Then, the mysterious third eye on its forehead began to glow strangely again.

As the light flickered, a more powerful red laser shot out like a death beam, swiftly hitting the injured investigator.

With the painful lesson just now, the investigator holding a long knife reacted quickly.

He pushed the ground with his right foot suddenly, and with the help of the reaction force of the ground, he moved rapidly to the left.

The red laser passed by his body, missed the target, and finally fell to the ground.

However, the power of this laser was so terrifying that it caused another terrible explosion the moment it landed, and a huge deep pit with a diameter of six or seven meters was instantly blown out on the ground.

The bloody mantis seemed to have gone crazy, constantly releasing red lasers and launching round after round of fierce attacks on the investigators.

Under this intensive attack, the investigator looked extremely embarrassed and could only keep fleeing around, looking for opportunities to fight back.

Fortunately, this suppressed situation did not last too long, and the teammates who retreated to a distance in advance took decisive action.

They quickly activated the long-range weapons in their hands, and golden lights streamed like meteors, attacking the blood-red mantis with powerful killing power.

"Boom, boom..."

A series of explosions sounded around the blood-red mantis, and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield.

Under this round of fierce attack, the arrogance of the blood-red mantis was instantly suppressed, and now it was its turn to flee in embarrassment.

With tacit cooperation, the investigators temporarily suppressed this terrifying beast.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, they all knew that the means of long-range attack were limited.

Once these means of attack are exhausted, they will fall into a passive situation again.

But at this moment, they had no room to retreat and could only continue fighting.

As for what the final outcome of this battle will be, no one can predict it. They can only give their all in this dangerous battle.

…………

Before we knew it, the raging storm began to subside.

Two figures were running desperately in the rain. They were Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao.

At this moment, the two of them were rushing through the dense bushes in a panic. The branches and leaves scratched their skin, leaving streaks of blood.

Soon they passed through a deep woods again. The tree roots tripped them from time to time, making them fall into the mud, but they did not dare to stop for a moment and kept running towards the safe area.

The sound of explosions from the fierce battle behind them gradually diminished, and every decrease in volume relieved the tension in the hearts of Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao who were fleeing.

Their breathing was rapid and heavy, and sweat mixed with rain.

When the two of them finally could no longer hear the terrifying explosion, the hearts that had been hanging in their throats finally slowly settled down.

Muchi was the first to stop. He supported his knees with his hands, breathing heavily, his body trembling slightly due to excessive fatigue.

When Zhang Zhao saw this, he also stopped immediately. His chest heaved violently, and fear still lingered in his eyes.

At this moment, the two men seemed to have telepathic connection. They turned around at the same time, their eyes passing through the layers of rain, looking towards the place where the battle had taken place before.

Their expressions were very complicated. In the past, investigators were the objects of hatred in their hearts, but today, these investigators whom they once hated so much have become the saviors who saved their lives.

Zhang Zhao raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously to remove the stains of rain and sweat on his face. His voice was a little hoarse due to panting, and he spoke.

"Do you think those investigators can handle that terrifying beast?"

Mu Qi's face was serious, his brows were furrowed, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, he slowly said, "They are very strong, they should be able to handle it."

Zhang Zhao was still worried and asked, "What if we can't handle it? Wouldn't they..."

He didn't finish his words, but both of them understood the meaning.

Mu Qi was silent for a moment, then he said in a low voice, "If they can't handle it, then they will probably have no choice but to die."

The two people fell into silence immediately, with only the sound of dripping rain around them.

Although they were enemies of the investigators, the fear of being in a desperate situation and certain death was still deeply engraved in their minds.

He thought his life was about to end, but the crisis was unexpectedly averted by the investigator.

Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao felt an indescribable gratitude towards the investigator.

At this moment, they hope that all the investigators can survive safely in the end.

Suddenly, without any warning, the originally pitch-black area ahead lit up with a strange red light.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely sharp and creepy beast roar was heard.

Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao were very familiar with the roar of the beast. They were shocked and immediately realized that the terrible blood-red mantis should now be using all its strength.

"I feel it's too dangerous to stay here. Let's go quickly." Mu Qi said anxiously, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Zhang Zhao nodded vigorously without saying anything. He just followed Mu Qi closely and continued to run towards the safe zone.

Their figures seemed very small in the rain and soon disappeared in the vast rain, leaving only a string of footprints of varying depths that were gradually washed away by the rain.

…………

The battlefield was in a mess, and the investigator, who had fought fiercely with the strange beast, was now completely at a disadvantage.

"You guys go quickly, I'll hold this guy back!" Shi Zhiming shouted at the top of his lungs.

At this moment, he had multiple injuries on his body, and blood was constantly oozing from the wounds, staining his clothes red, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.

"No, let's go together! We can't leave you behind!" the teammates shouted.

Their faces were full of worry. In such a critical moment, no one was willing to abandon their companions.

"Don't disobey my orders, leave quickly!" Shi Zhiming's tone became even more severe.

He was fully aware of the critical situation at the moment. Only if someone could hold back this terrifying beast would the others have a chance to escape.

If he continued to waste time, even if he risked his life to hold back the monster, the chances of others escaping would be greatly reduced.

"Yes." Several seriously injured investigators, with grief on their faces and tears in their eyes, quickly fled away with a companion who was almost dying.

At this time, the blood-red mantis had doubled in size and looked like a small house.

It stands on the battlefield, exuding a chilling aura.

The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from his body have far exceeded the high level of the second stage.

The terrifyingly powerful force made the surrounding air tremble.

Shi Zhiming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the monster whose strength had increased dramatically, clenched the long sword in his hand, and muttered to himself,

"After this guy exploded, he actually reached the peak of the second level..."

There was a hint of despair in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
