Chapter 1261: Chapter 1254: Luring the Enemy Deeper

"Before we start the action, there’s one more thing," Baiyue suddenly remembered something as the three were ready to move, and thus she called out to the two of them.

"What is it?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"About Feng," Baiyue said, looking at Feng with a serious expression, "Remember, Feng, when you go to harass the military camp, you must not reveal your moves. Your identity is very special, I believe there are definitely people within the Dongsheng army who can recognize you, so try not to expose yourself."

"I know!" Feng nodded earnestly.

"Just draw them out with the Yuanzi gun, don’t act on your own," Cheng Ziang warned.

"Yes!" Feng nodded vigorously once more.

"Good, it’s early morning now, dawn is approaching, we will make our move at that time. As a sniper, this will allow me sufficient visibility for the kill. Lead them here but try not to get entangled on the way, we’ll handle them at this spot," Baiyue advised after glancing at the night sky.

"Understood," Feng replied.

"I’ll be supporting you from the outer perimeter of the encirclement, Xiao Fula will be in charge of covering you throughout, don’t worry about me," Cheng Ziang said.

"Then I’m off," Feng stated.

"Yes, be careful, don’t get entangled with the enemy, remember, remember!" Cheng Zian warned again.

Leaving the two, Feng moved nimbly through the jungle. The terrain here was primarily plains and rolling hills. It should have been suitable for farming, but the continuous wars had left the Demon Clan with insufficient productivity to develop the land, leading it to lay fallow, the dense jungle seemingly endless.

With familiarity paving her path, Feng soon arrived at the outskirts of the main Dongsheng military encampment. By now, the sky had lightened, and a faint mist spread around, enveloping everything in a cold hue as if it were a black and white photograph.

Feng held a knife in her right hand and drew her Yuanzi pistol from her lower back with her left. Since her primary weapon was a long knife, she had learned to use the gun with her left hand.

Though she was an Otherworlder and had joined headquarters halfway through, she had learned a lot about the use of Earth weapons over the years with Luo’er and the others. Even though the Yuanzi gun was a newly developed experimental weapon, its actual use was not difficult for her.

After drawing the pistol, she made a slight adjustment to the firing rate. The semi-automatic pistol’s trigger pressure could be adjusted to increase the number of trigger pulls.

Once she had made the necessary adjustments, she aimed at the distant Dongsheng army’s main encampment and without hesitation pulled the trigger.

Accompanied by a series of dull roars, batches of anchors and bullets were fired, then collided in the distance, triggering explosions.

The intense Yuanzi Reaction released by the Yuanzi Group propelled the movement of atmospheric molecules, creating extreme heat, which then burst into fierce flames.

Instantly, the Dongsheng military camp was hit by an unending series of explosions, and the tents caught columns of fire. The startled soldiers ran back and forth like ants in disarray.

The louder explosion sounds masked the noise of Feng’s gunfire, so at first, almost no one noticed her presence. Feng did not conceal her whereabouts either, standing in the open as if she were invisible, firing unrestrainedly into the camp.

Soon, even more distant tents were exploding in towering infernos. The Yuanzi gun didn’t have bullet trajectories, so as long as she could see her target, she could hit it.

However, the Yuanzi gun had its limitations. After shooting for a few minutes, Feng’s Yuanzi gun grew unbearably hot, even the grip and trigger beginning to scorch. At that moment, Feng dare not tuck the gun back into its holster; she could only hold it in her hand, temporarily ceasing fire.

As mentioned before, the principle of the Yuanzi gun involved using the explosion inside the gun barrel to generate kinetic energy to propel anchors and projectiles. This process also generated heat inside the barrel.

If the heat continued to accumulate, it would cause the Kedal metal splitter responsible for segmenting the Yuanzi Group to dull, essentially rendering the gun useless.

Therefore, although the elemental gun didn’t require ammunition, it still needed cooling and couldn’t fire continuously.

Traditional support weapons like machine guns usually maintain their firepower by swapping out barrels, but the main heating part of a machine gun is the barrel, whereas for an elemental gun, it’s the chamber, making it impossible to swap out.

In the face of the distant flames and rolling thick smoke, Feng didn’t feel guilty at all; instead, she kept waving the elemental gun in her hand, trying to dissipate the heat from the chamber through the motion.

Although it was their first time facing such a situation, the Dongsheng army quickly stabilized their position, as they were, after all, an experienced force. Some of them also identified the instigator of all this.

A few soldiers, eager to make a name for themselves, charged towards Feng with long pole weapons, their momentum fierce. However, Feng didn’t care about these minor characters. Once her gun chamber had cooled slightly, she lifted her gun and fired again.

The Yuanzi Reaction, when it hit the soldiers without an Inner Core, didn’t cause an internal explosion but exploded directly on the surface of their bodies. With just a few short bursts, Feng laid a group of them flat with the explosions.

The soldiers fell into a disheveled heap on the ground, those who weren’t dead struggled and wailed in agony, clearly eroded by the violently active magic power.

In the moment those soldiers fell, a shadow suddenly emerged from behind them, sprinting towards Feng with a long spear. From his momentum and steps alone, it was clear that he was a General.

However, faced with the General’s sudden attack, Feng remained unmoved. She instinctively stepped back and then raised her elemental gun and pulled the trigger at him.

Seeing Feng’s action, the General was very cautious. Even though he was close, he still did his best to dodge the shot.

But what he apparently didn’t know was that, although he agilely dodged the shot, his Dantian was very welcoming of the Yuanzi shot by the elemental gun and immediately captured it.

An explosion sounded inside the General’s body, his expression changed, and he suddenly felt a wave of intense pain sweep over his body. He stumbled and, driven by the momentum, rolled awkwardly to Feng’s feet.

Now, as he lay face up, his eyes wide and mouth agape, his body wracked with unbearable pain, he couldn’t utter a word, only the wail emanating from his throat could be heard.

But Feng had no intention of listening to his continued groaning. She expressionlessly raised her long knife and then plunged it down forcefully. The Kedal metal blade cut through his neck as easily as a knife through butter, penetrating deep into the earth.

After that, Feng pulled out the long knife with ease. The General’s bulging eyes gradually lost their luster, and the splash of blood dripping into his eyes created a particularly unnerving scene.

Killing a General without any sense of excitement, Feng remained calm. Judging from her skirmish with this General, it was clear that he had been careless, which allowed her to shatter his Dantian with a single shot, leading to his demise.

Feng believed that if all the Generals were of this quality, then the Dongsheng army was nothing to fear. Thus, she tended to believe that this was merely an insignificant character.

It seemed to confirm her suspicion when three more Generals quickly spotted her and charged towards her. Judging by their aura alone, these three were clearly not to be triftoled with and made suitable targets for her ambush.

So, thinking this, Feng let out a faint cold smile, then tucked away her safety-on handgun into its holster and turned to run away.

Thanks to the enhancement of the super mobility device, even though Feng’s speed was not as fast as the three Generals, she didn’t fall behind in the chase.

Soon, she led the three recklessly pursuing Generals straight into their ambush circle and stopped there.

Worried about her identity being discovered by the three again, Feng deliberately covered her face and donned a hood, concealing her identity.

In normal times, Feng’s appearance in West Outer Heaven wouldn’t attract undue attention, but now that the Dongsheng army was attacking West Outer Heaven. If these Generals saw someone from Kyushu fighting against them just like them, they would start questioning that person’s identity, and it would be easy for them to notice Feng’s unique status.
