Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Ambush VS Counterattack

Xie Jun had just fired the rocket, and nearby, Zhou Hua also pressed the launch trigger of the rocket, which also roared into the sky with a blast.

The two rockets shot one after the other towards Yang Xiao’s team hundreds of meters away.

Huang Wen’s air combat reconnaissance team was the first to hear the explosion of the rockets, and by the time they heard it, the rockets had already been shot over.

"Watch out!"

With a scream, Huang Wen launched a Fiery Feathered Arrow towards the rocket.

However, her speed was naturally much slower than that of the rocket. By the time the Fiery Feathered Arrow reached its target, the rocket had already whizzed past towards the crowd of Yang Xiao’s team.

Yang Xiao and Xia Luo were leading the team at the front. When the rockets were launched, they had naturally heard the sound. With their current Primordial Gene Intermediate Stage evolution level, their hearing, vision, and reaction speed had naturally far surpassed that of ordinary people.

The two simultaneously ignited a Light Shield, placing it in the direction from which the rocket was coming.

Bang!

The rocket hit the first Light Shield, causing a violent blast. The pale blue transparent Light Shield cracked with a snap, shattered into pieces, and the powerful shockwave continued to surge forward, instantly stopped by the second Light Shield.

The second Light Shield also made a crisp cracking sound, appeared with spiderweb-like cracks, and then shattered.

However, after the interception by the Light Shields of Yang Xiao and Xia Luo, the explosive damage of the rocket had been reduced by over 80%. The remaining shockwave did not cause much damage to Yang Xiao and Xia Luo; they merely shook and took half a step back.

Almost at the same time, another rocket exploded in the crowd with a boom, lifting a white mist of snow. Dozens of people were knocked askew by the impact, with two blown into the sky and killed on the spot, and a dozen or so injured, two of them critically.

"Ambush, watch out!"

"Disperse, quickly spread out!"

"Light Shield Defense, Light Shield Defense!"

"Bird Battle Team, shoot, shoot!"

...

For a moment, various shouts merged into one.

Everyone had anticipated Xie Jun’s ambush and possible defense strategies before arriving, but they didn’t expect this guy to also have a rocket launcher!

Yang Xiao, Xia Luo, and others immediately organized everyone to disperse.

Above in the sky, Huang Wen immediately led everyone forward.

The range of a Feathered Arrow was limited, ordinary people could only shoot around 70 meters, but a Primary Stage expert of the Primordial Gene like Huang Wen could shoot up to about 100 meters.

Huang Wen had just flown forward when suddenly the Giant Eagle beside her let out a shrill cry,

"Eh—"

The Giant Eagle’s wings flapped mightily, instantly overtaking Huang Wen and flying forwards.

Xie Jun, just about to fire a second rocket at the distant Yang Xiao and his team, suddenly heard the call of the Giant Eagle in the sky, looked up, and saw the Giant Eagle flying his way, he immediately cursed:

"Fuck, this feathered beast dares to mess with me again, last time it killed two of my brothers and I haven’t taken revenge yet, and today it’s here again, I’ll deal with you first."

Saying so, he lifted the rocket launcher, aimed at the Giant Eagle flying in the distance,

"Boom,"

A blaze of fire shot high into the sky towards the Giant Eagle.

Behind him, Huang Wen looked on anxiously and shouted loudly:

"Yingying, dodge quickly!"

Meanwhile, another of Zhou Hua’s rocket launchers was fired towards Yang Xiao’s team, exploding with a loud bang. However, as the crowd had already dispersed and everyone had learned to watch for incoming missiles and dodge after the first rocket attack, there were no serious injuries.

Rocket launchers were designed before the end of the human era, mainly against tanks and bunkers; they don’t have a very long range, at most a few hundred meters, and their speed is not considered particularly high.

Now, these genetically evolved humans, whether in terms of hearing, vision, reaction or movement speed, have all improved significantly from before.

When everyone heard the noise and saw the incoming shell from afar, they had already started dodging swiftly.

With a loud boom, the rocket Zhou Hua had fired exploded in the snow, with only two individuals unable to dodge in time being thrown back 2 meters by the blast wave; the rest were unharmed.

Seeing the missile approaching, the Giant Eagle in the sky immediately opened its enormous beak, and a huge burst of flames ejected from its mouth, colliding with the missile about 50 meters in front of it.

Boom!

The rocket exploded prematurely, leaving the Giant Eagle completely unscathed.

The attacked Giant Eagle became enraged and quickly flew towards Xie Jun’s hiding place, flapping its wings and sending over a dozen Fiery Feather Arrows shooting through the air.

Xie Jun saw this and muttered under his breath, "Fuck your granny!"

Immediately, he began rolling down the snowy slope.

Bang!

He had just rolled down the slope when the dozen plus Fiery Feather Arrows exploded on the slope, scattering snow all around, and five or six archers lying in wait for an ambush on the slope were blown away.

From a distance, Huang Wen and her companions had also arrived.

Yang Xiao and his people had begun to run forward quickly, closing to just over a hundred meters from the snowy slope.

Xie Jun knew that the effectiveness of the ambush had been greatly reduced under these circumstances. However, the idea of letting Yang Xiao push forward so boldly was something he found difficult to swallow internally.

A surge of ferocity erupted from Xie Jun, as he bellowed:

"All units counterattack, retreat after ten minutes!"

Immediately, over a thousand people sprang into action. More than 200 Bird Beast Souls took flight, heading towards Huang Wen and her companions to intercept Huang Wen’s airborne squadron, providing cover for Xie Jun and his troops’ counterattack.

Huang Wen and her people, who were originally going to attack the people atop the snowy slope, suddenly saw a large flock of birds heading towards them. They had to give up their initial plan and flew towards the approaching birds, with hundreds of Feathered Arrows piercing through the sky.

However, it seemed the Giant Eagle mother despised Xie Jun for attacking it. Spreading its wings wide, it still pursued Xie Jun and others, firing dozens of Fiery Feather Arrows at the snowy slope.

The realm of the Genetic Plan in the Giant Eagle was even higher than Yang Xiao’s current level, making it easy to imagine the sheer power of its Fiery Feather Arrows.

Boom, boom, boom...

Dozens of explosions sounded, and several more ambushers on the snow slope were blasted away.

At this moment, the battle of flying creatures on both sides had flared into chaos. Huang Wen’s side had about twenty individuals who had entered the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, whereas the enemy only had seven. With the help of the young Giant Eagle, Huang Wen quickly gained the upper hand.

Finally, Yang Xiao and his team broke through to within a hundred meters, and the archers from both sides began shooting almost simultaneously.

Yang Xiao, leading seventy to eighty Primordial Gene Primary Stage experts, relied on the protection of their Light Shields to spearhead the assault. The enemy’s arrows struck their Light Shields, failing to inflict serious damage.

Some archers and Elemental Mages followed behind Yang Xiao and his team, along with several hundred Close Combat Beast Soul warriors. Some of them carried Golden Light Shields, others common shields, and they rapidly pressed forward.

Xie Jun suddenly felt a sense of tragic frustration as the Giant Eagle pursued and attacked him, leaving him with no opportunity to fight back, only to dodge continuously.

Zhou Hua had fired two more shells, blasting away five people, then discovered he had no more ammunition left.
