Chapters 100, 101 and 102 are flexible and changeable!

  "Hmph!" Chai Shuang saw that Xiao Hong had several dozen more companions from the Shao Jiang Group by his side, but he didn't erupt, just letting out a cold snort, without any other expression.

  As for Zhao Qing, he naturally also noticed this situation and had already begun to be vigilant in his heart.

  Just as Chai Frost and others appeared, Yan Nan suddenly came to Xiao Hong's side, with a slightly serious expression, and whispered to Xiao Hong: "Captain, there is a situation, take a look."

  As he spoke, Yan Nan stretched out his arm with a small light screen towards Xiao Hong. The tiny light spots the size of needle holes reappeared in the probe magic pattern that Xiao Hong had handed over to him earlier!

  "It's them." Xiao Hong muttered to himself, his expression also becoming vigilant, and he pretended to casually glance around, observing the direction marked on the light screen. There was a dense forest there, and with the naked eye, no unusual movement could be seen.

  Chapter 101: Odin's Stone

  Odin tried to maintain a calm demeanor, while Xiao Hong put the small wolf into the box in his backpack. He then inserted his hands into his pockets and looked around cautiously before approaching Zhao Qing's side.

  At this moment, Zhao Qing is counting the casualties from the survivors. After more than ten minutes, nearly fifty companions have gathered, and after preliminary statistics, twenty-six people have been confirmed dead, which can be called the most painful one in history.

  As for the harvest, it was half less than in previous years.

  "Brother Zhao, those troublemakers have arrived. They're in the dense forest to my left rear," Xiao Hong whispered to Zhao Qing.

  Zhao Qing didn't show much expression, just holding the pen in his hand, pausing for a moment, and also not looking in the direction Xiao Hong was talking about.

  "Really?" Zhao Qing said in as low a voice as possible.

  "Absolutely true, but I don't know how many people they have. I've seen ten of them, but I dare not guarantee that they had arranged for personnel before we arrived here. Their strength is not weak at all. I suggest that after we finish, we take the opportunity to withdraw, which would be the best strategy." Xiao Hong continued to say, and his gaze kept looking at Jiao Qi Shan and others. From start to finish, Jiao Qi Shan's Cologne team had no intention of resting, with battle lines constantly rotating between their arms.

  "Besides, Jiao Qi Shan is already at the Commander-in-Chief level." Xiao Hong added.

  "How did you know so much?" Zhao Qing was surprised for a moment.

  "No choice, I've seen it," Xiao Hong responded, then walked back and forth among the crowd for a while, took another look at He Nai Xiong, pretended to check the injuries of other wounded men, before returning to where he was earlier.

  Before long, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The crowd that had been arriving in a steady stream began to dwindle and finally stopped. In the end, how many people did the Shaojiang team gather?

  Xiao Hong, standing in the midst of the Shaojiang team, looked at everything with a sense of tranquility, yet his mind was equally perplexed and bewildered. As his brain spun wildly, his gaze also rapidly swept over the crowd that was hastily carrying the gigantic Odin original stone down the mountain.

  "Not true!" Xiao Hong's expression suddenly changed, and he shot out such a gaze, his eyes quickly darting back and forth between the giant Odin original stone and the people around him.

  The crowd of people around, seeing that nothing unusual had happened, began to relax their vigilance and were looking at the giant Odin original stone with hope and admiration.

  "Brother Zhao, hurry! Order everyone to keep a distance from that giant Odin's original stone, flash, flash, flash!" Xiao Hong hastily conveyed through the communication tattoo to Zhao Qing, then without hesitation, his footsteps had already started moving, quickly retreating into the forest.

  Upon hearing Xiao Hong say this, Zhao Qing seemed to understand and thought of something as well. No wonder, there was a problem with that giant Odin original stone!

  Without much hesitation, Zhao Qing quickly followed Xiao Hong's suggestion and gave the order.

  At the same time, Jiao Qi Shan and Pi Hai Fei were not ordinary people either. After seeing the people from Shao Jiang Group, they seemed to have thought of something and hastily ordered their men to retreat into the forest, getting farther away from that piece of Odin's original stone!

  Boom!

  Just as Xiao Hong and the others had just retreated into the forest, the giant Odin loaded with stones, surrounded by some small forces, suddenly exploded with a strong explosion, accompanied by a loud roar, and a huge light group was born!

  Chapter 102: Misdirection!

  In an instant, with the birth of a huge bright yellow spiral light group, the originally flat grassland was instantly flattened by a huge shockwave, and the nearby trees were also broken one after another. Its power is completely comparable to that of a secondary cannon on a magic battleship.

  Xiao Hong, who had just retreated into the forest, couldn't care about anyone else anymore. To put it another way, relying on his own strength, he didn't have the ability to take care of others either. With swift movements, he hugged the little wolf that was still unclear about the situation and directly pressed himself under a large tree trunk. After putting the little wolf in a dormant state, he began to constantly use extreme treatment on himself.

  In this way, the repulsive wave generated by the explosion can minimize the damage caused by a part of the explosion to itself.

  It wasn't until ten seconds had passed that the intense blast shockwave finally dissipated.

  When Xiao Hong raised his head, he saw that the surroundings had been devastated, with freshly turned earth and broken branches everywhere. The large trees that had previously provided shelter were still standing, but their canopies had been completely destroyed.

  Looking ahead again, several hundred meters away, a crater with a diameter of at least 50 meters had appeared. The crowd that was just densely packed together had been completely annihilated.

  It's clear that such a powerful bomb would be hard to find in Tai Wu City, which further gave Xiao Hong an intuition that the masked men on the street at the time were likely connected to the matter.

  At the same time, in the forest, others also slowly stood up.

  After this explosion, the original nearly thousand people are now left with less than five hundred people. The loss is quite tragic. However, the three major forces have managed to preserve their mainstream strength, although they also suffered significant losses, at least losing a quarter of their personnel.

  He looked down at the little wolf in his arms, which was still safe and sound, but its fur had been stained with a lot of dust. Hong Feng and others only suffered minor injuries.

  Looking again at the distant Dark Fusion Mountain, under the impact of the intense explosion, more than a dozen spiritual beast corpses had been thoroughly killed.

  "Captain, those people are still there, but they're preparing to withdraw." Yan Nan, with a gloomy face, carefully approached Xiao Hong's side and handed the small screen on his arm over to Xiao Hong once again.

  At this time, Xiao Hong could clearly see that the light point, which was less than three hundred meters away from them, slowly moved away from them, as if it was preparing to withdraw cautiously.

  Witnessing this scene, Xiao Hong's expression remained unchanged, and he sank into deep thought for a moment, calmly analyzing the situation. If these people were truly intent on annihilating them, and their strength was indeed far superior to that of the Xia Capture Team, they would have undoubtedly chosen to attack. However, since they had retreated instead, it could only mean one thing - they dared not engage in a head-on collision.

  "Who has a high-powered sniper, left front, open fire!" Xiao Hong suddenly pointed to the dense forest in front of him and ordered through the communication tattoo.

  Since the 15th group no longer had any high-power appliances, Li Wen and others did not move. As for the people in other groups, they also didn't react. The reason was simple - they knew who Xiao Hong was.

  "Listen to him." However, just as Xiao Hong's words came out, Zhao Qing added a sentence.

  "Yes!" As Zhao Qing connected this sentence, another first-class patterned person responded with a sound, quickly taking out the magic pattern fire arrow tube from behind, loading a magic bullet, and aiming at the direction pointed by Xiao Hong's hand, it was a cannon, accurately hitting the position pointed by Xiao Hong.

  In an instant, more than 30 masked men suddenly jumped out of the dense forest and appeared in everyone's line of sight.

  More than thirty people against nearly five hundred, who is strong and who is weak, it goes without saying.

  However, what Xiao Hong found astonishing at this moment was that as these masked men appeared from the shadows, no one rushed forward to launch a fatal attack on them.

  Xiao Hong could clearly see that Pi Hai Fei made a defensive gesture first, rather than an attacking one.

  Such a scene, Xiao Hong naturally understood that these masked men were not without combat power. He was waiting for other forces to go up first, in order to reduce the loss of his own force, letting others take the lead and die, while he sat back and enjoyed the benefits.

  As Pi Haifei made such a choice first, Jiao Qishan, who followed closely behind, also made a defensive gesture.

  Now there is only the Shaojiang Group that has the strength to deal with these thirty or so people not far away, but Zhao Qing and Xiao Hong are not stupid either. If others don't make a move, will they be foolish enough to charge forward alone?

  "Don't act rashly." Zhao Qing responded through the communication talisman.

  Watching more than thirty masked men retreat cautiously and then flee in a hurry, with no one chasing after them, Xiao Hong smiled lightly and shook his head.

  A handful of loose sand.

  Xiao Hong made such an evaluation in his heart, of course, there was not a single thread of anger in his heart, although he had some past grievances with that hoarse-voiced man, but to a certain extent, the loss suffered by the three major forces was not as great.

  And whether to catch or let go of these people, there is no benefit or loss for oneself. What's the point of getting angry then? It's just that in one's heart, there is a hint of mockery.

  "Since everyone has such good morals, let's disperse then. This place is not suitable for a long stay, and who knows what dangers might still be lurking." Xiao Hong said in an extremely loud voice as he stood amidst the crowd, before nodding to Zhao Qing and leading his team away from there.

  Other teams heard someone shouting in the Shaojiang team, and saw that the Shaojiang team was the first to withdraw without staying for long. They took one last reluctant look at the Anrong Mountain and then quickly withdrew as well. Along the way, they tried their best to find some valuable materials to bring back. However, no matter what, this year's harvest was absolutely the worst.

  After walking for about ten minutes, the entire area was left with only a few pieces of Jiang Group, which were not enough for now, but if they were lucky enough to become a master in the future, this piece of loadstone could definitely be used to create an extraordinary magic pattern.

  After a full hour, under Zhao Qing's repeated urging, the less-than-eighty people finally filled their backpacks. Then, without stopping, Zhao Qing directly gave the order to quickly withdraw, just like small thieves after committing a crime.

  With the collective advancement of a large team, they had strong support, and the safety factor of each member was also greatly increased. Therefore, even if they encountered some powerful spiritual beasts, it would be very easy to deal with them.

  As for Zhao Qing, he was even more grateful to Xiao Hong, initially bringing Xiao Hong along just to repay a favor, but unexpectedly, not only did the favor remain unpaid, but instead, he owed Xiao Hong an even greater debt of gratitude.
