Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 705 No Escape
Li Chenzhou thought for a moment and then said, before teleporting himself outside the war fortress.
Of course, Li Chenzhou was still inside the energy shield. The war fortress's energy shield was semi-circular, covering the entire cone-shaped fortress. Therefore, there was still some distance between the outside of the war fortress and the energy shield, unlike the close proximity of the Devourers.
Looking at the energy shield in front of him, Li Chenzhou sighed. The energy shield was good, of course, but it also had its flaws. It had to be a complete whole, without any small openings.
Therefore, in the current situation, only Li Chenzhou could leave the war fortress. No one else could.
Because only Li Chenzhou had a skill with spatial attributes: Fatal Strike. He could use this skill to jump directly outside the energy shield. Others didn't have this ability.
Looking up at Li Chenzhou above, he found that he couldn't see anything at all. Because of the continuous attacks by the Devourers, countless beams of light constantly crashed into the shield. Therefore, the entire area above was engulfed in white light, with large fireballs constantly flashing in between – the last brilliant display left by the Devourer's fighters in this world...
Seeing this situation, Li Chenzhou suddenly realized that getting out might not be an easy task. Their current location was in a deep pit underground, somewhat like a huge well.
And above him, the Devourers were constantly launching attacks. He certainly couldn't just rush out from above.
Opening the shop, Li Chenzhou searched and actually found a product that was very suitable for the current situation: the Groundhog Car.
This thing was specially designed for digging tunnels. The Tuoluo world also had similar things, but much larger. The Groundhog Car looked a bit like a pencil placed horizontally, except that its head was a huge drill, and the carriage behind it could seat two people.
This thing had no combat capabilities. It was probably only used for digging. But Li Chenzhou didn't plan to drive this thing to kill Devourers. He first needed to get out.
After carefully reading the Groundhog Car's description, Li Chenzhou stood up and waved his hand towards the front. He knew that Duan Lei and the others were definitely watching him through the monitor at this time.
Then, Li Chenzhou teleported himself to the bottom of the fortress. With a Fatal Strike, he passed through the energy shield and landed on the soil below the fortress, immediately exchanging for a Groundhog Car.
This thing didn't come with internal space, nor did it have teleportation functions. Li Chenzhou opened the car door and sat inside, immediately starting it and drilling into the soil next to it.
Because the Devourers were attacking the war fortress while expanding the space above it, Li Chenzhou first drilled horizontally for about two kilometers before raising the Groundhog Car's head and drilling upwards at a 45-degree angle.
When he was about ten meters away from the surface, Li Chenzhou used the Groundhog Car to circle around underground, creating a small space. Then he put away the Groundhog Car and dug upwards bit by bit.
When he dug to the surface, Li Chenzhou found that he was just behind a building, but this building had been turned into ruins by the previous explosion.
Hiding behind the wall, Li Chenzhou looked at the Devourer base. They shouldn't have noticed Li Chenzhou coming out, because there weren't any fighters flying towards here.
Using the ruins, Li Chenzhou quietly approached the Devourer base and came to the edge of the deep pit. Looking at the somewhat distant Devourer base, Li Chenzhou felt a bit depressed.
This distance had exceeded the range of his Fatal Strike. Hong Li had fought a bit too fiercely before, destroying all the land around the Devourer base, so he couldn't get past it, which he hadn't anticipated.
However, although this distance exceeded the range of his Fatal Strike, there should still be a way to get there, because the Devourer base was originally buried underground, so the nearby highway should be able to be used.
Li Chenzhou looked at the terrain and calculated the distance. If he got a car and drove at full speed, he could definitely jump that distance and directly crash into the Devourer base.
And he could launch a Fatal Strike the instant before the impact, entering the interior of the Devourer base!
However, this plan was relatively risky. Everything before was fine, but the main thing was the final Fatal Strike. Although Fatal Strike could travel through space, the landing point had to be an open space.
And because the Devourer's base was made of life metal, which could change in any way, Li Chenzhou didn't know the internal structure at all. How could he be so lucky as to choose an empty space?
He did know the location of the passage that the Devourers had opened before to let them in, but now, Li Chenzhou couldn't be sure that it was still a passage.
Lying on the side observing, Li Chenzhou thought of many plans, but he rejected them all. He even thought about whether he should take advantage of those fighters flying past him and directly use Fatal Strike to enter a fighter, so he could find out whether the Devourer inside the fighter was a Tier 3 life form.
But if he did that, how would he get out? Fatal Strike had a ten-minute cooldown. When he rushed into the fighter, he would definitely be discovered by the Devourers. Li Chenzhou couldn't fly a plane. With those ten minutes, the Devourers could kill him hundreds of times!
"I can only try it first!"
Li Chenzhou finally came up with a method, but he wasn't sure if it would work.
After retreating some distance, Li Chenzhou hid behind a ruin, took out the Groundhog Car he had used before, then sat inside, drove the Groundhog Car into the ground, and headed towards the Devourer base.
Just as he approached the edge of the deep pit, Li Chenzhou drove the Groundhog Car out of the ground, then opened the car door, took out a large-caliber beam gun, and fired a shot at the Devourer's base!
Almost the instant Li Chenzhou jumped out, the Devourers seemed to have discovered Li Chenzhou. At the same time he fired, several fighters at the top immediately drew an arc and rushed towards Li Chenzhou.
Li Chenzhou didn't seem to have expected the Devourers to react so quickly. He had just fired a shot and there were already fighters rushing towards him. So, he quickly put away the beam gun, jumped into the Groundhog Car, and prepared to run away.
But just as the Groundhog Car's nose was pointing downwards, ready to drill into the ground, several fighters suddenly opened fire at the same time. Several beams of energy hit the drill in front of the Groundhog Car, instantly melting the drill completely…
