As the members of the Chasing Wind Squad crowded around Lu Feng, eagerly asking how he had tamed a Leader-level Exotic Beast, a Mecha at the front of the formation was suddenly hit by a High-Energy Thermite Cannon.
With a deafening boom, the Mecha instantly came apart.
Flying debris shattered the glass visors of several nearby Mechas.
Before anyone could react, a second Mecha was blasted away. The crew inside vaporized instantly in the searing heat.
Then a third, a fourth...
"Enemy attack—"
Someone had only just shouted in the comms when he and his Mecha were blown to pieces.
Even Gao Zhan and Hong Kun, fresh from the battle and about to return to their Mechas, watched their rides turn to scrap under the barrage.
An Energy Cannon beam streaked straight toward Lu Feng. The White-haired Eagle beside him suddenly spread its wings, taking the deadly shot with its body.
Its wings, more than thirty meters across, instantly became shelter for several squad members.
"Who's firing on their own people?!"
The survivors roared over the comms.
Who besides humans themselves would use High-Energy Thermite Cannons?
In just ten seconds, the Chasing Wind Squad had been all but wiped out.
The White-haired Eagle had taken countless hits in the concentrated barrage. If not for the formidable constitution of a Tier 4 Exotic Beast, it would have fallen long ago.
"Quick, call the Command Center for help!"
Gao Zhan and Hong Kun, deprived of their Mechas, moved toward Lu Feng as they ordered the surviving squad members.
Just then, the barrage abruptly stopped.
Two figures raced out from behind a nearby hillside, closing in on the Chasing Wind Squad in just a few leaps.
Zheng Yi sprang into the air, rising over a hundred meters, then slammed down with a punch.
