Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 940 - 473: What Exactly Happened? (Part 2)
Lin Beichen looked at Shi Qingsong's still stubborn appearance, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Xia Luyao noticed this and silently thought something bad might happen next.
Sure enough, Lin Beichen extended two fingers, quietly recited a few spells, and then waved over the array on the ground. Instantly, a blue light ignited in the array, followed by a gust of wind whipping up around its perimeter. Shortly after, they heard the sound of wheels grinding against the ground.
"Commander, the vehicle is moving by itself!" an astonished soldier from the Third Brigade exclaimed.
Everyone turned to look, only to see the command vehicle start up on its own and quickly drive along the path they had come. A soldier reacted, trying to run after it to stop it, but how could his legs outrun a car? The command vehicle soon disappeared from view.
Shi Qingsong was stunned. How was this car driving by itself, just like when they first arrived? Could it really be related to the array Lin Beichen mentioned?
He looked at Lin Beichen in surprise: "What exactly is going on here?"
Lin Beichen gazed into the direction where the car disappeared, leisurely saying: "Didn't I already tell you? It's this array."
Shi Qingsong wanted to argue, but recalling everything that just happened, he held back. Cutting off communication could be explained as a high-tech method, but how to explain a driverless vehicle? Moreover, they were guided here in this way. Could there really be Mystic Sect techniques in the world?
The Third Brigade soldiers whispered among themselves: "This is too amazing!" "How could the vehicle move by itself?" "That array also glows, it's terrifying!" "Is it possible that Mystic Sect Secret Techniques really exist in the world? Did we come here because of this array?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Listening to their discussion, Shi Qingsong's expression grew grim. He originally didn't believe in such things, but now he began to doubt what he knew. The facts were laid bare, leaving him little choice but to believe. He stared intently at Lin Beichen, thinking this kid was too strange!
"Commander Shi, do you believe now?" Lin Beichen asked softly, observing the change in Shi Qingsong's eyes. Shi Qingsong sighed deeply: "I don't know what trick you're pulling; since you don't want to say, just forget it." Though shaken, he found it difficult to accept at the moment. He wanted to set this matter aside for the time being. Lin Beichen didn't say much more, knowing there would be opportunities in the future to earn their faith value, there was no rush.
"Since the exercise is over, shall we head back?" Xia Luyao suggested. Though surprised inwardly, everyone nodded in agreement, preparing to return. However, just then, a soldier from the Third Brigade suddenly said: "But our car is gone!" Everyone looked at Lin Beichen with a hint of accusation in their eyes. Lin Beichen shrugged innocently: "You can't blame me for this, right? You all asked me to prove it!" The soldiers were at a loss for words, realizing that what Lin Beichen said seemed reasonable. Seeing their helpless expressions, Lin Beichen chuckled: "What? Can't go back without a car?" Shi Qingsong and the soldiers exchanged glances, momentarily speechless. "Contact the base quickly and have them send a plane to pick us up," Shi Qingsong said sternly. Yet as soon as the words left his mouth, a strange noise suddenly filled the air around them.
"What's that sound?" Shi Qingsong paused suddenly, his face turning serious as he exclaimed. This sound was unusual, neither human nor vehicle—it sounded more like…
"Commander, it sounds like… a wolf's howl!" a soldier from the Third Brigade said nervously, swallowing hard, his voice trembling.
This remark changed the complexion of everyone present. If it were indeed wolves, they would be in serious trouble!
Xia Luyao quickly looked towards the source of the sound, spotting faint, eerie green lights in the distance. It was a pack of ferocious wild wolves, slowly approaching them.
"They really are wolves, we've got a big problem!" Xia Luyao said in a low voice, with a hint of tension in his tone.
Immediately, everyone entered combat readiness, clutching their guns tightly and focusing intently on the front.
Shi Qingsong turned and urgently said to the soldiers beside him: "Quick, contact the camp and request backup!"
"I'm afraid it's too late; it'll take at least half an hour for backup to get here," Lin Beichen calmly analyzed, as the wolf pack loomed close, ready to attack at any moment.
"What should we do?" a somewhat trembling soldier from the Third Brigade asked.
Lin Beichen stared ahead resolutely and said calmly: "There's no other choice—we have to fight."
Leng Feng also watched the wolf pack intently, worriedly saying: "But we're using blanks right now; they have no lethal power!"
"Even without lethal power, we must still fight. Prepare to engage!" Shi Qingsong ordered decisively, and everyone immediately raised their guns.
"Awooo!" The wolf pack suddenly let out a deafening howl, then pounced at them swiftly.
"Bang bang bang!" "Bang bang bang!" Gunshots rang out continuously as they fired blanks at the wolf pack.
Unfortunately, these blanks had almost no effect on the wolves, only causing them to dodge slightly before immediately lunging back in.
"Fix bayonets!" Seeing the dire situation, Xia Luyao quickly ordered.
Everyone swiftly attached bayonets, engaging in fierce combat with the wolves. The wolves were ferociously powerful and numerous. Even though the soldiers were battle-hardened special forces, they gradually found themselves struggling without the right weapons.
"Watch out!" Xia Luyao was fighting a wolf when another wolf suddenly attacked from the side.
Lin Beichen quickly rushed to Xia Luyao's side, using his bayonet to fend off the wolf.
Xia Luyao gave Lin Beichen a grateful glance and whispered thanks. Then she urgently said: "This won't work, there are too many wolves, we're not going to hold out!"
Lin Beichen frowned deeply and loudly asked: "Who has fire-starting tools?"
Wolves fear fire; if there was fire, they wouldn't dare come close.
"No!" "I didn't bring any either!" People responded as they battled the wolves. Who would have expected this to happen?
Lin Beichen was momentarily disappointed, but then seemed to think of something, turning to Xia Luyao: "Protect me, I have a way to make fire."
Though Xia Luyao and the others didn't know Lin Beichen's plan, they quickly formed a circle around him for protection.
Lin Beichen entered the circle, put down his gun, and took a piece of talisman paper from his pocket. He bit his fingertip, began drawing on the talisman paper.
Shi Qingsong saw this out of the corner of his eye and frowned, scolding: "Lin Beichen, what time do you think it is, and you're still fooling around!"
Lin Beichen ignored him; there wasn't time to explain now. Once the talisman was drawn, he placed it on his palm, closed his eyes, and murmured an incantation.
The talisman paper slowly began to float. Lin Beichen finished the final words of the spell, opened his eyes suddenly. With a stern look, he flipped his hand, bent his left knee, and slapped the talisman onto the ground.
In an instant, countless red lines spread outward from the talisman paper. Then, three meters away, a raging flame ignited! The flames encircled everyone, keeping the wolves outside.
The wolves, eyes glinting fiercely, stopped attacking, even retreating a few steps fearing the fire. They hesitated in front of the blaze, suddenly reluctant to attack.
"Lin Beichen, this..." Shi Qingsong was stunned by the burning flames before him. What exactly was going on? Lin Beichen had just drawn a few strokes on a piece of paper, and then flames rose around them! It was truly bizarre!
Aside from the members of the Venomous Snake Special Team, who were accustomed to Lin Beichen's miraculous actions and stayed calm, Shi Qingsong, the Third Brigade soldiers, and Leng Feng all showed expressions of amazement and disbelief, hardly able to believe their eyes.
The old Daoist smiled at Lin Beichen and cheerfully said: "Wonderful, Lin Beichen, you're amazing! Now these wolves surely won't dare attack us again!" However, just as he finished speaking, the largest wolf in the pack suddenly let out a long howl. "Awooo!" Lin Beichen's face changed immediately upon hearing it, shouting: "This is bad!"
"What happened?" Wild Ox asked in confusion.
Lin Beichen stared at the howling wolf, his expression growing serious, as he spoke gravely:
