Chapter 297 Fire Rain(2/3)
The news of Jian Lei's appearance in the canyon shocked the top management of the canyon.
More than ten minutes later, an A-level being arrived at the scene.
It's a pity that he came too late, and the other party had disappeared into the vast night.
With his protection, everyone mustered up the courage to continue chasing according to the trajectory of the elemental fluctuations.
However, what was very embarrassing was that they encountered a trap, and an earth-shattering fire exploded, knocking the pursuers off their feet.
The casualties were not too heavy, but people were really killed. Two people were killed on the spot, and another one died on the way to the hospital.
The person above Level A was too late to protect everyone.
Immediately afterwards, another news came that the team tracking the two men also encountered a fire explosion.
There were fewer pursuers along that route, but one was killed and the other seriously injured.
The key is that after the fire explosion, it is completely impossible to look for abnormal elemental breath.
The next moment, news came again that the grocery store had been robbed, and the underground canyon material reserve was almost completely lost.
Only then did everyone realize that co-ownership of that grocery store was just a cover?
In any case, as soon as the two fire explosions occurred, the simple base was put on the canyon's must-kill list.

Chapter 196: Talisman for holding things? (Fourth update)
In the northeast of the canyon, there is a dense forest. The trees are seventy or eighty meters high, soaring straight into the sky.
In the shadow of the jungle, there is a circular fortress covering an area of about two square kilometers.
This is what people in the canyon call the "base."
People in the base rarely go out, but from time to time people from the canyon come to deliver supplies in their cars.
To most people in the canyon, the base is very mysterious, but its authority is unquestionable.
In a spacious room at the base, a middle-aged man with a resolute face was sitting at the table, looking at the computer screen.
There are not many furnishings in the room and it is empty, yet simple yet concise.
There are several tall potted plants placed in the corner of the room, which are lush and full of vitality.
A clear voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Report!"
The middle-aged man still stared at the screen and replied casually, "Come in!"
Although it was very casual, there was a touch of coercion in the voice, which was the aura that the superior had inadvertently developed after working for a long time.
A young woman in uniform walked in with a pretty face - judging by the aesthetics of the wasteland, she could be considered pretty.
The woman stood upright, walked to the table, bent down and put down a pile of information, and then spoke aloud.
"Last night, there was fighting in the downtown area of the canyon, and the reserve warehouse was robbed."
The middle-aged man finally retracted his gaze from the screen.
He closed his eyes, raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows, and murmured softly, "What a coward... you continue."
The woman raised her chest very high and reported loudly.
"They speculate that among the three people who took action, there was the defecting soldier Mo Huaitian, and the wasteland survivor Jian Lei..."
The canyon didn't realize that the woman might be Youyou. Is it so easy for two defectors to get in touch?
They have a portrait of Youyou's character and believe that she should be hiding at this moment. It is impossible for her to cause trouble in the short term.
The woman told the story exactly as it happened, and who was the wood-attribute female warrior... Some people speculated that it might be Yellow Scorpion.
How Jian Lei and the other three arrived at the canyon from Central City is not the main point.
In addition to the direct passage, there are other ways from the central city to the canyon, but they are time-consuming and laborious.
The key is that Jian Lei and his team not only robbed the reserve, but also killed many people in the canyon.
After she finished speaking, the middle-aged man was silent for a while, then gnashed his teeth and said, "Tsk, so... Jian Lei must die?"
The woman answered in a clear voice, "The canyon has issued an application. They believe that... not killing him is not enough to deter Xiao Xiao."
"This is nonsense!" the middle-aged man muttered in a low voice, "How careful are they in their actions? How come they have gotten to this point?"
The woman's lips were tightly closed and her eyes were not squinting, as if she didn't hear his complaint.
"Alas," the middle-aged man sighed again, "Don't they know what being a warrior without attributes means?"
The woman thought for a moment and answered seriously, "They may know, but they may not know that clearly."
The middle-aged man snorted with dissatisfaction, "Huh, I don't know exactly, but can you deny the importance of attributeless?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, "Don't say he has no attributes, just look at his modified cultivation methods...can't he be a genius?"
The woman continued to press her lips together. She knew that the man was not angry at her, but this matter... was really helpless.
The middle-aged man fell silent, and then suddenly asked, "Do we have any reason to intervene forcefully?"
The woman hesitated and replied, "If Sendel is not dead... we can consider intervening, but it is not appropriate now."
"Sendel, that's an idiot!" the man cursed mercilessly.
Then, he sighed again, "These guys shouldn't be allowed to manage the canyon... What does Mr. Collins mean?"
Finally there was some emotion on the woman's face, and she smiled bitterly, "You know, without his support..."
"Old fool!" the man cursed with a dark face.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Try to catch him alive. I believe there are people in the canyon who don't want him to die."
The woman hesitated and spoke, "This...doesn't it need to be approved by the meeting?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said calmly, "It's just a B-level... Are you okay?"
The woman replied, "They hope that we can send two supreme warriors to help capture the simple base."
"Don't even think about it!" The man simply refused, "This is a test... and the supreme warrior of the canyon is not allowed to move!"
The woman hesitated and said, "Actually, they want to send the Supreme Warrior to Central City."
"Nonsense!" the man replied without hesitation, "We are told to follow the rules, but they don't want to follow the rules?"
The woman hesitated and spoke again, "They suspect that Jian Lei stole the transformation potion in order to cultivate resistance."
"Resist if you resist," the man actually laughed out loud after hearing this, "Ha, you actually learned to threaten us?"
The woman asked again, "They hope to reduce the supply of Grade A crystals this month."
"I won't agree!" the middle-aged man said simply, "Tell them enough is enough, my patience is limited!"
While the base was having this conversation, an overwhelming search was already underway in the canyon.
This time it was also a level one alert, and it was announced at that time...the date has not yet been determined!
Mainly because Qu Jianlei's attack was too harsh, and... the losses in the canyon were too heavy.
Nearly five tons of gold alone were lost, as well as more than 400 grade A crystals and more than 6,000 grade B crystals.
There are also many other things, such as rare metals, and... potions for regenerating severed limbs.
This amputated limb regeneration potion is very touching.
Many B-level and above warriors are staring at this thing.
However, using amputated limb regeneration potion not only costs a lot of money, but also requires a considerable amount of merit points.
Both of these points are not easy to achieve, especially the latter.
Everyone was working hard to save money and merits, and suddenly heard that the amount of medicine for regenerating amputated limbs was reduced. You can imagine the anger in their hearts.
The three of them, Qu Jianlei, had already gathered together and were hiding, completely unaware of the commotion outside.
Fortunately, he and Xiao Moshan had dug a shelter before and were taking advantage of it now.
Then Qu Jianlei started to open the treasure box with great interest.
There are crystals in the treasure chest, as well as other rare items, such as the tea leaves that Qu Jianlei cherishes.
Moreover, there are many books in it. In addition to various weird and bizarre cultivation methods, there are also books on other aspects.
Qu Jianlei's preliminary analysis suggests that this is not only a backup warehouse, but also some personal treasure boxes stored here.
Youyou was completely shocked. She remembered that when Jian Lei ran out of the warehouse, his hands were empty.
At that time, she thought the robbery had failed, but she didn't care. She didn't expect the harvest to be so great.
"Where have you hidden so many things? Even if you have spatial attributes... you can't bring out so many things, right?"
When Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan heard this, they were all startled, "Does it really have spatial attributes?"
Youyou smiled coquettishly, "I just heard that spatial attributes may exist in theory... There has never been a single instance."
Qu Jianlei smiled bitterly, "Then what else did you say? I thought you had evidence."
Xiao Moshan spoke seriously, "I heard that it is impossible to have spatial attributes at all. That is just a lie."
To be continued...
