Paxton and his group approached one of the helicopters. Two special forces soldiers stood in front of the military helicopter, ready for duty. Paxton held a compact and exquisite password box in his hand. The password box had an advanced fingerprint recognition system and looked very sturdy.
“Foster Hood, Bodhi Vogt, this password box is of utmost importance. I command you to deliver it to the capital Aerospace Center tonight,” Paxton said in a deep voice to the two soldiers.
“Yes, sir! We promise to complete the mission!” The two soldiers stood at attention, saluting and loudly assuring.
Paxton solemnly handed the password box to Foster’s hands. As long as they safely delivered the password box to the Aerospace Center tonight, the Riceland Espers would return empty-handed even if they came again.
“Depart!” Paxton said in a deep voice.
“Yes!” Foster and Bodhi responded with a salute and quickly boarded the helicopter.
Above the valley, on top of a peak reaching a kilometer high, there were six figures. All six individuals wore black pants and black short-sleeved shirts, emanating a formidable aura. These six individuals were a special team from Riceland, codenamed “Vulture”!
“Captain, the prey is about to emerge from its den,” a tall and muscular black man, known as Black Tiger, said.
Black Tiger held a night vision telescope in his hand, observing the situation below in the valley. A smirk appeared on his face, as if he had long anticipated this turn of events.
Beside Black Tiger was a red-haired Riceland man. He was also tall, with a hooked nose resembling a hawk. His codename was Hunter Hawk.
“Finally coming out, and the item should be in the password box,” Hunter Hawk said, also using a telescope to watch the departing helicopter, a sinister smile on his face.
“Hunter Hawk, now that Atraria’s little mice have come out with the goods, it’s time for us to go down as well,” a woman said behind Hunter Hawk.
The woman had wavy blue hair, and water elements surged around her. She was known as Blue Fox.
“Hehe, is it time to start the hunt?” Next to Blue Fox was a giant over two meters tall.
His muscles were bulging, filled with explosive strength, like a robust brown bear, earning him the nickname Brown Bear.
In addition to Captain Hunter Hawk, Black Tiger, Blue Fox, Brown Bear, there were two others. One had long hair, a medium build, and wind elements swirling around his body. His codename was Wind Falcon.
The other person had deep blue pupils, with a faint glimmer of crimson light deep within. He was a werewolf, known as Evil Wolf.
“I can’t wait to tear these little mice apart. Captain, can we move now?” Evil Wolf asked with an evil grin.
Hunter Hawk lowered the telescope, raised his hand, and swiftly brought it down like a blade hitting the ground. “Move!”
As soon as Hunter Hawk’s command fell, Evil Wolf, Black Tiger, Blue Fox, Brown Bear, Wind Falcon, and the others became fierce. They leaped off the peak over a kilometer high, just like mountain apes, descending directly.
During their descent, their arms occasionally grabbed onto the protrusions of the mountain wall, slowing their descent.
The speed of the six was extremely fast, causing loose rocks to roll down and create a considerable noise.
Powerful searchlights shone towards the steep cliffs, soon capturing the six figures descending rapidly.
Woo-woo-woo…
Sharp alarm sounds immediately rang through the valley.
Upon hearing the alarm, rows of fully armed special forces soldiers quickly assembled.
“Sir, Commissar, we are under attack!” a special forces soldier quickly ran up to Paxton and Zeke, speaking loudly.
“These people have come again!” Paxton’s pupils contracted, his gaze turning towards the steep cliffs. The fact that these people dared to come so blatantly again displeased Paxton greatly.
Behind Paxton, Rowan, Ryder, Brodie, Brayden, and the others brightened up-they could finally contribute.
“Open fire immediately! Shoot those people on the cliff!” Paxton’s eyes flashed with a killing intent as he coldly gave the command.
“Open fire!” Upon hearing Paxton’s command, a signaling special forces soldier immediately shouted loudly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The first to be fired were twenty rockets! Under the cover of darkness, twenty rockets streaked with bright flames, pounding towards the cliff.
Boom!
The powerful rockets exploded on the mountain wall, causing numerous large rocks to roll down from the peak…
“Tsk tsk, are these little mice launching an attack?” Black Tiger, descending from above, glanced at the special forces soldiers below and sneered.
Although the rockets were fast and powerful, none of them hit the six individuals.
The second round of rockets was launched, and the special forces soldiers in the back, holding grenade launchers, immediately opened fire.
Under the cover of darkness, rockets and grenades shot towards the six figures on the mountain wall.
However, this round of attack still had no effect.
Only huge rocks continued to fall, crashing onto the ground with a loud noise.
Hunter Hawk, Black Tiger, Blue Fox, Brown Bear, Wind Falcon, and Evil Wolf had already descended to a position less than fifty meters from the ground and would touch down in a few seconds.
“Ascend immediately!” Paxton’s face turned grim as he shouted loudly.
As long as the helicopter safely ascended, no matter how capable these Espers were, they wouldn’t be able to reach the helicopter in mid-air.
In the armed helicopter, two soldiers were already prepared, and the rotor blades quickly began to spin, generating a strong gust of wind as the helicopter lifted off the ground.
The hulking figure of Brown Bear, resembling the Hulk from the movies, landed first. Following him, Hunter Hawk, Black Tiger, Blue Fox, Wind Falcon, Evil Wolf, and the others also landed.
The ground was littered with huge rocks that had been blasted down by rockets and grenades, and the six individuals stood on these rocks.
The helicopter lifted off the ground and reached a height of over ten meters.
“Trying to run?” A cold light flickered in Hunter Hawk’s eyes. “Brown Bear, bring down the helicopter and find the password box! The rest of you, come with me and kill these little mice on the ground!”
“Captain, watch closely,” Brown Bear said, looking at the helicopter and sneering.
Then, he directly lifted a massive rock and charged towards the helicopter with his enormous body.
Hunter Hawk, Black Tiger, and the others swiftly moved, heading toward the special forces soldiers armed with various weapons.
“Open fire!” The signaling soldier’s face turned solemn as he shouted loudly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The robust earth element surged around Brown Bear’s body, forming a thick and sturdy yellow rock armor that enveloped his entire body.
At this moment, Brown Bear looked like a stone golem.
