Chapter 148: Chapter 16 In Blood and Fire_3

Each round of bombing can now launch six Self- Destructing Fire Thunders.
As the saying goes, it’s slower said than done.
The moment the voice fell, six Self-Destructing Fire Thunders were launched and instantly exploded above Andriya’s head.
Dalton Collen fell to the ground, struggled to stand, and tried to rescue Andriya.
But he could only watch helplessly as she was directly hit by the six Self- Destructing Fire Thunders; her figure engulfed by the intense explosion, flames, and dust.
By the time the dust settled, a white light descended, Andriya’s figure had already disappeared.
There were only scattered flesh and limbs left on the spot, along with crackling flames and a nauseating smell of roasting flesh.
The academy guaranteed survival, not that one wouldn’t get hurt!
“Uh-ah…”
Dalton let out a hurt, beast-like roar but was helpless.
He could only scramble into a cave and hide.
Tracey Lucia no longer paid attention to Dalton.
The purpose of the bombing was not to punish the traitor or vent anger, but to flush out Link Grande, who might be hiding in some corner of the valley.
“Stop.”
After a dozen rounds of bombing, almost every possible hiding spot was blasted.
Still, there was no sign of the target.
In this case, either she misjudged the situation, or the target withstood the blast damage using defensive witch tools.
“Close reconnaissance.”
Tracey Lucia issued a new command.
The two members in charge of reconnaissance immediately left the battle, each controlling Flying Spheres and Bionic Eagles, from different directions and heights, using various reconnaissance modes for a thorough scan of the valley.
Dalton, curled up in the cave, was predictably found.
Still, there was no trace of the target.
“Team one, team two, cross guard, advance.”
Since neither the bombing nor the reconnaissance found the target, Tracey Lucia had to take the measure she least wanted to take.
Physical inspection.
This was truly a last resort.
In this case, they were now exposed, relinquishing their advantage.
The two trios, well-trained, immediately prepared for battle, advancing towards the small valley in a press formation.
Link lay dozens of steps away from Tracey Lucia, buried in the ground, covered by a special cloak.
To stay hidden, he dare not even glance at anyone.
He didn’t even dare breathe heavily.
He relied solely on eavesdropping to understand the enemy’s layout and movements.
When he heard seven people advancing towards the valley, he exhaled softly.
The people of the “Pure Blood Will” were not fools.
They were not going to act according to Link’s calculations.
Bombarding first, as a safety measure, was beyond Link’s expectations.
Link was even prepared for his ambush to fail and was ready to activate his backup plan.
Quietly withdraw, with no intention to engage in battle.
Considering how clever Elise Clark was, she would likely act accordingly.
Luckily, the “Pure Blood” people were so resolute in their intent to kill him that knowing the location was dangerous, they reluctantly decided to investigate.
The ambush plan still had a chance to succeed.
After all, the trap was set right in the middle of the valley, not typically where one would expect a trap.
Moreover, the Timed Auto-Destruction Bomb, apart from being activated by a combination of spiritual power and Magic Power, was not affected by other bomb explosions.
In the cave, Elise was not pleased to see the earlier bombing, the deafening noise, and the brilliant scenes were not caused by her.
Thankfully, she won’t have to wait long before she can ignite her own satisfying explosion.
Tracey Lucia entered the valley safely, waved her hand, and sent both of her groups out to search.
She also went around the craters formed by the explosions, inspecting carefully the now uneven ground.
Given the terrain of the valley, there were only two places suitable for hiding or setting up an ambush.
Either a cave or underground.
Tracey Lucia was checking for signs of excavation.
Link Grande was a dual affinity of the Water System and Wood System, he couldn’t use Earth Systems witchcraft.
If he wanted to hide and set up a trap, besides using the existing caves and pits, he would have to dig by hand, which would inevitably leave traces.
Gradually, Tracey Lucia circled around and arrived at the center of the valley, the flattest area.
“Report, the target is not found.”
The first team searched the left side of the valley and found nothing.
“Report, the target is not found.”
The second team, who had restrained the resistance attempt of Dalton Collen, put him aside and stepped up to report.
Perhaps luck was on their side, all seven people happened to gather in the center of the valley.
“Good, good!”
Elise laughed madly, without hesitating, she triggered the trap.
The enhanced version of the Delayed Blast Tablefire, the standard Delayed
Blast Tablefire, including the great weapon, were all activated at the same time.
A deafening roar sounded.
The mushroom cloud frothed and surged.
It was deathly silent.
