Volume 1: Ghosts of the Underworld Wail... Chapter 42: Fierce Battle Outside the Graveyard (2)

  As they walked closer, Xie Nan furrowed her brow in confusion. Why was there no one around?

  Wild grass sways gently in the breeze, a series of earth and stone mounds emit a desolate atmosphere, tall shrubs bask in the sunlight in the distance, emitting a comfortable sigh.

  Xu Haoming and Zhao Yu cautiously walked out of their hiding place, both crouching down to guard against any movement. Xie Nan had just lifted her foot when she suddenly heard a very faint "thud" sound, probably the sound of a small stone falling to the ground.

  "Be careful!" he shouted loudly, and Zhao Yu's body was pulled away from him with a sudden force.

  "Bang!" Xu Haiming, who was walking in the front, had just woken up. His body hadn't even reacted yet when his skull was blown open by a bullet.

  "Bang!" The simultaneous gunshot also made Zhao Yu's shoulder shoot out a blood arrow, and if it wasn't for Xie Nan's pull, it would have hit his heart.

  Behind a tall mound in the distance, Yuan Hua looked at Chen Long with embarrassment: "Really sorry, slipped my foot."

  Chen Long simply looked at him calmly and patted Jiang Feng's shoulder: "Not bad."

  Jiang Feng burst out laughing: "Haha, what's there to say? Explode, haha!"

  Yuan Tian put away his gun and shrugged apologetically: "What a pity."

  "Haha, it's already not bad, to be able to recreate one under their vigilant eyes, you've done a great job." Chen Long's face was pale, but he smiled warmly.

  Yuan Hua's eyes were somewhat complex: "How did you know someone was coming to attack us?"

  Chen Long narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light burst out from them: "This middle-aged man actually dared to tell us some things, isn't he afraid that we will spread it outside? From this, it can be seen that their accomplices must be here. So, it's also normal for them to come and ambush us. We must take advantage of the time when that person goes back to get reinforcements to quickly withdraw."

  "What about this guy?" Jiang Feng used the gun butt to nudge the middle-aged man who was unconscious.

  "Kill him." Chen Long's eyes were still cold and stern, causing Yuan Hua to feel a chill run down his spine as he tried to speak up, but the words got stuck in his throat.

  Jiang Feng obviously wasn't a kind person either, he just nodded indifferently and then pressed the sniper rifle against the middle-aged man's head.

  "Bang!" The skull burst instantly, and red and white matter "gushed" out.

  Yuan Hua's eyes contracted for a moment, and Yuan Tian secretly sighed.

  "If this guy meets up with those people, it will pose a huge threat to us. I think you wouldn't want to be shot in the head without knowing what's going on either?" Chen Long glanced at Yuan Tian with a hint of a smile, "The things he told us aren't the most important. He thinks that if we know the enemy's numbers and strength, we won't kill him. That's a bit too naive."

  After a moment of silence, Chen Long gazed at Xie Nan and Zhao Yu carefully retreating behind cover in the distance. His voice was icy cold: "These people are now irreconcilable with us. If we want to get out alive, we must take them all down. This middle-aged man is probably their only long-range sniper. At most, they have a few more powerful mercenaries or bomb experts. As long as we're careful, we still have a good chance of winning the final victory."

  Actually, there were many things that Chen Long didn't say. When he came out of the ancient tomb, he had already discovered that the magnetic field around him had changed. If his guess was correct, the feng shui of this place had been destroyed, but it hadn't let the guy hiding in the dark sleep. Was it going to wake up? Chen Long didn't know if it was because of their own reasons that the other party's plan had failed, but in his opinion, it was probably due to the middle-aged man's lack of skill.

  Moreover, if Yuan Tian didn't exist, Chen Long would have killed Yuan Hua without hesitation. However, Chen Long still had a good impression of Yuan Tian, who was a chivalrous person and meticulous in his actions. It's just that he suspected Yuan Hua, which made him feel somewhat disheartened. If they were to kill Yuan Hua under these circumstances, Chen Long and Jiang Feng would inevitably become enemies with Yuan Tian.

  How can Yuan Hua die and Yuan Tian not be suspected? Chen Long furrowed his brow, gazing at the clouds and mist on the distant mountain peaks, lost in thought.

  Chen Long is a very ordinary person, to be precise, his good nature far outweighs the evil, and he is willing to help others. If in ancient times, it can be said that he was a chivalrous hero who hated evil as much as an enemy. Towards these criminal organizations that randomly kill people, all sorts of negative emotions in his heart thoroughly erupted. Since only killing can stop killing, Chen Long will not hesitate at all.

  After a moment of consideration, Chen Long looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost four o'clock: "Let's head back by our original route."

  "Original road?" Jiang Feng was slightly stunned, "The original road is to go in the direction where those two people retreated, what if we run into them?"

  Chen Long's eyes flashed, and his deep pupils emitted an indescribable emotion: "It's just in time, I've already cast a small spell to follow them. Even if we meet, we can hide. Moreover, we should be faster than them. As long as we step on the return path, it won't be easy for them to catch up with us. After all, your physical strength is well maintained, and our speed is fast. Even if one or two of them chase after us, it's not a difficult task to deal with them."

  Jiang Feng thought that something was not quite right, because according to the map, walking from behind would also work, it's just a detour, but Chen Long's words were indeed reasonable, walking from the front would obviously save a lot of time, and since Chen Long said there was no danger, then there was no danger, anyway he wouldn't harm himself. Thinking this way, Jiang Feng didn't express any opposing opinions either.

  Yuan Hua was lost in thought and didn't say anything. In his opinion, it made no difference which way he went, as he wasn't in any danger anyway.

  Yuan Tian opened his mouth, thinking it was better to be more stable, but when he saw Chen Long's confident eyes, the words at the corner of his mouth were swallowed back.

  Three people stepped over the shattered skull and corpse, and took a step forward.

  Xie Nan supported Zhao Yu, almost turning his head back every step, afraid that those people would catch up.

  Xie Nan's face twitched as he recalled what had just happened. Judging by the direction of the bullet, those people were at least a hundred meters away, yet Ah Ming was still shot in the head. If it weren't for that stone's warning, wouldn't Ah Yu also have been shot through the heart? What kind of person in the travel group has such marksmanship? Normally, ordinary people haven't even touched a gun before, so it's impossible for them to have good marksmanship. China is not like foreign countries, with extremely strict gun control, ordinary people have never even touched a gun, and even if they had one, because of the recoil, it's not easy to practice well.

  The person who fired the first shot was even more impressive to Xie Nan, because the timing of the first shot was too good. It was just when the stone fell that he fired without hesitation. As a result, the second shot was much worse, not only slower in reaction, but also in such a situation should have re-adjusted the direction, if so, Ah Yu estimated would have died too.
