Chapter Thirty-Four: Annihilating the Devils

  Nine people came in, each carrying a large bag on their back. They were all covered in snow, and their faces were not clearly visible due to the frost and fog on their hats. Their clothing was different from that of ordinary hunters or mountain climbers, and they seemed to be wearing some kind of standardized cold-weather gear.

  These people came in and immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, looking like they had been rolling around for a long time in this snowy weather, each one exhausted and drained.

  Tang Qiuli sat there motionless, not saying a word. Tang Qiuli's brothers were used to taking his actions as a command signal, seeing that he didn't move or speak, everyone also fell silent and sat there. For a moment, the cave was filled with an abnormal silence.

  After a moment of silence, someone moved towards them, why did he move? Look at the way this person walks, forcing his spirit, as if he might fall down at any time, obviously showing signs of physical exhaustion or not having eaten for a long time.

  "Little brothers, what a coincidence! Sorry to disturb you!" As soon as he spoke, his distinct Northeastern accent revealed that he was a local. His pale face wore a flattering smile, and his not-too-large eyes shone with a sharp and cunning glint from behind his glasses, constantly sizing up Tang Qiu and the others, his gaze shifting restlessly.

  "What's the point of coming or not, this kind of weather is enough to choke anyone. Where did it come from?" Autumn Brother asked in a slow and drawn-out tone. "Forget it, I was with some Japanese friends on our way to New Tokyo, originally planning to hunt and play in the mountains for a few days. But then we ran into this terrible weather, being battered by wind and snow in the open wilderness for several days. We barely managed to crawl here, seeing the firelight from afar. Luckily, we met you brothers, or else we would have been done for!" As he spoke, his face still showed a lingering sense of fear, it seemed that the storm had given them quite a hard time!

  After finishing, his eyes stared straight at the wild chicken stewed with monkey head mushrooms in the pot. His Adam's apple kept bobbing up and down, and his saliva was uncontrollably dripping down. Looking at him, he must not have eaten for two or three days.

  "Hey, you young brothers, let's talk business. Is there food to eat? Share some with us, don't eat for free, give us money!" He said, pulling out a wad of cash from his pocket and shoving it into Autumn's hand. Tang Qiuli gave Autumn a signal with her eyes, and Autumn smiled knowingly. "No need to mention money, we're just lucky to have met. If you don't mind, there's food in the pot, help yourselves!" Of course, the money was still taken without hesitation.

  "Thank you, thank you!" The man said, turning his head to shout at the eight people still lying on the ground panting: "Haya Gu, Mi Xi Mi Xi!" This sentence really worked, and those few people were like hearing God's call, they immediately came to their senses and rushed to the fire heap in a hurry.

  In the cave of Li Ma Mountain, a sound of wolf-like devouring and crunching arose. "Wow, wow, so good!" someone exclaimed in excitement, while busily stuffing food into their mouth as if they had never seen food before. The sound of gnawing on the wild chicken bones was deafening, like a pack of wolves chewing on bones. It sent chills down one's spine. Xiaoling instinctively leaned closer to Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli held Xiaoling's hand in his palm and found that her palms were sweaty. This little girl was a bit tense, but it was understandable - anyone who saw these guys eating would feel uncomfortable and awkward. Tang Qiuli patted Xiaoling's head and gave her a brilliant smile, which immediately calmed her down. Isn't that strange?

  Taking advantage of their focus on eating, Tang Qiuli gave a signal to the Autumn Brothers, and Qiuquan understood tacitly. He quietly walked into the tent, and soon, two shotguns and ten hand grenades were distributed among them. Tang Qiuli indicated that each of the Autumn Brothers should take one shotgun, while he himself hid three hand grenades in his clothes. After finishing this, they pretended to be nonchalant, chatting about some unimportant and childish topics, giving people the impression that they were just a few naive and inexperienced village kids who had never seen the world.

  These people quickly finished off the wild chicken stewed with mushrooms, leaving not a single piece behind. They were still unsatisfied and licked their lips, looking down to see that there wasn't even a single chicken bone left on the ground. Good grief, they ate like wolves, almost gnawing at the pot itself.

  After eating, the faces of these people had some color, and their spirits were immediately restored. The wandering life could be said to have returned to the body, which was equivalent to picking up a life.

  With food in their bellies, their spirits also recovered. It seemed that only physical strength was still lacking a bit. These few people had changed completely. The translator's face no longer had the flattering expression, replaced by an arrogant and disdainful look. The violent aura on those eight people's bodies could not be suppressed and began to emanate outwards.

  Alas, these people are sometimes not even as good as the wild animals in the mountains. They turn against you faster than turning a page in a book. This kind of thing is better fed to dogs, and it's stronger to feed it to dogs than to let these people eat it. Especially those eight Japanese people, look at their appearance, each with a full face of flesh and eyes with a fierce glow, none of them are good guys.

  These guys ate and drank their fill, as if Tang Qiu didn't exist, comfortably leaning on the big bag, loudly discussing in Japanese. In their opinion, those few kids with a head full of cornflowers wouldn't understand Japanese, so they spoke without any restraint.

  Good heavens, these guys didn't even think with the back of their heads that among these kids there is a pervert named Tang Qiuli! He speaks Japanese better than they do, and he clearly hears every word of what they think others can't understand.

  It turned out that these guys were from the Great Japan Mining Development Corporation, and four of them were senior agents of the Kwantung Army's special agency in Shenyang. The one wearing glasses was their interpreter. Just two days ago, they discovered a large gold mine not far from this mountain, with high-grade ore. These guys were overjoyed and worked hard for the Great Japanese Empire, His Majesty the Emperor, and the Greater East Asia Holy War.

  Taking advantage of their excitement, they continued to search nearby and found another gold mine. These guys were overjoyed, carefully drawing maps, recording various data, preparing to return and report their achievement. But in the midst of their excitement, they encountered a severe snowstorm, the food they brought was gone, and they got lost in the storm. It seemed that they would soon become the mountain god's souls.

  Luckily, I don't know how, but I felt my way to this cave and saw the firelight inside. It was like grabbing a lifesaving straw, so I summoned up my last bit of strength and crawled in. What happened next, everyone knows, so there's no need to repeat it.

  According to their original intention, they would have killed Tang Qiu and the few Manchu children as soon as they entered the cave. After all, killing them was no different from slaughtering a few chickens, and letting them live would be a waste of resources for the Great Japanese Empire. However, they were really exhausted, both physically and mentally, from the ordeal in the wind and snow over the past few days. They didn't even have the energy to lift their guns or open their eyelids. It wasn't that they didn't want to kill people, it's just that they currently had no strength or interest.

  Look, this is the true nature of Japanese devils, beastly thinking.

  Tang Qiuli listened with mixed emotions, both angry and delighted. He was angry that the Japanese devils didn't take Chinese lives seriously, thinking they could just kill people without reason or provocation, especially after being hungry for several days. If not for this unexpected turn of events, who knows what would have happened? Tang Qiuli's group wasn't prepared either.

  On the other hand, he was delighted that these Japanese devils had found such a high-quality gold mine for him, a gift from heaven! With this discovery, they could expand their team and improve their equipment, no longer worrying about survival. The Japanese devils were bringing about their own demise, but Tang Qiuli would spare their lives as a token of appreciation for the great gift they had brought him.

  Tang Qiuli used his eyes to signal to his companions to prepare for battle, watching his gestures and actions. Tang Sheng and the others were facing the Japanese devils for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Tang Qiuli looked at them with encouraging eyes, and a strong fighting spirit surged up in him. Infected by Tang Qiuli's emotions, the companions' emotions stabilized, and they entered their best state. After all, the psychological quality of these core members was extremely stable.

  At this time, two Japanese people started arguing fiercely. One said that the gold reserve of this gold mine could be as much as 800 tons, while the other said it was at most 600 tons. One said, "You doubt my knowledge?" The other said, "I believe in my own abilities." The two men argued until their faces were red and they almost came to blows. It was a real case of dogs biting each other's fur. Tang Qiubai couldn't help but wish that the two would start fighting, best if they would use knives or guns.

  Finally, a guy named Koizumi Heiichiro, who seemed to be their leader, came out and calmed down the ridiculous dispute. Koizumi said that no matter how much oil was found, it all belonged to the Great Japanese Empire, and that both of them were meritorious individuals whose contributions would be recognized by the Emperor and remembered by the people of the empire. The two disputing guys immediately became like brothers, hugging and shaking hands, even shedding tears of excitement, and then shouting "Long live the Emperor!" The remaining guys also joined in the cheering, and the translator was also infected, completely forgetting that he was Chinese, watching their behavior with a mixture of contempt and amusement, feeling like a clown in a circus. Tang Qiuli had an urge to cut off their dog heads with a knife, but it wasn't time yet, so she let these beasts live a little longer, waiting to hear something useful from them.

  Ke Tang Qiu Li listened and regretted it, why?

  These few Japanese devils have finished their legitimate business and are now plotting evil things.

  People say "when you're full and warm, you think of sex", that's for normal people, can be forgiven. But these Japanese devils and traitors, after eating the food provided by good-hearted people, not only didn't feel grateful, but also wanted to kill them, and even had lustful thoughts.

  These guys are full of filthy language, Manchuria doesn't have anything good, this woman is not bad, you see, the flower girl sitting next to that kid over there is also very pretty, definitely still a virgin, that face, that waist, that chest, it's simply the best among the Manchurian flower girls I've played with, my saliva is flowing down, I hate to do her right away, a guy named Araki Yasuo, even turned around and made obscene gestures towards Xiaoling, his mouth kept shouting "Kūdō kūdō" which means **.

  Damn it, these beasts don't even know where Tang Qiuli's reverse scale is! Legend has it that there is a scale on the dragon's neck, which is the reverse scale. Whoever touches it will die! Xiao Ling is Tang Qiuli's reverse scale. Today, I'll send you all back to your hometown to see your Jumping God, no, it's Tianshen Dadi, death is near, and you still don't know what's going on. Despise stupid little Japan!

  They then discussed whether to use a knife or a gun to get rid of Tang Qiuli, in their eyes, Tang Qiuli was already a dead man, it was just a matter of how he would die.

  In the end, they decided to use a knife, as it was unnecessary to waste bullets on just a few children, and it wouldn't show off the grandeur of the Great Japanese Empire's warriors. The guns were left hanging on their bodies unused! Three people went to the entrance of the cave, blocking it to prevent them from escaping, and directly killed the man. They left the girl behind, as it was snowing heavily outside and she couldn't escape anyway. There was no hurry to return, so they kept the girl for everyone to enjoy. Then, they started arguing over who would be the first to rape the girl, and who would be second. In the end, it was that devil Koizumi Heiichiro who went first, as he was the leader here. Look, those little Japanese devils knew their rules, and applied them in this case!

  Tang Qiuli's lungs were about to burst with rage when he heard this. He regretted not killing these bastards earlier, so he wouldn't have to listen to their nonsense now. His ears were aching from being polluted by their filthy language. After dealing with them, he'd have to get Xiaoling to clean his ears thoroughly, lest he be left with some lingering harm or aftereffects. Didn't they know that this wasn't suitable for children?! Damn it, how infuriating! Spit!

  Tang Qiuli made a gesture to Qiu Sheng and Shan Hu, telling them to take care of the three devils at the entrance. He then made another gesture to Qiu Quan, indicating that he would handle the other six devils himself. Xiao Ling's eyes widened as she watched everyone, her grip on Tang Qiuli's hand tightening. Her dark eyes darted back and forth across their faces, and although she was a girl experiencing this for the first time, it was normal to feel tense. But seeing everyone's calm and composed expressions, she smiled slightly, revealing her pearly whites, and two beautiful dimples appeared on her pale face. Suddenly, it was as if a warm spring breeze had blown in, almost making Tang Qiuli drunk with infatuation. For a moment, he felt dazed, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with me? I'm getting distracted at a time like this!" But Xiao Ling was indeed too captivating!

  As the three Japanese devils walked to the entrance of the cave, they hadn't turned around yet and were still facing away from Tang Qiu. The five devils on the other side and a traitor, with faces full of murderous intent and lecherous grins, were walking towards them in a relaxed manner. No wonder the Japanese devils didn't have any vigilance - weren't they just a few kids? Weren't they just meat on a plate, food in a pot, waiting to be slaughtered?

  Do you still need to be so tense? Acting as if they were arch-enemies, it's also too damaging to the dignity of the great Japanese Empire samurai. So, without any guard at all, how would they know that these are not just ordinary kids, but tigers coming down from the mountains and dragons rising from the sea? Before long, this group of fools will pay the price for their arrogance, and that price is their worthless dog lives! They won't even have a chance to regret it!

  Here is the translation:

  "Seeing a good opportunity, why hesitate? Tang Qiuli suddenly gave an order, "Fire!" Immediately after, intense gunfire erupted. The first to fall were the three devils at the entrance of the cave. Autumn Brother's back was instantly riddled with bullets, twenty rounds in one burst! Autumn Brother was ruthless enough, perhaps excited, and didn't let go of the trigger. One burst of bullets swept past like an iron broom. That wasn't all - Tiger immediately threw a hand grenade over. The three devils took another free flight, and it was impossible to tell how many were left. Everywhere was shredded flesh and internal organs. Even if their own mother came, she wouldn't be able to recognize them. One arm flew directly into the fire pit, and the flames shot up high."

  Tang Qiuli hugged Xiaoling tightly and rolled over at the same time, a hand grenade was thrown over as soon as Autumn Spring brother's gun fired.

  What a coincidence! The translator was the first to be knocked down by Qi Quan's bullet. It seems that being a traitor doesn't have any benefits, does it? Let's send him to his death first!

  A deafening explosion sounded in the cave, but the terrain at the entrance and inside the cave was not quite the same. The impact of Tang Qiuli and Autumn Spring Brother's attack was not as neat and tidy as that of Autumn Sheng Brother and Mountain Tiger on the other side, a little unexpected, adding some trouble!
