Tang Yue's gaze was cold. These spies really had no end in sight. Just who was this nobody her father had killed that warranted these people coming back so openly and repeatedly for revenge?

However, since they're here, there's no reason to let them leave.

Tang Yue moved quickly; she had no time to dig for herbs. She was determined to eliminate all these people here today.

Tang Yue's attention remained fixed on the three men, one of whom was particularly alert. He sensed someone watching them, but after turning his head twice, he found nothing.

"Oda-kun, what have you been looking at?"

Oda-kun searched the surroundings again, and only spoke after finding nothing.

"Be careful, I have a feeling there are people around here."

"Someone? Ha! How could that be? Mr. Oda, to use a Chinese expression, you're being a bit paranoid right now. There are cliffs all around here, and it took us a lot of effort to get down. I don't believe there's anyone with that kind of ability in this place in China."

"Higashiyama-kun, I think we should be more cautious. Please don't forget how Kawano-kun died."

"Hi!"

Although Higashiyama-kun outwardly listened to Oda-kun's words, he didn't really take them seriously.

What kind of capable people could exist in such a poor and remote place?

The bodies of his comrades had been devoured by wolves beyond recognition, but he figured it must be related to the top military talent in China. Giving them this mission was an insult.

Tang Yue couldn't understand what Xiao Rizi was saying, but judging from their expressions, the one who didn't seem to care was obviously the more suitable to make a move.

On the side, a man sat on the ground with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to what was happening around him.

Tang Yue had already arrived at the rocky beach. Looking at the signs that the rocks had been disturbed, she didn't know whether it was Li Yuanzi and his group or these few petty spies who did it.

She sensed that these three were no ordinary people, and she wasn't sure she could defeat them if she faced them directly, given the formidable weapons they carried.

Tang Yue went into the formation and took out two pistols. She stood quietly on the cliff top, out of sight of the others, and waited.

"Oda-kun, Tano-kun, it's getting late, and we haven't found anything here. I think it's more important for us to go up and complete the mission."

Oda looked around at the stark white bones, his face grim. These were the warriors of their great empire, dying so unjustly in another country; he felt an intense hatred in his heart.

"Okay, let's go."

Tianye-kun, who had been keeping his eyes closed, finally spoke up, "We can't get up there, there are people up there."

Oda's expression changed, and he quickly turned around to find cover. Higashiyama smiled and said, "Tano-kun, if there were people up there, they would have already opened fire on us. What you're saying really has no basis at all."

Tano-kun continued, "She probably didn't have a gun, but she spotted us a long time ago."

"Hahaha, no gun. That's hilarious. Tano-kun, I don't know when you became so timid? You're scared like this by someone without a gun. This isn't like a warrior of our great empire."

Higashiyama shook his head and laughed, but Tano ignored him and remained seated.

Oda-kun was very vigilant. After hearing Tano-kun's words, he knew that his intuition was correct; someone had indeed been watching them. The three of them were the highest-ranking, most skilled, and most complex of the spies sent out this time.

Oda-kun really didn't want to participate in this mission, but his family had given him the order, so he had no choice but to do it. However, after 26 people died at once, he still felt fear about the mission.

"Tanno-kun, what do you think?"

"wait."

"What do you mean?" Higashiyama-kun protested. "Oda-kun, Tano-kun, you two are nothing like the warriors of our great empire. How can someone without a gun scare you like this?"

Oda-kun was tired of listening to Higashiyama-kun's rambling. "Higashiyama-kun, the reason she didn't fire is probably because we weren't far enough away. If we go up now and she fires while we're climbing, we'll be easy targets."

Dongshan-kun didn't seem to care. "It seems you've all forgotten the techniques we used in training. Since you're all so afraid of dying, I'll go up first myself."

When Oda realized he couldn't persuade the person, he simply stopped trying. After all, it was his own life, and he didn't want to waste his breath.

Dongshan-kun grabbed the rope he had just lowered and began to climb. Although he had spoken with great righteousness, he was actually still wary. Whose life isn't precious?

But even after Dongshan-kun climbed to the top of the cliff and reached the rocky beach, he didn't see a single person, nor did he witness the assassination attempt they had imagined.

After searching all the places where people could hide, Dongshan-jun relaxed and lay on the top of the ravine, waving down at the top.

"Oda-kun, Tano-kun, it's perfectly safe up here. There's no one like the people you're talking about at all. Would you like to come up? I think this is the perfect time to eat barbecue."

Tano-kun, who was below the cliff, had already opened his eyes. He looked up at Higashiyama-kun's blurry face and squinted in thought. Could it be that he had misheard?

But how could it be wrong?

This was something he had learned from years of combat experience; he could always detect the killing intent his opponent released. He had just sensed a strong killing intent.

The three of them were together, so it couldn't be that any of them had the intention to kill; it could only be someone else.

But Dongshan-kun is still perfectly fine. Could it be that person is planning to wait until they go up there and kill them together? But is that even possible?

If they weren't high-level warriors, one of them could kill dozens.
