Adding a heavy stroke of ink to the tranquil mountains, no one dares to be careless.

A sense of tension washed over Tang Yaoyao, her eyes grew serious, and she involuntarily took a few steps back. Then, several gunshots rang out.

The sound, without recoil, was faint and abrupt, like the sound of a bird gun.

They attacked them.

A bullet was fired in Lu Chi's direction.

The deterrent effect of a shotgun is not particularly brutal; the bullets are small, but they can cause injury when they hit a person.

Even if it hits a vital point, it can still be fatal.

Lu Chi was agile and dodged the attack.

The rope started to fall, and Bai Li screamed in terror, "Ah—!"

It's natural to feel fear when faced with something like this.

Tang Yaoyao grabbed the rope to prevent her from falling and stood in front of Lu Chi, saying, "Pull her up, don't worry about the others."

“Miss Tang.” Lu Chi’s purpose was to protect her and he didn’t want to care about anyone else, especially at this time.

"Don't worry about me, I can protect myself." Tang Yaoyao hid behind the tree and saw that there were several people on the other side.

Holding a shotgun, he fired in the direction of the trap.

Because it was too dark, they couldn't see the figures clearly and could only move by their shadows, so they were slow.

Lu Chi's face was covered in sweat as he worried about Tang Yaoyao while trying to hold onto Bai Li.

Bai Li cried uncontrollably, "Don't leave me, don't leave me, I'm scared!"

She had forgotten about her image, crying and covering her ears at the same time.

The sound of the shotgun was too sharp; she couldn't keep going.

"Don't cry, don't speak. If they hear your voice, they'll keep firing this way!" Lu Chi said sternly.

In dim lighting, clear vision is required to spot people clearly, as sound can indicate direction, which is not conducive to them.

Upon hearing this, Bai Li immediately covered her mouth and stopped crying.

The gunfire then ceased.

Lu Chi crouched behind the tree, lifted the rope with one hand, and pulled Bai Li out of the trap as if riding an elevator.

However, the movement was too fast, which startled Bai Li, who couldn't help but scream.

The noise was so loud that the men heard it and started firing their shotguns at us.

Countless bullets rushed in.

Lu Chi's reaction was to throw the white pear behind him, and then a bullet hit his left waist, embedding itself in his flesh.

Upon seeing this, Tang Yaoyao quickly ran over and stood in front of Lu Chi.

She was wearing a bulletproof vest, so the shotgun bullets posed no threat to her; they only caused a slight stinging sensation on her skin.

Lu Chi's eyes widened in surprise, and he picked up a dagger and threw it in the direction the bullets were fired.

All that could be heard was a pitiful scream.

Bai Li behind him was terrified, her legs went weak and she squatted on the ground, trembling.

"Can you do it?" Tang Yaoyao asked.

Lu Chi said, "It's alright, it doesn't hurt. I can take down those guys!"

After saying that, he quickly crossed the bushes and disappeared from Tang Yaoyao's sight.

He didn't want Tang Yaoyao to be in danger, so he quickly dealt with those people.

Tang Yaoyao scratched her back, where several bullets were dented inside her bulletproof vest. The bullets from the shotgun were silver-white and very small, and she picked them off one by one.

Bai Li regained her senses, her eyes blurred with tears as she looked at Tang Yaoyao: "I..."

Tang Yaoyao slapped Bai Li across the face and said coldly, "Useless! You can't do anything and only cause trouble for others. If we hadn't saved you, we wouldn't have encountered this situation!"

She was furious.

This woman can't protect herself, what's she trying to prove?

They'll only make things worse.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Bai Li covered her face and said, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
