Lin Yinan said calmly, "My weapons are over there."

This is a modified Barrett that I've had for over a decade.

Lin Yinan calmly installed the silencer, lay down on the ground, carefully adjusted the weapon, casually picked a foxtail grass, and carefully observed the wind direction, estimating the wind force in her mind.

Everything is ready; we're just waiting for the right opportunity.

Lin Yiheng looked at Lin Yinan, who was lying motionless on the ground like an old monk in meditation. He didn't dare to disturb him and just quietly waited by his side.

As darkness fell, Lin Yiheng's body stiffened. Just as he was about to move, he heard Lin Yinan say, "The time has come, now."

Lin Yiheng only heard a few muffled thuds and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. He looked towards the bandit stronghold in surprise and saw that the bandits on guard of the watchtower had all fallen and were motionless for some reason, without even a struggle.

Lin Yinan put the sniper rifle back into his spatial storage, picked up a flare, and fired it without hesitation.

Yun Mo and Yun Er also noticed the situation on the watchtower.

He pondered that it must have been Lin Yinan who made the move, just then a signal flare exploded in the sky.

Yun Mo quickly composed himself and flew towards the bandit stronghold with Yun Er.

Lin Yinan, carrying a bow and arrows, and Lin Yiheng, having removed their camouflage clothing, followed closely behind.

When Yunye and his men, who were lying in ambush in the woods, saw the signal flare, they moved at the same time. They raised their weapons and ran towards the gate.

After Yun Mo opened the gate, Yun Ye's team rushed in.

Lin Yinan and her brother slowly made their way up to the watchtower; she was going to dig out the bullets that had been fired.

"Why did you dig it out?" Lin Yiheng asked, puzzled.

Lin Yinan expressionlessly plunged the dagger into the bandit's bleeding wound, then with a flick of her wrist, she removed a bullet.

Then they stabbed the wounds haphazardly with a dagger, their aim being to make it impossible to tell what weapon had killed them.

She put away the bullets and said calmly, "Because these things don't belong to this world, to avoid trouble, we have to dig them all out."

After treating all the bandits' wounds, Lin Yinan stood up and looked at the bandit stronghold filled with smoke and the sounds of fighting and screams.

She slung her bow and arrows over her shoulder and said to Lin Yiheng, "Brother, let's go."

Lin Yiheng stared blankly at the chaotic bandit stronghold. "Where are we going?"

"Free purchase".

"Huh?" Lin Yiheng thought he had listened carefully but hadn't understood what his sister was saying.

Lin Yinan smiled at him and said, "Let's go treasure hunting."

The two stood on the watchtower and got a clear view of the bandit stronghold's terrain. The stronghold was hidden in a deep valley in the mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one entrance. The entrance was currently guarded by a small squad arranged by Yunye to prevent the bandits from escaping.

The valley was surrounded by ancient trees and dense vines. Even Lin Yinan, who knew nothing about feng shui, thought that the bandit stronghold was a very good location.

The bandit stronghold was vast, with a spacious courtyard right inside the gate. This was probably where the bandits gathered and discussed matters. Several weapons were scattered in the corner, and several lifeless bandits lay on the ground.

In the very center of the courtyard is a well.

Two hills further on, there were many houses built with sturdy stones. These were all the homes of bandits, and all sorts of sounds were coming from inside them.

Lin Yiheng looked flustered, gripping his sword and warily watching his surroundings, fearing that the bandits might escape from the houses.

Lin Yinan looked around and saw a cave that had been dug out on the mountain behind the council hall.

The brother and sister walked up the path when suddenly a dark figure darted out from a house. Lin Yinan didn't even lift her eyelids before she took an arrow and stabbed it fiercely into the chest of the newcomer.

The bandit died with his eyes wide open, constantly spitting out blood.

Yun family guards, swords in hand, constantly moved around them, ready to ruthlessly kill any young and strong bandits.

Therefore, as the brother and sister walked along the mountain path, they frequently saw the guards fighting with the bandits, or the guards chasing after the bandits.

The entrance to the cave was blocked by a huge rock. Lin Yinan fumbled around for a while before finding the mechanism to open it. The inside was dark and dry, so Lin Yiheng lit a tinderbox.

The light suddenly filled the entire cave, and the brother and sister looked in the direction of the light and saw that the cave was full of bags of grain.

In the corner, there was a hidden wooden door. Lin Yinan pushed the door open and went inside. This stone chamber was not as big as the one outside, and it was filled with boxes and cages of all sizes.

Lin Yinan casually opened one of the boxes, and in the firelight, the contents glittered. She opened two more in succession and found that these boxes were full of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other treasures.

So this was the bandits' treasure trove!

Lin Yinan picked out two boxes of gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings, and quickly put them into her spatial storage before the Yun family arrived.

"Sister..." Lin Yiheng wanted to speak, but was frightened by her sharp gaze.

He obediently shut his mouth. Linjia Village was extremely poor, but with this gold and silver, the journey south shouldn't be too difficult.

As the two stepped out of the cave, they saw Yun Mo leading Yun Er, who was searching for them with torches.

"How did you end up here? I've been looking for you everywhere." Yun Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

The bandit stronghold was in complete chaos, and he was afraid that she might get hurt if he wasn't careful.

Seeing that he was genuinely worried about her, Lin Yinan asked, "Have all the bandits outside been cleared out?"

Yun Mo shook his head, "Not yet, but the main members have been executed. It will take some time to clean up the mess."

Lin Yinan pointed to the cave behind him and said, "This cave is where bandits hide their grain and treasure. You should arrange for someone to guard it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Mo hurriedly entered the cave with a torch, and emerged a moment later with a delighted expression.

"Yun Er, you stay here and keep watch. I'll go down and call for reinforcements."

Lin Yinan and his sister followed him down the mountain. The evening breeze brushed their faces, and the entire valley was filled with a strong smell of blood.

She frowned; the strong smell of blood made her chest feel tight and uncomfortable.

Yun Mo, noticing her unusual behavior, asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Yinan shook her head slightly and casually lied, "It's nothing, the smell of blood is too strong, it's a bit unpleasant to smell."

Yun Mo stepped forward and handed her a piece of candy, saying, "Holding it in your mouth will make you feel better."

Lin Yinan took the candy, her gaze sweeping over his worried face. "Thank you!"

The three arrived at the largest meeting hall in the bandit stronghold, where some women and children who were resisting fiercely were tied up. On the other side of the hall, a dozen or so women with disheveled hair and barely clothed bodies were huddled together.

They were all women who had been kidnapped by bandits. They had been tortured for who knows how long, and their eyes were empty and their faces were blank.

Upon seeing the three people enter, suddenly, a woman in the crowd struggled to her feet and stumbled to Yun Mo's side.

"Brother Yun, you've finally come to save me."
