Chapter 62
Not far away, Shaoxing Yang, hiding in the dark, smacked his lips.
"He doesn't look like a good person."
Shaoxing Yang placed his hands on the hilts on both sides of the knife, waiting for the opportunity to come.
The mercenary team didn't see anyone after landing. Logically speaking, even if the exploration team was unreliable and didn't plan to land in the open space, the loud noise here just now should have attracted people over. However, they waited for a long time and didn't see them coming, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
Did they find the wrong place, or is there another ambush nearby?
Unfortunately, the positioning device was still on the helicopter, and the helicopter was still being molded by vines like plasticine. It would be a thankless task to go up and take down the positioning device. Without the positioning device, they had no way of knowing the specific location of the people.
"Forget it, they must be nearby anyway," the captain said, slinging his long knife behind his back. "Let's look for them nearby. Remember not to get separated."
Lina clutched the shoulder strap of the medical kit and said uneasily, "Do I feel like someone is watching us?"
Shaoxing Yang was shocked. No way, is this possible?
"Lina, don't be so suspicious," Bayard said, patting her shoulder. "You're like a menopausal old woman."
"You! Say it again if you dare!"
"No, don't quarrel." Neil advised weakly.
"Alright," the captain said with a cold gaze, "If you ruin this important matter, I'll make you pay."
Several people immediately shut their mouths, fearing that the captain would be really angry.
The captain randomly chose a direction and led a few people forward. Yan Hong, who was hiding in a tree, quietly watched the people passing by. They were clearly walking in her shadow but seemed unaware of it. Yan Hong narrowed her eyes dangerously and began to estimate the abilities of the people.
After the few people walked some distance away, Shao Xingyang appeared silently from behind the tree. He had already found the weakest and most critical person in the team, who was Lina who was protected in the back.
She was the only one among all the people who did not carry a weapon, and she was standing in the most central and safe position. In front of her were the man called the captain and the man named Bayard, and behind her was the boy named Neil.
Shaoxing Yang didn't take Neil seriously. His first target was Lina. She was obviously the healer of this team. Getting rid of her first would cut off the team's recovery path.
The thinking process did not take long. Shao Xingyang ran towards their rear with two knives in hand. The sound of leaves being crushed was heard only three times, and Shao Xingyang had already approached Neil's rear. He pierced Neil's chest with a knife and threw him aside cleanly. Then he went to his real target this time.
But just as the blade was about to pierce Lina's heart, an earth shield suddenly appeared and blocked the attack. In the end, his knife only penetrated into the earth shield and failed to actually hurt Lina herself.
The attack missed, and Shao Xingyang stepped on the earth shield, used the force to pull out the long sword, turned backward, and avoided Bayard's red scimitar.
"Oh, I really did lure him out." Bayard spun the scimitar in his hand. "Hi~ You're such a clueless rat."
Just when Lina said she felt someone was watching them, several people had already noticed the people lying in ambush nearby, but they tacitly agreed not to believe it, but to act as if they didn't care, so as not to alert the enemy in the dark and bring them out into the open.
"Rat?" Shao Xingyang snorted with a smile, "You are a bunch of shameless people, and you still have the nerve to call others rats."
"Lina..."
Neil spat out a mouthful of blood, covered the hole in his chest and stumbled back. Because Shao Xingyang's target was not him, the attack just now did not take his life directly.
Lina dodged the spitted blood, pressed her palm on the hole in Neil's chest, and began to use her healing ability.
Shao Xingyang wanted to step forward when he saw this, but was stopped by Bayard who appeared out of nowhere. The two long swords were firmly caught by the strange red scimitar, and neither of them gave way to the other.
"You're actually trying to sneak attack our team's healer? How shameless!" Bayard said with a curved smile, looking particularly irritating. "Why are you picking on a kid? Just fight me. I promise I'll chop you into pieces."
Shaoxing Yang snorted, glanced at the treetops beside Lina and the others, and signaled Yan Hong to act quickly.
Now Bayard has been lured away, Neil is injured, and Lina is concentrating on using healing. Only the captain is left. If we take advantage of him when he's off guard...
Yan Hong swung out a knife, and the dagger flew towards the captain's face. Yan Hong seized the opportunity to jump off the branch, preparing to deliver a fatal blow from behind Lina.
The next moment, Yan Hong was hit in the abdomen by a scabbard that suddenly appeared, disrupting her movement trajectory. She flew out and rolled several times on the ground.
Yan Hong curled up in a protective position in severe pain, holding her stomach tightly with both hands. She suspected that her internal organs were broken by the blow just now. The pain was so severe that the scene in front of her began to lose focus and she could not see the objects clearly.
She finally recovered and struggled to raise her head, and saw clearly that the person who had attacked her was the captain.
The knife she threw in advance did not succeed in attracting the captain's attention. Instead, it allowed the captain to find the direction where she would appear. Just a horizontal slash with the scabbard made her almost unable to stand up due to the pain.
Just at this time, Lina also completed her treatment, and Neil's chest had returned to normal. On the other side, Shao Xingyang was also about to fall behind under Bayard's fierce attack.
The situation was bad. Their raid was a complete failure. Not only did they fail to take the initiative, but they also exposed themselves.
Shaoxing Yang saw Yan Hong curled up in pain on the ground, and he quickly distanced himself from Bayarda, at the cost of his left arm being scratched by the scimitar. He then jumped to Yan Hong's side and took a defensive posture.
"That's all," Bayard said, shaking the bloody scimitar. "It seems he only knows how to use a little trickery."
Neil rubbed his itchy chest and said, "Be careful, there are more than two of them."
The captain walked out from the back of the team and said to the furious Shao Xingyang, "Where is your captain?"
"Huh? None of your business."
Shao Xingyang's words drew Lina's ridicule: "Could it be that your captain got scared and left you two behind and ran away?"
"Bullshit!" Shao Xingyang pointed at Lina and yelled, "How dare you, shorty, pretend to be a girl!"
"What!" Lina was furious. "I'm a girl! You're short and fat, and I'm petite and cute! You're such a jerk!"
"Have you had enough of the quarrel?" Bayard scratched his ears and said impatiently, "Lina, you're really hopeless. You can even quarrel with such a person."
The captain gave orders coldly with no emotion in his eyes.
"Since their captain is not here, let's get rid of them all."
Bayard narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay."
It seemed that the outcome was already determined. Bayard walked slowly towards Shaoxing Yang with a scimitar in his hand, ready to kill the two men.
Suddenly, an inexplicable fear suddenly rushed up from Bayard's spine to his brain. The instinctive fear seemed to strangle his throat and he could not make a sound.
wrong!
Bayard leaned sideways to block, but was still hit by the flying fire blade. The tremendous high temperature rushed towards the mercenary team, almost distorting time and space.
Neil put his palms on the ground, and a huge earth wall rose up in front of them, barely withstanding the terrible heat wave. However, it collapsed on the spot after withstanding it. The soil that had been dried out of moisture became brittle and collapsed on the spot.
Bayard, who had no earth wall as a barrier, was in a miserable state. He was lifted off the ground by the heat wave and did not stop until he hit a tree. The tree was shaken by the unexpected disaster and the trunk was almost broken.
The sudden heat wave was as powerful as a bomb explosion. Bayard's hands were burned to charcoal and he fell unconscious under a tree.
Lina, still in shock, supported the weak Neil and asked helplessly: "What's going on?"
The captain narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure surrounded by flames in the shadows.
Tang Zeyu walked out of the fire, his whole body covered in flames, but not even a hair was burned. The only evidence that the flames attached to his body were real was the black footprints he left behind in his path. The weeds at Tang Zeyu's feet instantly fell to the ground when he passed by, turning into charred carbonized matter.
As Tang Zeyu gradually approached, the mercenary team could clearly feel the temperature around them rising, and their faces were burning with pain.
The captain pushed the young man and told him to hide behind a tree and not to come out without his consent.
If something happens to the financier, they won’t be able to get the balance.
But after the captain saw Tang Zeyu's face clearly, his expression instantly twisted, with surprise, hatred, excitement and an ambiguous smile appearing on his face at the same time.
"Long time no see, Captain Tang."
The mercenary team and Shaoxing Yang Yanhong and others were all stunned.
These two people know each other? How come they don't know?
Tang Zeyu raised his eyes, looked carefully at the captain's face, and said slowly:
"Who are you?"
The situation suddenly became very awkward. Shaoxing Yang scratched his head, not knowing whether the two people really knew each other or just pretended to know each other.
"Hmph, there's no point in pretending to be stupid." The captain stared at Tang Zeyu angrily, his eyes almost burning a big hole in the person opposite him.
"Today, I will return double the humiliation I suffered from you earlier!"
Lina's hand loosened, and Neil fell limply to the ground.
"Wow, I think I just heard something incredible."
Neil raised his head weakly and said, "Bayard, he seems to be dying..."
Lina turned around and saw Bayard who was still unconscious, then she realized: "Oh, yes, Bayard."
After saying that, he trotted over to treat Bayard's injuries.
While the captains of the two sides were confronting each other, the others had a chance to catch their breath. Chen Yunliang just appeared and treated the two injured teammates with ease. He also looked in the direction of Lin Na and complained that the other party's treatment skills were too poor.
"How can you start treating it from the outside? If you do that, even if it looks better, it's still rotten inside. Hasn't this person ever been to school?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was punched by Yan Hong.
"Fuck! You're going to hurt me to death!"
"I thought you were used to it, so you just used the most efficient method," Chen Yunliang said, pushing his crooked glasses. "If you can't do it, I'll just hold back a little next time."
"You can't! Your whole family can't!"
"Well, my whole family can't."
The captain glanced in the direction of the three men, raised an eyebrow in disdain and said, "Are these your team members? They look like a bunch of second-rate bastards."
Tang Zeyu said without hesitation: "Really? But it seems that the healer in your team is no longer able to work."
Lina was soaked in sweat, and she held Bayard's hands tightly with both hands. Light slipped out from the gap, and when she let go due to exhaustion, the light disappeared together with the hands, and a pair of intact hands appeared in front of her.
After receiving treatment, Bayard slowly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, what caught his eye was Lina's gritted teeth expression.
"F**k, you owe me a big debt now."
