With the guidance of the locals, the journey became easier and we soon found the river beach suitable for hunting.
Sun Xuefeng also left them a kettle and a flashlight, and asked the three of them to rest and wait in the woods opposite the river beach.
Lian Xiaomin started the truck again and continued to drive about five miles northeast according to the map, looking for the "Fairy Cave" where the treasure was hidden at the foot of the mountain.
However, it became difficult for the truck to drive on this road. Just after driving one mile, ditches and bumps appeared and it was unable to move forward.
The three had no choice but to get off the car and continue walking.
After walking for a distance, it was beginning to get dark. Lu Guanjie was leading the way with a flashlight, while Sun Xuefeng followed behind.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise coming from the woods next to them, and the three of them became alert instantly.
What's going on? Is someone following them... Could it be someone from Fanjiatun? But they didn't notice anything along the way.
Lian Xiaomin released his mental power and checked the woods over there, and found that there were five people hiding behind a big tree.
The two leading men had actually aimed their pistols at Lawrence Lu who was walking in front!
She secretly cried out "Not good!" In a flash, she took a big step and ran towards the person three meters away. She leaped and threw Lawrence Lu to the ground, rolling to the side.
All I heard was two gunshots, "Bang, bang," and the bullets just passed by me. It was a close call.
Lawrence Lu quickly turned his back towards the woods over there and protected Lian Xiaomin in front of him.
At this time, Sun Xuefeng had raised the flashlight and shone the light over there, quickly locking onto the gunman's position. At the same time, he pulled out the pistol from his waist and fired three shots at the man behind the tree.
He was using a silenced pistol, so there was not much noise. One of the bullets hit one of the gunmen in the leg. The man fell to the ground with a thud and groaned in pain.
Others hid under the cover of the big trees.
"Who are they?" Lian Xiaomin jumped up and ran into the woods. She already knew the location of those people and she couldn't let them get away.
Lawrence Lu followed closely behind and also pulled out his gun. This was also a silenced pistol, which he had specially prepared for this trip to the mainland.
Lian Xiaomin didn't even need to draw his gun. He just took out a few stones from his pocket, raised both hands at the same time, and threw them all over that side.
There was no light in the woods, and it was pitch black everywhere. Others could not see clearly, but she looked carefully. She heard several noises in succession, and a total of four people fell down.
Lawrence Lu took a breath of cold air. Amin really had sharp eyes.
In fact, two of them hid their entire bodies behind the trees and did not stick their heads out.
But Lian Xiaomin was already within twenty meters of them at this time, and could throw stones from space, hitting them directly on the head, and every hit was accurate.
You definitely can't use this "space-striking stone technique" in broad daylight, otherwise you'll be exposed in front of your own people.
But it was pitch black here, who knew how the stone had hit him? It must have been her.
Sun Xuefeng was proud of his boss again in his heart. Look at how skilled he was at using hidden weapons. Before he could clearly observe the positions of the people, Xiaomin had already dealt with them all.
The three of them rushed over to check, and Sun Xuefeng and Lu Guanjie held down the two who were still breathing.
One of them was the man who had been shot in the leg. He looked to be about thirty years old, with a full beard. The pain from the injury made him grit his teeth and have a ferocious expression on his face.
The man's neck stiffened, and he wanted to keep silent. Sun Xuefeng pointed the gun at his head and said, "If you don't tell me, you will die. Who are you and how do you know our whereabouts?"
At this moment, before the bearded man could say anything, the other person who was being held by Lawrence Lu spoke first.
"Third brother, they have guns too! I've already told you, I don't want to die!"
The flashlight beam moved to the man's face. He was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with blood on his head. He was covering his face with one hand and grimacing, wondering what kind of hidden weapon was this?
Seeing the other party pointing the gun at his accomplice, his mentality collapsed all of a sudden.
"Okay, go ahead. If you dare to lie, you two brothers will stay here today!"
Sun Xuefeng kicked the bearded man and turned to interrogate the other one. He knew that Lu Guanjie didn't speak Mandarin well, so he started questioning himself.
"I, I said, my name is Man Laugeda, he is my third brother, Man Guozhu, we are following a man named Xie Donglai, looking for some treasure here..."
"Old bastard, shut up! You..." Lu Guanjie went up and punched Man Guozhu in the face.
Man Guozhu fell to the ground and finally dared not say a word.
"Keep going!"
"...We are all from the nearby Jiutaizi Village. Xie Donglai contacted us through my cousins Hou and Hou Ping and said that he needed manpower to take turns guarding here to prevent other people from coming to steal the treasure.
"He regularly gave us money to bribe us to work for him. However, Xie Donglai has been looking for the thing for several months and still can't determine its location. We only know that it is hidden somewhere in the Qipan Mountains."
"...He has three groups of people, including us, and each group is watched by his trusted aides. The leader of our group is the one holding the gun, named Fan Deliang."
He raised his hand and pointed at a person, who was already dead.
Lian Xiaomin and Lawrence Lu looked at each other. Why did this name look so familiar? They had just solved a case called Fan Degui. Could it be that this Fan Deliang was his relative?
Could it be a coincidence?
Lian Xiaomin thought, no, that guy from Fanjiatun dared to be so bold, there must be someone behind him. In this world, there are nothing but bandits, enemy spies and the like.
It's really unlucky. I didn't expect so many things to happen on the first day in Fengtian. It shows that treasure hunting is not that easy. There is another team thinking about it.
Man Lao Geda shivered and continued, "Fan Deliang said that a group of people appeared in the suburbs today, driving a truck. They looked like they were up to no good. Once they reached out their hands, they were all tough guys. They rescued the people captured in their village."
"In the evening, he came to meet us with a gun, saying that he wanted to capture you and interrogate you. I'm afraid it's related to the treasure. Let's see if you know any useful information..."
Lian Xiaomin asked: "What else do you know about Xie Donglai?"
The man kneeling on the ground suddenly stopped talking, with fear in his eyes, hesitating and mumbling in a low voice: "Well, it seems like it's the Japanese devils. I heard him speak Japanese to the leader of another team, a man named Zheng Lao Da..."
When he had almost finished asking questions, Lian Xiaomin winked at Sun Xuefeng, asking him to tie up the two men tightly with the ropes he brought and throw them deep into the woods.
She told Lawrence Lu, “It seems that they have quite a few people, at least two groups, maybe they don’t know the exact location, and they want to catch us to extract information.”
Lawrence Lu nodded: “Let’s go to the Immortal Cave a few miles away to see if the things are still there.”
