After walking about a kilometer, Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped. He asked in confusion, "Why are there people here?"
His Stone Breath sensed a familiar presence; it was a human.
“Although Nancheng is a safe zone, it doesn’t include everyone in the vicinity! It’s normal for many remote villages and towns to be built in the mountains!” Leng Yue explained.
"They shouldn't be from the village or town; they're a group of adventurers!" Jiang Yuan said. Adventurers are evolved individuals who roam various places, shuttling between different safe zones. They are a group of people who would give up their lives for power.
"You can see that far?" Leng Yue was a little skeptical, because she hadn't seen anything, while Jiang Yuan was able to determine her identity so easily.
"Envious, aren't you!" Jiang Yuan said vaguely without explaining.
"You'd be perfect as an observer!" Leng Yue's tone suddenly turned somewhat sad. She had an observer before, but unfortunately, that guy died protecting her.
"To be your observer?" Jiang Yuan asked casually, but his attention was focused on the people that Shi Zhixi had sensed, a strange sense of familiarity lingering in his mind.
Leng Yue smiled faintly. She also hoped that Jiang Yuan would cooperate with her. She knew that in Jiang Yuan's eyes, she was probably just a rotten person, a rotten person who had lost not only her freedom but also her virginity.
“Okay! I’ll take it!” Jiang Yuan suddenly agreed.
"Huh?" Leng Yue exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh? You don't think my skills are bad, do you?" Jiang Yuan joked.
He finally remembered who those adventurers were: the hunting team he had encountered before, that bloodthirsty, cannibalistic organization.
"Are you sincere?"
"How about we work on our teamwork and improve our coordination?" Jiang Yuan gestured in a direction.
"You want to use me to kill someone?" Leng Yue immediately understood Jiang Yuan's intention.
"Don't put it so harshly!" Jiang Yuan immediately corrected, "We're doing this to rid the world of evil! I know which organization those people belong to!"
"Killing him would only bring good, not bad!"
"How far away are those people from us?" Leng Yue found it unbelievable. Her eyesight was also excellent, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be a sniper. However, even with her eyesight, she couldn't see people, let alone Jiang Yuan be able to see them and identify their identities.
"Ten miles!" Jiang Yuan overlapped two fingers. "Want to do it? Kill one person and I'll give you a Holy Spirit Stone of the same rank. If you think it's okay, we'll do it!"
"Are you sure they're bad people?" Leng Yue hesitated. She had killed many people, but she would never kill indiscriminately.
"Don't worry, they're all a bunch of freaks who live on the edge! If you don't believe me, we can get closer and observe them further!" Jiang Yuan was certain that Leng Yue would agree. This woman just wouldn't kill civilians, but if they were her opponents, she would shoot them without hesitation, no matter if they were good or bad.
Just like when she hid in the Heaven and Earth Society, Leng Yue wanted to kill Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan without asking whether they were good or bad.
"Okay!" Leng Yue agreed without much thought. She took a pair of binoculars from the gun case. "Do you want this?"
"Uh, actually I can see farther than your telescope!" Jiang Yuan didn't take it. Once his Heavenly Eye was activated, it was like a Want Want brand telescope, and seeing three times the distance was no problem!
"After being modified by that chip, my gun has an effective range of five kilometers, but to kill evolved beings of level three or above, the safest distance is to keep it within one kilometer." Leng Yue put away her binoculars again.
“Then let’s keep getting closer!” Jiang Yuan nodded.
Stone Breath detected a total of seven hunters. The intense bloodlust emanating from them even disgusted Stone Breath. It was because of this that Jiang Yuan felt no psychological pressure to shoot them. These people were thugs, and there was no need for mercy.
The range of Stone Breath is ten miles, which is not a long distance in the eyes of the two at their current level. They will be close to the hunting team after crossing a few small hills.
"I saw it!"
Before Jiang Yuan could even give directions, Leng Yue had already found a firing position and started setting up her gun.
"You're not bad either!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed.
This isn't just polite talk; it's the truth. Finding someone a kilometer away in a forest full of various vegetation without any aids is no easy task, at least not for Leng Yue.
“If the Earth hadn’t undergone a catastrophe, I could kill a hundred of you!” Leng Yue turned her head to examine Jiang Yuan.
"Little girl, stop shouting about fighting and killing all the time! No one will marry you in the future!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"I have no intention of getting married!" Leng Yue said bluntly. As she spoke, she opened the scope and began to adjust the performance of the gun. The more sophisticated the gun, the higher the requirements for the user, especially for a gun used to snipe evolved humans.
Jiang Yuan shrugged, looked at Leng Yue who was busy on the ground and laughed, "Brother, why don't you just give me the binoculars!"
"Hmm?" Leng Yue looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion.
"You're really putting a lot of effort into this, and as an observer, I'd really look like a nobody if I didn't have a telescope!" Jiang Yuan explained.
Actually, he just wanted to have some fun. Firearms are something men love. Even if he wasn't good at them, he could still enjoy the thrill.
"Here you go!" Leng Yue wanted to laugh but held it in and silently handed over the binoculars.
Jiang Yuan picked up the binoculars, took a look, and exclaimed, "Then I'm now the 'Woof Woof Woof' binoculars!"
The view through the telescope wasn't much clearer than what he could see with his naked eye, but it did slightly increase the distance, and six hunters came into his line of sight.
"I see them, they're approaching us!" Jiang Yuan glanced at an abandoned mine in the area between them and the hunters, thinking, "They're probably after the Divine Blood Stone too!"
