"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Lao Tie said, quickly composing himself.
Everyone understood that there was no point in saying anything at this point; the most important thing right now was how to deal with the mercenaries behind them.
Luo Chen nodded, glanced at Jiang Xian'er, and said, "At this time, the most crucial thing is still the three of you, understand?"
"From now on, Lao Tie and I will cover their retreat, or we'll lead them in another direction, how about that?"
Old Tie hummed in agreement and said in a low voice, "This is the best-case scenario, but you can rest assured about one thing: they won't speed up, or rather, they won't fire randomly until they're sure we're safe. After all, they're after you." He then gave Mu Shanhai a meaningful look.
The latter nodded and continued, "I understand that. They can only have a chance if they capture me, but I have a suggestion."
After Mu Shanhai finished speaking, he took Mu Shiyu's hand, sighed, and said to Luo Chen, "If there is no chance by then, I only have one hope: to take my daughter away and let her live."
“Father…” Mu Shiyu’s voice was low and choked with emotion.
"Nonsense, it's not that time yet. Stop talking nonsense, it's giving me a headache." Luo Chen frowned slightly. Wasn't this a serious blow to morale?
There's no end in sight, who knows what will happen? I've already said, I'm still here.
Anyone who dares to harm a hair on Mu Shiyu or Jiang Xian'er will pay the price.
"Let's hurry up. I don't have much ammo left. We need to conserve it. It's the middle of the night, so they can't easily chase us. Let's keep going." Luo Chen glanced behind him and sensed a movement.
"Hurry up, you guys go first. By the way, the collars around your necks are fine now, don't worry about them," Luo Chen said in a low voice.
The group then continued walking toward him, taking advantage of the black-clad figure's slow progress.
After all, even the slightest movement could reveal their location.
"Luckily they didn't have night vision goggles, otherwise it would have been a real problem," Luo Chen thought to himself as he walked.
If these people were wearing night vision goggles, the pursuit would be even faster.
The group traveled under the cover of night, with Lao Tie leading the way and Luo Chen bringing up the rear.
"Are you alright now?" Luo Chen suddenly asked.
"Who?" Jiang Xian'er stopped and turned to look.
Luo Chen shook his head. This girl really had to get involved in everything.
"Don't worry, there's no problem," Qi Tianlong replied softly, knowing that Luo Chen was asking him.
After all, having two grandmasters to deal with will be very convenient.
"Okay, take it." Luo Chen nodded, then took out a dagger from his body and handed it to Qi Tianlong.
This was taken from the man in black from before.
The main reason is that the cold weapons in the hands of a master are sometimes more effective than firearms.
"Thanks." Qi Tianlong glanced at Luo Chen, took the dagger, and replied.
"guest……"
Bang!
Just as Luo Chen was about to speak, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
"Quick, get down, get down!" Luo Chen shouted as he lunged at Jiang Xian'er, pinning her down and growling, "It's a sniper! There's a sniper! Damn, where did they come from?"
Luo Chen let out a low roar, completely unexpected that there was a sniper present.
Moreover, the other party was actually able to detect Luo Chen and the others' location even in the pitch-black night.
"Night vision goggles, or who? Could it be that someone is catching up with us?" Luo Chen's mind raced.
"Impossible, they couldn't be that fast, and none of them were carrying sniper rifles. How could another person suddenly appear? Were they hiding all along?"
The group lay motionless in the grass, waiting quietly.
"Xiao, what do we do now?" Jiang Xian'er was scared half to death, and with Luo Chen pressing her down on his body, she didn't dare to move. After a while, she slowly asked.
"The sniper is very strong. He has already located our position and is just crawling forward."
Luo Chen flipped over and got away from Jiang Xian'er, patted her bottom, and said, "Remember, don't get up, and keep your movements small."
Jiang Xian'er nodded solemnly, not daring to move at this moment.
On the other side, the sound of rustling grass could be heard.
Luo Chen knew that the group of mercenaries had caught up with them.
"Damn it." Luo Chen slammed his fist on the ground. This delay prevented him from widening the distance again.
"If we're any later, we'll be surrounded." Realizing this, Luo Chen picked up a stone from the ground.
He took a deep breath; this kind of gunfight lifestyle was truly inhuman.
There has never been such a thrill before, with a dozen guns chasing after you. It's like being snatched back from the jaws of death.
"Be careful, when I say run, you have to be quick, you have to be quick, got it?" Luo Chen roared, trying to make sure everyone could hear him.
"clear!"
The crowd responded in hushed tones.
"So be it, there's no other way now. Let's try anything." Luo Chen thought bitterly. He carefully bent over, then gripped the stone in his hand and threw it violently to the other side.
Whoosh!
The sound of a stone hitting the grass immediately rang out.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out!
Luo Chen estimated the location in his mind. The direction of the first shot had changed, which meant that the opponent had adjusted their position.
Having made some judgments, Luo Chen picked up a few more stones from the ground in the dark.
He said, facing forward, "When I throw a stone, you all run forward; it will distract him."
Luo Chen squinted and meditated for a while, then suddenly felt a pang of emotion. Wasn't this dream created by the system to bully people?
He then took a deep breath, grabbed the four or five stones in his hand, and threw them violently out of the bushes.
Splash! Splash!
"run!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen roared.
Immediately, the group started running forward.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, striking a tree right next to Luo Chen.
Instantly, the bullet blasted the tree apart, scattering small fragments.
"Holy crap, that was a quick reaction? If you'd gotten shot, even the King of Hell wouldn't have time to mark your name on the register." Luo Chen thought to himself, "Is this even human?"
They reacted so quickly, in an instant.
"Go quickly, don't look back."
Luo Chen roared and instantly lifted Jiang Xian'er up, running forward.
This girl is running way too slowly.
Bang!
Another shot, but it missed again.
Behind them, the one-eyed man also heard gunshots.
"It's a ghost."
The one-eyed man's face lit up with delight; his ability to deal with ghosts in the jungle was truly impressive.
Fortunately, this time he wasn't allowed to join the team; instead, he was kept in the background.
"He's probably out of bullets, head down." Luo Chen heard that the gunshots hadn't come again for a while, and knew that the other side was changing magazines.
The group then ran quickly down the slope.
