Xiaoyue had already hidden herself in the mountains. Riley and the Drunkard were actually too confident in themselves, so they didn't bother to conceal themselves during the search. That's how Xiaolong, who was hiding high up, accidentally saw them. If they were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have hesitated so much behind the crosshairs. It was precisely because of their identities that Xiaolong abandoned the idea of shooting them and instead told Li Jia what had happened.
The mountain range was covered with trees, with oak and beech trees almost standing side by side, and the crevices between the mountains were filled with beautiful, rugged rocks. When Riley was searching halfway up the mountain, he suddenly felt like he was being watched, so he immediately hid behind a huge, strange rock and stared up the mountain, hoping to find the source of the spying.
Actually, the moment Xiaolong saw Riley through the sniper scope, Riley's keen sixth sense immediately detected the anomaly. As Xiaolong expanded his vision to cover most of the hillside, the feeling of being spied on in Riley's mind vanished without a trace.
On the other hand, Safin, the drunkard, also noticed Xiaolong's gaze sweeping past him through the sniper scope. Then, with a thud, he lay down in the grass as if drunk, and his figure completely disappeared from Xiaolong's sight.
When Riley reappeared from behind the rock, his figure was no longer so conspicuous. Although his body was huge, he quickly advanced up the mountain under the cover of rocks, trees and grass. "Since I'm competing against a drunkard, I can't lose."
Thinking this, Riley became even more eager to eliminate his target as quickly as possible. When he reappeared behind Xiaolong's sniper scope, Riley didn't notice Xiaolong spying on him this time. The reason might be that Xiaolong had no intention of killing Riley.
"Here he comes, Instructor Riley. Li Jia, don't worry. Although he's my instructor, if he really threatens Miss, I won't hesitate to kill him." Xiao Longdi's low voice reached Li Jia's ears, revealing his deep respect for Riley. However, his sense of duty compelled him to make this decision.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt your Instructor Riley, hehe." Li Jia replied with a smile, looking out of the dense forest. Riley had already entered the dense forest. Xiao Long didn't respond for a long time after hearing Li Jia's words, probably because he was frightened by Li Jia's words.
"Students won't fight their teachers, so be careful. I can no longer see Instructor Riley from here; he's already gone into the woods." After a long while, Xiaolong finally heard this from his earpiece, and then continued to observe the movements at the foot of the mountain.
"Hehe, you're right. Students really can never beat teachers..." After Li Jia finished speaking, she temporarily turned off the communicator and then completely blended into the forest. Standing high in the trees, even her breathing disappeared completely. Only the occasional birdsong and the whistling wind blowing through the forest could be heard.
As soon as Riley entered the woods, he sensed that a hunter was lurking within. But as he took a few steps closer, the feeling vanished. The entire forest was so quiet and peaceful that he felt no danger whatsoever.
However, Riley's years of wilderness survival instincts kept him from relaxing at all. He took out his combat knife and moved slowly through the forest with complete concentration. After moving for less than five minutes, Riley made a new discovery!
Two meters ahead of him, there were barely noticeable climbing marks beneath a beech tree. Riley immediately tensed. At the same time, a bloodthirsty urge began to rise within him. Gripping his dagger, he continued his search into the woods, feigning ignorance.
After advancing another hundred meters, Riley focused his attention on the trees lining the area, gripping his combat knife even tighter. This hunting game was incredibly exciting, and for Riley, this was exactly what he wanted!
Fifty meters away, Riley suddenly sensed an eerily quiet atmosphere around him. Within a fifty-meter radius, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Just as he turned around to look at a tree behind him, a dark figure appeared in front of him, delivering a sharp knee strike without even making a sound.
"Crack! Thump!" Li Jia's knee strike landed squarely on Riley's chest. Riley's massive body immediately flew sideways to the side, snapping a beech tree as thick as a bowl behind him. Riley's body then crashed heavily onto the grassy area in the forest.
Upon landing, Riley sprang up instantly, his dagger flashing towards Li Feng's throat. However, Li Jia's smile seemed to distract him. "Why does that smile look so familiar?" In that moment of distraction, Li Jia's figure vanished from her spot and reappeared in front of Riley, delivering a knee strike with even greater force to his chest!
"Thump!" This attack was even more destructive. Riley flew straight back to the ground, a burning sensation in his chest making him feel a little tight. The young man opposite him still had a faint smile on his face. The slight curve of his lips and the slightly disdainful look in his eyes made Riley suddenly think of someone!
That person was the one he respected most in his life. Although it was only for a short three months, that person showed him what true killing was. That person had a resounding name at the time: "Ghost Bomb!" And this Ghost Bomb also had an even more chilling name: "Godman."
