Chapter 15 "Fishing" - Sun Hu and 3 others
"Captain Zhao," Ye Feng said in a low voice, "the fish has taken the bait."
Zhao Tieshan understood and immediately shouted, "I'm injured! Old Ma is wounded too! Let's retreat!"
Old Ma understood immediately, and pretended to be in pain by squatting on the ground while clutching his arm.
Hong Gu also slowed down her movements, pretending to be exhausted.
Ah Kun was the most dedicated; he simply lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.
The five people were panting heavily and looked extremely disheveled.
In the shadows, Sun Hu and his two companions were.
"Brother Tiger! It seems they're on their last legs. Should we strike while they're down and finish them off?" a skinny man with a pointed face whispered.
He is Ma Hou, a mid-stage second-tier assassin-type martial artist.
"Zhao Tieshan can't lift his arm, and the others aren't doing well either!"
"How about we keep Hong Gu for Big Brother to have some fun with later?"
The other short, stout man was named Lai San, a peak second-tier archer.
He stared lecherously at Hong Gu's impressive bust and said greedily.
"Tiger, let's get started! After you're done, you can let the brothers have some too!"
Sun Hu did not answer immediately.
Despite his tall stature and fierce face, he is a meticulous person.
But the spoils on the ground and the snow-white skin of the red-haired girl deeply attracted him.
That Earth Bear is a late-stage Tier 3 beast.
The inner core, fur, claws, and blood of third-tier exotic beasts are all valuable materials for refining weapons.
The total value is at least two million Xia coins.
In addition, there was the equipment on Zhao Tieshan and his men.
If this succeeds, the profit will be at least five million.
Greed finally triumphed over reason.
"Move!" Sun Hu said in a deep voice, "Take care of Zhao Tieshan first. Try to take him out with one shot."
Lai San grinned and picked up a single-soldier rocket launcher.
Although this weapon is an old-world firearm, the rockets it fires have been modified and are extremely powerful.
It's not difficult to take down a third-tier martial artist with a single shot!
He aimed at Zhao Tieshan and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
The rocket was launched and headed straight for Boss Zhao.
But just as the rocket was launched...
Ye Feng made his move.
He manipulated a pebble to fly out.
It struck the warhead of the rocket precisely.
The pebbles were small, but they moved extremely fast.
It directly smashed the rocket in mid-air.
"boom!"
The rocket exploded in mid-air.
The expressions of Sun Hu and the other two changed simultaneously.
Sun Hu roared even more furiously.
"Ambush! Run!"
But he hadn't finished speaking.
The five men, who had been exhausted, quickly stood up and made tactical movements.
Zhao Tieshan moved his "injured" arm, and the joints made a cracking sound.
Old Ma, Hong Gu, and A Kun cut off the three's escape route.
Ye Feng stood at the very back, his fingers gently twirling, and several pebbles floated around him, slowly rotating.
Sun Hu's face turned ashen.
He glanced at Zhao Tieshan.
There's no injury whatsoever. There's no sign of exhaustion.
This is a fucking trap.
"Zhao Tieshan, you betrayed us! And how did you even find us?"
"Sun Hu, your tricks are good enough to only be used once," Zhao Laoda sneered.
Sun Hu gritted his teeth, "Charge out!"
He slapped the monkey on the back, pushing it toward Zhao Tieshan, and then turned and ran into the alley.
Caught off guard, Ma Hou stumbled towards Zhao Tieshan, cursing, "Brother Tiger, you betrayed your brother!"
But before he could finish his rant,
Zhao Tieshan's horse-slaying sword had already come down.
Ma Hou is a mid-tier second-level assassin, and speed is his strength.
He dodged the blow, but Old Ma's crossbow was already aimed at him.
"Bang!"
The crossbow bolt pierced the monkey's shoulder, pinning him to the wall behind him.
On the other side, Lai San wanted to escape with Sun Hu, but Hong Gu's crossbow bolt had already pierced his calf, and he screamed and fell to the ground.
And Sun Hu.
He had already run into the alley and was about to disappear around the corner.
But suddenly five Ye Fengs appeared in front of him.
Five identical people blocked his way in the middle of the alley.
"Get out of my way!" Sun Hu roared, slashing at the one closest to him with his sword.
The knife pierced through the afterimage.
Sun Hu's pupils suddenly contracted.
The moment Ye Feng's afterimage disappeared, he waved his hand.
A flash of light appeared, slashing directly at Sun Hu.
"Who are you?!" Sun Hu narrowly avoided Ye Feng's knife.
Ye Feng did not answer.
His true form shifted between four afterimages, while sword light slashed from all directions simultaneously.
Although Sun Hu was at the mid-stage of the third rank, he couldn't maneuver effectively in the narrow alley.
Ye Feng's speed was ridiculously fast, slashing at Sun Hu with each strike.
After three strikes, Sun Hu's weapon was knocked away.
After five cuts, his legs were severed.
Zhao Tieshan looked down at him.
"Sun Hu, what did I say when you stole my prey and injured my brother last time?"
Sun Hu looked up at Zhao Tieshan, his lips trembling: "Brother Zhao, spare my life, I'll give you anything."
"Then I'll take your life," Zhao Tieshan said.
The sword fell.
The battle is over.
Ye Feng sheathed his longsword and glanced at the system notification.
[Assisted in killing one mid-stage Tier 1 martial artist, gaining 300 kill points.]
[Assisted in killing one mid-stage Tier 1 martial artist, gaining 200 kill points.]
[Assisted in killing one peak Tier 1 martial artist, gaining 80 kill points.]
The combined earnings of the three people were less than those of a single Tier 3 beast.
But even a mosquito's leg is meat, and Ye Feng didn't mind.
"Clean up the battlefield," Zhao Tieshan said. "Take their equipment and valuables with you."
The group moved quickly. Old Ma looted all of Ma Hou and Lai San's weapons and ammunition.
Hong Gu took out several beast cores and some cash from Sun Hu's body.
"Captain Zhao, what should we do with the Earth Bear?" Old Ma asked.
"Skin them and extract the elixir, hurry up." Zhao Tieshan glanced at the sky. "We must leave here before dark."
Ah Kun and Hong Gu began to dispose of the Earth Bear's corpse. Ye Feng stood aside, his mental perception remaining on alert.
Although Sun Hu and his two companions had dealt with the situation, there were still other strange beasts in the ruins, and the smell of blood would attract uninvited guests.
Just then.
Something new has emerged in his perception.
About 500 meters to the east, something is moving rapidly. It's very fast, quite large, and it's injured, quite badly injured.
Ye Feng frowned.
That thing had a very strong aura, stronger than any other strange beast he had ever seen.
Fourth order.
Moreover, it's possible that it's not just a regular fourth-order rank, but a late-stage fourth-order rank.
His perception continued to deepen, capturing more details of the thing.
The beast was twice the size of the Earth Bear, with long and powerful limbs.
This is a bloodthirsty war wolf.
It's still a late-stage fourth-tier king-level beast.
It quickly headed towards Ye Feng and his group of five.
"Captain Zhao!" Ye Feng's voice suddenly changed.
"Something's coming! Late-stage fourth tier, it's a Bloodthirsty War Wolf."
It's very fast; it'll be here in fifteen seconds at most.
Everyone stopped moving at the same time.
Zhao Tieshan's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"Late-stage Tier 4?!"
He had lived for over forty years, spent twenty of those years in the wilderness, and the strongest beast he had ever seen was only at the mid-stage of the fourth tier.
Late-stage fourth tier—that's a force even the elite Night Watch squads have to treat with caution.
Their squad would be sent to their deaths if they encountered them!
"Retreat! Retreat now!" Zhao Tieshan roared. "Forget the stuff, run!"
But it was too late.
A long, drawn-out wolf howl echoed from the depths of the city.
The voice was deep and resonant, carrying a sense of oppression that penetrated to the bone.
Old Ma's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
Ah Kun's face was ashen.
A gray figure leaped out of the ruins and landed twenty meters in front of them.
A bloodthirsty wolf warrior?!
