Capítulo 1117: Chapter 1117: Mercenary Identity
On the slopes on both sides behind the crowd, shadows of dozens of people started to emerge vaguely, heads crowded together. Soul Destroyer reacted extremely quickly, picked up the rifle, and fired a burst into the crowd, while the remaining Hidden Guards also hid behind cover, returning fire at the attackers on the slopes.
Bang, bang, bang.
The gun battle was on the verge of breaking out, starting with a white-hot gunfight. The firearms on both sides were not equipped with silencers, causing the gunshots to be loud, echoing between the valleys, sounding chilling to the bone.
“Demoness, protect Zhang Lin.” Amidst the gunfire, Soul Destroyer shouted loudly. Zhang Lin had no combat abilities and couldn’t use firearms. Most importantly, she was the “map” for everyone. Without her, not only would finding the snow lotus be impossible, but they might also get lost in Bai Mountain.
“Okay.” Demoness grabbed Zhang Lin’s hand, and the two of them hid behind a nearby bulletproof SUV as a cover. Bullets occasionally hit the car, and Demoness was afraid that Zhang Lin might be hit by stray bullets, so she even hugged her tightly.
“Lord Moon God, something seems to have happened across the river; someone is attacking us.” The gunfire also startled the people on the other side of the river. Unexpectedly, someone was attacking them with firearms. From their position, it was clear that these people controlled the high ground on the slopes, indicating they had been ambushing there for a while. Perhaps they were waiting for Ji Qian to lead people across the river and then attack when the team dispersed. If they had brought enough assault boats this time, the attackers would surely launch an attack while they were crossing the river. The bullets would puncture the assault boats, leaving them to fall into the freezing cold river water, and they would surely die.
The river crossing was not completed, and if they were really like this, they would be in trouble.
Fortunately, they only brought two assault boats this time, avoiding the fate of being “wiped out.”
“Let’s go over and support them.” Ji Qian immediately ordered. Across the river, they could only watch the gunfight ahead helplessly.
“Sir, the assault boats can’t withstand bullets, I’m afraid we won’t be able to cross.” A Moon Guard said. Indeed, with the other side having a firepower blockade, if the assault boats were damaged halfway, not only they couldn’t reach the destination, but they would also have to end up in the water.
Ji Qian looked at the gunfight on the opposite side, then at the only two remaining assault boats. If the assault boats were damaged, even if they managed to cross the river for support, they would still have to swim across the river in the end.
“I have a solution now.” Ji Qian thought quickly, taking out the gem magic wand and the water element, placing the water element on the magic wand’s gem, emitting a faint blue light in the night.
“Moon God Spell—Falling Star.” Ji Qian waved the wand, shooting several silver beams from the gem, streaking across the night sky like meteors, falling into the river in front of the people. As the silver light entered the river, the water instantly froze, creating an “ice road” on the surface.
“Let’s hurry over.” Ji Qian said loudly. The ice layer was over ten centimeters thick, enough to support a person’s weight. The water element possessed extreme cold power, capable of freezing any object into ice, increasing in strength as the user’s inner strength grew.
Bang, bang, bang.
“Sir, we are being suppressed by fire.” On the opposite side, both sides were constantly exchanging fire, suffering losses. The slope was over ten meters high. Those from Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple were fighting from low to high, which was not a good position. Moreover, there was no cover around them, forcing them to rely on vehicles, with a large river behind them, fighting with their backs against the wall, with nowhere to retreat. The position was extremely dangerous.
“Throw smoke grenades, Hidden Guard maneuver from the left, Moon Guard maneuver from the right, encircle them.” Soul Destroyer replaced a new magazine, shouting loudly. Several Hidden Guards took out a few smoke grenades from their tactical gear bags and threw them towards the slope. In no time, the smoke began to spread slowly, blocking everyone’s vision, and the gunfire stopped.
“Everyone, put on thermal imaging goggles and charge with me.” Soul Destroyer ordered, wearing thermal imaging goggles, and charged out first. The enemies’ bodies all appeared on the thermal imaging goggles.
“Two people at one o’clock.” Soul Destroyer’s marksmanship was exceedingly fast. With an agile jump, he effortlessly hid behind a tree as cover, quickly peeking out, aiming the rifle at the “red areas” on the thermal imaging goggles, and shot down two attackers.
The smoke formed by the smoke lasted a long time, and its density was high. On the slope, only occasional gunshots were heard. Ji Qian led people from the other side of the river, running over and first finding Zhang Lin.
“Zhang Lin, are you okay?” Ji Qian quickly asked, seeing Zhang Lin being protected in Demoness’s arms, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Without Zhang Lin, even if they entered Bai Mountain, it would be useless.
“I’m fine.” Zhang Lin calmed her mood a bit.
“No problem, Soul Destroyer has already started counterattacking, and we are safe here.” Ji Qian said lightly. Ten minutes later, the sporadic gunfire finally stopped completely. Soul Destroyer walked over from a distance with several Hidden Guards.
“Are you all okay?” Demoness asked with concern.
“No problem, but those people got away, it’s really annoying.” Soul Destroyer threw aside the rifle, sitting on the car hood, panting heavily.
“It’s okay, we encountered an attack this time, fortunately nothing major happened.” Ji Qian sighed, though her expression started to show some worry. The deeper regions of Bai Mountain were seldom visited, so how could an armed group appear out of nowhere, attacking them without a word? Clearly, their target was the group from Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple. As for when they started following them, no one knew. Perhaps it was coincidental that they met here, or maybe they had been tracking them from the start.
“Have the bodies been examined? Who are they?” Ji Qian inquired. The attackers fled in a hurry and surely had no time to take their comrades’ bodies. They could obtain a lot of information from these bodies.
“To say it, you might not believe it,” Soul Destroyer dragged a corpse over with one hand, taking off the mask on the corpse’s face, causing everyone to gasp in shock.
“Why is it a foreigner?” Demoness couldn’t help but say; blonde hair, brown eyes, clearly not from Huaxia.
“Not only that, we examined thirteen bodies, and they were all foreigners.” Soul Destroyer sighed. “Perhaps the mastermind hired a foreign mercenary team to reduce traces.”
“Zhang Lin, could these also be minorities from Huaxia, just like you?” Ji Qian did not immediately agree with Soul Destroyer’s guess. Everything had multiple possibilities, just like Zhang Lin. Everyone’s first impression of her was as a foreigner, but in reality, she was indeed from Huaxia.
“Probably not. I haven’t heard of such a group or organization, and looking at their equipment, all imported, they should truly be from a foreign mercenary organization.”
