The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1141: 1141: The Mountain Collapses
Capítulo 1141: Chapter 1141: The Mountain Collapses
Silver light shot onto the cliff at the summit, and the powerful explosive force caused the cliff to begin to loosen, the violent explosion ringing above everyone’s heads.
Boom, boom.
The cliff was already steep, and Ji Qian’s Starfall struck heavily, damaging its original load-bearing structure. Several large rocks had already rolled down, and not only that, the snow above had also come crashing down. A small snowball can grow larger when rolling, so under such powerful bombardment, the snow fell directly, crashing in front of Ji Qian and everyone.
Bam, bam, bam.
Bullets flew horizontally, and Ji Qian hid behind the snow pile, immediately disappearing without a trace. The Demoness immediately led the Soul Destroyer to sneak away from the back, retreating while covering fire. As snow fell and hit the ground, the drifting white snow in the air unexpectedly became a natural smoke bomb. Ji Qian took out her pistol, took advantage of the unprepared, and aimed at the gunmen, repeatedly pulling the trigger.
“Kill that woman for me.” The woman in black shouted loudly towards Ji Qian’s position, firing her gun, as the white snow fluttered, causing everyone to lose sight. It was already a sure thing, but they were still given a chance to linger. As the woman in black’s orders fell, dozens quickly encircled from both sides. Ji Qian’s face was solemn; although the opposition couldn’t find her now, this was a valley, and there was no possibility of going out on either side, only retreating backward. Ji Qian looked up at the cliff, which had dropped many stones after a Starfall hit. If she strikes again, perhaps she could completely collapse the cliff. There are plenty of large stones above. Once they fall, they should be able to completely block the valley and the thick snow will impede the gunmen’s chase.
“Moon God Spell—Starfall.” Ji Qian waved her Magic Wand, once again unleashing the Main God Skill. Silver light fell fiercely on the cliff.
Boom.
A loud noise, and the cliff shivered slightly. Everyone raised their heads, a stone tens of meters long slowly separating from the wall. Everyone reacted quickly, turning around in panic and running to the back.
“Don’t retreat, charge forward and kill them for me.” The woman in black cursed, even using her pistol to kill a few gunmen, but it was of no use. Actually, it made sense, a giant stone over ten meters long was larger than a few large trucks combined. Such a fall would crush them into pulp. They were an employment organization; they wanted money, but they also wanted to survive. In such life-and-death moments, only a fool would stand up to die. Ji Qian and Selena hid by the stone, the giant stone fell and formed a triangle space, leaving them unharmed.
“Selena, let’s take advantage of the chaos and quickly leave here.” Ji Qian coughed lightly a few times, the dust scattered away, seizing this opportunity the two climbed out of the pile of stones and slid away from one side.
Outside the valley.
After the fuss in the valley, darkness had already come, Ji Qian and Selena lost contact with everyone and didn’t dare to stop, rushing out seven or eight kilometers, confirming there was no chase before stopping.
“Lord Moon God, what should we do now? We lost contact, and it’s night now. We can’t find anyone.” Selena gasped, taking advantage of the pause to recover her stamina.
“Now, it’s impossible for us to find them, and we are close to the exit of Bai Mountain. Let’s leave during the night.” Ji Qian looked at her watch. It was eight o’clock in the evening. If all goes well, they could be out by dawn.
“But, if they are not assured of the Lord and are searching for us, what do we do?” Selena looked puzzled.
“Don’t worry, they won’t do that.” Ji Qian shook her head, “Soul Destroyer is now poisoned. The Demoness will surely choose to take him out of Bai Mountain first.”
“I see, then let’s hurry and go.” Selena nodded. Ji Qian sorted through her equipment, loaded bullets, hurriedly ate a piece of compressed biscuit, drank some water, and the two got up ready to leave.
Swoosh swoosh.
“Wait, there’s movement.” Ji Qian suddenly stopped Selena, quickly crouched down, there was no wind here, how could the bushes move?
Taking out the thermal imaging night vision device, the two were surprised to find that there were five or six people in the bushes not far away.
“Lord, what should we do?” Selena whispered, afraid of being heard, yet unclear of the other’s identity. If they startled the snake, it would be disastrous.
“Don’t worry, watch me.” Ji Qian put her hands on her mouth.
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
Ji Qian imitated a cuckoo bird’s call, and it had to be said, the imitation was vivid, almost indistinguishable from real birdsong, but… what was the intention?
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
A few seconds later, several cuckoo calls also sounded from the other side, Ji Qian’s face instantly relaxed.
“Demoness, is it you?” Ji Qian whispered, her voice not loud, just enough for those five or six meters away to hear.
“Lord Moon God, is it you?” Sure enough, Demoness’s voice came from the other side. Selena originally wanted to stop Ji Qian, but upon hearing the Demoness’s voice, she too relaxed significantly. Amazingly, after running seven or eight kilometers, they just happened to meet them, seemingly a stroke of fate.
“Great, you are okay.” Demoness and Ji Qian embraced, a faint smile appeared on Soul Destroyer’s distressed face.
“Enough, no time for sentimentality, let’s quickly change our route and get out of the mountain.” Ji Qian checked her watch. Leaving under the cover of darkness shouldn’t be a big problem as long as… they don’t encounter the woman in black.
Ji Qian indeed could not understand who wanted repeatedly to put her to death. There were plenty of enemies in Yanjing, but this situation was clearly targeted at Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple. A candidate appeared in her mind, but… she wasn’t sure.
“I don’t know whether Zhang Lin and Short-nosed Crocodile have made it out.” Ji Qian murmured.
“They probably haven’t, otherwise the woman in black would have the Bai Mountain Snow Lotus in hand.” Selena comforted, the Bai Mountain Snow Lotus was the purpose of their trip, its significance was extraordinary. However, given their current situation, even if the lotus was destroyed, they must immediately leave Bai Mountain. Not to mention, there have been casualties among the team along the way. Counting Ji Qian, Selena, Soul Destroyer, and Demoness, there were only nine people, which was significantly fewer compared to the woman in black.
“Short-nosed Crocodile left red fabric strips as markers on the road, we can search back and find the way out of the mountain.” Selena said.
“No, wait.” Suddenly, Ji Qian stopped everyone, her face dark, her tone solemn. “There are no creatures near Bai Mountain, red strips are obviously man-made. If the attackers find these strips, they’ll instantly understand that they were left by us. This way, they can just wait in ambush.”
