Chapter 20 Wilderness Battle 1
Deep in the wilderness, about thirty kilometers from Jiangcheng
Zhao Tieshan and Ye Feng's team are resting.
Dusk was beginning to fall, and the clouds on the horizon were burned a dark red by the setting sun.
The pickup truck was parked on a relatively flat open space, its bed filled with spoils.
Five people were eating roasted meat around a campfire.
Ye Feng felt a little uneasy, but mostly excited.
His trip to the wilderness was to avoid trouble.
The Li family will not let him off the hook if he turns Li Mo into a eunuch.
"I know Li Wanshan. You made his son a eunuch, and he hates you to death."
"But the Li family probably won't take action themselves. After all, you're a descendant of a martyr, and the Li family wouldn't be foolish enough to directly challenge the authority of the Night's Watch and the military."
Zhao Tieshan took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
"But he'll probably pay a bounty hunter to do it."
Ye Feng's fingers tightened, a sign of his excitement for the upcoming battle.
"Therefore, the journey back to the city will not be peaceful."
"Yes." Zhao Tieshan exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze sharp.
"So I've decided to take a different route. I won't take the main road; I'll detour and enter the city through the small gate on the west side. Once you're inside the city, you'll be safe."
"Can we go around that?"
"It's highly likely," Zhao Tieshan said.
"Pack your things, get ready to leave." Zhao Tieshan patted Ye Feng on the shoulder. "We must be back in the city before dark."
Spending the night in the wilderness is extremely dangerous.
Their vehicle was full of exotic beast meat, inner cores, and fur.
The smell of blood will attract a large number of strange beasts.
The group quickly sprang into action.
Zhao Tieshan got into the driver's seat and started the engine.
The pickup truck headed towards Jiangcheng.
Ye Feng sat in the passenger seat, his hand resting on the hilt of the God-Slaying Blade.
The mental perception unfolded silently, covering a radius of three hundred meters.
The other three sat obediently in the back row.
This also shows that the team recognizes Ye Feng's strength.
The wilderness appeared exceptionally quiet in the twilight.
The weeds swayed in the wind.
Everything seems normal.
But Ye Feng's intuition told him that something was very wrong.
It's too quiet.
The wilderness has never been so quiet.
"Captain Zhao," Ye Feng said in a low voice, "something's not right. It's too quiet."
Zhao Tieshan frowned. He had spent twenty years in the wilderness, so he knew exactly what this silence meant.
"There's an ambush." His voice turned serious. "They're coming for us."
"Can we go around that?"
Zhao Tieshan glanced at it and shook his head. "It's too late! If we choose to take a detour now, we won't be able to reach Jiangcheng before dark."
"It's too dangerous for us to spend the night in the wild with so much animal meat and pelts!"
"There's a ravine not far ahead. It would be the perfect place to ambush someone."
"Captain Zhao, let me do it." Ye Feng's voice was calm.
"You're all alone"
"Captain Zhao," Ye Feng interrupted him.
"These people are coming for me, so I should deal with them myself."
"Besides, I'm a small target when I'm alone. With my speed and agility, it'll be no problem!"
"Furthermore, I sense that there aren't any strong individuals among this group! The highest is only at the peak of the second tier!"
Zhao Tieshan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
He recalled the scene of Ye Feng's battle today.
In one minute, Ye Feng instantly killed more than thirty wind wolves and a third-tier wind wolf king.
With just five strikes, Ye Feng killed Sun Hu, who was at the mid-stage of the third tier.
Facing a fourth-tier Bloodthirsty War Wolf, Ye Feng relied on his movement skills and purple attributes to launch a counterattack and successfully kill it!
Be careful in everything.
Zhao Tieshan remained silent for a few seconds, but finally nodded.
"Alright. But we won't abandon you. If there's a strong enemy, come to us."
"Thank you." Ye Feng was also a little touched.
The pickup truck stopped on the spot, and Ye Feng got out and continued on his way.
Ye Feng unleashed his movement techniques and activated his full mental perception.
Within a 300-meter radius, every detail was clearly presented in his mind.
There were more than a dozen people hiding in the weeds in a mountain hollow.
Some of them lay prone in the grass, while others squatted behind dead trees.
Everyone was carrying all sorts of weapons, and some were even carrying pre-apocalyptic firearms.
They breathed very lightly, as if afraid of being discovered.
But Ye Feng was a psychic, and he discovered them long ago.
There were quite a dozen people, but the highest level of cultivation was only at the peak of the second tier.
A dozen or so people, it's just a matter of a dozen or so cuts.
It wouldn't be difficult to just launch a direct attack and kill them, but Ye Feng was afraid that if he took the initiative, he wouldn't be able to gain kill points.
It's better to stir things up and wait for them to launch the first attack, then we can defend ourselves and fight back.
You can't just not give yourself any kill points, can you?
Ye Feng moved nimbly, placing his hand on the hilt of the God-Slaying Blade.
His footsteps clattered on the gravel.
"Come out." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried far on the night breeze.
"Hidden for so long, aren't you tired?"
There was a deathly silence in the grass.
No one spoke up, and no one came out.
Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly.
"Seven in the grass on the left, four behind the dead tree on the right, and three behind the pile of rubble."
"There are fourteen people in total! Should I call them out one by one?"
silence.
Then, a rustling sound came from the grass.
A bald, burly man stood up from the weeds.
He was extremely muscular, standing 1.9 meters tall, and carried a huge battle axe in his hand, the blade gleaming coldly in the night.
Wolf Slaughter.
The captain of the Wolf Fang Squad, the strongest wilderness hunter team in Jiangcheng, a martial artist at the early stage of the fourth tier.
He looked Ye Feng up and down, his gaze as if he were examining a piece of merchandise awaiting valuation.
"You're Ye Feng?"
"It's me." Ye Feng was also taken aback. Could it be that his mental power had made a mistake?
Little did he know that this seemingly burly wolf butcher had indeed awakened the blue skill "Breath Concealment," which could block mental detection skills.
Among these dozen or so people, there was actually a fourth-level expert.
"Early stage of Tier 2?" Wolf Butcher frowned. "That's it? Fifty million? And you're still so arrogant, you didn't even know to run away when you saw me?"
He shook his head, grinned, and revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Kid, do you know how much you're worth right now? Fifty million."
"This amount is enough to buy ten apartments in the western part of Jiangcheng, enough for an ordinary person to live on for ten lifetimes. Do you know how many people outside want you dead?"
He waved his hand behind him.
One figure after another appeared.
There were fourteen people in total, each a seasoned veteran of the wilderness, each with blood on their hands.
"Fourteen men, fourteen knives, all for taking your life." Wolf Butcher, carrying his battle axe, spoke mockingly, "So, are you scared?"
Ye Feng did not answer, but instead pondered his next step.
He slowly drew the God-Slaying Blade.
Looking at the enemy in front of him
Fourteen people: one fourth-tier martial artist, three third-tier martial artists, and the rest are second-tier martial artists.
With himself at the peak of the second tier and the aid of mental power for reconnaissance and attack, this battle is not unwinnable.
Wolf Butcher's smile froze. He had considered that Ye Feng would run away, or that Ye Feng would kneel down and beg for mercy, but he never expected that Ye Feng would take the initiative to draw his sword and challenge him to a fight.
"Third-tier alloy battle blade." His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze turned sinister again.
"The knife is nice, but it needs to be given a better owner from now on."
He raised his battle axe and waved to the people behind him.
"Go! Finish this quickly. Whoever gets the head gets the fifty million, but I want that knife."
Fourteen people moved at the same time.
They rushed towards Ye Feng from all directions, cooperating seamlessly.
