Chapter 35: The advantage is mine, how can I lose?
No one paid any attention to Tian Laoqi. He frantically turned his head and shouted, "Brother Hou, I did everything you and the professor told me to do! What's going on? Help me! I've always been loyal!"
"Poisonous-Eyed Monkey Nine" narrowed his rat-like eyes. "Don't shout, Seventh Brother. Now is the time for you to continue to serve the Imperial Army. This is your honor."
Tian Laoqi wanted to say something, but his mouth was stuffed with a stinking rag, his hands and feet were tied behind his back, and he was forced to kneel on the grass beside the altar.
He stared at the strangely shaped, half-meter-tall red wooden statue on the altar, and a chill ran down his spine.
A flood of strange stories I'd heard before rushed to my mind, mixed with endless grievances.
He had voluntarily defected to the Imperial Army and the academic travel group, eager to become a loyal dog of the Eastern Empire!
How could this happen?
They clearly agreed on everything, and even Third Brother confessed!
Even Third Brother wasn't dragged here, so why are they treating me like this?
Could it be that the professor didn't recognize me?
Professor, look at me!
How could you go back on your word...?
The veins on Tian Laoqi's neck and forehead bulged, and he made muffled noises, but received no response from anyone.
Later, tears streamed down his face as if a dam had burst.
Seeing his unlucky look, "Poisonous-Eyed Monkey Nine" couldn't help but shake his head.
This child is still too naive!
I don't know how such a cunning guy like Tian Laosan raised such a useless younger brother.
Now look what's happened, the whole family has fallen into his trap.
The professor kept Tian Laosan and his two old partners because they were still useful.
Tian Laoqi, a newbie among the tomb raiders, is of no value whatsoever; all he can contribute is his essence and soul.
Yoshino Masakazu then walked around the area again with satisfaction.
Many people have died near this cold pool, so the yin energy is extremely heavy. Combined with the abundant water vapor and favorable weather, this makes the psychedelic field of the Yin-Yang Fan even more powerful.
Seventeen or eighteen meters away, on a slope at an angle of more than thirty degrees, are small paths worn by villagers or those going into the mountains.
Some trees and bushes blocked the view of the cold pool from the path.
About a hundred meters away across the path is a hilltop twenty or thirty meters high with a wide view. The light machine gun is positioned there, and the machine gunner and assistant gunner are both late-stage Silver-level Onmyoji wearing amulets.
The machine gun muzzle is pointed at an angle of about 60 degrees to the cold pool, so it won't accidentally hit the people lying in ambush here.
Akio Itano led more than 30 special forces team members to lie in ambush in the bushes between the hill where the machine gun was located and the path, about 50 meters away from the path.
Ten special forces team members armed with submachine guns and all the soldiers from the travel and academic teams were deployed on the cold pool side.
When the time came, the machine guns opened fire first, and the ten submachine guns on this side immediately followed suit with a barrage of fire.
Yoshino Masakazu believed that apart from a few mid-to-late Silver level personnel and that True Qi beginner peak expert, no one else could withstand this attack.
Immediately afterwards, the surviving enemy will face an attack from a combination of illusionary domains, demonic spirits, swordsmen, sniper rifles, and hidden weapons.
Thinking of this, Yoshino Masakazu smiled smugly.
He couldn't understand how Zhang Fubao and his group could survive such a fierce attack.
"The advantage is in my hands, how can I lose?"
"Hehe... True Qi Warriors and souls with naturally keen senses..."
"Looks like I'm about to have two more good gains."
"If we can obtain the relics of the Martial Saint Tenglong tomorrow, that would be double happiness."
......
More than two hours later, Zhang Fubao and Zhao Guanghua asked everyone to stop and rest for a while.
It's only about an hour's drive from here to Tianjia Village.
The two had previously discussed whether or not to turn back and return to the mountains.
But by the time Dong Guanfei pointed out the anomaly, they had already covered nearly half the distance.
Moreover, the team includes a True Qi Realm expert, four late-stage Transcendent Realm experts, ten early and mid-stage Transcendent Realm experts, and more than thirty gunmen.
By any measure, they are quite formidable.
Although the Yin ghost that was suspected to be a malevolent spirit was good at concealment, it was likely to be outmatched when dealing with a True Qi Realm martial artist, and was instead easily restrained by the fiery blood energy of the True Qi Realm martial artist.
In fact, the team's current strength far exceeds the military force Zhang Fubao used when he went to collect goods most of the time.
They can't be intimidated by Dong Guanfei's warning alone.
After all, Dong Guanfei wasn't one of their own, and no one knew what he was up to.
He might just want to make this protection mission easier.
Or perhaps he still harbors resentment over past entanglements and is deliberately trying to scare Zhang Fubao.
They had been moving forward for another two hours without incident, and they couldn't help but feel more relaxed.
Dong Guanfei followed them all the way for two reasons: firstly, because of the mission, and he didn't want anything to happen to the two respectable witches; secondly, because he had strong confidence that he could escape on his own.
In fact, the system's previous warnings did not say that his life was in danger; at most, he was just injured.
Zhao Huibao put down her water glass and, trying to make conversation, asked, "'Heartless,' didn't you notice anything amiss after that, did you?"
Dong Guanfei glanced at her. "What, you don't believe me?"
Zhao Huibao paused for a moment.
That bastard!
Would it kill you to speak properly?
So many people have begged to speak to me, but I've ignored them all.
snort!
She shrank back somewhat awkwardly.
Huh?
Why am I showing weakness like this? This isn't right!
After realizing what she had said, she immediately straightened her back and said, "It's not a matter of belief, but that everyone makes mistakes."
"Let's make a bet. If there are enemies on the mountain, I'll give you a silver coin. If not, you grant me a small, harmless request. How about it?"
next moment.
A line of pale golden light slowly appeared.
[The Witch Has Been Discovered]
[Little Witch Zhao Huibao: This guy is so annoying, always acting so arrogant. If I win, I'm going to make him bark like a dog, really loudly, hehe...]
[Option 1: You have no interest in coaxing the girl and reject her. (Reward: 3 general points; you will be secretly cursed as a "blockhead," "annoying person," "megalomaniac," etc.)]
[Option Two: You are confident in yourself, so you agree to be with her. (Reward: 5 Universal Points. The little witch will pester you, trying to turn the tables.)]
[Option 3: If you know you will win, increase your bet by more than double. (Reward: 6 Universal Points, Witch's Trick.)]
At this moment, Dong Guanfei almost wanted to shout "Long live!"
Very good!
The witch can indeed reignite the quest.
and many more!
Why are there no talents or items in the rewards?
Where is my "Poison Resistance" talent?
"How about it? Do you dare?"
Seeing that he seemed to be lost in thought again, Zhao Huibao waved her hand in front of his eyes.
Dong Guanfei smiled faintly, "One silver coin is too little. Let's go big, two silver coins for two small requests, how about that?"
Zhao Huibao was taken aback.
This jerk is so confident?
not good!
"I'm out of money. I only have one silver coin. I'm not playing anymore."
After saying that, she took long strides and turned to go to Zhang Wanxin's side.
"..."
Dong Guanfei was speechless and could only look at the six new universal points that had just been added to the panel with tears in his eyes.
"Fine, as long as I can increase my general points, I'll accept it even if there aren't any new talents or items for the time being."
Zhao Huibao caught a glimpse of his dejected expression out of the corner of her eye, and a feeling of inexplicable relief welled up inside her.
Luckily, I was quick-witted, hehe...
About ten minutes later, the group set off again, striding forward along the path.
More than half an hour later, the group arrived at a place with a wide view.
Zhang Fubao pointed happily to the village in the distance, "That's Tianjia Village, it's at most half an hour away."
Dong Guanfei suddenly had a feeling that disaster was about to strike, and his heart inexplicably panicked.
