Chapter 108 A well-manned elite team
As Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin drew closer to the valley ahead.
Large and small round stones began to appear around, and some stones had faint weathered patterns on them, but it was impossible to make out what they were.
The earthen cliffs on both sides grow higher and higher, with traces of wind erosion on their surfaces.
After walking several dozen meters along the main riverbed, Chen Wenjin paused, looked around, and said:
"It should be here."
Beside the dried-up main riverbed, there is a small tributary that should have been covered by weeds and gravel.
The weeds have clearly been trampled, and a path can be vaguely seen.
"Cheng Feng, shouldn't we be more cautious? This tributary is too narrow."
If that group blocks the way at the end, we'll become sitting ducks.
Chen Wenjin looked at the narrow tributary of the river valley and said with some concern.
Especially now that it's not far from dark, she feels there's absolutely no need to take the risk.
Once it gets dark, Cheng Feng can activate his Ghost Eye and go on a killing spree. No matter how many people are on the other side, none of them will survive.
After listening, Cheng Feng looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go ahead and check the situation myself."
This highlights the limitations of the times; if only we had a drone at that moment.
Although Chen Wenjin still had some concerns, she respected Cheng Feng's decision and therefore gave him some advice:
"Don't force things if they're impossible. The terrain here is unique; nighttime is when you're in control."
"Don't worry, I understand!"
After nodding in agreement, Cheng Feng put his backpack on the ground and walked into the narrow tributary with only a Fish Intestine Short Sword in his hand.
The earthen cliffs on both sides are less than two meters apart and are quite high. After walking a short distance, it becomes dark.
Moreover, the ground was covered with dry vegetation.
Soon Cheng Feng noticed an uphill slope ahead, and the road began to widen.
As Cheng Feng stepped onto the slope, his gaze sharpened; he heard faint footsteps approaching from above.
But it quickly quieted down.
Cheng Feng pretended not to know and continued walking upwards.
When he reached the highest point, two young men suddenly emerged from behind the shale formations on either side.
They each held a pistol and pointed it at Cheng Feng.
"Don't move, or the bullets won't have eyes."
One of them said coldly, without any expression.
Cheng Feng remained calm, slowly spreading his hands and saying, "Gentlemen, I am merely a lost traveler."
"If you need money, I have some here."
"Whether you're a traveler or not, coming here today is your bad luck."
As he spoke, the man was about to pull the trigger.
In that instant, Cheng Feng drew his short sword with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
The Fish Intestine Sword blade left a red line in mid-air thanks to Cheng Feng's incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it sliced across the man's wrist.
Before his hand and gun could fall, Cheng Feng flicked his wrist, and the blade lightly grazed the man's throat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cheng Feng delivered a side kick to the other person's neck with a loud thud.
The other person slammed hard against the rocky cliff next to him, his neck twisted to a ninety-degree angle when he hit the ground.
At this moment, the man whose throat had been slit collapsed to his knees, spitting blood, his eyes wide open.
It seemed she wanted to remember Cheng Feng's appearance before she died.
"If someone can get their hands on a standard-issue pistol in this day and age, they must be one of its people."
Cheng Feng ignored the terrifying gaze and calmly picked up the two men's pistols.
They also took four magazines full of bullets from the two men.
"Good stuff, a Type 54 pistol. These are hard to come by."
Picking up the equipment dropped by the monster, Cheng Feng kicked the obstacle blocking his way to the edge of the cliff.
Then I took another step and continued walking forward.
After walking about a hundred meters, the view ahead widened, and the rocks became more densely distributed.
A huge rock stands out prominently in the very center, like a crane among chickens.
Around the giant rock, you can see rows of black tents and busy crowds.
Cheng Feng hid behind a rock and observed for a while.
More than twenty people were found outside the tent alone, indicating that the team it mobilized this time was enormous.
Given the long distance, some people must have already gone down the tunnel dug by the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.
Those who stayed behind were probably only responsible for the rear.
"This is tough. These people are well-equipped and armed. They become more brazen the more remote the location."
Even at their peak, the Nine Gates of Changsha couldn't possibly field a team of dozens of people, each armed with a gun, to raid tombs.
Seeing that things were beyond his control, Cheng Feng could only choose to wait, because even if he took action...
It will definitely take a lot of time to deal with these people, so it's better to wait until dark and take them away in one go.
After making his decision, Cheng Feng turned and left.
As for whether the body of the lookout would be discovered, Cheng Feng no longer cared.
If they choose to break out of the narrow valley to deal with him, taking advantage of the terrain will actually make things much easier for Cheng Feng.
Back on the main riverbed, Chen Wenjin, who was hiding in the shadows, came out after seeing Cheng Feng.
"How's the situation inside?"
Cheng Feng replied helplessly, "There are at least twenty people left on the ground, and each of them is armed."
Chen Wenjin was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that a mere tomb raiding activity would encounter such a well-trained team.
"Let's wait until it gets dark, but aren't these people a bit too strong?"
Chen Wenjin frowned.
Cheng Feng shook his head without explaining. There was no need to talk about it; they just needed to wait until this group of people died.
The forces that followed it naturally declined.
There is absolutely no need to make enemies at this time, especially when those enemies are on the verge of death.
An hour later, the last rays of sunlight on the horizon were swallowed by darkness.
Thus, the lives of the people in the valley were put on a countdown.
Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin stood in the darkness, their dark eyes seemingly even darker than the night itself.
Clumps of densely packed Pure Vision Agamas fell from mid-air.
Red veins surged in the darkness, quickly covering the vast expanse of the dried-up riverbed.
Driven by Cheng Feng, the snakes surged toward the narrow tributary like water flowing on a riverbed.
It took a full ten minutes for the snakes to completely flood into the tributary.
"Let's go collect these bodies."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng took out a flashlight and handed it to Chen Wenjin.
The two then followed the snakes into a narrow tributary of the river valley, using flashlights as they went.
At this moment, on the opposite side of the valley, more than thirty people, under the command of a handsome young man wearing glasses, were vigilantly surrounding the entrance.
They discovered the two men who had been killed during their shift change.
Because the enemy's firepower and numbers were completely unknown, they dared not rush through this narrow path.
We can only stay here and wait for the people below to come out so we can figure out a solution together.
"Number 1, there's movement in the canyon!"
At that moment, someone near the entrance shouted.
The refined-looking man with glasses had a tense expression, and he shouted with a ferocious look:
"Attention everyone, fire immediately upon spotting the enemy."
