After learning the situation from Mo Jian, Mo Qinghao looked ahead and felt something was wrong. He asked, "How long is it now?"
"13 minutes."
Mo Jian looked at the time and his face turned slightly grim. It had been too long.
If the assassins escaped, they should return soon.
If they catch up, the winner will be decided soon.
A 13-minute battle is extremely rare. It is a life-and-death fight. Both teams go all out when they meet, and the outcome is often decided in a few minutes.
"It's been so long. With Li Zuwang's ability, he should be able to run 20 to 30 kilometers. Even if he turns back, he should be there..." Mo Qinghao's eyes darkened, and he asked again, "Are you sure you're alone?"
Mo Jian's face looked grim, he couldn't be sure.
Even though Mo Haiming only sensed one person, it now seemed that he could not guarantee whether the assassin was a bait.
"We just found this cave. The assassin was able to find our location so accurately. There must be a traitor..."
When Mo Qinghao's gaze swept over, Mo Jian and the other Mo family members around them all changed their expressions slightly. They looked at each other with a hint of taboo in their eyes.
Mo Qinghao's eyes were cold, knowing that it was not advisable to stay here for long. He pointed out two guards to stay here and said, "You wait here. When they return, follow them. We will first."
Under the suspicious gazes of the others, the two guards stepped out tremblingly, with bitter faces and expressions that said "I'm wronged".
Mo Qinghao briefly explained their route and location, and then called on Mo Jian and others to leave.
As they moved, the human wall protecting Mo Qinghao also formed a marching formation. They no longer formed a circle, but a triangle protect Mo Qinghao in the middle.
"Master..."
Mo Jian suddenly thought of something and was about to speak, but his mouth suddenly became bigger, as if it was squeezed by something, and exploded in an instant!
Brains, teeth , and blood splattered!
The explosion alarmed the surrounding Mo family members, who were all horrified and hurriedly surrounded Mo Qinghao tightly, blocking him with their bodies.
Hot blood splashed on Mo Qinghao's face. On the sharp edge of his combat uniform shoulder, a half-broken tongue was hanging. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked in the direction where the bullet came from.
The assassin is not dead!
That means that Li Zuwang and Mo Haiming who chased after them are in great danger!
And in front of him, Mo Jian was also sniped and killed.
Three of his four most capable personal guards were gone in an instant. He felt a chill and anger in his heart. He immediately raised his sniper rifle and aimed through the wall of people.
At the end of the sniper rifle's aim, it was pitch black. Only scattered rocks could be seen, but no one was there.
Did they release the gun and move to another place, or did they hide it?
Sniper and assassination are all shadow abilities. Some shadow abilities can disguise the body to be the same as the surrounding environment. A rock or a tree may be an assassin!
“Damn it!!”
Mo Qinghao gritted his teeth as he looked at the fallen body of Mo Jian. The latter was not like him, who could regenerate his head. If he was hit in other parts of the body, even in the heart, Mo Jian's second form of vitality could sustain his life for a moment, and in this brief moment, he could help him reconstruct and regenerate.
But, this is the head.
Died instantly!
There was no chance for him to regenerate, and his life was gone in an instant.
What a powerful gun, what an accurate gun!
There was a flash of coldness in Mo Qinghao's eyes. The other party actually came back quietly, waiting for them to reveal a flaw.
In just a moment of formation change, Mo Jian was exposed and was sniped. The opponent realized that he could not kill him, so he planned to deal with the other second forms around him first.
Seeing Wei Chengfeng remaining, Mo Qinghao immediately asked others to protect him well as well.
Wei Chengfeng was the last remaining personal guard. When he saw Mo Jian’s tragic death, his face turned pale. If he had been the one sniped, he might not have been able to react.
After all, shadow-type abilities are considered to be more sensitive.
"Seventh Master, what should we do now?" Wei Chengfeng shrank into the encirclement and looked around. His ability was quietly activated to defend himself.
As long as he is prepared, he is not afraid of snipers.
"Of course I'll find a chance to kill him!"
Mo Qinghao's eyes revealed murderous intent. He had lost three personal guards in succession. He had never suffered such a big loss at the hands of others.
"Seek cover first."
He ordered immediately.
The crowd hid him behind a huge rock and still surrounded him in a circle.
The two Mohist members who were previously assigned to stay behind also returned to the team. Now that the assassin has returned, Li Zuwang and Mo Haiming will probably not be able to wait for him to come back.
Mo Qinghao took his backpack from someone next to him and found two things inside.
Wei Chengfeng recognized one of them, it was Xuzhixiang.
This thing is not a ruins soldier, but it has special effects against ruins and ancient corpses. It belongs to the category of ruins items. Once it is ignited, the fragrance will drift away and it will attract nearby ruins and ancient corpses.
This thing can only attract the ruins in the same world. Its fragrance is different from light and cannot penetrate the world.
Wei Chengfeng was a little puzzled. This thing was used to hunt ancient corpses. Now that the assassin was lurking nearby, was it still possible to continue hunting ancient corpses?
Mo Qinghao picked up another object in his hand, which looked like an eyeball. He said to Wei Chengfeng, "This is the Eye of Chris. It is circulated within the Steam Association. It can sense evil thoughts within a radius of 800 meters and follow them. The effect lasts for 12 hours!"
Wei Chengfeng was stunned and a little surprised. He had heard of the famous Eye of Chris, also known as the Nemesis of Rebels.
The Gao clan or other major forces would use this item to verify the identities of core members. If there is a traitor among them, there is a high probability that it will be detected.
The reason why the probability is not 100% is that if this thing is released, it can only be sensed when the other party has evil intentions.
If some traitors hide their evil thoughts deep in their hearts and do not reveal them easily, they will not be detected.
"Young Master, if we use it now, we can find the location of the assassin!" Wei Chengfeng said happily.
Mo Qinghao rolled his eyes at him and said, "The person who was assigned to assassinate me and almost succeeded must be a top assassin. This kind of person will hide his evil intentions at all times except for the moment of assassination. Because of some special abilities, he can also detect evil thoughts. He even has the ability to read minds!"
Wei Chengfeng understood that Mo Jian died too quickly and Qi Ye had no time to take out this item and use it. By the time he had another chance, he was worried that the other party would have restrained his murderous intent and gone dormant.
"Who is the young master?"
Wei Chengfeng was puzzled.
Mo Qinghao said coldly: "I only brought one of this thing, it's too expensive, and there's only one chance, so I need to be absolutely sure!"
"Chengfeng, I need you to be the bait!"
Wei Chengfeng's face changed slightly, and he immediately said: "For Master Qi, I will not hesitate to die!"
"Don't give me that. I'm not asking you to die. With your ability, you won't die from a sniper attack. Just don't be reluctant to use your full strength." Mo Qinghao snorted coldly.
Wei Chengfeng looked at the Xuzhixiang in his hand. He was not stupid and immediately understood the young master's thoughts: "Young master plans to ignite the Xuzhixiang to attract the ancient corpses. Then, we take advantage of the gaps when the ancient corpses fight, and I deliberately reveal a flaw to let the other side snipe?"
"That's right."
Mo Qinghao nodded.
If Wei Chengfeng were to withdraw from the human wall now, or show up on purpose, the other party would definitely notice it.
After all, Mo Jian had been sniped and killed, and Wei Chengfeng was the only personal guard left. How could he dare to expose himself?
Even if they are exposed, they are most likely to be on guard and will not necessarily attract snipers.
Therefore, you have to be "forced" to expose yourself in an extremely careless and panicked situation in order to catch the fish!
"Chengfeng, the time has come to test your acting skills. Don't let me down!" Mo Qinghao looked at him coldly.
Wei Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely lure him out!"
Hunting in Xudong, why did the young master bring out the Eye of Chris... This is specially used to detect traitors. Could it be that the young master is suspicious of the team... Wei Chengfeng's eyes converged, and thoughts kept turning in his mind.
He glanced at Mo Qinghao's body inadvertently.
If the assassin wanted to kill the young master, he had to blow up the head on his neck and the head hidden inside his body at the same time.
That head has no skull, but only important brain tissues. Where would they be hidden?
"What are you thinking about?" Mo Qinghao had already lit the Xuzhi incense and looked at Wei Chengfeng.
Wei Chengfeng was startled, then came to his senses and said, "I was thinking about how to control my expression later. The other party can snipe accurately and should be able to see every change in my facial expression."
"Yeah." Mo Qinghao nodded slightly: "You can practice now, or think about it in your mind. You only have one chance. If you fail, we can only run away. Do you understand?"
Wei Chengfeng took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
He immediately tried to control his expression and rehearse it. Mo Qinghao didn't say anything. He handed the quietly burning Xuzhi incense to his men beside him, then picked up the sniper rifle and continued to look around, trying to find the assassin.
I looked around through the gaps in the human wall, but still couldn't see the assassin.
Very patient... Mo Qinghao's eyes became colder and colder.
The fragrance emitted by Xuzhixiang has a special smell, which is also something made by the Steam Association.
Compared with the manufactured cars, trains and other items, the real trump card behind the Steam Association that allows it to stand out among the major forces in the inner city is the various types of items that it continuously launches.
This is a level that ordinary people cannot access, and it is also the real forte of the Steam Association.
As the smell drifted away, ten minutes passed as everyone waited quietly. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the darkness.
Mo Qinghao looked through the scope of his sniper rifle and immediately saw an ancient corpse wandering over.
"Too weak." Mo Qinghao frowned. It was just a C-level ancient corpse with long arms and legs and a body size of about two meters. At this level, it was not enough to force them to disperse their formation.
We need more and stronger ancient corpses.
His face was gloomy. If Li Zuwang and the others were still there, he would not have any psychological pressure to do such a thing. But now there were only him and Wei Chengfeng, the two second-level ones. If they really attracted a B-level ancient corpse, it would be somewhat dangerous.
Bang!
Mo Qinghao did not let Wei Chengfeng take action, but shot him directly with a sniper shot.
As the aroma of Xu fat dissipated, more and more noises came from the darkness. After Mo Qinghao sniped two of them, he ordered his men to step forward and kill them, while he and Wei Chengfeng hid in the human wall.
The rest of his men were at their initial limit level, and some of them had activated their critical state. However, as the number of ancient corpses increased, casualties soon occurred.
They fired rapid-fire ruin-destroying guns, but only pierced through the ancient corpse. Under the healing effect of the mist, the corpse glued itself together again.
"This level should be realistic enough." Mo Qinghao looked at his two dead men and wondered whether it was time to let Wei Chengfeng perform.
roar!
At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the darkness.
Mo Qinghao's face changed slightly. He stared over and saw an ancient corpse crawling towards him, like a huge beast, crawling on its hands and feet. It had flesh wings on its back, but only one, growing near the spine, like an incomplete and deformed angel.
Mo Qinghao hurriedly aimed his sniper rifle and quickly made a hole in the ancient corpse.
"Xie Xiang, it's your turn to show off." Mo Qinghao looked at Wei Chengfeng and growled, "Run!"
He put away his sniper rifle and retreated under the cover of his men.
Everyone ran towards the other side of the previous sniper assassination, appearing a little panicked during the retreat. Wei Chengfeng ran while looking for other people around him for cover, only occasionally revealing a flaw.
It’s true enough... Wei Chengfeng ran quickly, but he was alert to his surroundings.
roar!
The crawling ancient corpse was very fast and soon caught up with them. Mo Qinghao could only grit his teeth and turn around to fight back. In order to avoid losing too much of his men, he could only draw his sword and kill the ancient corpse while being alert to his surroundings.
Although he was shot in the head before, that was because he was completely unprepared. But it was different now. He was prepared and it was impossible for him to be shot in the head again.
He was extremely agile and was able to barely fend off the ancient corpse's attack. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he was able to cope with it with the support of others.
Seeing that Mo Qinghao was almost hit by the ancient corpse, Wei Chengfeng did not bother to hide anymore and stepped forward to help.
With the cooperation of the two and the restraint of other men, they managed to suppress the attack of the ancient corpse.
Mo Qinghao secretly rejoiced in his heart that he was really lucky. This ancient corpse was only of average level among B-grade. If it was an extremely strong one, it would most likely force him to use his full strength, and this time the temptation to play with fire would really become playing with fire.
After all, dealing with Class B is hard enough, and one also has to be wary of sneak attacks from the dark.
Not long after, the crawling ancient corpse was hacked to death by their combined efforts. Mo Qinghao and Wei Chengfeng were both injured, and they lost seven or eight of their men. Now there are only less than 15 people left.
"Where's the sniper? Where's the sniper?"
Wei Chengfeng looked at the fallen ancient corpse with an ugly look in his eyes. He had already revealed so many flaws, so why didn't the assassin shoot?
Mo Qinghao was also a little surprised. They had been acting before, but the appearance of this B-level ancient corpse forced them to expose their flaws. They were really in a mess.
As a result, the assassination sniper did not appear again.
The assassin has left?
Impossible. The assassin just walked away without killing me?
Is your target just Mo Jian?
Just kidding!
"Seventh Master, I..." Wei Chengfeng's face looked ugly. He had been trying very hard.
Mo Qinghao glanced at him coldly and said, "There will not be a second chance like this."
When Wei Chengfeng saw his gaze, he felt a chill in his heart. Was the other party talking about the opportunity to seduce him, or... his own opportunity?
"Since the assassin has left, let's just hunt as normal." Mo Qinghao said coldly.
Wei Chengfeng certainly didn't believe what he said. How could the assassin leave?
What was the flaw that made the assassin realize they were acting?
Wei Chengfeng was at a loss for words. Could it be that his acting skills were simply too bad? That was impossible...
Following Mo Qinghao's order, everyone else began to hunt the remaining ancient corpses that were attracted around them according to the formation. Only four people surrounded Mo Qinghao and protected him closely, while the rest of them all turned into hunting forces.
Wei Chengfeng naturally no longer enjoyed the protection of the human wall.
Mo Qinghao himself was not afraid of sniping. He was worried that Wei Chengfeng would die, so he set up a human wall to protect him and lure out the assassin. But since Wei Chengfeng's performance did not satisfy him, there was no need to worry.
Wei Chengfeng also realized that he could only hope for the best.
This was a bit strenuous for him. Although he could use his abilities to protect himself, if he had to mobilize his abilities all the time, it would consume a lot of his energy. Once it was exhausted, it would be the end of him.
"Damn it, why don't you snipe!" Wei Chengfeng looked ugly and hated the assassin in his heart.
…
…
300 meters behind Mo Qinghao and others.
Next to a pile of rocks, Xu Shen leaned against the inside of a rock, using the scope of his sniper rifle to observe the movements ahead, feeling a little confused.
What on earth are these guys planning?
Deliberately attract his attack?
What is the purpose?
Xu Shen did not choose to shoot, mainly because he saw that the other party was setting a trap.
As the familiar fragrance wafted out, Xu Shen saw ancient corpses approaching Mo Qinghao and others, one, two... As more and more ancient corpses appeared and approached them, Xu Shen also understood where the source of the fragrance was.
The sudden fragrance, coupled with the swarm of ancient corpses, made Xu Shen puzzled.
After all, I had just assassinated one of them, and they couldn't wait to continue hunting?
Obviously, the fragrance was not attracting the ancient corpse, but him.
But the fierce battle that followed made Xu Shen confused again. He felt that the other party seemed to have forgotten him and was fully engaged in the battle with the crawling ancient corpse.
During this period, he revealed several flaws and he almost couldn't hold back. If he hadn't realized that the other party was deliberately using the mouth-watering fragrance to attract the ancient corpse with ulterior motives, Xu Shen would have sniped him long ago.
"There are only two second forms left, and there is an assassin. They actually dare to hunt ancient corpses openly, as if giving me a chance to take action..." Xu Shen's eyes flashed, he was not anxious, he had learned to be patient.
Time passes.
Xu Shen followed Mo Qinghao and others.
During this period, they encountered ancient corpses several times. Sometimes there was no fragrance, but they still encountered ancient corpses. Xu Shen endured it and did not take action.
He still couldn't figure out their original purpose.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours passed.
The dark ruins were extremely vast, with ancient corpses wandering around. Mo Qinghao and others encountered twenty or thirty of them one after another, including three large ancient corpses, which were all killed by the cooperation of Mo Qinghao and Wei Chengfeng.
The number of his subordinates also decreased from 15 to 8.
Mo Qinghao's eyes were gloomy. He ate the dry food he had prepared without saying a word.
The rest of the Mohist members were also eating, drinking, resting, and recovering their strength. The reduction in personnel led to a rather low atmosphere within the team.
Wei Chengfeng's eyes were bloodshot and he was close to the edge of madness. In addition to fighting with ancient corpses for more than ten hours, he also had to be on guard against sneak attacks from the dark.
He is not like Mo Qinghao, who is not afraid of snipers. He needs to use his abilities to protect himself from time to time, and his strength is almost overdrawn.
“Why, why don’t you snipe?!” Wei Chengfeng’s eyes were like a fierce beast on the verge of starvation. He looked in a very bad mental state and he seemed like he would collapse at any time.
After resting, everyone was ready to go. When they were cleaning the embers on the ground, suddenly, a whistling sound suddenly came.
Wei Chengfeng was picking up his backpack, and at that moment he was completely unprepared. With a bang, he was shot in the forehead, but his head did not explode. His body was knocked to the ground, and the bullet was embedded in his skull.
Mo Qinghao was stunned. This attack was too sudden, but he reacted very quickly. He quickly took out the Eye of Chris from his backpack, injected some power into it and activated it.
I saw the black eyeball suddenly turn, as if it came alive, spun around, and then three gray gases flew out of the eyeball.
One flew towards Wei Chengfeng, one flew towards another subordinate in the team, and the other flew away.
