Chapter 429: Ambush
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
"This place is the best place for ambushes. Buck must be familiar with our walking route," Jiang Liushi observed the bare stone columns around them and said slowly. The stone forest in this area was relatively open, and some of the stone columns were large enough to hide one person. Ran Xiyu had sensed that Buck had led his group to where they were without any scruple. Plus, Buck Squad was quite familiar with this area so the Aeolus Squad could not detect them.
"What does that mean?" Qi Liang still couldn't understand.
"Nothing, let's go." Jiang Liushi didn't have the time to explain complicated matters.
Not long after they left that area, rustling sounds came, and a person with bloodshot eyes emerged from behind a column. He observed carefully for a while and then waved back. Suddenly, Buck's team came out. There was no sign of their motorcycles, which meant that they had been walking all this time. They were all carrying dark military backpacks.
"Boss, that group of people is foolish. If they had all come inside, we could have only run away," a team member said smilingly.
"According to their route, they will return here again. We can bury some mines here and wait for them to come," Buck said.
At first, when he caught a whiff of the incoming team's smell, he was very vigilant. But when he noticed that the team split in two, one going right and the other left, he realized that the topography of the forest had confused them as the two different paths they took led to the same place. Hence, he felt completely relieved. In their backpacks was a large number of simple mines that he had made.
"Natural ambush spots." Making a glance at other pillars around, Buck smiled happily.
"Distribute them evenly and bury them. We will kill them in one go!" Buck added.
As long as one mine exploded, it would lead them to panic, and then they would run around and finally die. Buck seemed to have done this before.
Buck and two of his subordinates went left, and one of them started shoveling the snow to bury the mine.
"D*mn, why are so many thistles and thorns here?" He cursed and was about to pull all those thorns out. However, when he touched those plants, green thorns surged suddenly, and they gave out an energy luster before stabbing his palms. The moment he was stabbed, he felt his arm paralyzed.
'Poisonous?' The idea flashed in his mind. The thorns that pierced his hands had actually destroyed the soil, and large green plants swept over like poisonous snakes. Numerous needles instantly penetrated him. Not only that, a large amount of blood together with the power of his body was absorbed rapidly. He was almost instantly turned into a shriveled bag of bones with no bodily fluid left.
"What the hell is this thing?" Seeing this scene, Buck was frightened and stepped back continuously.
'What's that strange plant? Why did it kill a paranormal suddenly?'
"Ah! Ah!"
At that moment, two more horrible shrieks sounded. Not far away, two other subordinates who had gone to bury mines were all killed by bizarre plants and quickly became like mummies.
The strange scene threw Buck Squad in chaos. Next, two more people fell heavily on the ground. Originally, there were only 17 people in Buck team, but now five of them had been killed, among them one was a paranormal.
"Something's wrong!" In the extreme panic, Buck quickly calmed down. He suddenly smelled a pungent odor from more than 200 meters away. And that pungent odor had swiftly come as the wind was accelerating its effects. In a short time, his nose was filled with a stimulating taste. His sense of smell could be both sensitive and fragile. That kind of extremely pungent smell brought him immense pain.
"What's this? Get out of here quickly!" His instincts alarmed him that there was a danger.
Suddenly, a powerful team rushed out of a pillar in front of his vision. This team was led by a young man, who had a unique temperament. Although he was an ordinary person, his eyes were as deep as the night. He had a sniper rifle in his hand, and beside him was a beautiful young lady.
"Surrender!" Jiang Liushi shouted. He frowned because he had overestimated Buck's team.
'Roar!'
Suddenly an ape-like paranormal rushed toward Jiang Liushi.
'Bang!'
The sniper rifle in Jiang Liushi's hand spewed out a metal bullet shell. The overwhelmed paranormal was instantly torn apart in two and fell at once.
'Boom!' Another paranormal who had the abilities of a cheetah and was as fast as lightning tried to escape. However, the moment he leaped in the air, his head exploded like a watermelon.
Buck's blood turned cold. 'Sniper expert!'
Even an ordinary person, as long as he was a sniper, could control other paranormals' lives. There were only five paranormals on his team. One was wounded, one was killed by thorns, two were shot, but only he was still alive. Moreover, the enemy team had 14 paranormals. They threw themselves into Buck Squad like tigers, and some ordinary survivors who tried to resist were killed swiftly.
"I... I'm Buck, don't shoot me!" In the face of Jiang Liushi's sniper rifle, Buck fell to the ground with his horrified buttocks and raised his hands in the air. He even felt he was dreaming.
"Brother Jiang, these people were too weak. You could actually kill all of them on your own," Qi Liang came to say. His special ability was that he could transform into a powerful bear. He had just torn an enemy in half.
"What do you know? If Brother Jiang hadn't deliberately circled to confuse them and spread the chemical powder, how could it have been so easy?" Wang Chuanfu said.
Hearing Wang Chuanfu's words, Buck was shocked. And then he stared at Jiang Liushi fiercely. He didn't expect that the young man would have arranged everything.
"No, you... How could you detect our every move?" Buck asked suddenly.
'What do you think' Suddenly a gentle voice sounded in his mind.
'A psychic paranormal!?' Buck was shocked to death, lying on the ground directly.
"Brother Jiang, someone…no many people are approaching us," Ran Xiyu frowned and said.
Qi Liang took the chain and walked toward Buck, whose eyes lit up when he heard Ran Xiyu's words.
'Black Water? They must have come!' Buck thought.
In fact, Buck did not expect that they would be caught so quickly. Otherwise, according to his plan, they wouldn't be in big danger at all. The Black Water Organization would help them…
"Black Water Organization? No wonder you didn't run away. It turned out that you wanted to lure us in and encircle us," Jiang Liushi said. "However, it doesn't really matter. I will complete this mission!" Jiang Liushi wanted to quickly increase the internal rating of his team in the Xiayuan government. Of course, he would not let Buck run away.
At that moment, Zhang Hai had taken the iron chain and was ready to tie the Buck.
"Wait!! Let me go. I know a lot of Black Water Organization's secrets. They obviously want to deal with you. You can sell those secrets the military government in the Xiayuan Island. They will definitely take measures to deal with-" He shouted but his shoes were suddenly ripped apart, exposing a pair of goat hooves, and two long horns appeared on his forehead. He dashed toward Jiang Liushi, but he suddenly felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer. And then all his actions became stiff.
'Mental attack!' Buck fell in total despair.
'Don't act rashly. Your emotions are in my grasp,' Ran Xiyu warned.
'Bang!'
A gunshot came, and on Buck's left leg a bloody hole appeared. The severe pain caused him to scream and spasm uncontrollably. If his ability had not enhanced his physique, he would have died.
"If you struggle again, I will kill you at once. I guess that the government won't refuse to collect your corpse, but I feel it's a bit disgusting." Jiang Liushi had a Type 54 pistol in his hand and pressed it against Buck's head. Buck was more afraid of death than pain.
"Don't get any funny thoughts. The so-called secrets you have are nothing more than Black Water hiring you to rob the government. You can use this to threaten the Black Water Organization. But I don't want to stir up this kind of trouble," Jiang Liushi said calmly.
Hearing Jiang Liushi's words, Buck became desperate. His last hope had disappeared.
The Aeolus Squad and Zhang Hai started searching for their resources.
"Where are your motorcycles and resources hidden?" Wang Chuanfu stepped forward and kicked one of Buck's subordinates.
At that time, Jiang Liushi heard fierce gunfire from outside.
