Bai Ye bared his teeth.
That punch had some force; his body had been reinforced by the T-virus.
Meanwhile…
The man strode towards Bai Ye, saying, "Kid, if you don't want to suffer, hand over the treasure you got from the Tomb of the King of Huainan."
"Your ability seems to be physical reinforcement?" Bai Ye shook his head and chuckled, "So, you rely on that body to make a living. But, I'm sorry, I don't!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, the man suddenly felt something under his foot. He looked down and was instantly shocked.
A Chewer Grenade!
*Boom!*
Three Chewer Grenades beneath the man's feet suddenly detonated, and raging flames erupted, engulfing the man.
"Ah…"
Flames wrapped around the man, and he immediately screamed. He struggled and crashed into the surrounding trees, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
And in that instant…
*Bang!*
Bai Ye pushed off with both legs and lunged at the opponent. He lowered his serrated blade, which vibrated rapidly.
Then…
The moment he reached the opponent, Bai Ye raised the serrated blade and slashed down forcefully.
The sound of flesh tearing suddenly rang out, and then an arm flew through the air. Crimson blood sprayed out, dyeing the grass on the ground red.
Bai Ye curled the corner of his mouth. The opponent's body was only reinforced; it couldn't turn into steel. While strength and speed might be greatly enhanced, defense was not necessarily so. Moreover, even if the body could become as hard as steel, ordinary steel would be as brittle as paper in front of a high-frequency serrated blade.
*Pfft!*
The next moment, Bai Ye swung his blade again with force.
A cold glint flashed.
The screams abruptly stopped!
The serrated blade sliced across the man's neck, and then his head tumbled down, hitting the ground.
*Thump!*
The headless corpse fell backward, and blood flowed out.
Bai Ye flicked the blood off his blade, then returned to the man who had fainted from pain and raised his serrated blade.
"Since your most important little brother is gone anyway, let me grant you release!"
*Pfft!*
Bai Ye forcefully thrust the serrated blade down, piercing the opponent's heart in one strike.
The man's eyes snapped open. His lips twitched, and he laboriously reached out, grabbing Bai Ye's trouser leg before slowly releasing it, completely falling silent.
After dealing with both of them, Bai Ye even rummaged through their bodies to see if they had anything valuable.
Unfortunately, Bai Ye found nothing. The World Battlefield had only opened not long ago, and the members of the Hidden Dragon Society had hardly taken any cross-domain actions. Bagong Mountain might be the first forbidden zone these people had experienced. In other words, the Hidden Dragon Society members hadn't made any gains yet.
Bai Ye could only give up, hoisted his weapon, and continued on his way.
He continued forward along the mountain path, and after about half an hour, Bai Ye reached the vicinity of the mountain path entrance.
Even from a distance, Bai Ye was certain there were people at the mountain path entrance.
This was because, through the gaps in the trees, he could see wisps of smoke drifting.
Bai Ye took out the gun case for his Reaper's Strike, then found a large tree and climbed it. He then set up his rifle among the treetops, secured it with a fixing strap, and observed the mountain path entrance through the high-powered scope.
There were a total of eight people. Five of them were scattered at the mountain path entrance, and three were a bit further back, huddled together smoking. The smoke Bai Ye had seen earlier was from these three revealing their location.
"Eight people, and you want to ambush me?" Bai Ye sneered, "Alright, let the game begin!"
Bai Ye adjusted the scope, made some corrections, then supported the rifle and aimed its muzzle at a man's head.
But, the next moment…
Bai Ye suddenly curled the corner of his mouth, a strange smile appearing.
The muzzle of the Reaper's Strike slowly lowered, aiming at the opponent's knee, and then…
*Bang!*
Bai Ye pulled the trigger. Immediately, a splash of blood erupted from the man's knee, and the man screamed, falling to the ground.
The man's two companions looked astonished. Before they could react, Bai Ye pulled the trigger a second time.
*Bang!*
The second shot rang out, and the second man's calf was pierced by Bai Ye's shot. He fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
After two consecutive shots, the opponents finally reacted.
The men who were smoking pulled their companions, intending to drag them behind the hillside. Just then…
*Bang!*
Bai Ye pulled the trigger a third time!
This time, Bai Ye showed no mercy, directly aiming at the opponent's head. The moment the gunshot sounded, through the scope, he could see a bloody hole appear in the man's head. A wisp of blood dispersed in the air, and then the man fell straight down.
Bai Ye shifted his body slightly, angling the rifle towards the mountain path.
The five people at the mountain path entrance, upon hearing the gunshots, immediately retreated.
Seeing the three men lying in pools of blood, they looked anxious and quickly moved towards them. However, they didn't notice that Bai Ye, through his scope, had already locked onto one of them. He slowly moved the rifle's muzzle, and then…
*Bang!*
Bai Ye pulled the trigger again. The middle-aged man walking at the front fell straight backward.
His head, shot through, killed him instantly!
"Sniper!" someone shouted, "Scatter, scatter quickly, find cover!"
The four men quickly leaped apart, hiding behind the hillside and cautiously curling up.
Bai Ye smiled without speaking. Killing all eight people cleanly with a sniper rifle was certainly not a simple task.
This was because it was a forest area, with cover everywhere. The advantage was that the opponents couldn't easily find Bai Ye, but the disadvantage was that the opponents also had many places to hide. Managing to eliminate half of them at once was already an unexpected delight; the opponents' reaction was slightly slower than Bai Ye had anticipated.
However…
"Hiding means you'll be safe?"
Bai Ye slowly moved the rifle's muzzle again, aiming at the two men he had injured in the legs earlier.
*Bang!*
Bai Ye fired. The bullet hit one man's thigh, and the man immediately cried out in pain, curling up. He tried to reach his wound with his hands but feared further pain, so he could only flail his hands in the air.
The four hiding men were stunned. Were there any survivors?
And at this moment…
*Bang!*
The gunshot rang out again.
This time, another living man began to scream. Bai Ye's shot hit, but it wasn't a fatal vital point; it was aimed at the opponent's hip.
"Bastards!"
The four hiding men immediately understood what Bai Ye was doing.
Bai Ye was asking them…
Your companions are still alive…
Are you planning to come out and save them?
Or are you planning to abandon them?
…
