Chapter 657: 648, Bright Flashlight (Second Update)_1

By the time Ren He had parked, he had already considered the possibility of being discovered, so he had hidden it well enough, but he didn’t know how familiar these poachers were with the terrain of their main activity area, nor did he know from which direction any newcomers might approach. He could only admit that he was lacking in information.

However, these poachers probably didn’t know what his car looked like. If they managed to steal it, he would really have wasted a good deal of money. But what if these car thieves, failing to steal the car, became enraged and smashed his car? Where would he argue his case then?

Therefore, Ren He had to resolve the current situation and then move the car to another location.

How to resolve it? To make Emetic Water his default skill, killing was absolutely unacceptable.

Moreover, Li Kun’s camp was still awake at that moment. He figured that firing a gun might alert Li Kun, causing him to retreat, and then how would he complete his task?

So there was only one option...

"Um... hold on a moment!" Ren He emerged from his hiding place, calling out softly to the three individuals who were animatedly discussing how to steal the car.

"Who’s there?" The man in the lead turned back nervously upon hearing a stranger’s voice, lowering his own and asking, the three of them adopting strange stances, their hands reaching for their weapons. Ren He noticed that none of them seemed to have firearms concealed on them, indicating that even within poaching rings, the management of guns was extremely strict.

This strictness was probably a measure to prevent their own from turning on them.

The three had thought it was one of Li Kun’s men, but as they used the moonlight to examine the person before them, they exchanged glances... Was this a wild man from No Man’s Land? It didn’t seem likely; after all, his clothes didn’t look like mere scraps thrown on his body, and there were no rumors of wild men in No Man’s Land. But this guy’s complexion... it was just too damned dark!

Ren He watched their expressions, sucking on his incisors with a bit of irritation. Had he really gotten dirty enough to prompt such bewildering looks?

"Don’t move," Ren He said calmly, "Stay here for two hours and I guarantee you’ll be safe, otherwise..."

Before Ren He could finish, the three men had already burst into a low laugh, "What’s he saying? Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard in years."

Another jeered, "Hey, have you lost your mind? You’re all alone."

They were sure this wasn’t one of Li Kun’s men, otherwise why would he lower his voice like them? The three drew out their Dog Leg knives and slowly approached this ’wild man,’ intending to bring back reinforcements to ambush Li Kun. They couldn’t afford to let this guy give away their position.

Seeing that cooperation was off the table, Ren He reluctantly reached towards his waist.

The trio was startled at that moment, thinking that he might have a gun at his waist, and they tensed up!

But when they saw what Ren He pulled out...

"Hahaha, damn, he actually pulled out such a tiny flashlight!"

"Scared me to death, I thought he was going to draw a gun!"

"Alright, knock him out and take him with us. If that doesn’t work, just kill him," one of them said coldly.

However, as the three turned back with malicious smirks to look at Ren He again, an incredible burst of light suddenly erupted from the inconspicuous flashlight...

Back at Li Kun’s campsite, where everyone was gathered around the bonfire drinking and chatting, they suddenly saw a huge white beam of light slanting across towards the distant sky, its blazing intensity as if lighting up the entire wilderness...

"What is that?" Li Kun exclaimed, slapping his butt to stand up and look towards the sand slope, clueless about what was happening behind it.

"Damn, isn’t this the emergence of some legendary treasure?!"

The light was too eerie and unbelievably bright! Even the searchlights they normally saw couldn’t begin to compare to this brilliance.

Moreover, the light flashed for just an instant and then disappeared.

Then, from behind the sand dune in the distance, a voice suddenly carried over: "Damn it, what is this? I’m blind!"

"Damn it, I’m blind too!"

"Ahh, I’m blind as well! I can’t see anything!"

Upon hearing these cries, Li Kun and his men looked at each other in confusion and quickly ran toward the sound, reasoning that if there were people there, it probably wasn’t some kind of supernatural event.

Just a moment ago, three men had been about to surround Ren He when the flashlight turned on and in an instant, their world went completely white, leaving them unable to see anything.

Ren He also took the opportunity to throw three Tear Potions their way, and amid their tearful faces, the three men thought they had gone permanently blind!

If they had known that the flashlight was this powerful, who the hell would look directly at it? More importantly, who the hell would have guessed that such a small flashlight could be so invincible?

Does it even make any sense? Is this really a flashlight? Isn’t this the new variety of portable flash grenade? The three of them genuinely thought they had just looked directly at the sun at close range!

Scampering about in blind panic, the three men crawled away chaotically, but unable to see clearly, they stumbled and fell after just a few steps.

Ren He had given it some thought: this level of setback shouldn’t affect Li Kun’s pursuit of the 10 million in cash. If it had been a gun, it might have been different, after all, guns are perceived as extremely dangerous.

Even if Li Kun temporarily gave up or chose to change locations, Ren He could continue to quietly follow. But what if those three people punctured his tires? What then, would he have to walk out? How long would that take?

If it really came down to it, he would rather use an exemption to abandon the mission than trek out on foot.

Situations had unfolded, and all he could think about was getting away first. He couldn’t be bothered with what would happen to those three if they ended up in Li Kun’s hands. They probably couldn’t avoid a bit of physical suffering, but their lives were surely safe. After all, they were human too, and if someone were truly killed, wouldn’t that make it a fight to the death?

Everyone was here to make money, why should there be any unnecessary fighting? Ren He had come to understand the character and thoughts of these people. He ran towards his car to hide it somewhere else and then come back to observe the situation.

When Li Kun and his men arrived at the back of the dune half a kilometer away, all they saw were three buffoons who thought they had gone blind, crawling aimlessly on the ground and crying as if their hearts were broken...

"Isn’t this... Li Longfei’s men?" someone recognized the identity of the three.

"What happened to them?!" a man next to Li Kun asked with an air of annoyance.

As everyone looked around, they still couldn’t understand the source of that light beam...

A burly man grabbed the collar of one of the men on the ground crying out and asked fiercely, "What are you doing here? Did Li Longfei send you? What was that light just now?"

"A flashlight! It was a flashlight!" the man on the ground replied, sobbing: "A very small flashlight!"

Li Kun and his men were baffled at that moment... Do you think we’re easy to fool? Can a flashlight be so bright? Are you stupid, or do you think we are?

No matter how you put it, Li Kun and his men simply refused to believe that the beam of light could have come from a flashlight!
