Chapter 384: Chapter 263 There’s Something in the River! _2

Suddenly, one by one, people emitted brief cries before being dragged into the darkness, followed by a crunching sound...

A strong stench of blood gushed forth!

Danger!

Yueh Xiangnan and others quickly retreated, ten men providing cover as they helped Professor An and the rest to escape, but Sui Yi and his group faced great pressure.

There were too many shadows.

The smell of gunpowder from the dense fusillade was extremely pungent, the noise was incessant, yet occasionally, screams could be heard as one after another fell, then were dragged into the darkness by the shadows...

Flower Demon felt a cold breeze behind her; she turned around—left hand firing a gun and right hand swinging a whip!

Pong!

The bullet missed! The whip, being flexible, could undulate and attack, and it happened to strike the opponent, snap! A crisp sound of flesh being whipped, she definitely sent that thing flying, the light from her wristwatch illuminating it!

All she saw was a pitch-black face and a pair of crimson eyes...

At first glance, it looked like one of those Black Demons from Western novels...

"Damn! What the hell are these things!" Flower Demon had just thought about striking with deadly intent when the Black Demon swatted its claws...

The cold light was fierce!

"No good!"

Flower Demon blocked with her arm, and instantly felt a stinging pain!

Hidden Weapons?

"Bastard, these ghostly things are people! They have hidden weapons!"

Flower Demon’s scream startled everyone else, people!

As she burst out, those shadows seemed to receive some sort of command and simultaneously flung out a gleaming cold light...

Hidden Weapons!

Once faced with such hidden weapons, bullets seemed alone and ineffective~~

Sui Yi pressed his fingers on the hilt, inner strength surged inside him, attaching to the sword, the inner strength turned into a daunting, dark green light, the sharp whizzing of the sword sounded like phantoms from the depths of the soul.

In a flash...

Swoosh!

Sword Qi!

The green light slashed horizontally, lifting up great swathes of scythe-shaped sand... snap! Falling on these hidden weapons, imbued with the sharp Sword Qi, the hidden weapons in front of Gong Jiu and others deviated from their trajectory and were knocked down!

They avoided it!

And Sui Yi, at that moment, charged into the darkness like a fierce ghost, a glint of his sword light and a shadow fell with a thud!

"Left seven steps! Three!" This voice spoke in local Provincial City dialect...

Was it to prevent these assassins from understanding?

At any rate, Gong Jiu and others understood!

Gong Jiu immediately turned his gun! The light shone just right! He quickly blasted three bullets! Bang bang bang!

Three fell!

"Back six, seven"

"Front fifteen, nine!"

As Sui Yi’s commands were issued at a rapid rate, not only did it allow Gong Jiu and the others to effectively dodge the shadowy assassins, but it also greatly improved their accuracy of attack!

Of course, those who could understand her included Wei Feng’s people and some military personnel.

Among them was Xiao Yu.

This woman was extremely formidable; Gong Jiu caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, noting her gunplay was virtually a gunshot to the head every time, and she could even use a Military Sabre with her left hand! A single slash to the throat!

"Damn, no wonder he became a major general at such a young age!"

He must have killed quite a few people and earned significant military merits!

Gong Jiu, who had also trained in the military, immediately assessed Xiao Yu’s capabilities, but he didn’t speculate further since it wasn’t the right time.

When they worked together, the group’s destructive power was astonishing.

However, what shocked Xiao Yu the most was that the lone figure who broke into the darkness moved swiftly with the flash of the sword, striking down foes as the sword rose and fell!

One by one, they fell!

It seemed the darkness had no effect on her; such lethality left Wei Feng unable to believe it, yet dreadfully fearful.

How could this person have such abilities? Could it be a special constitution or an unusual cultivation technique?

After all, their circle was extremely complex; such matters weren’t too fantastical, so they could only envy and fear, but many soldiers were very astonished.

Perhaps they didn’t expect such a delicate and beautiful girl to possess such terrifying lethal power.

Those from the archaeological team who were pushed back to a distance could only see flickering lights and couldn’t make out the actual situation, but they knew that those who could stay inside were all ruthless.

"What are those terrifying things? Are they Acacia Ants?" It seemed they had encountered Acacia Ants before.

The elder frowned, "It seemed like that girl shouted from behind that they are people... It seems someone ambushed from underwater."

Inside this desert, any peril could exist, but nothing is more vicious than human nature.

"Professor An, the commander just sent a message asking us to escort you out," a young soldier said.

"Leave? What about Xiao Xiao and the others?"

"They will arrive as soon as they can. It’s not safe to stay here for long; we fear those people might catch up..."

As they were on a mission, the group didn’t dare to stay and risk dragging others down, and so they prepared to flee...

But...

All faced showed terrified expressions!

——————————

Bang bang bang!

The food wasn’t finished, but the ammunition was almost gone!

There were too many dark figures!

"Are these really people? How can there be so many people hidden in this river?"

"It seems more are still coming out!"

Now, even Flower Demon wasn’t sure if they were people; could a river truly hide so many people at once?

Alright, even if it could conceal them, when did they go down there? They had been stationed here for about seven or eight hours, definitely, they couldn’t have entered the water in broad daylight under their watch, so they must have swum over at night?

Sui Yi should have sensed something~~

In fact, Sui Yi didn’t sense anything; she was certain these people hadn’t been submerged during this time.

That made it even more strange!

Could they have been underwater all the time? Human beings under the bottom of the water?

Sui Yi and the others considered an almost unthinkable possibility.

The killed were fewer than those emerging; Sui Yi and her allies gradually felt enormous pressure, as more and more were wounded or killed...

"Can’t hold on, retreat!"

"Run!"

The three groups very tacitly tried to turn and run, but after only a few steps, the dark figures behind them didn’t follow, but instead made a gurgling, ominous sound.

Suddenly, Sui Yi remembered the sound recorded in the communicator, which appeared just like this~~

And that sound was now right beside them. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to visit qidian.com to vote for recommendation votes, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
