Chapter 462: Chapter 429 Jiang Zhe Cries a River_3

Gu Jiaheng knew there were many fugitive criminals in this dense forest, yet he assumed that for military training, the area must have been cleared.

Who would have thought he would actually encounter one.

These kinds of criminals simply wouldn’t reason with you.

Or perhaps, these people were arranged by the school to act the part?

But no matter which it was, he didn’t want to confront them head-on; there were no good outcomes there.

He softened his tone, "I’m a student, a student from out of town, from Dragon Emperor Country, here for military training. I don’t have any weapons on me."

The skull-headed man tilted his head, and one person came forward to search Gu Jiaheng.

Upon finding something on Gu Jiaheng, it was handed over to the skull-headed man.

Skull-head glanced at it, "A laser weapon? And you said you had nothing!"

He punched Gu Jiaheng in the back, and Gu Jiaheng fell to his knees, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out violently.

The weight of this punch made Gu Jiaheng realize that these weren’t actors; this was real!

The tiny sliver of hope he had left was extinguished by that punch.

Just thinking about how there was no help in such a place brought on fear.

"Boss, we could take him hostage. If we run into those cops later, he could buy us some time," someone suggested.

"No!" blurted out Gu Jiaheng.

He didn’t want to die, let alone be tortured!

Skull-head asked, "Who else is with you?"

"There are, over there, some girls, very pretty girls!" he immediately said.

He was talking about Xiaobao; Xiaobao was petite and had blonde hair and blue eyes, sure to catch these people’s interest.

He urged, "Girls are weaker and less likely to resist, using a girl as a hostage would be easier to manage than me."

"Heh heh," the other party seemed to look down on his actions, the laughter full of mockery.

"Then you’re of no use to us," Skull-head said, pulling the bolt of his gun back, pressing it against Gu Jiaheng’s head, ready to shoot the next second.

"I’m useful, I’m useful, don’t shoot, don’t shoot. I’ll take you to her!" Gu Jiaheng hurriedly said.

Skull-head thought about it, then said, "Lead the way."

The chat was filled with curses, "Is this guy insane? Does he really think about leading these people to Jiang Zhe?"

"These bad guys are obviously just acting, with their guns and tattoos and all, it’s too deliberate, bad guys can’t be so blatantly villainous!"

"Of course, they’re acting, you wouldn’t actually let students encounter armed criminals! So this Mr. Gu, just for the sake of a few points, betrays a girl, utterly despicable!"

"So disgusting! Xiaobao and Jiang Zhe didn’t do anything to wrong him, did they?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this military training is truly revealing people’s true nature!"

Jiang Zhe, after finishing the fruit and feeling full, was resting with his eyes closed when he heard Xiaobao and Fatty return.

"Got the snake! Master, how should we eat it?" Fatty asked.

"The venom of poisonous snakes is secreted from the teeth. There are venom sacs behind the teeth, be careful to remove the venom sacs and the teeth, then the remaining meat is safe to eat," Beifeng explained.

With Beifeng’s direction, Xiaobao and Fatty began processing the snake.

Moments later, the snake was ready, placed on the fire to roast, and soon a delicious aroma wafted through the air.

Jiang Zhe came over with a handful of leftover raspberries, clenched his fist, and raspberry juice dripped onto the snake meat, the tantalizing scent making mouths water.

"It smells so good, I’m drooling," Xiaobao said.

Sam Gold originally complained about Dragon Emperor Country people eating anything, but when he smelled the aroma, reminiscent of prime wagyu beef mixed with roasted chicken, he couldn’t help but look over frequently.

His stomach grumbled twice.

Xiaobao heard it, patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, you killed the snake, so no matter what, I’ll make sure you get your share."

Just as he was thinking, suddenly a light flashed not far away.

Jiang Zhe yanked Sam Gold away with force.

He rolled on the ground, felt something whizzing by his ear.

Then, a gunshot sounded, a bullet flew past, and lodged itself into the trunk of a tree.

He realized that if Jiang Zhe had been a bit slower just now, the bullet would have gone into his head.

Beifeng said, "Everyone be on guard."

Xiaobao and Fatty obediently found positions to keep watch.

The snake meat fell into the fire.

Sam Gao was terribly distressed.

Soon after, a group of armed men walked out, with Gu Jiaheng pushed to the front as an obvious hostage.

Each of these people was holding a submachine gun, their combat power astonishing.

"All five of you, come out!"

Following that command, Beifeng and Jiang Zhe exchanged glances, realizing that the other party had fully grasped their group’s situation, and there was no avoiding them.

These were certainly the revelations of Gu Jiaheng.

It seemed that criminals often appeared in the Secret Realm Archipelago, which was indeed not an unfounded rumor, but had a cause.

Xiaobao and Fatty seemed quite relaxed: "We’re coming out, we’re coming out!"

They also thought that this was a drill organized by the school’s authorities.

Only Beifeng and Jiang Zhe could tell at a glance that these people were not drill participants.

The murderous intent and ferocity on them were real.

Even soldiers would have only an imposing air, not this kind of frightening, reckless ferocity.

And those guns were all real firearms.

Jiang Zhe frowned, "Gu Jiaheng, did you lead them here?"

"I..." Gu Jiaheng, facing Jiang Zhe’s eyes, could neither tell lies nor dare to find excuses due to his guilt.

Xiaobao couldn’t help but curse, "Traitor! You did this for some points!"

Fatty also cursed, "Gu Jiaheng, you’re big and tall, over one eight meters, we could have taken these guys together, and yet you chose to betray us! You want to take all our points for yourself, don’t you!"

These two still had no awareness of the danger, cursing and ready to act next, intending to disarm these men—after all, the bullets used in drills were rubber and couldn’t cause any harm.

Jiang Zhe saw that the two were still oblivious to the situation; taking their concerns lightly could result in them being shot at any moment.

Jiang Zhe said to Beifeng, "Remind Xiaobao and the others."

"You do it," Beifeng responded.

"Beifeng!" Jiang Zhe’s tone became a bit more serious.

"No noise!" Seeing the two starting to argue, the man with the skull mask raised his gun into the sky, threatening them.

Beifeng had no choice but to caution Xiaobao and the other, "Gu Jiaheng isn’t doing this to keep his points, but to save his neck. These guys are real desperados, and their guns are real, too."

Sam Gao, who was initially reaching to save the snake meat from the fire, silently retracted his hand upon hearing this.

Xiaobao angrily said, "So why do you want us to come out? Even if you killed this traitor, we wouldn’t have come out!"

She caught the attention of the man with the skull mask.

Gu Jiaheng, knowing that his actions had been seen through, could no longer care for anything else: "It’s her. She’s small and easy to control. You taking her as a hostage would be much safer and easier than dragging me along!"

His shameless statement angered everyone.

But with so many guns pointed at them, they couldn’t afford to settle scores with him.

Xiaobao’s face changed slightly, obviously scared.

"Yes, Xiaobao is a good choice. Let’s have Xiaobao go," Jiang Zhe spoke up.

The skull mask noticed Jiang Zhe, a gleam of craftiness flashing in his eyes. In comparison to Xiaobao, Jiang Zhe appeared skinnier, although taller, but he seemed to be someone who would not put up much of a fight.

Especially since Jiang Zhe was quite a looker, if they were to take a hostage, they might as well take one that was pleasing to the eye. Once they broke through the encirclement here and looked back...

"You! Come here!" the skull mask said to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe cried out, "Don’t take me away, I’m scared..."

"Yes, don’t take her, take me!" Xiaobao hesitated for a moment before standing up.

Though she admitted she was less capable, she still retained a soldier’s pride.

However, Xiaobao didn’t realize that the more she acted like that, the less likely these people were to take her. Instead, they stared at Jiang Zhe with intense focus.
