Chapter 1145: Chapter 594: Man Means No Harm to the Tiger, Yet the Tiger Desires to Eat Man!_3

The intense gunshots rang out again, with Sean Knight’s location being elusive, which made the tribal warriors with only a limited number of arrows and javelins also become more cautious!

And that was exactly the effect Sean Knight wanted!

The intense gunshots startled many birds in the jungle and sent small animal species scurrying in panic; some of the carnivores sensed the danger, with some turning to flee and others starting to roar!

Over one kilometer away from the tribe, two Amazon warriors heard the gunshots and exchanged a look, both flashing an expression of pleasure.

They had been sent by Aiwa to scout the situation.

Aiwa’s mission for them was to monitor if there was any unrest in the tribe. If there was such a loud noise, they were to check the vicinity of the tribe after the noise ceased to see how much the tribe had lost.

Sean Knight didn’t expect that even though Aiwa couldn’t move, her plan to deploy female warriors hadn’t changed.

In the jungle, Sean Knight moved fast, and so did the Amazon warriors; after all, this was their home turf!

The two female warriors immediately quickened their pace toward the direction of the battlefield!

Sean Knight shifted his position within the smoke, but his core target was always the old priest!

Only by taking him down could the cohesion of the tribe be broken!

Finally, in the midst of dodging from side to side, Sean Knight successfully got within forty to fifty meters of the old priest.

At that moment, he was almost surrounded by the tribal warriors and residents!

Then, from behind a tree, Sean Knight fired a few bursts at several warriors only about twenty or so meters away, forcing them to take cover behind the trees. He then put away his gun, changed position, and pulled out four hand grenades!

He almost simultaneously pulled the pins and, with both hands, threw the four hand grenades toward the crowd where the old priest was!

The old priest seemed to sense the danger and dodged into the crowd again, his gaze piercing through the smoke as if trying hard to locate Sean Knight’s position!

Finally, he saw several small black objects flying towards him. His previous encounter had taught him how dangerous these things were, and he was scared into rolling and crawling away to evade them!

However, the old priest had deliberately moved into the crowd earlier to evade Sean Knight, and now the crowd became an obstacle to his escape!

The four hand grenades exploded right beside the old priest; the massive shockwave and compressive force caused the bodies of about seven or eight people nearby to fly apart!

The smoke was also dispersed by the blast, revealing a gruesome sight that was hard to bear.

To Sean Knight’s surprise, the body of the old priest at the center of the explosion was intact, and he was still moving!

His vitality was truly formidable!

However, seeing that his arm was twisted into a knot, his face was covered in blood, his body was embedded with over a dozen bullet fragments, and blood was spurting out as if it cost nothing, it seemed he wasn’t far from death!

The surrounding tribal residents panicked at the sight of the priest in this state; a few rushed over, lifted the priest, and ran toward the tribe!

How could Sean Knight allow them to save the priest—if the priest were to make contact with the leaves of the sacred tree, there was a chance he could really be saved—Sean Knight wouldn’t let even a one in a million chance pass!

As Sean Knight ran, he threw out several smoke bombs again, covering the previous area while he had already darted among the tribal residents. From about twenty to thirty meters away from those carrying the priest, he fired his gun!

Those tribal residents didn’t have the old priest’s abilities and were immediately taken down, adding several more bullet holes to the priest!

Sean Knight then threw out another two hand grenades, and this time the still-breathing priest truly expired!

The other residents who rushed over despite the risk of death dissolved into chaos upon witnessing the priest’s demise and scattered in all directions!

In less than half a minute, the residents had dispersed, leaving only seven or eight tribal warriors searching for Sean Knight’s whereabouts in the smoke!

Sean Knight knew the danger had passed, but he intended to recoup the losses from this battle!

This Ancient City was of such a high caliber—surely the collectibles inside had to be more numerous than those in Aiwa’s ancient city!

So, Sean Knight decided not to leave this time and went back into the city under the cover of the jungle!

While the ancient city had previously been in an orderly stillness, it was now in complete disarray. Many tribal residents were crying at the temple, while others were hiding silently inside stone houses, too scared to make a sound or come out.

A large number of warriors had not returned; there were now only just over a hundred people in the ancient city—the death toll was truly high!

Feeling emboldened, Sean Knight strode about the ancient city with his gun, and upon encountering tribal residents, he would fire bursts to scare them off—most not hitting anyone, but enough to send them running.

For those rare few who were fearless, Sean Knight didn’t indulge them and shot them dead on the spot!

After circling the ancient city again, Sean Knight’s attention ultimately turned back to the Temple.

While the other buildings contained sporadic bits of precious metals, they were not plentiful.

Sean Knight guessed that more must have been collected and kept concentrated somewhere.

If not in the other buildings, then it must be in the Temple!

He threw two hand grenades and two smoke bombs towards the people weeping outside the temple, which sent the tribal residents scurrying like birds and beasts, conveniently facilitating Sean Knight’s actions.

Inside the temple, he found the old priest’s quarters and, to his surprise, some beverages made from the leaves of the sacred tree, though Sean Knight had no interest in them.

Inside were also two fourteen- or fifteen-year-old tribal girls, who at the moment were looking at Sean Knight in terror.

After knocking out the two girls, Sean Knight proceeded to the inner rooms of the temple.

The temple was large, with seven rooms, and sure enough, Sean Knight’s guess was correct: three huge rooms were filled with various sacrificial, ornamental, and day-to-day items made of gold and jade!

Sean Knight didn’t hesitate to take what was there; after all that fighting, using up so much weaponry and ammunition, some compensation for the war was due, right?

Having collected everything from the three rooms, Sean Knight was satisfied and ready to leave.

Then, just as he reached the entrance of the temple, he was once again engulfed in a barrage of arrows!
