Chapter 400: Chapter 400: The Dark Division Intervenes (5)_1

By the time Baibai returned to its original size, Situ Xin had leaped onto its back. "Baibai, you should be able to sense the aura of Brother Che and Brother Jie. Get me to their side at the fastest speed," Situ Xin said to Baibai in an urgent tone.

"Master, Baibai understands." Baibai accelerated its flying speed, which was no joke. Before long, Xiang Yang and the others lost sight of Baibai and Situ Xin.

With a "bang," a gunshot sound came from nowhere, wounding an arm of one of Situ Che and Loo Jie’s soldiers. "Everyone be alert, we’re ambushed from behind," Jiang Anbang, upon hearing the gunshot, shouted to his teammates. The comrades close to the wounded soldier edged backward, vigilantly scanning the area.

"This is bad, we’ve been ambushed again. Those people, they’ve disappeared." Just as everyone was recovering from the shock of the sudden gunshot, the Leader and his men had already vanished from their sight. Their swiftness sent a jolt through the hearts of Situ Che, Loo Jie, and a few from The Dark Division.

The Dark Division members, while keeping an eye out for any signs of ambush, couldn’t help but think, "Could their Ancient Martial Arts skills surpass ours? They managed to disappear right before our eyes, without a trace." Initially, they assumed only the Leader of the opposition was an Ancient Martial Arts expert, but the current situation made their hearts pound with apprehension. They wondered how their own capabilities in The Dark Division measured up against their enemies.

However, they didn’t have much time to ponder. Gunshots rang out once more.

"Quick, everyone find some cover and hide." The sensory perception of these special forces soldiers was stronger than that of ordinary people. However, the visibility was poor, surrounded by trees, and the enemy was extremely familiar with the terrain, making the situation for Situ Che’s side very grim.

They felt like tigers trapped in a cage, struggling without finding a direction to attack. Sure enough, in a short time, two of their special forces soldiers had been shot. Fortunately, their reflexes were good. Unable to dodge the bullets completely, they managed to avoid being hit in critical areas. Most of the injuries were on their arms.

Considering their current location and predicament, everyone knew they couldn’t stay huddled together, which would only make it easier for the enemy to wipe them out in one sweep. They quickly dispersed in pairs and sought any available cover.

Situ Che and Loo Jie found themselves together, along with the Leader of The Dark Division, and Jiang Anbang, the team leader of Situ Che and Loo Jie.

Once Situ Che and Loo Jie found suitable positions behind a tree with a small mound of earth behind it, offering slight protection from possible rear attacks, they calmed their breathing, steadied their hearts, and began using their acute senses to feel for the enemy’s presence. Situ Xin had trained them in sensory perception, but this was the first time they had utilized it in real action.

It was a desperate measure they had just thought of employing.

Beyond Situ Che and Loo Jie using their senses to detect the enemy, members of The Dark Division—who didn’t have as sharp senses but made up for it with their experience—were also applying this method, something they often did on previous missions.

"50 meters, diagonally ahead," Situ Che sensed an aura filled with the intent to kill. He quickly raised his gun, and following his instincts, fired a bullet towards the area 50 meters diagonally ahead.

Immediately, a man there fell to the ground. Feeling the enemy’s fall, Situ Che breathed a sigh of relief, and his confidence in his own senses soared. The previously uneasy feelings now settled down.

"40 meters to the left, in front." Loo Jie also detected his target swiftly and drew his pistol, firing a shot in that direction.

Gradually, Situ Che and Loo Jie got a hang of sensing the enemy’s hiding spots with their keen senses, taking them down with single shots and growing more adept at it. Along with the stalwart support from The Dark Division members, the tide was slowly turning for their side.

Although there might have been a significant gap in power between them and their opponents, the training Situ Che and his team had undergone was not for naught. Techniques for hiding and taking cover proved valuable in this situation. The enemy used the shadows to their advantage initially, but once Situ Che’s team found places to hide, it became much harder for the opposing force to find opportunities to shoot at them.

Several shots resulted only in Situ Che’s teammates sustaining injuries to arms or shoulders, with no vital hit. To them, as long as the vital parts were missed, it was a silver lining in an unfortunate situation.

On the other hand, the opposition lost several key subordinates under the gunfire of Situ Che, Loo Jie, and the members of The Dark Division.

"Hei Er, how are you commanding? Hurry up and kill them all for me. Don’t leave a single one alive, wipe them out," barked the drug lord, the rough-looking man who appeared earlier, infuriated at how the battle was progressing.

Actually, they had never left the area. Instead, they were well-prepared and had already found concealed positions.

"Yes, boss, I’ll give the orders right away. However, it seems like a few anomalies have appeared on the other side, and it’s different from the information we obtained," Hei Er wiped the sweat from his brow. According to the information and intelligence they had gathered, combined with their meticulous planning, these special forces soldiers should have already been sitting ducks. But, the current situation was not as they had anticipated; instead, their side was the one suffering heavy losses.
