Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253 Bargaining

On the River of Survival, Lu Yi, holding a shield in front, felt the bullets constantly hammering into it. A pang of panic surged inside him, and he couldn’t help but yell, "Big brother, big sister, come up with something quick; I’m starting to feel seasick."

Ouyang Jin, taking cover behind Lu Yi, also complained, "When you asked me to come here, nobody said anything about being in such an intense gunfight. Shouldn’t I raise my price?"

Hearing about a price raise, Lu Yi became anxious, "I don’t care, if Ouyang Jin, such an incompetent guide, can raise the price, then so should I; otherwise, it’s totally unjust."

Almost everyone was lying down, listening to bullets whizzing overhead, scared to death, but they just didn’t understand why Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin still had the mood to bicker.

However, everyone noticed the shield in Lu Yi’s hand; it was incredibly sturdy. After taking so many bullets, it was still undamaged, without even a mark from the bullets.

Lin Xi deployed the Protective Barrier to protect everyone, and Gu Fan used Vajra Body Protection to shield Lin Xi, but facing the endless bullets, they gradually began to feel overwhelmed and hoped that Su Hui and the others would quickly capture the temporary sluice.

At that moment, an elite shrieking sound came from the left bank, indicating clearly that vampires were arriving. Gu Fan’s heart sank; he guessed right, there was indeed an ambush of vampires on the left bank.

"What should we do?" Gu Fan was quite worried about Su Hui, but knowing Zhuo Hang was also on the left bank made him feel slightly less concerned.

Lin Xi said, "It looks like we can’t rely on Sister Su; we’ll have to fend for ourselves. Everyone, bring the boat closer."

Upon hearing this, a mercenary tried to start the boat but got hit by a bullet as soon as he stuck his head out and screamed before dropping into the water.

Seeing this, no one dared to operate the boats anymore, causing the team to stay put and unable to escape the predicament.

"These guys, do their bullets never run out?" Gu Fan was annoyed and shouted, "Lu Yi, come protect Lin Xi!"

"What, protect Miss Lin? Didn’t you see I’m barely protecting myself?" As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, Ouyang Jin protested, "You ask Lu Yi to protect Lin Xi, so who protects me? If you don’t care about this guide’s life or death, then neither do I. I’m raising my prices."

Hearing this, those around them sighed internally at such an inappropriate time for bargaining.

Still, Lu Yi kept his shield up and moved from one boat to another, getting closer to Lin Xi.

Vampires hidden in the woods noticed Lu Yi moving. They tried to shoot him, but their marksmanship was poor, and Lu Yi’s shield, a product of an ancient Super Civilization, was extremely sturdy. Therefore, the vampires’ bullets couldn’t stop Lu Yi.

At that moment, Ouyang Jin lay flat on the boat, too scared to move, and said, "So, you really don’t care about me anymore? If something happens to me, you’ll have no guide for your future adventures."

Gu Fan laughed, "No worries, we can find another guide, preferably one with professional ethics who doesn’t randomly raise prices."

"Come on, I raise my prices based on the market," Ouyang Jin retorted, then suddenly thought of something, "You guys wouldn’t take advantage of this situation to rob me blind by not only refusing my legitimate price raise but also by unreasonably slashing prices?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi questioned, "What do you mean, your price increase is reasonable, but our price cut is ridiculous?"

At that moment, Irina couldn’t stand it anymore, "Please be serious for once. Look at the situation; if you really have any solutions, hurry up. I don’t know how you feel, but I can’t take this anymore."

"Alright, I’m going now." Gu Fan took a deep breath, ready to strike, and glanced at Ouyang Jin, who was still sprawled motionless as if playing dead.

Gu Fan said, "Don’t worry, Ouyang Jin, you’re really tough, I’ll still need your help in the future, right?"

Ouyang Jin was surprised, "What, isn’t this the last time? We actually have a future."

With a push of his feet, Gu Fan leaped up and dashed into the woods on the right bank, his hands tightly clutching wooden spikes, and rushed through the woods with great strides, boldly charging at a vampire warrior.

"What, daring to come to me on your own, brave," the vampire warrior sneered, tossed aside his gun, and then charged towards Gu Fan as well.

Neither Gu Fan nor the vampire warrior backed down, accelerating continuously along the way, competing in spirit.

"I want to see what skills you have to challenge me." The vampire warrior had sensed that Gu Fan was no ordinary opponent, but being an elite, he felt he could win.

Without responding, Gu Fan just snorted coldly and then raised the wooden spikes, aiming them straight at the vampire’s heart.

Of course, the vampire warrior wasn’t so easily impaled; he moved quickly, grabbing Gu Fan’s arm and blocking the spike from nearing his heart. However, in the instant they clashed, the vampire warrior realized Gu Fan’s strength was great, possibly even greater than his.

Gu Fan gave a light shout, using his body to knock the vampire warrior off balance and sending him tumbling to the ground.

The vampire warrior fell awkwardly and before he could recover, his head took a punch, instantly feeling dizzy and recognizing the threat.

"Goodbye!" Gu Fan didn’t hesitate, he thrust his wooden spike, piercing the vampire warrior’s heart.

Having just killed a vampire warrior, Gu Fan hadn’t had time to rest when he sensed a gust of wind beside him, knowing trouble was imminent.

Another vampire warrior charged at him. Though he was unable to save his comrade, he punched Gu Fan flying, and Gu Fan flew a long distance before finally stopping against a tree.

"That hurts!" Gu Fan, protected by Vajra Body Protection, was unharmed but in severe pain, yet now was not the time to lie down, as three vampire warriors were already surrounding him.

"This kid is no ordinary one, he just killed one of us." The three vampire warriors abandoned their underestimation, opting for the safest method of attacking Gu Fan together.

Gu Fan knew he couldn’t beat three vampire warriors alone, so he immediately got up and started to run fast, unwilling to give the vampire warriors a chance to gang up on him.

"Kid, where’s that momentum gone, why are you running!" The three vampires chased fervently, using their speed to close the distance bit by bit.

Gu Fan looked back and sneered, "You outnumber others, how shameless, why shouldn’t I run? Moreover, I’m not calling it running; this is a strategic retreat."

However, the terrain of the Dark Primitive Mountain was complex with varied elevations, and the thick ancient trees provided excellent cover, Gu Fan and the three vampire warriors began playing a game of cat and mouse.
