Stunning Dragon Wife
Chapter 985 - 984: Sneak Attack
Seeing Luo Ji and Feng Qing enter, Jiang Qin became anxious too.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, what are we still waiting for? Let's go in quickly, or everything will be taken by them."
Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.
"You're almost becoming a family with Feng Qing, why act like an outsider?"
"You."
Jiang Qin's pretty face flushed immediately, and she blamed Zhang Xiaoshan, saying,
"You're so improper, joking at a time like this. Uncle Yang, let's go."
Jiang Qin led Yang Hai into the cave.
The bodyguards behind them were also unwilling to lag behind. They didn't dare to aim for the top-tier millennium Spiritual Medicine, but they expected there would be other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures nearby. At the very least, there might be some hundred-year ginseng or Lingzhi, and perhaps they could get a share.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, let's also go in quickly, lest we wake up early only to miss the market later."
The old hyena urged.
Zhang Xiaoshan laughed and asked the old hyena in return.
"You're so eager to let me in, could it be that you've set a trap inside and are waiting to kill me once I enter?"
The old hyena was startled, his heart skipped a beat, but then he thought again. Zhang Xiaoshan shouldn't know his secret; he must be bluffing.
"Hehehe."
He laughed awkwardly and replied perfunctorily.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, you must be joking. Your Divine Skills are vast, and you're incredibly powerful. Even if you lend me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare have any ill thoughts towards you. I just want to help you get that millennium Spiritual Medicine sooner. After all, treasures should match heroes, and it's better for the millennium Spiritual Medicine to fall into your hands than Feng Qing's, right?"
"Ha."
Zhang Xiaoshan glanced at the old hyena, then followed along too, moving cautiously and observing his surroundings from the back of the group.
Inside the Grotto Heaven, there was a man-made stone path.
Because it was ancient, the stone slabs were full of lines representing the passage of time, covered with moss.
On either side of the stone path were vines as thick as an arm, and among the gaps of the vines, the forms of some venomous snakes were faintly visible. The warm and humid environment here was suitable for snakes to overwinter.
Zhang Xiaoshan swept with his Divine Thought and was startled to find thousands of venomous snakes hidden beneath the vines.
Everyone moved forward, greeted by the astonishing scenery around them, and some even took out their phones to capture photos.
The scenery here could indeed rival some top-tier tourist spots.
Amidst everyone lowering their guard.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Suddenly, sharp arrows shot out from behind the vines.
The arrows were dense like a downpour, and what was worse, they were poisoned.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
"Ah, ah, ah..."
In the first wave, more than a dozen people were hit and fell to the ground, convulsing all over. Their faces turned black in an instant, and in just a few seconds, they stopped breathing, dying without even a chance to be saved.
"Watch out, take cover, fight back..."
As skilled bodyguards, they quickly responded to the ambush, each taking cover behind large rocks and starting to counterattack.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
They had come well-prepared for the mountains, even bringing shotguns.
With the pull of the trigger, the barrage of bullets was several times denser than the arrows.
Bullets met arrows in mid-air, knocking down countless arrows.
Screams echoed from behind the vines.
"Ow, ow, ow, ah, ah, ah..."
Clearly, modern weaponry held an absolute advantage, and under the attack of the shotguns, the arrows completely faltered.
"Captain, it's not working, too many of our people have died."
"In just a few minutes, more than thirty of our tomb-guarding team died, almost half."
"If we keep fighting, our tomb-guarding team will be wiped out."
Some men dressed in animal skins gathered around the old man with the longbow, whom they had met with the old hyena the previous night, looking terrified.
The old man with the longbow looked at his clan members' corpses on the ground, beating his chest with anger.
"That bastard second brother, I clearly told him to drug these outsiders, why are these people still so lively?"
"That bastard, I shouldn't have trusted him, I should have killed him last night."
"Captain, it's no use saying that now. Think about what to do next?"
The clan members looked panicked.
The old man with the longbow said.
"Their weapons are too powerful, we're no match for them. Staying here will only mean death, let's retreat and let the Clan Leader handle this personally."
Upon hearing this, the surviving clan members swiftly retreated, carrying the bodies of the fallen.
"Why's there no more movement?"
"Did they leave?"
Those on the blue stone road outside were puzzled by the lack of attacks, looking at each other in confusion.
"Guardian Luo, what kind of trick are those ambushers playing, what should we do?"
Feng Qing asked Luo Ji warily.
Luo Ji thought for a moment, and a sinister plan began to form in his mind.
"Master Yang, both you and I are in the Late Stage of Qi Transformation. Unless there's an expert in the same stage, we should be safe. How about we both go and check behind those vines?"
Yang Hai didn't think much and nodded directly.
The two of them immediately went behind the vines.
"Where's everyone?"
"There's fresh blood, did they escape?"
Behind the vine thicket, Yang Hai bent down to examine the blood trail on the ground.
"Prepare to die."
Luo Ji seized the opportunity and struck a vicious palm towards Yang Hai's back.
