CHAPTER 1204: CHAPTER 1204: MYSTERY OF THE ENIGMATIC MOUNTAIN FOREST

Tie Zhuzi couldn’t stand people like this the most, wanting to scare others with their status when they are incapable themselves. He kicked with all his might and sent the man flying.

The people around were shocked; this big fool seemed ready to kill someone. How did he kick that person so far with just one strike?

"I’m Wu Qilong from Wolf Fang!" After saying this, the man fainted.

"What’s that?" Tie Zhuzi frowned and looked at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan shook his head indifferently; anyone who dared slander Xiang Yu, regardless of their identity, deserved such a fate.

After Tie Zhuzi and his companion finished their meal, they returned to the hotel. They planned to investigate the mountain situation at night.

Tie Zhuzi lay in his room, about to rest, when Xiao Xuan suddenly rushed in.

"Something’s happened," Xiao Xuan said seriously.

Tie Zhuzi sat up, frowning in confusion.

Xiao Xuan didn’t speak further and then turned on the TV, which was broadcasting local news.

At that moment, there happened to be a live interview.

"I don’t know what happened. I was about to go on an adventure in the mountain when I heard gunfire inside, and it was quite dense."

"I heard it too, and there was a rumbling sound, I guess it’s a bomb. I’ve seen it on TV."

Numerous journalists were on site reporting; some were taking photos. One interviewee, in excitement, yelled, "It must be aliens causing trouble, definitely! I saw them."

That person was animated, gesturing wildly as he spoke.

Seeing the screen, Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan exchanged a glance and quickly got dressed, hurrying out to start the car and leave.

Tie Zhuzi drove with the pedal to the metal; they knew there was definitely trouble inside.

They didn’t know the exact route to the scene, but they could figure it out, with many cars heading there, including military vehicles.

After driving for over two hours, more and more people began to appear, making driving difficult.

Eventually, they parked by the roadside and ran quickly towards the front.

Many people were gathered ahead, some with cameras filming, others with phones taking selfies, posing in various ways.

"You don’t know; I saw everything right there at the scene."

"What’s going on?" A crowd gathered after hearing that someone had witnessed it, eager to learn what had transpired from his account.

Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan quickly joined in upon hearing that he knew.

Seeing himself the focus of everyone, the man raised his head boastingly, "I happened to pass by here; it was around three in the morning, and I saw a flying saucer fly over and land here."

Upon hearing this, Tie Zhuzi was so angry he nearly vomited blood. He gritted his teeth, wanting to go beat the guy up until Xiao Xuan held him back.

The crowd here was complicated, from various backgrounds, so it was best to keep a low profile.

"Everyone, stay back," someone shouted from the front.

Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan looked into the distance, seeing rows of soldiers standing there orderly.

A cordon was already set up, disallowing random entry.

"I need to get in to find Brother Yu," Tie Zhuzi turned to Xiao Xuan and said.

This matter was no small concern, and he needed Xiao Xuan’s approval. The military had already surrounded the place, but Xiang Yu was still inside.

With Xiang Yu absent, Xiao Xuan didn’t know what to do next. Previously, they simply followed Xiang Yu’s lead, but now they had to make decisions.

"Now is definitely not the time," Xiao Xuan looked inside and said.

Inside, soldiers were stationed everywhere, showing that the military took this place seriously.

"We’ll discuss it tonight," Xiao Xuan said.

For now, he would carefully study the terrain to facilitate sneaking in at night.

Though Xiang Yu had instructed them to wait here for ten days, with such a major incident occurring, it was impossible to continue waiting.

They watched the perimeter for a long time before turning to leave. By then, the number of people had increased, not decreased.

Many prominent individuals had come to see what was happening.

As they turned to leave, suddenly a loud bang came from behind.

The sound was tremendous, pushing Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan forward as if propelled by a blast wave.

The explosion left them both dazed.

"Zhuzi, are you okay?" Xiao Xuan was the first to get up and quickly supported Tie Zhuzi.

Tie Zhuzi had fallen hard, even cutting his forehead.

Both of them got up and turned to look, seeing flames surging behind them, followed by another massive explosion.

The site descended into chaos, with everyone desperately fleeing outside. The cries and screams of adults and children echoed endlessly.

With so many vehicles blocked behind, escaping quickly by car was impossible.

At this point, they abandoned their car and ran toward the distance.

Explosions continued behind; the fire spread in all directions. Some soldiers were entirely engulfed in flames.

Despite being trained personnel, they were flesh and blood. Seeing the situation, the higher-ups promptly issued a retreat order.

They used their training to break out toward different directions.

Yet some soldiers failed to escape and were consumed by fire.

"Brother, Brother Yu," Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi exclaimed as they turned to charge into the inferno.

Xiang Yu was still inside; they had to find him.

Explosions persisted inside; as they tried entering the fire, a blast threw them out.

They had lost their senses, driven solely by the urge to rescue Xiang Yu.

Both rose and charged inside again, the heat unbearable for ordinary people.

But they were fearless, choosing injury over leaving Xiang Yu behind.

Just as they were about to recklessly continue charging inside, someone suddenly grabbed their collars, pulling them back.

They lost balance, falling to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Tie Zhuzi glared angrily.

The person didn’t respond, simply dragging them away.

Xiao Xuan got up, escaping the hold, eager to rush back inside.

"Are you two crazy? Going in now will definitely roast you to death; you’d become roasted pigs!" The person shouted.

"Mind your own business!" Tie Zhuzi also shouted.

"If you die, who you’re looking for will truly be lost," the person yelled without waiting for their approval, pulling them away.

Faced with blazing flames, both hesitated momentarily and followed the person running out.

The fire raged more fiercely, seemingly pursuing them, while explosions continued behind.

Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan ran down, seeing the red in each other’s eyes, having prepared for the worst but not imagining it’d be this dire...
