Moreover, the other party was very close to him, and these bullets were all fired from silenced pistols!
This time, Tianlong was shot once in the knee and once in the right arm!
At this moment, Tianlong was trying hard to dodge every bullet fired at him, even though he had already been hit by several bullets.
And in the bushes, the people from Dragon Thorn were aiming their pistols and firing in bursts, treasuring each bullet; unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t use rifles or submachine guns, as that would make too much noise!
But they overlooked one issue, no one was on guard, only concentrating on rounding up, forgetting a simple principle: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Not far away, in the dense branches of a towering tree, suddenly there appeared a figure like that of a civet cat, without any sound, almost merging with the darkness!
Suddenly, a black shimmer flashed through the darkness, hurling across dozens of meters in an instant, the trajectory even left behind trails of afterimages!
A person hidden in the bushes had just finished changing his magazine when his head was struck, making no sound as he collapsed into the bushes, passing out.
Of course, the attacker did not kill him, but merely knocked him unconscious.
Not only did Tianlong feel that the opposing firepower had decreased, but the remaining three also sensed that something was amiss.
Suddenly, something in a pile of bushes started shaking violently!
The three from Dragon Thorn held their pistols and burst into shooting, but the bullets merely hit empty, and taking advantage of this gap, Tianlong finally darted to the bushes on one side; however, due to blood loss, he soon passed out!
Suddenly, the point man made a hand signal: fingers spread apart, cup-shaped, covering the nose and mouth!
Two others got the message, understood the command of the gesture, and instantly threw two tear gas grenades!
Immediately, smoke billowed, soon to engulf the area!
Following that, the point man’s arm swung downward vertically, a fist motioning backward—natural that was the signal to retreat!
Quietly, the three slipped away, completing a neat escape!
They had no choice but to act this way, the sudden anomaly caught them off guard, leaving them clueless about the nature of the unseen enemy.
If they had recklessly charged in, they probably would have all perished right there.
Of course, they were mistaken, the adversary hadn’t been lethal, only rendering them unconscious, which resulted in the three failing to even check on their incapacitated comrades.
"What’s happening with team six?" Lin Xiangdong immediately noticed the situation here and couldn’t help but inquire.
"Report leader, an unidentified person has appeared, unclear about the number of foes and distribution of their firepower, rash action might lead us into an encirclement."
"Teams seven and the sniper team move into position immediately, along with the five teams that have finished cleaning up, with team five acting as the vanguard to scout out the situation," Lin Xiangdong ordered.
"Leader, our team has already lost two members!"
"What?" Lin Xiangdong exclaimed again, "Teams six and seven combine, act as the vanguard, with sniper team covering!"
The person who suddenly appeared in the jungle was Ye Chenfeng; he skillfully knocked people unconscious with small stones and did not harm their lives.
The reason Ye Chenfeng did this was naturally to get the code box that Tianlong was holding.
Parting the cluttered bushes, there lay the unconscious Tianlong, clutching the code box tightly in his hand.
After some effort, Ye Chenfeng retrieved the code box from Tianlong’s hand.
"Let’s see who you really are?"
Ye Chenfeng, who had already started walking, suddenly returned driven by curiosity, wanting to see who this person was.
He pulled out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it on the person’s face.
Even though there was camouflage paint, he could still more or less make out the face.
The next second, Ye Chenfeng was stunned.
Because Tianlong was someone he knew extremely well, Wang Long, the former commander of the Dragon Thorn Reconnaissance Company, not only was Ye Chenfeng’s commander but also his close brother and friend.
"How could it be you?"
Without another word, Ye Chenfeng picked up Tianlong and started to run.
Soon Ye Chenfeng arrived at a place containing eight safes, set Tianlong down, and then stopped the bleeding with a wooden needle.
"Hmm? These things will also be a burden later!"
Ye Chenfeng took two tactical combat knives and a military dagger from Wang Long, planning to throw them away later.
"Boss, the people are gone. There is no one, we’ve expanded our search radius by one kilometer. Although there were bloodstains earlier, they disappeared. Fortunately, our two team members didn’t die, they just fainted," reported one.
"Okay, come back then. As long as the items didn’t get out, our mission is successful," Lin Xiangdong said.
"Something feels off!"
In the cold, chilling night jungle, there was a hidden murderous intent within the cold wind.
Ye Chenfeng quickly took off, making a lot of noise intentionally to draw people over because if they found Wang Long and the nine safes, it would become more difficult for Ye Chenfeng to protect them.
Ye Chenfeng was very fast, and in a blink, he was already seven to eight hundred meters away from that place.
"Thinking of killing me? Is it that easy? Heh," Ye Chenfeng scoffed coldly.
By now, he had already removed his mask.
A wind rose in the jungle, and a dense fog spread out.
The next second, Ye Chenfeng’s expression suddenly changed, sensing trouble.
Because the fog was poisonous!
Ye Chenfeng, uncertain of the type of poison, quickly covered his nose.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
He slightly moved his ears, hearing a series of strange sounds.
In an instant, a deluge of arrows rained down, all short arrows with poison-tipped points.
Ye Chenfeng quickly dodged, as countless short arrows flew past.
But within the fog, there appeared multiple figures, each dressed as samurais.
"Swish swish swish..."
Another volley of short arrows came at him.
Yet, at the bottom of Ye Chenfeng’s eyes, the word "danger" was written because he discovered the inhaled poison fog blocked his meridians, preventing him from raising his True Qi, and it substantially affected his mobility. Had it not been for his prior soaking in a medicinal jar, he feared he would have collapsed by now.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chenfeng could resolve this poison, but it was impossible in this situation. He even began to feel his body weaken.
In the distance, Heimu and Ichiro Daisuke stood together.
"Ye Chenfeng is indeed formidable. Under my special poison fog, he still stands. Let them kill him," Heimu sneered, watching the battle from the sidelines.
After a row of short arrows was fired, a mass of skilled fighters followed closely behind.
Seemingly eager to earn credit, one guy rushed to the front.
"Really a tough cookie!"
Ye Chenfeng had taken two tactical combat knives and a military dagger from Wang Long and now was the time to put them to use. Ye Chenfeng now held the two tactical combat knives in his hands.
