Chapter 299 Where is he? Dead!

Chapter 299 Where is he? Dead!
As Li Dongshui was pushed back, Xu Ge immediately came to meet him.

He brushed past Li Dongshui, leaped around the corner, and fired a burst of bullets while still in mid-air.

Da da da da da da!

After landing, Xu Ge released the flash button, and the passage ahead was empty.

"How are you doing?"

Xu Ge then turned around and shouted to Li Dongshui, who was standing still.

Li Dongshui reached up and touched his neck, wiping away a few drops of blood. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine. That person was very powerful, but he didn't want to kill me!"

Xu Ge frowned as he watched Li Dongshui's mouth move, and shouted, "Speak louder!"

Li Dongshui walked over, grabbed Xu Ge's ear, and shouted, "I'm fine! Keep your voice down!"

"Oh, all right!"

Xu Ge shook his head. "Let's move forward first, and we'll talk again once my hearing returns."

Li Dongshui nodded, and this time it was his turn to walk in front.

The passage ahead began to narrow, and in some places, one could only move forward by bending over.

After about 300 meters, the view suddenly opened up.

The two arrived at an open space with five forks in the road leading in different directions.

Li Dongshui looked at Xu Ge without saying anything, meaning he was asking which way to go.

Xu Ge went into each cave entrance and sniffed around. He first pointed to the rightmost fork in the road and said, "That enemy just left from here."

Li Dongshui noticed that Xu Ge's voice volume had returned to normal and asked, "Are your ears better?"

"Not yet, but it's much better than at the beginning."

"Should we still give chase?"

Xu Ge then pointed to the middle fork in the road: "I can smell chili water in this one!"

"It's Thor and the others!"

Li Dongshui perked up. "So, what should we say now?"

"They shouldn't be far from here. Let's just wait here and decide what to do after we meet up!"

"it is good!"

The two rested on the spot. Xu Ge took out a cotton swab from the first-aid kit and grimaced in pain as soon as he inserted it into his ear.

"Damn! He's bleeding!"

My left ear was okay; the headset protected it, so the damage was less severe. But when the cotton swab was removed from my right ear, there was a faint trace of blood on it!
Li Dongshui shone the flashlight on the room for a while and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem, it should heal on its own."

Xu Ge felt slightly relieved, then remembered something and asked, "How were you captured by that person? Why didn't he kill you?"

“He’s very skilled; I had absolutely no chance against him in close combat!” Li Dongshui said in a deep voice.

Xu Ge was somewhat surprised: "How good are they? How do they compare to Luo Pai?"

Li Dongshui thought for a moment: "Their styles are different. This guy uses all his killing moves. I feel that if he hadn't held back, he could have slit my throat with that strange weapon in one move!"

"What strange weapon?"

"A circle, except for the grip area, the rest is all blades!"

Xu Ge was taken aback: "Wheel Blade? That person is the Heavenly Poison Man?"

"What wheel blade? How do you know he's a Celestial Poison Man?"

Li Dongshui recalled the other person's appearance, "But now that you mention it, it does seem to be true. That person was dark and thin, looking like a monkey."

Upon hearing Li Dongshui's description, Xu Ge recalled that when he first went to Qiangtang with Thor, the other party had told him that this weapon was exclusive to close-range masters of the Heavenly Poison Sect.

Why would a Poisonous Person appear here?

"By the way, did you notice where he was injured?" Xu Ge then asked.

Li Dongshui: "I noticed that his left arm looked like it had been bandaged."

Xu Ge pondered, "He might have been injured by Thor and the others! This guy's impressive, he actually managed to escape!"

Li Dongshui looked at Xu Ge: "Do you know why he didn't kill me?"

"why?"

He called you "sir"!

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"What did you say?"

Li Dongshui recounted the other party's behavior at the time, including what the other party said after Xu Ge appeared.

Xu Ge's eyes widened: "Holy crap???"

Calling me "sir"? What's going on?
According to Li Dongshui's description, that person said he would not be my enemy. Why is that?
By the way, this guy is the only one who survived after experiencing wartime mode!
So, what would it feel like to be someone who received orders from yourself in wartime mode?
Xu Ge didn't know, but he had seen what those people looked like before they died; their faces were all filled with fear and disbelief.

Could it be that the person's reaction just now was related to this?

Xu Ge then thought of something else: when he discovered that Li Dongshui had been kidnapped, he subconsciously considered activating wartime mode to rescue her.

My mind was a bit muddled at the time. Let me think... why didn't I activate it then? Hmm?

Xu Ge remembered that he had summoned the token, but the wartime mode on it was no longer activated!

What does that mean? Has the system determined that the other party is no longer an enemy?

"Ah Shui, could you please not tell anyone else about that person calling me 'Master'?" Xu Ge asked Li Dongshui.

Li Dongshui asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why? You don't even know him."

“But other people might misunderstand!” Xu Ge explained. “Think about it, if the enemy calls me ‘Sir,’ people who don’t know better might think I’m a traitor!”

Li Dongshui tilted her head and thought for a moment: "That's true. Okay, I won't say anything then..."

blah blah blah!
A series of hurried footsteps interrupted their conversation.

. . .

The footsteps came from the middle passage, and Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately drew their guns and split up to the sides.

A few seconds later, Wan Xiaofei, wearing night vision goggles, rushed out of the passageway.

After the other party came out, he was about to look at the ground, but when he saw someone lying in wait out of the corner of his eye, he immediately retreated.

"Shepherd Dog, it's us!" Li Dongshui shouted.

Holy crap! White legs! Dog baby!

Wan Xiaofei was both surprised and delighted, and ran out, asking, "What are you all doing here?"

“We’ve come here chasing an enemy,” Xu Ge stood up and asked, “Where are the others?”

"behind."

Wan Xiaofei immediately perked up, "Who are you chasing? Is it a skinny guy with a gunshot wound to his left arm?" Xu Ge immediately knew he had guessed correctly: "Looks like you've really run into this guy."

Wan Xiaofei carefully examined Xu Ge and Li Dongshui for a while and asked, "Are you two alright? You both look disheveled, like you've been hurt too?"

"also?"

Xu Ge was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Damn, didn't you guys notice? This guy walks without making a sound, just like that damn Nameless is going all out!"

Wan Xiaofei's expression was serious. "He is very strong in close combat and is particularly good at escaping. Even after Thor chased him for several hundred meters, he could only injure him and couldn't stop him!"

Xu Ge was genuinely surprised.

It takes real skill to escape from Thor's clutches.

After careful consideration, he made a more objective assessment of that person's abilities.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the truth was that if he hadn't used cheats, he and Li Dongshui would most likely have been killed in such a close encounter in this environment!
"By the way, you two, do you know which way he went when you chased after him?"

Wan Xiaofei looked down and around. "Damn, this guy has a very strong counter-tracking awareness. He left very few traces along the way. I don't know how he did it."

Xu Ge: "He walks on his tiptoes, which not only makes no sound, but also makes his footprints very difficult to spot!"

Wan Xiaofei was utterly astonished: "Holy crap! Is that even possible?"

Li Dongshui pointed to the rightmost passage: "Goubao said he left from this side."

"Really? How did you know, Dog Baby?"

"I remembered his scent."

"That's right, how could I forget you have that ability!" Wan Xiaofei exclaimed with delight, waving his hand. "Come on, let's go after them!"

Xu Ge asked, "Aren't we waiting for the others?"

"No need, just mark them!"

Wan Xiaofei took out his dagger and slashed the ground a few times before entering the rightmost passage.

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately followed.

After walking a while longer in the passage, Xu Ge stopped and said, "This seems to be the way out!"

"you sure?"

"Yes, because the further you go, the fresher the air and the more oxygen you get!"

Wan Xiaofei took out a compass, spun around in place, and then looked somewhat surprised: "If we keep walking in this direction, we'll reach the north!"

Xu Ge recalled the map Wu Xiaoyong had drawn earlier and immediately understood Wan Xiaofei's meaning.

These caves are located in a terraced mountain range that runs east-west, dividing the entire Gobi Desert into northern and southern halves.

They came in from the south.

Li Dongshui also realized what was going on: "You mean we can go out and shake off our pursuers?"

Wan Xiaofei shook his head: "It's not that simple. You forgot that these pursuers are more familiar with the terrain. They outnumber us, and they might even send people to guard both the north and south. We'll have to break through sooner or later."

Xu Ge: "But at least we know the general layout of this cave and the way out, so we won't be stuck here like headless flies."

"Yes! That's good news, but the assassin should have already escaped." Wan Xiaofei looked at Xu Ge and the other man. "Should we still give chase?"

Xu Ge thought for a moment: "Let's keep chasing them. Even if we don't catch up, it's good to go out and scout the situation."

"it is good!"

The three continued on their way, and the bends in the passage began to decrease, while the space became larger.

After walking for another ten minutes or so, we saw light ahead.

The three men removed their night vision goggles and, each armed with a gun, crept toward the cave entrance.

Oh oh oh!
The wind howled, and a large amount of fresh air rushed in.

Xu Ge was the first to arrive at the cave entrance, but he retreated in a flash.

"Grass!"

"what happened?"

Wan Xiaofei and Li Dongshui immediately tensed up.

"This cave is on a cliff, and there's a rope at the entrance. That guy is guarding it from below!" Xu Ge's face was grim.

"Awoo-ru-ru-ru!"

Strange screams came from below.

"Holy crap? Does this guy have that kind of guts?" Wan Xiaofei picked up his AUG and went over. "Damn it, he ran away and isn't leaving? Is he just provoking us?"

Da da da!
After several gunshots, Wan Xiaofei retreated again.

"Damn, that guy hid really fast! He's guarding down there now, we can't get out either!"

"Awoo-ru-ru-ru!"

The cries continued.

Xu Ge's heart stirred slightly. He felt that the other party's shout was not a provocation, but rather a call for something.

Is this guy calling for reinforcements?

Thinking of this, Xu Ge stopped Li Dongshui, who was about to carry the AWM out, and said, "Don't fire any shots, it might attract the enemy!"

Wan Xiaofei nodded: "That makes sense. Did anyone bring binoculars? Let's check the surrounding area first, just don't show yourselves. He can't hit us from down there."

Xu Ge took out a pair of binoculars and handed them over. Wan Xiaofei immediately climbed to the vicinity of the cave entrance and began to observe.

"We haven't spotted any pursuers yet. It's the same outside as the south, just rocky mountains and Gobi Desert!"

"Let's wait for Thor and the others to arrive before we talk about it."

"it is good!"

The three sat down at the cave entrance to rest, while strange cries continued to come from below from time to time.

"Does this person have any companions?" Xu Ge asked Wan Xiaofei.

Wan Xiaofei shook his head: "No, Thor said this person isn't from SSG either, I don't know where he came from."

Less than 20 minutes later, a large number of footsteps sounded in the passage behind, and Thor and his group appeared.

"Where's Galan?"

Where's Xiao Zhang?

After they saw each other, Lao Li and Xu Ge spoke almost simultaneously.

Thor and Li Dongshui replied simultaneously, "Dead!"
