Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Ye Chen has vanished without a trace!

Upon hearing this news, everyone panicked!

Li Chen held up a torch and looked around.

Unfortunately, no trace of Ye Chen could be found in the area illuminated by the firelight.

"Damn it, that kid definitely ran away. He must have slipped up the rope when nobody was looking!"

"You guys, hurry up and get up there! If this kid works with Tian Cong to cut the ropes, we'll all die here!"

Li Chen reacted quickly and immediately gave the order.

As soon as he finished speaking, the henchmen immediately started climbing up the rope!

"Boss, nobody's here!"

After the group went up, they discovered that Ye Chen had not come up from the cave at all.

Not only that, Tian Cong, who was originally waiting outside, was nowhere to be seen.

Only the underlings arranged by Li Chen remained.

"Damn it, forget about them, let's get these fish in the net first!"

"This is all money, so let's all put in the effort, and we'll split the profits tomorrow after we sell it!"

Although he couldn't find Ye Chen's whereabouts, seeing that Ye Chen posed no threat, Li Chen immediately shifted his focus.

At this moment, greed had clouded his judgment.

All that remained in my heart was the allure of money.

Upon hearing this, the other underlings also revealed greedy expressions.

Under the power of money, they completely ignored Ye Chen's existence.

The group worked together to cast their nets and catch fish, quickly filling the wooden buckets they had brought!

in the dark.

Ye Chen hid on the edge of a stone pillar and, by the light of the fire, saw clearly what Li Chen and his group were doing!

"Originally, it would have been quite strenuous for just Tian Cong and me to catch fish, but with these people helping us, it's saved us a lot of trouble!"

Ye Chen pondered in his heart, and as soon as he finished speaking, his expression turned cold.

At this moment, Ye Chen had made up his mind.

This group of people has already made an enemy of me, so I might as well find a way to leave them all in the cave.

In dire straits, death is the only path.

The dead will not seek revenge, and there is no need to worry about what will happen afterward!

"Take them out one by one, control the scene first!"

Thinking it over, Ye Chen clenched his fist, and with a flash, disappeared into the darkness.

At that moment, he was like a cheetah lurking in the darkness.

He silently observes everyone, and once he makes a move, it's a fatal blow!

……

"Quickly! Get these buckets of fish up there, be careful, hurry up and get the fish back to the village, then come back with the buckets!"

Li Chen gave instructions from below the rope.

Behind them, four people worked together to lift the wooden bucket full of fish down the rope.

Just as everyone was working hard, they suddenly heard the sound of flowing water behind them.

Li Chen quickly turned around and saw a person holding a torch who had already fallen into the pool!

The other person struggled desperately, letting out a scream.

Just as Li Chen stepped forward, the torch suddenly went out!

The screams abruptly stopped, and the cave returned to silence!

The stark contrast instilled a sense of fear in the four people present.

That person is probably dead!

It must have been Ye Chen who did it!

"Damn it, you bastard, Ye Chen, you get the hell out here!"

In his rage, Li Chen unleashed a furious, impotent roar that echoed throughout the cave.

Unfortunately, there was no response whatsoever.

But just as Li Chen finished speaking, another scream came from the back of the group!

The third brother, who had previously followed Li Chen, seemed to be being pulled along by someone.

Holding a torch, he quickly retreated behind him.

"Help me..."

The third brother stretched out his hands and struggled desperately, but unfortunately, the torch in his hand went out the moment he finished speaking!

With a muffled thud, the third brother also vanished without a trace.

The two people were attacked in succession, and this unexpected turn of events completely panicked the remaining people!

"Brother Li Chen, what should we do?"

The remaining two henchmen quickly moved closer to Li Chen, and the three of them instinctively stood back to back.

The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light.

For a moment, Li Chen was also at a loss.

"Oh, right, quickly put out the torches!"

Glancing at the torch in his underling's hand, Li Chen quickly spoke up to remind him.

This thing is what gave away their location.

Once the torches are extinguished and there is no light, Ye Chen will not know where they are!

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The younger brother reacted quickly and hurriedly stomped out the torch.

At the same time, Li Chen had already drawn his hunting rifle from behind him, turned the muzzle, and aimed it at the surroundings.

He would pull the trigger at the slightest sign of trouble.

In the darkness, time seemed to pass more quickly.

Every minute and every second was like torture for the three of them!

"Brother Li Chen, without the torches, we've lost our way."

"What if Ye Chen refuses to show up no matter what? Are we just going to keep going in this stalemate with him?"

One of his men asked urgently.

In the darkness, his fear was amplified to the point of collapse!

"Shut up!"

Enraged, Li Chen roared at the underling who had spoken up.

But just as he was cursing, the henchman who was leaning against him suddenly stepped back!

Before Li Chen could react, the other person was completely swallowed by darkness!

Ye Chen has struck again!

"Brother Ye Chen, I was wrong, please, let me go!"

"I have an eighty-year-old mother at home. If anything happens to me, he won't be able to live either!"

The only person left beside Li Chen was completely panicked.

No longer caring about Li Chen's presence, he actually knelt down and begged for mercy.

Unfortunately, just as he opened his mouth, a dark shadow flew in from behind him.

This time, Li Chen saw it clearly.

A fist-sized rock struck the younger brother instantly on the back of the head.

Instantly, blood flowed out.

The little brother didn't even utter a sound before collapsing to the ground and falling into a coma!

At the same time, ten meters in front of Li Chen.

A ball of fire slowly appeared!

Ye Chen has appeared!

"Go to hell!"

In an instant, Li Chen, as if possessed, pulled the trigger toward the spot where the firelight was!

boom!

Amplified by the echo, the gunshots reverberated through the cave.

Apart from that, there was no other movement whatsoever!

Missed!

Li Chen tensed up instantly, realizing the impending outcome.

He quickly turned the gun around and prepared to load it with a steel bullet.

Most of the hunting rifles in the villagers' hands are old-fashioned disposable hunting rifles with refillable cartridges.

After a shot is fired, gunpowder and bullet must be reloaded before it can be fired again.

Li Chen's hands trembled slightly, but his movements as he loaded the gunpowder were incredibly skilled.

Unfortunately, just as he was racing against time, the answer had already been revealed.

Ye Chen's voice suddenly came from behind Li Chen, like a vengeful ghost!

"Your gun's out of bullets, now it's my turn!"

It turns out that the previous fire was just a decoy!

Ye Chen set up this trap just to make Li Chen pull the trigger!

Now, the only threat has been eliminated.

Ye Chen made a sudden move, taking advantage of the sneak attack to instantly grab Li Chen's neck from behind.

Until Li Chen rolled his eyes, feeling like he was about to suffocate.

Ye Chen then released his grip, and Li Chen collapsed to the ground, coughing a few times before begging for mercy.

"Brother Ye Chen, I was wrong, please, forgive me!"

"If you let me go, I promise I'll listen to you from now on!"

Looking down at Li Chen's disheveled state, Ye Chen merely twitched the corner of his mouth.

"You don't just know you're wrong, you know you're about to die!"

"But don't worry, I won't kill you."

"I'll leave you here to fend for yourself. If you can't find a way out, that's your own bad luck, it has nothing to do with me!"
