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

"Boss Lin, let's hurry up and get started! With so many wild boars, if we kill Ye Chen, we'll be rich!"

Just as Boss Lin was making arrangements for his backup plan, the remaining hunters had already taken inventory of the scene.

"This one wild boar is worth two or three hundred yuan. Including the ones at the valley entrance, there are at least twenty. If we sell them, everyone can get several hundred yuan!"

"Shut up! People die for wealth, birds die for food—don't you understand that?"

Boss Lin frowned and reprimanded him, giving him a reminder.

"We haven't dealt with Ye Chen yet, and there's something fishy about the gun he has!"

"First, we need to find him and kill Ye Chen. Only then will the money truly be in our pockets!"

"Two of you will guard the exit."

"The rest of you, spread out and search for Ye Chen's location. If you spot him, warn everyone immediately!"

Upon receiving this instruction, the crowd dispersed.

But no one noticed that Boss Lin had taken a special precaution.

After everyone had dispersed, he crouched down and hid behind a boulder by himself.

He clearly saw the threat posed by the weapon in Ye Chen's hand, so he sent others to their deaths while saving his own!

"Hmph, how righteous of them!"

Ye Chen sneered from the cliff face.

Occupying the highest point, Ye Chen had a panoramic view of the valley.

Today, the people of Heishan Village have dispersed.

There was no one around Tian Cong and Li Yan.

With no further threats around them, it's time to make our move!

Ye Chen took a deep breath and held his breath.

Crouch down and aim at the target.

boom!

A gunshot rang out, and the hunters in Black Mountain Village all covered their ears!

Behind the boulder, Boss Lin poked his head out and looked in the direction from which the gunshots had come.

Ye Chen is there!

Damn it, we got tricked on the cliff face!

"Ouch..."

Boss Lin frowned, but then he heard a wail.

The hunter closest to him was shot in the right leg.

He clutched his wound tightly, letting out a series of screams.

"That kid did it on purpose!"

Boss Lin's face darkened, and he immediately realized Ye Chen's purpose.

He could have killed them with a single blow, just like he had when hunting those wild boars before, but instead he only aimed for their legs.

It was clearly a deliberate act to leave survivors alive and put pressure on the remaining hunters!

"Damn it, that kid's too cunning!"

"He was on the cliff face, with a drop of more than ten meters, which was impossible to climb up. He was invincible from the start."

"We're all near the canyon entrance, we can't get to the bottom of the cliff, we're just sitting ducks!"

"No, if this continues, everyone will die here!"

As the backbone of everyone in Black Mountain Village, Boss Lin is quite a figure.

He recognized reality without the slightest hesitation.

They've already started thinking about how to surrender and save everyone's lives!

"Boss Lin, aren't you supposed to be amazing?"

"Trying to harm my brother? You'll have to ask me first!"

"I can't do anything to you if you hide, but if you dare to show yourselves, I'll take your lives immediately. You're welcome to try!"

The gunshot sent shockwaves through the crowd, and everyone scrambled for cover.

But Ye Chen wasn't afraid. Instead, he slowly opened his mouth and applied pressure!

"Damn it!"

A villager from Heishan Village cursed, but soon realized there was hope for escape!

Ye Chen cares about his teammates' lives, as long as he can capture Tian Cong and Li Yan as hostages.

At least it can save your life!

Upon realizing this, the villagers immediately looked toward where the two men were. They were bound by ropes and unable to move, and were only a dozen meters away from them!

Fight!

As long as Ye Chen hides behind the two men before the gunshots ring out, he won't dare to fire!

With a hostage in hand, Ye Chen had no choice but to comply!

Thinking of this, the villager took a deep breath and rushed out!

boom……

But how could legs possibly outrun a bullet?

A gunshot rang out, and the villager fell to the ground, struck in the right leg, but not fatally!

"what!"

"Boss Lin, weren't you here to get revenge on me?"

"Didn't you swear you'd teach me a lesson? I'm right here, so come out now!"

Ye Chen sneered and spoke again to exert pressure.

This time, however, there was finally a response.

"Ye Chen, you're impressive, but I'm not one to be trifled with either."

"If you kill us, you won't escape either. Don't forget, a life for a life—you can't get away with it!"

"It's Lin, the eldest brother, who's hiding behind the boulder," he said.

Ye Chen scoffed at this.

"Boss Lin, are you out of your mind?"

"This is the middle of nowhere, what law are you talking about?"

"If I kill you, no one will know, the police won't be able to find this place, and I have no evidence. What am I afraid of?"

"Ye Chen, don't forget, I just sent one of the villagers back!" Boss Lin's voice came again.

"I sensed something was wrong as soon as I came in. I'm a very cautious person, and I always like to have a backup plan!"

"What do you think that villager left for? I told him to go back to the village and wait. If he doesn't see any of us within three days, he should immediately report it to the police and bring them to the valley!"

"You're impressive, but this place is so big. If you killed us, you must have left clues!"

"There's no law in the old forest, but it's a different story if you get caught."

"Ye Chen, why must you fight us to the death? Why not compromise and let us go?"

Damn, this guy is really cunning!

Ye Chen's heart sank, and he couldn't help but purse his lips.

Hunters who have been roaming the old forest for many years are indeed not easy to deal with!

Regardless of whether what Boss Lin said was true or not, Ye Chen dared not gamble!

If the police discover anything amiss, I'll definitely lose my life!

There are three women in the family, what will we do then?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen made up his mind instantly.

If we release Boss Lin and the people of Black Mountain Village first, as long as they harbor resentment, they will definitely seek revenge.

Next time, it won't be that simple!

"Okay, you can go now, I won't shoot!"

"I'm giving you three minutes to get out of this valley, or you'll be stuck here forever."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, but unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Boss Lin took the lead and walked out from behind the boulder.

This confident demeanor made Ye Chen even more wary!

Fine, I'll let them off this time!

……

Half an hour later, the villagers of Heishan Village, carrying the injured, had already fled out of the valley.

Ye Chen simply used the rope he was carrying to slide down into the valley.

They immediately freed Tian Cong and Li Yan from their bonds.

"Luckily, you two were quick-witted this time and knew to back down, otherwise even I couldn't have saved you!"

Seeing that the two had narrowly escaped death, Ye Chen praised them.

Tian Cong was somewhat indignant: "Ye Chen, why didn't you shoot just now?"

"I'm sure Boss Lin is lying to you; he's not that meticulous!"

Ye Chen shook his head and analyzed.

"I gave them three minutes just to bluff him. If he had been even slightly cautious when he came out, I definitely would have shot him."

"He was feeling guilty, which is why he didn't dare to gamble and insisted on letting the villagers scout ahead first."

"But he was too decisive. He blurted it out as soon as I finished speaking, clearly showing that he was quite confident."

"Now, even I wouldn't dare to fire. It's not worth dying alongside these people!"

"Brother Ye Chen, what's wrong with your brains?" Li Yan gasped and patted his head.

"Why are there so many tricks up my sleeve? How come I never thought of that?"

"Are you insulting me or praising me?" Ye Chen said, both amused and exasperated, patting Li Yan on the forehead.

Li Yan scratched his head awkwardly, and the next second, he had already emerged from the shadow of death.

Looking around, the carcasses of more than a dozen wild boars lay quietly on the ground.

"Brother Ye Chen, you're amazing! You killed over a dozen wild boars all by yourself! You're rich now!"

When the topic of his gains came up, Ye Chen finally smiled a little more.

He immediately urged them on.

"Alright, hurry up and push the cart in and load the wild boar onto it."

"I'll have to trouble you two to get back now. I need to stay hidden and prevent Boss Lin's men from launching a surprise attack."

"You guys do the work of bringing the wild boar back, then we'll go straight to town, sell it, and split the money!"
