Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 272 The Abyss Dweller

The boat had rowed for several dozen meters and was now only twenty or thirty meters away from the shore.

Suddenly, a group of burly men rushed out from the rocky shore opposite.

After glancing at them, the leader didn't waste any words and waved his hand.

The group raised their crossbows and fired at the ship.

"Damn it!" Liu Ze's pupils shrank, and without hesitation, he dropped the oar and jumped into the sea.

A dense rain of arrows covered the spot where he had just been standing.

Arrows rained down, landing on the wooden planks with a dull thud.

The two rowers at the front were shot through the air before they could even say a word.

In the back row, Pu Jia, who was hiding behind someone else's corpse, looked at the iron and wooden shield he was holding, and even his eyes became much clearer.

Arrows pierced through the iron shield and got stuck on it; if they had a little more kinetic energy, they could have pierced the shield directly.

"Damn it, thank goodness I brought a shield with me before I set off."

Pu Jia looked at the crowd on the shore and hurriedly shouted, "Boss, I surrender! I surrender! I can lead the way, I know the location of all the buildings inside! I'm useful!"

"Keep shooting." Jia Liangcai waved his hand expressionlessly.

A second volley of arrows rained down.

Pu Jia crouched on the boat, hiding behind his shield.

He groaned as an arrow struck him squarely where he was holding his shield, piercing his right hand.

Pu Jia broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that the other party was not going to give him a way out, he immediately started cursing and swearing at everything he could think of.

"Bang!!"

The shield jolted violently, as if struck by a giant hammer, and in an instant, a sharp pain shot through his chest.

Pu Jia flew backward and crashed heavily onto the boat.

He laboriously lowered his head and looked at his chest, where a large crossbow bolt was stuck. He then looked at his shield, which had been damaged and had a gaping hole in it.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

"Damn, he's got something."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

On the shore, Li Yue, who had been lying on the ground, stood up and proudly raised the Ghost Gold One-Handed Heavy Crossbow, saying, "It's quite effective in actual combat."

Zou Jianghe looked at the thing in Li Yue's hand in disbelief. The iron and wooden shield opposite him had been blasted open.
This looks like a single-soldier weapon?
He walked over to ask, but Li Yue didn't even look at him. He just held up the heavy crossbow in his hand, walked away happily, and completely ignored him.

"Mr. Jia." Zou Jianghe gave a wry smile, walked over, and wanted to greet Jia Liangcai.

Jia Liangcai glanced at him and said, "Chairman Zou, immediately have someone control the area around the island and reef, and confirm the location of the person who jumped into the sea."

Zou Jianghe was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

After Jia Liangcai and Qin Meng's men dispersed, Zhang Bo came over from behind and said, "President Zou, I just went to inform Qin Meng's men, but they seemed to have been prepared in advance and rushed out with a group of people."

"I know," Zou Jianghe said irritably. Did you need to tell me?
The fight is almost over.

"Search! Go to the surrounding reefs and confirm the person's location." Jia Liangcai waved his hand, and the team dispersed in all directions.

Zou Jianghe stared blankly at the dispersing crowd.

These people don't seem to be the main force of the Qin Alliance.

He saw that some people inside were still wearing aprons from the blacksmith's shop, and some had hammers tied around their waists.

"Go, spread out in all directions, and report any trace of that person immediately," Zou Jianghe ordered the Tongmenghui members who were arriving later.

Beside the island, behind a rock, Liu Ze hid, his body rising and falling with the tide. He clung tightly to the rock face, trying his best to keep himself steady.

He opened his nose and inhaled continuously.

His lungs were like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing oxygen from the air.

An arrow was lodged in his shoulder, just below the shoulder, and blood flowed from the wound, spreading outwards with the seawater.

He felt somewhat aggrieved.

He, a dignified superhuman, was actually forced into this situation by a group of mortals.

Even though he took the simplest route to ascend to the extraordinary realm, he believed that the two levels above were simply not meant for humans.

It is absolutely impossible for anyone to break through at the difficulty level of the second or third gear.

That's absolutely a pie in the sky that this damn homeland is dangling in their faces.

Beneath the surface of the sea, a saltwater crocodile smelled blood. It turned its head and chased after the source of the blood.

"Something's wrong." Liu Ze noticed the commotion; he heard noises coming from underwater.

At this moment, there are crocodiles in front and pursuers behind.

A hint of decisiveness flashed in his eyes.

Fight.

Liu Ze took out a starry black metal card from his pocket, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes. He crushed the card.

"Roar!"

A lion's roar came from the nearby reef.

A brown lion, covered in thick fur and nearly four meters long, appeared on the reef.

The sudden appearance of the lion not only attracted the attention of the saltwater crocodiles, but also elicited gasps of surprise from the island reef.

"There are lions there!"

"How did lions suddenly appear here?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Ze suddenly dove into the sea.

After being briefly startled by the sudden appearance of the cave lion, the saltwater crocodile continued its pursuit of Liu Ze.

In its eyes, the prey, reeking of blood, seemed more attractive.

Liu Ze cursed inwardly. He quickly gave the cave lion instructions to chase the saltwater crocodile and create an opportunity for him.

The cave lion was somewhat afraid of water. It hesitated on the rocks for a moment, then let out a low growl and leaped into the sea, splashing up a large spray of water.

With a flick of its tail, the saltwater crocodile realized that the approaching creature was quite large, forcing it to change its prey.

A lion and a crocodile were fighting in the sea, but the cave lion, which was not a good swimmer, was just easy prey for the saltwater crocodile. The crocodile bit its leg and it rolled around in the water in a frenzy, dying motion.

The commotion attracted quite a few people.

At the edge of the crowd, Jia Liangcai gazed thoughtfully at the scene below, then his gaze followed the sea surface to the other side of the reef.

He whispered something to Li Yue behind him, then led a group of people to head in the other direction.

At the edge of the island and reef, the waves are turbulent.

The waves are quite high on the eastern islands and reefs today.

But there was no one around the island.

“He’s not here.” Jia Liangcai frowned. “Could he stay submerged indefinitely? Does he possess some kind of treasure that allows him to breathe underwater?”

"Phew—luckily, my extraordinary path is that of the Abyss Dweller, which allows me to hold my breath underwater for longer than ordinary people. You ordinary people will never understand the power of the extraordinary."

Liu Ze slowly emerged from the water. He had actually gone around in circles and ended up near the beach where people go beachcombing. He took off his shirt, revealing his bare chest, and walked on the sand towards the residential area ahead.

Those people would never have imagined that he could swim so far and then walk across the mudflats.

Among the surrounding crowd, many people complained about the heat and went into the water without wearing clothes so it would be easier to get in.

Therefore, he did not seem out of place.

As long as he can enter the community, he can activate the anchor point.

Closer, closer
Liu Ze's smile grew even brighter as he climbed the rocks and arrived at the gate of the residential area.

A person next to him glanced at him, noticing his striking red hair, and seemed somewhat suspicious.

Not far away, Zhang Bo turned around, looked at Liu Ze, his pupils widened, and raised his finger.

Further away, Li Yue emerged from around the corner, looked up in surprise, and then raised the Ghost Gold Single-Handed Crossbow in his hand.

Liu Ze raised his hands together and sprinted forward, his streamlined muscles bursting with powerful explosive force.

He was like a nimble leopard; he ran wildly into the residential area.

"He's over there!" a loud shout came from behind.

"He's up here!"

"Catch him!"

Sounds came from the surroundings.

But Liu Ze couldn't stop grinning maliciously, "Hahahaha."

They let me in, they actually let me in!
"Anchor point! Activate!" Liu Ze roared almost hoarsely.

A phantom, crimson anchor appeared out of thin air, like a giant claw emerging from the deep sea.

It crashed onto an open space in the residential area.

Ripples spread out all around.

[Warning: Anchor points are attempting to lock onto the community]

At the same time, everyone in the entire community heard an urgent notification sound.

The next second, the sound slowed down.

Anchor point has been removed.

Then, in front of everyone, the crimson anchor flashed twice, like a reluctant fish turning its head back.

Liu Ze, shirtless, stood in the open space of the residential area, his expression gradually becoming blank.
