My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

A look of madness, driven to the brink of despair, appeared on Ah Jiu's pale face.

He gripped the three jet-black melon grenades tightly, his fingers trembling slightly from the force.

On the other side, the main battlefield.

The blood from Huang Baoya's neck was still gushing out, steaming hot, while the black dog named Qingwei disappeared like a drop of ink into the night, vanishing instantly into the shadows of the overgrown weeds, leaving no trace.

Lei Dong showed no sign of panic despite the tragic deaths of his men.

His gaze darkened, becoming like a deep, frozen pool.

He adjusted his position, holding the semi-conscious Li Erniu even tighter against his chest; the battered body became a perfect human shield.

The gun barrel remained motionless, blocking all possible angles from which someone might hide.

This is a ruthless and cunning outlaw.

"Hold your pee back, you son of a bitch!"

Without turning his head, Lei Dong forced out a chilling, iron-like curse through gritted teeth:

"We brothers have traveled all over the country, and every time we've survived, we've been through gunfire and piles of corpses. Aren't we ashamed of ourselves now?!"

The stern shout was like a resounding slap across Ajiu's face.

Ajiu shuddered violently, the panic that was about to engulf him was forcibly suppressed.

He wiped the cold sweat and blood from his face, a hint of ruthlessness and resentment flashing in his single eye after being humiliated.

My mind started working at lightning speed again.

He glanced at Lei Dong's steady back, and the madness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a sinister calculation.

He gave Lei Dong a concealed tactical hand signal.

Lei Dong caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Ah Jiu crouched low, using a rock about half a person's height as cover, and slithered like a snake towards the circular rock formation on the side.

He pulled out three high-explosive grenades and skillfully began setting up a deadly chain of tripwires.

The thread, as thin as cow's hair, was connected at one end to the pin of a grenade, and at the other end cleverly fixed to the roots of several seemingly inconspicuous shrubs.

After doing all this, Ah Jiu took out a small, broken piece of reflective lens from his pocket.

He carefully climbed up a crooked pine tree and used tree sap to fix the lens to a tricky branch.

Sunlight pierced through the thick fog, and the occasional sliver of light was captured by the lens, casting a flickering spot of light in the darkness.

The light spot resembles the unintentional reflection from a sniper's scope, hidden in the shadows.

This is both bait and a trap.

Lei Dong lowered his voice, his tone like sandpaper scraping against stone: "Watch your back, that kid's smarter than a wolf."

Ah Jiu lay prone behind the rock, a confident sneer on his face, and replied in a coded voice, "Don't worry, he's just a mountain runner. He got lucky the last few times, but this time even a god would be in for a world of hurt!"

He concluded that as long as the hidden hunter saw the reflection in the lens, whether he fired a shot to test the waters or tried to approach, he would inevitably trigger the chain of mines he had laid.

Even if the explosion doesn't kill them, it will force them out of their hiding place and expose them to Lei Dong's gunfire.

This was a perfect strangulation.

……

On the other side of the valley, on a shady slope.

Lu Qingshan lay among the withered leaves and soil like a lifeless stone.

He saw all of Ah Jiu's arrangements.

The reflection dancing in the woods seemed ridiculously rigid to a master mountain runner like him.

A true hunter's gaze is never fixed like that.

He did not raise his gun.

Shooting is the most foolish choice when dealing with such a cleverly designed trap.

Lu Qingshan silently untied a high-tenacity rubber band from his waist, which had been worn smooth and shiny.

He then picked up a piece of hardwood, about the thickness of a wrist, naturally forked in the shape of a Y.

He tightly tied the two ends of the rubber band to the two ends of the Y-shaped wood.

A simple yet incredibly powerful slingshot quickly took shape in his hands.

He picked up a piece of dried-out birch wood from the ground, tore a strip of cloth from his tattered clothes, and tightly wrapped it around one end of the wood.

Ready.

Lu Qingshan wedged the piece of dead wood wrapped in rag onto the rubber band, slowly tensing his arm muscles as he pulled the slingshot to a full moon.

His eyes were not on Ajiu, nor on Lei Dong.

He aimed at a tree canopy with the densest branches and leaves, about ten meters to the side of Ajiu.

With a gentle touch of the fingertip.

"call out--!"

The dead tree, with a piercing shriek that tore through the air, shot out like an arrow released from a bow!

"Snapped!"

The dead tree fell precisely into the dense canopy, and the rag wrapped around it rubbed and scraped violently against the dense branches and leaves.

"Splash—!"

The sound of the tree canopy shaking violently and the branches breaking suddenly rang out in the silent valley!

The commotion looked exactly like someone frantically trying to move at high speed, using the bushes as cover!

"Over there!"

Ah Jiu's nerves, which had been stretched to their limit, were instantly ignited!

He didn't have time to think; he instinctively assumed it was that ghostly hunter trying to launch a surprise attack from his blind spot!

"Die, you son of a bitch!!"

Ah Jiu let out a mournful roar and yanked her arm out!

He brazenly pulled the main detonation tripwire that connected the three grenades!

"boom--!!!"

"BOOM!!!"

Three melon grenades exploded in a violent chain reaction within a fraction of a second!

Terrifying flames shot into the sky, and the violent shockwave, like an invisible giant hand, instantly tore the tree canopy and half of the rock wall to shreds!

The shockwave from the explosion spread wildly in all directions!

The shattered rocks and scorching metal fragments created a reverse storm, sweeping towards the location of the instigator, Ajiu!

"No--!"

The sinister smile on Ah Jiu's face instantly froze into extreme terror.

He watched helplessly as the storm of death engulfed him, his entire body thrown away by an irresistible force, tumbling like a tattered sack and crashing into a nearby mud pit.

The air was thick with the smoke of gunpowder.

From the treetops that had been blasted bare, only a piece of charred...rotten wood slowly fell down.

"puff--"

Ah Jiu felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with mud and water. He looked at the rotten piece of wood and realized with horror that he had been made a fool of.

He personally detonated his most prized killing scheme, destroying his most fortified bunker.

He himself blasted open the defensive line between the two bandits with a single shot!

The aftershocks of the explosion have not yet subsided.

Amidst the billowing dust, Lei Dong shouted Ajiu's name sharply, trying to get him to regroup.

At the same time, he held a submachine gun in one hand and fired short, precise bursts of fire towards the edge of the smoke-filled area.

"Da! Da da!"

The gunshot was steady and cold.

However, Lu Qingshan had already taken advantage of the explosion and the cover of smoke and dust, and like a stalking cheetah, silently changed to the next ambush position.

The hunt continues.

The smoke, mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur, lingered in the damp, cold forest for a long time.

The charred soil and gravel were still rustling as they rolled down the mountainside.

Lei Dong pressed his back firmly against the millstone-sized reclining ox rock, his chest heaving violently like a bellows.

"Cough cough...fuck him!"

His thick arms were like iron clamps, tightly gripping Li Erniu's neck.

Li Erniu's face turned a deep liver color from being strangled, and blood foam gushed out as his chest heaved. He let out intermittent, heavy breaths, but he didn't utter a single sound.

Ah Jiu crawled out of the muddy puddle, using both his hands and feet.

Half of his body was mangled and bloodied by the shockwave from the grenade. His already effeminate face was now deathly pale, and his single eye was filled with spiderweb-like blood vessels.

He limped along on one leg, scrambling and crawling behind Lei Dong, his voice trembling:

"Lei...Brother Lei! This business is off! That's not human, it's a man-eating demon!"

"Shut your stinking mouth!"

Lei Dong's forehead veins bulged as he slammed the butt of his rifle into Li Erniu's back with a dull thud. "A mud rat burrowing in the woods scared you so much you wet your pants?!"

"Brother Lei! I'm not joking!"

Ah Jiu was so anxious her eyes were almost bursting, and spittle was flying everywhere:

"Chen Pi's legs are smashed to pieces, and Huang Baoya's neck was bitten off by a dog! We didn't even see where he was! Now I'm out of grenades, and all we have left are these two broken guns. How are we supposed to fight him?!"

Ajiu grabbed Lei Dong's sleeve, her voice filled with a desperate plea:

"Take my advice, brother. Let's use these peasants as cover and retreat step by step into the depths of the forest! The deep mountains and forests are vast; once we're inside, he definitely won't dare to pursue us too far! As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild, Brother Lei!"

"Retreat? Where to retreat to?!"

Lei Dong suddenly turned his head, his triangular eyes, filled with fierce light, glaring at A Jiu, spitting all over A Jiu's face:

"Are you fucking brainless?! This forest is his backyard! Do you think we can outrun his hunting rifle or those two beasts he keeps?! If we move an inch, exposing our backs to him, we're just sending ourselves to the guillotine!"

Lei Dong gripped the submachine gun tightly in his hand, his finger nervously rubbing the trigger:

"The only way out is to force this little bastard out! Right here in this open space, I'll use this rapid-fire weapon to turn him into a bloody pulp with a single burst!"
