At this moment, Qi Shu was slowly moving forward within a patch of grass. His sharp gaze swept across his surroundings, not letting go of any details.
Along the way, he saw many weak lights behind him. It seemed like everything that had happened earlier had caused many people to search for him.
Qi Shu did not care about these people at all. He turned around and headed to another place. How could there be anyone who knew more about this place than him?
Qi Shu knew of a place where there was a cable car that could enter Yangcheng mountain range. However, due to certain reasons, its development had come to a pause, leaving only a cable car that led to the outskirts of Yangcheng Mountain Range.
He only needed to use the lock that he had prepared in his backpack to easily enter Yangcheng Mountain Range. These outsiders might not know about this place.
Qi Shu immediately headed towards that place. It was nighttime now, and the felt like attacking others just like a ferocious tiger. Those who were capable of sensing their night environment were at an absolute advantage.
Qi Shu quickly arrived at the intersection. There was not a single sound. Only the cries of small creatures could be heard. It seemed very safe, and there was no one there.
Qi Shu did not believe that this place was safe. As the old saying went, the safer a place was, the more dangerous it was whereas the more dangerous an area seemed, the safer it was.
Qi Shu looked around and saw a few tall pine trees nearby. The field of view there was higher and wider. It was definitely a very suitable place for them to observe the surroundings, but he had to find up if there were other people hidden among them.
Qi Shu then lowered his body and advanced in a standard crawling posture. He crawled owards the tree without making a single sound. Soon after, he arrived near a few trees.
He listened carefully to his surroundings, but he did not hear any sound. There was only the sound of his own steady breathing. He had to maintain his calm, or else a chain reaction would occur.
Qi Shu quickly climbed up. It was definitely comfortable to observe the surroundings from a high vantage point. After observing his surroundings for a long time, he only found three suspicious areas and nothing else.
However, the hiding methods of this group of people were indeed much stronger than the group that he had encountered earlier. Furthermore, their eyes were still human, so they could not be too powerful even if they looked like tigers. He could tell that there was someone hiding in the dark corner.
Qi Shu looked at the pine cones on the tree and smiled. He picked one of them and threw it towards the direction that he had come from. A few strange sounds immediately rang out from that area. The sound was exceptionally ear-shattering in the quiet night.
The moment Qi Shu threw out the pine cones, he quickly ran under the tree and lay within the grass in the distance.
Qi Shu had just hidden properly when a strong flashlight shone on the spot where he had thrown the pine cones. A few shadows that darted out from the darkness followed behind. Their intentions were clear.
The few of them quickly began to search the place thoroughly without missing a single detail. However, they did not find even a single strand of hair after searching for a while. The person who was walking behind cursed.
“D*mn it! It must’ve been caused by some small animal. Why are you being so alarmed?”
“Do you think that I want to do this? Three of our best men died at this man’s hands. If a few more men die in his hands, there would be more casualties than the last time we went against the military. When the boss comes over, none of us will have a good time.”
“Tsk!”
The man pouted and stopped arguing. He then continued to search the area.
Qi Shu counted carefully. There were a total of five people, and it was not easy to fight them. Anyways, he already had somewhere to go to, so he took advantage of the commotion that they had created to evade them and head in the direction that he wanted to go.
Qi Shu started to move. He hid in the low grass and passed through the place where they had been hiding.
However, just as he was about to cross over, a strange gurgling sound rang out from above him.
Qi Shu tilted his head and looked up. He saw an owl looking at him with a tilted head. When the group of people heard the sound, they immediately stopped and rushed over.
“He has been exposed!”
Qi Shu knew that he had been exposed. He had discovered the owl, but he did not expect the owl to be their spy.
Qi Shu immediately stood up and ran into the distance with large strides. His muscles and bones were strong, and his stamina was abundant. His explosive power was astounding as well Even without training, his running speed was several times faster than that of professional athletes before the revival of magical energy in the world.
He looked like a leopard in the forest. He ran two to three meters away with each step that he took. The people behind him were too far away. They could not stop him anymore.
When Qi Shu arrived at a certain location, a black shadow broke out from the ground. He was faced with two sharp attacks at once. The attacks were aimed at his weak spots, namely his throat and abdomen.
Qi Shu did not dodge. He clenched his hands into fists and directly collided with the attack.
Although both their bodies were made of blood and flesh, the collision between them produced a sound that resembled the clanging of a steel pillar. It resonated far into the night for a long time!
Qi Shu looked at his fist. There were three blood marks on it. This person’s claws were very powerful. This sneak attack had put him at a disadvantage.
The man laughed and said, “What a young hero. If it weren’t for my baby, you would have managed to escape!”
There was a middle-aged man in front of Qi Shu. This man’s appearance was not impressive. At this moment, he was not wearing a combat uniform like the others. Instead, he was dressed in coarse clothes. His ordinary clothes could not conceal the cold and fierce aura that he gave off.
The man raised his hand, and the owl flew into his hand. He took out a piece of meat from his pocket and fed it to the owl. It looked like the owl was his pet.
Right then, Qi Shu frowned when he saw the person’s hand. The back of his hand was densely covered with meridians. Each of them bulged and protruded from his skin. The meridians were black and green in color. It looked extremely frightening.
The person raised his hand, and the owl flew far away. Its sharp eyes looked over at him. It made him feel like he was being targeted by a hungry lone wolf in the wilderness. It was extremely sinister and vicious!
Qi Shu could sense that he had met one of the most powerful people out there. However, that did not mean he was afraid.
Qi Shu’s gaze was extremely frigid. He looked at the person in front of him like a tiger that was examining its prey. Right then, their gazes met. The flash of light from a blade flickered between them.
As the saying went, you should first hit someone in their guts when you decide to hit them. Putting aside the type of skills and power that they had, one would not even be able to use half of their abilities as long as they had lesser courage than their opponent.
