Su Jiang didn’t reply, directly turning off the walkie-talkie and tossing it to Hua Qing.
Find a tree?
Are you kidding me?
This huge island, this vast forest, you want to find one specific tree?
You might as well just go head-to-head with the Feng family right now.
An Mingjie is just being ridiculous. If anyone could find that tree, he’d immediately do a handstand and wash his hair.
Yawning, Su Jiang wanted to leave.
Since the An family doesn’t have any disadvantages, why should I stay here?
Just bored?
It would be better to go home and cuddle with my girlfriend.
“Hee hee hee…” Li Cai was still in a daze.
Su Jiang stopped, glanced at Li Cai, and sighed softly.
Forget it, I’m already here.
Taking Wangcai out of his chest, Su Jiang whispered, “Go around and check, come back and tell me immediately if you find anyone.”
“Squeak!”Got it.
Wangcai ran out.
Hua Qing was stunned in place, completely dumbfounded.
He suspected that he was hallucinating.
“B-beastmaster?”
Su Jiang raised an eyebrow: “Yes, you can understand it that way.”
Not all animals can be controlled, after all, it’s a low-level skill.
Being close to you doesn’t mean you can manipulate them.
Especially for those large, ferocious beasts with short tempers, one wrong move could instantly wipe out their good feelings towards you.
“Young Master Su, how about you take this walkie-talkie?”
Hua Qing handed over the walkie-talkie. He was afraid that An Mingjie, unable to vent his anger on Su Jiang, would turn his ire on him instead.
“Alright, but don’t call me Young Master Su, I’m not used to it.” Su Jiang took the walkie-talkie and put it in his pocket.
“Then should we call you Brother Su?”
“Tsk, you guys are so unprofessional! I’ve told you countless times, use code names during missions.”
“What’s your code name then?”
“Call me ‘Cold Noodle King’.”
“Huh?”
Hua Qing was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed. He felt like the whole vibe changed whenever he was around Su Jiang.
Su Jiang pulled out a compressed biscuit from his pocket, handed it to Hua Qing, and said seriously:
“Hua Zi, you need to remember, from this moment on, everything that happens on this island has nothing to do with Su Jiang.”
“Anything you think is ridiculous, anything that happens, it’s all the work of ‘Cold Noodle King’, not Su Jiang, understand?”
“I got it.” Hua Qing mumbled, his mouth full of biscuits.
He didn’t know why, but it didn’t really matter to him.
As long as he had biscuits to eat, that’s all that mattered. He was starving.
……
“How is it? Found anything?”
A man in camouflage, exploring the dense forest, also held a walkie-talkie in his hand.
His name was Xue Zhuang, the captain of Wei Tian’s private force, a former soldier.
Although his strength wasn’t as good as Rose’s, the fact that he was favored by Wei Tian proved that he was no slouch.
“Report, Captain, no discoveries yet.”
Xue Zhuang nodded and instructed, “Don’t be careless. Although the An family is just a small clan, if we capsize in this ditch, Young Master Wei Tian’s impression of us will definitely decline.”
“Don’t worry, Captain. With Rose here, I can’t imagine how we could lose.”
Xue Zhuang chuckled in response, not refuting.
Indeed, with that woman Rose on their side, he couldn’t see how the An family could possibly stand a chance.
Turning off the walkie-talkie, Xue Zhuang continued to search cautiously. Not far away, Wangcai, perched on a tree, took in everything that was happening.
It had to be said, Wangcai, the squirrel, was right at home back in the forest.
He moved agilely through the forest, returning to the small wooden cabin in the first instance, and relayed the situation to Su Jiang.
“Su… Cold Noodle King, what’s wrong?” Hua Qing still wasn’t used to calling him by that code name.
Su Jiang frowned slightly, “Someone is coming towards us.”
“Huh?”
Hua Qing twitched his lips, looking at Su Jiang with a strange expression.
We’ve been here for half a day and nothing happened. You come, and then something happens?
Su Jiang glanced at Li Cai. He was a little better than before, but not fully conscious yet.
Carry Li Cai and move?
It’s too late, and besides, we might run into others.
“Well, guess we have to go out and face them.”
Life’s tough, Su Jiang sighed.
Taking his gun, Su Jiang instructed Hua Qing, “Guard this idiot until I get back.”
“What if you don’t come back?”
“…… Then we’ll all die together!”
Su Jiang grumbled, “If I don’t come back, do you think the two of you can survive?”
He used to think Hua Qing was pretty intelligent, but now it seems like he was the one with narrow vision.
Su Jiang stepped out of the small wooden cabin. Wangcai told him a direction and then hopped onto a tree.
After walking a short distance, Su Jiang looked around, found a suitable tree, and agilely climbed up the trunk. He set up his sniper rifle.
The sniper rifle was Li Cai’s, he had temporarily requisitioned it.
Li Cai agreed to this, Su Jiang believed.
The classic kneeling sniper position. For an ordinary person, firing a shot from a tree trunk in this posture would inevitably make them lose their balance. Those with poor balance might even fall directly.
But Su Jiang was different. He had skills granted by the system: the three-piece set for combat.
That is, Superhuman Physique, Firearms Mastery, and Combat Mastery.
These three skills combined, even the one dubbed the “Half-Man, Half-Ghost, First Gunman”, would have to step back.
“Tsk, got you.”
Through the scope, Su Jiang spotted Xue Zhuang’s figure.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jiang didn’t hesitate, his index finger slowly pulled the trigger.
“Bang!”
Even with the silencer attached, the sound of the gunshot was still considerable.
The bullet tore through the air, aimed directly at Xue Zhuang’s forehead.
From afar, when Xue Zhuang was spotted through the scope, an ominous feeling instantly flooded his heart.
Damn! Danger!
This was the sense of crisis that he had trained for years, constantly on the battlefield.
Therefore, before Su Jiang fired, he managed to find a tree as cover in the first instance. He ducked low and rolled, narrowly dodging the bullet.
“Bang!”
Su Jiang’s bullet whizzed past Xue Zhuang’s scalp.
Looking at the bullet mark on the ground, Xue Zhuang’s heart rate instantly accelerated.
He widened his eyes, incredulously judging the direction of the shot.
From the tree!
Xue Zhuang instantly realized that the opponent was firing from a tree, and from quite a distance too.
Damn!
Who is it?
Xue Zhuang cursed under his breath. In this environment, being able to set up a sniper rifle on a tree and accurately shoot at him.
Expert!
But, where did the An family get a sniper expert?
Sniper’s are rare, and they also require talent.
Every family, pouring all their resources, could only cultivate one or two snipers at most.
And high-level snipers were even rarer, after all, to reach a certain level, talent was required.
According to intelligence, the only sniper the An family could boast was Li Cai.
But that guy was shot, it was impossible for him to maintain such a high level of sniping skill.
“Damn it, who is it?”
Xue Zhuang couldn’t figure it out. How come he just happened to run into such a tough guy?
In this situation, he dared not move at all.
One wrong move and he’s dead!
“Tsk, pretty quick reflexes.”
Seeing that the first shot missed, Su Jiang wasn’t discouraged. After all, the other guy was a captain-level figure.
If he was taken out with just one shot, then Wei Tian’s force wasn’t that impressive.
However, the next shot wouldn’t be as simple as just grazing his scalp.
Su Jiang’s expression was serious, he didn’t move a muscle as he aimed at the tree where Xue Zhuang was hiding. His index finger pressed firmly against the trigger, ready to fire at any moment.
The first shot was just a friendly greeting to Xue Zhuang, letting him know he had arrived.
The second shot would be the announcement of his departure.
Tsk, it’s a pity he wasn’t using a shotgun.
