Chapters 135 and 136: Ambush!!
While staring at the screen, Xiao Hong, Li Wen and others have also begun to tidy up their combat equipment in an orderly manner. This time, Xiao Hong plans to use the hunting bow, rose war pattern, Mo Nai and hidden magic pattern.
As for the Thunderbolt, Xiao Hong didn't plan to use it this time. In the battle with Electric Light Stone, even if he accidentally got injured, there was no time to heal. According to their pre-set plan, from the start of the fight to defeating the opponent, they had to control it within three minutes. The remaining two minutes were for taking things and then cleaning up the scene.
Almost every detail, Xiao Hong has division of labor.
After staying in the taxi for more than an hour, until 12:30 midnight, the streets had completely quieted down, and the lights of the surrounding residential areas had also been extinguished, a vast expanse of darkness.
Xiao Hong had previously calculated that if the hoarse-voiced man, Qian Le, left Fulong Warehouse at 12 o'clock, it would take him at least half an hour to get here. If he left from Ningliang Street, it would take him at least forty minutes.
It is clear that between 3:00 and 4:00, it is the easiest time for Qian Le and others to pass through. Similarly, after midnight, the personnel of the Guard Bureau and Mo Xuan's army will also be very weak in their patrol of the entire Tai Wu City, as most of the troops will enter the Xi Jin District to keep watch, after all, Mo Xuan's military strength is limited.
Suddenly, two minutes later, while everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen, a silver-gray tattooed car suddenly came from the direction of Fulong Warehouse and drove into Tongjiang Street at an incredible speed.
However, at this time, the camera captured a still image of Xiao Hong through the car window, and it was clear that the driver of the speeding car was Shao Feng.
Looking at the warning signs again, there is still no reflection, apparently there are no people of the driver level in the car.
This discovery also caught the attention of Xiao Hong and Li Wen.
"Action!" Without hesitation, Xiao Hong immediately gave the order and was the first to rush out of the magic car and directly onto a stone wall. In the corner of the stone wall, there stood a statue that was over one person tall. Xiao Hong stuck himself tightly to the statue, on this dark night, and under the dim light of the magic road lamps, it was basically impossible to distinguish the different parts of the statue.
Activated the hunting bow's right, had already locked onto Qian Le and others' direction of attack. Relying solely on visual estimation, from a distance, it was only two streaks of magical car lights that were visible, appearing blurry. However, through the reconnaissance screen, after magnification, the gray magical car appeared crystal clear, even allowing for a clear view through the windshield of Shao Feng, Jia Qi, and Qian Le's three people, their faces stern, eyes fixed intently on the surroundings.
At the same time, Li Wen and others have also moved out one after another, taking advantage of the gray magic car not having arrived yet, they all hid in the "garbage cans" prepared by Xiao Hong in advance. Behind them, the battle formations had already been activated, ready to engage in combat at any moment.
In the car, Jia Qi and others had no idea that their extremely secretive conversation had been recorded by Xiao Hong and deciphered.
At this moment, they were on high alert, observing their surroundings not because they were worried about being ambushed, but because they were concerned about the night patrol of the Security Department or the Berro army of Mo Xuan.
Although the security guards and Mo Xuan did not know their true identities, the things in the trunk of the car were unspeakable, and just the Dusa grass alone would make them unable to swallow their saliva.
So what they are looking at is not the edges and corners, but rather eye-catching things like police lights.
"In fact, we don't have to be so tense. In my opinion, there aren't many top-notch students in Wu City. Xijin Academy, which is known as a prestigious school, is just a group of mediocre students in my eyes. Only Miao Chen seems to be somewhat decent. Especially this year's batch, almost half of them are rich kids. A school like that will eventually decline."
"The branch school is not much better, I remember the other day, a senior student accidentally bumped into me and ended up flying himself, his strength was so weak that he was completely crushed." Jia Qi responded with a slightly disdainful tone.
Sitting in the back seat, Qian Le's expression was alert and when he heard this, his face slightly moved and a hint of vigilance flashed across his face.
"Jia Qi, why didn't you say this earlier?" Qian Le suddenly spoke up, his tone still full of vigilance.
"Is it necessary to report such a small matter?" Jia Qi asked in confusion.
But just as Jia Qi's words had barely left his lips, their speeding gray magic pattern car had already entered the range of Xiao Hong's set strike.
Looking again at Xiao Hong, who was tightly attached to the statue, he had already locked onto the hood of the gray magic pattern car long ago, and the black-green energy ball on his index finger had also taken shape.
As the gray magic car entered the best ambush location, Xiao Hong's finger moved slightly, and a feather-shaped energy arrow was shot out, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, very accurately hitting the engine cover of the gray magic car, forming a hole with a diameter of at least thirty centimeters.
The car lost power, the protective device activated the brake, and after a few quick rotations, it came to a stop. In the vehicle, Qian Le's expression was already filled with vigilance and suspicion. He had thought about how to deal with military checks and police searches, but he hadn't expected an ambush!
What kind of person is he?
Qian Le's mind was filled with doubts, and he suddenly got out of the gray magic car and quickly activated his own battle mark. Jia Qi and Shao Feng also followed closely behind, protecting the trunk.
"What's going on? Come out!" Qian Le said with a hint of tension, trying his best to calm himself down.
"So tense? There should be good stuff in the car, since you've seen it, how about we split it half and half?" Xiao Hong said in a low voice, then jumped down from the statue and came directly to the middle of the road.
At the same time, Li Wen and others either held weapons or drove war chariots, and they also came out from the four directions of Qian Le and others, presenting a siege and kill situation.
When they met, the words "split in half" seemed familiar to Qian Le. Looking at Xiao Hong's clothes again, his spirit suddenly moved, and he remembered those stupid birds in the Dark Fusion Cave!
With this idea, Qian Le's tense nerves relaxed slightly, because he had seen the strength of these few people before, and if he went all out to fight, he might not lose!
Bang bang, stick...
Just as Qian Le had such an idea, a string of silenced gunshots suddenly rang out! Looking at Li Wen's just-made magic thread pistol, it suddenly shot out a dozen or so crimson magic thread bullets, which seemed to have some connection between each other, encircling and swirling around each other in a whirlwind-like shape, rushing straight towards Shao Feng who was preparing to counterattack.
In an instant, Shao Feng was beaten into a sieve, without any room for resistance, and fell directly to the ground. The driving magic pattern also returned to its original state and fell to the ground.
This was also Xiao Hong's previous order, kill him directly, don't have too much nonsense.
Qian Le, not far from Shao Feng, saw this scene and his expression changed greatly. The previous shot was clearly a rotating shift strike, using the same rotating magic bullet that only a driver-level player could drive!
This means that the several people who were previously identified as stupid birds by him have transformed into eagles to take revenge on him!
Then he fixed his gaze on Xiao Hong, and saw that Xiao Hong had already torn off his own mask.
"It's you!" Jia Qi naturally recognized Xiao Hong, that silly "senior". For a moment, his face changed color, and he understood everything.
"Don't misunderstand, I just want you to make a clear ghost." As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Hong and Hong Feng had already started, pouncing on Qian Le.
Just as Xiao Hong rushed in front of Jia Qi, a blood-red rose petal had already swept past his neck, silently cutting off Jia Qi's artery. A stream of fresh blood sprayed out and then fell to the ground with a thud.
On the other side, Qian Le didn't fare any better. He was only a tenth-level Warlock, facing off against two tenth-level Warlocks and a first-level Warlord, Hong Feng. The difference in strength wasn't even a hair's breadth, but after just two rounds, Hong Feng's heavy warhammer came crashing down on Qian Le's shoulder and neck, causing his shoulder to collapse instantly and his neck to twist and deform. He died shortly thereafter.
The whole process took only a little over two minutes, with almost no pause. At the same time as taking down three people, Ye Jiazheng had already turned around and quickly went to the street side to tidy up the trash can, replacing the original trash can without changing it, and throwing away the ones they used for disguise into Qian Le's magic car.
Li Wen also divided the labor, inserting the magic pistol into his waist, and with both hands inserted into the two slightly larger pouches at his waist, he slapped the high-temperature explosive magic patterns one by one onto the gray magic car.
Yan Nan was in charge of sorting out the corpses, and according to Xiao Hong's previous instructions, quickly rummaged through all the corpses, putting everything on their bodies into paper bags.
Hong Feng then came to the trunk, a heavy fist smashed the lock head into shape after, and forcibly opened the trunk, inside which was placed an exquisite wooden box.
Xiao Hong, who was also in the trunk, naturally noticed the exquisite wooden box and slightly opened it to find that it was filled with extremely valuable items.
No time to check, Xiao Hong gestured for Hong Feng to carry it into his own magic car, and Hong Feng did so, carrying the exquisite wooden box towards the alley. At the same time, the entire scene was almost cleared up.
As Li Wen threw the last few high-temperature burst magic patterns into the gray magic pattern car and closed the door, the entire scene was thoroughly cleaned up. He didn't stop for a moment, frantically rushing towards his own magic pattern car and disappearing into the streets in just over four minutes.
Yè Jiāzhèng, the last one to finish, boarded the magic car, and Xiāo Hóng, who had already completed the magic car's turn, drove it swiftly into the dark alley, like a nimble and quiet lynx.
Chapter 136: Xiao Hong's Discovery!!
In just a few seconds, as Xiao Hong's magic car had just rushed out of the alley, Li Wen took out the remote-controlled magic detonator.
Without a single pause, Li Wen's expression didn't change as he remotely detonated the three explosive magic patterns. He then used his driving force to control the high-temperature explosive patterns that were previously placed on the gray magic pattern car, causing them all to explode simultaneously.
Boom!
In an instant, a loud roar suddenly came, and looking across the residential area, after a violent sound, a "fire dragon" shot straight into the sky. This high-temperature explosion rune didn't have much destructive power, its only effect was to melt the magic car into a pool of iron water. As for the corpse, it's not worth mentioning, it evaporated like steam, without any difference from the living. Similarly, it wouldn't cause any harm to the nearby residents.
At the same time, just as Li Wen's No. 3 car burst into high-speed flames, Xiao Hong, who had been accelerating with all his might, activated the two high-power wind turbines installed at the rear of the magic pattern car.
Under the powerful thrust of the airflow, the speed of the car soared to a hundred kilometers in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the darkness of night, leaving no trace.
After a few minutes of wild driving, Xiao Hong slowed down the speed of the magic car when he was at a safe distance from the scene, and then proceeded majestically on the main street.
"Captain, this, give." Just as the car slowed down, Yan Nan in the back row handed a paper bag to Xiao Hong in the front row.
"What's inside?" Xiao Hong asked softly, casually taking the paper bag and putting it aside. At this time, from a very far distance, Xiao Hong could already faintly hear the sound of police sirens rising.
"Didn't have time to take a closer look, the only things that seemed valuable were those dozen or so gold coins and three golden hairpins." Yanshan responded, also able to hear the police sirens, but his tone and expression didn't show any abnormality, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
They returned smoothly from the trip to Da Hong Mei, and the black magic car was parked back in the alley. Hong Feng and others carefully carried the exquisite wooden box covered with canvas back to Xiao Hong's bedroom.
Everyone's heart began to thump as they sat around Xiao Hong's bedroom, with a hint of worry on one hand and mainly excitement on the other. Especially Li Wen, who had almost gone bankrupt for the two "Bone Demon Guns" in his hands, and even borrowed ten gold coins from Yan Nan.
Such a windfall, no one is more excited than him.
Xiao Hong lifted the wooden box again, and this time everyone saw what was inside. Apart from the materials for making battle flags, there were other precious materials such as Kui Han iron, Jin Jing stone, etc., worth several thousand gold coins.
This is absolutely a considerable amount of money. Li Wen and others looked at it with shining eyes, this time not only avenging the previous loss but also making a big profit.
"Captain, you said those masked men, will they investigate this matter?" Hong Feng asked with some concern.
"Let them be, anyway, with Mo Xuan and Luo Xue Ning blocking the way, as long as we don't leave any clues behind, it's impossible for them to find us. I reckon even collecting the bodies for Jia Qi would be extremely difficult, unless they're brainless and go ask the Security Bureau or Mo Xuan for people or clues." Xiao Hong said calmly, his hands constantly searching through the empty wooden box.
In the previous materials, Xiao Hong did not find any trace of Dusa grass, which made Xiao Hong somewhat puzzled. In the intelligence previously obtained, Xiao Hong had confirmed twice that there was indeed Dusa grass among the transported goods.
After a careful observation of the wooden box, Xiao Hong suddenly tapped the bottom of the exquisite wooden box a few times, producing a hollow sound.
"As expected, there's a hidden layer." Xiao Hong hummed softly and quickly pulled out a small knife to pry open the hidden layer.
At this time, what was presented in front of Xiao Hong were several exquisite wooden boxes. Reaching out to open one, inside was a single Dusa grass, with a cyan and yellow color, the size of a fist, shaped like an egg, on top of which grew numerous whisker-like tendrils resembling snake heads.
"Wow, unexpectedly, these people are really bold enough to transport this thing." Ye Jiapolong sighed softly, but his expression didn't change much.
Xiao Hong did not respond and continued to open other boxes. There were twenty stalks of Dusa grass, in addition to three unnamed gold-patterned storage containers and a small bottle of liquid.
The solution presents a light yellow color, what it is used for is temporarily uncertain, only at the mouth of the bottle, there is a label with a word.
Carefully examined these three blocks of stored gold threads, each one has a lot of 'curve gold coins'.
Seeing such numbers, Li Wen and others' expressions changed again, they were somewhat unexpected, this time's gain was really not small, or simply put, it was a big windfall.
"Now let's start dividing the spoils, no, I mean distributing the fruits of our labor. As for you two, Dusa Grass, you're useless and would only be a burden, so we'll exclude you from this. The rest of us will divide everything equally, how about that?" After taking stock of all the items in the exquisite wooden box, excluding the Dusa Grass and the Storage Gold Pattern, the total value of the materials was worth a whopping 10,000 gold coins. Each person would get an equal share, not too much or too little.
As soon as the crowd heard this, they were overjoyed. Indeed, this was Xiao Hong's character - although he was stingy in his daily life, when it came to distributing goods, he was absolutely fair.
However, this expression only stayed on their faces for a few seconds, and then everyone was slightly at a loss. The three unidentified storage gold patterns were easy to say, and they could be exchanged for gold coins at the bank, which would be evenly divided. However, these materials were not easy to handle. It can be said that the materials that can be put into the wooden box are basically very precious and rare for them. Taking them out will definitely be very eye-catching and easily targeted by masked men.
If you don't use it, just leave it like this, it's a waste of good things.
"Huh?" Yan Nan's expression suddenly changed, and he slightly shifted his gaze to Xiao Hong, smiled and said: "Captain, I don't want these materials anymore, return them to you. Just make me a better Driver-level war pattern, and the remaining materials will be your reward, how about that?
Xiao Hong did not respond immediately, looked down at the materials on the ground, made a ordinary Rider-class battle pattern, probably need to use good quality gold as base, better ones would be five or six hundred gold, basically still have six hundred gold profit, very cost-effective, so Xiao Hong slightly nodded: "Okay."
After Yan Nan's reminder, the other three people looked at each other and obviously thought that Yan Nan's suggestion was a good one. The money was good, but the material was really troublesome to deal with. If they made it into finished goods, no one would be aware of anything.
Then Hongfeng, Li Wen and Ye Jiapolitely made such a proposal, asking Xiao Hong to help them make a first-class magic tattoo, and the remaining materials would be used as compensation.
Xiao Hong glanced at the four people in front of him, one person could earn 600 gold coins, and four people would be 2400 gold coins. Such a good thing, it seemed that there was no reason to refuse. However, this kind of mind that took advantage of the situation, Xiao Hong did not show on his face, and even made a hesitant appearance, scratched his head, and nodded in agreement.
Then he handed over the paper and pen to them, asking them to write down the basic requirements for customizing the magic tattoo.
Everything was settled, and it was already past two o'clock in the morning. Li Wen and others did not hesitate much, took three storage bags containing gold coins and left, promising to transfer Xiao Hong's 600 gold coins to his account tomorrow.
Xiao Hong's expression didn't change, and after sending the four people out the back door, he directly returned to his bedroom. With no one around, Xiao Hong's true nature was finally revealed. Looking at the numerous precious materials in front of him, his eyes emitted a dazzling light. So many precious materials, this time it's really developed.
Just worried about having no money for cultivation and equipment, but now everything is available. This can't be described as sending charcoal in the snow, but rather sending a stove in the snow.
After a brief excitement, Xiao Hong calmed down and immediately began to record the materials one by one. After finishing, he put them into the storage cabinet. As for this exquisite wooden box, Xiao Hong picked up an axe and split it into boards, preparing to destroy it at any opportunity.
Everything was settled, and Xiao Hong was about to fall asleep when his gaze suddenly fell on the unassuming paper bag on the table. Inside it were the relics collected by Yan Nan, including those of Qian Le and others.
Splish-splash.
Xiao Hong casually opened the paper bag and directly poured all the things onto the desk.
At first glance, these items are nothing special, cigarettes, lighters, and a few packs of tissues, basically all daily necessities.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Xiao Hong's gaze locked onto an object among them, a seemingly ordinary piece of paper that was folded together and looked like a map.
Curious, he picked it up and unfolded it to take a look. As expected, inside was indeed the map of Taiwu City, detailed and meticulous. The difference was that around Taiwu City, small red dots were clearly distributed, almost wrapping the entire Xizheng District.
It seems like a gathering place for masked people or something. Obviously, the person who owns this map is definitely not of a low social status.
Wow!
Just as Xiao Hong was about to feel happy and his mouth corners were slightly curved, Xiao Hong's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes widened, and he froze on the spot.
Because Xiao Hong inadvertently glanced at the left upper corner of the Tai Wu City map, where there was a striking red circle and a large red cross marked. No one knew better than Xiao Hong what that place was - it was Xiao's home, "Xiao Family Village!"
Through extensive research of numerous books in the past, Xiao Hong was very clear that in the military, a circle plus a cross represented the ultimate goal point of a mission.
"How is this possible?" Xiao Hong couldn't help but exclaim, and even he had already vaguely sensed that his illness was not as simple as the plague!
Unable to help himself, Xiao Hong's hands trembled slightly, his eyes involuntarily wandered in their sockets, as if he was thinking, yet seemingly experiencing an extreme shock from the massive impact.
