Lu Jiuchuan provided cover while Yu Hanjiang destroyed the surveillance cameras. Only when all the cameras were destroyed did Yu Hanjiang press the voice headset and whisper to his teammates, "Go!"
The teammates who were hiding in the distance rushed over quickly, and the group surrounded Xu Muran's residence.
Meanwhile, 14 Hunters had gathered inside Xu Muran's house. Of the remaining 6, apart from Xue Qing being stunned by Shao Qingge, the others were dealt with by Chu, Shao, and Ye working together on the outside.
Xu Muran said with a grim face, "Let's move!"
He immediately activated [ Card Skill Shielding ]. For the next 5 minutes, all "skill" cards were unusable, and Xiao Lou could hardly use any summoning cards.
A huge metal net descended around the house, followed by a torrential rain of arrows!
These are Hunter's [Skynet] card for catching people and [Arrow Rain] for wide-range shooting. Both have appeared in K Secret Chamber. Xiao Lou was prepared, so the moment he saw the giant net and the arrows, he immediately threw Old Mo's solid wood floor card into the air—
Solid wood flooring belongs to the tool category and is not affected by skill shielding.
The massive wooden planks formed a ceiling-like barrier in the air, effectively blocking the metal mesh and the first wave of arrows.
Xiao Lou placed the plank on his head and escorted his teammates to quickly storm into Xu Muran's residence!
Chu Huaying and Shao Qingge were the most agile. Shao Qingge climbed up the wall next to him and reached the roof in the blink of an eye. Chu Huaying leaped and tumbled through the window into the house.
Lu Jiuchuan wielded a sharp sword, while Yu Hanjiang held a sharp military knife in his left hand and a light pistol in his right. The two provided cover for each other, and were simply unstoppable.
The two Hunters, who were lying in ambush on the first floor, secretly set up their guns in the shadows, but before they could pull the trigger, they were quickly taken down by Lu Jiuchuan and Yu Hanjiang, who moved like the wind.
As they stormed to the second floor, Shao Qingge and Chu Huaying also rushed in through the roof and windows respectively.
However, as soon as the four entered the house, they found that there was no one in sight.
Hunter also used stealth-type skills.
At this moment, a white crystal ball floats in the middle of the room, capable of illuminating all invisible targets within its range.
As soon as the four of them entered the house, gunshots rang out all around them!
Almost instinctively, the four rolled to the ground, countless bullets whizzing past their ears. Shao Qingge, however, was not adept at handling gunfights, and was accidentally shot twice in the shoulder, bleeding profusely. Fortunately, he was the Insect King, and the wounds healed rapidly at a visible speed.
Yu Hanjiang said in a deep voice, "Be careful!"
This is part of Xu Muran's Plan B.
When they appear, activate the skill to shield them, allowing the pre-placed white crystal ball to illuminate their bodies, while the Hunter hides in the shadows, ambushing them with weapons.
Because card skills are blocked, all area-of-effect attacks and control skills are currently unusable, and Xiao Lou's teleportation skills are restricted, so they cannot teleport together now.
The Hunters outnumbered them.
The Hunters were all invisible, but their presence was revealed by the light from the crystal ball.
With the enemy in the shadows and us in the open, the situation suddenly became tense.
Yu Hanjiang reacted quickly and immediately warned, " Xiao Lou, don't come up yet, Old Gui, block the stairwell!"
Xiao Lou, Gui Yuanzhang, Tang Ci, and Ye Qi, who were still on the first floor, immediately stopped in their tracks.
Gui Yuanzhang placed his inkstone out, effectively sealing off the stairwell.
There's only this staircase between the first and second floors. As long as the staircase is blocked, Hunter on the second floor won't be able to run down and injure Xiao Lou and the other three. Yu Hanjiang did this for two reasons: first, to protect his teammates who weren't good at close combat; and second, to prevent Xu Muran and the others from escaping downstairs while they were invisible.
However, this means that they will have to face an attack from 16 Hunters as a group of four!
Gunfire continued to ring in his ears as Yu Hanjiang dodged and moved swiftly.
They were thinking about countermeasures.
He suddenly remembered something that had happened a long time ago in the secret room of Spade 3.
That time, they and their opponents became invisible to each other. But Xiao Lou explained that the Invisibility Cloak only made the opponent visually invisible; their bodies still existed and could collide and get injured just like usual. So, Xiao Lou took out his Compass and drew many circles, causing all the Rings to fall from the sky— wherever a Ring was blocked, there was clearly someone there.
As long as something can collide with Hunter, Yu Hanjiang can pinpoint Hunter's location.
Yu Hanjiang reacted quickly, immediately taking out a card that Xiao Lou had given him when they first met.
Folding Paper.
This is just a Grade A tool card, a one-time use card, but it can be folded into any shape and instantly magnified several times to become a real object. You can even use it to fold airplanes or ships.
With limited time, Yu Hanjiang hid his hands behind his back and folded the paper into the shape of a ball of cotton at lightning speed.
He threw the cotton in his hand, and the cotton immediately magnified dozens of times, almost filling the entire room.
In an instant, cotton wool scattered everywhere, like snowflakes falling.
The Hunter's invisible body remains in the room, but after coming into contact with the cotton, the cotton will clearly reveal their body outline.
Xu Muran wanted to curse out loud!
He knew that Xiao Lou and his gang had too many strange cards, so he activated [ Card Skill Shielding ], intending to have the well-trained Hunter lie in ambush and use various knives and guns to wipe them all out at once.
As a result, Yu Hanjiang inexplicably conjured up a bunch of cotton!
Upon seeing this, Lu Jiuchuan, Shao Qingge, and Chu Huaying immediately understood Yu Hanjiang's intention.
Chu Huaying was the first to rush out!
There was a person not far in front of her. Although she couldn't see the person's face, the cotton helped her outline the person's figure. Chu Huaying waved away the surrounding cotton with her left hand, and her spider dagger in her right hand was fast and ruthless. Before the person could struggle out of the cotton ball, Chu Huaying stabbed him through the chest with a knife!
Three people were surrounding Lu Jiuchuan. Lu Jiuchuan swiftly thrust his sword, the blade piercing through the cotton ball and slicing the man's throat!
Yu Hanjiang couldn't see Hunter before, but now, with the help of the cotton, Hunter's outline was completely visible. He held the gun in his right hand and fired several shots in quick succession. Wherever the bullets hit, blood spurted out, even staining the surrounding cotton red!
The previous disadvantage was instantly reversed.
The hunters were surrounded by cotton, which not only restricted their movements but also blurred their vision. The abundance of cotton caused 80% of the bullets fired to deviate, making it easier for Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan, and Chu Huaying to dodge without injury. As for Shao Qingge, now in his insect king form, even if he was shot, his body could heal rapidly.
Although Hunter had plenty of guns and ammunition, Yu Hanjiang reacted extremely quickly and had exceptionally sharp hearing, managing to roll away alertly every time a bullet came at him. Lu Jiuchuan, similarly trained, could roll and sidestep, dodging while simultaneously slashing with his sword.
Chu Huaying was the most agile, moving like the wind, making it impossible to pinpoint her location. As for Shao Qingge … he adopted an attitude of "I'm the Insect King, I'm not afraid," charging straight at Hunter to confront him head-on!
The presence of cotton throughout the room actually made the four of them feel right at home.
Xiao Lou on the first floor was terrified. The constant gunshots overhead were incredibly intense. His heart was in his throat, fearing that Hanjiang and the others might be hit by stray bullets!
Fortunately, he was connected to Lu Jiuchuan via Telepathic Connection and could clearly sense Jiu Ge's initial tension and current relaxation— Hanjiang had actually folded paper into cotton to deal with the Hunter; it was quite an idea of his.
The intense gunfight lasted for about 5 minutes. Half of the Hunters who were lying in ambush on the second floor were taken out, and the cotton in the room was almost completely stained red with blood.
Xu Muran watched this scene with eyes blazing with fury.
His original plan to ambush and launch a surprise attack had completely failed. His face darkened, and he whispered, "Withdraw!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the five minutes for Card Skill Shielding were up.
Xu Muran and the others inside the house have all disappeared.
Xiao Lou hurriedly said, " Liu Qiao, Teacher Qu, watch out for our retreat, don't let them get away!"
Yu Hanjiang arranged for Liu Qiao and his three companions to ambush the western side in advance, and left Li Qingzhao's mark. Because there was a place west of Oasis Town that specialized in raising camels, and the road there led deep into the desert, Xiao Lou guessed that there might be Hunter's means of transportation among the camels, and if Xu Muran wanted to escape, the western road would be the most suitable route.
Upon hearing Xiao Lou's words, Qu Wanyue immediately activated the teleportation mark.
Everyone instantly appeared at the marker point to the west of the town.
Almost at the same time, a loud "boom" came from the two-story building behind them—everyone who heard the explosion was still shaken. Who would have thought that Xu Muran had buried so many explosives in his own home?
Before leaving, he simply blew up his own residence. If Xiao Lou hadn't made prior arrangements and teleported in time, Xiao Lou and his group would have been blown to pieces!
Ye Qi had never encountered such a thrilling scene before. Bullets were flying everywhere, and explosives were enough to destroy the world. The fire and smoke in the distance almost engulfed the entire town. Thinking of Xue Qing, who had just been knocked unconscious by CEO Shao, Ye Qi took a deep breath to steady his heartbeat and said in a trembling voice, "That Xu Muran really doesn't care about the lives of his companions. He actually blew up the entire town!"
Xiao Lou quickly composed himself and whispered instructions to his teammates.
"Guard the last road."
Old Mo said, "Don't worry, it's already been arranged."
