Chapter 846 - Stealing things! (1/2)

To the Pyro Company and the barbarians, Mt. Dashi was originally the battlefield where their two sides would fight each other. But due to the arrival of the two snipers, the battle situation suddenly became very unpredictable.

It was not only P5092 who was curious about Ren Xiaosu’s true identity; even the barbarians were also a little bewildered by the sudden increase in the number of their comrades who had died in the past two days. Moreover, what they could not accept the most was that their deaths were completely meaningless.

Those barbarians were all killed in ambushes without exception.

Some of them were sniped, while others were caught out in unexpected places and killed with a sharp weapon. To be honest, the entire expeditionary army had never fought such a vexing battle before. They did not even know where the enemy was and yet so many of them got killed.

In the dark of night, a five-member team of barbarians was advancing northwards in the forest. They had discovered the main forces of the Pyro Company had blocked off all directions around them and stationed a large number of troops in the mountains. Furthermore, temporary defensive fortifications had also been set up.

Under the command of P5092, the main forces slowly forced the barbarians northwards. The barbarians seemed to have no other choice than to retreat to Longtan Canyon.

The team of five barbarians advanced in silence. They moved in single file as they traveled through the forest, and during this time, no one spoke at all.

However, their marching speed was not considered fast. That was because they still had to cover their tracks so they would not get discovered and followed by the Pyro Company.

But as they walked, the team leader at the front suddenly turned around and saw there were only four of them left in the group!

The team leader turned around and asked coldly, “Where did Valery go?”

Only at this moment did some of the others turn around in shock. They discovered that their companion named Valery had disappeared. During this time, they did not even hear him dropping out of the group!

The team leader asked the barbarian who was fourth in line, “Gennady, where did Valery go? He was following you all this while. Didn’t you notice that he dropped out of the group?”

When he said that, the others also started feeling puzzled. All of them had maintained a spacing of roughly three meters while marching. It made sense if the people at the front did not hear any commotion, but Gennady should definitely have known where Valery had gone.

But Gennady did not answer the question. He just continued walking forward. The way he was walking… looked a little stiff.

The moonlight shone through the branches and leaves of the forest and cast mottled shadows onto their bodies like a sheet of ice. Meanwhile, Gennady’s strange gait made the other three barbarians’ scalps tingle.

As Gennady walked, there was a dripping sound, as though some viscous liquid was trickling onto the decaying leaves of the forest floor.

The team leader suddenly raised his axe and pointed it at Gennady. “Stop! Don’t come any closer or I’ll kill you!”

The other two people also realized something was wrong. They raised their axes and stood on guard, but it was too late by the time they realized something was wrong.

In that instant, a young man holding a black saber suddenly appeared behind Gennady. He even had a smile on his face.

When he bolted out from behind Gennady, the barbarian’s sturdy body was no longer supported by anything and fell straight to the side. Only now did the barbarians realize Gennady had had his eyes closed all this while. It was just that they could not see it due to the mottled shadows cast by the trees!

Gennady was already dead, and that dripping sound was the sound of his blood trickling to the ground!

There was no time to think anymore. The young man in the forest was already swinging his saber at them. The barbarian facing the brunt of the attack raised his axe to block the black saber. He had even thought of how to kill the enemy in front of him already.

It was not particularly difficult for them to kill their enemies. All they needed to do was to rely on their strength to completely crush them.
