Chapter 339 Captured Alive (1/2)
”Is he dead?” The smile on the red-haired girl curled into a sneer. ”Simple-minded fool. Killing him will throw the Huaxia region into chaos. You didn't miss, did you?”
”Believe me, there's no way I'd miss a head that big. At this range, I could even take down an Elite-tier monster without a problem, not to mention a human.” The man rubbed his aching shoulder. The recoil from his sniper sure packed a punch.
Still battling in the sky, Flamy paused momentarily before resuming its fight with the Winged Cobra. Its attacks were unbelievably faster and stronger than before. A long, keening wail escaped Flamy, anguish written clear across its face. This rampage seemed to be its way of avenging its fallen master.
”Let's get out of here quickly. Even with the racket those two familiars are causing, someone in Southern Sky might have heard the gunshot.”
”Yeah. Let's go while these creatures are occupied.” The red-haired girl nodded.
The bald, tattooed man eyed the people around him before quickly heading over to where Gao Peng was. ”Let's not waste the core crystal. I'll go get it and we can split it in half.”
A bulky, golden-haired man wearing a brightly colored singlet hopped out. Wielding a rifle in one hand, he gently tapped the side of the truck. Out leaped a strange familiar that looked like a Light Albatross with two pairs of wings instead of one.
The albatross was already outfitted with saddles and was obviously ready for travel. The blonde man, the red-haired girl, and the other mustached guy were about to get on when the blonde man did a double take. Staring after the bald man, the blonde man had a strange look on his face. Something didn't feel right.
All of a sudden, the blonde man slapped his forehead in dismay. He remembered something odd. When the bullet hit Gao Peng, there had been no sign of blood.
At such a close range, there should have been a freaking crater in his head.
No blood?!
His facial expression changed. He immediately leaped on the Four-winged Light Albatross. ”Let's go!”
”But Gou Bang isn't back yet,” said the mustached man.
”We're not waiting for that idiot,” the blonde man said icily.
At that very moment, the bald man rummaging through Gao Peng's clothing for the pouch of core crystals nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt someone grab his arm.
His face paled as he turned to look. Gao Peng was staring right back at him with eyes wide open.
What sorcery was this?
Chills ran down his spine and goosebumps rippled across his arms. What do you want from me? I didn't kill you! he thought.
”Don't go around touching people like that. It's rather impolite, you know?” Gao Peng fixed him with an angry glare.
Before the bald man could say anything, Gao Peng grinned wryly and crushed the bald man's shoulder bone into dust.
”Argh!” A blood-curdling scream ripped through the quiet night sky.
As the people on the Four-winged Light Albatross saw the ground grow smaller and smaller until it was nearly out of sight, they heaved sighs of relief.
There was no way Gao Peng could have pulled off a switch. There simply wasn't enough time. The only logical explanation was that Gao Peng was still alive.
