Chapter 252: Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth?

These, are they all fifth-tier exotic beasts?

Jiang Cheng's breathing became rapid.

The purchase price for one fifth-tier exotic beast is between 200,000 and 300,000.

Ten of them, that's nearly three million; the most he's ever earned in one go is that much money.

Even with a fifty-fifty split, he'd still get 1.5 million in hand.

Hmm!

Ye Ying also looked excited, nodding heavily.

These are black mane pigs; they usually move in herds, their fur is excellent material for crafting second-tier talismans, the bristles on their bodies can also be used to make weapons, and the two tusks in their mouths, though not as valuable as the sixth-tier exotic beast we just encountered, are still worth a lot— but...

But what?

But this kind of exotic beast is somewhat ferocious; once attacked, they will also attack the nearest enemy, and they are very fast— just like our current distance of about 150 meters, they could reach us in four or five seconds.

Like that.

Jiang Cheng smiled.

If they charge at us, wouldn't they actually enter your attack range?

Hmm, my attack range now reaches 50 meters; just a few fifth-tier exotic beasts, I could take care of them in an instant.

Ye Ying nodded.

Then there's nothing to worry about.

Jiang Cheng said, raising his gun and aiming at the largest one.

He pulled the trigger.

At the instant the sound rang out, the largest black mane pig's belly showed a fist-sized blood hole; needless to say, it lived up to being a fifth-tier exotic beast.

If it were a third-tier exotic beast like a argali sheep, one shot would leave a blood hole as big as a large bowl.

After letting out a shrill cry, the wounded black mane pig fell with a thud, twitching all over while wailing.

The remaining nine black mane pigs immediately sensed Jiang Cheng and Ye Ying's presence.

Then, one after another, they came running wildly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jiang Cheng kept moving the gun muzzle.

Each time he pulled the trigger, a black mane pig was hit and fell.

The remaining few black mane pigs finally felt fear, slammed on the brakes, turned and ran.

Unfortunately, it was still too late.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Another three gunshots rang out.

Ye Ying didn't even have time to act; the last three black mane pigs also collapsed in a pool of blood.

Their vitality was indeed tenacious; the black mane pig that was first hit hadn't breathed its last, still struggling.

I thought I'd get a chance to strike this time.

Ye Ying felt a bit regretful.

I thought they could get within fifty meters, but...

I actually think this is fine; hopefully over the next few days, you won't need to act.

Jiang Cheng laughed.

Indeed.

Ye Ying understood.

Her gaze fell on the black mane pigs lying outside, giving her an unreal feeling.

Ten black mane pigs, even if not three million, are still over two million.

Just like that, we got it?

Admittedly, if ten black mane pigs were within her attack range, she could wipe them all out, but they aren't stupid; they'd run when they see an unknown object approaching.

But now there's another problem: the rear cargo space is limited— how to load ten black mane pigs? If left here, would they be discovered?

However, the next moment, her expression turned grim.

Jiang Cheng was the same.

Because ahead, three off-road vehicles were driving toward this place.

Leading them were two pickup trucks, except they lacked metal plating at the back, being open-top.

Moreover, each pickup truck's roof had a heavy machine gun mounted, with a gunner standing behind each.

Behind the two pickups was a modified truck, its cargo box over three meters long and over two meters high. The three vehicles slowly approached and stopped in front of the black mane pig that had been hit first.

The car doors opened, and five or six men wielding sniper rifles and machine guns stepped out.

The two men operating the heavy machine guns on the pickup trucks then aimed their barrels at this spot.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.

What he least wanted to happen still happened.

Let's go over and negotiate; if that fails, we'll give them a beating.

Hmm.

A flash of killing intent crossed Ye Ying's eyes.

Don't think that because they have more people and guns, she isn't the same as she was two months ago.

More importantly, as long as the distance between them is within fifty meters, she can turn the tables and take out several people in the shortest time.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, she doesn't want to kill, but from the actions of those people before her, they aren't the type to back down; otherwise they wouldn't have stopped.

The two opened the car doors and walked over there.

A few people nearby also jumped in fright.

They hadn't expected that the two opponents would have such nerve.

"Brother Chen Jun, they're coming over? Should we just open fire and take them out?"

The gunner on a pickup truck asked.

"No rush, let's see what they intend to do?"

The man called Brother Chen Jun grinned.

With the numbers laid out here, since the other side had the courage to walk over, does he lack courage? The distance between the two sides was gradually closing.

With several guns pointed at him, Jiang Cheng felt genuinely nervous.

But first, he trusted Ye Ying beside him; if those people fired, the bullets would all be intercepted, and he didn't have to worry about his own shots being intercepted.

Second, he was now a Level 6 Original Force Warrior, and the opponent's strongest firepower was the two 14.5mm Heavy Machine Guns mounted on the two pickup trucks.

Those Heavy Machine Guns were slightly more powerful than the Heavy Sniper Rifle he carried, but not by much; as long as they didn't hit vital points, there would be no problem.

The distance between the two sides slowly narrowed.

From 150 meters to 100 meters, then to 80 meters, 50 meters, even 30 meters!

"Stop!"

From the opposite side came a scolding voice, "Come any closer and we'll open fire!"

The two exchanged a glance, halted, and Jiang Cheng spoke up: "Everyone, that Black Mane Pig under your feet was shot by me—not just this one, but the remaining few as well."

Hearing this, several men opposite exchanged a smile.

So what of it?

That many Black Mane Pigs amount to two to three million.

Not to mention Jiang Cheng and his group; even if there were four or five of them, they'd still come up for a share.

"Hilarious."

Chen Jun laughed loudly: "You say those Black Mane Pigs were killed by you, are you sure you killed them? I was saying they were killed by me. I tracked them for several kilometers along the way. Brothers, I'm right, aren't I?"

The people beside him immediately echoed.

"So you're saying you're set on snatching our prey?"

Jiang Cheng's tone cooled.

The opponent's actions were not unexpected; in fact, the moment they appeared, he had already anticipated this outcome.

"Your prey? Kid, why don't you ask them to try? See if they'll agree to you?"

Chen Jun let out a few cold laughs.

What a joke, that's two to three million! Only a fool would let them go.

"Get lost right now, I can act as if nothing happened."

"Brother Chen Jun, that kid's Gunmanship isn't simple; if we let them go..." a man beside whispered.

"By the way, before leaving, leave the guns behind." Chen Jun snapped back, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Indeed, he had also seen the opponent's Gunmanship.

A sneak attack from the shadows would indeed be a headache.

Therefore, rather than letting the tiger return to the mountain, it's better to eliminate any future trouble forever.

Actually at first he really didn't intend to kill the people either; it was just that the opponent came to his door, so he couldn't blame himself.
