Chapter 50: Someone wants to buy your life! Seeing through lies!
At this moment, Su Yang only had full killing intent in his heart.
Just a moment ago, he was almost killed!
Just thinking about it, Su Yang was full of lingering fear.
Fortunately, he had listened to Sang Sang Yue’s advice.
Fortunately, the Earth Violent Bear had the "Indestructible Golden Body" talent.
Otherwise, he would have been dead for sure today!
The opponent’s marksmanship was superb; a single shot had struck his skull!
Su Yang never looked for trouble. Since arriving in this world, he had always tried his best to get along well with others.
Yet, Su Yang still hadn’t expected that someone would want to kill him for no reason!
Sang Sang Yue had warned him, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.
Now, he had truly seen it for himself.
Inside the forest, the gunman who had fired the cold shot at Su Yang picked up his energy crystal gun and ran toward the mountain forest behind them.
"Old Long, why are you running?" the squad leader behind him, the beastmaster Tong Tong Difei, asked in pursuit. "Did you not kill that brat? If one shot didn't kill him, you could have fired another! That brat is a military man; since we fired at him, we must finish him off!"
That was right; these people were actually just motivated by greed.
They had noticed Su Yang that morning.
They discovered that Su Yang’s speed in hunting Violent Crocodiles was terrifying to the extreme.
They believed that Su Yang likely had over twenty Bronze-grade beast cores on him, perhaps even more!
Thus, they had developed wicked intentions.
As long as they could shoot Su Yang from the shadows, all the beast cores on his body would belong to them.
Killing beasts was so dangerous!
How could it be easier than killing people and seizing their goods?
They had not only killed ordinary beastmasters, but they had also killed military beastmasters.
As long as the profit was sufficient, there was nothing they dared not do.
They had also noticed Su Yang’s Storm Eagle, but they were very cunning and knew that eagle pets generally had excellent vision, so they didn't dare to get too close.
They discovered that Su Yang always walked along the lower reaches of the Suiyang River, so they used this pattern to ambush him in advance at a location with Violent Crocodiles.
And the result!
They had actually managed to ambush him!
Old Long clutched his beloved energy crystal gun and said without looking back: "My energy crystal gun hit him!"
Tong Tong Difei said happily: "I knew your marksmanship was good, Old Long; you've never missed once... but why are we leaving?"
"I did indeed hit the opponent's head, but my bullet couldn't break through that brat's defense!" Old Long said irritably. "If I don't leave, should I wait for him to invite me to dinner?"
"That's impossible! That brat is only a Bronze-grade beastmaster; how could he defend against our special bullets?"
"I saw it with my own eyes!" Old Long said, pointing to his own eyes while nimbly fleeing through the forest. "My bullet only made the opponent bleed. That brat must be hiding a pet beast that is extremely skilled in defense... In all these years, this is the first time I've encountered a Bronze-grade beastmaster who could hard-carry my bullets!"
"That brat is definitely a Bronze-grade beastmaster, I can be sure of that. But that brat's eagle pet is already so powerful; I didn't expect him to hide an even more powerful defensive one on his person!" Tong Tong Difei said with jealousy. "We are indeed not suited to fight him; the attack power of the beasts I have can't even keep up with the energy crystal gun in your hands!"
"Brothers, speed up, we're heading straight back to the camp!"
Just as Tong Tong Difei finished speaking, something they hadn't expected happened.
The five members of the squad suddenly heard an eagle's cry.
Immediately after, countless wind blades swept past, and the surrounding towering trees were instantly cut in half.
Of the five squad members, two ordinary people were killed directly by the wind blades, and one ordinary person was crushed to death by a falling tree trunk.
Tong Tong Difei, as a beastmaster, reacted quickly and hid among the mountain rocks.
That gunman had good skills; although his reaction was a step slower than Tong Tong Difei's, the chain of wind blades wasn't aimed specifically at anyone, so he barely managed to save his life!
Su Yang stood on the back of the Storm Eagle, staring at the two survivors below, and asked angrily: "Tell me, why did you fire at me?"
Tong Tong Difei and Old Long exchanged a glance, communicating with their eyes.
Old Long, holding the energy crystal gun, looked up and said: "Someone paid us a reward, saying they wanted to buy your life!"
"Who?"
Upon hearing Old Long's answer, Su Yang became even more furious.
He wanted to know who exactly was targeting him from behind the scenes!
"We don't know the person who gave us the reward either. He just paid a deposit of ten Silver-grade beast cores first, saying that after the deed was done, he would give us a reward of ten Gold-grade beast cores!"
"You don't know him? Then what use are you?"
Su Yang began to search his mind for enemies who might have hired someone to kill him...
Old Long shouted loudly: "We really don't know him, but we have seen his face. If we run into him again, we will definitely be able to recognize him!"
Hearing this, Su Yang narrowed his eyes: "Did he tell you that I would appear here?"
Tong Tong Difei nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Su Yang began to sneer in his heart; he started to suspect that the two were lying.
"Do you know what my name is?"
"Since the other party hired you to kill me, you must have a photo of me in your hands, right?"
"Can you show me the photo or the portrait?"
Tong Tong Difei looked at Old Long with a pleading gaze.
But he discovered that Old Long's eyes... were also filled with despair!
Old Long knew that their little trick had been completely seen through by the enemy! ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
