Chapter 589-590

Chapter 589: The Last Killer 　 The sound of gunshots reverberated in the quiet woods. The three prey that had rushed to hide because of Lin Xiao’s arrival had been eliminated by Yun Xi. What shocked Lin Xiao, even more, was that he also had suffered a gunshot. Seeing the puffing smoke rising from his casual attire, Lin Xiao looked in the direction the shot had come from, dumbfounded. However, a small glimmer of appreciation flashed through his eyes. Good! The girl had taken him for a prey and tried to wipe him out. She had no conscience. He had to admire her cleverness. Because he was also one of the prey. If she didn’t kill him, then even if she killed all the other predators in the forest, he would be the last killer that remained. And then he also would have the opportunity to destroy her. 　 　 Instead of killing him when she left the factory building, she had chosen the forest instead. That meant that she’d intended to stay here and didn’t need him as a driver anymore. Knowing Young Marshal Mu’s temperament, he would definitely rush over here as fast as possible. After dark, the forest would be full of unlimited possibilities and surprises. Lin Xiao chuckled lightly, turned, excited to watch the show tonight, and walked back to the vehicle. After using Lin Xiao as the bait to successfully kill three prey, Yun Xi wasn’t able to find other prey in the forest. Furthermore, she’d just stepped on a landmine. Speechless, Yun Xi lowered her head and glanced at the landmine. Was this just a test? She didn’t believe that she really couldn’t get out of this area. After identifying the model of the mine, she lowered her head and, not daring to breathe, began to squat down slowly. She put down her bag, took out her parachute knife and some other equipment, and started to dig around the mine in the layers of soil. The temperature had dropped sharply after sunset, but she soon broke out in a cold sweat from the exertion. When the wind blew, she shivered. It took a lot of effort to clear the landmine. Fearing that others might step on it, she glanced around and cut an enormous branch to block off the area. 　 　 After confirming that nobody else would step on it by mistake, she quickly left the area and found a more sheltered, hidden place to stay in for the night. The sky had gotten completely dark, and the darkness made it difficult for her to judge the directions, and for this reason it also increased the difficulty of eliminating her targets. After setting up the gun, through the green vision of the scope, she looked around the forest through her night-vision goggles, and began to try to locate any prey. It was a pity that her marksmanship really wasn’t very good. She soon discovered two moving prey. Although the night-vision goggles were handy for distinguishing the direction of the prey, her shooting attempts failed again and again. She fired several shots in a row but her opponent managed to escape each time. Her opponent moved very fast, making it difficult for her to even be able to aim. Seeing the prey escape over and over, Yun Xi got upset and gradually lost her patience. Next time, as soon as she saw the prey in the scope, she sprinted over, with the parachute knife in her hand glowing coldly in the night. Just as the prey was shifting positions, she rushed toward him from the higher terrain. The prey reacted quickly. He blocked the knife in her hand. The two immediately lurched themselves at each other, scrambling into a ball. Yun Xi swiftly kicked him on the knee, then jumped quickly away. The prey was surprised at the speed of her reactions. Yun Xi’s wrist turned, the knife in her hand already on the neck of the prey. The prey obeyed the rules that he couldn’t counterattack during the first 12 hours. Her hand on her gun, which was at her waist, slowly relaxed. “Touche!” Putting away her knife, Yun Xi glanced at the prey. The prey nodded, and then he chuckled, teasing her, “Your reaction speed is good, but...your marksmanship is really terrible.” 　 *** Chapter 590: He Must Be a Mythical Existence 　 Yun Xi grit her teeth. She knew that her marksmanship was poor, but how could she, a rookie, be compared to them? He was simply being sarcastic with her. “How did you dodge my bullet so quickly?” With a trace of suspicion in her eyes, Yun Xi looked at the prey in front of her. They were too fast. Compared with the prey that she had killed in the woods in the afternoon, the speed of this prey was twice as fast. Under the dim light, Ye Ning glanced at the little girl with stubborn eyes who was full of tenacity. When she’d eliminated Lin Xiao moments before, he’d become very curious about her. 　 　 This little girl was not only smart, but her combative skills were also quite decent. Her reaction speed had completely exceeded his expectations. And the ultimate killer, Lin Xiao, had been killed so quickly. It was a slap in the face for their boss. “A well-trained shooter should be able to aim at their opponent in 2.5 seconds at the fastest. For a rookie like you, I gave you five seconds. Five seconds was enough for me to dodge two bullets from you.” Perhaps because he was very curious about her, Ye Ning couldn’t help but say a few extra words. “...” Yun Xi understood what he meant. With such a big gap in capabilities, it was no wonder that she had been defeated so easily. Frowning slightly, Yun Xi raised her head. Curious, she asked, “If you need 2.5 seconds, then what about Young Marshal Mu?” She was very curious to know the answer to this question and could hardly wait for Mu Feichi to come back so she could to ask him. No matter what, she had already taken a blow, so she wasn’t afraid of any more surprises. “Young Marshal Mu?” Upon the mention of the name of the men of the Mu family, almost every man’s eyes flashed with the same sense of worship and awe. Yun Xi silently looked at the man with shining eyes in front of her eyes. Perhaps the gleam of light in such sharp eyes could only be understood if she truly became a man. “Young Marshal Mu only needs 2.2 seconds. So far, only one person has broken his record.” 　 　 “Oh?” There was actually someone who was more capable than Mu Feichi. This surprised Yun Xi a bit, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Who was it? Who is that capable?” “Young Marshal Mu’s boss and teacher, Yan Shuo, the first bodyguard of the Mu family. We all call him Lucifer. The bodyguards who come through his hands are all elites among the elite.” He was such a powerful figure, yet Yun Xi had never heard of him, even in her previous life. If he could teach such an outstanding godlike figure as Mu Feichi, the boss of the Mu family, he must be a mythical existence. “Since you just eliminated Lin Xiao, I can tell you how many prey there still are now.” “Why?” Yun Xi was a little puzzled. “Because Lin Xiao was the ultimate killer, so you can get a reward of the same value if you eliminate him.” “Just one? Shouldn’t there be rewards for me to choose from?” “The other options are of little use to you.” Ye Ning raised his hand and looked at his digital watch. “There are still two hours before the prey counterattacks. Even if I showed you the topographic map of this area or gave you other instruments, they would be of little use to you.” Yun Xi nodded and chuckled softly. “Indeed. The light is so dim now, it would be useless for you to give me a topographic map. If I can’t make it through tonight, what’s the point of talking about tomorrow?” Yun Xi glanced at Ye Ning’s shoulder, but she couldn’t see what his official position was. However, she knew that a prey who would stop and talk to her was obviously high-ranking. “Are you also a bodyguard?” “What do you mean?” Ye Ning smiled at her. His elegant, handsome face was gentle and graceful. He didn’t look like a harsh man. Ye Ning didn’t say anything but calmly took out his badge from his pocket. Yun Xi glanced at his badge. He really wasn’t any ordinary person. Mu Chongli had definitely invited two people of very high rank to come out and test her. He really had gone all out.
