The woods are filled with hot air, and the hot spring river flows towards the cliff. On the riverside, the moss spiritual material is still there and has not been destroyed. Not far away, the "flower field" with dozens of night flowers still exists and has not been dug up.
The target of those armed men was obviously not the spiritual materials here, but the Yinyue City under the cliff. From the observation just now, there are no cultivators or demons among the armed personnel, but only well-trained professional warriors. It is obviously impossible for them to realize how precious spiritual materials night flowers and moss growing by the river are.
Ning Tao soon came to the edge of the cliff. An armed man was standing on the edge of the cliff, holding an M16 assault rifle and looking down the cliff. There was a rope tied to the trunk of a tree next to him. The rope was stretched straight, and there were people on the rope.
Ning Tao did not hide the sound of his footsteps and strode over.
The armed man standing on the edge of the cliff heard the footsteps and turned to look at Ning Tao. He wore a night vision device on his head.
"What's going on down there?" Ning Tao said in English.
The armed man standing on the edge of the cliff said: "There is someone down there, but I guess he didn't get to the bottom. I don't know how deep this damn place is."
Ning Tao shook his head, "God knows, it was the boss who asked me to come over and ask about the situation."
"What's going on with your accent?" The armed man standing on the edge of the cliff suddenly became alert and made a preparatory move to raise his gun.
If you look at the face, Ning Tao's face is covered with a scarf and his eyes are equipped with night vision devices. Coupled with the dim light, there are almost no flaws on his body, but his accent is a flaw that cannot be concealed. Although he passed the CET-6, it was still an exam after all, and he rarely had the opportunity to communicate with others in English. The difference in his accent was easily noticed when he opened his mouth.
"There's something wrong with my throat..." Before he finished speaking, Ning Tao suddenly jumped up and kicked the armed man standing on the cliff in the chest.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and before the armed man standing on the edge of the cliff had time to raise his gun, he was kicked off the cliff by Ning Tao. When he screamed, the sound was already far away.
The rope tied to the tree trunk moved, as if someone was climbing up.
"You go down too." Ning Tao pulled out the Eclipse Blade and cut the straight rope with one stroke. The rope was like a fake rope made out of plasticine under the blade of the eclipse. It was cut off in an instant and then fell down the cliff.
There was another faint scream from the bottom of the cliff, this time farther away.
Ning Tao took care of the two "scouts", turned around and ran towards the meeting point, shouting as he ran: "The ancient city was discovered below! The ancient city was discovered below!"
This time, he deliberately corrected the accent problem. Although the effect was not obvious, it could only do this.
After shouting, he did not run out of the woods. Instead, he took a few steps and ran directly up the trunk of a big tree.
Soon, four armed men came in from outside the woods and moved quickly towards the cliff. The first one holds his gun and is locked straight ahead, the second one's muzzle is facing the left side of the team, the third one's muzzle is facing the right side of the team, and the last one's muzzle is facing upwards.
How high the combat literacy of these armed personnel is can be seen just from their self-protection on the move.
However, they were unable to protect their rear.
Ning Tao watched the four armed men who came in to verify the situation walk by his feet. During this process, several action plans emerged in his mind. These four armed men must be eliminated, but how to get rid of them is a question that needs to be considered. He cannot make any mistakes when he takes action. Once he makes a mistake, he will fall under the opponent's powerful firepower and will not even have a chance to open a convenient door.
Kill it with one shot from the shell gun
This plan was the first thing that came to mind, but once a shot was fired, the violent explosion would attract the attention of people outside the woods, and he would be exposed. After that, more armed men would surround him.
Slit their throats with an eclipse blade
This plan was thought of after he rejected the first plan, but he rejected it again in the blink of an eye. He was able to kill two armed men when he pounced on them, but there were four on the other side. He had already killed two of the other guys. If the remaining two guys didn't shoot him, wouldn't they be fools? This is not a movie. Bullets from extras will never hit the protagonist. This is a real battlefield, and a stray bullet may kill him.
The third option is to open a convenient door and go back to the clinic, and ask Qing Zhui, Bai Jing and Yin Molan to come over and help. But he rejected this plan as soon as it came up. Qing Zhui, Bai Jing and Yin Molan had already left Jiange Cave at this time. Yin Molan might be racing on a road, and Qing Zhui and Bai Jing might be on a certain street in the mountain city. There was no way he could summon them all to join the battle when he needed help the most.
Just as these three plans flashed through Ning Tao's mind, the four armed men had already walked ten meters away. Not far ahead was the cliff where the hot spring waterfall was. Once they reach the cliff, they find the cut rope tied to the tree trunk, and they can figure out what happened just by thinking on their toes.
The fourth plan suddenly appeared in Ning Tao's mind. He took off his backpack, opened the small medicine box and grabbed the medicine rope from inside. Then, he put his backpack on his back and jumped down from the tree canopy. The spiritual power is poured into the herb-gathering rope, the runes on the herb-gathering rope flash, and the state of the magic weapon is activated. At that moment, he waved his hand and threw the medicinal rope towards the four armed men lined up.
Whoosh!
The medicinal rope flew out of Ning Tao's hand, and the head of the rope was wrapped with a ball of black and white aura. That aura is an energy field released by special spiritual power. It wraps the bullets of the shell gun. It allows the bullets of the shell gun to exert terrifying power comparable to that of artillery shells. When it wraps the end of the rope for collecting herbs, it is no longer a shell. It is comparable to the spear thrown by the savages in Shennongjia!
The sound of breaking through the air came from behind. The armed man walking at the end of the team heard the sound and subconsciously turned around to look. But before he could turn his head, a rope penetrated his head, and his head exploded at that moment, like a watermelon hit by a bullet!
The herb-collecting rope did not stop and instantly blew the heads of the third and second people!
Before an armed man walking at the front of the team could react, a rope flew past his cheek. At that moment, he had no doubt that it was a rope, but a rocket! If his head hadn't been in the same straight line, his head would have exploded like a watermelon hit by a bullet!
The armed man walking at the front of the team turned around suddenly. In his sight, three headless companions were falling to the ground. He has experienced hundreds of battles and would not even blink his eyes when looking at a murderer, but his anus still tightened when he saw such a scene. Then he saw a guy standing behind, with his face covered and holding a rope in his hand. After all, he was a well-trained and experienced professional fighter. In the next second, he suddenly turned around, swung his arm, raised the gun, and put the index finger of his right hand on the trigger.
Whoosh!
A ray of cold light suddenly flashed, and when it stopped, it was already on his forehead.
It was a scalpel, the blade of the eclipse.
The last armed man fell straight to the ground. He was unable to fire a single shot or shout until he died.
Ning Tao breathed a long sigh of relief. He walked towards the four corpses, collecting the medicinal ropes as he walked. This was the first time he used the medicinal rope as a weapon, and he didn't expect it to be so useful. In fact, this is not a risky move. He is quite confident in the herb-gathering rope, because after he activates the herb-gathering rope and enters the magic weapon state, the herb-gathering rope can penetrate into the hard rock up to a foot deep. What's wrong with the impact piercing a few heads? The magical instruments of Tianwai Clinic are beyond the comparison of ordinary magical instruments!
Ning Tao stopped next to the last corpse, reached out and pulled out the Eclipse Blade, and inserted it into the canvas scabbard on the right side of his thigh. He wasn't going to put the medicinal rope in the small medicine box anymore, so he tied it to his backpack.
Just when Ning Tao was about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded, "17, what's going on over there? 17, talk back!"
The voice came from a communicator hanging on his shoulder.
17. This is obviously not his name, but a code name. Even when they are in control of the overall situation, these people cover their faces, do not say their real names, and use numerical code names. What is certain is that even if China's intelligence agency investigates these corpses afterwards, nothing will be found. This is not the first time Ning Tao has encountered this style. They are all dark mercenaries from the Black Fire Company.
Ning Tao took off the communicator and said in a deep voice: "The ruins of the city have been discovered, just under the cliff."
"Okay, I'll bring someone over right away." The white commander's voice came from the communicator.
Ning Tao hung the communicator on his shoulder and pushed all four corpses into the hot spring river. Then he returned to the cliff, untied the half of the rope that was still tied to the tree trunk, and threw it off the cliff. The blood and brains on the ground couldn't be cleaned, and he couldn't care so much. He crossed the hot spring river and quickly sneaked towards the edge of the woods from the other side.
As soon as Ning Tao left, the burly white commander led seven or eight armed men into the woods and walked along the Hot Spring River toward the cliff. Compared with the small goal of catching the Shennongjia savages, the city of the Yinyue people is obviously more valuable.
Ning Tao soon arrived at the edge of the forest. He immediately saw Tang Zixian, Tu Wenjin, Ma Tongtong, Ji Wengui and Yang Chen, who were guarded by two armed men. There are also two armed men guarding the entrance of the cave, and the Asian man holding a sniper rifle is one of them. He and a black armed man kept their eyes and attention on the cave, not on the hostages.
Ning Tao walked out from behind the tree trunk where he was hiding and strode towards the two armed men guarding the hostages.
