The sound was so loud that Tang Zheng immediately recognized it as a gunshot. How could there be a gunshot? He did not have time to think because one of the team members had fallen to the ground and was bleeding profusely. His head was tilted to the side.
"We're under attack. Everyone, get down and be careful of the bullets," Tang Zheng yelled.
In an instant, everyone fell to the ground in a panic. They had just escaped the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. Most importantly, who else would have a gun in the wilderness other than the archeological team?
Bang, bang, bang …
A barrage of bullets came at them like a storm. Many trees were riddled with holes but Tang Zheng did not lie down. Instead, he leaped out like a leopard.
Seeing this, Qi Shaowen panicked and shouted, "Tang Zheng, where are you going? It's dangerous! "
"Professor Qi, all of you lie down. Don't follow me. I'll take care of these enemies." As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zheng had disappeared without a trace. None of the archeological team members dared to get up.
Someone asked in a daze, "Professor Qi, why is your disciple so powerful?"
"Tang Zheng's face looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before," someone said suspiciously.
In fact, Tang Zheng had gained quite a reputation after participating in the Martial Arts Circle Championship. However, that was only for those who cared about the Martial Arts Circle Championship. Many people still did not know much about him. They did not even know who he was, just like these archeological professionals.
"He's the champion of this Martial Arts Circle Championship," Qi Shaowen explained.
"Ah, it's him. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. I've seen his picture on the Internet before," someone exclaimed. "I heard that he's very good at martial arts. With him around, we'll be much safer."
"Is he that good?" someone asked in confusion.
"Of course he's good …"
As a result, everyone chattered endlessly about Tang Zheng. The bullets had already stopped, but no one got up. No one could predict where a bullet would come from.
Tang Zheng was like a spirit in the woods. He was as fast as lightning, making it impossible for the enemies to aim at him, let alone hit him.
Tang Zheng finally discovered the enemy a few hundred meters away. His eyes instantly burned with a raging flame. These people were well-armed. At first glance, he could tell that they were not easy to deal with.
"Who are you people?" Tang Zheng asked angrily.
"Kill him! Avenge Young Master Long. " Suddenly, someone shouted. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out, and the bullets shot towards Tang Zheng like a tsunami. The place where he stood turned into a mess.
But Tang Zheng had already disappeared.
"Stop! Where is he? "
"He should be dead by now, right?"
Everyone was bewildered. Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air came from above. Everyone subconsciously raised their heads and saw Tang Zheng descending from the sky. The machete in his hand was suffused with a cold light.
"Fire!"
There were no gunshots because Tang Zheng was like a cheetah, rushing into the crowd. He would not give anyone a chance to open fire.
He had already figured out the other party's identity. These people were actually sent by the Long family. Long Xuanyuan must have known that Long Tengyu had died in his hands, so he sent these people to take revenge.
He was not afraid of these people, but he was worried about Long Xuanyuan. If he was nearby, then he would be in danger.
Therefore, he had to cut the Gordian knot. Figures flashed, and people kept falling to the ground. Tang Zheng did not show mercy, and killed them all in one blow.
After a while, there was only one leader left in the group of more than ten people. Tang Zheng took away the other party's pistol and pointed it at his chest. He asked with a murderous look, "Do you have any accomplices?"
"Tang Zheng, you can't escape. Diannan is the territory of the Long family, you can't escape. Just wait, the Patriarch will come and kill you."
"Is that so? You won't see that day."
Bang!
He pulled the trigger without hesitation and went back the way he came. He found that the archeological team was still lying on the ground, looking around nervously. When they saw him coming back, they cheered, "Tang Zheng, how is it?"
"It's okay, everyone get up." Tang Zheng walked to the team member who was shot and found that the bullet did not hit the internal organs, but only the shoulder. However, blood was still flowing out. If he was not treated, he would die from excessive blood loss.
"The team doctor is with Lu Ming, how can we save him?" Everyone surrounded the injured and did not know what to do.
"Don't worry, he's fine." Tang Zheng used his True Qi to stop the bleeding and used a trace of True Qi to protect the other party's heart meridian. The injured person who fainted from the pain finally woke up.
"Don't move, two people come and support him. We have to leave here." Tang Zheng said in a deep voice. Unconsciously, his body emitted a majestic aura, which was irresistible.
Qi Shaowen asked curiously, "Who fired the gun just now?"
Tang Zheng shook his head. "I don't know, I've already chased them away. Don't worry." Tang Zheng could not say that he had killed those people, otherwise it would cause panic.
"Who would come all the way to the Hundred Thousand Mountains?" Qi Shaowen was filled with suspicion.
"… Maybe it's a drug dealer. Isn't the Hundred Thousand Mountains close to the border? I've heard that drug trafficking is rampant here. Maybe a drug dealer accidentally entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains. "Someone suddenly had an idea.
"Drug dealer?" Everyone was stunned. These people were all bloodthirsty and vicious people. They were not to be trifled with.
"Let's get out of here." Qi Shaowen said nervously, "We don't want to wait for them to come back. That would be troublesome."
"Tang Zheng, we can only count on you to protect us."
"Yes, Tang Zheng. You're the champion of the Martial Arts Circle Competition. You can protect us, right?" Everyone looked at Tang Zheng eagerly.
Tang Zheng was as clear as a mirror. It seemed that his identity was exposed. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I'll do my best. But this mission is dangerous. I think it's best to leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"No, we've already come this far. We can't back out. Besides, we're already lost. It's not that easy to go back. We can only move forward based on our intuition. I've studied it carefully before. I think it's this way." Qi Shaowen pointed in a direction.
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Qi Shaowen was very experienced. The direction he pointed was the direction of the witch tribe. However, they did not give up. Tang Zheng did not mind. After all, the witch tribe was protected by the illusion formation. It was impossible for them to break through it.
The group continued to move forward. Tang Zheng walked in front to scout the way. They were already deep in the mountains. There were obviously more ferocious beasts, but they were all defeated by Tang Zheng. When night fell, Tang Zheng even killed a wild boar for everyone's dinner.
Everyone set up their tents and rested. Tang Zheng stayed by the campfire. Xiao Bai rested on his shoulder.
The night was full of shadows. It was as if there were many ferocious beasts watching their team in the dark. Tang Zheng closed his eyes to rest. He was not affected at all.
Suddenly, Qi Shaowen walked to him and sat down. He said slowly, "Tang Zheng, you've been in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for two days. How do you feel?"
"It's okay. The scenery here is different from the city. It's a different experience," Tang Zheng said calmly.
Qi Shaowen smiled and said, "You think it's easy. But this journey is so dangerous. This is something I didn't expect. To be honest, I don't know if we'll be able to make it out alive."
"Ah, Professor Qi, don't be so pessimistic. If we can come in, we can definitely get out."
Qi Shaowen shook his head and said, "Don't be so optimistic. Let me tell you, all the instruments are malfunctioning. I'm just following my gut. I'm not sure if I can find the ancient site. But this is a big discovery in the archaeology world. No matter how difficult it is, I'll try. "
Tang Zheng could understand Qi Shaowen's feelings. However, this was related to the Witch Tribe's order. He could not compromise. He could only apologize in his heart.
Of course, he would not let these people die here. When the time came, he would bring them out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"Tang Zheng, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for me to bring you here. You won't blame me, right?" Qi Shaowen asked. He felt a little guilty.
Tang Zheng said casually, "Professor Qi, I should thank you for giving me this opportunity. Why would I blame you?"
"I'm glad you don't blame me. You should rest early." Qi Shaowen stood up.
"It's okay. I'll rest here tonight in case the beasts come."
"Thank you for your hard work."
The night was uneventful. At dawn, everyone got up and washed up. They knew that according to the plan, they were not far from their destination. As long as they were in the right direction, they would arrive at their destination in a little while.
While everyone was washing up, a sudden rush of footsteps came from afar. Everyone's nerves immediately tensed.
"Someone's coming!"
"Everyone, be careful. Hide." Tang Zheng did not know who was coming and hurriedly shouted.
Immediately, everyone looked for a place to hide. They craned their necks and looked in the direction of the footsteps. After a while, a small group of people came over.
"Ah, it's Lu Ming and the others." The crowd let out a cry of alarm and ran out one after another. The people who came were indeed Lu Ming and the others. However, these people were in a very sorry state and looked exhausted. More importantly, there were only ten people left in the original team of thirty people.
When these people saw Tang Zheng and the others, they all had a look of disbelief. They rushed over and the others quickly went up to help those who were staggering.
"You're finally here. Where are the others? Why are there only a few of you?" Professor Qi supported Lu Ming and asked with concern.
Lu Ming's face was a little pale. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the crowd and found that the other party was not missing people. He could not help but be surprised.
"Wah, the others are all dead." Someone sat on the ground and burst into tears.
"What, they're all dead?" Qi Shaowen was shocked. Twenty people had died. That was a great loss.
"If we didn't find the note you left behind, we wouldn't have been able to walk out. We would all have died there." Someone else said.
Lu Ming's expression gradually turned cold. He looked at the crowd and asked, "How come none of you are dead? How did you do it?"
