That's right, the one who was killed was the so-called Old Six. He had been lying in ambush in the snow, waiting for an opportunity. Finally, Huangfu Xueli approached. Just as he was about to make a move, he was killed without a sound. From when he was alive, he had been lying in ambush in the snow. After he died, he was covered in snow and hadn't moved at all.
There was a lot of snow and his corpse soon melted into the snow. When the pointy-faced man ran over, he couldn't even find his corpse.
"What's going on? Where did Old Six go? Why didn't he attack?"
There was a bald man in the team. He was their second brother. They thought that their sixth brother could deal with Huangfu Xueli, but they didn't expect that they couldn't even find her.
"Don't ask. Old Six must have been killed by someone."
As the leader of the team, the pointy-faced man had his own methods. He immediately understood that it wasn't that Old Six didn't attack, but that he was killed. If he didn't die, how could he not attack? Even if he didn't attack, he should have at least greeted his big brother.
"What do you mean Big Brother? Are you saying that girl Huangfu Xueli killed Old Six?"
After the bald second brother heard this, he still didn't dare to believe it.
"Idiot, be careful. There is someone else here."
The pointy-faced man was stunned by his second brother's stupid words. He didn't even understand what he was saying. The person that could kill Old Six who was lying in ambush was obviously not Huangfu Xueli. Moreover, Huangfu Xueli had two female bodyguards following her. If she attacked, they wouldn't have been idle.
"That's impossible Big Brother. Are you saying that there is someone else here?"
The bald second brother still felt incredulous. This was because they only managed to sneak in with great difficulty because there were two people who had tipped them off. Even if someone had located them, there were still several people who failed to drill through the tunnel and were burned to death. How could someone else sneak in? Unless they were brought in by Huangfu Xueli.
But the Skymonster Region couldn't use space treasures to bring people in. Bringing in helpers below the World King realm wouldn't be of any use.
The pointy-faced man didn't speak. He drew his sword. All of his brothers understood what he meant with this action of his. The bald second brother wanted to say something, but as he saw the big brother draw his sword, he was scared and shut his mouth. If it wasn't a very serious matter, Boss definitely wouldn't draw his sword.
Although the bald man looked boorish, his weapon was very elegant. It wasn't a longsword or a broadsword, but two hooks. There was a loop at the back of the hook, which could be fastened to the wrist.
Huangfu Xueli was still walking forward at a constant speed, and the two female bodyguards were following closely behind her. Although they were exhausted, they still tried their best to persist. They were also depressed, wondering why their boss's team hadn't caught up yet. If this continued, the two of them would be frozen into popsicles.
The pointy-faced man was also anxious, but he did not dare to act rashly. This was because he understood his sixth brother's ability. To be able to kill his sixth brother in the snow, he was definitely an expert. Not only was he an expert in killing, but he was also an expert in concealment. If he wasn't on guard, he might be ambushed.
"Eh, where did Old Seven go?"
As they walked, someone muttered. At first, no one noticed, but when he asked, they all looked back. Because Old Seven was more alert, he was arranged to walk at the back of the team.
"Formation!"
The pointy-faced man was the first to react, and he immediately ordered everyone to form a formation. Old Seven was missing. He must have been killed. To be able to kill Old Seven at the back of the team without being discovered, his concealment ability must have reached a terrifying level.
"Big Brother, what should we do?"
Everyone in the team was a little flustered. It should be noted that the pointy-faced man was also there, but he was walking at the front of the team. In fact, the distance between the front and the back of the team was not far, but it was so close that their boss didn't even notice. Everyone felt a chill down their spine.
The whole team stopped and looked left and right in fear. After observing for a while, there was no trace of the enemy.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
The sudden sound startled everyone. Then, they saw that it was a message from the female bodyguards, urging them to hurry up. Because of the long delay, Huangfu Xueli was about to enter the other end of the tunnel.
"Let's go. This time, I'll walk at the back."
The pointy-faced man also became more careful. This time, he learned to walk at the back of the team. If there was a sneak attack, he would be the first to notice it. While walking, his eyes were fixed in front of him, so he wasn't afraid of the enemy sneak attack at the front of the team.
Because the female bodyguards were urging them, they had to speed up and move forward. Originally, this formation was quite good, but when they passed by a pile of snow, the bald man walking at the front of the team suddenly shouted.
"Ah, my leg!"
As soon as he shouted, he fell to the ground with a plop. Only then did everyone realize that his leg was broken from the ankle. They didn't know what sharp weapon injured him, but there was no trace of him. The enemy's position was very low, hidden in the snow, so it was impossible to notice. Because the snow was fluffy, every step they took would be over their ankles.
The bald man shouted and fell to the ground, and the person hiding in the snow would naturally be exposed. So, everyone used their weapons and attacked the snow. All kinds of weapons and spells were thrown at the snow. But apart from the splashing snow, nothing was hit. When they pulled the bald man up, they found that there was a bloody hole in his chest, and he was no longer alive.
Just as he fell to the ground, everyone panicked. Someone stabbed him in the chest, and his heart was crushed.
"Friend, if there's anything, we can discuss it. Sneaking around like this is not what a gentleman would do."
The pointy-faced man couldn't hold it in anymore. In just a short while, the sixth, seventh, and second brothers were all killed. If this continued, the brothers would all die. Even if it was the Undying Ray, their morale had already collapsed. Once their morale collapsed, they would be utterly defeated, and the team wouldn't be able to lead anymore.
"You bunch of men stalking a girl, is this what a gentleman would do?"
In the end, there was a response from the snow, but the sound came from a place far ahead, which meant that the other party had already gone ahead to wait for them.
"Chase after them!"
The pointy-faced man's words were to lure the enemy out, but he didn't expect the other party to fall for it. His reaction was quite fast, and he was the first to rush out with his sword. As long as he could face the enemy head-on, he wasn't afraid of anyone.
"Big brother, wait for us."
