Chapter 42 Ambush
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the dark room, and Lin Tian was getting a little impatient.
Could this guy be lying to me?
Just then, Guangmou suddenly came to Lin Tian's ear and whispered a few words.
"Your Majesty, someone has entered the dark room!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian immediately perked up. However, what puzzled him was that he hadn't seen anyone enter through the main gate. How did that person slip past him right under his nose?
"I heard from the little snake I put inside that someone has quietly entered the house through the back door!"
Upon hearing what Guangmou said, Lin Tian suddenly realized why he hadn't seen anyone after squatting for so long—someone had used connections.
Seeing this, Lin Tian glared fiercely at the top of the masked man's head, while the man wore a wronged expression that seemed to say, "I don't know either."
"How many are there?"
"One."
"go!"
Now that the man had entered the house, Lin Tian knew that things could not be delayed any longer, so he quickly led his team inside.
boom!
"Check the water meter!"
With a loud bang, Lin Tian kicked open the door of the small dark room, then took out a torch from his system inventory. As the torch was lit, the scene inside the room was completely visible to Lin Tian.
"You are!"
"You are!"
"Number 11!"
"Number eight!"
Both looked at each other's masks with surprise in their eyes.
Lin Tian never expected that the mastermind behind the deal with the masked leader was actually Number 11, the middle-aged man who had a falling out with the red-faced man at the tavern gathering.
There was no time to marvel at how small the world was! Seeing the middle-aged man make a move to run away, Lin Tian instantly cast a freezing spell, fixing him in place.
Lin Tian naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He immediately took out two weapons from his system space: his own staff and the giant axe of the Guardian. Guang Mou also silently recited incantations in his mind.
The three didn't need to say much; a single glance was enough for them to understand each other. After all, outnumbering the enemy was their traditional skill!
Since the room wasn't very big, the three of them arrived in front of the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye. Gu Huyuan slashed horizontally with his giant axe from the side, Lin Tian cleaved vertically with his long staff from the front, and Guangmou operated purple missiles to attack from behind.
Because he was immobilized by the spell and couldn't move, the middle-aged man silently endured the heavy blows from the three men, proving himself to be a true hero!
The immobilization spell wasn't very high-level, and it wasn't very effective against someone at the Bronze rank. So, after the three attacks were completed, a crisp sound rang out, and as the golden light shattered, the middle-aged man broke free from his restraints.
The moment he broke free of his restraints, all the middle-aged man could think about was running, but his body was out of control. His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
"Cough~"
Fortunately, he was a strongman, and his physical abilities were much better than those of other superhumans of the same level. Even though he was tortured by the three of them, he did not faint immediately.
In the critical moment, he slammed his hands on the ground, the veins on his arms bulging like steel bars, and with all his might, he threw his body out, instantly creating a small distance between himself and the three.
"Red-faced one, save me!"
Knowing he no longer had the strength to escape, the middle-aged man shouted outside.
He can only place his hopes on his accomplices now.
The red-faced man hiding in the shadows did not come forward to help him despite his shouts, because at that moment there was a stone amulet at his waist, which was faintly glowing.
His brother was a fortune teller, and this talisman was made by his brother. Its effect is to predict good or bad fortune in the short term. If the wearer is in danger of death in the near future, the stone will light up to foretell the danger and help the wearer avoid misfortune.
He originally wanted to step forward to help, because although the stone was slightly glowing at first, it wasn't very strong. The stone wasn't 100% accurate; unless one reached an extremely high level, no one could predict the future. It played more of an auxiliary role.
However, just as the middle-aged man shouted, "Red-faced, save me!" the amulet at his waist suddenly began to tremble, turning a bright red in an instant. This change made him shudder. Although the stone wasn't 100% accurate, he absolutely dared not approach this situation.
They'll definitely die!
"Fuck me!"
Seeing that the red-faced man hadn't come out to help him for a long time, the middle-aged man cursed angrily. Seeing that the three men were about to catch up, the middle-aged man began to panic. He didn't want to die here, especially not in such an unclear way.
"you........."
Just then, a fire snake flew out from behind the middle-aged man. Upon seeing the fire snake, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He knew that the red-faced man had come to help him.
A surge of joy welled up inside him, but it didn't last long, because the trajectory of the fire serpent was clearly not aimed at the person behind him, but rather straight at him.
"Red-faced bastard..."
He knew the red-faced man wanted to kill him to silence him. The two already had a bad relationship, and now, the red-faced man was even less likely to let him go.
Before the middle-aged man could finish cursing, the fire snake bit his shoulder, and a large amount of flames entered his body from the snake's teeth, burning his internal organs.
The middle-aged man, who was already severely injured, naturally could not withstand this attack. Seeing that he was about to die, Lin Tian couldn't sit still any longer.
No, bro, you're K-head, right?
Lin Tian unleashed all his strength and rushed out instantly, delivering a final blow to the middle-aged man before he died.
【Spiritual Essence*1563】
That was close! I almost got headshot.
Lin Tian saw the system notification and finally breathed a sigh of relief. More than 1000 spiritual essences were no small amount. If the other side had taken them, he would have been heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, the man has escaped!"
Guangmou arrived at Lin Tian's side at this moment. He had taken action when the fire snake appeared, but he failed to catch up with the other side.
"Well, since they've already run away, there's nothing we can do about it."
Lin Tian felt a little regretful. This operation not only failed to capture any survivors, but also allowed one of them to escape. However, since it had already happened, there was nothing that could be done.
Although the transaction route was cut off, he learned from the masked leader that the matter was related to the mayor, so he only needed to focus on the mayor from now on.
"Go back first!"
After thinking it over, Lin Tian felt that the town mayor was not easy to deal with, so he decided to go back and improve his strength first. He would either not make a move at all, or he would take care of the town mayor as soon as he made a move.
