"Hehe, bet you get captured as soon as you walk over, then taken to a specific area..."

"I don't believe there's really someone lurking ahead, and you even said it so accurately." Dongfang Jiajia snorted, then walked out under the gaze of Ye Hao and the others.

The Wine Saint anxiously said, "Boss, if there's really someone lurking on both sides, Jiajia might be in trouble going out like this."

"Yeah! Boss..."

"Alright, I know what I'm doing." Ye Hao waved his hand to stop them from talking, and then stealthily took out a half-finished sniper rifle, soaking the bullets in a can of water.

This is obviously not ordinary water; it's a concoction of various chemicals that Ye Hao refined, and once the bullets are soaked and fired from the gun, they'll turn into high-temperature bullets reaching over 800 degrees in an instant.

These bullets can burn through iron plates, let alone a human body...

Ye Hao took out the sniper rifle and soaked these bullets in preparation for any situation where he might need to fire quickly. If these high-temperature bullets hit the snow, the melting snow will expose anyone hidden from Ye Hao's scope, allowing him to snipe them easily.

Of course! Ye Hao did this just to protect Jiajia, not necessarily to melt the snowfields.

After all, Ye Hao's original bet with Dongfang Jiajia was for her to be captured by the opponent, then taken to their base.

Ye Hao could then follow them, reducing the time needed to locate Xu Shaoyuan and the others.

"What are you doing? Can bullets still attack effectively once they're wet?" Shuirou angrily asked, seeing how indifferently Ye Hao let Jiajia go out.

"Yeah Boss, doing this will just waste the bullets..."

Ye Hao just smiled at the words without responding, then propped the sniper rifle on the snow and began to meticulously search various high points in the distance.

Shuirou mockingly said upon seeing Ye Hao's serious demeanor, "Who are you kidding with this pretentiousness? In the sunlight, if the opponent is wearing white, it doesn't matter how clearly you aim."

The Wine Saint and the others nodded, but Ye Hao ignored them, continuing to aim ahead.

Because his sniper scope was actually a thermal detector, rather than a sight scope.

Thus, he could completely see the vague figures through the thermal detector, or, say, he could see what the opponent was doing, though not as clearly as a sight scope.

"Got nothing to say, right? See, Jiajia went out just fine, why put on an act?" Shuirou said, increasingly irritated while looking at Ye Hao.

But just as she finished speaking, she noticed some movement at several high points on the other side.

Although the movement wasn't large, for those possessing National Martial Arts like them, the visuals were naturally clear and bright.

"Moved." Shuirou said in astonishment, unable to believe there were indeed people hidden on the other side...

"Moved, Boss..." Carlo called out to Ye Hao.

"Shh!" Ye Hao turned and gestured for them to be silent.

They didn't know what Ye Hao intended to do, but since he wanted silence, they sensibly watched in stillness.

Walking towards the two sides of the canyon, at first, Dongfang Jiajia remained calm, but the further she went, her instincts told her not to proceed...

Because she too sensed several concealed presences ahead, though well hidden, they all possessed National Martial Arts, naturally able to sense each other slightly.

After taking ten more steps, she paused, then quickly retreated.

"Bang!"

A sniper shot rang out, but it didn't hit Dongfang Jiajia; rather, it landed on her retreat path, clearly warning her not to move, or else face instant death.

Dongfang Jiajia regretted silently, scolding herself for being so reckless, wondering why she didn't listen to Ye Hao and had to be willful.

Standing still in place, two people suddenly emerged from the path Dongfang Jiajia had just taken.

These two had weak presences, initially making Jiajia unaware of their front-line ambush.

Now these two appearing, if Jiajia guessed correctly, should be Jiepeng's ninjas.

Because only Jiepeng's Hermits knew how to use light and obstacles to hide themselves in the shadows.

"Hehe, another Huaxia pig. Looks like the third batch from Huaxia has arrived; let's capture and take her back!" one of the sneaky-looking Jiepeng individuals said in Jiepengese.

"Alright." The other moved lustfully towards Dongfang Jiajia step by step.

"Bang!"

Another sniper shot rang out, landing a meter behind Dongfang Jiajia, warning her to comply with them.

The sneaky Jiepeng individual gleamed, eyeing Jiajia's beauty, "Such a pretty girl, I hope Mr. Yamada lets me enjoy her before killing her..."

"Mr. Kawashima, let's catch her first. Mr. Yamada might consider letting us enjoy this lovely body of hers later."

"Fine then!" The sneaky Mr. Kawashima reluctantly took out a handful of powder from one pocket and sprinkled it on Dongfang Jiajia.

Upon smelling the powder, Jiajia instantly lost her strength.

She was stunned; initially thinking of fighting the two Jiepeng individuals to death but never anticipated losing all strength upon contact with their powder.

"Haha, this girl wanted to fight us! Luckily, we have the latest poison, or we might have fallen prey to her trick," Mr. Kawashima said playfully, looking at Dongfang Jiajia...

From afar, Ye Hao watched and laughed.

At this time, Shuirou pleaded, "Boss, Jiajia is about to be captured, save her quickly."

Ye Hao waved a hand, silencing Shuirou, for the play he wanted was about to begin.

"Move, little girl, don't think of resisting, or you'll die right here and now." Mr. Kawashima snorted, then, along with his partner, carried Jiajia towards the back of the canyon step by step.

Ye Hao laughed upon seeing this, then turned to the Wine Saint and others, saying, "See, there are seven vantage points ahead, with six having people. I'm giving you your first task now: once I leave, the six of you take out those at those six vantage points. Just snipe at the indicated locations—they'll die for sure." Ye Hao instructed, pointing out their exact positions.

They all nodded, indicating they'd accomplish the task... (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
