Chapter 102: Head is Off As Leaves Fall, Who Is He! (5)

It could not be helped. Maple Ridge was a famous bandit’s nest back then. The bandits were like rats. Not only did they dig the entire mountain full of holes, but they also opened up fragmented fields in a slightly flat place on the mountain.

In order to make it easier to take care of these fields, they built various simple stone houses and wooden sheds near the fields.

After so many years, the fields opened by the bandits had returned to the forest, but the ugly stone houses in groups of three to five still existed, and they were everywhere in the mountain.

Maple Ridge itself was a stone mountain. There was rubble everywhere. After so many years of wind and rain, those stone houses were already covered in moss and mixed with the surrounding rubble. They might not even be able to distinguish accurately during the day, let alone at night.

Su Yun did not recognize it just now. If he had not heard Xu Jiajia’s sudden cry for help, he would have really missed it. He looked down at the shallow depression not far away. On three sides of the depression were mountain ridges, and only the terrain in the south was relatively flat.

He knew that Xu Jiajia was in that depression, but he could not tell the exact location. On closer look, he could still distinguish a few hidden lights from the cracks in the surrounding stone pile. Clearly, there were others here.

Su Yun did not advance rashly. Although Xu Jiajia was shouting for help just now, she did not seem to be in danger. Instead, she seemed to be bored from being locked up and shouted to vent her emotions.

This made Su Yun a little gratified. Xu Jiajia was indeed as he had expected. She was not in danger. From the sound of it, she did not even suffer any bad treatment. However, this gratification was not enough to erase the killing intent in Su Yun’s heart. His killing intent was still as firm as before.

Xu Jiajia was not his girlfriend, but she was still his closest friend in this world. The words, crimes do not implicate family, were suitable here.

He had already made up his mind to kill, but Su Yun remained calm. He knew very well that although tomb raiders sounded like lowly thieves, the group of tomb raiders in front of him were actually bandits. He could tell from Master Gu’s words.

After all, Master Gu had worked with the other party “a few times”.

With Master Gu’s eyes, it was obvious that he did not fancy some worthless toys. Moreover, the other party would not find Master Gu to help appraise and value some ordinary funerary items. They had stolen precious cultural relics many times, but they had yet to be arrested by the police. This meant that the other party was very likely to be highly organized and professional.

In addition, they definitely knew that they had committed a serious crime.

Once they sensed danger, they would definitely not hesitate to attack.

In fact, their specialization had already been reflected.

Su Yun looked at a tree about 20 meters away from him on the south side of the hollow.

Relying on his sharp hearing and vision, he could see a black shadow hidden in the treetop. He could also hear the occasional cough in the other party’s throat and the slight rubbing of his hands.

His voice was very soft and was caught in the whistling mountain wind. It was very easy to be ignored. The weather was slightly cold and the mountain breeze was strong. In this weather and environment, standing outside in the wind and enduring the bites of mosquitoes was clearly not a pleasant thing. However, the other party hid on the tree and only curled up in the lee of the tree trunk, not returning to the stone house to rest.

He even knew how to suppress his cough.

This was a hidden sentry. It was really surprising that a group of tomb raiders could be so professional.

It was impossible to pass through this hidden sentry silently and enter the hollow because there were bare stone beams on three sides of the hollow. He could only walk on a relatively flat road under the secret sentry’s feet.

So he had to get rid of this hidden sentry first. Moreover, he had to kill him in one strike. He could not leave any chance for the other party to alert the others.

Su Yun listened to the movements around him again. After confirming that there was only one criminal guarding the area, he flashed away from the treetop where he was hiding. He swaggered towards the secret sentry post.

The mountain wind and darkness covered his figure. He approached the other party until he was about ten meters away. The sound of stepping on fallen leaves finally attracted the other party’s attention.

“Who?” A low shout sounded coldly. If an ordinary person walked here, they would definitely be shocked by this voice.

However, Su Yun had long known of his existence. As he did not stop walking, he said casually in a low voice, “It’s me. Is Boss here?”

The criminal was stunned. He didn’t seem to recognize this voice, but there was no panic or surprise in it. There was only a natural calmness. This calmness puzzled the criminal and made him hesitate.

Could it be that he had heard wrongly? Was this really his accomplice? He subconsciously said, “Yes. Are you Old Ghost or Gang Zi?”

“Guess.” Su Yun’s tone was relaxed, but there was no sign of relaxation between his eyebrows. All he had was a cold expression.

“Guess your head!” This ease infected the hidden sentry. He stuck his head out of the tree angrily, wanting to see which bastard was teasing him.

With the help of the starlight in the sky, he saw a figure in a hoodie five meters away, like his idol, Zhang Qiling. The other party’s face was hidden behind a face cloth, and he had a hoodie on his head. The only thing the criminal could see clearly was the other party’s extremely bright and cold eyes.

“Oh no!” The criminal suddenly reacted. He was about to send out a warning when the figure on the ground suddenly moved slightly, and his windbreaker suddenly swayed.

The hidden sentry felt a shadow brush past his ear, bringing with it a chill. The hidden sentry was no longer in the mood to care about this. He quickly grabbed a whistle hanging around his neck and blew it desperately.

However, the copper whistle did not emit the crisp whistle he had expected.

Instead, it was replaced by a strange sound, as if something was leaking air.

A weak feeling suddenly assaulted him. His feet suddenly went limp and he fell.

With a plop, he fell down the tree weakly and landed on the ground, splashing red leaves. The hidden sentry reached for his throat in confusion. There was no external wound on his throat, but he could feel his life force quickly fading.

The next second, his eyes widened. He was at the scene when Three died. He saw Three’s throat being cut open and blood gushing out.

Clearly, he had followed in Three’s footsteps!

The problem was that other than the wisp of wind that flashed past his ears, he did not sense anything unusual.

What kind of weapon did the other party use?!
