Night crept in, thick clouds obscured the light of the stars and moon, and the entire Pirate Canyon was immersed in darkness.

A group of armed men, using night vision gear, quickly approached Pirate Mountain. There were only three armed men in this group, and there was also a team of three people in each of the other three directions of Pirate Mountain, and they had already sealed off Pirate Mountain.

In addition to these four teams blocking Pirate Mountain, George Warward and Daihana Yamamoto also brought Wilson and sniper Yuhito Kato. He and Daika Yamamoto are both from Hokkaido, the island country of Toei, and they are fellow countrymen in the true sense of the word.

The four men were in their own group and played the role of dispatch command, long-range reconnaissance and long-range fire support. It was also because of this role that the four men walked behind the other armed men, about fifty meters apart.

Pirate Mountain is right in front of you, like a huge tombstone standing under the dark sky, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Wilson put down the night vision binoculars in his hand and shook his head, "There are no targets found at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, or at the top of the mountain, and there are images of heat imaging in the mountainside forest, but they are all wild beasts." ”

"Keep searching, I'm sure Ling Xiao and that girl are nearby." Daihana Yamamoto said, looking confident.

George Warward said to the sniper: "Kato Yuhito, you go find a suitable location." If you find a target, you can shoot them in the leg without killing them. ”

Kato nodded in response and left with his light sniper rifle.

"Let's go to Pirate Mountain, I have a way to lure Ling Xiao out." Daihana Yamamoto said.

George Warward smiled, "Tonight is when we close the net, and those two little fish can't escape." ”

The trio made their way to Pirate Mountain.

Kato made his way through a dense forest and stopped near the ruins of a pirate town. He looked around and quickly picked a sniper spot, which was a tall pine tree. The straight trunk towered into the sky at a height of at least twenty meters, and the surrounding trees seemed very small, as long as he climbed this pine tree, his vision would be very open.

Coming to the foot of the tree, Kato put the sniper rifle on his back, took out the rope-throwing crossbow, and pulled the trigger on the trunk of the tree at a high place. The crossbow bolt carrying the rope pierced the high tree trunk with precision, and he tugged at it, making sure it was secure, and then grabbed the rope and climbed up.

Five meters, ten meters, just as Kato was about to climb under the canopy of the pine tree, a terrifying pulling force suddenly came from the rope. In just one moment, the crossbow bolt that pierced into the trunk fell off the trunk, and Yuhito Kato fell from a height of more than ten meters with a scream.

Bang! With a dull thud, Kato Yuhito's back slammed into the ground, and although there was a backpack and a thick layer of dead branches and leaves to reduce the force of the impact, the concussion damage to his brain and internal organs was unavoidable, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted before he could figure out what was going on.

Ling Xiao took all the equipment from Kato Youren's body, including night vision helmets, light sniper rifles, pistols, military daggers, rope-throwing crossbows, and communicators. Finally, he took down Kato Yuhito's backpack.

The backpack contained a silencer, an ammunition box, regular ammunition for sniper rifles, and military tranquilizer rounds. In addition to the ammunition box, there are other items, food, medicine, etc.

"Really well prepared, with a tranquilizer bomb, do you want to capture me alive? We'll see. A sneer appeared at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth.

The equipment that Kato carried was just right for him to use, especially the communicator and tranquilizer bombs connected to the individual radio, which were very useful for him.

After the last, Ling Xiao also took off the bulletproof vest on Kato Youren and temporarily put it on his own body. After meeting up with Janie, he would give her the bulletproof vest, and she needed the protection of the bulletproof vest more than he did.

Yuhito Kato is still in a coma.

Ling Xiao put his fingers between Kato Yuren's nostrils to probe his breathing, and then did an internal force probe for Kato Yuren. Kato Yuhito's lumbar spine has been seriously injured, and I am afraid that I will never want to walk on my feet for the rest of my life.

"Well deserved." Ling Xiao didn't do any treatment, turned around and left.

He probed Kato Yuren's internal pulse out of the prevention of Kato Yuren waking up prematurely to warn his companions, not to treat Kato Yuren. He gets the conclusion he wants, and his goal is achieved, and as for the life or death of Kato Yuhito, then leave it to God to decide.

With Kato Yuhito's full set of equipment, Ling Xiao cautiously sneaked towards the foot of Pirate Mountain. In the process, he replaced the magazine of his light sniper rifle with special tranquilizer ammunition and installed a silencer. This light sniper rifle is similar to the SVD semi-automatic sniper rifle of the former Soviet Union, carrying a ten-round magazine that can be fired in bursts, which is very practical.

From time to time, the communicator heard the sound of armed men reporting their directions and search results, as well as the voice of George Warward commanding and dispatching. With the information that the armed men had reported to George Warward through the communicator, Ling Xiao could easily grasp their location and the direction in which they were heading.

After pondering a little in his heart, Ling Xiao bypassed the direction directly opposite the valley mouth and sneaked towards the south side.

On the south side, three armed men were searching the area on foot. They all wear night vision helmets, which have the function of thermal imaging, except for cold-blooded animals such as snakes, which they can't see, and the rest of the warm-blooded animals can't escape their search.

This kind of night vision helmet Ling Xiao also has, and he can not be detected by the other party when he is covered in mud, but the other party can't escape his eyes.

Entering the south area, Ling Xiao's speed increased decisively, and many times he almost ran forward. Breaking them one by one was the best strategy for him, but if the other party gathered together, a dozen powerful rifles, and grenade launchers, it was not something he was willing to face.

Ling Xiao soon saw the three searching armed men, and the three armed men searched forward while reporting their location with the communicator. Between the three of them, there is a distance of more than ten meters.

"If I take one down, when will the other two react? Two seconds or three seconds? If I'm fast enough, I'll be able to knock the other two down before they can react. Ling Xiao thought secretly in his heart.

Although the rate of fire of a semi-automatic sniper rifle cannot be compared with the rate of fire of a fully automatic firearm, the rate of fire is also very fast, and theoretically how fast the finger pulls the trigger is, then the rate of fire of a semi-automatic sniper rifle is as fast as possible. So, will the reaction of those three armed men be as fast as his fingers?

The rate of fire is not a problem, but the location of the shot is a very important problem that needs to be solved. If you shoot on flat ground, there are a lot of trees in the forest, and in the event of a defeat, the target can find cover at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to find a high place suitable for sniping and shooting.

Ling Xiao looked around, and soon found a huge tree, and then quickly moved over.

In fact, this knowledge related to the battle is also thanks to the experience on Funfjord Island - books are the way for humans to acquire knowledge, and he has a library hidden in his brain!

In order to reduce the sound of action, Ling Xiao gave up the idea of climbing up the tree himself, and he used the rope throwing crossbow he got from Kato Yuhito. He pulled the trigger on a branch in the canopy, and the crossbow bolt carrying the rope flew out with a whizz, firmly into the thick branch. After that, he grabbed the rope and climbed under the canopy with great ease.

The tree he chose was somewhat similar to the tree chosen by Kato Yuhito, both of which were large trees that were much larger than the surrounding trees, and standing under the canopy, he could see the surrounding situation at a glance.

Climbing up the tree, the condescending view easily catches the three armed men.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and aimed at one of the armed men and pulled the trigger. After one shot, he adjusted the muzzle of his gun, and quickly aimed at two targets, then a third. Three shots and three targets, from start to finish, he only took three seconds.

The three armed men didn't expect someone to sneak up on them with sniper rifles and tranquilizer rounds from behind, so they fell to the ground without even a normal reaction.

Ling Xiao grabbed the rope and slid down the tree trunk, put away the rope-throwing crossbow, and then walked towards the three armed men.

All three armed men were anesthetized with tranquilizer shells and were unconscious.

Ling Xiao took off their weapons and hung them all on his own. The communicators of the three armed men were thrown far away by him.

In the process of throwing away the communicator, he heard the voice of Wilson, who was in charge of the individual radio. Wilson was asking why he didn't report the location and search situation, but Ling Xiao didn't respond to him, and directly threw the three communicators far away.

After knocking down the three armed men on the south side, Ling Xiao ran wildly all the way, quickly approaching the north side. Before he could get close to the expected position, the three armed men in charge of searching the north side had already received instructions and rushed over to check the situation on the south side.

They came just in time, saving Ling Xiao time to advance on the north side of the king.

In the same way, Ling Xiao used three tranquilizer bullets to deal with the three armed men who rushed over from the north side.

This time, he chose to snipe at the tree, and only when the three armed men passed under the tree and turned their backs to him did he shoot at a rapid pace, knocking them out in the blink of an eye.

Coming down from the tree, Ling Xiao replenished the magazine with six tranquilizer rounds, then walked over to the three armed men, took off their weapons and communicators, and threw them far away. After that, he made another advance to the east.

He'd taken down seven armed men, two search teams, a sniper, and now two search teams remained, along with George Warward and the snitch. However, the further he went, the more difficult his actions became, because he could not contact the six armed men, and the other party would definitely be suspicious. Therefore, he didn't dare to be careless, and every second counted!

The east side of Pirate Mountain is in the direction of the canyon exit, where George Warward and the snitch are. Ling Xiao observed it very clearly. Voices coming from the communicator also indicated that George Warward was moving the remaining two search teams to the east. He must take down as many of the opposing combatants as possible before they converge.

"Ling Xiao, is that you?" Suddenly, George Warward's voice came from the communicator.

Ling Xiao didn't answer, he knew that the other party was just tempting.

"Surrender, you can't escape, we've got your girlfriend." George Warward's voice, "I'll give you a minute to think about it, and if you don't surrender, I'll kill your girlfriend." ”

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, still ignoring George Warward's temptation.
