Chapter 947 The Strange Mountain Hollow
As Jiang Jiyun and his group entered the woods, a sweltering heat hit them, making it hard to breathe.
After walking for a while, Hu Dahe wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, "The weather is so muggy today, it feels like it's going to rain."
Xiao Tian didn't hide anything from Hu Dahe and the others. He took out several bulletproof vests and helmets from his spatial storage and handed them to everyone.
Jiang Wenming said, "Put these on, just in case someone attacks. They'll offer some protection."
Everyone took the bulletproof vests and helmets and put them on. After that, Jiang Jiyun released Erhei from the space.
As soon as Erhei came out, it circled around in place a few times, getting familiar with its surroundings.
Then, after finding its direction, it ran straight in one direction.
Jiang Wenming and the others quickly followed behind Erhei, while Xiaotian carried Jiang Jiyun on his back and hurriedly caught up with his uncle and the others ahead.
They followed Erhei around in the woods for a while, and finally came to the edge of a mountain hollow.
Erhei stopped at the edge of the mountain hollow and did not go any further.
Jiang Jiyun jumped off Xiao Tian's back and walked to Er Hei's side.
Just as Erhei was about to bark, Jiang Jiyun sent it back into the space.
Sun Jiaguo carefully walked around and checked the surroundings. After a while, he hurriedly ran back.
With a serious expression, he said to everyone, "Uncle, there are people patrolling around here. We can't let them find us. We need to find a place to hide quickly!"
After hearing this, Jiang Jiyun frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said to everyone, "How about this, you all go into the space and hide first. I will stay outside to observe the situation. If there is any danger, I can hide in the space at any time."
However, Jiang Wenming firmly shook his head, indicating that he disagreed with Jiang Jiyun's decision.
He said, "That won't do! Your brother specifically instructed that someone must stay close to you and protect your safety. So, let me go with you outside; that way, I'll feel more at ease."
Oda also stepped forward to express his opinion.
He looked at Jiang Wenming and said earnestly, "Uncle, I think it's better for me to be out there. I'm skilled in martial arts, and my reaction speed is much faster than yours. If any unexpected situation arises, I can handle it better."
Jiang Jiyun sent the three people into the space, and she and Xiaotian followed closely behind. They quickly changed into ghillie suits and then silently reappeared in the grass.
Using their surroundings as cover, they slowly moved towards the bottom of the valley.
Every step was taken with utmost care, as if afraid of making the slightest noise and revealing their whereabouts.
At this moment, the three people who had been following Jiang Jiyun and his group arrived at the spot where they had just stood after discovering that their target had suddenly disappeared.
They looked puzzled, glancing left and right, but couldn't find a trace of Jiang Jiyun and his group.
"Hey, where did everyone go?" one of them exclaimed in surprise.
“There’s definitely something wrong here.” The other person frowned, cautiously observing their surroundings.
"Someone's coming! Hide!" the third person suddenly whispered.
The three men quickly hid in the bushes, not daring to make a sound.
Before long, they saw several hunters carrying guns slowly walk past them.
Although these hunters looked ordinary, the three men could sense a menacing aura emanating from them.
Although these hunters tried to conceal it, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that they were no good people and probably had a lot of lives on their hands.
No sooner had the hunters left than one of the followers couldn't contain himself and crept out of the bushes.
However, just as his head peeked out of the grass, before he could even see his surroundings clearly, he heard a gunshot.
"boom!"
The sudden gunshot echoed through the silent mountain forest.
The person who peeked out didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell straight to the ground as if struck by a heavy hammer. Blood gushed from his head, staining the grass beneath him red.
The other two people who hadn't moved watched this scene in horror, their eyes wide open and their faces filled with disbelief.
They never imagined that their comrade would be shot in the head and die in an instant.
Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Tian were crawling carefully when suddenly they heard gunshots.
Their bodies froze instantly, and they dared not move an inch.
Xiaotian reacted very quickly; he swiftly shielded the child beside him with his own body, holding him tightly in his arms.
His gaze was fixed on the direction from which the gunshot came, and he lowered his voice to say to Jiang Jiyun, "Judging from that sound, it doesn't sound like a Type 38 rifle, but rather like the kind of sniper rifle you use. I think the people following us have definitely been targeted by a sniper."
Jiang Jiyun's expression turned serious. She lay on the ground and asked, "Brother Tian, do you think we were spotted by that sniper just now? Oh dear, we were so careless!"
Xiao Tian reassured him, "Don't worry, the sniper should be among those patrolling men. We just managed to avoid them, so we shouldn't have been spotted."
However, just as they were speaking in hushed tones, another burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.
Oda sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that none of the people who were following us managed to escape."
Jiang Jiyuan observed the situation below through binoculars. "Continue climbing over there. I found steps in that ravine. Although they were covered by grass, I could still vaguely see them. Those people should be down there."
Oda kept a close eye on the commotion above. He saw several people dragging three corpses eastward, while the rest remained highly alert, cautiously looking around.
A wave of regret washed over Xiaotian, and he murmured to himself, "In the end, we still couldn't save them..."
Jiang Jiyun, who was crawling, suddenly stopped. She had not expected that the people would be discovered so quickly.
Jiang Jiyun sighed helplessly and continued to climb forward. However, in the instant she relaxed her vigilance slightly, her body suddenly lost its support and she fell headfirst into a dark cave.
Fearing being discovered by the patrolling officers above, Jiang Jiyun dared not make any loud noises, worried that the sounds she made would reveal Xiao Tian's location.
Xiao Tian watched as the patrolmen left the area and continued their patrols elsewhere before turning around to search for Jiang Jiyun's whereabouts.
He looked around and only saw the tracks left by Jiang Jiyun as she crawled, so he mistakenly assumed that she continued to crawl forward alone.
Xiao Tian was surprised by Jiang Jiyun's speed and muttered to himself, "Huh? How can she climb so fast? In such a short time, she can't even see a shadow of a person."
