Chapter 609: Chapter 609
"Lin Chen, we should wait for the detector to arrive," Fei Lei couldn't help saying.
However, at that moment, Lin Chen had already stepped into the minefield, making a mark with each step he took.
Everyone was on edge, but Lin Chen himself seemed quite relaxed.
The densely buried landmines posed no threat, as they were all visible to Lin Chen's clairvoyant eye.
Soon, Lin Chen had effortlessly crossed the minefield.
"Wow, does this guy have some other special power? How else could he know where the mines are?" Fei Lei said, his mouth agape in astonishment.
"Now you know why he's the deputy leader instead of you. There's the difference!" Sha Kun said with a laugh.
Yet, there was a sharp glint in Sha Kun's eyes, for his special ability was an extraordinary computation power. Lin Chen had taken 523 steps, each one steady and even,
which meant that Lin Chen had made each move decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
"There's only one possibility: Lin Chen knows exactly where the mines are. This guy is simply too strong."
Everyone followed the markers left by Lin Chen and passed through the minefield safely.
From here on, they could only proceed on foot.
At that moment, several birds flew to Luo Xin, chirping away.
Luo Xin took out some millet and scattered it on the ground as a reward for them.
Then Luo Xin spoke with seriousness, "It seems they've discovered us. There's an ambush one kilometer up ahead."
"To be discovered so soon, there must be a mole in the military," Xu Jiayi said coldly.
"Those military guys are utterly corrupt, leaking information for sure," Sha Kun snorted.
"What does it matter if there's a leak? We'll just fight our way through," Fei Lei said, his fists colliding with a display of dominance.
Sha Kun pulled out a laptop and a drone from his backpack.
Under his control, the drone took to the sky.
Quickly, a structural map of the forest in a radius of several miles appeared on Sha Kun's laptop.
In a corner of the jungle, twelve people were lurking in the bushes.
These people thought they were the predators, the hunters, but from the moment the battle started, their roles had reversed—they had become the prey waiting to be slaughtered.
Lin Chen, looking at Sha Kun's laptop screen, said, "Let's divide the tasks. Sha Kun, Xu Jiayi, and I will be one team, Fei Lei, Luo Xin, and Ado another. We'll encircle them from both sides."
"Yes!" the other five responded in unison, their voices deep.
Lin Chen then turned to Luo Xin, "Can you control large wild animals? Like wolves, for instance?"
Luo Xin nodded, "Of course, no problem."
Lin Chen smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, the other side probably has a clairvoyant. You control six wolves and use our original route to lure them out."
Everyone was fully convinced by Lin Chen's strategy, especially Fei Lei, who had previously been somewhat resentful of Lin Chen taking the position of deputy leader. Now, he was growing more and more impressed by Lin Chen.
According to Lin Chen's plan, the six of them acted swiftly, swiftly approaching the Poison Village 'Martial Artists'.
At that moment, the individuals of Poison Village were ready for battle. A middle-aged man dressed as a monk asked sternly, "How far away are they now?"
"They're about to enter the encirclement," a seductively beautiful woman by his side said with a smile.
Just then, her gaze sharpened, "Here they come."
The monk shouted coldly, "Kill them!"
A barrage of attacks burst forth, but when they saw the arriving 'prey,' the monk's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Damn, we've been tricked,"
Almost simultaneously, a crisp gunshot suddenly rang out.
A bullet sped towards the monk's head.
Accompanied by the sound of metal striking, the bullet astonishingly stopped just a few centimeters from the monk's head.
A golden shield appeared on the surface of his skin, reflecting the bullet back.
While everyone's attention was drawn to the attacked monk, a drone quietly flew over their heads and dropped several round, colorful balls.
Seeing the balls dropped from the sky, the monk's face changed dramatically.
The ball exploded in midair, and the whole jungle was shrouded in smoke.
In the smoke, it was dim, and almost nothing could be seen in front of them.
In that instant, a dark shadow rushed into the fog, and immediately, there was a flash of golden light.
This fog was deadly to the people with supernatural abilities from Poison Village; it completely limited their performance, but for Lin Chen, it was a natural barrier.
A golden net instantly enveloped the jungle.
Almost the moment the fog cleared, the golden net suddenly tightened, and those several Poison Village power-users were bound tightly before they could even react, losing their ability to resist.
From a distance, Xu Jiayi and Sha Kun were instantly stunned, as the battle ended so effortlessly.
On the other side, the battle had already started, but it seemed that things were not going well there.
Fei Lei and another, Ado, were each entangled by two power-users, while Luo Xin was also being attacked by two power-users. Although he kept summoning beasts to defend, under the assault of two people from Poison Village, he was already struggling to hold on.
With a boom! Accompanied by two wolves being blasted away, Luo Xin had nothing left to shield himself.
"Die, kid," one power-user flipped his wrist, and a vine shot out, tightly wrapping around Luo Xin.
The other person produced a sharp ice blade in his hand and stabbed towards Luo Xin.
"Damn it!" Luo Xin's face dramatically changed, wanting to dodge but unable to move because he was bound by the vines.
Just then, a burst of intense flame sprayed out, severing the vines binding Luo Xin.
And the next instant, Lin Chen appeared in front of Luo Xin, spitting out a tongue of fire and striking the ice-powered assailant, sending him flying.
"Bastard!" The other power-user saw his companion sent flying and his face suddenly became ugly.
Just as he was about to flee, he felt something restrain his feet, and his legs were entangled in a golden electric net.
A flash of golden light, and the martial artist was directly shocked into unconsciousness.
With Lin Chen's entry into the battle, the situation quickly changed, and the other four power-users were soon subdued by them.
The entire battle ended smoothly in less than ten minutes.
"Wow, captain, you're too strong." The combat strength Lin Chen displayed in this battle left everyone astonished.
It should be noted that the opponents who had given Fei Lei and Ado such a headache were almost instantly wiped out by Lin Chen.
Now they realized that the young man before them was even more formidable than they had imagined.
Sara contacted the military to take custody of the prisoners, and the group was getting ready to move forward when Lin Chen, gazing into the depths of the jungle, had a serious look in his eyes.
The air around them became instantly colder, and a chill seemed to freeze their blood.
Seeing the man in a trench coat walking out, Lin Chen's eyes showed a trace of solemnity.
