469 Chapter 469 Ambush
Chapter 469 Ambush
Not far ahead, there would be a key stronghold managed by a Red Heart Chamber of Commerce team leader.
Judging from the conversation on the walkie-talkie just now, it was likely that this guy wanted to keep Lu Yuâs bounty for himself. Therefore, he would not reveal Lu Yuâs whereabouts, as he would have to compete with the other team leaders.
...
âSo, should we wait for them here or continue forward?â
Lu Yu thought for a moment, looked at Xu Yuan, and said, âLetâs wait here. That guy wonât reveal our location now, but it might not be the case if he loses us.â
âSo, the best way is to get rid of him here, and maybe we can hide our tracks again.â
Xu Yuan nodded in agreement. âNo problem, weâll wait for him here and deal with him!â
âSince weâre going to wait for the enemy to come to our door, we must set up an ambush, or else weâll be wasting this opportunity.â Han Xuefei expressed her thoughts.
âI think Lu Yuâs undead warriors can surround the location while we hide in the ruins of the two houses to find an opportunity for an attack.â
Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei and nodded, saying, âThe plan works, but we canât be sure if heâll bring others over or not. Weâll have to adapt according to the situation. Yun Zirouâs crowd control skill and your telekinesis will be suitable for an ambush.â
âAlright, letâs start hiding.â
Under Lu Yuâs control, nearly 20 undead warriors gathered around him.
Lu Yu gave them the order to form a circle around the area. He then instructed them to dig holes and bury themselves in their spots.
They were already dead, and the flames on their bodies wouldnât go out. So even if they were buried deep underground, there wouldnât be any problem.
After that, Lu Yu and the rest found a place to hide. The ruins of the two houses were spacious enough for the five to hide.
After waiting for less than an hour, Lu Yu could hear the sound of horse hooves galloping.
Without a doubt, it must be the person. However, from the loud and irregular sounds, it didnât seem like he came alone. There were followers behind him.
At that moment, a group rushed over from the forest and reached the stronghold.
The leader was a muscular man who was 1.8 meters tall. His muscles were massive, and his black leather clothes were inlaid with numerous precious gems, as were his hands, which were choked full of rings.
There were several large gold chains around his neck. When he grinned, anyone could see his golden teeth.
Looking at his outfit, one could tell he was a nouveau riche who liked to show off.
He was riding a black horse with four others behind him, each on a horse.
âBrother Jianlong, are you sure this is the place?â
They all pulled on the reins and stopped the horses.
The leader was called Zhang Jianlong. Not only was he powerful, but he was wealthy beyond belief.
âThis is the place. Canât you see that the stronghold has been reduced to ruins?â He kicked the horse with his heel as he spoke and moved forward slowly.
âItâs sure strange. There must be a huge battle here just now, but to hell with it; thereâs not a single corpse!â
âBoss, theyâve buried all the corpses!â
âOf course, Iâm not blind. How can I not see it? The point is, why did they clean up the battlefield? â
âThey must have been afraid of the bossâs reputation, so they cleaned up the scene and immediately fled,â one of his subordinates said with a flattering smile.
âHaha, what youâve said does make some sense.â Zhang Jianlong couldnât help but smile.
âSearch the surrounding area. We must capture him alive!â He continued.
The underling was confused and asked, âBoss, why do we have to capture him alive? That guy killed a group of our brothers, so letâs just take revenge on him.â
Zhang Jianlong glared at him and said in a firm tone, âDonât talk about that again. Originally, the order I received was also to kill that guy.â
âBut for some reason, the order was changed. It was changed to capture him alive, no matter the situation!â
âWhat the hell, canât we just kill that bastard? Why do we need to capture him alive?â
Another person asked in confusion.
âIâve heard that the captain at headquarters was previously so furious that he wanted nothing more than to tear Lu Yu apart. But he suddenly changed his attitude and ordered us to capture Lu Yu alive. It doesnât seem right, no matter how I think about it.â
As one of the lackeys said that, another immediately retorted, âWhat do you know? Maybe the captain is so angry that he wants to torture him personally. Itâs normal. Maybe he just has this kind of interest.â
Their discussion was interrupted by Zhang Jianlong.
âCut the crap. Jiang Lintian isnât like that. He has a fiery temper, but he isnât the sort of person to torture someone slowly. Someone is clearly putting pressure on him!â
The two underlingsâ eyes widened. âWho dares order Jiang Lintian around?â
âDamn, what a shocker. I mean, no one in the four teams in these ancient ruins can have such commanding power!â
âYeah, even the princess of the Lionheart Empire doesnât have the status and power to order Jiang Lintian around.â
The underlings discussed heatedly, as this was a strange matter.
Zhang Jianlong didnât say a word and continued to move forward slowly.
Soon, they arrived at the ruins.
âCheck the place out and see if you can find any clues. We canât let Lu Yu escape, or weâll lose our bounty!â
âRoger that!â
A few underlings got off their horses and walked into the ruins.
They began to search the collapsed houses.
When one of them flipped open a huge stone slab, he was shocked to see a muscular man lying under it!
âEh? Thereâs actually someone here!â
Swoosh!
A cold light flashed, and a sword slashed out. The sword penetrated the personâs armor, and the sharp blade cut into his chest.
The person quickly pressed his hands against the sword to stop it from penetrating further.
âShit, someone ambushed me!â
Another three underlings saw this and rushed over to help.
However, the next moment, the gravel on the ground suddenly rose up and flipped toward the three of them.
âWhat? Controlling inanimate objects? Thereâs an esper here!â
âHow many enemies are there? This is an ambush!â
While the enemies were in disarray, Yun Zirou jumped out from the side and used her illusionary eyes to lock one of them in place. She then pulled out a dagger and rushed forward.
Just as Yun Zirou made her move, another person stepped in front of her to protect his teammate.
âWoman, youâre quite bold. How dare you ambush us?â
Just as he finished speaking, a light flashed and exploded in front of his eyes. The burst of glaring light caused his eyes to turn white.
