C1337 Road to Death



C1337 Road to Death

The dawn had made the world bright and full of hope, but that was an illusion.    

    

Several war horses appeared once more on the western border of the village. The corpses at the mouth of the valley were all gone, and the ground was littered with traces of wild beasts. The corpses of the more than thirty armed men from Stone Tribe were undoubtedly a feast for the wild beasts that lived on this land.    

    

"Teacher Xia, Stone Tribe is in this valley. You will see it once you enter the valley, which is 10 kilometers away from the entrance." Tigress said.    

    

"Be careful when you enter the valley. Follow behind me. Don't walk in front of me." Xia Lei warned.    

    

Li Ni said: "We understand, we are not children. We know the danger we are facing."    

    

Xia Lei nodded his head, "That's good. There is one more thing, you must stay when I tell you to stay. If you don't agree, you can go back now. "    

    

Li Ni, the black girl and the big tiger looked at each other, and in the end, Li Ni made a decision, "I agree, let's go."    

    

Xia Lei pressed on the horse's abdomen, and the horse entered the valley. Li Ni, the black girl and the big tiger followed closely behind and entered the valley.    

    

On both sides of the valley were steep mountain peaks covered with dense forests. A narrow road made of mudstone extended forward in a zigzag manner that could not be seen at first glance.    

    

The valley was completely silent. Occasionally, the roar of a wild beast could be heard. The sudden sound would make people nervous.    

    

Following the road in front of the valley, Xia Lei saw a dozen of corpses hanging on the trees on both sides of the road. Some of the corpses had already turned into bones. Some of them were still in a highly decomposed state, emitting a strong stench under the sunlight.    

    

"Ugh ?" Li Ni could not help but cover his mouth, almost vomiting.    

    

Xia Lei said: "This is probably the Stone Tribe's warning sign. Everyone be careful, the road ahead is dangerous."    

    

Xia Lei rode his horse to the front while Li Ni, Tigress and Wu Da followed behind him. The strongest of the two men was in front, while the strongest was at the back. This kind of body shape was also a form of protection for Li Ni and the Tigress.    

    

After about three kilometers, the valley in front of them had become smaller. A narrow gap appeared in Xia Lei's line of sight. It was an extremely steep precipitous cliff, which was located on both sides of the road that they had to pass through. Walking along that road would give rise to the fear that the rocks above would fall at any moment and crush them to death.    

    

As he was watching the pass, a light suddenly came from a cliff above the pass. Xia Lei's gaze followed them. Although his eyes lost the ability to see and scan, he was still extremely sensitive to changes in light rays. Thus, the three men from Pingyang Village did not see him, but he did.    

    

A second later, he suddenly shouted, "Get down!"    

    

Before the three Peace Village s knew what was going on, he had already jumped down from his horse and caught the Avenger 1000 in his hand.    

    

Just then, a gunshot came from above the cliff, and a bullet flew over the heads of the three Peace Village's men. Only then did the three Peace Village's people react, and quickly dismounted, taking their weapons and preparing to fight. However, even if they held the weapons in their hands, they didn't know where the enemy was.    

    

Just when the Peace Village was panicking, Xia Lei suddenly raised the Avenger up by 1000, and instantly aimed in a certain direction. The people of the three Peace Village s were shocked to discover that even though Xia Lei was holding the sniper rifle in such a position, his hands did not even tremble!    

    

Bang!    

    

With a gunshot, a bullet flew out from the Avenger's gun. A second later, a gunner fell from the cliff. His body hit the cliff several times before it fell to the ground.    

    

Bang Bang Bang...    

    

There was a sudden burst of gunfire on the cliff, you know, coming from several different directions. Xia Lei's horse was hit by a stray bullet and fell to the ground.    

    

"F * ck!" Wu Da shot back while scolding: "Did they know we would come? Damn it! They set up an ambush here! "    

    

At this time, Li Ni and the Tigress still had some lingering fear, because if not for the situation that Xia Lei discovered, if the four of them continued to walk closer, once they found the natural passage, the people of Stone Tribe would not even need to shoot, they would have been smashed to death by the rocks thrown down.    

    

The other party's firepower was strong, and its bullets were like rain. Li Ni, Tigress and Wu Da had no choice but to hide in a hiding place, but Xia Lei did not need to hide, as she was wearing Huang Zhan's light armor. The only flaw on his body was the arrow hole that he had pierced through with the metal arrow. It was almost impossible for a gunner with very few bullets to hit that arrow hole.    

    

Amidst the intense gunfire, bullets rushed down from the top of his head and flew past him. Some of them even hit his body directly. But he made no movement to evade. He strode toward the pass with the Avenger in his hand, and with every step he fired a shot. Without a shot, an armed Stone Tribe man would fall from the cliff above the pass and turn into a meat patty on the road below.    

    

The battle lasted only two minutes before the armed men of the Stone Tribe, who had been lying in ambush on the cliffs of the pass, were wiped out. That included a guy who was playing dead on a cliff. His companion beside him lost his courage to fight when Xia Lei shot him in the head. He lay prone in the crack in the rocks, and only when he saw Xia Lei put away his sniper rifle did he crawl up and flee. However, he only ran one step before a bullet came from behind and opened the back of his head.    

    

There were a total of five gunners in the pass, all of whom were killed by Xia Lei alone.    

    

Xia Lei came to the entrance of the mountain pass and checked all the corpses, but he did not find anything like a mobile phone or communication device. Then, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "The humans of this new world are being reared on this planet by the blue moon man like livestock. The blue moon man has set up energy field s in the sky, how can they allow the humans to freely communicate? Even the letters that the middleman amorous cat used to contact Huang Zhan were all original ones, let alone these gunners, how could they have a phone or communication device? I wonder if the Rebel Army has them, if not, how can their commanders direct the battle ? "    

    

Somehow, he thought of the Rebel Army.    

    

Li Ni walked over. The eyes she looked at Xia Lei with were filled with reverence and divine light. "Teacher Xia, these people seemed to have been lying in ambush here. If we go any deeper, we will definitely be in danger, so let's go back and wait for the right opportunity to come back. "    

    

Xia Lei said: "No, you guys stay here, I'll go in alone."    

    

"How can that be?" Li Ni was immediately anxious.    

    

Xia Lei said: "These people are not here because they have received news. We have killed Huang Zhan, Stone Tribe will definitely send people to guard this pass, in case you take the opportunity to attack them."    

    

"Are you sure it wasn't someone who leaked our plan?" Li Ni still wanted to persuade Xia Lei. She thought that if Ramona died in Stone Tribe, it would be a huge loss to him. She didn't think that Ramona would die in Stone Tribe, but if he died in Stone Tribe, it would be a great loss to her as well. Furthermore, she herself also had a plan to join the Rebel Army with Xia Lei. She wanted to be together with Xia Lei.    

    

Xia Lei said: "Don't try to persuade me anymore. I have such a judgement, of course it's because of me. The matter that I have decided on will not change. You can either stay here or go back. "    

    

"You really are ?" Having his good intentions rejected like this, Li Ni felt somewhat wronged.    

    

However, Xia Lei did not speak anymore, and stepped onto the road to enter the pass alone.    

    

Li Ni wanted to chase after her, but the tigress grabbed her arm, "Village Chief, Teacher Xia has already made it very clear that if we follow him, we won't be able to help him, but we can become his burden. We'll stand guard here and wait to pick him up. "    

    

"But ?" Li Ni looked at Xia Lei's back with unwillingness to lose.    

    

Tigress moved closer to Li Ni and whispered into his ear, "Men don't like women who pester them. Believe me, it's useless even if you chase after them."    

    

Maybe because of those words, Li Ni dispelled the thought of chasing after them. She silently stood at the entrance, watching Xia Lei walk into the distance, before disappearing from her sight.    

    

Xia Lei walked along the mountain path on the cliff face. His speed wasn't fast, and as he walked, his eyes constantly swept across the space on his left and right sides, and the space above his head. After walking for some distance, he realized that the so-called valley was actually just that small valley behind him. The further he went, the smaller the space became. The road beneath his feet was basically snaking and extending along the cliffs, even if he walked for a long time, it would still seem very dangerous.    

    

An hour later, the narrow and dangerous mountain road finally came to an end. The space in front of Xia Lei suddenly opened up, and a small basin located in the middle of a mountain entered his line of sight. In the middle of the small basin was a building, which was slightly larger than the Peace Village. The style of the buildings were completely different from the Peace Village's. There were houses built with metal fragments and houses built with crates that looked like containers. The tallest building was a jumble of metal scraps and boxes, like a giant garbage dump. It was about twenty meters in height, and if it was a building, it was the first building he had seen in the New World.    

    

It was the Stone Tribe, the strongest tribe in the region.    

    

Originally, there was a forest around Stone Tribe, but all the trees had been cut down, leaving behind only a few tree stumps. If he had wanted to infiltrate the Stone Tribe during the day, it would have been almost impossible.    

    

Just as he was observing the surrounding areas of the Stone Tribe, Xia Lei saw many iron rods, each of which had a corpse on it. Some of them were not completely rotten, while some had already turned into bones. The iron rods circled around the Stone Tribe's territory, while the bones circled around the Stone Tribe. Against the background of the corpses and the huge metal garbage, the Stone Tribe emitted a dark and fallen aura.    

    

Xia Lei withdrew his gaze and took out the black stone from Huang Zhan's body. He could feel the energy in the stone, it was so mysterious and powerful.    

    

"Huang Zhan has brought this stone with him. He must know the value of this stone, and hopes to find some clues in his vault." Xia Lei secretly thought.    

    

When night falls, he would sneak into the Stone Tribe.
