Demon Hunter | Book 1 Chapter 5.1 (1) | Welcome to the Jungle!

Outside of Asmo’s large gate, there were already over a hundred people, consisting of mercenaries, hunters, and several officers. Hunters and mercenaries were usually domineering and fierce, and they looked down on women. In their eyes, women were mere tools meant to satisfy their desires no matter how valiant or pretty they were. However, they weren’t stupid. When they saw that even the guards and officers that should interfere stood quietly from the side, they chose to act the same.

A hundred individuals, a hundred pairs of eyes that contained hostility or offended expressions; these were all like air to Li.

The sound of engines rumbled again outside Asmo. Two off-road vehicles suddenly rushed forward another ten meters, and their hoods practically touched the Asmo’s barricade. As they advanced, the two anti-aircraft machine guns adjusted their aim. When the vehicles stopped, the pitch-black muzzle perfectly placed the surrounding people within its range. The two operators’ eyes were cruel and bloodthirsty. It was clear that they were a bit impatient and wanted to pull the trigger.

Seeing the two anti-aircraft machine guns, Grace Company’s officers became even more gloomy. They did not want to become enemies with Roxland Company for the sake of a single hunter even though Roxland Company’s actions were close to provocative. Under the current situation, as soon as conflict sparked, the two companies would start a war. Ordinary mercenaries and hunters might not know, but the officers were higher level figures within this bitter land, and so they naturally knew a bit more than ordinary people. Starting a war against Roxland Company was equivalent to suicide.

Su slowly raised his hand and began to loosen the ties around his cloak.

Li’s pretty eyebrows jumped as she watched Su’s movements. Her eyes became more and more bright.

Bang! Bang!

Two abrupt and enormous gunshots shook through all of Asmo. It was to a point where even Li was affected by the explosive sound waves of those attacks!

“I died?” After hearing these two gunshots that could even overwhelm the sounds of machine cannons, this thought instinctively emerged within Li’s mind. A black cloud submerged her vision, her body lost its balance and fell onto the ground.

The instant her back touched the ground, her waist suddenly erupted with force, allowing her to bounce back up. She furiously pulled off the cloak covering her head just to see Su run away at a shocking speed in a camouflage suit. He went straight for the wire netting surrounding Asmo, and without reducing his speed in the slightest, he leapt into the air without stopping for a second. It seemed to violate the laws of physics as his entire body soared over the meter and a half tall wire netting. He was as light as a feather, and upon landing, he quickly ran towards the depths of the wilderness.

Meanwhile, the modified motorcycle that was ridiculously bold and powerful flopped over on its side. Both tires had a bowl sized hole, clearly opened from Su’s gunshots just now.

Ta ta ta! One of the anti-aircraft machine guns on top an off-road vehicle roared, causing earth to splatter behind Su’s back. Earth and rocks flew towards the sky, and then they would fall back down on top of his retreating figure, as if it buried him within! It was clear that the two shooters of the vehicles had at least one level of proficiency in heavy weaponry.

Su suddenly changed direction, removing himself from the anti-aircraft machine gun’s trajectory. He continued to run frantically towards the distant forest ruins.

“Stop fucking shooting!” Li furiously howled.

She ferociously jumped and rushed towards an off-road vehicle at a speed that didn’t lose to Su’s. She grabbed the shooter on top of the vehicle and fiercely kicked him off, sending him flying several meters outwards. With a pu tong sound, the shooter tumbled about on the ground like a sandbag. Even though his body was strong and robust, a single move made him momentarily unable to crawl back up. Li pulled open the car door and similarly threw the driver out several meters before sitting herself in the driver’s seat.
