Chapter 217: Looked A Bit Familiar
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
She was not afraid of snakes.
Su Ying zipped into her interspatial store and took out the flamethrower on the shelf.
When she came out, the snakes were almost at her feet.
“Instead of sleeping comfortably, you guys had to come here to die. Who can you blame?” Su Ying’s flamethrower shot out a stream of fiery flames like a powerful dragon wriggling outwards, forcing the venomous snakes to retreat repeatedly.
Snakes were afraid of fire. When they saw the fiery flamethrower, those venomous snakes did not dare to approach at all.
As Su Ying held her flamethrower and walked forward, the sound of the flute became clearer.
When she reached the foot of the defensive wall, she took out a long rope with grappling hooks and tossed it over before climbing over the defensive wall.
Su Ying scanned her surroundings with her night-vision goggles and spotted a figure in red crouching on the branch of a large tree.
The red figure stood under the moonlight, mysterious and creepy.
Su Ying put the flamethrower back in her interspatial store and sprinkled some realgar powder on herself.
The snakes stopped approaching her after smelling the realgar powder.
Su Ying silently approached the figure in red.
Just as she got within shooting range, a leopard standing under the tree let out a low warning growl.
The actions of the leopard alerted the person on the tree, who immediately turned to look in Su Ying’s direction.
However, when he looked over, it was pitch-black. There was nothing there.
The red-robed man withdrew his gaze without batting an eyelid and gestured for the leopard to go up to one particular big tree.
The leopard approached the big tree warily. When it suddenly jumped behind the big tree, it found nothing under the tree. It climbed up the tree but also found nothing.
The leopard tilted its head in bafflement.
It went back the way it came and returned to guard the red-robed man.
Not long after the leopard descended from the tree, Su Ying came out of her interspatial store.
She hid behind the tree and aimed the tranquilizer gun at the red-robed man.
Just as she was about to pull the trigger, the red-robed man suddenly looked toward her. Su Ying heard a soft “boom,” and a thick plume of red smoke rose from where the red-robed man was standing. When the smoke dispersed, he was nowhere to be seen.
Su Ying’s eyes narrowed slightly as she put away the gun in her hand.
Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. The red-robed man had already appeared behind her and the dagger in his hand was pressed against her neck.
“Don’t move rashly. My dagger doesn’t have eyes.”
Su Ying slowly raised both her hands when she heard that.
“To be able to approach me without making a sound is proof that you are indeed stronger than that group of trash. However, to me, you are just an ant. Go to hell!”
The red-robed man thrust his scimitar forward, and just as it was about to slice through Su Ying’s artery, she suddenly vanished into thin air.
The red-robed man was stunned as he stared in disbelief at the spot where Su Ying had been standing.
How was it possible for her to disappear right in front of him?
The red-robed man lowered his head to look at the leopard under the tree, only to see that the leopard was still looking around in a daze. It did not sense Su Ying’s presence at all.
The red-robed man quickly dashed to the tree and began to search for Su Ying under it.
Meanwhile, Su Ying was quietly waiting in her interspatial store, estimating the time to leave.
After the other party realized that she had disappeared, he would definitely not stay where he was. This was enough for her.
When she figured sufficient time had lapsed, Su Ying came out of her interspatial store. She stood on a tree and saw the red-robed man searching for her not far away.
She took out the tranquilizer gun again and aimed it at his vest.
Su Ying breathed as lightly as possible and restrained her killing intent. While the red-robed man was focused on searching for her and did not notice her presence, she quickly shot out the tranquilizer dart.
By the time the red-robed man realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Boom! A cloud of red smoke billowed out again. Su Ying jumped down from the tree. The red smoke had already dissipated, but the figure of the red-robed man was no longer there.
When the leopard saw Su Ying walking over, it immediately lunged at her.
Su Ying switched on the electric baton in her hand and straightaway knocked out the leopard.
Su Ying checked the spot where the red-robed man had disappeared from. Although he was gone, her tranquilizer dart was also gone, proving that she had hit him.
Unless he was raised on drugs like those wild beasts and had a strong resistance to drugs, he definitely wouldn’t be able to run far.
Su Ying took out the detector and turned it on. The device quickly showed the location of a red dot.
Su Ying went in pursuit of the red dot’s location. Sure enough, she saw the red-robed man struggling to move forward.
It seemed that the tranquilizer dart was effective, but he did not immediately fall to the ground, which meant that his body had a certain degree of resistance to the drug.
Su Ying silently followed the red-robed man. She wanted to know where he was going.
However, the red-robed man did not last long before he fell to the ground.
Su Ying stood in the dark and didn’t immediately step forward. Instead, she waited for a while to make sure that the red-robed man wouldn’t get up before walking over.
Su Ying flipped him over and pulled off the red cloth covering his face, revealing his face that was hidden by the cloth. Su Ying looked at this face and found it somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen it before.
She reached out, pinched his mouth open, and found a black round object hidden in his back molars. She reached her finger in and dug out the black round object and threw it on the ground. Then, she retrieved a rope and the horse from her interspatial store and used the rope to tie him up. She then threw him on the horse and went back.
When Su Ying returned to the Tiger Base, the sky was almost bright.
As soon as she entered, she saw Number One galloping over with a few people.
“It’s Mistress! It’s really Mistress!”
After they saw Su Ying, they quickly rushed up to her and dismounted from their horses.
“Mistress, where did you go?”
Su Ying pointed at the red-robed man on the horse’s back. “I found him outside the defensive wall last night. It’s very likely that he was the one who controlled those birds. Now that I’ve caught him, we can interrogate him properly when he wakes up.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
Number One and the others stepped forward to take the reins from Su Ying’s hands and brought the red-robed man back.
Xiao Jin had been guarding the gate wall the entire night and only returned after daybreak. As soon as he entered the compound, he saw Su Ying sitting in the courtyard with a red-robed man tied up in front of her.
“Who is this person?”
Su Ying lifted her eyelids and said, “Sky Alpha Cult member.”
Xiao Jin frowned and turned to look at the man in red.
Su Ying figured it was about time, so she instructed Number One to carry a bucket of ice water over and drench the red-robed man. Splash! A layer of hot air immediately rose from his body, and when the freezing wind blew, the cold woke him up.
The red-robed man slowly raised his head. When he realized that he had been caught, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly reacted and tried to bite the poison pill hidden in his teeth, but he realized that the poison pill in his mouth was gone.
“Are all Sky Alpha Cult members so incompetent like you?”
