Chapter 948: Sniper

When a pregnant woman caresses her belly, the palms are always facing inwards.
Xiao Ling used to do that too, but this time it was different. One of her fingers seemed to move inadvertently towards the outside, and there seemed to be something on her fingers. It was a kind of… moss.
Li Lei recognized the message she was trying to show to him.
He stood up hurriedly from his chair and ordered his subordinates. “Pass on the order to analyze what type of moss this is and where it grows, then send people to rescue her at the fastest speed!”
Xia Ling was imprisoned in the room.
She was giddy every day and could only differentiate time from when they delivered food to her.
She had no idea what was going on in the outside world, and no idea whether the message she had painstakingly conveyed to Li Lei was understood—that type of moss was the kind she had grabbed from the walls when she had knocked down Li Feng and was escaping from the room. When Li Feng grabbed her hair and slammed her violently against the walls, she had endured the pain to hide the moss.
She had prayed to God, Please let luck stand by my side this time…
Perhaps her pleas were heard by God, for some time later, Li Feng suddenly slammed the door and strode into the room. He was still wearing a beautifully embroidered cotton robe. However, that robe was like his anxious feelings, having been torn by the stones on the walls while he was on the way, thus looking really pitiful.
He grabbed a handful of her long hair and dragged her out without pity, saying, “You vile person, you still sent Xiao Lei a message behind my back! I should have thrown you into the pit to feed the snakes! Come, aren’t you looking for death! I will torture the devil in you to death today!”
Xia Ling staggered as he dragged her, and she endured the pain, forcing herself to keep up with his pace and not let herself fall.
They passed through the labyrinth of dark corridors, and when she was completely lost, panting and unable to hold on any longer, Li Feng threw her onto a stone platform.
She gasped and panted at the shock, her belly aching dully.
She protected her abdomen in panic, yet still listened as Li Feng laughed coldly. “Still worrying about your child while you’re on your deathbed? Just wait a while and she’ll be there to be buried with you! Look…” He pointed to the bottom of the platform. “These are the children I have collected from all over the world, how marvelous…”
Below the platform was a burst of stench.
Xia Ling looked down and discovered that they were in a huge cave. Below it was a snake pit of one or two hundred square meters, with all kinds of colorful snakes swimming inside, slithering and spitting out their red forked tongues with a stinky stench. A narrow bridge that looked very unstable was hung above the snake pit, swaying dangerously, reaching her side of the platform. Above the platform was a sling, which Li Feng was tying her to with great agility.
“What are you doing!” Xia Ling struggled.
Li Feng smiled happily. “Do you hear that sound? Xiao Lei has brought a group of people to attack here. He is so desperate, how could I not give him a little surprise? Just let us see, will he conquer this place sooner, or will I cut open your throat and feed it to the snake first!”
His crazy yet sharp voice echoed in the empty cave.
At that time, Xia Ling could hear the sounds of gunshots from outside, which became denser and denser, and so were the fighting sounds.
After a while, she could indeed see a bunch of people rushing in. The head of the group was drenched in blood, a beautiful face amidst the dim light of the dark cave, murderously staring at the side of the platform. “Li Feng! Let go of Xiao Ling!” It was Li Lei, he was finally here.
Xia Ling almost cried out in excitement, and she shouted, “Li Lei!”
Li Feng smiled unrulily. “Welcome to the snake pit, my dear brother. You sure have a deep affection for my sister-in-law. I wonder what kind of method was used, for you to be able to find this place in advance?” He said, pinching Xia Ling’s chin from behind his back using his full force, as if he were trying to break her bones.
Li Lei’s voice was cold. “Let go of her!”
Li Feng smiled with pleasure, slicing through Xia Ling’s clothes with the fingertips that were wearing sharp-armored nails. He conveniently sliced through her weak body, making long traces of blood appear. “Since you are in such a hurry… Xiao Lei, I don’t mind opening her stomach up in front of you.” He licked Xia Ling’s earlobes, added more force, and his sharp fingernails entered Xia Ling’s body as if slicing through tofu!
Xia Ling screamed out in pain. She was afraid Li Lei would be worried, so she held back and endured the pain quietly. Her face was pale, and sweat dripped from her forehead bead by bead. She turned to her side instinctively, trying to avoid bringing harm to the child in her belly.
At the end of the snake pit, Li Lei’s eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his gun to take aim at Li Feng.
However, the range of the pistol could not hit Li Feng who was only a few hundred meters away. Li Feng laughed broadly, gently turning the armor of his fingernail that was embedded in Xia Ling’s belly. The pain almost made her faint. “I will let you see just what is inside the opening of the belly!” Li Feng took the armor out of her belly, raised it high, and was about to become even more vicious!
Suddenly, a red spot appeared on the cave wall beside Li Feng’s body.
It was a small dot, but the cold spot made people feel chilly.
“A sniper?!” Li Feng’s expression changed, immediately looking at the source of the spot. However, the terrain of the cave was too complicated, and from his viewpoint, there was only pitch black in the depths of the cave. “No, impossible…” Li Feng murmured, suddenly raising his voice at Li Lei. “I understand this cave too well, the only sniper position that can shoot inside here is too far! With such a distance, even the world’s best sniper will not be able to shoot. Don’t think of trying to scare me!”
Li Lei was very calm, on the other hand. “Whether it’s true or fake, you can try it out.”
Li Feng looked at him gloomily, then laughed slyly all of a sudden. “He can’t shoot me! The red dot is beside me on the wall! Hahaha! If he could have shot me at this angle, he would have already! Right?! Hahahahahahaha…”
Li Lei frowned. This crazy brother of his, how was he still so prudent at this juncture? He was right, the positioning of the sniper did have its limits, and even though it was only a difference of a few meters, he indeed could not hit Li Feng. Otherwise, Li Lei did not doubt that the sniper would have blown Li Feng up into pieces at first sight!
He looked at Li Feng coldly and said, “You’re right. With this position of yours, the sniper can’t shoot you. But if you open up Xiao Ling’s abdomen, you can believe that the moment you reach out your hand, the sniper will shoot it and disable it!”
Li Feng looked at him enchantingly. “Your sniper position is too far, I don’t believe there’s anyone in the world with such accurate aim.”
Li Lei said, “The one aiming at you is called Xia Moyan.”
Xia Moyan!
Brother was here too!
Xia Ling’s spirit was jostled, and she struggled to tell herself to hold on and cooperated with Li Lei to frighten Li Feng. “Brother’s marksmanship has always been accurate, you can’t use a normal human’s standards to assess him!”
