Chapter 2349 - 2349 Counter-hunting (1)
The problem was that the middle-aged cultivator’s group was not weak. If he rashly made a move, he would likely be injured.
During the day, without the cover of the night, it would be more difficult to move around.
This was especially so after he was almost killed by Tang Zhen. The middle-aged cultivator had already raised his vigilance and was always hiding behind people, unwilling to reveal himself. He was afraid that he would suffer another sneak attack from Tang Zhen.
It was obvious that he had already made up his mind to use others as his human shield. He would definitely not take any risks.
Tang Zhen had no choice when he encountered such a fellow with extremely high vigilance. Although he was very confident in his strength, he did not dare to face the muzzles of a group of people.
How could a body of flesh and blood resist bullets?
This was the thought process of a normal person, but in fact, even a bullet from a heavy sniper rifle couldn’t hurt him at all.
Tang Zhen didn’t know the truth and would definitely not try. According to the thoughts of a normal person, that would be no different from seeking death.
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard a buzzing sound. It was the sound of insects flapping their wings.
Tang Zhen was startled. He thought that another poisonous insect that could fly had attacked. He turned around and discovered that there was actually a huge beehive hanging on a large tree nearby.
The wild bees near the Beehive were the size of a thumb, and their bright colors were enough to prove that they were not to be trifled with.
Tang Zhen’s eyes brightened after seeing the large beehive. Soon after, he chuckled.
If he threw the Beehive next to the middle-aged cultivator and the others, the angry bees would definitely not let it go. At that time, the middle-aged cultivator and the others who were closest to him would be in big trouble.
The seemingly solid defense line would collapse completely in an instant, and then chaos would ensue.
At that time, it would be the best time for Tang Zhen to take action. He could take advantage of the chaos and attack them one by one.
However, it wasn’t an easy task to throw the Beehive over. It was very likely that he would be stung by the poisonous bee first.
Tang Zhen couldn’t help but shiver when he thought of the feeling of being stung by a bee. That feeling was really too painful.
However, Tang Zhen similarly believed that as long as he was fast enough, he should not be seriously injured.
After making up his mind, Tang Zhen slowly moved over. His actions and expression were extremely similar to a cheetah that was about to hunt.
The wild bees were still coming in and out. They didn’t realize that they were in trouble.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to act. Instead, he carefully observed and planned all the subsequent actions.
“Crack!”
A clear sound was heard as the huge beehive was forcefully broken by Tang Zhen. Soon after, he suddenly leaped forward.
The height of the large tree’s branches was over ten meters from the ground. Tang Zhen leaped into the air and his body directly left the area covered by the tree’s crown, appearing in the empty air.
In the distance, the middle-aged cultivator and the others had already heard the movement from the treetops. However, before they could come to their senses, they saw a strange figure appear in the air.
Tang Zhen, who was holding the large beehive, did indeed have a strange appearance, causing one to be unable to tell his background.
Tang Zhen’s speed was extremely fast. However, there were still people who could clearly see his appearance and recognize his clothes.
After the middle-aged cultivator realized that it was Tang Zhen, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and raised his pistol to shoot.
However, at this moment, he clearly saw the thing in Tang Zhen’s hand. He immediately turned around and ran without the slightest hesitation.
f * ck! This grandson is too sinister!
The middle-aged cultivator cursed in his heart. He was still heavily injured and if he was stung by the poisonous bees again, he would not be able to survive even if he had nine lives.
The leader and the others didn’t have the eyesight and reaction speed of the middle-aged cultivator. They only saw the figure in the air throw something, which landed in front of them with the sound of the wind.
“Bang!”
The Beehive fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces by the huge force. The honeycomb and honey inside also scattered.
Seeing the bees wriggling on the ground and the poisonous bees coming out of the broken beehives, the leader and the others jumped up in fright and also turned to run.
They were well aware of the power of the poisonous bees in the wild. They knew that if they were unlucky, one poisonous bee could very likely take their lives.
They weren’t facing a single poisonous bee, but a horde of them whose hive had been destroyed. This was even more terrifying than facing a bomb.
The explosion range of the bomb was limited, but the poisonous bee could move around and bite the target while chasing.
As they fled in all directions, they were also cursing in their hearts. Who the hell was that bastard who threw the Beehive?
“Ah!”
One of them was stung by a poisonous bee and cried out in pain, which was followed by a series of wails.
He didn’t need to guess to know that this unlucky fellow was in trouble.
Hearing the screams of their companions and thinking of the painful deaths after being stung by the poisonous bees, everyone’s hearts turned cold and they couldn’t help but speed up their escape.
The number of poisonous bees was limited, so it was naturally impossible for them to track all the enemies. At most, they would lock onto an unlucky person.
Moreover, in the process of running away, they kept waving the branches in their hands to drive away the attacks of the poisonous bees.
Therefore, although it seemed chaotic, it didn’t cause too much damage to the enemy. It was estimated that they would be able to get rid of it soon.
However, Tang Zhen’s goal was to let them scatter and escape. Only then would he have the opportunity to attack.
After landing from the air, Tang Zhen directly ran towards a nearby corpse. He had already noticed that there was a hand crossbow beside the corpse.
This guy had been killed by the long-haired monster last night and eaten by poisonous insects. Now, only a white skeleton was left.
After picking up the crossbow and the crossbow bag, Tang Zhen also picked up the backpack that the other party dropped and checked it on his back.
Tang Zhen sneered as he looked in the direction where the middle-aged cultivator had disappeared. He then quickly chased after him.
At this time, there were sounds of running and screaming from time to time in the forest, but they all maintained a certain distance from each other. It was obvious that the enemies had completely scattered under the pursuit of the bees.
Tang Zhen was unable to determine the location of the middle-aged cultivator. Therefore, he could only slowly track him and kill the other enemies along the way.
He had already rewound the crossbow he had just picked up and installed the sharp alloy arrow on it.
The design of this crossbow was very delicate. It wasn’t very big, but because of the special gear structure, it was very easy and energy-saving to load.
However, its power could not be underestimated. When combined with the sharp alloy arrow, its destructive power far exceeded that of a pistol at a short distance.
He had just walked a short distance when Tang Zhen heard the sound of footsteps coming from the forest. Soon after, he saw an enemy coming out from the bushes. His face still had a trace of an expression as if he had just survived a disaster.
It was obvious that he was lucky enough to avoid the swarm of bees, but he still looked miserable.
When he saw Tang Zhen who had suddenly appeared in front of him, this person was first stunned for a moment. Soon after, he raised the weapon in his hand.
The enemy’s reaction had already indicated his stance. Tang Zhen naturally would not hold back. Before the other party could lock onto him, he had already pulled the trigger.
With a light “whoosh,” the arrow left the bow and landed on the enemy’s forehead.
The enemy’s movements were frozen. The bullet in the pistol was not fired, and his body fell to the ground.
He died with his eyes wide open.
The two of them had only exchanged blows for a short period of time. However, even though they had the advantage in terms of their weapons, the enemy was still not a match for Tang Zhen.
