Chapter 141 The Final Battle (Part I)

Amid the mountains densely covered with weeds and trees, this valley was the only pure land in the harsh environment. Unlike the previous lush forest, this place was completely exposed to the sunlight.

All kinds of wild flowers and weeds grew like crazy here. Even the crested dog's-tail grass that normally could only reach the height of the knees of a person grew to the height of the waist.

Such an environment provided the best conditions for the lurkers. In the thorny bushes on the side of the valley, there was a place that was about to merge with the surrounding environment. Tie Feinan, the Falcon Assault Team's sniper, was hiding here.

If a sniper searched for targets with sniper rifles in broad daylight, he might be exposed because the sniper scope could easily reflect light. As a seasoned sniper, Tie Feinan carefully covered the scope with a palm-sized leaf that he had picked up before entering the valley. He pricked a few small holes, the size of a pinhole, in the leaf. He saw through these small holes to search for targets.

Only Tie Feinan could do something like this. Others probably wouldn't be able to do it. Even the best sniper in the Elite Team, Wang Shi, was unable to do it.

Tie Feinan was the first person to enter the valley. Hong Yan and Su Li only entered about half an hour later. The three of them took off the wireless headsets that they used to communicate with each other from the moment they entered the valley and put them in their backpacks. They thought exactly the same as Lu Yao. They also adopted a one-on-one combat tactic.

Lu Yao had been into this valley twice, but he didn't find any trace of Tie Feinan. Similarly, Tie Feinan had also failed to find any trace of Lu Yao. This was a real battle between a top lurker and a top sniper.

Tie Feinan skillfully blocked the sniper scope with the grass leaf. He did this out of his experience. Lu Yao was different. He directly took off the sniper scope and put it in the backpack along with the wireless headset.

In this valley that was about one kilometer long and less than six hundred meters wide, Lu Yao could see with his bare eyes as well as with the sniper scope. This was why he chose to put the scope away.

Time slowly passed. The sunlight in the valley gradually disappeared from the hillside. It had been almost seven hours since the two teams entered the valley, but they didn't find each other. Although they believed that their enemies must be in the valley, they could not find any trace of each other.

Lu Yao became a little anxious. He had never imagined that such a small drill would be so valued by both teams. He just realized that even though technologies were highly valued in this environment, primitive combat methods were still the most crucial.

Lu Yao was thinking rapidly. There were several times when he even wanted to ask Li Jiang for advice. However, after thinking about it, he gave up this idea. He did not want to rely on Li Jiang to solve every problem because that would make him a lazy thinker. He would also be used to relying on Li Jiang more and more.

Moreover, during the last two communications with Li Jiang, Lu Yao also knew something that was awful to him. That was, before he reached the Golden Core Stage, every time Li Jiang appeared, Lu Yao would be in more danger, and his strength would also be decreased.

Lu Yao did not want something like this to happen.

Lu Yao was lying in a stealthy position and he quickly recalled all the books and plots in the TV series he had read and watched, trying to find some useful information. Suddenly, he remembered a line in a movie.

It would take 2.5 seconds for the world's best and most experienced sniper to shoot before he discovered and locked onto the target. No one could be faster than this. Although Lu Yao did not know if he could do it, he believed that Tie Feinan definitely could not do it.

He would bet!

After thinking about it, Lu Yao knew this seemed to be the best way at the moment. Lu Yao decided to use himself as bait to test Tie Feinan. If he really guessed right, then he would be able to gain the upper hand.

However, in order to be safe, Lu Yao decided to use the classical methods of diverting the opponent's attention and drawing a snake out of its hole.

He took two small stones from a rock beside him, placed them on his lips and kissed them. He muttered, "I'll depend on you this time!"

He used Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills. First, it was Tuiyun Hand, then Poti Fist. Finally, he mobilized the innate spiritual power in his Dantian to exert 100% of his strength according to the trajectory of the power of the Tongtian Hammer. He shot one of the stones at a big tree that was seven centimeters wide at a distance of 500 meters away with the Leaf Picking technique.

"Bang!"

The stone hit the trunk, making a sound exactly the same as the sound of a bullet hitting the target.

Normally, even the sound of gunfire would not be too loud, but because they were in a valley and the surrounding environment was too quiet, the sound of the stone attracted everyone's attention. They had already been very nervous and now they were even more nervous.

Lu Yao was doing this to deliberately expose his position, so when this voice rang out, he quickly jumped towards the back of a rock.

"Sh*t!"

The big tree Lu Yao hit happened to be not far from where Hong Yan, the Falcon Assault Team's captain, was hiding. When Hong Yan saw a hole about two to three centimeters wide on the tree trunk, he was shocked. He said to himself, "Sh*t!"

At first, he thought that the sniper of the Elite Team had discovered his position. However, when he saw the hole, he completely overturned this conjecture, because in the drill, they used blank cartridges. It was impossible for a blank cartridge to make such a big hole in the tree. Only a real bullet could do such a thing.

There was also a possibility that an intruder or a poacher appeared and used real bullets. However, when he saw a black shadow flash past a rock far away, he once again denied his guess. If an intruder or a poacher found him, they would only hide themselves. If they did not discover him, they would definitely not be so evasive. Then there was only one possibility.

The sniper of the Elite Team was using himself as bait to lure Tie Feinan. Actually, Hong Yan's original plan was also to find the sniper of the Elite Team first before launching an all-out attack.

Hong Yan reacted fast. The first thing he did was to shift his attention from the black shadow. Instead, he looked at the bush where Tie Feinan was lying in ambush. When he saw that Tie Feinan wanted to move, Hong Yan immediately let out a sharp eagle cry.

This was a secret message that they often used to communicate. Based on the rhythm of the sound, they would know the severity of the matter. This warning from Hong Yan just now was the most urgent one. He knew that Tie Feinan would definitely understand what he meant.

After issuing an alert, Hong Yan's position was exposed. He had no choice but to quickly get up and use the shelter of the trees and rocks to move to the next place.

But even so, Hong Yan was exposed.

Gao Feng and the others found Hong Yan and quickly asked Li Kang, Li Fei, and Wang Peng to advance in the direction of Hong Yan.

Lu Yao thought that although his plan would not allow him to directly take down the sniper of the Falcon Assault Team, it would not be difficult to let him expose his position. However, he didn't expect that Hong Yan actually chose to expose himself at the last moment.

Tie Feinan did not appear, and Lu Yao did not dare to act rashly. Through what happened just now, Lu Yao had a different understanding of this sniper of the Falcon Assault Team. Now Lu Yao was like a lurking poisonous snake. If he made another move, he must bite his opponent. He had already used the method once. Although he had not achieved his ultimate goal, his enemies still suffered a loss. If he used it again, it wouldn't be productive.

Lu Yao put himself in Tie Feinan's shoes, wondering what Tie Feinan would do in this situation...

Hong Yan was good at hiding. However, under the pursuit of Li Kang, Li Fei, and Wang Peng, he was still a little flustered. Gradually, the three of them surrounded Hong Yan. Before the others could reveal their whereabouts, the four of them had already started shooting.

It was difficult for Hong Yan to achieve victory in a three-on-one battle. Su Li watched anxiously from afar. However, he did not know that Xu Long and Xu Yi were ready to give up on this drill. Therefore, he was afraid of the remaining three people, especially after listening to what Hong Yan had told him. He was both curious and afraid of Xu Long's strength. He lay on the grass and clenched the steel g*n in his hand tightly. He clenched it so hard that his fingers turned from red to purple.

Suddenly, everyone's terminal vibrated and the news of Xu Long and Xu Yi withdrawing from the drill came.

This unexpected change caused the situation to take a major turn. Although it was not a shocking change, everyone was surprised by it.

In a battle between experts, the slightest change in the situation would often change how the overall situation developed next. The sound produced by the vibration of the terminal was very small, even smaller than the sound of a mosquito flapping its wings. However, the vibration itself caused the grass beside Lu Yao and Tie Feinan to tremble violently.

The two of them cursed as they locked onto each other's location at the same time. Their movements were surprisingly synchronized. They raised their guns, aimed, and pulled the trigger. After shooting, regardless of whether they hit the target or not, they instantly changed their positions and moved towards the next location.

The moment Lu Yao dodged, he saw a puff of green smoke coming out of the grass where he had just lay. Obviously, Tie Feinan had shot at the spot where the back of Lu Yao's heart was when he was lying flat on the ground.

If Lu Yao had been hit, although he would not be injured, the director team would definitely eliminate Lu Yao.

Tie Feinan was not much better than Lu Yao. If not for the fact that he almost suffered a loss just now, he wouldn't pay much attention to Lu Yao. In that case, he would have been eliminated in this drill.

Although he dodged successfully this time, he didn't realize that this was the beginning of his nightmare.
