25: Chapter 27: Spores, Save Me!

Li Xiaoqiang had just climbed over the courtyard wall and chosen a quiet street, making a swift escape.

In a restaurant not far from the villa, Zhao Bin watched the cursor on his laptop and a cold smile hooked at the corner of his mouth.

He said in a deep voice, “Just as I expected, this guy is making a run for it in the cover of darkness.”

The man next to Zhao Bin frowned and asked, “Bin, what do we do now?”

Zhao Bin scoffed and replied, “Don’t you know me by now?

Playing this cat and mouse game is the most fun.”

Having said that, he stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

As he walked, he pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, lit it up, and inhaled deeply before saying, “Let’s go, let’s see how this mouse tries to escape the palm of our hand.”

A group of men got into a car and chased in the direction Li Xiaoqiang had run off.

Li Xiaoqiang ran, the sound of the wind whooshing past his ears, the night air somewhat cool.

Li Xiaoqiang spotted a racing motorcycle parked up ahead, not caring who it belonged to, he hopped on, revved the throttle, and like a wild wolf, the motorcycle roared down the road.

Angry curses came from behind Li Xiaoqiang, “Damn it, stop, shit, just went to buy a pack of cigarettes and my motorcycle gets stolen, motherfucker.”

The young man said this as he hurriedly made a phone call.

Li Xiaoqiang felt the intense vibrations between his legs, the whistling wind made it hard to even keep his eyes open.

Li Xiaoqiang saw a dazzling light shoot from behind him.

He glanced back briefly to see the car had caught up.

Li Xiaoqiang cursed angrily, “Damn!”

Just like that, the motorcycle was speeding on the highway in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, from the SUV, Zhao Bin stuck his head out, looking at Li Xiaoqiang and taunted, “Bro, you gotta go faster, or I might just hit you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the SUV surged forward, and the motorcycle Li Xiaoqiang was on felt the impact of a hit.

If it weren’t for Li Xiaoqiang’s strong arms and good balance, the motorcycle might have flown off the road from that blow.

Li Xiaoqiang looked back and swore, “Shit, why are you chasing me!”

Zhao Bin exhaled a puff of smoke and laughed, “Because you’re the mouse, weaklings are just there to be bullied, heh, be careful, I’m going to hit you again.”

There was a loud bang!

Li Xiaoqiang felt a lightness in his body as the motorcycle jerked forward again, its back seat now dented from the impact.

Both parties continued like this, with lively DJ music playing from the SUV, their demeanour carefree and joyous.

Before long, they had been driving on the highway for over three hours, and by this time, the racing motorcycle was on a dirt road, the terrain uneven, full of holes and dips, the rural route to Gancha Town.

Though an SUV was a rugged vehicle, its agility was obviously lower than that of the motorcycle on such narrow paths.

Zhao Bin cursed, “We can’t keep following like this, who knows, we might end up off a cliff.”

On both sides of the dirt road, there were either towering mountains or sheer cliffs.

Zhao Bin drove the SUV with trepidation; if he went over the cliff, that would be the end of him.

The SUV suddenly accelerated, and with a clanging bang, the motorcycle was knocked into the air.

The moment the motorcycle flew off the cliff, Li Xiaoqiang leaped from it, avoiding a fall down the precipice.

Li Xiaoqiang stood on the edge of the cliff, from below came the mournful cries of animals, as if standing at the gates of Hell, sending shivers down his spine.

If it were not for the fact that Li Xiaoqiang had grown up in Gancha Town, he might have been scared right off the edge.

Five soldiers each had a weapon concealed on them, and Zhao Bin, holding a modern steel hunting arrow, got out of the off-road vehicle and sneered, “Well, well, try running away again?”

Li Xiaoqiang’s heart sank to the bottom, he didn’t say a word, and turned to dash towards the forest edge of the highway.

For him at that moment, his only option was to flee!

He was not far from Gancha Town now; if he could hold on a little longer, he might be able to save his life.

Otherwise, in these desolate mountains and ridges, if he were killed by this group of maniacs and then thrown off the cliff, he would truly die with his eyes wide open.

Zhao Bin watched Li Xiaoqiang flee into the forest but didn’t rush to follow.

Instead, he turned to the brothers behind him and said, “Brothers, it’s been a long time since we’ve trekked through the jungle.

Grab your gear, and after we take care of this guy, we can bring back some game as well, making our trip worthwhile.”

The others nodded slightly and laughed, “Yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve tasted game.

Bin, the last pig we butchered tasted really good, especially braised.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.”

“Haha!” Everyone echoed in laughter.

With high-beam headlights on their heads and weapons in their hands, they moved like fierce tigers and instantly chased after Li Xiaoqiang.

Zhao Bin, watching Li Xiaoqiang zigzagging ahead, sneered, “Kid, I’ve said that I enjoy playing games.

Well, now our game begins.

You’re the prey, and I’m the hunter, be careful.”

With that, Zhao Bin shot an arrow.

Li Xiaoqiang heard the wind by his ear and quickly dodged to the side, as the steel arrow shot past him.

Li Xiaoqiang, seeing this, broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

So the chase through the forest continued, with Zhao Bin continuing to say, “Haha, kiddo, here comes the next arrow.”

The next arrow whizzed past Li Xiaoqiang’s ear.

Each time laughter came from behind him, Li Xiaoqiang’s nerves were stretched to the breaking point.

At that moment, Li Xiaoqiang was like a wild wolf in the mountains, surrounded by hunters taking pot-shots at him from behind.

The slightest lapse of attention, and he would be done for.

These actions clearly showed how ruthless Zhao Bin was.

To Zhao Bin, toying with Li Xiaoqiang not only gave him the feeling of looking down on his prey as a superior but also a sense of achievement in seeing how the weak tried to survive in his grasp.

It was a stimulation of the soul; he wanted Li Xiaoqiang to flee in fear.

This effect was akin to watching his enemies slowly die by his hand.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaoqiang had narrowly evaded more than a dozen arrows.

After Li Xiaoqiang had crossed over two mountains and saw the small town in the valley that was glowing faintly, his tense expression finally relaxed.

Li Xiaoqiang shouted loudly, “Spores, come and save me!”

The huge echo resonated throughout Ancient Times.

Seeing the small town in the valley, Zhao Bin also frowned and said coldly, “The game ends now!”

At that moment, several men surrounded Li Xiaoqiang, and Zhao Bin looked at him with a cold glare, “I heard you’ve severed Hu’s tendons in his hands and feet.

Hehe, quite ruthless aren’t you?

Well, I’m going to beat you to the ground then kill you!”

No sooner had Zhao Bin spoken than he shot towards Li Xiaoqiang like a cannonball.

Before Li Xiaoqiang could even react, he felt a pain in his chest, and his body was sent flying.

The moment he hit the tree, a sharp pain coursed through Li Xiaoqiang’s entire body.

A taste of sweetness rose to Li Xiaoqiang’s throat, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; the taste of blood mingled with the salty sweat on his face, uncomfortable.

Li Xiaoqiang had seen Ouyang Mingyue fighting others before and didn’t think much of it, but now facing the brunt himself, he understood how fierce the opponent’s moves were, each one targeting Li Xiaoqiang’s vital points.

Li Xiaoqiang stubbornly stood up, his eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, and said coldly, “If you want to kill me, you’ll have to pay a price!”

At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang wasn’t passive; instead, he chose to take the initiative!
