Chapter 294: Chapter 258: Ambush (4300 words)_3
Although he couldn’t leave at the mont, Yan Long was not in a hurry.
He knew very well that there weren’t many exorcist teams with four-star exorcists from Tianng in this Mo Family Village. Not everyone could be of Guo Youliang’s level.
Moreover, there must be powerful strangenesses in other parts of the village, so not all exorcists would be here. He just needed to kill the exorcists that had co this ti, and then he must hurry to leave; otherwise, staying till dawn would be unfavorable for his actions.
With Mo Da’s strength, plus the elent of surprise, even if two three-star exorcists ca at the sa ti, Yan Long wouldn’t be afraid.
Under the eaves of a distant house, Yan Junze, who was about to continue walking, was stopped by Zhang Xiaomo.
Zhang Xiaomo blinked and stared in the direction where the shape of the Old Pagoda Tree was vaguely visible, as if talking to herself, “Over there… there seed to be soone standing just now.”
Yan Junze looked in the distance, pulled out a pair of glasses, but still couldn’t see very clearly, shook his head, “I didn’t see anything, are you sure there was soone there just now?”
Zhang Xiaomo nodded, “There definitely were people standing there, more than one. But they suddenly disappeared just now.”
Yan Junze looked again but still shook his head. Then he exclaid, “You have good eyesight, not like soone who is on their phone every day!”
“Playing on the phone and having good eyesight are two different things,” Zhang Xiaomo corrected him.
Yan Junze paused, not understanding, and then asked, “Might there be strangenesses over there, so do we go or not?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? You’re so powerful, you even blew up the Red Coffin,” Zhang Xiaomo said, “If it’s dangerous when we find Uncle Guo’s body later, I’ll take the body and go first; you cover our retreat.”
Yan Junze nodded, “No problem, you just run with the body, and if you hear any strangeness screaming behind us, don’t look back. That’s the punishnt they deserve.”
Zhang Xiaomo couldn’t help but smile, and the shadow that had been lingering in her heart due to Guo Youliang’s death eased slightly.
Yan Junze led the way forward, and in a short while, they neared the area where the ancient well had collapsed.
They then saw a body of an exorcist lying on the ground, head faced towards Yan Junze’s direction, motionless, clearly already dead.
Upon closer inspection, they found a bloody hole in the person’s back, with blood still slowly seeping out, indicating that he hadn’t been dead for long.
Zhang Xiaomo frowned slightly and looked towards the front to see if there were any abnormalities.
Yan Junze, on the other hand, crouched down and turned the head of the lying man, examining the face of the deceased.
Suddenly, he was taken aback, exclaiming, “This person is called De, we entered Mo Family Village together. His skin still has warmth; he must have just died.”
At that mont, Zhang Xiaomo quickly ran forward a few steps, then crouched down sharply.
Yan Junze was startled and hurriedly followed, only to see Zhang Xiaomo kneeling in front of a body that was mangled, her expression sorrowful.
Yan Junze rembered that the mangled body’s clothing was unmistakably Guo Youliang’s.
But soon he lifted his head and looked to the ground not far away, where another body with a grueso death lay, its face blurred, not allowing a clear view of its features.
But from the clothes and appearance, it seed to be another exorcist.
Zhang Xiaomo gently wiped away the tears that had fallen on her cheeks, stood up, took out her magnetic knife, and was about to approach the corpse that appeared to have its upper body split open when Yan Junze held her shoulder from behind.
“Don’t go over there.”
Zhang Xiaomo turned her head to look at him.
Yan Junze stared into her eyes and let out a gentle sigh, “These people must have died recently. Saving Guo Youliang might no longer be possible, but saving them… I believe I can.”
