149: Chapter 141: Sniper Bullet in the City Zone_1 149: Chapter 141: Sniper Bullet in the City Zone_1 The secret technique eting ended, and Mu You returned to the reality, finding himself once again in his narrow and dim bedroom.
Mu You pulled out the two scrolls to inspect them.
This eting had been quite successful.
He obtained four regular spells, two black magic spells, and these two intact spell scrolls.
One of them is a high-level spell, which would fetch quite a few points if posted on Dragon Soars software.
However, Mu You wasn’t eager to post it.
Even though the products exchanged on the software are anonymous, for safety’s sake, he decided to wait for a bit.
The house was quiet at this mont.
Cola wasn’t on the bed.
Mu You heard the scraping sound of cat litter being moved downstairs and guessed the cat was using the washroom.
“Little Ji?” Mu You called out the na of the small spider again, but there was no response.
Looking up, he could see a cocoon-shaped nest built with spider webs on the ceiling of his bedroom.
The nest was open only at a small corner against the wall.
Mu You climbed up to take a look.
The pink-shelled little spider was sleeping soundly in the nest, covered with a blanket of spider silk.
Young Gluttonous Demon Spiders needed a good amount of sleep, especially when there was not enough food at ho to feed it.
Mu You had firmly instructed Little Ji not to harm the small animals in the shop and not to weave webs for hunting outside, lest soone discover it.
As a result, Little Ji could not catch enough prey every day.
It was hardly full, feeding only on the magical beast materials Mu You could get from killing beasts in gas.
It could only sleep more to conserve energy.
Mu You didn’t disturb it.
He went down to the ground, switched to his Vampire skin, released the Gargoyle, transferred so life energy to it to extend its lifespan a little.
Then, he switched to the Watchman skin, took out the Pumpkin Lantern, and prepared to go out to complete the watchman’s task.
Even though his lifespan was currently over five hundred years, he felt more affluent than before.
He decided not to waste these insignificant longevity tasks every day.
As Mu You was about to step out the door, Cola happened to co upstairs and saw him.
“Mu You?
Where are you going?”
“Going to patrol…
What’s wrong with you?”
Mu You noticed that Cola seed to be dispirited, its eyes were half-closed, and it looked listless.
“Patrol, huh…
I want to go with you.” Cola suddenly said.
“Oh?
You want to co along?”
Mu You was quite surprised.
Would this cat, who usually glued to his phone all day, really agree to go out?
“I need to workout…
Losing so weight…”
Cola said in a helpless tone, realizing its position at ho had been dropping lately.
It’s not just that it can’t beat the bird, it can’t defeat the mantis, and it’s even less of a match for the spider.
Most importantly, the two pet owners at ho have new pets, and they didn’t seem to care about it as much.
The cat food was dumped directly into the automatic feeder every day.
No one had petted it for a long ti, leaving Cola with a great sense of emptiness.
What Cola didn’t dare tell Mu You was that it just had a nightmare.
In its dream, it was driven out of the house by Mu You for being useless, and it beca a stray cat.
From then on, it could not eat delicious cat food and had to rummage through garbage cans for stale rice every day.
It was so fat that even female cats ignored it during mating season, and it was often beaten up by other male cats.
The worst part was that in the dream, it finally found its owner, but the owner didn’t recognize it because it was too fat.
It beca a stray cat that nobody wanted…
Waking up in a cold sweat from the nightmare, Cola was determined to lose weight.
It wanted to regain its posh and handso Arican Shorthair status and secure its position at ho!
“Alright, co with .”
Mu You led Cola outside.
He had planned to stick to his routine and head for the usual fishing spot in the park, but since Cola wanted to go for a run, he decided to accompany it for a walk around the block.
As Mu You, shrouded in the Invisibility Cloak, was on his phone and strolling down the street, Cola was following him breathlessly with its tongue hanging out.
“Hang in there!
One hour of night running every day, and you’ll lose weight!” Mu You occasionally encouraged it.
Cola was keeping up quite well, not complaining at all, which was impressive given that cats are not great at endurance.
In no ti, half an hour had passed, and Mu You had taken it across three whole streets, covering almost three thousand ters.
But, just when he felt that they had done enough and was about to turn back with Cola…
The Canary, which was invisible along with him on his shoulder, suddenly fluttered its wings.
“Watch out!”
“Whoosh!”
Mu You instinctively dodged to the side upon hearing the warning.
The sound of sothing piercing the air was heard, but the target wasn’t him.
It was Cola.
Next second, a bloody hole appeared on Cola’s head.
Partly with its mouth open, the cat was knocked to the ground, motionless.
A pool of blood poured out from behind its head.
“Soone ambushed us?!!”
Mu You looked at the abruptly dead Cola on the ground, his pupils contracted sharply.
Various thoughts raced across his mind, and his right hand instinctively reached into his pocket to push the Ti Pocket Watch.
Ti rapidly reversed, and everything went back to five seconds ago in a blink of an eye.
Cola was still gasping and running in the dark.
anwhile, Mu You suddenly stopped and called out, “Cola!”
“ow?
What’s up?”
Cola instinctively halted and turned its head to look at Mu You quizzically.
“Bang!”
Just as it stopped, a bullet fell from the sky and exploded on the brick road ahead.
The stone chips splashed onto Cola’s face.
“ow!!”
Cola jumped three feet high as a reflex, yowling in shock.
It dashed into the shadows at the fastest speed it had ever reached, leaving behind a few black trails.
But Mu You stayed where he was, looking up in the direction from where the bullet ca.
This ti, he had the ti to see clearly.
The bullet was a sniper bullet!
Judging by the angle at which the bullet fell and the prediction ti, it must have been shot from a building at least a thousand ters away!
The bullet wasn’t aid at him, and Cola seed to be just an ordinary Arican Shorthair.
Being so close to Cola, if the other party could sense the magical power from Cola, they couldn’t possibly not sense his.
But, in the end, the bullet still hit Cola’s head.
That left only one possibility: They didn’t notice him because he was invisible!
Why would soone want to kill Cola…
At this point, the only things Mu You could think of were ‘animal abuse’ and ‘killing out of boredom’.
Regardless, the appearance of a sniper in a city was a very serious matter!
Mu You silently walked into the shadows at the side of the street, hiding from the angle of the sniper, then dialed Zhang Yang’s number.
“Hello?
Mu You?”
Zhang Yang was a bit confused from being awoken so late at night, but as soon as he heard what Mu You had to say, he imdiately woke up.
“That happened?
Where?”
“Near the intersection of Xinhua Road and Donghe Street…” Mu You said.
“Alright, I’ll check it out imdiately.
Stay there and don’t act rashly!” Zhang Yang warned before hurriedly hanging up the phone.
Mu You put away his phone, continued to hide in the dark, and covertly sent the nearby Shadow War Eagle to hover around the area.
The invisible war eagle patrolled from high above, focusing its scrutiny on the cluster of buildings from where the bullet had been fired.
After less than half a minute, it spotted sothing on the rooftop of a tall building.
Two black-clad snipers, a young man and a middle-aged man with guns pointed in different directions, were flat on their stomachs on the rooftop.
The young sniper removed his eye from the scope, looked at the empty street in the distance, and made a face: “Tch, I missed…”
The man beside him imdiately scowled and turned his head, saying unhappily: “Focus on the mission!”
“Got it…”
…
The war eagle silently circled above the building.
Mu You couldn’t hear their conversation from this distance, but through the eagle’s perspective, he was able to decipher the two n’s attributes in his Omniscient Crystal.
[Level 11 player (Sleeping Dragon), Strength 15, Agility 26, Intelligence 41, Constitution 12, HP 1200, Magic Power 4100.]
[Level 10 player (Phoenix Chick), Strength 40, Agility 20, Intelligence 10, Constitution 15, HP 1500, Magic Power 1000.]
Mu You was taken aback.
On this small rooftop, he hadn’t expected to find a Sleeping Dragon and a Phoenix Chick!
However, what on earth were two players above level ten doing on the rooftop so late at night?
Were they planning an ambush?
Mu You followed their line of sight and examined the layout of the area.
He had a vague sense of sothing atypical: If it were indeed an ambush, there should be more than just these two…
With that thought in mind, he had his war eagle continue searching the surrounding area.
As he suspected, he quickly found more hidden soldiers.
One, two, three… twenty-three in total!
Including the two snipers, that made for a total of twenty-five people, all of whom were competent players of level ten or above, with one even at level fifteen!
All of them were positioned around an intersection ahead, hidden in every corner around the area.
So stood, so crouched, so lay prone, each blending perfectly into the night.
They all maintained their invisibility, and without the vision of the war eagle, they would have been impossible to detect.
Mu You was stunned.
Twenty-five skilled players, all facing the junction of those two streets.
They were gearing up for a huge operation—whom were they ambushing?
While he was wondering, a sedan drove up on the road in the distance.
The car itself wasn’t conspicuous, just an ordinary Audi.
Even at this hour, it wasn’t unusual to see such a car driving about.
But what Mu You noticed was that the mont the car appeared, the actions of the twenty-five individuals changed simultaneously.
Imdiately, Mu You knew this must be their intended target!
Just then, his phone rang.
After picking up, the first thing Old Zhang said was: “This is bad!”
“What happened?”
“I just found out that tonight, a special envoy from a northern alliance has scheduled a secret visit to our nation to discuss server-wide tasks.
They landed about ten minutes ago and are now heading to the embassy.
And this intersection is right on their way.
I fear that these people are after this special envoy!”
“Unfortunately, you’re a step late,” Mu You sighed.
As Zhang Yang spoke, Mu You watched as the car stopped just as it was approaching the intersection.
The occupants seed to want to reverse, apparently having received so news.
But it was a bit too late.
The car had already entered the range of the ambush.
All the hidden n around, at soone’s command, launched their attack ahead of ti.
“The fight has already started?” Zhang Yang asked.
“Of course.”
Mu You focused the eagle-eyed view onto the battlefield in the distance.
For an instant, the brilliance of various spells and the fire from guns and cannons erged like dazzling fireworks, all targeting the small car in their midst.
The sedan was almost imdiately blasted into a piece of charred tal.
But amidst the smoke and the flas, a figure sprang out from the car, clutching a small figure enshrouded in cloth, who appeared to be a young child, maybe five or six years old.
The mont the figure in the car appeared; Mu You, through the Omniscient Crystal, was able to instantly see the individual’s attributes.
