Chapter 1336: Deadly Attack in the Primeval Jungle (Part 1)

"Hmm, very beautiful!"

Even though I don’t care for Shen Tiancheng, and even detest him, it cannot be denied that the moment the fireworks explode is truly beautiful, truly beautiful.

Of course, if the person standing next to her wasn’t Shen Tiancheng, but Bai Chenyao, it would definitely be even more beautiful, even more impressive.

A hint of loneliness flashed in Mu Tiantian’s eyes.

She wondered what Bai Chenyao, who was somewhere unknown, was doing and thinking right now.

——

At the border of Xia Country, the primordial jungle and the snow-covered mountains stretched thousands of miles, endless, and during the winter months, sunlight was scarce.

Moreover, the air was humid, and the snow on the ground was almost as deep as an adult’s knees.

Along the edges of the jungle, there were many scenic spots for tourists to admire.

However, those so-called scenic areas were merely a thousandth of the original jungle, and their danger level was naturally not a match for the depths of the jungle.

The deeper one ventured, the thinner the air, and rotting leaves lay hidden beneath the snow; in places touched by sunlight, the ground was soft and slippery, and in places untouched by sunlight, it was cold and hard like millennium-old ice.

Bai Chenyao, clad in camouflage gear, carried a heavy backpack as he trudged through the jungle.

This marked his fifth day in this primordial jungle.

Li Mu followed behind him, with the same gear and at the same pace, though the speed decreased the further they went.

Furthermore, their eyebrows were encrusted with ice due to water droplets coupled with the frosty weather and extremely low temperatures, looking like a pair of white eyebrows.

"Sir, latest news!"

Li Mu suddenly paused, gazing at Bai Chenyao ahead.

Bai Chenyao did not turn around but stopped, his dark and icy gaze as cold as the surrounding snow-capped mountains.

"Did someone alert the enemy?"

Li Mu shook his head, quickly spoke: "Lei Gang’s second-in-command, Lei Dafu, reportedly left the stronghold with twenty mercenaries!"

Bai Chenyao’s handsome and cool face remained unchanged, his voice cold and very low.

"Where are they heading?"

Li Mu opened the device again for a quick search, soon pinpointing Lei Dafu’s group location.

"They are coming this way, less than a thousand meters from us, heading northwest along their secret path in and out of this primordial jungle."

Bai Chenyao’s gaze shot sharply and icily toward the northwest.

"Why did they suddenly leave the stronghold?"

Li Mu’s expressionless face revealed a trace of confusion, but he quickly checked and soon received information from above.

"It’s said that one of his mistresses got pregnant. Although Lei Dafu is wealthy and second to Boss Thunder Eagle in the gang, he is in his forties and has no children. He does have a wife, who is a feisty cousin of Thunder Eagle but cannot have children and does not allow Lei Dafu to have children with other women!"

The implication was very clear.

Despite knowing that forces were sent to deal with them from above, Lei Dafu risked coming out because he worried his wife would harm his mistress or the unborn.

Hence, he had no choice but to take the risk.

"Sir, should we go and..." Li Mu made a throat-slitting gesture.

Bai Chenyao gazed coldly inside, and shook his head.

"It’s unnecessary. Thunder Eagle is the priority! Moving against Lei Dafu now will only alert Thunder Eagle more, and the gain will not be worth the loss!"

"Understood, sir!"
