Chapter 1969 - 1806: Ambush

Chapter 1969: Chapter 1806: Ambush

The Biancang Autonomous Region is vast, with only a few cities and towns.

Along the way, they encountered many nomadic herders but didn’t really pass through many towns.

White clouds, blue skies, green grass, vast flocks of sheep, distant snowy mountains...

The scenery along the way was indeed beautiful, the air very fresh, which lifted the spirits of Song Yun and his companion.

After three hours of driving, under Dongfang Yun’s guidance, Song Yun headed towards a remote road.

There was no paved road here, but the ground showed the marks of wheels.

Judging by the looks of it, people frequently traveled this way.

However, as they ventured deeper, the road became rugged, and ordinary cars likely wouldn’t make it through.

But from the tracks on the ground, someone had definitely continued ahead.

Song Yun drove along the grassland below, and after going around a mountain, a large freshwater lake appeared before his eyes.

The lake surface was sparkling, surrounded by mountains.

From afar, several off-road vehicles, Jeep Wranglers, were parked by the lake.

A few men and women dressed in camouflage were cheering and taking photos excitedly by the lakeside.

They seemed to be wealthy and leisurely travelers.

Song Yun stopped the car, looked at Dongfang Yun beside him, and asked, "Is this Kuga Lake?"

"Yes." Dongfang Yun answered and continued, "People outside call this Fairy Lake."

Song Yun laughed, "Fairy Lake? Is it because there are fairies here?"

Dongfang Yun said, "Once, someone saw a fairy here, saying the fairy walked on water across the lake and disappeared gracefully."

Song Yun raised an eyebrow, "That wasn’t a fairy; it was a Hermit."

"That’s right."

Dongfang Yun nodded, looking towards a mountain beyond Kuga Lake, and said, "Our destination is there, over at Mondenlo Mountain."

Following Dongfang Yun’s gaze, Song Yun saw that the mountain was much higher than the others, standing out conspicuously.

He laughed, "Now, can you tell me the details?"

Dongfang Yun said calmly, "I have a friend who is under house arrest in Mondenlo Mountain. Although it’s not a prison, she told me living there is worse than prison. So, I asked you to help me to bring my friend out."

Song Yun asked, "Who is the opponent?"

Dongfang Yun looked at Song Yun and said seriously, "The opponents are all skilled fighters, and there are quite a few of them. I’m wondering if you have the guts to charge in with me."

Song Yun laughed, "Do you know why I eat so much meat but don’t gain weight?"

Dongfang Yun, not understanding why Song Yun suddenly said this, showed a puzzled expression, "Why?"

Song Yun touched the area where his gallbladder was located and said earnestly, "Because all the nutrients I absorb go to building my courage, so my courage is big."

Hearing this, Dongfang Yun couldn’t help but snicker.

Song Yun chuckled and pointed forward, "Even if the opponents are all skilled fighters, even if there are immortals in Mondenlo Mountain, I’ll still charge in with you."

Dongfang Yun put away her smile and said, "By the way, during the rescue mission, no killing is allowed."

No killing?

Then how do we fight?

Song Yun frowned and asked, "Why?"

Dongfang Yun said, "Just no killing, you don’t need to worry about the rest."

"Not killing, that’s a bit limiting."

Song Yun scratched his head and said, "And you know, my trump card is the Black Light Severing Sword. If I can’t kill, then the sword is useless."

Dongfang Yun said, "Rest assured, although the opponents are many and skilled, it shouldn’t be too troubling."

Song Yun asked, "But what if they try to kill me?"

"They won’t kill you."

Dongfang Yun said firmly.

Song Yun showed a skeptical look, "Why do I feel like this jailbreak is just like playing a game?"

"Hey, people over there, come and join us."

At this moment, a voice came from the lakeside by Kuga Lake.

Song Yun looked in the direction of the voice and saw the travelers by the lake waving and inviting them over.

Seeing the travelers inviting them over to play, Song Yun looked at Dongfang Yun, seeking her opinion, "What do you think? Should we pay attention to them?"

Dongfang Yun glanced at the people by the lake and said to Song Yun, "Let’s go, our purpose here is not for fun."

"Mm."

Song Yun nodded, pretended not to hear the travelers’ calls, started the car, and headed around Kuga Lake towards Mondenlo Mountain.

The travelers by the lake showed displeasure on their faces seeing the Grand Cherokee drive away.

Among them, a tall, blond man shouted, "Get in the car, follow them, and see what they’re up to."

The remaining six people got into their cars upon hearing this.

In total, they had three Wrangler Rubicons, and they looked heavily modified.

Although it was unclear if they were seasoned travelers, just from the cars, they seemed pretty professional.

The three Wranglers lined up in a row and accelerated to chase after the Grand Cherokee.

"They’re coming after us."

Song Yun glanced at the rear-view mirror and said to Dongfang Yun.

Dongfang Yun frowned slightly, "They can’t go where we’re heading."

Song Yun said, "Shall I send them away?"

"Alright."

Dongfang Yun nodded.

Song Yun stopped the car, intending to wait for the Wranglers behind to catch up and then send those travelers away.

The three Wranglers were getting closer, almost five meters behind the Grand Cherokee.

Suddenly, the three Wranglers accelerated simultaneously.

Seeing this, Song Yun showed vigilance and said to Dongfang Yun, "Be alert, those people look suspicious."

Just as he finished speaking, the three Wranglers zoomed up and surrounded the Grand Cherokee.

This situation was clearly not right.

Soon after, the windows of the three Wranglers rolled down, and the dark muzzles of guns extended out, aiming at the Grand Cherokee, launching a wild barrage of gunfire.
