Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1025: 635. Pledge of Allegiance

Moreover, right next to the Little Sapling, the soil on the wilderness was moving strangely.

“Stop, stop, something’s off!” someone shouted.

But it was already too late.

Before the spring hunt convoy got within a 300-meter range, car after car started blowing their tires while speeding.

If it weren’t for Zard using soil to bind the tires of these off-road vehicles, they might all have ended up overturned.

A clump of soil rose from the ground, firmly locking all the vehicles’ hubs in place.

The Shadow looked at Qing Chen with a cheerful smile: “Didn’t you accompany the Autumn Hunting Team for a while last time? Why not join this time? It’s lively with more people. I’m still curious to see what kind of characters the Qing’s Family and Li Family juniors are now.”

Qing Chen shook his head: “Nothing worth seeing, those who participate in the Autumn Hunt and Spring Hunt are just playboys, no need to get acquainted. I’ve shown my face at the number 10 city’s immigration gate, any team approaching without reason is suspicious. Of course, even if it really is the Spring Hunt team, keeping them here is for their own good, to prevent them from heading south to get killed. This battle isn’t something they can partake in, even watching from afar could get them killed.”

At this moment, he used a bucket of water brought by Zard to extinguish the campfire and ordered everyone to hide behind tree trunks.

There were no fools in this team, so no one questioned Qing Chen, all obediently hid away.

Except for the Shadow.

He hid behind a tree, smiling as he asked Qing Chen: “Is such caution necessary? They’re just a group of kids.”

Qing Chen looked at him expressionlessly: “Only by being a bit cautious can we avoid you having to waste your life stepping in. Please, as long as I’m not dead, please don’t intervene anymore.”

The Shadow was momentarily stunned.

It seemed like since tonight when his power backfired on him again, this kid Qing Chen suddenly changed his attitude and started managing him, forbidding him from stealing or dealing with crises.

But, the fundamental goal was to prevent him from using his power to burn through his life.

When had the Shadow ever been managed by anyone?

Even the solemn and stern Qing Clan House Master let him be.

Previously, there’d been big shots from various factions within Qing’s Family who complained to the Family Head about the Shadow’s arrogance, erratic behavior, and disregard for rules.

But the Family Head rarely said anything to the Shadow.

In the internal Qing’s Family shadow meetings, the Shadow had also laughed and told the big shots from various factions: “The person who can manage me hasn’t been born yet.”

Back then, the Shadow was sharp and elusive.

Like the time he robbed Chen Yu and Li Bingxi, who would’ve guessed he scared off two demigods just to target their vegetable patch?

Now, suddenly someone started managing the Shadow, leaving him feeling a bit uneasy but also somewhat warm…

The Shadow muttered quietly: “Damn this!”

His mother passed early, and his father was someone who locked himself up in a dark room daily, never managing him.

No.

There was someone.

The woman named Ning Xiu managed him, Qing Chen was the second.

The Shadow thought of this and suddenly started laughing.

However, at this moment, from the vehicles at the rear of the spring hunt convoy, dozens of people suddenly jumped off the off-road vehicles.

They advanced quickly in tactical formation.

On the vehicles, half of the people watched in horror, realizing that their companions who were supposed to hunt in spring with them had suddenly turned into assassins?!

Not everyone in this convoy had ulterior motives.

At that moment.

Two more people climbed onto the car roofs, propping up their sniper rifles on top and aiming into the woods with their night vision goggles.

One of them held his breath, knowing well that there was a God of Sniper in the woods, and aware of what needed to be done using a sniper rifle at this distance: don’t attempt to adjust your breathing, you must find your target in the shortest time possible and squeeze the trigger.

At this moment, he saw the opponent’s silhouette in his night vision scope.

But what he saw was Qing Chen holding a massive anti-material sniper rifle like a cannon, who had already pulled the trigger.

With a resounding blast, a long bullet erupted from the pitch-black sniper rifle’s barrel, piercing through this sniper’s barrel like thunder.

The sniper had just pulled the trigger, but before he could fire a bullet, it collided with Qing Chen’s bullet inside the barrel, and the whole barrel exploded, blinding this sniper.

And the other sniper on the roof was already toppled over by Zard’s soil upward shove.

This constantly moving Little Sapling on the ground was terrifying like a land shark, obliterating any resistance in its path.

Qing Chen kept pulling the trigger time and time again, within a few short seconds, he had scattered the advancing troops.

He held his breath to listen for any sounds in the woods behind him, but there was nothing, no one was coming at them from behind.

He asked, somewhat puzzled: “Who would send these riffraffs to kill us?”

The Shadow smiled: “These aren’t assassins, they’re cannon fodder.”

“What’s the point of cannon fodder?” Qing Chen asked: “They’re so weak… they can’t even wear us out.”

“Because Chen Yu and Li Bingxi want to ally with certain people in Qing’s Family, those people need to make a feigned surrender,” the Shadow laughed and explained: “These people are just ordinary soldiers. With their identities, I can find out who’s behind them in less than a month. So, once this group of soldiers is sent to make a move on us, there’s no turning back, they must go all the way.”
