Dragon Blood

Chapter 119

Twilight descended and moonlight filtered through the treetops, providing them with a weak illumination. Equipped with infrared night vision goggles, Hawk and Lily took the lead in scouting for traps and landmines. The rest of the team followed closely behind, relying on the moonlight to guide their way. They were now not far from the pirate encampment, and they had to be extra cautious and maintain stealth.

After narrowly avoiding four traps, they finally reached the upstream location of the pirate encampment. Though they were half an hour behind schedule, the tantalizing aroma of meat wafting from the nearby encampment told them that their timing was perfect.

They found a drinking water source marked on the map and poured a pre-prepared colorless and odorless chemical into it. The dose of 500 milliliters was sufficient to let those pirates experience severe vomiting and diarrhea, rendering them unable to move.

Next, all they had to do was wait, wait until most of the people in the encampment suffered this misfortune.

By late night, they peered through the night-vision telescope and witnessed people continuously rushing out of their tents, clutching their stomachs. People were running around frantically, resembling a chaotic scramble of chickens and dogs, far from peaceful or calm.

Ayer assigned tasks accordingly, and he and Tiger Shark led their respective teams down from the high slope where they had been lurking.

Shan Ming and Hawk each found their sniper positions, concealing themselves in the grass, silently waiting for Ayer’s command.

The terrain and environment here were ideal for ambush, and the number of people in the encampment wasn’t large, no more than 300 at most, with many already taken down. The difficulty of this mission wasn’t great, and they all believe that after tonight, they can collect their money and go home. As a result, everyone was in high spirits, eager to defeat these individuals swiftly and joyfully return home to celebrate the new year.

They discovered a large amount of cash within the camp. Everyone discarded some of the cheaper equipment from their backpacks and replaced it with cash. No matter the circumstances, the spoils of war always brought unexpected delights.

Shan Ming patrolled a lap around, carrying his gun, and chuckled. “These pirates were really weak. Thankfully they didn’t establish their stronghold in the water.”

Ayer calculated the profits from this operation and couldn’t help but feel delighted.

Just as Tiger Shark was about to say something, he suddenly wrinkled his nose. “Do you guys smell something?”

Several people nearby also sniffed the air. “It’s the smell of crude oil. Could there be a leak from an oil barrel?”

“Go check it and make sure it doesn’t flow into the sea. If the government of Madagascar discovers it, it could cause trouble for Kenya.”

As a few individuals prepared to go and inspect the situation, they had only taken a few steps when a sudden deafening explosion erupted from behind the camp. A towering blaze erupted, swiftly engulfing the nearest tent in its voracious flames.

“Shit! How did it catch fire? Who? Who did this?” Regardless of who was responsible, if that person was near the crude oil, they were likely reduced to ashes by now.

Just as Tiger Shark finished cursing, flames burst out from another side, and in an instant, the raging fire illuminated the camp, turning it as bright as day. Figures could be seen moving in the nearby forest, and they were definitely not their own people.

Ayer shouted into the radio, “There’s still people! Everyone, be careful!”

The group ran out through gaps in the fire and dashed into the forest, intending to engage in a rainforest guerrilla fight with those unknown individuals who appeared out of nowhere.

Their intuition told them that the people in the forest were the ones who ignited the crude oil, but they definitely weren’t originally from the camp. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to completely annihilate the pirate den so easily.

It could be possible that these individuals were already ambushed in the vicinity, could they be waiting for them? A cloud of suspicion enveloped everyone’s mind. If this group specifically targeted them, they must have been prepared. Who were they? And what was their objective?

The question was soon answered as everyone heard Koski’s voice filled with anger and resentment through their earpieces. “It’s those damn Dragon Blood Kins!”

Everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom.

They fell into a trap. The enemy had set a trap for them in this remote corner of the deserted rainforest on this island surrounded by water. Regardless of whether they could make it out of the forest alive, none of them believed they would ever see the ship sent by the Kenyan government to pick them up. When the Madagascan government discovered the truth behind the burning of the oil, they would send troops into the rainforest, and there would be nowhere for them to escape. They would be trapped here and likely meet their demise.

Who sent these Dragon Blood Kins? Everyone had a guess in mind.

After leaving the camp, they were greeted by a barrage of bullets and attacks from the Dragon Blood Kins. Most of their group had already been scattered. Shan Ming, carrying a gun, maneuvered through the rainforest. Despite being not far apart, the scent of gunpowder and crude oil clung to them, making it all too easy for the Dragon Blood Kins’ keen noses to track them down.

Was it Shen Yao? Who else could it be? Shan Ming clenched his teeth, wishing that he was chewing on Shen Yao’s heart.

A black figure flashed through the nearby woods.

They caught up.

Shan Ming stopped running and leaned against a tree trunk, finding an unexpected sense of calmness in his heart.

Perhaps today was the end of the Peregrine Falcon, and perhaps it was the end of him as well. At the very least, he should take one of those Dragon Blood fuckers with him, ensuring he had some company in hell.

Shan Ming perked up his ears, listening for any sound from his opponent. In his mind, he counted, “One, two, three,” and then swiftly turned around, leaping off the tree trunk and unleashing a barrage of gunfire toward the figure.

The 30 rounds of MP5K ammunition emptied in an instant. That person rolled on the ground and seized the fleeting 0.3 seconds it took for Shan Ming to reload, throwing a knife. Shan Ming quickly dodged backward, narrowly avoiding the blade that grazed his shoulder, leaving behind a searing pain.

The black figure lunged at him with astonishing speed. Shan Ming grabbed the rifle and ruthlessly slammed it onto that person’s head. That person let out a muffled groan and retaliated with a punch to Shan Ming’s face, causing him to see stars as his vision blurred.

The two of them continued their struggle in the pitch-black forest, illuminated only by faint moonlight. However, Shan Ming quickly realized that he was no match for his opponent. This person was a Dragon Blood Kin, someone with the power and speed that could only be unleashed by those with Dragon Blood genes. Even though this person was currently in human form, Shan Ming still wasn’t his match. After taking a powerful punch to his temple, Shan Ming saw a flash of white light before his eyes. In that momentary brightness, he caught a glimpse of Shen Yao’s cold face.
