Chapter 469 Ambush

Not far ahead, there would be a key stronghold managed by a Red Heart Chamber of Commerce team leader.

Judging from the conversation on the walkie-talkie just now, it was likely that this guy wanted to keep Lu Yu’s bounty for himself. Therefore, he would not reveal Lu Yu’s whereabouts, as he would have to compete with the other team leaders.

“So, should we wait for them here or continue forward?”

Lu Yu thought for a moment, looked at Xu Yuan, and said, “Let’s wait here. That guy won’t reveal our location now, but it might not be the case if he loses us.”

“So, the best way is to get rid of him here, and maybe we can hide our tracks again.”

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement. “No problem, we’ll wait for him here and deal with him!”

“Since we’re going to wait for the enemy to come to our door, we must set up an ambush, or else we’ll be wasting this opportunity.” Han Xuefei expressed her thoughts.

“I think Lu Yu’s undead warriors can surround the location while we hide in the ruins of the two houses to find an opportunity for an attack.”

Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei and nodded, saying, “The plan works, but we can’t be sure if he’ll bring others over or not. We’ll have to adapt according to the situation. Yun Zirou’s crowd control skill and your telekinesis will be suitable for an ambush.”

“Alright, let’s start hiding.”

Under Lu Yu’s control, nearly 20 undead warriors gathered around him.

Lu Yu gave them the order to form a circle around the area. He then instructed them to dig holes and bury themselves in their spots.

They were already dead, and the flames on their bodies wouldn’t go out. So even if they were buried deep underground, there wouldn’t be any problem.

After that, Lu Yu and the rest found a place to hide. The ruins of the two houses were s.p.a.cious enough for the five to hide.

After waiting for less than an hour, Lu Yu could hear the sound of horse hooves galloping.

Without a doubt, it must be the person. However, from the loud and irregular sounds, it didn’t seem like he came alone. There were followers behind him.

At that moment, a group rushed over from the forest and reached the stronghold.

The leader was a muscular man who was 1.8 meters tall. His muscles were ma.s.sive, and his black leather clothes were inlaid with numerous precious gems, as were his hands, which were choked full of rings.

There were several large gold chains around his neck. When he grinned, anyone could see his golden teeth.

Looking at his outfit, one could tell he was a nouveau riche who liked to show off.

He was riding a black horse with four others behind him, each on a horse.

“Brother Jianlong, are you sure this is the place?”

They all pulled on the reins and stopped the horses.

The leader was called Zhang Jianlong. Not only was he powerful, but he was wealthy beyond belief.

“This is the place. Can’t you see that the stronghold has been reduced to ruins?” He kicked the horse with his heel as he spoke and moved forward slowly.

“It’s sure strange. There must be a huge battle here just now, but to h.e.l.l with it; there’s not a single corpse!”

“Boss, they’ve buried all the corpses!”

“Of course, I’m not blind. How can I not see it? The point is, why did they clean up the battlefield? ”

“They must have been afraid of the boss’s reputation, so they cleaned up the scene and immediately fled,” one of his subordinates said with a flattering smile.

“Haha, what you’ve said does make some sense.” Zhang Jianlong couldn’t help but smile.

“Search the surrounding area. We must capture him alive!” He continued.

The underling was confused and asked, “Boss, why do we have to capture him alive? That guy killed a group of our brothers, so let’s just take revenge on him.”

Zhang Jianlong glared at him and said in a firm tone, “Don’t talk about that again. Originally, the order I received was also to kill that guy.”

“But for some reason, the order was changed. It was changed to capture him alive, no matter the situation!”

“What the h.e.l.l, can’t we just kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Why do we need to capture him alive?”

Another person asked in confusion.

“I’ve heard that the captain at headquarters was previously so furious that he wanted nothing more than to tear Lu Yu apart. But he suddenly changed his att.i.tude and ordered us to capture Lu Yu alive. It doesn’t seem right, no matter how I think about it.”

As one of the lackeys said that, another immediately retorted, “What do you know? Maybe the captain is so angry that he wants to torture him personally. It’s normal. Maybe he just has this kind of interest.”

Their discussion was interrupted by Zhang Jianlong.

“Cut the c.r.a.p. Jiang Lintian isn’t like that. He has a fiery temper, but he isn’t the sort of person to torture someone slowly. Someone is clearly putting pressure on him!”

The two underlings’ eyes widened. “Who dares order Jiang Lintian around?”

“d.a.m.n, what a shocker. I mean, no one in the four teams in these ancient ruins can have such commanding power!”

“Yeah, even the princess of the Lionheart Empire doesn’t have the status and power to order Jiang Lintian around.”

The underlings discussed heatedly, as this was a strange matter.

Zhang Jianlong didn’t say a word and continued to move forward slowly.

Soon, they arrived at the ruins.

“Check the place out and see if you can find any clues. We can’t let Lu Yu escape, or we’ll lose our bounty!”

“Roger that!”

A few underlings got off their horses and walked into the ruins.

They began to search the collapsed houses.

When one of them flipped open a huge stone slab, he was shocked to see a muscular man lying under it!

“Eh? There’s actually someone here!”

Swoos.h.!.+

A cold light flashed, and a sword slashed out. The sword penetrated the person’s armor, and the sharp blade cut into his chest.

The person quickly pressed his hands against the sword to stop it from penetrating further.

“s.h.i.+t, someone ambushed me!”

Another three underlings saw this and rushed over to help.

However, the next moment, the gravel on the ground suddenly rose up and flipped toward the three of them.

“What? Controlling inanimate objects? There’s an esper here!”

“How many enemies are there? This is an ambus.h.!.+”

While the enemies were in disarray, Yun Zirou jumped out from the side and used her illusionary eyes to lock one of them in place. She then pulled out a dagger and rushed forward.

Just as Yun Zirou made her move, another person stepped in front of her to protect his teammate.

“Woman, you’re quite bold. How dare you ambush us?”

Just as he finished speaking, a light flashed and exploded in front of his eyes. The burst of glaring light caused his eyes to turn white.
