“What do you mean by pretending to be a female ghost? Moreover, how can it be more interesting than studying antiques? I think you have a secret!” Xu Jiajia did not hide the curiosity on her face.
Su Yun shook his head slightly. He did not want to dwell too much on Master Gu’s attitude. He changed the topic. “Jiajia, I’m preparing to go back. Are you leaving with Teacher Yu and the others?”
“So early? I wanted you to accompany me to the mountains.” Xu Jiajia was a little surprised.
“It’s almost time for the livestream,” Su Yun explained. In fact, there was something else, but he could not say more.
“Isn’t it the same if we livestream here?” Xu Jiajia asked.
“I didn’t bring any equipment, and this place isn’t suitable.” Su Yun shook his head and casually found an excuse.
“Alright, go back first. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay.” Su Yun turned around and left. Xu Jiajia stayed where she was and looked at Su Yun’s back. There was a hint of depression in her big eyes. Seeing that Su Yun had already disappeared around the corner, Xu Jiajia shook her head slightly.
She glanced at both sides. This was the entrance to Burning Light Ancient City. The management office of the ancient city had tried its best to maintain the simple aura here. On both sides of the road were all kinds of unadorned green mountains and boulders. In the middle were a few curved mountain paths.
Ordinary tourists would not go to these mountain paths. It was not that the Burning Light Ancient City’s management office did not allow everyone to go up, but the road was not easy to walk.
Xu Jiajia casually chose one of them and leisurely walked deeper into the green mountain.
The mountain path was a little wet and slippery, and there were all kinds of old trees around. It looked a little scary. However, Xu Jiajia was indeed the daughter of a military family. She was much bolder than ordinary girls and did not care at all.
After walking for two to three hundred meters, Xu Jiajia suddenly stopped. A hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes. She glanced behind her and a clear voice suddenly sounded. “Come out!”
No one answered. There was silence. Xu Jiajia pursed her lips and puffed up her cheeks cutely. She said again, “Stop hiding. If you don’t come out, aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away?”
“You’re very bold.” A voice sounded. Three figures walked out of the bushes at the side and surrounded Xu Jiajia.
The person who spoke was the short and strong man who blocked her escape route. He was wearing a large mask and a hat on his head. The brim of the hat was pulled down and covered his face tightly.
As for the two men who were obviously underlings blocking the other side of the mountain path, their clothes were similar. Such attire was very normal now. Everyone basically covered themselves up when they went to crowded places, so their attire was not very eye-catching.
It was precisely because of this that the short and strong man was a little surprised. He asked in confusion, “How did you discover us?”
“I didn’t notice you guys. I just heard the sound and thought it was a wild boar, ” Xu Jiajia said mockingly.
“I didn’t expect you to be so vigilant.” Of course, the short and strong man wouldn’t believe Xu Jiajia’s scolding. He was a little stunned.
The short and strong man was naturally Pig Head Rong. Xu Jiajia was related to whether he could successfully obtain the Warring States Golden Foil.
Therefore, after knowing that the streamer called Su Yun and Xu Jiajia came to Burning Light Ancient City, he personally took action to prevent his underling from ruining things again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw the streamer leave and Xu Jiajia go up the mountain alone. This was simply a godsend opportunity for Pig Head Rong. He immediately followed with his two lackeys.
The three of them were tomb raiders and were very experienced in traversing the forest. Moreover, they did not make any obvious sounds. Even if ordinary people occasionally heard them pass through the forest, they would ignore it as if it was a wind.
However, this beautiful girl in front of him, who looked like a student, could actually sense that she was being targeted and accurately determine the location of the tracker. This really surprised Pig Head Rong.
How could a girl have such sharp senses?
But Pig Head Rong was only stunned for three seconds before he came back to his senses. This girl was the daughter of Commander Xu from the military. She came from a military family. It was nothing strange if she had sharp senses.
“You’re very smart. A smart person like you should know your current situation very well. If you don’t want to be in any danger, listen to me.”
As Pig Head Rong warned, he gestured for his underling to go forward and restrain Xu Jiajia.
“Beauty, don’t scream. Let me tell you, no one will pay attention to you even if you scream your throat out.” One of the two lackeys was a tall and thin man. He seemed to be especially interested in tying up a beauty. As he excitedly took out a bundle of woven belts from his pocket, he spoke with interest.
Xu Jiajia did not move. She was probably scared silly. The tall and thin man grabbed Xu Jiajia’s arm smugly. Just as he was about to twist her back and tie her up, Xu Jiajia’s wrist suddenly moved and grabbed the tall and thin man’s arm.
The tall and thin man staggered forward. Before he could react, he felt like he was riding a cloud. In front of him was the rapidly approaching ground.
With a smack, the tall and thin man was thrown to the ground over his shoulder. His tailbone hit the mountain rock hard, causing him to howl in pain.
However, he was only halfway through his scream when it stopped. Xu Jiajia took the opportunity to kick him below the dantian, causing his scream to return to his stomach.
The tall and thin man clutched his balls and twitched on the ground. The burly underling was shocked. He subconsciously grabbed Xu Jiajia’s shoulder, but just as he reached out, Xu Jiajia grabbed him.
The burly underling was just about to use his strength advantage to escape when a slender and beautiful leg suddenly appeared in front of him and wrapped around his arm like a poisonous snake. A heavy force suddenly pressed down, and the burly underling was pressed to the ground without any resistance.
Xu Jiajia used her counterpoint technique to crush the burly underling. She did not stand on ceremony and twisted her body, grabbing the other party’s wrist with both hands.
The burly underling suddenly let out a painful roar. Unfortunately, he was pressed to the ground by Xu Jiajia’s counterpoint technique. His face was stuck in the mud, and he could only hear a muffled whimper.
Xu Jiajia had never made a move in front of others to avoid being noticed.
However, now that she was dealing with a few tomb raiders, she felt that it was Xu Jiajia refused to give up. Just as she was about to exert strength again, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
“Stop, if you don’t want to die!”
Xu Jiajia subconsciously looked up at Pig Head Rong, who was not far away. Pig Head Rong stood on the spot and did not move. However, a pistol appeared in his hand, and the black muzzle was pointed straight at Xu Jiajia.
“I don’t believe you dare to shoot here.” Xu Jiajia’s pupils constricted, but there was no fear on her face.
“It’s true that I don’t really want to use a gun, but if you force me, it’s hard to say.” There was a hint of ruthlessness and surprise in Pig Head Rong’s voice.
He had also thought carefully about choosing Xu Jiajia to attack. Although he had already found the streamer called Su Yun and thought that the other party might have obtained the golden foil and had already grasped the other party’s whereabouts, he was a little afraid.
The main thing was that he did not know if that streamer was the mysterious saber expert who had killed his underling, Three. The scene of Three dying too miserably and blood gushing out of his throat still lingered in Pig Head Rong’s mind.
The unknown was the most terrifying thing. Pig Head Rong had walked in the illegal area for so long and had not been killed or captured. The most important thing was his caution.
Since it was difficult to confirm that streamer’s identity, it was not easy to do anything.
In that case, it was the same if he chose to attack the people around him!
