Chapter 454: Weâre Not Bad Guys
âThereâs a wild hen!â
âBlack Ma, White Ma, donât move around on your own.â Chen Zhao restrained the Silly Twins. Twice earlier, theyâd gone after prey on their own, making the humans unable to shoot. The Silly Twins failed to catch the prey too.
They were fast, but most of the prey were small and agile. Once scared, they would disappear instantly.
Black Ma and White Ma were too impulsive. Even though they were demons, their natural wildness was just like a wolf. However, they didnât have a wolfâs hunting techniques. They mostly chased after prey just to have fun.
Risfar raised his gun and aimed at the wild hen eating in the grass.
The gun went off. The henâs head exploded instantly.
âAmazing skills!â Chen Zhao exclaimed. He turned toward Risfar, but his gun wasnât smoking.
Chen Zhao was confused. It wasnât Risfar who fired? Then was it Dell?
Dellâs expression was confused too.
Just then, a woman, all covered up in clothes, walked out. âSorry, thatâs mine.â
A dozen people showed themselves behind the huntress. They seemed to be a team. There were both young and old people, men and women. The variety of people looked more like a tourist group instead of a hunting team.
Right then, a senior walked out of the group. He looked to be around 60 years old, but he wore camo clothing.
âHi,â the man said. âAre you hunters?â
âNo, weâre just enthusiasts, so we came here to hunt,â Risfar answered.
âPeople are hunting in this season?â
âArenât you all as well?â Chen Zhao asked.
âHaha⊠Thatâs true. Letâs introduce ourselves. I am Carlo. Weâre a college field study group.â
âOh, what do you study?â Chen Zhao studied the people behind Carlo.
Who are you trying to fool? You guys say youâre a college field study group? Do you think weâre blind?
Some of them had guarded eyes, as if cautious of Chen Zhaoâs trio. Why would a college field study group be like that?
You think Iâm a fake college professor?
Other than Carlo, the old leader, the other dozen people were all tall and strong. They were fully equipped too. The honestly didnât look like some study group.
Even the huntress from earlier was 1.8 meters. Her eyes were sharp and kept studying Chen Zhao, Risfar and Dell.
They didnât hold regular hunting rifles. They looked like the standard military weapons.
âWeâre a ruins expedition team,â Carlo said.
Did ruins expedition teams all have such amazing equipment nowadays? Chen Zhao didnât believe it.
Anyway, Chen Zhao didnât believe it. You call yourself an expedition team? You look more like mercenaries.
âOh, then we wonât disturb you anymore. Bye.â
âHaâŠâ Carlo laughed. âYou think weâre criminals, huh?â
âUh⊠Donât joke around like that.â
âOkay, weâre not criminals,â Carlo said, laughing heartily. âOf course, weâre not a research team from the government or some college. Weâre a private expedition team.â
âSo, that means you wonât suddenly start shooting at us?â
Chen Zhao was confident in dealing with the six hunters from before because they werenât strong at all. Plus, they only had one unloaded rifle.
But the dozen people before him now were not only fully equipped, but they also had vigilant eyes. Anyone who met their gaze would feel like retreating. So, Chen Zhao wasnât willing to get into a conflict with them. No matter what their background was, Chen Zhao didnât want to have anything to do with them, especially in these deep woods.
The people behind Carlo all laughed as if laughing at Chen Zhaoâs ignorance.
âOur guns arenât used against regular folks like you,â the tall woman from earlier said.
âOkay, I apologize for my mistake. Now, weâre going hunting. Bye.â
âYou guys better not stay here for too long,â Carlo called. âGo hunt elsewhere.â
But the three left without turning around.
âProfessor,â Fannity said. âWhy waste so much time talking to them? They donât trust us at all.â
âWe shouldâve acted meaner to scare them away,â a black guy with no hair said.
âOkay, donât bother with them anymore.â Carlo waved his hand. âWeâve already made a warning. If they keep hanging out around here, weâre not responsible if anything happens.â
âRisfar, could you tell who they were?â
âI couldnât tell. They donât look like mercenaries or poachers.â
âBullsh*t. There arenât any valuable wild animals here. How could there be poachers?â Dell rolled his eyes.
âBut they donât look like good guys either.â
âM4A1 Carbines, plus the M9 Beretta and military knives, and theyâre all wearing bulletproof vests,â Risfar said. âHow are they here for research? Itâs like theyâre here for war.â
âIf they have any illegal motives, why didnât they attack us? Logically, they wouldnât want to be exposed. They would definitely want to try and capture us, or even kill us all.â
âWhatever,â Risfar said. âNo matter what they do, they probably donât mean harm to us. Letâs not stay here anymore. We can go to another mountain so we donât run into them again.â
Chen Zhao and Dell had the same idea. Who knew if that group would still interact with them peacefully if they met again?
The three fumbled around in the forest. Dell and Risfar had high social status, but they hadnât grown up coddled. They performed well in the wilderness and were very independent.
Even Dell, whoâd messed around for a decade, had good shooting skills. He got a rabbit and a wild boar. Risfar only got a wild hen. As for Chen Zhao, he was empty-handed.
âHahaâŠChen, sucks to suck.â
âSeems like hunting is Chenâs weak spot. We have to go hunting more often.â
Chen Zhao missed again. The mountain goat in the distance disappeared in a flash. By the time Chen Zhao raised his gun again, the goat was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Zhao threw his gun onto the ground in anger. âMotherf*cker, this gun isnât accurate. Risfar, you gave me a bad gun. Itâs definitely the gunâs problem.â
âHaha⊠Want to trade with me?â

âThereâs a problem with the bullets too.â
âThen trade the bullets too.â
âJohnny, I think Chen will say thereâs something wrong with the gunpowder too.â
Just then, it started drizzling.
