After advancing several hundred meters along the mountain road, Lin Yifan and his group suddenly came under attack.
Fortunately, they had Cultivation Power, enabling them to sense danger within a few meters or even dozens of meters; therefore, they dodged what they could and resisted what they had to before the bullets even arrived.
Lin Yifan didn't dare to defend blindly because sniper bullets are far more powerful than ordinary bullets; his current Realm was very low, and he probably didn't have enough energy to withstand the high-speed, hard bullets; so he chose to dodge.
Li Dafeng, who was at a High Realm, chose to resist; since bullets no longer posed a threat to him, he was not afraid.
Snipers from the military organization lying in ambush were filled with shock. They had fired their weapons so covertly and yet failed to kill a single person of Yellow descent. How was that possible? Such a strange occurrence shouldn't happen, right?
The bullets were so fast that normal humans couldn't react in time; furthermore, they had fitted their sniper rifles with silencers, reducing the sound of the gunfire to the lowest, and at such a distance, those four people of Yellow descent shouldn't have heard the shots; so how did they detect the incoming danger?
And most bizarre of all was that someone had actually managed to withstand the bullets, which was beyond their comprehension.
While they were still in shock, pebbles, flying at speeds comparable to bullets, started attacking them.
Then, in the next moment, the snipers from the military organization who were hidden in the dark fell to the ground, never to rise again.
After dealing with these few snipers lurking in the shadows, Lin Yifan and his group beat up the Caucasian official quite fiercely.
After venting their anger, Lin Yifan demanded, "Speak! Did you tip them off just now, did you send the message?"
"Big brother! It wasn't me who tipped them off or sent the message; it's the Organization's snipers, set up in ambush here, intending to secretly eliminate any enemies coming up the mountain," the Caucasian official hurriedly explained.
He had a feeling something would go wrong, not expecting it actually to. Now he could only blame himself for not passing on the information about the enemy to the internals of the Organization.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Do you want to die?" Lin Yifan questioned.
He felt that the Caucasian official was lying, but without evidence to prove it, he had no choice but to believe it for now.
"I was too nervous and scared, and I forgot," the Caucasian official replied with trepidation.
Seeing his frightened appearance, it didn't seem like he was lying. It was possible that fear made him forget; after all, the life of the Caucasian official was in their hands, constantly shadowed by fear, unsure when he might die; so his statement made sense.
"You remember now, right?" Lin Yifan asked in a foreign language, "Is there any more danger ahead?"
"There's... there's none left," the Caucasian official stammered in reply, his face full of panic and hesitation.
"That's what you said; if we encounter another attack ahead, you're going to pay with your life!" Lin Yifan threatened fiercely.
He had already given the Caucasian official a chance. If they encountered danger again, it would either be because the Caucasian official had secretly tipped them off or because he deliberately withheld information about dangers deeper in the mountains, aiming to put them to death. Given that, they would definitely increase the severity of his punishment, making his life a living hell.
They wouldn't kill the Caucasian official along the way because until they reached the headquarters of the Fire Organization, the official would still have value to them. Things of value are generally not destroyed unless it's a matter of life and death.
"This..." the Caucasian official panicked. Because he didn't know whether his colleagues would send reinforcements after the failed assassination attempt; if these four people of Yellow descent were attacked again, then he would be doomed.
"What? Are you saying you lied just now? Is there still danger ahead?" Lin Yifan questioned.
"There's none left! None left!" the Caucasian official answered in a rush.
He decided to take a gamble now, unless his colleagues at the headquarters of the Fire Organization wanted him dead as well, they probably wouldn't send anyone else to assist.
Because if even sniper rifles couldn't kill these people of Yellow descent, the high ranks of the Fire Organization would either have to resort to grenades, Rocket Launchers, these kinds of high-damage weapons to deal with these four people and himself.
Or they would do nothing and let him figure it out by himself. In the area near the base, there was a minefield, and only people from inside the Fire Organization knew where to walk to safely pass through it. If the high ranks of the Organization trusted the Caucasian official, then they would let him find a way to deal with these four people of Yellow descent himself.
"Are you sure there's no more? If you dare to lie, I won't be merciful," Lin Yifan warned with a threatening tone.
"I'm certain there's none left!" the Caucasian official answered with widened eyes, lying; he had already made his bet and wouldn't change it.
"Fine, let's move on!" Having said that, Lin Yifan once again urged the Caucasian official to lead the way.
After this attack, Lin Yifan and his group became cautious; even though the Caucasian official said there was no danger, nobody could guarantee his words were absolutely correct; hence, they should always maintain a skeptical mind, staying alert at all times; this was especially necessary during such dangerous incursions deep into enemy territory.
The high ranks of the Fire Organization saw that their assassination mission had failed, and at that moment, they were discussing countermeasures; how to kill those four people of Yellow descent while protecting their own people at the same time.
After discussing for a while and considering various plans, none of which perfectly achieved their objectives, they were frowning in distress, contemplating whether to kill their "brother" when the staff monitoring the surveillance cameras brought a report: "Sir! It looks like Officer Sleut has sent a signal again."
Hearing this news, the high ranks of the Fire Organization immediately turned their gaze to the screens in the monitoring room to observe the message conveyed by the Caucasian official.
It was an "ok" hand gesture, signifying he could handle it himself.
The high ranks of the Fire Organization quickly caught onto the meaning and chose to trust Sleut, letting him resolve the dilemma on his own.
Lin Yifan and his group were unaware that an even greater danger awaited them; however, they had heightened their vigilance and believed that if they were careful, they should be able to safely get through it.
On the other hand, after making the gesture, Sleut let out a deep breath of relief. With this signal, he believed his colleagues wouldn't send more people to deal with the four people of Yellow descent.
Thus, Lin Yifan and his group continued following Sleut, traversing mountains and wading through waters, overcoming one perilous place after another.
Half an hour later, they were finally approaching the minefield.
At this point, Sleut, who had already thought about how to trap and kill Lin Yifan and his group on the road, began to implement his plan for assassination and escape.
