Upon reaching the minefield, Sleut quickly moved his feet and began to run.

Though it appeared to be an escape, it actually concealed a sinister intent to kill. If Lin Yifan and his group were to follow blindly, they would definitely trigger the landmines buried underground.

The path Sleut took was the safe path, which was extremely narrow, only thirty centimeters wide; in other words, out of a path of about one hundred and fifty centimeters in width, only a short thirty centimeters was safe.

Besides the path, the areas on both sides of the road were equally unsafe; hence, one shouldn't expect to bypass this trap by taking a detour.

In short, in this region, only the invisible path Sleut was taking, which was thirty centimeters wide, was safe.

Seeing the white official fleeing, Li Dafeng, Lin Yanping, and Li Xiaofeng chased after him without a second thought; but the next moment, all of them were stopped by the experienced Lin Yifan.

"Stop! Don't go forward! There might be deceit!"

"Where is the deceit? Within hundreds of meters, I didn't see any heavy weapons," Lin Yanping asked, puzzled.

"If that white official dares to escape at this time, it means there must be traps they set earlier around here, so don't be easily fooled," Lin Yifan answered.

The old saying goes, 'Do not pursue a desperate foe;' they had no idea what dangers lay ahead, so they couldn't recklessly take the risk, which is taboo in military tactics.

"So what do we do now? Are we just going to watch him escape?" Lin Yanping was somewhat unwilling to give up.

Having come this far, if they failed now, it would be a total loss.

"How could we? Don't we still have weapons? Just wound his legs," Lin Yifan replied.

After saying this, he thrust the sharp sword in his hand towards the fleeing white official.

"Shi!"

The next moment, Sleut screamed in pain and fell to the ground. However, while falling, he quickly adjusted his body to stay as flat as possible.

He knew on both sides were minefields, and if his hands, or any part of his body, strayed from the safe path, he would be blown to bits, leaving no remains.

Once stabilized, he bit through the pain and stood up from the ground, then limped forward.

But after just a few steps, he was stabbed by another sharp sword. This time, it was his shoulder that sustained a painful injury.

This sword had been thrown by Lin Yanping; seeing him daring to flee in her presence, she would not easily let him off; thus, it was severe punishment.

"Dare to move another step, and the next sword will be aimed at your heart," Lin Yifan threatened in a foreign language.

Hearing this, Sleut dared not continue to escape; he did not think the words were empty threats; the hand-thrown accuracy rate of these four Asians was even more precise than Olympic shooting champions, aiming exactly where they wanted, which was extremely abnormal.

After frightening Sleut, Lin Yifan ordered him to return the same way and have Sleut guide them through the minefield.

However, just as Sleut turned around, a bullet struck his head; the next moment, everything went dark for Sleut, and he involuntarily fell down.

Having lost consciousness, Sleut could no longer adjust his body. Thus, the instant he fell to the ground, he triggered a landmine buried next to him.

And with a boom, he was blown to pieces, dying instantly.

Looking at this scene, everyone knew what the trap ahead was, it turned out to be a treacherous minefield.

The explosive power of the mines was in no way inferior to that of rocket grenades, so they couldn't brute-force their way through this area.

"Damn! That's ruthless!" Lin Yifan cursed under his breath.

Sleut must have been killed by his own companion; obviously, if they let Sleut lead the way any longer, it might threaten their base; therefore, for the safety of their base, they had to kill Sleut.

"What do we do now? Without a guide, it seems we won't be able to reach the headquarters of the arms organization." Lin Yanping said, utterly disappointed.

"Don't lose heart. Think about it, and there will always be a solution," Lin Yifan said patiently.

"What other solutions could there be? You're not a member of the arms organization, how could you possibly know where their lair is?" Lin Yanping asked dejectedly.

After spending so much time and effort, to end up with nothing was truly a case of losing the wife and the army.

"If their lair was untraceable, then it would be very troublesome for them to enter and exit as well, so the clever mercenaries of the arms organization wouldn't be that foolish," Lin Yifan answered.

"Even if there are traces to be found, can you really find them? And what if you can't, what then?" Lin Yanping challenged.

"If we really can't find it, then we'll just head back the way we came and continue on our journey, what else can we do?" Lin Yifan responded.

"That would just be a waste of time," Lin Yanping replied.

"Opportunity and shortcuts are right before our eyes, shouldn't we give it a try? The fact that the arms organization decided to kill the Caucasian official only now proves that we're not far from their lair; so since we've come this far, why not take the chance?" Lin Yifan retorted.

"Brother Lin makes a good point. Little Sister Apprentice, let's go over and take a look; it would be a real waste of time otherwise," Li Dafeng persuaded.

Lin Yanping felt there was some truth to this, as going back now would indeed be a true waste of time; so she responded, "Alright! Let's go have a look then."

"Good! We'll use Qinggong to cross this perilous Thunder Zone," Lin Yifan suggested cheerfully.

If we cannot walk on the ground, then surely we can traverse the trees; nothing is too difficult for us Cultivators.

"Alright! Let's set off!" Having said that, Li Dafeng carried Lin Yifan up into the trees, and they moved forward along the mountain path together.

And Lin Yanping and Li Xiaofeng followed close behind.

In the surveillance room, the high-ranking members of the arms organization looking at the screen revealed expressions of disbelief. How was this possible? Could it be that these yellow-skinned people all had a pair of invisible wings on their backs?

However, despite their shock, now that the enemy was nearly at their base, they needed to discuss countermeasures; then, before these yellow-skinned people reached their headquarters, they resolved to kill them all.

The plan was quickly discussed; they decided to use gravity weapons to kill these four exceptionally skilled yellow-skinned people.

But, after the four yellow-skinned people flew into the trees, they disappeared from the surveillance footage; with no trace to follow, they had to rely on soldiers ambushed around the minefield to lock in the position of the four yellow-skinned people.

However, by doing so, they were doomed to expose the positions of their ambushed soldiers; because Lin Yifan and his companions had very sharp ears.

Nevertheless, since they had opted for an offensive approach, they intended to engage in a fierce battle with these four yellow-skinned individuals; thus exposing the positions of their ambushed soldiers didn't matter.
