Chapter 51: Viper Team (2)

Chu Zhou and the other three saw another martial artist team in no time.
There were five people in that martial artist team.
They had just hunted a group of Iron-Horned Wild Bulls.
The corpses of seven to eight Iron-Horned Wild Bulls lay on the grass, bleeding all over the ground.
“Who’s there!”
There was a cold shout suddenly. A cunning man with a black eyepatch on his left eye and a mechanical arm in his right hand looked at Chu Zhou and the others.
“Do you want to snatch the prey?”
Another person smiled coldly and squatted down. He pointed his sniper rifle at Chu Zhou and the others.
The other three also looked at Chu Zhou and the gang with killing intent, as if they would attack at any time.
“Not good! They just killed the Iron-Horned Wild Bull and we appeared… I’m afraid they misunderstood that we’re going to snatch their prey.”
The expressions of Chu Zhou and the others changed slightly as Li Qingshi spoke.
This might be their first time hunting in the wilderness,
but they had also learned some unwritten rules about martial artists hunting monsters in the wilderness from the martial artist forum.
It was best not to appear in the vicinity when others had just killed monsters.
Otherwise, it was very easy to be mistaken for snatching prey and be mercilessly attacked by the other party.
The reason why such an unspoken rule was formed…
Actually, it was because the snatching of prey had happened too many times.
Humans were complicated animals. When they lived in human cities, they were restrained by the laws and did not dare to act recklessly.
However, the wilderness… It was a lawless place. Anything could happen.
Especially when the benefits were big enough, humans might be even more dangerous than monsters.
Therefore, the wilderness also formed many unwritten rules.
If one did not pay attention to these unwritten rules, it was very easy to cause a misunderstanding and even death once they were violated.
“Let’s go!”
Chu Zhou led Ling Zhan and the other two and slowly retreated dozens of meters before leaving in another direction.
When the five of them saw Chu Zhou and the others leave, they knew that it was a misunderstanding and did not choose to attack them.
Of course, they watched warily while Chu Zhou and the gang disappeared from their sight.
“Those four people just now look so young. They seem to be high school students who have just graduated… Hehe, four novices actually dare to form a martial artist team and come to the Ruins City to kill monsters… They’re courting death!”
Sniper Sun Long sneered.
“I don’t think they’ll survive the night!”
Lu Jun also said disdainfully.
“No… I think I’ve seen the person with the saber on his back somewhere.” The captain, Lu Wu, pinched his chin with his right hand and frowned.
“Captain, Butcher Jin Jingwu sent you a photo when he contacted you yesterday. The person in the photo seems to be the young man who left just now.”
A team member suddenly reminded.
“Chu Zhou, yes! That person just now was Chu Zhou!”
Lu Wu’s single eye suddenly flashed.
“Hehehe, I didn’t expect to be so lucky to meet Chu Zhou here.”
“Everyone, we might be in for big business.” Lu Wu suddenly smiled sinisterly.
“Big business? Those rookies just now?”
Sniper Sun Long, Lu Jun, and the others looked at Lu Wu in surprise.
Their Viper Team had always had “extensive business areas”.
They occasionally worked as an assassin other than hunting monsters normally. They did not reject being a robber when they saw other martial artist teams hunt astonishingly valuable monsters…
In short, their Viper Team could do anything as long as there were enough benefits.
However, a “business” of 10 to 20 million Alliance Dollars could only be considered normal to their Viper Team.
In terms of “big business” , it had to exceed 100 million Alliance Dollars.
Lu Wu pressed his communications watch and contacted Jin Jingwu.
Butcher, you contacted me three days ago and said that I should inform you immediately if I encountered the person in the photo. Is that right?”
Lu Wu said to Jin Jingwu.
Cobra, you saw Chu Zhou? Tell me where he is immediately. I’ll give you 10 million as a reward.”
Jin Jingwu said quickly.
“Hahaha, Butcher, aren’t you underestimating my Cobra’s appetite a little too much? Am I only looking for 10 million? 10 million isn’t even enough for me to fill the gaps between my teeth. Who are you trying to send away?
Lu Wu smiled sinisterly.
Jin Jingwu’s voice paused for a moment. He pondered for a moment and said,
“Then what do you want?”
“Give me 300 million and I’ll help you kill him! How about that?” Lu Wu asked for a sky-high price.
“300 million? You have the cheek to charge me 300 million for killing a
Beginner Awakening Realm martial artist, Cobra? Are you crazy?” Jin Jingwu roared. “100 million, 100 million at most. Take it if you are willing. If you are not, I’ll be able to find him sooner or later!”
“100 million it is. I’ll do this business!”
When Lu Wu heard that Jin Jingwu was about to cut off their connection, he hurriedly agreed to Jin Jingwu’s price.
100 million was not a small amount!
Especially since the target he wanted to kill was only a mere Beginner Awakening Realm martial artist.
Hunting a Beginner Awakening Realm martial artist in this ruined city was too easy for their Viper Team.
Butcher, wait for my good news and prepare to transfer the money.” Lu Wu cut off the connection and said to the four team members,
“Brothers, the business is here. Butcher will give us 100 million if we deal with those four rookies just now.”
“Hahaha, Captain, we can get 100 million just by killing the four novices? This business is very easy!”
“Yes, it’s too easy. It’s been a long time since we’ve received such an easy business.”
The members of the Viper Team chatted in a relaxed manner, not taking Chu Zhou and the others seriously at all.
“Alright, let’s move immediately! We haven’t finished dealing with the four rookies yet… Let’s get rid of them and get the money as soon as possible.”
Lu Wu led the four team members and flew in the direction where Chu Zhou and the others had left as he spoke.
On a small path.
Chu Zhou and the other three carefully passed through the ruins.
“Chu Zhou, I remember the background of that martial artist team just now. The leader of that martial artist team was wearing an eye mask and a mechanical arm. He should be the infamous ‘Cobra’ Lu Wu…
“That team just now was the Viper Team.”
Li Qingshi suddenly said.
‘Cobra’ Lu Wu? This person doesn’t seem to have a good reputation.” Shi Meng frowned and remembered this person.
Not good? It’s simply bad! I heard that ‘Cobra’ Lu Wu and his poisonous snake team often snatch the prey of other martial artist teams and even secretly kill the martial artists in the wilderness many times…”
“The reputation of the Viper Team is as bad as the reputation of the Blood Shadow Team! ”
“Fortunately, we didn’t have a conflict with them just now. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble now.”
Li Qingshi looked a little afraid.
enu Lnou ala not take It to neart too mucn.
They were just passing by. There was no conflict of interest between the two sides.
There was no need for the other party to attack.
Moreover, their team could join forces to hunt high-level beast soldiers. It was not impossible for them to resist.
“Let’s go. We’ve arrived at the west of the city. We’d better find a high ground and the whereabouts of the Scorpion-Tailed Dogs through the telescope.”
Chu Zhou led Ling Zhan and the other two towards a tall building covered in huge vines as he spoke..
