Chen Nan said matter-of-factly, "Because I need free labor to mine jade for me!"
"Chen, you don't take us brothers seriously at all, do you?" a middle-aged man named Li Yao roared, his right hand moving towards his waist.
It bulged there, clearly concealing a weapon.
Han Dal u smiled and waved, signaling him not to act rashly. He then asked curiously, "Why do you think we'll help you mine jade? Aren't you afraid we'll kill you and leave you in the Kunlun Mountains?"
Chen Nan replied, "Mainly, you lack the ability!"
Han Da lu laughed heartily, "I admit you're strong and arrogant, but you seem to have forgotten something."
"This is the Kunlun Mountains. Even if we brothers don't do it ourselves,"
"We can use the unique terrain here to kill you!"
"So, you can't possibly win against us!"
"Enough talk, hand over that map quickly, or I'll order you shot immediately!"
As he spoke,
Five middle-aged men drew pistols from their jackets, their dark muzzles pointed menacingly at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan said indifferently, "The last person who pointed a gun at me is dead!"
"Feigning godhood—"
Before Han Da lu could finish, a wolf's howl echoed from a distance.
Immediately after, a pack of snow wolves appeared around them. Each one was burly and massive. The one in front was over two meters long.
Whimper!
The snow dogs let out low sounds, their eyes filled with fear.
This was the suppression of bloodline.
"Damn it, why are there so many snow wolves?" Han Dongliang's face changed.
He had entered the Kunlun Mountains many times, but he never expected such bad luck this time.
To encounter snow wolves in a pack.
This was undoubtedly one of the most terrifying creatures in the Kunlun Mountains.
"Boss, what should we do?"
The others panicked as well. Although they were armed,
They were no match for dozens of snow wolves.
After all, these creatures were extremely fast, and a single shot wouldn't kill them unless it hit a vital spot.
Han Da lu, worthy of his reputation, raised his pistol and fired five shots consecutively, killing five snow dogs. The scent of blood immediately spread.
"These beasts won't attack humans rashly. Let's retreat first."
He intended to use the five snow dogs as bait to distract the snow wolves.
However,
The snow wolves still stared at Han Da lu, seemingly aware that human flesh tasted better than snow dogs.
"Damn it, these snow wolves are tricky. Everyone get ready. If they attack, try to kill them!" Han Da lu's expression was grim.
Roar!
The wolf king howled at the sky, letting out a fierce cry.
The next moment,
The snow wolves around them bared their teeth and charged at the jade miners.
Chaos erupted.
The atmosphere became extremely tense.
Many even picked up pickaxes, using them as makeshift weapons.
Just as everyone expected a bloody battle,
A humming sound suddenly echoed in their ears.
In the next moment, swords made of snowflakes appeared in the air, densely packed, numbering over a thousand.
Though condensed from snowflakes, these swords were incredibly sharp and emitted a powerful sword energy.
"Holy crap!"
"What... what is this?"
"A miracle?"
Everyone's scalps tingled, their eyes wide with disbelief.
The Kunlun Mountains held too many legends, so the jade miners believed this was a divine intervention.
Yes!
This was more shocking than any movie special effect. If not a miracle, then what else could it be?
The snow wolves also showed signs of apprehension.
The snow wolf king let out a low growl, ordering a retreat.
But.
Chen Nan didn't give them the chance.
Swoosh!
The swords flew through the air, instantly cutting down the snow wolves.
Blood dyed the surrounding snow red, and the pungent smell of blood wafted through the valley, causing some to vomit.
The snow wolf king bared its teeth at Chen Nan before disappearing into the vast snowy mountains.
"Truly heaven-sent! I never imagined a miracle would appear here. If not for this divine protection, we would likely have died here!" Han Da lu laughed heartily.
The others also felt a sense of having survived a catastrophe.
Some even knelt on the ground, kowtowing devoutly.
"Chen, it's time to settle our score, isn't it?" Han Da lu's gaze fixed on Chen Nan.
His few subordinates also re-aimed their guns at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan was amused, "Are you idiots? Do you really believe in miracles?"
"If not, then what?"
"It wasn't a miracle that saved us, was it you?"
Those holding guns looked furious.
Chen Nan shook his head helplessly, "Believe it or not, I can make the miracle reappear."
Han Da lu roared, "If we believe you, we're idiots..."
As soon as he spoke, he was horrified to find a sword made of snowflakes materialize before his eyes.
The sword now hovered in front of him, less than a meter away.
The sword energy emanating from it made his skin crawl and his scalp tingle.
Not just him.
The other five men holding pistols also saw sharp swords appear before them.
They stared like cobras.
"You... you're a cultivator?"
Han Da lu immediately dropped his pistol and knelt on the ground with a thud.
His eyes were filled with terror.
The other five also felt their scalps tingle and dropped their guns, kneeling.
They had thought it was a miracle before.
But they never dreamed that all of this was because of Chen Nan.
It was obvious.
This guy was an expert.
A legendary cultivator.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such means.
A young man named Tu Ba's eyes widened.
He thought Chen Nan was an ordinary person.
That's why he had advised him to leave earlier and not follow Han Da lu and the others.
But he never imagined that the other party was actually a powerful cultivator.
Chen Nan asked calmly, "Do you still want to kill me and take the map from me?"
Han Da lu kowtowed frantically, "Senior, please forgive us. Senior, we were wrong. We beg you to be merciful and spare our lives!"
Heaven knows.
In the face of such a terrifying existence, he was no more than an ant.
They were not in the same league at all.
Chen Nan said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't kill you now. After all, I'm still counting on you to help me mine jade!"
"Thank you, senior, for not killing us. Thank you, senior, for not killing us."
Han Da lu and the others kowtowed with immense gratitude.
Inside, however, they felt a pang of bitterness.
At this moment, he finally understood why Wu Ri Nuo had committed suicide for no reason.
It was clearly Chen Nan's doing.
Of course.
He also understood why Chen Nan had agreed to enter the mountains with them.
He wanted to find a group of free laborers to help him mine jade.
He had actually thought Chen Nan had fallen into their trap.
Now it seemed,
The real hunter was Chen Nan!
A hunter who appeared as the prey!
Damn it.
Just you wait. Even if you're a cultivator, I'll find a chance to kill you!
Han Da lu swore silently in his heart!
