If Jin Sha were here, she would recognize that beast in an instant...
A Muk.
As the Muk moved closer, the few individuals escorting Alex with the Cang Long Association finally noticed.
The person walking at the very back turned around abruptly, but it was clearly too late.
Within the Muk's muddy body, a massive fist condensed and smashed into the man's face, sending him flying with a single blow.
In the next moment, the Muk lunged towards Alex, enveloping him with its body. The thick mud instantly swallowed Alex whole.
Having succeeded, the Muk rolled its body and began to flee up a nearby pedestrian overpass.
A member of the Cang Long Association immediately raised his gun, but a man beside him grabbed his hand and said, "Are you crazy? What if you kill Alex? Chase!"
After speaking, that man led the charge, vaulting over the roadside barrier and pursuing the Muk.
Bai Ye, who had witnessed everything, couldn't help but be stunned.
He had just been thinking that if no unexpected events occurred, he wouldn't have an opportunity to seize Alex, so he would directly shoot Alex and make sure neither side got the hundred million.
But now, an unexpected event had indeed occurred!
Since that was the case...
Why hesitate? It was time to cause chaos!
As Bai Ye pondered this, he quickly swiveled his rifle, aimed it at a Cang Long Association member who was about to catch up to the Muk, adjusted his breathing, and pulled the trigger!
*Bang!*
The gunshot rang out. Through the scope, a spray of blood erupted from the Cang Long Association member's shoulder.
The distance was too great, and he had missed slightly, but...
Bai Ye adjusted quickly!
Taking another deep breath!
Between one inhale and one exhale, Bai Ye pulled the trigger again!
The Cang Long Association member had instinctively clutched his wound when Bai Ye's second shot arrived. This time, the bullet accurately hit the man's chest, piercing through his body and shattering his heart.
"There's a sniper!" the leader shouted, "Scatter, scatter, find cover!"
A Cang Long Association member looked at the Muk in front of him and said, "But, Alex..."
*Bang!*
At that moment, the gunshot rang out again.
A splash of bright red blood bloomed on the Cang Long Association member's head, and his body fell straight backward.
With that, no one dared to hesitate and quickly scattered to find cover, shrinking back.
Alex was undoubtedly important; he was the hundred million dollar man after all!
However, while a hundred million was very important, it wasn't as important as one's own life.
In this day and age, the most tragic thing would be to die with money unspent, especially when that money was now in someone else's hands.
Taking cover behind a car, the leader quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and said, "Team One, pay attention, Team One, Alex has been kidnapped. It's likely a beast tamer from the Beast Taming World. The opponent is using a mud-like beast, and Alex is wrapped inside its body. They are currently heading towards the Red Gate Bridge, intercept immediately..."
*Bang!*
The leader had only spoken halfway when the gunshot rang out again. Bai Ye's shot pierced the car's body, but unable to pinpoint the exact location, the bullet passed through the car, grazed the man's body, and hit the ground, creating a fist-sized hole.
The leader, his heart pounding, quickly lowered his body, almost shrinking to the underside of the car, and then picked up the walkie-talkie again.
"Xin Jiu, there's a sniper!" the leader said into the walkie-talkie, "Seven o'clock direction. Judging by the height of the buildings, it should be that clock tower!"
On the other side, Bai Ye was still observing the street activity through his scope.
The Muk had already taken Alex far away.
But Bai Ye didn't care much.
With over twenty people from the Cang Long Association, no one could have seized Alex in a head-on confrontation. But as long as he didn't fall into the hands of the Cang Long Association members, there was still a chance!
Therefore, Bai Ye didn't mind helping them tie up the Cang Long Association members.
As Bai Ye thought this, he aimed again and pulled the trigger.
*Bang!*
The bullet hit the guardrail on the street, snapping a railing. The immense force even knocked the guardrail to the ground.
Although he still hadn't hit his target, it was enough to deter them.
But at that very moment...
With a *bang*, a pile of debris suddenly exploded on the windowsill in front of Bai Ye.
Bai Ye reacted quickly, grabbing his rifle and crouching on the ground.
After a moment, Bai Ye cautiously peered out the window again. The instant he did...
*Bang!*
Another shot hit the side of the window, creating a bowl-sized hole in the wall, and countless pieces of debris rained down.
"Damn it!"
Bai Ye cursed under his breath. The Cang Long Association also had a sniper.
Bai Ye positioned his sniper rifle on the windowsill, exposing a small section of the barrel to mislead the opponent. Then, he removed the scope, slipped to another window, and peeked his head out slightly to observe with the scope.
There weren't many buildings better than the clock tower in the vicinity, only a tall building and a similarly tall shopping mall. However, the angles made it difficult to aim at his current window, so the opponent must be firing from below.
As Bai Ye thought this, his gaze fell on a building's advertising billboard. Through the gaps in the billboard, he could faintly see someone lying there.
"Found you!"
Bai Ye grinned, quickly stood up, picked up his sniper rifle, and began to descend the stairs.
On the other side, a short-haired man was lying beneath the billboard, resting a black Type 88 sniper rifle on the billboard's support. This allowed him to aim at the clock tower while lying down.
When the faint figure disappeared, the man paused slightly, then was the first to emerge from behind the billboard, directly climbing up the side steel frame.
Bai Ye rapidly descended three floors, quickly reaching the window and setting up his rifle to aim. This position allowed him to be parallel to the advertising billboard from the side, but due to being on the flank of the opponent's firing cone, it made it difficult for the opponent to see this location.
However, when Bai Ye aimed, there was no longer anyone beneath the billboard.
"So fast?" Bai Ye licked his lips and said, "A true master."
Bai Ye quickly retracted his rifle and continued descending towards the base of the clock tower.
Meanwhile, the man climbed up the support structure. Upon reaching the rooftop, he redeployed his sniper rifle, aiming at the clock tower's exit.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed, and the man couldn't help but frown.
Patience was an essential quality for a sniper, but after ten minutes, even if Bai Ye were climbing, he should have reached the clock tower's exit by now. Why hadn't he appeared?
The man recalled that it took him about two and a half minutes to climb from the billboard to the rooftop. No matter how fast Bai Ye was, he shouldn't have been able to leave the clock tower before him.
But at this moment...
