Jones left, and the woman immediately ran to the captain's tent in the rain.
She anxiously told the captain what had happened. The captain knew that Jones, whom he had known for more than ten years, was absolutely not an impulsive person. Everything he did was the result of careful consideration.
Since he wanted to enter the forest, he must have his reasons.
"This must not be told to anyone, otherwise we may miss the last chance of survival!"
The captain said to the woman.
The woman nodded cautiously. Their trust in Jones had long surpassed themselves. If it weren't for him, they would have died soon after landing on the island. How could they still be alive like now?
Even the tents, clothes and food they exchanged were all thanks to Jones.
If this man was not disabled, all the mercenaries on this ship would be in awe of him. According to seniority, Jones was their predecessor!
Because Jones also came out of the Assassin Camp, and was one of the first batch!
The first batch of assassins existed to make a name for the Assassin Camp, and they were also the most powerful. At that time, only ten were left out of hundreds of elite teenagers trained.
Now only two of those ten are left.
One was Enchantress, and the other was Jones, whose codename was Lone Blood.
In addition, Ghost King, whose strength was on par with Jones, was the last batch before the Assassin Camp's reform.
Of the assassins in the same batch as Ghost King, only Ghost King was left.
That is to say, of the top assassins who remained before the reform of the Assassin Camp, only three were left: Enchantress, Jones, Ghost King.
The reason why the Assassin Camp reformed was because it needed to train assassins on a large scale for the Commander's use. It was also because of their reform that they officially changed the regime in Sri Lanka in recent years and turned from black to white (brief introduction to previous plot).
There was slippery road and rotting leaves everywhere in the rainforest.
Jones picked up a stick to probe the way forward.
Although the visible ground in the forest had been washed away by rain, Jones was an expert in jungle tracking.
He soon found the shoe prints left by Luo Jun last night.
Although the footprints were no longer very clear, Jones could still analyze some information about Luo Jun from the observed shoe prints.
Such as Luo Jun's height, weight, and the style and professionalism of this person.
Because Luo Jun walked and jumped along the bottom of the tree roots, there would be no continuous walking shoe prints, not to mention a complete shoe print. It would be extremely difficult to even find them, let alone track them.
Ordinary reconnaissance personnel would not be able to discover these traces.
But Jones was no ordinary man.
Not many people knew how to hide their tracks so exquisitely, and Jones knew most of them.
He thought it was Ghost King at first, but Ghost King should be active around Europe at this time, and would definitely not appear here.
So this made Jones very curious about finding out all the details of the person who left this footprint.
Of the assassins before the reform of the Assassin Camp, only the three of them were left, and of these three, apart from Ghost King and himself, there was only Enchantress left. But Enchantress was a female assassin, and she should still be training her teenage assassins on Furious Sea Island!
Moreover, the woman he met last night said it was a man!
Where was this guy trained from?
As far as Jones knew, at least in the past decade or so, no one from other underground assassin organizations could compete with the Assassin Camp.
Jones was more and more excited.
He really wanted to know all the details of this guy he was looking for immediately.
But Jones was also not in a hurry. Although he had found his footprints now, it was still very difficult to find him.
This kind of anti-tracking movement method would be very difficult to track even in normal times, let alone now in the rain, most of the footprints had already been washed away.
Jones needed to be patient.
At this time, Luo Jun still did not know that he was being tracked by Jones. He also did not believe that those mercenaries on the ship who only knew how to enjoy women could discover his footprints.
He wanted to wait for the rain to stop before going back to the beach to investigate the ship, hoping they would send someone into the island again.
That way, he could follow them.
If they found the so-called metal, it wouldn't be bad for him to take action. If they didn't find it, he could kill them on their way back to the ship.
Anyway, their people would disappear for no reason when entering the island, and whoever killed them, they wouldn't know.
The only thing Luo Jun worried about was that if too many of their people died on the island, those guys would abandon the mission and sail away.
If that was the case, it would really be troublesome.
Luo Jun sat under the rock layer, whittling and gnawing on dried bear meat.
As he gnawed, the bush in front of him twenty meters away seemed to move suddenly. However, there were too many weeds and disorderly trees in front that the view below one meter above the ground was invisible, so it was impossible to determine what caused the bush to sway.
Although rain would also cause leaves to sway, it would be rhythmic and the amplitude would not be very large.
Luo Jun quickly picked up his rifle and aimed ahead.
After more than ten minutes, there was still no movement there, so Luo Jun became suspicious.
"Could it be caused by accumulated water dripping down?"
Luo Jun looked around at other locations, and found no movement, so he gnawed on the dried bear meat again.
After eating his fill, Luo Jun continued to sit under the rock to observe the situation outside. The plants in front never moved again. The sound of the rain was too noisy for Luo Jun to hear any movement.
Suddenly, Luo Jun noticed that there was a place near the edge of the rock where no rain was dripping.
He realized something, his face changed drastically, and he quickly took out his pistol and shot backwards upside down. There was a black shadow crouching on top of the rock!
He must have poked his head out just now to see Luo Jun's situation under the rock, which caused a small area where the rainwater was blocked.
Just a small area.
If Luo Jun had not been careful enough, he would not have noticed that detail at all!
Luo Jun almost didn't hesitate and fired several shots at the black shadow!
Luo Jun's firing speed was extremely fast. He had already fired two shots while still in the air, and fired another shot when his body hit the ground.
The black shadow's body just shook three times. There was a sound of metal clashes when the bullets hit it, as if the bullets had hit an iron plate!
Luo Jun couldn't even see what the thing was. The thing was wearing a black canvas cloak, like a crouching black ape in tattered sackcloth, with its face buried in the cloak. With the already poor light, its face became pitch black.
The next moment, the guy actually pounced directly from the rock!
Luo Jun's body hurriedly rolled to the side. The guy pounced on Luo Jun's original position.
Luo Jun had already squatted and fired several more shots at the black shadow's body. This time, Luo Jun could be sure that the bullets were hitting an iron plate. That ear-piercing sound was too harsh!
The guy still wanted to pounce over. At that moment, gunshots sounded from another place!
Were there other people?!
Luo Jun subconsciously thought he might be surrounded!

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
