176: Chapter 176 A Master! A Sniper's Attack from Ya Ruo

Yang Country, Central Theater Command Center.

The Commander's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intensely at the large screen.

On the screen, a red dot representing Qin Feng's position was slowly moving toward a death zone marked "D-9" on the map.

"He has entered," a staff officer reported in a low voice.

A savage smile finally appeared on the General's face; he picked up the communicator, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Yaro, do you copy? Your prey has entered the hunting ground."

From the other end of the communicator came a cold female voice, devoid of any emotion.

"Received. Tell those pieces of trash of yours to mind their own business and not disturb me."

"Of course." The General was not angry at all; instead, he smiled even more happily.

"Good luck!"

...

D-9 Area, main peak of the mountain range, "Eagles Nest" sniping point.

A tall woman with short, neat hair was lying under a camouflage net, the cold buttstock of her sniper rifle pressed tightly against her shoulder socket.

She was Yaro, the ace secretly trained by the Yang Country military, a woman who could turn sniping into an art form.

She had been lying in wait here for a full day and night.

Like an inanimate rock, she had blended perfectly with her surroundings.

Through the high-magnification scope, she could clearly see two people and one horse at the foot of the mountain.

That man must be the Dragon Country soldier mentioned in the file.

He looked unremarkable.

A trace of contempt curled the corners of Yaro's mouth.

She adjusted her breathing, and her finger rested lightly on the trigger.

As long as that man dared to walk into this jungle, she had absolute confidence that she could end this boring hunt within three seconds.

However, at the very moment she was about to pull the trigger.

An unexpected turn of events occurred!

The man's gaze sharpened; he looked toward the gathering point and just stopped dead in his tracks.

Yaro's pupils constricted slightly.

The distance was not enough; she could not take the shot.

Strange! Why did he stop?

Could she have been discovered?

Yaro quickly dismissed this thought.

Impossible! Her camouflage and her stealth techniques were top-notch.

Not to mention humans, even satellites in the sky couldn't possibly discover her tracks.

Coincidence?

It must be a coincidence.

Yaro was not in a hurry to shoot; she waited patiently for the opponent to walk into her sniping range.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

...

Time ticked away.

But Qin Feng would absolutely not take that step.

However, the bionic spider had already shared the detailed information of over a dozen sniping points onto his retina.

As expected!

There were snipers!

One or two of them were exceptionally well-camouflaged.

If Qin Feng didn't have his war experience from his past life, he really wouldn't have been able to tell.

It seems that if he wants to return to Dragon Country, he must pass this test.

"Chef..."

Lanna felt strange and wanted to ask when they would be on their way.

But she was pulled behind a rock by Qin Feng.

"There are snipers!" Qin Feng's voice sounded in her ear, terrifyingly calm, "And, there is more than one."

Lanna's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

In that instant just now, she felt a cold chill that made the hair on her body stand on end.

"Then what should we do?" Lanna's voice was trembling.

"Don't be afraid." Qin Feng patted her back, his brain working at high speed.

The current situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light; the opponent occupied an absolute terrain advantage.

Charging in blindly would be suicide.

They had come this far, Dragon Country was right before their eyes, and there was no way to retreat!

"Lanna, listen." Qin Feng's eyes became incredibly sharp.

"In a moment, I will find a way to attract their attention."

"You ride Chiyan, don't look back, and use the fastest speed to rush out along the western valley."

"Then what about you?!" Lanna grabbed his arm, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"Me?" Qin Feng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "I'm going to take care of them, and after that, I'll come find you."

"No! It's too dangerous! I can't leave you alone!" Lanna was a bit agitated.

"Oh my, you little maid, are you ordering around your master now?" Qin Feng teased, "Remember, you are my private property, so listen to your master. Go! Get going!"

After saying this, he helped Lanna onto the horse's back and stuffed the reins and that "Queens Whip" into her hands.

"Remember, no matter what you hear, don't stop. Giddy up!"

He slapped the horse's rump hard.

Chiyan let out a high-pitched whinny, its hooves flying, and it galloped toward the western valley like an arrow released from a bowstring.

On the "Eagles Nest" position, Yaro's brows furrowed tightly.

Splitting up to run?

A very clever tactic.

However, it was meaningless in front of her.

Her crosshairs instantly shifted from behind the rock to the galloping steed.

She decided to deal with the woman first and cut off the opponent's mobility.

However, at the very moment she was about to open fire.

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot came from an unexpected direction.

A bullet flew past her scalp, spraying a string of dazzling sparks on the rock behind her.

Yaro's heart skipped a beat.

She instantly judged that this shot did not come from behind the rock earlier, but from a pile of rubble nearly eight hundred meters to her left!

That man had actually completed a position change right under her nose and launched a counterattack against her!

What speed! What precise marksmanship!

For the first time, a grave expression appeared on Yaro's face.

She finally understood that the person she had encountered this time was a true opponent.

She quickly abandoned the idea of shooting Lanna, and her body, like a nimble cat, slid silently to the other side of the rock.

The battle had only just truly begun.

Qin Feng lay in the pile of rubble and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He hadn't expected to take the opponent out with that shot; the goal was just to buy time for Lanna's retreat.

At the same time, it was also a probe.

Judging by the opponent's reaction speed, she was definitely a top-tier expert.

He didn't use the K38 this time; this was a rare opportunity to engage in a sniper duel with an expert.

Qin Feng would never waste such a good training opportunity.

An ordinary sniper rifle was enough!

When he searched through the scope again.

However, that "Eagles Nest" position had returned to a deathly silence, as if that gunshot just now had been an illusion.

Truly an expert!

Qin Feng gave this assessment in his heart.

He didn't act rashly again, but instead focused his mind into the system and ordered: "Little spider, it's your turn to work. Sweep that mountain peak for me, inch by inch!"

In the shadows, a bionic spider silently detached from his combat suit, and like a phantom, it blended into the mountain rocks and grass, moving rapidly toward the direction of the "Eagles Nest".

A silent duel between top snipers officially began in these silent mountains.

The mountain range fell into an eerie silence.

The wind blew across the mountain ridge, making a wailing sound, as if playing a prelude for the impending death.

Yaro and Qin Feng were like two of the most patient cheetahs, each lurking in their own territory, waiting for the other to reveal even the slightest flaw.

Time passed, second by second.

Yaro's heart was in turmoil.

Since she started her career, she had carried out dozens of sniping missions and had never missed.

Nor had she ever encountered an opponent that made her feel as thorny as this one today.

The opponent's calmness, patience, and grasp of the timing of the battle all far exceeded her expectations.

What made her feel even more uneasy was that she always felt as if a pair of invisible eyes were spying on her in the dark.

That feeling made her feel like she had needles on her back.

Just at this moment, a harsh crackle of static suddenly came from her communicator.

Immediately after, a lazy male voice with a hint of mockery rang out.

"Hello? Friend from Yang Country, can you hear me? Stop hiding; I have already seen your position."

"Surrender now, and I'll treat you to authentic Dragon Country braised pork. If you miss this chance, you won't get another."

It was the voice of that Dragon Country soldier!

Yaro's pupils contracted sharply.

How... how could he know my communication frequency?!
