Chapter 211: Chapter 144: Going Up to Capture It Alive

This shows that the life of these hunters is anything but easy.

The great forest of Liuli Country connects to an even more ancient Primitive Forest teeming with wild beasts. Even though an isolation net has been erected to separate them, many ferocious animals still manage to enter here.

"They passed through here a few days ago, there must be footprints left behind. Let’s search more carefully," Shao Changfeng said with a profound gaze.

Then, turning to Gu Xiaoxi with a hint of concern, he continued, "Everyone, keep formation and pay attention to safety. Don’t wander off alone."

Although he knew she would be alright, he couldn’t help but worry about her.

Yi Chentian averted his gaze and strode away.

That proudly erect figure was imbued with a sense of vicissitude.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded to Shao Changfeng, then continued with the reconnaissance.

About another hour passed.

They crossed over a tall mountain range and stood on the summit, looking down from the great mountain to a vast expanse of snow-covered landscape.

The bare dense forest stretched as far as the eye could see, a boundless and barren sight.

"This won’t be easy to find. Such a large forest, even with the trees bare, can still obstruct our view. In more than a day’s time, it’s hard to say how far they could have travelled," Shao Changfeng said, gripping the map in his hands tightly. The group had trudged across mountains and streams, only just entering the outer perimeter of the forest.

"It would be best if they haven’t left; otherwise, our mission here would be in vain. Now, I suggest that we split up to act. Keep your Communicators handy and maintain contact at all times," Yi Chentian said seriously.

To speed up the pursuit, this was the only option.

No one disagreed.

"We have two sets of tracking equipment, divided into two teams of ten people each. If you find the enemy, do not act rashly," he said.

Shao Changfeng looked up at the distant woods, his dark eyes exuding a firm determination. He turned to Zhao Zilong and instructed, "Take Luo Chen, Li Jing, Qian Jiangjiang, and Zhu Zheng to go with Commander Yi. The remaining four will follow me."

Yi Chentian also divided his men into two groups, exchanged personnel with Shao Changfeng, and then they prepared to descend the mountain.

The way down the mountain was difficult, especially through the snowy forest after a snowfall. The brilliant sunlight made the snowflakes glisten.

Yet the air was still so cold it made people shiver, especially after a long trek. The sweat soaking their clothes, once mingled with the cold air, felt exceptionally colder.

Shao Changfeng led Gu Xiaoxi, Song Jingyi, and the remaining Yang Jian and Zhong Ming at the front of the six-person team.

Their ten-person team set off first.

Yi Chentian put down his binoculars, and as he looked up at Gu Xiaoxi disappearing with the team, his heart felt a sour pang.

When they met again, there wasn’t even a chance to speak to each other.

She had blacklisted him, and indeed he was angry. But what could he do in the end?

It was his fault to begin with, for letting go. So that now, trying to retrieve something, it seemed he could retrieve nothing at all.

He was just angry and didn’t want to acknowledge her, but he never expected her to be even more ruthless, pretending to be a stranger upon meeting.

Zhao Zilong looked at Yi Chentian with a serious expression, "Commander Yi, we should set off quickly now, it’s getting late. It would be best if we could find them before nightfall. Otherwise, with wild beasts prowling at night, we would be in even more trouble."

"Let’s go!" Yi Chentian turned and led his group in the opposite direction.

Shao Changfeng had entrusted his strongest men to Yi Chentian because he was confident that with him and Gu Xiaoxi present, they were more than capable of handling any sudden situations.

Zhong Ming and Shao Changfeng, once comrades in the Special Forces, had felt resentment because of Gu Xiaoxi, leading to the dissolution of the Flame team. To this day, Zhong Ming still harbored a grudge.

But now, on a mission and under urgent circumstances, he wasn’t going to quibble with Gu Xiaoxi.

While moving, Shao Changfeng used a small model airplane for remote surveillance.

Gu Xiaoxi also fully engaged her hearing and kept watch around her with her weapon at the ready.

After descending the mountain, they spotted a cave.

Inside the cave, there were traces of a fire.

After some reconnaissance, they confirmed the cave was safe and led the team inside.

In the cave, trash bags were strewn about, with fast-food cans and drink bottles everywhere. The discarded remains of food made it clear that these were fresh traces.

"It seems they rested here last night. Let’s pick up the pace and pursue them; we can catch up before nightfall," Shao Changfeng said, his expression grave.

"Report, the footprints outside have been carefully covered up again. It looks like they’ve been very meticulous in covering their tracks," Song Jingyi entered the cave last after a thorough inspection outside.

"I understand," said Shao Changfeng, who by then had a guess in his mind.

"By my estimation, there are at least twenty of them. Judging from the food cans and some footprints here, they’re all large men," Gu Xiaoxi said as she squatted on the ground; many large footprints filled the dry cave in front of her.

Zhong Ming gripped his weapon tightly and turned, his gaze sweeping over the team, "If they are a professional poaching group, there will definitely be more of them, and they might have helicopters to transport supplies. For example, bringing in food and transporting the game out."

"I can’t deny the possibility of any action on their part. Let’s press on quickly and continue to search for their traces," Shao Changfeng ordered. If they got away, this mission would be a failure.

For ten long hours, everyone rushed forward without resting, and finally, they caught up to some scattered human footprints.

And from a great distance, they could hear the roar of wild animals.

Everyone knew they had found them.

The team quickened their pace, running towards the source of the sounds.

Under Gu Xiaoxi’s precise auditory judgment, they rapidly closed in on the hunters.

Shao Changfeng led the team to quietly take cover behind a large boulder and then looked into the distance through binoculars.

About four or five hundred meters in front of them, three tall men had already killed a tiger and were skinning and deboning it.

They even wouldn’t spare a tiger!

Hunting in someone else’s territory was an illegal act, as it was a wholesale slaughter that violated the territory.

"Let’s go and catch them alive," Shao Changfeng’s handsome profile, highlighted by the snow’s reflection, looked particularly ruthless. Then, turning back, he commanded the rest of the team, "Zhong Ming, Gu Xiaoxi, follow me to capture them. The rest of you, keep guard. There are definitely more than these three of them."

"Yes!"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded earnestly.

In reality, she could handle this kind of thing all by herself, but teamwork was also very important.

Shao Changfeng, Zhong Ming, and Gu Xiaoxi moved stealthily towards their target.

Because they were so engrossed in their "work", they didn’t notice anything unusual until they were within a hundred meters.

At that point, Shao Changfeng led the team in a swift charge, sprinting the last hundred meters. As they neared the hunters, the poachers realized something was amiss.

By the time the poachers reacted and started to retaliate, Gu Xiaoxi and Shao Changfeng, along with their third, had already rushed forward and subdued them before they could react.
