I Don't Like People Pointing Guns at My Head

Upon hearing the other party inquire about coffins, the members of the "Mountain Antelope Squad" knew that this was a deliberate attempt to cause trouble.

They gripped their muskets tightly, ready for battle.

Bart replied calmly, "We suspected there was a curse on the coffin, so we didn't open it."

He paused, then, fearing the other person might still be persistent, added, "Perhaps, some kind of dog-headed monster will appear."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Beji's face indeed showed a hint of fear.

Those dog-headed monsters could easily kill Second Tier Transcendent. Although he had never been bitten by one, he had no confidence in dealing with them.

But since they've launched an attack, they certainly won't let it go so easily.

Beji's eyes flickered, a cold smile creeping across them, as she said to Bart, "Then you guys go open it, I want to see what's inside."

"What!"

Upon hearing the commanding tone, Bart's expression changed drastically, and he retorted, "Chief Beji, what do you mean by that?"

Beji finally gave up on playing games with these guys and said coldly, "Didn't you understand? I want you to open that coffin."

It wasn't just greed; Beji felt that the appearance of these three coffins was very abrupt, as they hadn't found a way out of the maze after searching for so long.

Perhaps, this is the key to solving the maze!

The risks of opening the coffin were naturally not something the "Iron Feather Gang" could take; these guys in front of them were just right.

These words were like the spark that ignited a battle, and tensions between the two sides rose again.

The Iron Feather Regiment raised dozens of muskets in unison, while the Mountain Antelope Squad retaliated by raising their own guns.

Bart's expression turned grim. If the opponent was Second Tier Transcendent, firing a gun would result in mutual destruction.

But this [Elephant Foot] Beji is only at Third Tier, and muskets have absolutely no chance of winning. It's highly likely that his entire "Mountain Antelope Squad" will be wiped out.

Just as Bart was in a dilemma, a faint voice suddenly came from the stone chamber, "Um... I think it's best not to disturb the sleeping ones in the coffins."

Turning my head, I saw that the one speaking was "Dr. Nicholas," who had been observing coldly the whole time.

Although Rein didn't know what was inside the coffin, he was certain that any "hero" participating in the trial would never touch the coffin in the royal tomb.

If you open it, it will most likely trigger something bad.

It might be fine, but he's not interested in taking that risk.

After listening for so long, Rein finally understood that these guys had already harbored malicious intentions, and reasoning with them wouldn't work.

However, this was exactly what he wanted.

Rein looked at the guy pointing a musket at him, lazily raised his head, and said, "Also, I hate it when people point guns at my head."

What did you say?

Upon hearing this, the hunter opposite Rein gave a mocking sneer.

Instead of being afraid, the guy got angry and poked Rein's forehead with his musket, giving him a look that said, "If you dare touch me, I'll kill you." He sneered, "My commander is talking to your commander. Who the hell do you have the right to speak?"

Under normal circumstances, when the leaders of both groups are negotiating, the group members are not qualified to intervene.

Rein got poked on the head, but he didn't hold back and glared back sharply.

With just that one glance, the hunter felt his soul tremble, his heart skipped a beat, and a sudden, inexplicable fear gripped his heart.

The feeling was as if one foot was already in a coffin.

This made him feel as if he had been bitten by a venomous snake. His hand trembled instinctively out of fear, and he lost his grip on the musket, which clattered to the ground. He then staggered back a few steps.

Upon seeing this, the members of the "Iron Feather Gang" thought that Rein had used some kind of hidden weapon to injure someone, and more than a dozen muskets were turned around and pointed at Rein.

"Kid, you dare to act tough?"

"Court death!"

"."

He started yelling.

Just when I was wondering where to start a fight, this happened to me right in front of me.

Rein rubbed his temples, not giving the group of deliberately nitpicking drama queens any more attention.

He turned to Bart and asked coldly, "Commander Bart, are you very familiar with them?"

Bart swallowed hard, a little nervous. "We're not familiar with each other."

He knew war was about to break out, and he didn't harbor any illusions.

However, he was mentally prepared, and his hands had already quietly rested on the handle of the musket.

If this "Dr. Nicholas" really had to take action, he would fight the enemy to the bitter end, even if it meant risking the entire "Mountain Antelope Squad"!

Upon hearing this somewhat polite form of address, Beji realized that there was actually an outsider in the other group.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but as High-tier Extraordinary, he was used to being arrogant in various Scavenger Gang and was confident in his combat strength.

He asked, "Who are you?"

Rein glanced at him and said calmly, "Who I am is not important. But I think you shouldn't touch that coffin. And you'd better not point guns at me."

"Oh?"

Beji, hearing this tone, felt like a cat whose tail had been guessed, and her heart immediately bristled.

But even this veteran hunter had some sense; he also felt that things were strange in many ways.

I can't quite figure out where this person's calm and composed demeanor in the face of so many guns pointed at him comes from.

At this moment, he suppressed his anger, turned his head to look at Bart, and said sarcastically, "Bart, are you no longer the one in charge of your 'Mountain Antelope Squad'?"

Bart, showing no sign of backing down, coldly replied, "Mr. Nicholas's meaning is my meaning."

Upon hearing this, the members of the "Mountain Antelope Squad" were invigorated, and their guns were all pointed at Beji, with their fingers slightly tightening as they pulled the triggers.

They will fire without hesitation at the command.

"You."

Beji was furious at being so offended by a group of lackeys.

Normally, he would have already charged in.

But his intuition told him that acting impulsively would lead to something bad, so he restrained himself and asked again, "Mr. Nicholas, may I ask which regiment you belong to?"

Rein had no interest in wasting any more words with a group of men pointing guns at his head. He spoke for the last time, his tone no longer polite. "I said, who I am is not important. Now you leave here, and I can pretend nothing happened."

"!!!"

These words immediately put Beji in a dead end.

They've practically stepped on your face, and you still can't stand it?

He now only has two choices: either fight or obey and slink away with his men.

But is he, the leader of the prestigious "Iron Feather Scavenger Squad," easily intimidated?

If he could be scared away by a single sentence, how could he possibly be a regimental commander?

Beji lost her temper and yelled, "Who the hell do you think you are?"

Before I could even utter a curse word to express my anger, I suddenly saw a fist growing larger and larger in my field of vision.

Without saying a word, Rein raised his hand and unleashed a [Cannon Fist].

Naturally, he didn't expect the other party to listen to him.

"You're asking for it!"

Beji roared inwardly, never expecting the other party to attack without warning.

Seeing the sudden burst of Thunder Tiger Battle Qi from Rein's body, he immediately realized that the other party was also a Third Tier Extraordinary!

But

We're both at the Third Tier, so who the hell gave you the audacity to speak to me, [Elephant Foot] Beji, in that tone?

You still dare to lay a hand on me?!

The arrogant thought had barely crossed his mind when he regretted having such an ignorant idea the next second.

The speed of his opponent's punch far exceeded his perception.

He wasn't given any time to react at all.

Beji originally thought that even if she took a punch, it wouldn't be a big deal, but she didn't expect that the power of the punch would far exceed her expectations.

This punch reminded him of a time when he encountered Fourth Tier beast king, the Earth Brown Bear, and was slapped on the head, experiencing that feeling of being on the brink of death.

I almost didn't survive that slap.

This punch was the same.

Even before the fist arrived, the sheer force of the air being compressed by the fist's surface made Beji feel a powerful pressure drilling into his brain.

The fist struck his face squarely, then exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing a second burst of energy damage resembling artillery fire.

In the instant Beji felt dizzy, he realized that this was the ultimate martial art of the fighters: the "Cannon Fist".

We've met our match.

However, Rein didn't give him a chance to regret it.

With his Monstrous Strength, Beji was sent flying backwards like a sandbag, smashing into more than ten people in the passageway behind him, causing them to fall over.

For a moment, it was as if time stood still.

Everyone had somewhat anticipated that a fight would break out.

But no one expected that Beji, the top expert in the eyes of the lone hunters, Third Tier [Elephant Foot], would be blasted away in a single move?

This kind of gap only exists between Transcendent with a large difference in rank.

But the other party is clearly not Fourth Tier Transcendent either.

Before the shock in everyone's minds could fully surface on their faces, suddenly, there was a loud bang in the air.

"Smack!"

The sounds were exceptionally clear in the sealed stone chamber.

Bart and the others felt that their consciousness could no longer keep up with their senses.

They didn't even see how "Mr. Nicholas" threw the punch before Beji's figure flew backward.

Then it seemed like I heard something?

My brain was too shocked to process what was happening.

Upon closer inspection, a flash of light appeared before my eyes, and the person disintegrated into pieces like the light and shadow.

"A phantom image?!"

Bart instantly understood.

This is a top-tier martial art that is rarely seen among ordinary hunters, the [Secret Technique: Divine Speed] of the Six Forms of Combat!

"Beat them!"

Bart was the first to react, drawing his musket with lightning speed and firing a series of shots at the enemy still standing in front of him.

The members of the "Mountain Antelope Squad" were a second slower, but they also fired almost simultaneously.

In a gunfight, whoever fires first gains the upper hand.

For a moment, their morale was actually at a disadvantage against the enemy's thirty-odd men!

The stone chamber was too small. Only half of the "Iron Feather Gang" had rushed in; the other half remained in the passageway.

Just now, that punch sent Captain Beji flying backward, knocking down a large group of people. Caught off guard, and then hit by a volley of musket fire, they were instantly at a disadvantage!

The two sides exchanged blows, the sound of muskets crackling echoing through the passageway, and the shadows flickering.

On the other hand, having chosen to take action, Rein gave Beji no chance to live.

The previous close-range surprise attack, without any preparation, didn't expect to kill a veteran Third Tier expert with a single punch.

Finishing blows is something he's always excelled at.

Beji was blasted away, and Rein's figure followed closely behind, his fists wielding a tiger-like force, unleashing a torrential downpour on the enemy's head.

No need to charge up, ten punches per second!

In that split second, the heavy punch shattered Beji's Bodyguard Battle Qi, and then every punch landed with a resounding crack of bones.

There are no fancy techniques; it's just like firing cannons in quick succession.

He had heard of the name "Elephant Foot" Beji when he was with the hunting team. He had heard that Becky's leg techniques were quite impressive, even comparable to the ultimate Martial Arts Profound Meaning "Storm Slash".

In a more spacious area, this guy might be able to rely on his Movement Technique to maneuver around for a while.

But in this narrow passage, there was absolutely no way he could jump over Rein's [Swiftness]!

The leader was being brutally beaten on the ground, and the members of the "Iron Feather Gang" tried to come to his rescue. However, in this kind of battle between High-tier Extraordinary, there was hardly any room for low-level Transcendent to participate.

Rein was completely unfazed by the musket bullets; they wouldn't even break his skin.

The same applies to sword strikes and sword energy; before his Qi Sea is depleted, low-level Transcendent techniques can hardly break through his Bodyguard Battle Qi.

Poisons and hidden weapons are not allowed in public, and they certainly cannot harm Rein.

A few breaths later, a fist blasted a crater the size of a washbasin into the floor of the tunnel, and the head of [Elephant Foot] Beji was buried in the crater.

From beginning to end, this veteran Third Tier expert never had a single chance to retaliate.

After instantly killing the enemy leader, Rein made a move and easily shook off the guys behind him who were trying to pile on top of him and pin him to the ground.

Then it turned into a one-sided massacre.

In this "Iron Feather Scavenger Squad", apart from the leader who is at the Third Tier, there are four or five at the Second Tier, and the rest are all at the First Tier of Transcendent.

For Rein now, low-level Transcendent are hardly anything he needs to pay special attention to.

The only difference is that most of them only require one punch, while occasionally, heavily armored classes may need two punches to kill them.

He fought like a complete brute, recklessly charging into the hail of bullets between the two sides.

On the other side, Bart and his men only saw a person moving so fast that only a series of afterimages left behind as they weaved through the crowd, and then they watched as the enemy fell down in droves like wheat being harvested.

Then, this group battle, which should have ended in mutual destruction, began.

In the midst of Rein's reckless rampage, it crumbled in an instant.

The entire fight, from the first punch to the end, took only a dozen or so breaths.

"Cease fire! Cease fire now!"

Bart's senses were superior to the other members. He was the first to spot the god-like Rein and tried to stop his own team from firing and accidentally injuring friendly forces.

But amidst the hail of bullets, the shouts were drowned out by the gunfire.

Then, to his astonishment, he watched as both sides' muskets struck "Mr. Nicholas" quite a few times.

Thankfully, there was no blood to be seen. The bullets visibly struck the muscle layer before falling to the ground.

High-tier Extraordinary!

Bart felt relieved.

The chaos lasted only a second.

Without needing to shout anymore, everyone stopped firing.

Because at this moment, everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Squad" saw that there were very few enemies still standing.

At that moment, Rein was choking someone by the neck and crushed it with a "crack".

This is the guy who poked his head with the gun barrel just now.

The mocking words still seemed to echo in his ears, and in that instant, the battle was over.

With the deadly sense of bullets whizzing past their scalps gone, shock finally surfaced on the faces of Bart and the others.

They were utterly shocked by the sight of the corpses lying haphazardly in the stone chamber and passageway.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the arrogant and Elephant Foot Beji, who had just been so cocky, was now a corpse with his head dented into a hole in the ground.

"This was Third Tier expert, and he was killed in just one exchange?"

Everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Squad" swallowed hard in unison.

Although they guessed that this "Dr. Nicholas" was very capable, they did not expect him to be this capable.

But reality didn't keep their shock long, because in this gunfight, many of their own men were also injured.

"Commander, Paul has been shot!"

"Oh, damn it! Jack's been hit in a vital spot too!"

"."

Bart felt a pang of guilt as he listened. Every member of the group was like family to him, and the deaths and injuries were like a knife to his heart.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, bringing a sense of inexplicable peace.

"Let me see."

Rein walked over, his expression unchanged, just as calm and collected as before.

Upon final inspection of the battlefield, it was discovered that all thirty-six members of the opposing "Iron Feather Gang" had been wiped out.

Apart from one unlucky fellow who was shot in the head with a musket and died on the spot, the "Mountain Antelope Squad" only had two or three seriously wounded and seven or eight lightly wounded, so the losses were not significant.

Even if someone's head is blown off, Rein can't save them, but as long as a seriously wounded person's head isn't blown off, they won't die in his hands.

Rein and Sister Pasha worked for nearly an hour to treat all the wounded.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After counting their spoils, the "Mountain Antelope Squad" members became rich once again.

After all, the "Iron Feather Gang" was a medium-sized gang dozens of times larger than them, and its equipment, potions, and martial arts skills were all of elite quality.

Then, after changing their gear, the entire "Mountain Antelope Squad's" physical capabilities instantly improved significantly.

Bart directly removed the storage ring from Beji's corpse (Elephant Foot), without checking what was inside, and handed it to Rein.

This time, Rein didn't refuse either.

If we give them more, they should be terrified.

Previously, the members of the "Mountain Antelope Squad" were very Rein's strength.

Now that they've seen it with their own eyes, no one is curious anymore.

No one dared to ask.

Those who excel in that field are beyond their reach.

The group lingered in the stone chamber for several more hours. It was unclear whether the strong smell of blood deterred those who had strayed into the place, or whether there were simply not many living people left in the ruins.

For several hours after the "Iron Feather Gang" group entered, no one else broke into the safe house.

After the injection, the wounded recovered quickly.

At this point, Rein had no intention of staying in the safe house any longer. He called out to everyone, "Let's go, we should also go and see how to get out of this maze."
