This Is a Win-Win Too!

The snowdrift did not look very high, but when he fell into it, he made a large human-shaped crater.

The grouse hidden beneath the snowdrift were startled, flapping their wings and taking to the wind along with the snowflakes.

Xia Chujian landed some distance away and switched the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha to snow camouflage. She did not need Stealth Mode; it was practically the same as being invisible.

Holding her Sniper Rifle, she hid behind a snow pine as thick as a person and aimed at the snowdrift Qiu Shenxing had just fallen into.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

She fired three shots in quick succession, collapsing the snowdrift outright.

More grouse flew out, along with Qiu Shenxing. He quickly crawled from the collapsed snowdrift, rolled to the other side, and hid behind another great tree, avoiding Xia Chujian's aim once more.

After the gunshots, the Exotic Beast Forest seemed even quieter.

Snow still drifted through the air above the collapsed snowdrift, settling softly.

One grouse after another flapped low across the ground, scattering in all directions.

As long as Qiu Shenxing did not show himself, Xia Chujian could not take aim.

In the snow-covered Exotic Beast Forest, only the sound of grouse wings fluttering carried far through the silent night.

Xia Chujian was in no hurry. She simply waited quietly to see who would lose patience first.

Qiu Shenxing feared that the moment he showed himself, he would be shot dead. He was patient as well, staying motionless behind the great tree with his Sniper Rifle in his arms, tense beyond measure.

Second by second, the two remained locked in a standoff for an hour.

Xia Chujian was still exceptionally patient.

Because this was her old trade.

Her three years as a Bounty Hunter had not been spent idling
