BXBX NOVEL Chapter 127 - Do You Really Think They Are Farmers?!
Chapter 127: Do You Really Think They Are Farmers?!
The white woman was called Renee. She was in her forties and was once an agent. She was proficient in various assassination techniques and could wield multiple firearms.
On the dark web’s Assassin Alliance ranking, she had 62 stars.
Apparently, she had been genetically modified by a mysterious organization.
When she saw where the golden snub-nosed monkey was headed, she was not anxious at all.
She leaped and easily jumped onto a branch four to five meters above the ground.
She looked and leaped onto another branch.
The golden snub-nosed monkey was vigilant. Once it sensed movement in the surroundings, it could escape like the fish in water.
Renee’s movements were always light and graceful. She was like a cat, landing from tree to tree without making a single sound.
She went back and forth and had gotten closer to the monkey.
At this moment, the golden snub-nosed monkey had stopped on the treetop and was stroking its golden fur, unaware of its approaching death.
Renee raised her dagger. She had already locked onto the monkey.
As long as she threw the dagger, the monkey would die.
Just as she was about to do so, an eagle screeched in the air.
The monkey trembled, all of its fur standing on end. It quickly fled.
“Damn it!” Renee glared angrily at the eagle in the sky.
She immediately chased after the monkey.
…
A few minutes later.
She followed the direction the monkey was headed to and came to a valley.
She looked around but didn’t spot the golden snub-nosed monkey.
That only made her angrier.
“Damned eagle. I’ll skin you alive.”
Renee blamed her failure entirely on the eagle.
On the other side, Jiang Guihua’s group had moved to the next location after digging up all the Moonlight Fruits in the area.
Jiang Guihua led the way, waving her hoe left and right to clear the weeds and bushes on the path.
At the same time, Renee, crouched on a branch, grew increasingly angry at the thought of her failed hunt. She couldn’t help but spit.
She had no idea that a person had appeared below her.
Smack!
Her spit accurately landed on Jiang Guihua’s forehead.
Jiang Guihua faltered and stopped.
At first, she thought that she had been struck by bird shit.
She touched it with her hand. It was sticky. It really seemed bird shit.
Jiang Guihua looked up. There were a few birds. As though they were frightened, they flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
Jiang Guihua felt her heart clench. She frowned as complex emotions flashed in her eyes.
The person behind her asked, “Sister Guihua, why did you stop? Did something happen?”
Jiang Guihua quickly wiped her forehead with her hand and laughed dryly. “It’s nothing, nothing!”
“Okay!”
Jiang Guihua covered her forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, they didn’t see it. Otherwise, that would have been embarrassing.
But what was that unnatural feeling just now?
Is there something dangerous up there?
With this thought in mind, Jiang Guihua lifted her head once more and examined the surroundings carefully. However, she did not discover anything.
Was I mistaken?
She shook her head and focused on her mission.
After they walked away, a figure jumped down nimbly from the tree.
It was Renee.
As she gazed in the direction that Jiang Guihua and the others had left, her eyes flickered as if she was thinking about something.
Just then, the watch on her wrist lit up.
Renee tapped the voice icon.
“Renee, what’s going on? Why aren’t you back yet?”
Renee replied casually, “I’m on the way!”
…
A few minutes later, she returned to the team.
Her companions were surprised to see her return empty-handed.
They were aware of Renee’s skills. Failure was rare for her.
A man wearing sunglasses teased, “Renee, even you failed this time, I can tell that this Hundred Thousand Mountains is indeed rather special.”
His name was Mike. He was the leader of this team and the strongest person.
Renee barked, “I wouldn’t have failed if a damned eagle hadn’t suddenly appeared.”
“Renee, people do slip up. It’s no big deal,” Mike reassured her.
Renee nodded, then said, “I saw a few people over there.”
She pointed to the valley not far away.
When the others heard that, they instinctively looked towards the valley.
“How many exactly?” Mike asked seriously.
“They have a total of ten people. They’re all around 30 years old, mostly women.”
“How about their equipment?”
Raine recalled for a moment and then said, “They were dressed very casually, like…?rustic?street clothes.
“As for weapons, all they had were hoes. I did not see any firearms. They are very clean. Honestly, they looked like farmers.”
Mike was surprised.
He thought that this was still a dangerous forest.?People who come here casually are either experts or natives.
“Mike, do you think they’re natives?”
Renee and Mike had thought the same thing.
Mike nodded slightly.
“If they really are natives, it will save us a lot of time,” said the other members.
Their mission this time was to capture an animal known as the Rainbow Cloud Frog.
This frog only lived in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Its skin had rainbow cloud patterns. They were extremely rare in this world.
More importantly, the Rainbow Cloud Frog was tiny, about the size of a thumbnail.
Moreover, they were nocturnal. They hid in caves during the day, making it especially difficult to find.
Mike wouldn’t have accepted if they weren’t so desperate for money.
They used to live a life of luxury. Now that they suddenly had less money, their quality of life had plummeted.
Just like that, they took jobs they normally wouldn’t even consider. They did low-tier assassinations since it took less time, and the money came quickly.
The higher the price, the more preparations one had to make. There was also a certain degree of risk involved. If an accident happened, the gains would not make up for the losses.
The payment to catch the Rainbow Cloud Frog was a few million. Although it was difficult, at least it was something they liked to do.
Just like that, they had a brief discussion.
To save time, they planned to ask the so-called natives.
…
On the other side.
After Jiang Guihua and the others arrived at the new location, they immediately began to diligently plow the ground.
They were faster at digging the Moonlight Fruits now. They would probably clear the area in an hour.
At that moment, Mike and the others appeared in the bushes not far away.
Mike stopped and professionally observed them with his binoculars.
He saw a bright green fruit. It was very eye-catching.
“This is…”
“The Moonlight Fruit?”
Mike was surprised.
His team members asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Those natives might be digging for the Moonlight Fruit.”
When the team heard that, they immediately picked up their binoculars for a look.
They also looked surprised.
They were aware of the value of the Moonlight Fruit. Although it was expensive, there was high demand for it. There was always a buyer available.
“Those natives actually found Moonlight Fruits! We’ve struck gold!” A black man laughed excitedly, revealing his shiny white teeth.
He acted as if the Moonlight Fruits that Jiang Guihua and the others dug up belonged to them.
