Chapter 41: Annihilating the Enemy

  The companions around had already seen the thing in the assassin's hand, although the sound was piercing and the appearance was very strange, but it didn't seem to be dangerous. At this time, all the assassins' faces couldn't help but lose some face, among whom the most embarrassed one was naturally the leader of the group. After a few jumps, they returned to the small courtyard again, and the other assassins were not willing to fall behind, so they quickly returned to their original place at the fastest speed.

  The purple leader snatched the bugle from the assassin's hand, his face furious. "What the hell is this thing!? It can actually make such a huge noise! Is the owner of the small courtyard deliberately playing tricks on us?" He slammed the bugle to the ground with a loud crash, and it shattered into pieces. Fortunately, the main speaker was still working, but the sound was no longer as clear as before. The singing voice had also changed from the original folk song to an instrumental version of "Lan Hua Cao". The purple leader's anger flared up again, and he flew over, kicking the still-sounding component fiercely, even using his inner energy. A small pit was left on the ground, showing how fierce the purple leader's anger was.

  "Actually, purple, why bother getting so worked up? This thing may not have much use, but it's quite clever. It can be used to attract people's attention and is still very effective, hmm, and the sound is piercing and unpleasant, I suppose the range of transmission is also considerable, keeping it might come in handy someday." The gray leader said with great regret after coming to his senses.

  "Alright! This thing must be what the master of this place uses to attract our attention. There must be an ambush here, so everyone be careful. Now is not the time for showing off." The black leader stopped others from continuing to speak.

  "Huh? Leader, look! There's still something in the hole where I just dug up that thing!" The assassin said at this time, and bent down to remove the surrounding mud.

  After hearing the assassin's words, the surrounding leaders were shocked and rushed over to check.

  "Get out of the way, let me take a look!" The purple leader pushed the assassin away and lay down on the ground himself. "Hmm, indeed there is something that's constantly flashing red and white light, but it's inside."

  "You few first move this water tank away, be careful when moving it, don't damage the tank, we still have use for it!" The black leader said to his subordinates.

  After the crowd of subordinates carefully moved away the water tank, Zi Ye cleaned up the mud underneath and the object that shone with a red light finally appeared before the leaders. The leaders gathered around it, one by one, surrounding it in the middle, constantly examining it from all sides. The assassins behind them wanted to get closer to take a look, but the leaders were too tightly packed together, so they could only catch a glimpse through the gaps between people. Some of the curious and discontented assassins continued to jump up and down, trying to get a peek, while others in the distance pushed their way to the middle, forming a tight circle around the object.

  All that was seen was a small screen surrounded by the leaders in the middle, emitting a bright white light. In the center of the white light, red Arabic numerals were counting down continuously. The countdown at this time was 00:21...

  "Hmph, old man's eyes are not dull, having lived for more than half a lifetime, I also consider myself to be knowledgeable and experienced. Not to mention in the Great Xia Empire, even among the things outside of human territory, I have seen quite a few, but this thing is absolutely not among them." The green-robed leader said, stroking his chin with one hand while carefully examining it from left to right.

  "Yes, yes, I've never seen it before either. Quick, take a look! The red thing on top is still changing, tsk, tsk! It's truly exquisite craftsmanship. And from this object, I haven't sensed even the slightest bit of aura, only a few strands of electricity inside, so it shouldn't be anything dangerous." The Red Leader said with a curious expression as he touched the screen and then turned to speak to the others.

  00：15…

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss! Unexpectedly, in less than a night's time, I've seen several such mysterious and extraordinary things here. It seems that the master of this place is also a talented person. Hmm, if we find him later, let's try not to kill him, it would be a pity. Let's bring him back to headquarters and persuade him with reason and emotion. He will surely be of great use to us!" The black leader said with a sigh of admiration.

  00：09…

  "This is indeed a wonderful thing! I never thought that such a remote and poor village would have such hidden talents, haha! It seems that our mission this time has really come to the right place. Being able to create such exquisite items is truly a great achievement! Later on, I will definitely make friends with him and become close friends!" The gray-haired leader stroked his goat beard, his face filled with admiration and longing.

  00：04…

  "Ah, indeed! The craftsmanship and ingenuity of this object are truly rare in the world! To be able to see such a wonderful thing in one's lifetime is a blessing, alas... my life has been worthwhile!" The blue-haired leader said with a sigh, then stood up and gazed up at the starry sky, his eyes filled with admiration and reverence.

  00：00…

  "Beep!"

  "Boom~~! Boom~~! Boom~~!..."

  ……

  "Woohoo!" Wu Ye Yu exclaimed excitedly, jumping up while still holding onto his toes and staring at the countdown timer on the system.

  After the loud noise, the ground shook violently, and even Wu Ye Yu and Wen Xue Yue, who were over a hundred meters underground, could feel it clearly. They saw that dust would occasionally fall from the hard soil above their heads, filling the entire room for a moment, but that was all. After all, there was such a thick layer of earth in between, so it wasn't likely to pose any threat. Besides, this place wasn't directly facing his own courtyard; when he dug the hole initially, he had done so at an angle.

  "Ah~~~~! Earthquake! Brother Ye Yu! Brother Ye Yu! I'm scared~!" Wu Ye Yu only heard Wen Xue Yue screaming from the next room, and then quickly rushed over here. With a loud thud, she jumped into Wu Ye Yu's arms, tightly hugging him, her small body trembling nonstop, looking like she was frightened to the extreme.

  Wu Yeru felt a pang of guilt at this moment, secretly scolding himself for preparing too much explosives. He had exchanged three hundred kilograms of high-intensity timed explosives from the system, and it took him quite some time to bury them all. Suddenly and unexpectedly, who wouldn't be killed by such an explosion?

  "Damn it! If I had known, I wouldn't have bought so many. That's a whole 30,000 energy points down the drain. Luckily, it was just a small-scale intense explosion, or else the entire Wu family would have been blown to kingdom come by me? Hmm, that's what the system says, it shouldn't be lying to me, right?" Wu Ye Yu comforted Wen Xue Yue while thinking to himself, and then checked his kill count again.

  "111, isn't this number a bit unlucky? This is the rhythm of cursing me to lose miserably. It seems I still need to think of ways to take down at least one..."

  The explosives were clearly buried too deeply, and now the entire small courtyard of Wu Ye Yu has been blown to smithereens. The leader, assassins, and everything else have naturally been annihilated. Fortunately, the force of the blast was directed upwards, and after the explosion, a small mushroom cloud actually formed, which is now slowly dispersing. On the ground, a large crater has appeared, about ten meters deep, just barely exceeding the size of the courtyard. The intense heat has scorched the earth, forming a thick layer of transparent material. The surrounding buildings have not suffered too much damage, only having their doors and windows destroyed by the shockwave.

  A loud noise echoed, spreading far and wide, naturally it couldn't be hidden from the people in the small town. Although these people were very curious, thinking that it was in the direction of the Wu family's house, they didn't have any intention to go and check it out. Whether informed or uninformed, everyone chose silence.

  Qingshui Town Government Office, Zhang Mansion, a servant's residence. Wu Zongyue was sitting on the bed with a look of surprise and uncertainty. He had been sleeping soundly but was suddenly awakened by the loud noise. "This isn't thunder, is it? The sound seems to be coming from the direction of my family's estate. I wonder what happened. Sigh...I still can't go out for now. Let's wait a few more days. When the time comes, our Wu family's luck will change. As long as we're alive, everything will return..."

  ……

  In the town, in an ordinary house, Wu Renjie was also awakened by the sound. He immediately stepped out of the room and came to the small courtyard, looking worriedly towards the direction of the Wu family with a face full of regretful emotions, his fists clenched tightly, and his teeth gritted.

  "Jie'er! Jie'er! Where are you?!" Just then a voice came from inside the house, it was the second wife's calling.

  After hearing the sound, Wu Renjie suddenly came back to his senses and ran towards the house: "Mother, I'm here. There was just a loud thunderclap. I went out to take a look, but there's nothing going on. Hehehe... You were scared just now, right? Don't worry, it might be going to rain soon. You can keep sleeping, I'll stay with you."

  ……

  At the same time, the guards of the Wu family were also awakened and looked in the direction of the Wu house for a long time without speaking. Although they wanted to go to the Wu house to see what had happened, they remembered the master's orders and returned to their rooms with gloomy faces. A few guards jumped onto the roof and gazed into the distance for a while, but found nothing.

  In Qing Shui Town, people from various families were also awakened by the sound, but they tacitly did not go to check, lest they get into trouble. Among them, there were those who sighed and those who ridiculed.

  ……

  "Brother Ye Yu, was that an earthquake just now? Xi Yue is so scared, it's shaking badly even here." Wen Xi Yue said softly while leaning on Wu Ye Yu's chest, and after a period of calmness, she slowly recovered.

  "Now that you're scared, why didn't you agree to sleep with me earlier when I asked you to? Looks like you're getting your comeuppance now! Hehehe! Since you came in on your own accord, then you won't be leaving tonight. Be a good girl and sleep with Night Rain Gege." Wu Ye Yu hugged Wen Xiyue on the bed, flipped over, and pinned her down, taking advantage of the little loli's momentary stunned state to kiss her small mouth, his tongue also slipping in, not giving her any chance to react!
