The rock protrudes and hangs precariously; Xie Shuyun is below the slope.

001 said: [Beware of traps.]

The person standing on the slope was saying something, letting out an old, hoarse laugh, "Xie Shuyun, dying by my hand wouldn't be a waste of your life, do you know who I am..."

The soft crunching of fallen leaves underfoot echoed beneath his feet. "Who?!" The old man's ears were surprisingly sharp.

But before he could even be on guard, Wei Ye had already raised his gun.

Bang!

The light was too dim; I only saw a figure jolted, but I couldn't tell where the attack hit.

The figure turned around menacingly, its face covered in terrifying scars flashing by in the moonlight.

Wei Ye was taken aback, and Xu's words suddenly flashed through his mind: "Old Hai, who raises dogs, has been with our family for many years. His face is covered with scars like centipedes, and he rarely shows his face..."

Wasn't this person supposed to be dead?!

Old Haitou ran very fast. Wei Ye raised his gun and fired again, but Old Haitou raised his hand and chopped a tree with his knife.

Hearing the sound of rope scraping against tree bark, Wei Ye's expression changed. He didn't have time to chase after the injured old man, and immediately pounced over to grab the severed rope.

The downward momentum dragged him several meters, tree trunks flashing past him. Wei Ye tried to grab onto something several times, leaving bloody scratches on his exposed skin.

There's a tree right in front of us!

001 urgently alerted.

With a thud, Wei Ye's shoulder bumped into the tree trunk, managing to grab onto it just in time.

The cliff was at least six or seven meters deep, its bottom riddled with sharp, gleaming blades. At the critical moment, the rope taut, halting Xie Shuyun's fall; her neck was less than ten centimeters from the blades!

Wei Ye wrapped the rope around his arm and pulled back with all his might.

A system warning sounded in his mind. A dozen meters away, Old Hai was quietly sneaking back.

"Damn it, there wasn't time to finish him off." Wei Ye gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the system's reminder, he would have been completely at the mercy of his opponent.

He tightened the hemp rope with one hand, crossed his legs and wrapped them around the tree trunk to secure himself, and pulled out the gun from his pocket with the other hand.

Thinking he had secretly infiltrated undetected, he was shot again before he could even show his face.

Wei Ye sneered, "Old Hai, is it? If you have the guts, come on. Let's see if you can run faster or my gun can."

"I never expected that Master Wei would have such skill." Through the gaps in the branches and leaves, Wei Ye caught a glimpse of a dark figure clutching his shoulder and retreating hastily. His voice was sinister and cold, "Hmph, I will take back Xie Wenxiu's ghost sooner or later. None of you members of the Xie family will have a peaceful end!"

"Sister-in-law...?" Xie Shuyun's voice was filled with astonishment.

The little cutie was still hanging there. Since he wasn't dead, Wei Ye couldn't chase after him to finish him off, so he continued pulling the rope.
