Chapter 262: Chapter 138 The Cultivator Stood Up! _2
Helena cursed angrily for a few moments. It wasn’t just her; all the teammates accompanying her had a thousand animals running wild in their minds.
To kill Lin Beichen, they had been fleeing for their lives, narrowly escaping being crushed by lava. They had no time to take care of anything along the way.
If they weren’t well-trained, with physical endurance far surpassing that of regular special forces, they might have already been caught by the lava and perished halfway down Jingli Mountain.
However, at this moment, everyone looked at Kendia with respect, grateful for his earlier decision to avoid heading straight down the mountain. Instead, he had them evade the lava by moving horizontally to another part of the mountain. Otherwise, no matter how fit they were, they would have been engulfed!
"We need to formulate a strategy quickly. That kid is probably retreating this way too. From our current position, we have an unobstructed view of the path down the mountain."
"The most urgent thing now is our countermeasures!"
"We need the most reliable plan. After all, that kid must have something up his sleeve to have Griffin value him so highly!"
Kendia made some analyses, but what they didn’t know at the moment was that Lin Beichen had lost track after the lava reached him too close to the crater.
If they knew, they would have collected their bounty by now and wouldn’t still be strategizing at the mountaintop.
Speaking of plans, the group gathered and each provided their own ideas, suggesting what they thought was the best approach.
"Just shoot him dead!"
"Our shooting accuracy is top-notch even among special forces, hitting the target in the head isn’t difficult!"
"At that moment, we can spread out in groups and try to hit vital points from a distance. I’ll join Helena in close combat, letting him taste the blade of an Atlantis knife!"
One of them shared his idea. He had previously investigated Lin Beichen and heard that he could withstand bullets, though the accuracy of this information was questionable.
Considering the previous explosion that left him unscathed, there was certainly something eerie about it.
But he didn’t believe that anyone in today’s world could survive a bullet to the head without the use of protective gear!
Moreover, in terms of close-combat body techniques, he and Helena were among the best in their group and even among the top assassins of Atlantis, he confidently ranked in the top hundred!
After hearing his analysis, the group fell into deep thought, then turned their gaze to Kendia.
Of course, Kendia understood that everyone wanted to hear his opinion, but at the moment, he didn’t intend to speak directly. Instead, he said:
"Does anyone else have any ideas? Let’s hear them!"
Helena then shared her perspective. While she wasn’t as decisive as Kendia, she was full of crafty tricks, having once staged a pitfall that annihilated an entire 50-member special forces team!
"We can set up a trap and lure that kid into it if he shows up!"
"As for the trap, we can use the lava here. Not much is needed, just a little. Even if he can withstand bullets, I don’t believe he can remain unscathed with lava poured on him!"
"At that time, we wouldn’t even need to deal with his corpse. It would turn to ash on its own."
"For the container to hold lava, we can use available materials. I noticed some port iron on the way down that could be hollowed out to temporarily hold the lava."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Helena’s plan. Even Kendia gave her a thumbs-up, secretly admiring her deviousness, something he knew he couldn’t match.
After a moment of thought, Kendia added, "Helena and I met that kid before we came up the mountain, posing as a couple taking photos."
"I think we can use that. I’ll pretend to be burned and unable to move, while Helena calls for help to lure him closer. Even if he sees the pre-set lava, he’s unlikely to be suspicious."
"Once he gets close, you can shoot him in the head or a vital area. Helena and you can rush in for close combat, slit his throat with a knife, and I’ll pour the prepared lava on him."
"Eliminating any chance of survival!"
Hearing Kendia’s supplemental plan, the group applauded in agreement, feeling the plan was nearly perfect, greatly boosting their morale.
In their eyes, they had never planned so meticulously for a single target in their assassination careers, which gave them immense confidence. They were even imagining the moment they would collect their bounty.
With that, the group split up to begin their preparations.
....
....
Jingli Mountain.
Journalists from various countries and military helicopters from Divine Light Country were now focusing their cameras on the crater. Almost everyone was getting weary.
Not just the on-site journalists, but netizens all over the internet were also feeling some visual fatigue, or perhaps the live broadcast’s content had become dull.
Apart from the ongoing lava flow affecting the surrounding cities of Jingli Mountain and the rescue teams dispatched by Divine Light Country working to save major cities and establish diversion channels in the suburbs to reroute the lava, viewers were losing interest.
The previous sensation caused by the cultivator had faded, making the current broadcast seem lackluster. People occasionally checked in for updates but no longer followed closely.
One platform even withdrew its helicopters from circling over Jingli Mountain, believing no news would come.
They didn’t think the cultivator could have survived.
All they needed now was a fixed position to live stream the rescue efforts from the lower city, which might attract more viewers.
After a while, the crater remained calm with no major changes, and even the military helicopters of Divine Light Country were preparing to leave, packing up their cameras.
Other helicopters with missions were also ready to leave, turning around.
They believed no miracle would happen, and waiting was pointless. Ground teams were gearing up and would explore the mountain as soon as lava flow decreased.
However, just as the live-streaming journalists were about to leave, a bright light suddenly flashed near the crater!
In the dusk, the light seemed to shoot beyond the clouds!
It looked like a thunderbolt, but one that sustained its brightness unusually long!
"What is that?!"
"Look!"
"Get back! Get back!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Quick, quick, the camera!"
"Damn, we shouldn’t have packed up!"
"Oh my god, what’s happening there? Isn’t that where the cultivator was engulfed by lava?"
Reporters on the helicopters, ready for departure, scrambled as the sudden beam of light drew their attention. They hurriedly reassembled their high-powered cameras, almost dropping them in their haste!
They set up their cameras at lightning speed and zoomed in.
The helicopters made a sharp 90-degree turn, heading back towards Jingli Mountain!
Almost simultaneously, Divine Light Country’s military helicopters performed an incredible turn, taking the lead and rushing forward.
"Look, look!"
"Oh my god, that figure! He appeared again!"
"The cultivator, he’s not dead!"
"What’s going on?! How did he escape?"
"Is that light because of him?"
"We saw him get chased by lava and buried! How is it possible...."
"Another miracle!"
Journalists watched in awe, genuinely shocked by the scene before them!
