The situation instantly became tense, but I also knew that if I continued to lie in ambush here, I would surely be in trouble.
Now I faced a difficult choice: run away directly or confront them head-on.
If I were to run now, I would still have a chance to regroup and then call those savages to counterattack with me.
If I were to attack directly now, it would give those savages some relative safety.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to first dampen their spirit.
With that thought, I casually picked up a few small stones.
Just as I was about to make my move, I suddenly saw several people draw pistols from their waists.
These guys are too dishonorable!
My expression changed. Although my current combat power was still quite good, far exceeding that of an ordinary person in both attack power and agility, I had no confidence in being able to block an attack from a pistol!
I took a rough look. There were five people who drew pistols. I wasn't sure about the situation with the others, but I had to prepare for the worst.
That is, everyone present had a pistol.
"Break them one by one!"
This was a plan I devised for myself. It was unrealistic to face so many people at once, so I had to separate them.
Seeing that they were only about ten meters away from me, within my attack range.
I pressed my hands on the ground, and a green energy began to spread outwards.
Thousand Mile Wilderness!
This time, I didn't use stones to attack, but instead took out a few thorny branches.
These were collected earlier in the jungle. A prick from these things was both painful and itchy, and I had also smeared some poison on them.
This poison was also made by that savage tribe.
After preparing the thorny branches, I cut them into small sections and carried them with me.
This was also a use I discovered earlier.
Holding a large handful of thorny branches, I threw them towards those people like scattering flowers from heaven.
Seeing the attack coming, the mercenaries reacted instantly.
The mercenaries with pistols fired several shots in my direction.
Bullets landed on the stones, splashing sparks. I could hear the sound of bullets hitting the rocks.
"Get out here! We only want to capture you alive!" one of them shouted loudly.
The others quickened their pace, closing in on me.
It seemed these guys were determined to take me away from this place.
Moreover, the fact that they had drawn pistols meant they were prepared to pay any price.
I am not the kind of person who dithers. I know very well that in this situation, it's either you die or I die if a fight breaks out!
At this moment, those thorny branches landed on the ground, but the mercenaries didn't pay much attention to them.
I knew they wouldn't care about such small things, but remember that small things can often cost lives.
My green energy emerged once more, and the Life Tree mark on my chest emitted a slight burning sensation.
In just an instant, those thorny branches grew wildly!
In the blink of an eye, these branches had entangled the mercenaries around them.
This sudden turn of events threw the mercenaries into disarray.
They each took out their Nepalese and frantically hacked at the surrounding branches.
This situation clearly exceeded their expectations. The unknown often brings more fear, and this was exactly the case.
They hacked frantically at the thorny branches, but there were too many of them.
Just by moving around, they sustained quite a few wounds.
However, they didn't pay much attention. As mercenaries, they were naturally able to adapt to all sorts of environments.
Such minor wounds were nothing to them.
But after a short while, they began to feel that something was wrong.
Even though they were desperately hacking at the thorny branches, the number of branches around them did not decrease.
Instead, they became more and more numerous.
At the same time, their wounds became more severe.
In this situation, they couldn't resist at all!
Moreover, they gradually felt the abnormality in their bodies!
Finally, one person understood and shouted, "Be careful, these things are poisonous!"
But it was too late.
Many mercenaries fell to the ground, frothing at the mouth. They did not die immediately, but in this situation, they were already incapacitated.
In just a few minutes, half of the mercenaries who had come were casualties.
The man in the suit stood behind, his face grim. "It seems we've been targeted! Go rescue them and then return to the ship!"
Hearing this, the mercenaries beside him immediately sprang into action, dragging the injured men to the rear.
Naturally, I couldn't miss such an opportunity. The stones in my hand were flicked out one after another.
Those few mercenaries holding pistols were instantly killed by me!
As things stood, they posed the greatest threat to me. Such people naturally couldn't be allowed to live!
