Chapter 220: Rainforest Waters
Scorpion’s heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that Huo Qi had already seen through him.
Could it be that even if he didn’t say anything, Huo Qi would still be able to find those goods alone?
No! He didn’t believe it!
If Huo Qi was really that godly, why did he take the risk to kidnap him? Why didn’t he just bring people to snatch the goods back?
However, in the next second, Huo Qi’s words crushed Scorpion’s hope!
“Baihu Pier! Isn’t that so?” Huo Qi asked calmly. He looked at the shimmering water as though he was discussing a very ordinary matter.
Scorpion was stunned. His lips trembled helplessly as he asked weakly, “How did you know? Did you have spies around me? Do you have someone in our gang?”
Huo Qi looked into the distance indifferently and didn’t say anything. He was wondering why Huo Feng didn’t follow him. Could it be that they didn’t receive the order he sent after the last minute change? Or was Huo Feng too busy with those people? That shouldn’t be the case! Scorpion was already in his hands, and those people didn’t have a leader. How much trouble could they cause?
There were too many things that Huo Qi didn’t know. For example, on the wooden boat that was slowly swinging over with the current, there were a few people lying on it.
The surroundings were silent, except for the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of tree branches being blown by the wind. Huo Qi felt that this silence was not good. He looked coldly at the forest behind him and the water in front of him!
“No! Get down!”
The moment Huo Qi finished shouting, the man who had been escorting Scorpion behind him was shot in the head by someone on the water three meters away!
Before the man could even cry out in pain, he fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, Huo Qi raised his gun and counterattacked. Scorpion took the opportunity to roll into the water and meet his subordinates.
Someone on the boat fell. Huo Qi lowered his body and rolled away, dodging the bullets behind him. He heard his men shout angrily, “Young Master! Scorpion is in the water!”
Huo Qi didn’t say anything else and jumped into the water. He approached Scorpion’s back with his gun and punched the back of his head!
Scorpion’s leg was injured, and his hands were handcuffed. He couldn’t swim fast, nor could he dodge Huo Qi’s attack.
He took Huo Qi’s punch and felt dizzy. When Huo Qi’s subordinates saw that Huo Qi had fallen into the water, how could they remain indifferent?
They split up, leaving two on the shore to raise their guns and fight the people on the opposite boat, while the other three followed Huo Qi and jumped into the water.
Only an outlaw like Scorpion would dare to jump into the rainforest river area in the middle of the night for this chance of survival. There were many more dangers hidden in the water than on the shore.
Scorpion’s bleeding body and Huo Qi’s bloody back were all food that many insects and poisonous creatures liked.
Huo Qi had expected Scorpion to be good at swimming, but he didn’t expect him to be so good at it. Once in the water, Scorpion was like a slippery squid.
Huo Qi grabbed him a few times, but he broke free. Huo Qi was angered, so he raised his gun angrily and fired a few shots. Without the silencer, the pistol sounded terrifying in the night.
He wasn’t sure if he had hit Scorpion, but his men held his arm. They reminded him anxiously, “Young Master, stop chasing! Scorpion is seriously injured, so it can’t run far! It’s not safe in the water at night. Let’s go back to the shore first, Young Master!”
“Scorpion’s patrol team has a boat. We’re no match for them in the water. We can only fight them when Brother Li comes. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait for dawn!”
Huo Qi also understood that they were right. His back was burning with pain, and only then did he regain his senses. He said coldly, “Go! Go back.”
The patrol team on the boat didn’t dare to come over. Huo Qi climbed ashore and didn’t forget to pull his three subordinates in the water. However, in an instant, the people in the water seemed to be dragged by something huge. The two people behind him didn’t even make a sound before they were dragged in. The splash was huge, and in the unknown light, there was only sound!
“Ah! Young Master!” One man cried out in pain and struggled violently.
However, in just a few breaths, his hand lost its strength. Huo Qi didn’t understand what had happened, but he felt the hand on his wrist slip and his man was pulled into the water!
