After firing an arrow and killing another person with the sniper laika crossbow...
Hunter crouched low and quietly lurked back into the pasture grass.
He had just taken out two people by firing two bolts in the dark.
He quickly took out another bolt from his private space and loaded it onto the sniper laika crossbow in his hand.
In the dark of night, even with a silencer attached, there was a high probability of exposing oneself.
Hunter knew very well what he was facing now.
It was most likely a group of assassins sent by the Assassin Company that Jane belonged to.
Because he couldn't be sure yet how many people the other side had sent to deal with him...
...Hunter needed to be even more careful; the sniper laika crossbow was more reliable at this time than a silenced pistol!
Earlier, when the opponent fired a shot to snipe him...
...he had easily dodged that bullet, thanks to his increasingly sharp early warning sense after his five-dimensional attributes had been significantly boosted.
Being well-prepared, he had splashed some cow blood—left over from a barbecue on the farm a couple of days ago—at the spot where he was sniped.
Then, Hunter had quickly entered the grass while splashing blood along the way.
Taking advantage of the time it took for the opponent to come and confirm the kill, he moved quickly through this patch of grass.
He set up some dry branches and the bear traps he had bought in advance.
These all-steel bear traps were very dangerous yet very practical items, whether for wild boars, elk, or humans.
Relying on his excellent memory, Hunter remembered the location of every bear trap he had placed.
Then, he quietly lurked outside a trap zone he had created with the bear traps.
Waiting for his prey to deliver themselves to his door.
Hunter now possessed five-dimensional attributes more than three times that of an ordinary adult male, which also meant his five senses had been greatly enhanced.
Thanks to this!
The dark night was no longer a disadvantage for Hunter at all.
Unless the opponent was heavily equipped with military-grade night-vision infrared thermal imagers, in the same dark night...
...Hunter's vision was far superior to those ordinary people, and he had much sharper hearing.
As long as the opponent hadn't sent a team of a hundred people, he was confident he could give them a painful lesson.
"1, 2, 3..."
"4..."
"5... 6..."
"Only six people?"
Lurking in a thick patch of grass, Hunter listened intently, fully capturing the positions of those people.
Within a radius of dozens of meters, every sound made by the grass being pushed aside...
...and the occasional sound of a dry branch being stepped on, constantly reached his ears.
In this fallow farmland of over 120 acres, far from the mountain forests, there were naturally no trees planted.
Those dry branches were all props Hunter had intentionally thrown into the grass just now to determine the opponent's position.
However, in order to confirm the number of opponents, he was in no hurry to act.
Originally, Hunter didn't want to kill the person who stepped on the bear trap immediately.
Instead, he planned to use them as bait to lure their companions over to save them.
But Hunter suddenly thought that if they were assassins sent by Jane's company to deal with him...
...then these people likely wouldn't have very good relationships.
Whether they would go to save a companion who stepped into a trap was still an unknown.
Moreover, the man who had just stepped into one of Hunter's bear traps was too noisy.
His miserable screams interfered with Hunter's ability to continue using his hearing, combined with his eyes, to quickly lock onto the other people's positions in the darkness.
"Snap!"
A very slight cracking sound—it was the sound of someone stepping on a dry branch Hunter had casually tossed into the grass earlier.
His ears twitched, and after keenly capturing the direction the sound came from...
...Hunter thought for a moment; he hadn't heard any new sounds for quite a while.
He could basically confirm that only six people had entered the grass.
As such, he didn't plan to wait any longer.
The sniper laika crossbow he had prepared long ago instantly aimed at that spot, and Hunter pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Swoosh!
After the sound of cutting through the air, a miserable scream soon followed.
"Ah!"
It was another man's voice, followed immediately by a burst of cursing from that direction.
At the same time, two tongues of fire lit up.
Rat-tat-tat-tat!
Rat-tat-tat-tat!
automatic rifles!
Every weapon with a different design has a different sound when fired due to the materials used and its internal structural design.
Hunter had discovered this point when he was improving his Shooting skill at a Shooting club before.
And this particular gunshot was one he happened to have heard and memorized at the Shooting club.
"FN SCAR assault rifles, two people?"
He carefully lowered his body and chose not to change his position.
The opponent didn't know where Hunter was.
They had simply been attacked suddenly and were now firing blindly in all directions.
"17... 22... 27..."
Hunter continuously calculated the bullets the opponent was consuming while firing.
While holding the sniper laika crossbow in one hand, he had already taken out a hand grenade from his private space with the other.
Hunter had confirmed earlier that only six sounds of grass being pushed aside as people moved forward had appeared in the grass around him.
In other words, this batch of assassins—suspected to have been sent by Jane's company to deal with him...
...totaled only six people.
"Is this considered looking down on me?"
The corners of his mouth curved into an arc; for quite a while, no more movement had come from the direction where the trap was triggered.
Hunter could basically confirm that the two people over there had been taken care of by him.
Right then, he decided to end the battle quickly and resolve these people as soon as possible.
After all, the opponent had even brought assault rifles.
Who knew if this group of people also carried explosives like hand grenades on them.
Quickly pulling the pin on the hand grenade, Hunter counted the numbers in his head while continuously updating the positional data of those two people.
Until there were only three or four seconds left before the hand grenade exploded.
He then threw it with force, and the hand grenade quickly landed near the two people who were in the middle of reloading.
Before they could even react, "Bang!"
A massive explosion followed as the hand grenade instantly detonated.
The shockwave from the hand grenade's close-range explosion brushed over the surrounding pasture grass and also swept across Hunter's cheeks.
Within the shockwave, he clearly saw two figures.
One of them had even come within six or seven meters of Hunter.
With the help of the moonlight, he saw one of them clearly; it was none other than that Killer Wife Jian, whom he had dealt with twice not long ago.
In an instant, the other hand grenade Hunter had just taken out from his private space...
...was swapped for a Flashbang he had obtained from Stanfield.
Hunter pulled the ring without hesitation and threw it toward the middle of the two...
