Chapter 61

Ye Chenfeng, Wang Li, Wu Kunming, and the others stood at the entrance of a long corridor, hesitating to take a step forward. The safer it seemed, the more likely it was that there were hidden dangers.

"From my guess, this corridor isn't as simple as it looks. There must be traps and mechanisms installed on the ground or in the walls," Ye Chenfeng frowned slightly. Since the terrorists didn't make a big fuss at the entrance, they must have set up a web of traps inside the underground base, ensuring that any intruders who entered would not leave.

"I agree with Chenfeng. We shouldn't act rashly," Wu Kunming echoed.

"What do you two suggest we do? Are we just going to stand here like fools?" Wang Li asked irritably, his temper flaring up as it often did in emergencies.

"If you want to die, you can go ahead and try," Ye Chenfeng said, picking up a large stone from the ground and throwing it forcefully down the long corridor.

"Clack clack clack clack clack clack clack—"

The ground of the corridor was hit hard, and several automatic machine guns emerged from the walls, firing continuously. Streams of bullets filled the corridor. If Ye Chenfeng and the others had walked down the corridor, they would have been riddled with bullets by now.

After about a minute of continuous firing, the machine guns retreated back into the walls, and the corridor returned to silence as if nothing had happened.

"Do you still think being hasty is useful? Your temper will get you killed on a mission, and you might even drag your teammates down with you," Ye Chenfeng said bluntly to Wang Li.

Wang Li's face turned red. He knew his temper was often too quick, but he hadn't been able to change it over the years. In the past, during missions with the other members of the King of Soldiers team, his impatience had nearly caused the missions to fail three times.

Wang Li took a deep breath, calming himself down, and said, "Ye Chenfeng, you're right. So, how do we get through this corridor?"

Wang Li wasn't so arrogant that he couldn't accept criticism, and he was very aware of his flaws. He had been trying to change his impulsive nature for years.

"There is a way to safely cross this corridor. The machine guns in the walls are mechanical, not manually operated. So, the bullets in the guns will eventually run out. We just need to keep throwing stones until the guns are empty," Ye Chenfeng said confidently.

"Cenfeng, that's a great idea! Why didn't we think of that!" Wu Kunming immediately ordered his subordinates to crawl out of the underground base to collect some large stones. There were only a few large stones in the underground base.

Ye Chenfeng's soul, after all, came from five hundred years in the future. In that world, he was a formidable figure, and it would be a shame if his intelligence couldn't match that of people from five hundred years ago. If that were the case, he might as well have killed himself.

The large stones were quickly prepared, and Ye Chenfeng, Wu Kunming, Wang Li, and the others began throwing stones down the corridor. As the stones hit the ground, the machine guns in the walls emerged again, firing a barrage of bullets.

Ye Chenfeng and the others didn't stop throwing stones. The corridor was filled with the sound of bullets and the loud machine gun fire, which pierced everyone's eardrums.

After about half an hour, the firepower gradually weakened. Finally, when Ye Chenfeng and the others threw more stones, the machine guns on both sides of the walls no longer responded. It seemed the bullets had run out.

"Really, we had to throw stones for a whole half hour to deplete the bullets?" Wu Kunming said, shaking his sore shoulders.

However, Wu Kunming was grateful that Ye Chenfeng was with them. Otherwise, they might have already been on their way to the afterlife.

"It should be safe now, but everyone must remain vigilant. There might still be other dangers around," Ye Chenfeng said, leading the way down the corridor. He raised his soul power to the peak of the third level, constantly sensing the surrounding dangers.

After walking cautiously for about ten minutes, Ye Chenfeng and the others encountered no dangers. Some people began to relax their guard. Just then, Ye Chenfeng suddenly shouted, "Be careful, there's danger!"

As soon as Ye Chenfeng spoke, over a dozen figures in ninja uniforms emerged from the walls, each holding a ninja sword. Their movements were extremely fast. Only Ye Chenfeng, Wang Li, and Wu Kunming, who had better combat skills, managed to dodge the attacks. The others were killed with a single slash to the throat by the ninjas who emerged from the walls.

After the ninjas finished their killings, they immediately disappeared back into the walls. This was probably a form of disguise in their ninjutsu, allowing them to use props or terrain to remain undetected, much like a chameleon.

Wu Kunming's eyes turned red, like those of an angry bull. These were people he had trained personally, and they had a close relationship. But in the blink of an eye, they were all dead. How could he accept this?

"Ah—" he roared and charged at the walls. However, no matter how he hit the walls, they remained immovable, as if the ninjas had the ability to pass through them.

"Uncle Wu, calm down. I think these ninjas haven't gone far. Don't forget your responsibilities. If you want to avenge your subordinates, you need to stay calm," Ye Chenfeng grabbed Wu Kunming, knowing that if Wu Kunming didn't control his emotions, he might be the next to die.

"Ye Chenfeng, can you sense their presence? I've never seen Japanese ninjutsu before," Wang Li asked in a low voice, his eyes alert as he scanned the surroundings.

If Ye Chenfeng's soul power was at its peak from his previous life, he could have sensed them. But now, with only third-level soul power, and the ninjas being very skilled at hiding their presence, it was extremely difficult to pinpoint their exact location.

Wu Kunming looked at the dozens of bodies on the ground, blood still oozing from their throats, and his anger grew. He was determined to avenge his subordinates.

"Let's all calm down. Sometimes our eyes can deceive us. We need to use our senses and our ears to detect any movements around us," Ye Chenfeng closed his eyes, sensing the hidden dangers in the darkness.

Wu Kunming and Wang Li followed Ye Chenfeng's advice. Unconsciously, they had begun to see Ye Chenfeng as their leader.
