"Let's go somewhere else, around to the back of the hotel."
Led by Han Ning, the team moved like ghosts in the rainy night, silently making a large circle, avoiding all possible surveillance angles, and finally sneaking into a seven-story old residential building behind the hotel.
They also took care of a hidden sentry here.
The first floor of the building was mostly submerged, while the upper floors were largely intact. The location was excellent, allowing a view of almost the entire back of the hotel.
Han Ning turned his gaze to Lin Qianqian, pointing to the tall silhouette of the hotel building in the distance, faintly visible through the rain:
"Mr. Lin, given the height and distance from here to the 12th floor at the back of the hotel, are you confident you can hit your target with your arrow?"
Lin Qianqian squinted, estimated the distance and angle, and then felt the wind speed and the intensity of the rain. She nodded affirmatively.
"The straight-line distance is about 60 meters, no problem."
"Okay, when I say launch, you launch without any hesitation."
...
Time ticked by, with only the monotonous sound of raindrops hitting the water's surface.
Han Ning's golden eyes darted through the layers of rain, locking onto the direction of the Skyline Hotel.
About ten minutes later.
His ears twitched slightly, catching a barely perceptible strange sound in the wind.
Hiss... hiss
It sounds like a pressure cooker releasing steam.
"coming!"
Han Ning's spirits lifted, breaking the silence.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened.
Chairman Wu, Lin Qianqian, and the others immediately perked up their ears and listened intently.
"hiss~"
Amidst everyone's tense breathing, the hissing of the snakes grew ever closer.
Even Chairman Wu and others could vaguely hear it.
"Hiss hiss hiss... hiss hiss hiss hiss..."
The sound is getting louder and louder!
It was as if millions of venomous snakes were rubbing their scales together in the darkness.
The water in the distance seemed to tremble slightly because of the dense hissing.
Meanwhile, from the windows of the grand hotel across the street, hurried figures began to appear frequently.
"what sound?"
"Damn! It's black snakes, a swarm of black snakes is coming!"
"Report to the boss immediately!"
Terrified screams, hurried footsteps, the clatter of objects... a cacophony of sounds drifted from the windows of various floors of the hotel.
Han Ning unhesitatingly unscrewed the cap of the small glass bottle.
A strong, nauseating smell of blood instantly filled the air.
He snatched a composite bow and arrow and a pre-prepared bandage from Lin Qianqian's hand.
The bandages were tightly wrapped around the sharp arrowheads.
Then, Han Ning aimed the bottle at the bandage and poured all the viscous royal blood inside onto it.
Finally, he even tied the empty glass bottle to the arrow shaft.
"Shoot it to the 12th floor."
Han Ning handed the arrow, stained with the king's blood, back to Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian accepted the arrow without hesitation.
She nocked an arrow and drew her bow.
hum~
The compound bowstring emitted a low, resonant hum.
call out!
The arrow, soaked in the king's blood, transformed into a blurry black shadow, piercing through the rain and striking with perfect accuracy into a half-open window on the 12th floor of the hotel.
“An awakened being like Sun Wuyan is not easy to kill. My goal is simply to force him to show himself. Otherwise, if he continues to hide inside the building, we will be in a very passive position.”
"He will most likely run to the side or back of the building."
Han Ning frequently glanced at the areas on both sides and behind the hotel, speaking very quickly.
"No matter which of these directions he runs in, I can see him."
"As soon as he appears, go up and stop him, kill him quickly and get out of there!"
"He may have other companions around him. Your goal is to stop the others. If not, we'll kill him together."
"Killing him is the most important thing!"
This behavior was extremely dangerous, as it could easily result in being caught in the snake swarm, but it was the best way Han Ning could think of to get revenge on Sun Wuyan.
Other plans require time to execute.
For example, try communicating with nature to inquire about Sun Wuyan's whereabouts.
Whether this method is useful or not is another matter, but even if it is useful, it will consume a lot of his mental energy.
What if you launch an attack when your mental strength is weak, and your opponent has powerful mental attack methods?
What if we wait until we've recovered our strength before launching another attack, only to find that the opponent has moved on?
As time goes on, Sun Wuyan will definitely become wary when his men do not return.
By then, it will be very difficult to catch him again.
If Sun Wuyan has a way to control the snake swarm.
They can still retreat and then consider a plan to communicate with nature.
There is no particularly foolproof solution; every solution has its advantages and disadvantages.
Han Ning simply decided not to think about it too much.
Just do it and it's done.
Chapter 103 The Awakener of Ice
Skyline Hotel, 12th floor.
In a luxurious suite.
The women's painful cries rose and fell.
Sun Wuyan's eyes were cold and indifferent, completely disregarding the woman's life or death, as he trembled wildly.
Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly, as if he had caught a faint, unusual sound outside the window.
"what!!"
But the next second, the woman's even sharper scream completely drowned out that faint sound.
"Damn it, you slut!"
Sun Wuyan slapped the woman's buttocks hard, cursed, and his actions became increasingly violent.
Time passes by second by second.
The strange noise in my ears not only did not disappear, but gradually became clearer.
Hiss... hiss hiss hiss...
The sound was like countless wet, slippery scales rubbing together.
Sun Wuyan's face twitched slightly, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
He stopped what he was doing, shoved the woman beneath him away, and grabbed some clothes to put on.
Just as Sun Wuyan finished fastening his belt, the door was flung open with a bang.
One of his men, pale-faced, scrambled in and stammered:
"Snakes, boss! There are black snakes everywhere outside! They... they're attacking from the south!"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wuyan's usually cold and stern expression underwent a dramatic change for the first time.
He rushed to the window on the other side of the suite and ripped open the heavy curtains.
Under the rain, the water surface south of the hotel looked like boiling water.
Countless serpentine monsters surged in from the south like a tidal wave, layer upon layer, innumerable.
They twisted their bodies, smashed through floating debris, and shattered low walls, frantically assaulting the ground floor of the hotel building.
"Hold!"
He turned around abruptly and shouted sternly, "Call Lu Shengli and the others, and head out the back door."
Just as Sun Wuyan was about to go downstairs from the stairwell, he heard continuous screams coming from below, mixed with the angry roars of the black snake.
He realized that the snakes were spreading upstairs.
Sun Wuyan couldn't help but curse, "Why would the snakes go upwards, unless..."
He considered a terrible possibility.
At this moment, about twenty awakened individuals rushed up from downstairs, with the leader shouting:
"Boss, there are snakes downstairs! Run! Run!"
