Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 359: Ask for a Loan

The bomb had shattered the rocks, and it wasn’t long before people rushed up to clear the path, as Feng Ye stayed tense, alert to any movement from the mountains.

This place was a perfect spot for an ambush, he had an intuition that someone was watching them in hiding, but the road was the only way through.

Even though they knew dangers lay ahead, they had to push forward to ensure they arrived at the rendezvous point by the next afternoon.

Half an hour later, Duwa approached, "Mr. Feng, the road has been cleared, we can depart now."

"Not yet."

Feng Ye hesitated, his gaze questioning the person beside him, "What else did you discover?"

He followed her gaze, but the road ahead under the beam of the headlights only revealed a blurry path with no obvious anomalies.

Besides, if there were to be an ambush, it would likely be from the mountains, not on the road.

"There are mines." Yun Yue’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Feng Ye: "..."

Holding onto a slim hope, he said, unlikely as it seemed, "That should be impossible."

They hadn’t brought a mine detector, did that mean they had to crawl over?

"Moreover, the Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps is famously poor, how could they possibly have—"

He hadn’t even finished speaking when, unfortunately, someone stepped on a buried mine and was killed instantly.

"..."

The entire convoy immediately plunged into panic as they gripped their weapons, vigilantly surveying their surroundings.

Feng Ye gaped, stunned at the unfolding scene, words seemed to be stuck in his mouth, "You..."

Duwa wore a similar expression.

She even knew about the mines underground?

"What should we do?" Regardless of his initial shock, Feng Ye quickly regained his composure. Without a mine detector, using humans to clear mines was out of the question.

He instinctively turned to ask Yun Yue.

Yun Yue casually shrugged, her demeanor nonchalant, "Why not use a mine detector?"

"There aren’t any," Feng Ye couldn’t help but roll his eyes, their team was barbaric, if they knew how to create such devices, they would have been monopolized by Tu Mi Garden long ago.

Just like the Nan Family, whose expertise in ammunition manufacturing led to their destruction.

Golden Net’s rapid development owed much to Nan Jingchen’s contributions.

"Borrow one," Yun Yue said, turning to walk back, Feng Ye followed her in astonishment.

The most basic type of mine detector operates by generating an electromagnetic field that induces eddy currents in buried metallic objects, and detecting these currents to pinpoint mines. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

A mine detector typically consists of a probe, a signal processing unit, and an alarm system.

"Are you joking?" Feng Ye asked.

Where would they find one to borrow in this desolate wilderness?

Surely not from the Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps.

It was highly probable that they were the ones who planted the mines, possibly even watching them from hiding. Why would they lend them a mine detector?

Only a fool would lend it.

Yun Yue gave him a sharp glance, then approached a tall, skinny man who had a sniper rifle slung over his back. Out of politeness, she asked, "May I use your sniper rifle?"

Mi Xiao clenched the handle of his bag, his questioning gaze shifting to Feng Ye, who gave a slight nod, prompting him to carefully take it down from his back.

Mi Xiao asked uncertainly, "Do you know how to use it?"

Yun Yue nodded, her eyebrows lifting slightly, "If it breaks, make your boss compensate you with the latest model."

Mi Xiao’s eyes lit up and he handed over his beloved sniper rifle to Yun Yue.

He knew his boss wasn’t usual about this woman; if she broke it, his boss would definitely replace it for him.

Profitable.

Mi Xiao was silently calculating when Yun Yue had already started walking up the mountain with the case on her back.

Feng Ye was about to speak when her voice came through, "Wait here, Anna, come with me."

Anna was stunned for a moment but quickly followed, her lips tightly pursed, remaining silent as she walked behind Yun Yue.

"Boss, K is heading up the mountain, what should we do?" the deputy asked, his eyes filled with terror staring at the figure of Yun Yue.

Once on the mountain, they couldn’t see her at all, just knowing she was headed up.

"Why the rush? She might not be heading in our direction," Dao Ba said, holding onto a stroke of luck, planning to wait a little longer to see how things played out.

Ten minutes later, there was still no activity, and in the dim night light, it was difficult to see the path, let alone climb the mountain.

"Mr. Feng, could something go wrong?" Duwa was somewhat worried — if the Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps had people hidden on the mountain, the two of them were unfamiliar with the terrain and could easily be ambushed.

"Don’t worry, the lack of any noise means they’re fine," Feng Ye patiently waited, guessing Yun Yue must have discovered something.

After another five minutes, Yun Yue found a concealed spot to hide, set up the sniper rifle, adjusted the position, and looked through the scope at the person in her sights.

The corner of her lips curved slightly upward as she fine-tuned the scope, then gently pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A bullet suddenly flew into the stone beside Dao Ba, who abruptly came to his senses and looked behind him.

His gaze was filled with terror as he stared into the dense, dark mountains, a chill running from his feet to the tip of his hair, a sense of horror overwhelming him.

He breathed heavily, still rattling from the shock, staring at the stone beside him — if the bullet had been off by just a little bit, it would have exploded his head!

"Boss, are you alright?" the deputy asked, also with a look of horror.

K had shown mercy.

"No, no problems," Dao Ba said, his voice unsteady, his back soaked with a cold sweat, a night breeze making him shiver uncontrollably.

"Retreat, retreat immediately," he tried to appear calm and directed his gaze towards a certain direction, issuing the order without hesitation.

One of his men, unwilling to retreat, immediately spoke up, "Boss, why retreat? This is the only way they can go, and those three trucks’ worth of goods can sustain us for a year."

Upon hearing this, Dao Ba kicked him and cursed, "Are you blind? Can’t you see what that bullet was? It was only a little off, almost entering my head — do you want the enemy to kill me so you can usurp my position?!"

"No, no, Boss, I’m absolutely loyal!"

This bullet was clearly K’s warning — if they did not retreat, next time it wouldn’t be rocks flowering, but their heads.

Just as they were about to leave, another knife flew past, barely missing and nailing into the ground between Dao Ba’s legs.

"..."

He trembled, his lower abdomen tightening, and he faintly felt the urge to urinate, thankful that it was dark and unclear, otherwise he would have lost a lot of face today.

With a dark expression, he removed a note from the knife.

[Borrow the Mine Detector for a bit.]

He glared around with a fierce look, feeling aggrieved and infuriated, not enjoying the sensation of his life being in someone else’s hands.

"Leave the Mine Detector, inform the brothers to retreat," he ordered directly, and the deputy who knew the reason maintained a stern face as he relayed the order.

He just knew K wasn’t that simple, no wonder their convoy arrived so quickly. Thanks to K being inside, Can Lang had been leading, and they hadn’t lost anything at all.

Fortunately, they hadn’t acted rashly; otherwise, the losses would have been severe this time.
