"This won't do. Sir, you can't act like this. The character of Bear Head and his people is not worthy of such trust," one of the hunters brought along, who had been listening to Yang Xiaoyou, spoke up anxiously in a somewhat convoluted manner.
It seemed he wanted to persuade Yang Xiaoyou to change his mind.
"Let's not bring up past grievances now. At a time like this, shouldn't we work together instead of waiting for death? Do you think I would be so reckless as to ignore the bigger picture?" Bear Head replied, his tone urgent and stern. He harbored a deep hatred for the adversary that had caused trouble, and having finally found someone willing to take the lead, he couldn't afford to let it all fall apart. Who knew when that thing would strike again? If it were targeting him this time...
On the other side, Yang Xiaoyou felt somewhat speechless. What a hassle! It was hard enough to find such an easily manipulated naive youth; he just hoped nothing would go wrong.
Since there were already team members expressing concerns, Yang Xiaoyou knew he couldn't appear too anxious; otherwise, they would surely notice something was off.
"Mr. Bear Head, it's not that I don't trust you, but my life will be in your hands soon. Time waits for no one, and we don't know when that thing will come out again," Yang Xiaoyou sighed with hesitation in his voice. His already pale face showed signs of fluctuating emotions, seemingly worried that delays would hinder their plans.
However, only he understood that with **'s cunning and caution, avoiding him—the one who appeared 'weak'—would surely raise its suspicions. It wouldn't come out without observing for a long time or without some kind of provocation from his side.
And that provocation would naturally need to be arranged by him.
"We're running out of time! We must cooperate fully at this moment!" Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou express doubts, Bear Head became secretly anxious as well, his expression urgent.
He looked as if he were about to lay his heart bare.
"Alright then. Listen to my plan. I will use our experience to lure it out with sound and food while you all hide at a distance, ready to shoot when it shows itself. However, we don't have enough weapons. Let's split two guns for our protection. And remember, we must wait until the trap has temporarily contained it before shooting; also, your food is a crucial Bait. Bring it out; I doubt I'll be in the mood to eat you at a time like this," Yang Xiaoyou said, revealing an understanding of the urgency while using that suspicion as an excuse to acquire two guns.
Both guns—Although their range and penetration power were quite poor—had lead bullets that could inflict significant damage on flesh and blood, which wasn't too bad after all.
On the other side, upon hearing that Yang Xiaoyou was willing to follow his plan, Bear Head became alert. Although he readily agreed verbally, he first wanted him to assign positions for everyone, seemingly preparing to assess their suitability and safety.
When he noticed that the young man was concerned they might be attacked and suggested they spread out a bit more—ensuring that even if someone was attacked, others would have enough reaction time to shoot—the tension in him eased considerably.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoyou casually used some hunting tools from inside the house to create an impressive-looking trap that seemed quite powerful; these hunting traps were specifically designed for Polar Bears.
At the same time, he called Qian Kai over to the trap and together they began to divide the food into portions. Zhang Liang continued to hide among the crowd, positioned much closer than the group of hunters that had entered later, seemingly creating an illusion that he could block any sudden charges if necessary.
This continuous arrangement immediately put Bear Head at ease; it seemed that the other party was indeed focused on hunting down the Shadow Assassin hidden in the shadows.
"Don't worry, we've been hunting for years, and our aim is extremely precise. You don't have to worry about accidentally hitting anyone. We'll only shoot after you safely exit," Bear Head said loudly to reassure Yang Xiaoyou. However, a hint of sarcasm flashed through his heart; after all, if that thing could destroy roofs, could they really trap it completely? Waiting until they left to shoot? Was he out of his mind? As for aiming, that was even more ridiculous. Here, in order to increase the hit rate, they were using something akin to a shotgun approach. Those two Baits, who seemed very confident in their skills, were already dead in his eyes.
When the trouble was dealt with, what did it matter if two people died? Could anyone here compete with his seasoned hunters?
Once all the pressure was released, he would surely enjoy a wonderful life. In these uncertain days, being able to attract such a level of beauty was worth it—even if he couldn't survive past this point, he would accept it!
As he thought about this, Bear Head casually glanced at Liang Wuxuan beside him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Initially, he had planned to leave purely out of concern for their guns, but now it seemed he could achieve multiple goals: dealing with the monster tracking them and eliminating the troublesome fellow at once!
"The reason it's been following you is because of the food you're carrying. If you had given it up earlier on your journey, you wouldn't be in such trouble," Yang Xiaoyou said after finishing setting up the trap.
Without a doubt, his words convinced the hunters; each one of them was a seasoned expert at dealing with beasts and naturally understood certain characteristics of wild animals.
Their confidence as hunters in understanding beasts was fully grasped.
"Listen up! I will scatter food around the trap. My companion will assist in protecting me while I eat here as an injured person. This will definitely attract it out. Once it appears, we’ll activate the trap to capture it. After that, it's up to you. But remember to wait until my companion takes me away before shooting—this is crucial!" Struggling to move beside the trap while securing a weapon at his waist and awkwardly carrying another in his hands, Yang Xiaoyou shakily sat down on the ground.
Whether intentional or not, his voice was quite loud and he made sure to articulate each word clearly as if afraid those hunters wouldn’t hear him.
After taking a piece of Seal Jerky and stuffing it into his mouth, Yang Xiaoyou smiled and glanced towards Liang Wuxuan in the distance before asking in Chinese, "Are you ready?"
The Demoness smiled and made a "K" gesture with her hand.
The hunters, who occupied the most comfortable positions and were responsible for the main damage output, had their attention fully focused on Yang Xiaoyou and Beside's Qian Kai, staring intently as if afraid to miss a moment.
In their eyes, the Shadow Assassin lurking in the shadows was merely a high-level beast driven by instinct. Although the trap seemed simple, the presence of live bait significantly increased the chances of luring it out. All they needed to do was wait for this opportunity.
A simultaneous Bullet Hell attack might not kill it outright, but it would definitely weaken it. At that point, all they would need to do was deliver the finishing blow.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoyou, positioned beside the trap, was comfortably and openly stuffing his mouth with Beef Jerky. As he chewed, he occasionally glanced over at Bear Head's group, sharing a 'friendly' smile whenever their eyes met.
That genuinely innocent smile felt like a cleansing of the soul, causing Bear Head to experience a slight pang of guilt.
However, just as he shook off that feeling, there was a sudden explosion behind him as the wall they were leaning against shattered with a loud bang, splintered wood flying everywhere!
The entire wall had been breached!
