"Yaa~"
The Goodra waved its hand at Bai Ye, seeking praise.
Bai Ye smiled and waved back, signaling the Goodra to jump down and catch him.
After landing, Bai Ye patted the Goodra's head as a reward and then recalled it into its Beast Ball.
The surroundings were already in chaos, naturally due to the sudden appearance of a falling body.
The commotion near Hongmen Bridge had already caused some unease, but this area was still a distance away from the bridge, so it hadn't escalated into full panic. However, the sudden appearance of the corpse was the final straw that broke everyone's composure. Screams could be heard everywhere, and people were fleeing.
Bai Ye quickly pushed through the crowd, took out his phone, and called Jin Sha. "Hello, how are things on your end?"
"Watching the show," Jin Sha replied. "The police roadblocks have been breached, and the fighting has reached the bridge. Not only the Canglong Society you mentioned, but the Chosen Ones are also making their moves. It's utter chaos."
Bai Ye asked, "Where's Alex?"
Jin Sha said, "Don't know."
Bai Ye sounded confused. "Hmm?"
Jin Sha explained, "That Muk was intercepted by the Canglong Society. But just as they were about to succeed, a Chosen One suddenly attacked the Canglong Society. Then, unexpectedly, the Muk threw Alex into the river."
Bai Ye questioned, "Was there backup on the water?"
"Yes!" Jin Sha confirmed. "It should be Alex's Beast Master. He had arranged a Lapras on the water, a water-type beast that can move on water. It was carrying Alex and intended to cross. However, halfway through, they were intercepted by several speedboats. There was a fierce fight. Alex seemed to have been taken, but not long after they sped off, the yacht was blown up by a rocket launcher. The perpetrators jumped into the river beforehand, and now they're nowhere to be seen... Wait, I see people. They're taking Alex and climbing onto the bridge."
Bai Ye could feel the excitement just by listening.
This was a true free-for-all.
This was actually a very practical problem.
The Canglong Society had more people and was escorting Alex to force their way across Hongmen Bridge. The other Chosen Ones would certainly not be content, but being discontent didn't necessarily mean they would act.
Why?
Because the first ones to make a move would be cannon fodder!
Therefore, Bai Ye knew that without cooperation, it would be difficult to stop the Canglong Society. Although there were dozens of remaining Chosen Ones, their total numbers were at least two to three times that of the Canglong Society, but no one was willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good and become cannon fodder for others.
But once the Canglong Society slipped up and gave others an opportunity, all sorts of opportunistic individuals naturally joined the fray, leading to a chaotic battle.
At this point, Jin Sha asked, "What now? Should I make a move?"
Bai Ye replied, "You can go, but don't be too aggressive. Hongmen Bridge is so long. Even if you manage to snatch Alex, there's still the escort across the bridge, and after crossing, there's still about a kilometer to the regional boundary. So, the main objective now is to keep an eye on Alex as much as possible and then find a suitable opportunity to intercept him."
"Okay!" Jin Sha thought for a moment. "Actually, I can also travel by water, and it's a bit different from the previous Beast Master's water route. I can go underwater."
Bai Ye asked, "Oh?"
Jin Sha elaborated, "I have a beast called a Wailord, a whale-type beast that can dive. As it stands, traveling on the water isn't very feasible. Many people have long-range attack capabilities, and being a target on the water would definitely draw concentrated fire. However, if I can stealthily move underwater, I think it's still viable, and Wailord's defense is quite good."
Underwater travel?
After hearing this, Bai Ye felt quite tempted. This was indeed a promising idea.
"However..." Jin Sha continued, "I'm not confident I can snatch Alex. Even using the Iron Blood Warrior's plasma cannon, it's still uncertain. In such a chaotic battle, I'm realizing how many true experts there are."
"That's alright," Bai Ye said. "I've already arrived at Hongmen Bridge. Where are you?"
Jin Sha replied, "I'm already on the bridge, hiding under a car."
"Keep an eye on Alex!" Bai Ye instructed. "I'll meet up with you soon!"
Jin Sha nodded. "Okay!"
Bai Ye hung up the phone, Hongmen Bridge was now within sight.
The police roadblocks had been breached, but the gunfight was still ongoing.
There were many reasons for the continued gunfight. Firstly, this chaotic battle didn't just involve the Chosen Ones; Alex, the major drug lord, had his subordinates.
Alex's subordinates didn't care who was taking Alex away; they only knew they had to guard the bridgehead and help their boss cross the bridge and leave the city.
Secondly, although the police roadblocks had been broken through, the police personnel were still present, and they were currently exchanging fire with Alex's subordinates.
Among them were also gang members who wanted to get involved and stir up trouble.
In addition, the Chosen Ones were consciously trying to hold their positions, preventing the Canglong Society members from easily crossing the bridge.
Cooperation was out of the question, but among the other Chosen Ones, there were also small groups of three to five people. After all, if one hundred million was divided among five people, each would still get twenty million. By having one or two people from these small groups hold the bridgehead and attack, they could prevent the Canglong Society members from crossing.
After all, they were competing amongst themselves, and everyone had a chance.
Once the Canglong Society crossed the bridge and seized Alex, the situation would revert to what it was before. Who would be willing to confront so many people from the Canglong Society head-on? Moreover, besides numbers, the individual strength of each member of the Canglong Society was also quite formidable.
Therefore, the current situation was that many people had reached a tacit understanding: while pursuing Alex, they were also jointly blocking the Canglong Society. Although many Canglong Society members had gone onto the bridge to pursue Alex, at least more than half of them were being intercepted at the bridgehead.
This way, everyone still had a chance to compete.
But often, there would always be someone to break the balance and become the disruptor, so...
Bai Ye had arrived!
Bai Ye also knew that blocking a large portion of the Canglong Society at the bridgehead was a good strategy. Otherwise, if the Canglong Society members regrouped, everyone would find it troublesome.
But the problem was, if he didn't cause trouble...
He wouldn't be able to get onto the bridge either!
Currently, to advance, the intercepting forces would automatically assume Bai Ye was also a member of the Canglong Society, while the Canglong Society knew Bai Ye was not one of them.
Good heavens, a world where only he got hurt was so happily achieved!
Therefore, for Bai Ye to get onto the bridge, he had to break the situation at the bridgehead!
The next moment, as Qiao Ye thought, he released the Goodra again.
Bai Ye reached out and patted the Goodra's back, pointing towards the bridgehead. "Goodra, use Meteor Beam!"
"Yaa~"
The Goodra let out a soft cry, opened its small hands, and a strange radiance suddenly appeared on its body.
