Female Novel
Chapter 674
Joyce leaned her back against the weathered stone, took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm
and quiet. The coldness of the cold stone invaded her skin gradually, and she even felt cold in the
heart.
She closed her eyes and listened carefully to the sound of footsteps behind her.
She judged their location and distance with the sounds.
Two people were approaching her quietly. The palms of her feet hit the gravel ground, emitting a
distinctive "rustling" sound, which could be clearly distinguished when she listened carefully. Although
she shot static targets most of the time, she had also done mobile skeet for three years. Besides, she
had participated in many outdoor activities during the training period, and she was thus quite good at
judging distances with sounds and shooting mobile targets. She didn't expect that she did notnovelbin
participate in the mobile skeet competition back then, but now she has made use of it.
They were getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, she found an opportunity. She stood up and spun, holding her gun in one hand, and when a
killer was about to approach her, she fired a shot, fast and accurate, hitting the killer's right chest.
Then, with another bang, she fired her last bullet, hitting another killer a little further away from her.
Both the bullets hit the right chests and their lives would be in danger if they were not treated in time.
This time, she wasn't as merciful as she was at Hill Benjamin, when she shot the thugs in the knee to
make sure they would not die. Today, in order to get rid of them for good, she had to take down one of
them with each shot.
Two more killers were down now, and there were still nine to go, including Ricky.
"Everyone stays put for now. She's a good shot, and we'll lose a lot if we risk going up there." Ricky
shouted, "Don't move, stay put and take cover. There's more than one way up. Let's go around the side
and avoid any open space."
Now that three of them were down, the remaining eight killers were quite hesitant.
They didn't expect that a mere woman would be a rare marksman. The shots were deadly and precise.
This was definitely not some good business to them. They just wanted to earn some money, and why
should they risk their life? They exchanged glances, all with dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Ricky saw that they were timid. Immediately, he shouted in a stern voice, "Let’s move forward! Ten
times the bonus for the one who kills her."
In an instant, the killers all felt tempted and left the brief fear behind. They just could not believe that
with so many of them here, they still could not deal with a woman!
Joyce took advantage of their internal disputes. She rushed forward and grabbed the gun that the
nearest killer had dropped on the ground, then she rolled forward in a circle.
Ricky was the first to notice her movement and fired two shots at her. She lightly dodged Ricky's pistol
shots, and then she ducked behind another boulder.
The trouble was that her calf was injured, and although she could still walk, it was best to bandage it.
She didn't want to spend more time with them here, and she didn't have enough bullets to repel them
all. So, she dodged directly into the forest of boulders behind her.
Just now she was on the outskirts of the stone forest, but when she really got into the stone forest,
Joyce felt regret. Inside the stone forest, it was not as she thought. She could not even find a place to
hide here. She could not find even a blade of grass, not to mention bushes. There were only rough,
sharp-edged gravels on the ground. She might even stumble if she did not pay attention.
She really wasn't familiar with the terrain and had never heard of such a peculiar place in Khebury.
