Liang Xin’an was startled, and at that moment, Jiang Qian’s facial features suddenly began to melt.
No mistake.
They were melting.
His eyebrows, eyes, and nose quickly softened and collapsed.
Only that mouth remained open, emitting a chilling laugh.
"Heh heh heh heh heh..."
But at that moment, a loud gunshot suddenly rang out from within the tent.
Half of "Jiang Qian’s" head was blown apart, and then Liang Xin’an, holding a massive firearm, fired again.
Boom!
The remaining half of Jiang Qian’s head was also blown to pieces.
Only then did Liang Xin’an coldly say, "What’s so funny? Don’t you know your laughter is quite unpleasant!"
Jiang Qian’s corpse fell to the ground, still trembling incessantly.
Only then did Liang Xin’an breathe a slight sigh of relief.
He had felt something was wrong, so after returning to the camp, he borrowed this firearm from Jing Rou for self-defense, not expecting it would come in handy so soon.
Even now, Liang Xin’an was still a bit uneasy. He approached the corpse and fired a few more shots, blasting it into complete fragments with no further movement, before turning to leave the tent to inform Jing Rou and Huang Liang.
But before he could go, the entire camp erupted into chaos.
Terrified screams echoed, mingled with gunfire and explosions, creating utter confusion.
Liang Xin’an’s heart was full of regret.
Why hadn’t he informed others when he sensed something was wrong with these people?
But now it was too late, and Liang Xin’an shot a servant from the caravan approaching him awkwardly and rushed away.
Just as he reached the Mechanical Sect disciples’ station, the sight before him shocked him.
Numerous disciples were lying in pools of blood, and the remaining ones were barely holding on.
Besides the caravan attackers, many Snow Demons had infiltrated the camp unnoticed.
Although the Mechanical Sect’s weaponry was formidable, they were caught off guard by these caravan members, suffering heavy losses.
Seeing this scene, Liang Xin’an’s eyes turned red, and he shot with his gun in his left hand and crossbow in his right, finally temporarily repelling the attackers, then rushed inside.
"Where is Senior Brother Jing?!" Liang Xin’an asked solemnly.
The Mechanical Sect disciples were still in shock, "We don’t know!"
"Gather together, rely on each other, aim for their heads and don’t let them take advantage." Liang Xin’an instructed, then rushed toward the camp’s central big tent.
Earlier, Kong Xiangdong had invited the Shopkeeper Li into this big tent for a drink, and Jing Rou and Huang Liang had accompanied him.
And since the entire caravan had been corrupted by the Snow Demon, this Shopkeeper Li was unlikely to be unaffected, likely the most formidable monster of the caravan.
Otherwise, how could he interact with people so naturally and show no signs?
Thus, the situation for Senior Brother Jing and Huang Liang was perilous indeed.
Thinking of this, Liang Xin’an’s heart burned with urgency as he sniped Snow Demons along the way to accelerate his pace.
But before he could reach the tent, a loud explosion came from inside, and the entire tent was torn apart by a powerful shockwave.
Several figures burst out, and one of them shouted angrily.
"Jing Rou, are you crazy? We were still inside when you dared to throw a bomb?"
Hearing this voice, Liang Xin’an stopped, stared intently, and felt relieved.
He saw Jing Rou, Huang Liang, and Kong Xiangdong emerging from the tent, looking disheveled but at least unharmed.
Meanwhile, after hearing Huang Liang’s roar, Jing Rou looked somewhat embarrassed but still defended.
"It was an emergency, no choice. Besides, I calculated the dosage to ensure it wouldn’t fail."
At this time, Liang Xin’an arrived and asked, "Senior Brothers, Leader Kong, what happened?"
Jing Rou grinned, "Nothing, just that Old Li got possessed by a damn Snow Demon, and he tried to contaminate us. I had to feed him a Thunder Bomb."
While Liang Xin’an was in the tent with Jiang Qian, Shopkeeper Li had attacked abruptly, intending to infect the three of them during their drink with Kong Xiangdong.
However, despite their apparent warmth at the feast, each of them was on guard internally.
So Shopkeeper Li’s sudden attack did nothing, and Jing Rou seized the opportunity to throw a Thunder Bomb into his mouth.
"So what about Shopkeeper Li?" Liang Xin’an asked.
"Over there, all of that," Jing Rou pointed at the tent’s area.
"Alright, no more talking, let’s go reinforce everyone!" Huang Liang shouted.
The three were about to leave when a sudden change occurred.
From the large crater on the ground emerged a round Snow Bead, rolling rapidly.
Soon, the Snow Beads gathered and began to merge.
