The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

"Damn, it's bulletproof glass! I clearly hit it!" The bearded man who fired the gun was very upset.

However, the bald man driving the car was not angry but happy: "Bulletproof glass, this is going to make a fortune, we must not let it get away."

He picked up the intercom and ordered excitedly, "Mongerol, Ilya! Shoot the tires, force the Raptor to stop!"

…………

Li Shanze seemed to have anticipated the strategy of the uninvited guest. He drove the car in an irregular route to avoid the bullets flying from behind.

The witch calmed herself down, bit her lip, and took out the pocket pistol. She looked back, but her fingers were still trembling, as if she lacked the confidence and determination to shoot.

Then, Miss Witch exclaimed, "It's the poachers! The same poachers I drove away from Cuyahoga Valley National Park! Those bastards!"

It seemed that Miss Witch recognized the people chasing them.

These old friends gave Charlie the courage to shoot. Cursing, she rolled down the window, leaned out as far as she could, and then emptied the magazine with a bang.

However, Miss Witch's accuracy was very worrying, and these bullets did not cause any damage to the three Hummers behind - of course, this was not entirely Xia Li's responsibility. In order to avoid possible bullets, Li Shanze drove the car in a crooked route, which made it difficult for her to control the center of gravity. This was also one of the reasons.

"Ms. Butner, what I want to say is, since you're a witch, can you use some wizarding skills and spells to interfere with them? Theoretically, this place already belongs to Fern Town! You can already use the power of Buchaska!"

"My witchcraft will cause the car to stall! I can't guarantee what will happen to the car while it's driving at high speed. Is this okay?" the witch lady shouted.

"Ha, then let me try it first!" Li Shanze slammed his foot on the accelerator.

As the Ford Raptor suddenly accelerated, Charlie's back leaned heavily on the soft seat, and her long brown hair swung back uncontrollably, like a flower blooming in winter.

…………

"Drive faster, faster! That car is going to run away!" The bearded man holding a gun complained loudly as he watched the Ford Raptor, which was as nimble as a loach, pulling the Hummer, which was moving in a straight line, further and further away.

Now it was the bald man's turn to be upset. Veins bulged on his forehead. "That Raptor must have been modified! Our car can't catch up to it! And you, why don't you just shoot the tire?"

Seeing the Ford Raptor in front running farther and farther away, pulling their similarly modified Hummer further and further away, the bald man complained very unhappily and he was almost about to give up.

At this time, a young voice sounded over the intercom: "Gref! It's okay. I'm familiar with this road. There are trains carrying coal from the Appalachian Mountains passing by at this time every day. We just need to bite him!"

The bald man called Gref turned from anger to joy. He looked ahead and saw a train slowly approaching. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Great, great! Luck is here, and it can't be stopped! This train is coming at the perfect time! The guy up front has been forced to stop by the train! Everyone, hold on tight! Surround him! Don't let him get away this time! Ilya, you get a bigger share of the spoils this time!"

The bearded man also beamed. "Bulletproof glass and a modified engine? That guy is in the same business as us! Before we hunt the gods, let's make a killing with him!"

Amidst the laughter, several Humvees chased after it and approached the Raptor, which had stopped due to the obstruction of the train.

007 Close Combat

After a long period of sudden braking and gliding, Charlie felt her stomach churning, she saw stars, and felt nauseous.

The pickup truck barely managed to brake, while the train, traveling at perhaps only 30 miles per hour (about 50 kilometers per hour), rumbled slowly across the track.

"Hide well in the car and don't open the door!" In order to drown out the noise of the train, Li Shanze yelled at Xia Li.

Then he opened the car door, got out with a gun in hand, and slammed the door shut.

After the chase just now, Li Shanze thought that since the car had stopped, it would be too dangerous to stay in the car with half of his body sticking out to shoot.

The poachers chasing him were pretty good marksmen, so being a sitting duck wasn't a good idea. He might as well get out of the car, use the pickup truck as cover, and have a good time dealing with the bastards who were chasing him.

As soon as Li Shanze got out of the car, he suddenly rolled to the side and moved in front of the car.

The place where he was standing was immediately swept by a volley of bullets.

The intensive fire suppression forced him to hide under the cover of the car, making it difficult for him to free his hands to fight back.

But Li Shanze was not impatient. He held his breath and concentrated his attention. Finally, he took advantage of the gap between the pickup trucks' unleashing fire, seized the opportunity, and fired back fiercely.

Li Shanze aimed at the bald man who was driving, but unfortunately, his shot, which was intended to hit the target, hit the bulletproof glass in front of the bald man, leaving only a faint white mark on the glass.

"Hahahaha! You didn't expect that our car is also equipped with bulletproof glass!" Bald Gref said with a wild grin.

Veins bulged on the bald man's forehead, and a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes: "You dare to fight back? Brothers, don't rush to kill him, I want to treat him well! Shoot him!"

"Gref! Be careful!" The bearded man did not shoot as the bald man said, but instead pointed forward and shouted loudly.

A giant tree was slowly falling down, and the Hummer was about to hit it.

"Where did this damn tree come from!"

The bald man was startled and slammed on the brakes, and lifted the handbrake with his right hand, but it was too late. He watched the Hummer crash into the thick tree trunk with despair in his eyes.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh!"

The collision did not come as expected and the car was braked.

Bald Gref was gasping for breath, still in shock.

The bald man and the bearded accomplice looked at each other, and saw on each other's faces the relief and confusion of escaping death.

"The sun on the beach! What on earth is this *civilized language*?" The bald man cursed loudly, venting his emotions loudly, and his words were full of f-words.

The once noisy radio was now silent, even the annoying white noise was gone.

The bearded man's face was covered in cold sweat, and he looked blankly at the newly opened view ahead.

The train loaded with coal had slowly moved away, but the dark blue Ford Raptor remained motionless, showing no signs of escaping.

At the same time, on the other side, Li Shanze was also looking at the suddenly collapsed towering tree in confusion, and also at a Hummer driving out from the towering tree in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

He tried to shoot the Humvee's tire, but found that the gun was jammed and the bullet could not be fired.

"What's going on? Ms. Butner?" Li Shanze subconsciously thought of the witch lady and asked loudly.

"It's an illusion! Mr. Li, I used an illusion!" Xia Li's face was pale and her voice was very soft. If it weren't for the silence around them, Li Shanze probably wouldn't have been able to hear what Xia Li said.

No wonder the gun jammed, it turned out to be affected by the spell. Li Shanze suddenly realized, so he threw down the fire stick in his hand and ran forward with big strides.

"Wait, Mr. Li, where are you going?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Butner. While your magic is still effective, I'll go and solve these problems once and for all!" Li Shanze rushed towards the Hummer, "You should have a good rest!"

In Li Shanze's opinion, once the effect of the witchcraft completely dissipated and the Ford Raptor was restarted, several Hummers would probably follow immediately.

Looking at Charlie's pale and weak appearance, it was obvious that she would not be able to cast such a large spell a second time in the short term.

In order to avoid any further complications, it is best to take advantage of the time window when all the cars and guns are ineffective to kill these poachers.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Li," Xia Li said breathlessly. "I don't know how long this illusion can last. I'm afraid it will disappear soon. You must be careful."

However, Li Shanze had already rushed out at this time, and Xia Li's weak voice was swept away by the howling north wind and did not reach Li Shanze's ears.

"Ha! That guy's crazy! He didn't take the opportunity to escape, but rushed forward to die!" The bald man laughed loudly. He looked at Li Shanze, who was running towards him in a black windbreaker, and started the car fiercely. "Watch me grind him into a pulp!"

But the car didn't budge. The bald man pounded his fist on the steering wheel in anger, not even thinking of honking the horn.

"This damn car broke down! Shoot, Kerry, shoot! Shoot him into pieces!" The bald man shouted ferociously to his bearded companion. At the same time, he held the gun in one hand and pushed the car door with the other.

However, the car door did not budge.

"No, the gun is jammed! Damn it! What on earth happened!" Bearded Kerry was extremely anxious. He lowered his head to check the gun and tried to fix the "jammed" gun.

But it was too late.

Wearing a bowler hat and a long black trench coat, Li Shanze came rushing over like a cannonball.

Although Li Shanze was dressed elegantly as if he was going to attend a dinner party, he had now completely transformed into a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Li Shanze smashed the bulletproof glass with one punch, then grabbed the bearded man's collar, dragged him out of the car, threw him to the ground, and then, with a snap, stepped on his neck and broke it.

Then Li Shanze went around to the other side of the Hummer and tore off the door with his bare hands. He completely ignored the shaky fire poker in the bald man's hand and patted the dust off his hands.

Then, Li Shanze smiled and said to the bald man whose fierce expression had been replaced by fear: "You can't get out, I'll help you."

In extreme fear, the bald man's upper and lower teeth began to fight, making a rattling sound.

"Look, sir, it's so rude to point a gun at someone who is kind enough to help you." Li Shanze sighed pretentiously and held the bald man's gun-holding hand with one hand.

It's not that the bald man didn't try to struggle, but the man in front of him was so strong that he had no room to resist at all. He tried to pull the trigger several times, but the trigger was like cast steel and didn't move at all.

So the bald man could only nod his head repeatedly and blink his eyes desperately to beg for mercy. At the same time, he tried in vain to fire the gun and quietly pulled the trigger.

At this moment, the white noise on the radio sounded again, followed by a man's anxious and puzzled voice.

"Hello! Can you hear me? Gref! Kerry! Are you okay? What happened?"

With a bang, the gun went off.

008 Magic

Unfortunately, the bullet did not work the miracle that Bald Gref had prayed for in despair.

The moment the radio sounded, Li Shanze suddenly pulled the bald man's hand upwards.

Then, in the next moment, the bullet narrowly brushed past Li Shanze's collar and shot into the sky.

Li Shanze snatched the gun away and twisted the bald man's hand back.

The bald man's arm broke with a crisp crackling sound, and then beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his round, bald head due to the severe pain. His screams could be heard from far away on the silent forest road.

As Charlie's magic dissipated, the big tree across the middle of the road disappeared without a trace, and the other two Hummers that braked in time reappeared in Li Shanze's sight.

At the same time, they also saw the Hummer and Li Shanze, and they were shocked by the bald man's miserable condition.

Although they didn't have time to figure out what was going on, they were well-trained and immediately entered combat mode. Two of them leaned out of the car window at the same time, raised their guns and were about to shoot Li Shanze.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Shanze pulled the bald man out of the Hummer, threw him to the ground, raised his hand and shot one of the men who leaned out and tried to shoot him, then hid in the Hummer in one step.

It was too late to deal with the other gunman at this time. Li Shanze could only lie on the seat and shrink his body into the car as much as possible to avoid the incoming bullets.

Li Shanze was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the gap in the gunfire to counterattack. He quietly observed the gunman's actions through the car's rearview mirror.

Then Li Shanze saw a scene that surprised him.

The gunman was clearly holding a rifle, and then, suddenly, the rifle turned into an American badger.

The expression on the badger's face was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that it had no idea why it suddenly fell into the hands of humans, and all four of its legs were firmly held.

Then, the enraged badger immediately opened its mouth and bit the gunman's hand.

Therefore, the gunshots that Li Shanze had expected did not sound, but instead, roars of shock and anger were heard over the radio.

"What's going on, ah! Ahhhhhh! Let me go, let me go! Ahhhhh! Help! Mom!"

There was already a cry in his voice.

There is no doubt that this is the credit of Miss Witch.

Li Shanze turned his head and saw that the witch had no strength to shout. She was panting, bent over, holding her legs, and forced a smile at Li Shanze who was looking at her.

The badger was not sure who was the culprit who put it in the hands of humans, so it could only vent its anger by biting the gunman several times, and then scratched the gunman's face with its sharp front claws.

Finally, the badger farted in the gunman's face, then ran away triumphantly. Soon, its figure disappeared in the white snow forest.

At this moment, the Humvee started up, carrying the gunman's embarrassed sobbing voice: "Ugh, cough cough cough! This, this must be cursed, I really should have believed my mother! I was wrong, Lord, I repent to you, I will never dare to offend you again! That blasphemous thing was not my fault! Please, for the sake of my parents being devout believers, don't let your messenger punish me again!"

Li Shanze, who had originally aimed his gun at the tire, listened to the crying and begging voice on the radio, looked at the young and naive face of the young man, hesitated for a moment, and moved the gun away.

"Thank you! Thank you! I, I will never dare to offend you again!"

The young gunman's voice was heard from the intercom for the last time, and then it fell into silence. The car disappeared in a flash.

Then, Li Shanze fired a shot, shooting the bald man who was trying to sneak away while gritting his teeth and enduring the pain of his broken arm.

The bald man was shot in the calf. The severe pain and muscle tearing made it impossible for him to stand up. He had to kneel down with a thud.

He could no longer bear it and screamed heart-wrenchingly.

Li Shanze no longer looked at the bald man, but walked quickly towards Xia Li, who looked like she was about to collapse.

"Hold, I'm sorry, Mr. Li, please give me a hand." Xia Li smiled on her pale face, and then leaned into Li Shanze's arms, "I'm sorry, I really don't have the strength."

Only then did Li Shanze notice that in the heavy snow and wind, Xia Li even had sweat on her forehead due to exhaustion.

"Go back to the car quickly, you will catch a cold." Li Shanze simply picked up the witch and carried her sideways, then ran towards the pickup truck with big strides.

As Li Shanze's strong arms lifted Xia Li horizontally, she felt an unprecedented sense of security, but also an indescribable shyness. Her cheeks involuntarily turned lightly red.

Although Charlie was weak, her heartbeat was pounding violently in her chest, as if trying to break free from the restraints of her body.

The witch lady was hanging in the air, and she put all the weight of her body on Li Shanze. Her heart trembled up and down with Li Shanze's firm footsteps.

A tingling sensation she had never experienced before started from the tip of her heart and slowly spread throughout her body, leaving Charlie, who had been able to stand, with almost no strength left.

Xia Li used up her last bit of strength and placed her fingertips on Li Shanze's fingers. Although separated by the black windbreaker, she could still feel his body temperature, his surging heart and surging heat.
