While Diao Si was still thinking about how to go back to Guangnan Empire to find Lafite and Kava in the future, Zhui Hao suddenly stopped not far in front of Ruifeng City.
"Zhui Hao, what's going on? Why don't you leave?" Diao Si asked strangely, and kept looking around. He knew that Zhui Hao must have discovered something wrong when he suddenly stopped like this.
Oops, he fell into a trap. Diao Si had already noticed that a group of people had blocked his retreat. Then a group of rat men suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him, and the monsters lying in ambush around him rushed out.
These were probably the bandits they encountered before. Unexpectedly, they had escaped in the woods before, but now they were still surrounded. It seemed that these bandits were waiting for him here specifically. They were smarter this time and hid first to lure him into the trap.
"Zhui Hao, please pay attention to me later. We will leave as soon as we have the opportunity." Although he was surrounded, Diao Si was still confident to leave. After all, Zhui Hao was a super powerful three-legged monster.
"Listen to the man above, you have to die here, and then leave your food and mount behind..." An elite rat man in front pointed at Diao Si and said.
After a warrior wearing armor came up from behind, the rats immediately hid aside. These big rats were always so annoying and liked to use others to dominate others.
"First collect his food and mount. This man is still young. Let's keep him and take him as a coolie." The soldier said this, and then Diao Si slowly remembered that he should still be wearing the armor from Ruifeng City before. .
"Wait, you are the remnants of Ruifeng City? Then you must still remember when the Guangnan Empire attacked the city..." Diao Si hoped that there were still former soldiers who would recognize him and let him go or something.
"When the Guangnan Empire attacked the city? I was still working as a border guard at that time. I didn't expect that when I came back here, everything would be in ruins. With his roots, I was the only one left in the entire family..."
Only when the guy said this did Diao Si know that this soldier was indeed a soldier from Ruifeng City, but he had been working as a guard at the border and did not know Diao Si. Therefore, if Diao Si told him that he was once the commander-in-chief of Ruifeng City, he would probably only would be considered crazy.
Also, all the soldiers in Ruifeng City have probably died in the battle. They have already experienced two wars, how can they survive until now.
"Well, since you were once a soldier, how could you degenerate like this and become a bandit here? Where has your sense of honor gone?" Diao Si tried to persuade him, hoping that he could leave.
"My sense of honor?" The warrior laughed after hearing this, and the rat people and various monsters around him also laughed. In fact, most of them didn't know that the warrior was smiling bitterly.
"My sense of honor starved to death a long time ago. After it died, I was reborn. When I was reborn, I realized that that damn sense of honor was useless, and then I embarked on this path of depravity... "
Diao Si could tell that the more this guy said this, the more it showed that he actually cared about that sense of honor. In this world, the sense of honor is like the belief of soldiers. They regard it as more important than life. It is precisely because of it that they are easily exploited by the rulers.
"Since you no longer have a sense of honor, I don't expect anything to happen to you. I just have a request. Don't you want food? I can keep all the food. Can you please let me go?"
Diao Si said this while paying close attention to the changes in the warrior's expression and the monsters surrounding them. If this soldier doesn't agree, he will have to force a breakthrough and leave here.
"I can think about this. Anyway, our boss has said that one more person means one more mouth, unless it's these big shit-eating rats. In fact, we don't have to keep you in trouble, but you must keep that three-legged monster. , it worked a lot for us.”
If Zhui Hao left behind, Diao Si didn't know how to reach the forest that Lao Zhu mentioned. It seems that there is no other choice, so let's give it a try. The monsters here probably can't do anything to him yet.
"Wind Elf, Wind Elf..." While casting spells like this, Diao Si realized that his magic seemed to be affected somewhat. This was probably because he still had the golden arrow stuck in his body. In this case, it is even more necessary for him to get it out first, otherwise he will be a disabled warrior.
The wind was not very strong, but it was enough to blow up the sand and dust. When the monsters were covering their eyes, Diao Si took the opportunity to yell at Zhui Hao, and then they rushed past the monsters.
There was no difficulty. After rushing over like this, the warrior and the monsters could only chase after them while shouting. But with their speed, except for the two birdmen, how could other monsters catch up to Zhui Hao.
"Master, they haven't caught up with them, have they?" Zhui Hao asked Diao Si without looking back, but he was worried that the monsters would catch up with him.
Diao Si looked at the group of monsters chasing behind him, then looked at the two chasing birdmen, and then told Zhui Hao with a smile: "Those fools are so stupid that they still chase after knowing that they can't catch up. How can you catch up with us? Just run away."
But thinking about those monsters chasing him like this, Diao Si felt a little uneasy. Are they really that stupid? You know you're getting further and further away, but you still chase after me
"Zhui Hao, you'd better be careful. There might be someone on the way..." Before Diao Si could finish speaking, La Hao suddenly fell into a pit. It turns out there is a trap here. These nasty big rats have already dug the hole. These big, deceiving rats!
Fortunately, Diao Si did not fall very hard and did not hit the golden arrow on his body. When he stood up, he realized that the pit was still a bit deep and would not be easy to climb up, especially for a three-legged monster like Zhui Hao, and the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.
"His roots, do you know that you are seeking death?" The soldier was still panting when he caught up, and immediately ordered the rat men to jump into the pit, and tied up Diao Si and Zhui Hao first.
There is no chance now. Being tied up can bring these bandits to the Guangnan Empire. Diao Si and Zhui Hao have no way to escape, and how can they let him go
"Brother, I don't want to tease you like this, but Zhui Hao can't give it to you. We have very important things... Uh-huh." Diao Si couldn't help shouting when those rat men touched the golden arrow on his body.
When he shouted like this, he naturally attracted the attention of the soldier. This was terrible. If they took a fancy to this golden arrow and tried to pull it out by force, it would kill Diao Si.
"His root, what kind of weapon is this? How come you can feel so comfortable with it inserted into your body?" The soldier couldn't believe it the more he looked at it, and began to look at Diao Si from top to bottom.
"This... this is a prop... it is a dangerous item. You'd better let me take it away quickly, otherwise you will all get into trouble..."
Diao Si didn't even know what to say, because the soldier hadn't made a clear statement yet, so he could only say this in the chaos, hoping to scare these people and make them let him go.
"This is unusual. It's better not to ask the boss for permission yet. Let's take him back and see how the boss handles him." The soldier hesitated for a moment before saying this. Then the big rats and other monsters pulled Diao Si and Zhui Hao back to the ground, and then headed towards Ruifeng City.
This is a good thing, because at least his life is saved. It depends on what kind of person the so-called boss is. When the time comes to meet him, we can adapt accordingly.
Judging from the warrior's reaction when he saw the golden arrow just now, it seems that these people have no interest in gold. All they value is food. Of course, he had felt unbelievable before because Diao Si suffered such a serious injury, but this was no threat to Diao Si for the time being.
Ruifeng City has experienced two previous catastrophes, and the creatures that once lived in the city have probably moved to other places. Now these bandits should be the only ones left here. It is still impossible to guess who this boss is and who can control this group of bandits.
It's better to make plans to escape first, and do everything possible to please this boss, even if you have to be his little brother for a while. As long as you save your life and keep Zhui Hao, you can still leave one day. (To be continued)
