The gangsters regretted for the umpteenth time having messed with Shen Tang and the others.
At the same time, they were also "countless +1 times" thankful that they didn't offend anyone and were lucky enough to save their lives. They didn't know what Shen Tang and his men wanted to do, and when they heard the order to stay where they were, they could only obey reluctantly. Dozens of people gathered together, occasionally raising their hands to hit a blood-sucking mosquito, or just being absent-minded to kill time...
After waiting for more than an hour, the Black Star did not come back. Instead, he chatted happily with the unknown guards and finally fell asleep with them. The gangsters looked at each other, and no one dared to move, until someone couldn't help but said: "Run?"
The Black Star doesn't pay any attention to this side anymore.
What a great opportunity to escape!
"What if I escape and get caught?"
"What else can we do? If we run away, we'd better run for our lives and hide somewhere. How can the two of them catch us?" The gangster thought it was unlikely. They would be safe once the storm passed.
There are also more rational people who raise a practical question.
"It's so dark, how are we going to get down the mountain?"
If you can't see the mountain road clearly, falling down the mountain and dying is a relatively quick way to die. The only thing to be afraid of is encountering a hungry wolf with green eyes or other poisonous insects and beasts, and watching yourself being eaten and dismembered.
The gangsters: “…”
Upon hearing this, many thugs who were about to leave the ground sat back down quietly, carefully looking in the direction of Shen Tang and the others, fearing that their attempts to escape would be discovered and they would lose their lives.
The temperature in the mountains was low and the night wind was cold. The gangsters ignored the odor on each other and tried to get close to each other to gain warmth and security. Many of them even hugged their knees and buried their heads in sleep.
Then-
They were suddenly awakened by the thugs assigned to keep watch.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up, something happened!"
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Wake up, something big has happened!"
"What happened?"
The gangsters who were shaken awake looked confused. When they looked in the direction their companion pointed, they found it was pitch black. They stared wide-eyed and could barely see some dark, jumping shadows in the moonlight. Their nerves were instantly tense: "Are we coming to wolf?"
"Damn it!" the companion said angrily, "Fire, the fire over there suddenly went out, do you hear if there is still..."
They then remembered that the two black evil stars were staying in that direction. Weren't they getting along well with the strange caravan? Someone with better eyesight saw something reflecting the moonlight, and then a dark figure spurted blood and fell to the ground.
After a few breaths, another terrifying scream was heard.
The gangster's legs went weak and he shouted, "It must be the bandits coming!"
Could it be that the bandits knew that the previous leader was killed, so they sent people to avenge their brother? Would they kill them
Immediately, some thugs wanted to go down the mountain regardless of the consequences.
However, their actions were not as fast as Shen Tang's voice. Black Star walked out of the darkness holding a sword dripping with blood. At this moment, the dark clouds covering Xuan Rabbit gradually dissipated, and the bright moonlight illuminated her figure, half of her body was covered in blood!
"What are you doing?"
The Black Star glanced at them coldly.
The gangster who was about to escape suddenly felt his legs go weak and fell to his knees.
He shrank back and kowtowed for mercy.
Shen Tang shook off the blood on the sword.
Indifferently, he said, “Follow me.”
No matter how reluctant the gangsters were, they had no choice but to follow. Some of them supported each other, while others had to rely on themselves and crawl along.
The night wind from the forest blew the smell of blood into their faces.
After seeing the murder scene in the woods clearly, even though the thugs claimed to be fearless, they were so scared that their knees went weak and they fell to the ground on the spot.
Corpses were lying on the ground, with fatal wounds either on the neck or on the temple or between the eyebrows. These people had just died, their bodies were still fresh and warm, and even the blood that had just flowed out was warm. The soil was soaked with blood and became sticky.
When you step on it, a "blood" puddle in the shape of a footprint is left behind. People who don't know the situation would think it has rained here.
Shen Tang pursed his lips and said, "Go, move the body."
The gangsters were about to do it.
At this time, Zhai Le held a bow in his left hand and a torch in his right hand, with a bright smile still on his face. However, there was undried blood on his face, and people who saw this scene would only think he was scary.
"Everything has been done. No one is left alive."
Among these guards, except for the middle-aged man who is of the second-class upper grade, the others have barely touched the threshold of sensing the energy of heaven and earth. Their muscles and bones are only slightly stronger than those of ordinary people. Bullying the elderly, the weak, women and children is not a problem, but they are not good enough to face Brother Shen and him.
At first, Zhai Le thought that Shen Tang would leave some people alive - kill a few to serve as a warning to others, and recruit the rest. However, Brother Shen acted very quickly, killing them with every move, and had no intention of keeping them alive.
Zhai Le was puzzled at first, but understood after a little thought - those thugs could be intimidated and recruited, and then exploited as ordinary laborers in the future, but these guards were greedy for money and wanted to kill their masters. They also learned martial arts and colluded with each other, so who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.
It would be better to kill him and be done with it.
Little did they know that the thugs' faces had turned blue.
These two black stars...
What the hell is a real bandit
Did they just break into the caravan just to find an opportunity to kill people and rob them? The more the gangsters thought about it, the more they felt that their guess was right.
Shen Tang shouted, "What are you standing there for? Go dig a hole and move the body!"
The hooligans hurriedly said: "... here, here, here we go!"
They didn't dare to look at the boxes filled with gold, silver and jewels, and buried their heads in their work. Zhai Le smiled and lit a few torches and handed them to them for lighting. Shen Tang walked straight to the big wooden box that made the noise earlier, raised his hand and swung his sword, splitting the copper lock hanging on it.
Lift your foot and kick the lid open.
In this way, the person curled up in the box was exposed to her sight.
Zhai Le came forward, obviously knowing that there were people hiding in the wooden box, and said: "Is this the Lin family? There is actually someone alive..."
The Lin family members he mentioned were so frightened that their teeth were chattering. They raised their heads and revealed a pair of almost desperate eyes.
Zhai Le curiously moved closer to take a closer look.
Exclaimed: "Wow, what a pretty girl... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the back of his head. He held his head with both hands in pain and complained, "Brother Shen, what are you doing?"
Shen Tang knocked on the wooden box with the blade of his sword.
She said, "Lecher, stay away."
Zhai Le muttered, "How did I become a pervert? Can't I even praise her for her good looks? Hey, why isn't she talking? Is she feeling suffocated in the box or frightened by the guards?"
Shen Tang: “…”
It is also possible that he was frightened by the two of them.
Shen Tang squatted down, his eyes level with the girl sitting in the wooden box, and said, "It's safe here, you can come out."
The beauty in the box was indeed a beauty, she looked about eight or nine years old, with a double-ringed snake bun tied with a string of pearls, and a small, crooked golden hair crown on her head. She had a pleasing and wealthy oval face, delicate features, and round, bright eyes. But her festive temperament was dispersed by fear, and she looked very lovable.
Zhai Le crossed his arms and curled his lips: "Why is it that if I come close to you, I am considered a pervert, but if Brother Shen comes close to me and asks about my well-being, it's all right?"
I'm afraid it's "forgetting friends for the sake of beauty"!
Shen Tang said nothing, but thrust his sword at Zhai Le's feet. Zhai Le jumped back exaggeratedly, his affectionate peach blossom eyes filled with accusations against his bad friend, and shouted, "You are such a bad guy, Shen Youli!"
