Theoretically, Robber No. 1 was right, but he ignored the actual situation.

This is not a primeval forest like Shennongjia, it is not so much a mountain, but just a tall hill, and the trees are mostly artificially cultivated fast-growing forests, mostly half-sized trees with arm thickness, and even thigh-thick ones are rare.

They are all strong men of one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, where are they going to find a big tree that can support their weight for a while?

The speed of those dark green points of light was very fast, and the rustling sound from the collision bushes continued to sound all around, and it became louder and louder, and the three robbers didn't care much at the moment, so they casually found the largest tree in their line of sight and began to climb up in a hurry.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! Give me a hand! ”

The other two robbers were okay to say, the hands of the No. 2 robber were still handcuffed by Wu Ansu, and his balance was affected when he walked, not to mention the technical work of climbing a tree, he slipped down from the trunk after several attempts in a row, and his palms were scraped bloody from the rough bark, so he had to run to the No. 1 robber's tree and scream for help.

Robber No. 1 subconsciously wanted to drag Robber No. 2, but his hand suddenly retracted as soon as he stretched out halfway.

It's not that he doesn't want to save his brother, but the tree under him is only a little thicker than his arm, and it is barely enough to bear the weight of his alone, if he adds another person, it will definitely break off from the middle, and then not only can he not save people, but he will have to ride himself.

Despite the extreme pain in his heart, Robber No. 1 had no choice but to give up saving people.

Robber No. 2's heart was completely dominated by fear at this moment, and he couldn't calmly think about the reason why his eldest brother didn't save him, and his expectation turned to despair, despair turned to anger, and he stood under the tree and cursed, and then he was knocked down by a gray dark shadow that flashed with faint green lights, and was dragged into the endless darkness around him screaming.

The light of the mobile phone was so faint that it was impossible to see anything from two meters away, and the two robbers were trapped in a tree three or four meters high, and they did not know how many wild wolves were surrounded below, and they could only hear a chilling roar and the shrill grinding sound of claws scratching the trunk around them.

Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they had escaped for the time being, suddenly a strange clicking sound sounded under the tree where they were hiding.

"Big brother! What to do? The wolves seem to be gnawing on the trees! The third child in the tree not far away suddenly screamed in horror.

What the? How is this possible?

Robber No. 1 had only heard of wild boars that would gnaw trees, but he had never heard of wolves doing the same.

He broke off a dead branch from the tree, lit it with a lighter and threw it down, and by the faint light of the fire, Robber No. 1 saw the sensational and terrible scene under the tree.

These wolves are really gnawing trees!

"Third child, call the police!"

"What? Big brother, we finally escaped from the police search, and now we have to throw ourselves into the net? ”

If it weren't for the normal tone of the No. 1 robber, the No. 3 robber would almost suspect that the eldest brother was frightened by the wolves and talking nonsense.

"Don't talk nonsense! If you want to hit you, you will fight! ”

Robber No. 1 was also reluctant to make such a decision, but the trees he had no choice but to hide in were too thin for the wolves to take turns to gnaw at them, and although he was caught by the police, he would inevitably be shot in prison, but it was better than being killed by a wolf's kiss.

A few seconds later, the crying voice of Robber No. 3 came from the tree next door: "Big brother, no, my mobile phone has no signal!" ”

Robber No. 1 was shocked, and hurriedly looked down to check his mobile phone, and sure enough, as the third child said, there was not a single grid on the icon representing the signal, and there was no response to any three-digit distress call.

Is it because he has done too much evil that God is going to kill his three brothers?

Robber No. 1 has never believed in fate, but at this moment, he suddenly began to wonder if there was really a so-called fate in the dark.

Suddenly, a little light suddenly lit up in the endless darkness ahead.

Unlike the dark green of the wolf's eyes, this light emits a warm orange-yellow light, and it looks like someone has struck a match in the woods.

After a few moments, the light grew brighter and louder, and the two robbers in the tree saw that it was actually a burning torch.

Someone?

How could a person suddenly pop up in such a place at such a time?

Although there were countless questions in their hearts, the appearance of this torch made the two robbers in the tree rekindle a glimmer of hope again, and kept shouting for help in the direction of the torch, and used the help function on the mobile phone to send a flashing SOS light signal, for fear that the other party would not be able to find their location.

The torches in the distance stopped, turned in a different direction, and began to walk gradually towards them, apparently hearing their cries for help.

"Big brother! Someone! We are saved! Robber No. 3 was so excited that he couldn't stop crying.

"That's not right...... Doesn't seem right! ”

Robber No. 1 was also excited for a while, but suddenly noticed something unusual about the fire.

Judging by the height and speed of the torches, it is clear that someone is holding it, but if this is the case, why are these wild wolves under the tree so indifferent? Isn't it easier for a living person on a mountain road to prey on them than a tree for them?

But Robber No. 1 soon didn't have to rack his brains to guess, because as the light approached, he could already see the man behind the torch.

It was actually the young boy who kidnapped the second child before, and then escaped in the dark.

However, at the same time as he saw the identity of the other party, there was also an eye-popping scene - the wild wolves gathered around the tree and attacked the young boy with torches, but gathered at him one after another, and crawled at his feet one after another.

The gesture of respectful obedience was as if the young boy was their supreme wolf king.

I'll go! What's going on? Could it be that this boy is the kind of "wolf child" raised by wolves in folklore?

"Yo! The two of you, meet again! Hey, why does it seem like there's one missing? Playing peek-a-boo? ”

Li Mengnan stuck the torch in a tree hole next to him, lit a cigarette and squatted next to a gray wolf more than half a person tall, fiddling with the fluffy long hair on the wolf's neck, while looking up and grinning and saying cool words.

"Boy! It's you! You...... Did you bring us here on purpose? Robber No. 3 angrily raised his gun and pointed it at Li Mengnan under the tree.

"Hey, you didn't even think about it before you spoke? What did I bring you here? You drove the car, you chose the road, what did I do besides talking to you along the way? You're stuck here now, and you have a half-dime relationship with me, huh? Li Mengnan yawned disappreciably.

Robber No. 3 was speechless for a while, indeed, Li Mengnan had been following them from beginning to end, and most of what he said along the way was some boring gossip on current affairs, and he had not interfered directly or indirectly with their route at all, and it was indeed unreasonable to say that it was to bring them here.

"But at least these wolves have something to do with you, right?" Robber No. 3 fought back very weakly.

Li Mengnan got up and patted his trouser pocket, and said with a smile: "I'm just a poor sling, I can't even afford a pet dog, how can I raise so many big guys?" You have to speak responsibly......"

"You didn't raise them, why didn't they attack you?"

"Who knows? Maybe I'm handsome, right? Li Mengnanyun smiled lightly, pointed to his chest and said: "People look at people by their faces, but animals look at people by their hearts......"

"Okay, third child, now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and it's useless to say these nonsense words." Robber No. 1 took off the black backpack containing gold jewelry from his shoulder, threw it far away at Li Mengnan's feet, and said: "This brother, we have confessed, all this gold is given to you, I only hope that you can raise your noble hand and let us go, from now on the well water will not interfere with the river water, even if we are caught by the strip in the future, we will never give the whereabouts of this gold...... What do you think? ”

This robber is also a decisive person, and he will give up the gold ornaments worth hundreds of thousands without any hesitation at all.

Li Mengnan bent down and picked up the backpack under his feet, threw it on his shoulder without looking, and said with his fingers: "I heard your second brother say just now that you also committed a murder to escape here, I think, for people like you, the reward given by the police should also be more than 100,000 yuan, right?" ”

"You...... What do you mean? Robber No. 1's heart sank.

Li Mengnan didn't answer him, but continued to say to himself: "If I kill you, I can not only ensure that you will not reveal the secret of this gold, but also take your corpse to receive the reward...... How can this be the best deal? ”

Bang!

A ball of fire erupted from the muzzle of the No. 3 robber on the tree, and Li Mengnan, who was talking eloquently, clutched his chest and shouted, "Ah, I'm dead," and then fell in response.

"! Stinky boy, do you want Lao Tzu's life to exchange for reward? Lao Tzu will kill you first! ”

Robber No. 3 cursed and pulled out the spare ammo pack from his waist and began to reload.

Looking at the unrecognizable corpse in the firelight, the more Robber No. 1 thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong - how could anyone be shot and speak so calmly?

This is not an anti-Japanese drama, the protagonist was swept by a heavy machine gun for more than a dozen shots, and he could still finish all the lines in one breath without changing his face, and finally scolded "I x you x little devil", and then rushed into the opponent's large army to pull the glorious bullet, and dragged a dozen or so unlucky eggs on the back of his death.

But he could see clearly just now, the iron sand from the third gunpowder gun was almost not wasted on this kid, and at such a close distance, even a wild boar with a rough scalp and thick flesh would definitely not survive.

But why do you always feel that this kid may get back on his feet when he will get back on his feet? Could it be that I am too careful?

The more he was afraid of something, the more he came, and this strange thought just flashed through the mind of Robber No. 1, and suddenly, the "corpse" under the tree stood up at once, wiped a handful of dirty blood from his face, and scolded: "Your mother didn't teach you manners? At least let me ......."

Bang!

Another fire with gunpowder smoke, and the "corpse" fell again.

"Boss, this kid is too hard, he didn't kill ...... with one shot"

Before the No. 3 robber could finish speaking, his eyes instantly widened again - Li Mengnan, who should have died on the ground, actually stood up again.

"You're x x, let Lao Tzu ......"

Bang!

Looking at the lifeless "corpse" under the tree, the two robbers looked at each other, and an inexplicable chill surged into their hearts at the same time.

This kid ...... It's too evil!

Unfortunately, they don't realize that this is just the beginning of their nightmare.

"You're x x, let Lao Tzu ......"

Bang!

"You x x x, let Lao Tzu ......"

Bang!

"You x x x, let Lao Tzu ...... the words"

Bang!

"You x x x, let Lao Tzu say ......"

Bang!

The dull sound of gunfire rang out rhythmically in the silent woods, and Li Mengnan, who should have been dead a long time ago, "tricked the corpse" from the ground again and again.

At first, the two robbers were still extremely frightened, and then their nerves were almost numb by this infinite resurrection performance, and they just numbly repeated the action of loading and shooting, and as for whether the other party stood up or not, it was no longer so important to them.

No matter how much ammunition there is, there will eventually be a time when it runs out, and the six spare iron sand are gone, and the gunpowder gun in the hands of Robber No. 3 is completely reduced to a burning stick.

Although the "corpse" was still lying quietly under the tree at the moment, the two robbers on the tree had no doubt that after a moment, the other party would get up from the ground again while scolding.

"Big brother, do you think we're dead?" Robber No. 3 threw away the empty powder gun in his hand, looking extremely depressed.

"Why do you say that?" Robber No. 1 couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that he was not the only one who had thought about this problem.

"I used to read a story about a few people who went out to play together, and when it rained heavily on the road, they went to an empty house on the side of the road to take shelter from the rain, but they were killed one by one by some unknown force.

Strangely, every time they are all dead, they will return to the moment when they encountered the rainstorm again, and then start the death journey again.

It wasn't until later that they realized that they had actually lost control of their car and slid down the hill and died at the moment of the rainstorm, but it happened so suddenly that they didn't realize that they were dead, so they were trapped near the place of death and couldn't leave.

Big brother, I think our current situation is quite similar to the story. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, aren't we alive and well, gasping for breath and having a heartbeat, will the dead be like this?"

Although the more he thought about it, the more likely it became, Robber No. 1 still didn't want to think about it.

"Big brother, don't comfort me, in fact, you have already found out, right? If we really didn't die, how could that kid get shot and get up again and again? ”

While speaking, the No. 3 robber got up and stood on the tree branch, and the No. 1 robber couldn't help but exclaim: "Third brother, what are you going to do?" ”

"Big brother, I can't stand it anymore...... If we're dead, I'll start anew as soon as I jump down, and if we're still alive, then just let me die. ”

With that, Robber No. 3 jumped down, and the wolves below who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up and dragged him into the darkness.

Just when Robber No. 1 was grief-stricken, he suddenly heard a lazy voice in his ears.

"Jump, you're jumping! Didn't Asakura jump? Donta jumped off too, now it's your turn...... Look at what a blue sky, just take a step forward and you will melt into the blue sky......" (Note 1)

Robber No. 1 was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw a bloodstained face, almost face-to-face with a mouthful of white teeth baring at him, smiling sadly, and then fell under the tree with a scream of fright, and was immediately drowned in the swarming wolves.

The torch flickered a few times, and eerily extinguished out of thin air, and it fell into darkness and was silent.

……

"Alas, life, it's really lonely like snow......"

Squatting in front of a green corn field and roasting a few corns on a fire, Li Mengnan couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a sigh.

Not far behind him, on the side of the country dirt road, a white van was quietly parked, and the three robbers were slumped into their seats, breathing evenly and steadily, as if they were asleep.

That's right, there was nothing to go up the mountain at all, and there were no wolves, and these three robbers were actually completely pulled into a hallucination by Li Mengnan from the moment they evaded inspection and drove down the road.

Of course, he didn't deliberately delay the use of illusion until now, and the seemingly easy process of controlling zhì was actually not so easy.

We have said before that illusion is essentially hypnosis, and hypnosis is divided into two types: conscious hypnosis and subconscious hypnosis.

Apparent consciousness hypnosis is to make people hallucinate in a waking state, but because the strength of the mental barrier of the human brain and the ability to recognize are extremely high in the waking state, most of the illusions used can only be simple small illusions, and cannot create large-scale illusions.

If the three were unarmed ordinary people, it would be enough to just use surface consciousness hypnosis, but these three people are indeed thugs with human lives on their hands.

This kind of person has extremely high willpower, and a strong mental barrier will greatly weaken the effect of apparent consciousness hypnosis, and may even forcibly break free.

Coupled with the unstable dìng factor that one of them had a homemade musket in his hand, a single mistake was likely to lead to a total loss.

Li Mengnan is just a trickster, not a magician, and if he wants to control the situation completely without injury, he can only pull these three people into a subconscious hypnosis state.

But this is not a stage show after all, and the hostile relationship between the two sides dooms the three robbers not only to not believe any of his words, but also to be extremely wary of him all the time, which is almost contrary to the conditions of subconscious hypnosis.

If it was before, in the face of this unfavorable situation, Li Mengnan would hardly have a second way to choose except to fight hard...... As for the final result, it depends on whether God gives a good face.

But now there is this "Thunder Quenching Wood Crystal" ring...... Well, for the sake of convenience, let's call it the "Thunder Crystal Ring".

With this "Thunder Crystal Ring", you don't have to spend so much time at all.

(Note 1) is a classic line from the classic movie "Manhunt" in the 70s, and it is estimated that few people know it now.
