Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eighteen Cave Bandits
Entering the Black Wind Ridge, the entire caravan became nervous, the reputation of the eighteen caves of the Black Wind Ridge was too loud, although it was notorious, it did not affect everyone's fear of them.
The solemn atmosphere spread in the caravan, and the shopkeeper Liu and the bookkeeper were even more cautious, not even out of the carriage, and occasionally appeared with a nervous face, which made Fang Zhong want to laugh.
Only the other two caravans seemed calmer, especially the one that Fang Zhong had been paying attention to, perhaps because there were innate masters inside, they didn't look very nervous, and calmly marched along the rugged mountain road of the Black Wind Ridge, in an orderly manner.
To everyone's expectations, there were no bandits for a whole day.
However, the more this is the more heavy it becomes, and it is like the calm before the storm, which means that there will be great danger behind.
"Little brother, it seems that it is impossible for us to walk through this Black Wind Ridge safely, you be careful, once you encounter bandits, you will follow us closely. Zhuang Jun frowned and admonished Fang Chong.
"Well, Brother Yu is right, this situation is really weird, none of the eighteen cave bandits have appeared, I'm afraid they are enduring the violent killing intent, like hungry wolves, holding back their strength and waiting to attack us. The guards beside Zhuang Jun also shook their heads and said.
The area was not peaceful, and a caravan of their size passed by without any bandits, which was not only strange, but also very dangerous.
Feeling the kindness of everyone, Fang Zhong smiled knowingly: "Then I thank you big brothers first, and I will have to rely on your big brothers to take care of you when the time comes." ”
A group of guards laughed, proud, and said with a smile: "Where is this, little brother, our brothers are not vegetarians, follow us, even if you encounter bandits, don't worry, hum, if you really want to do it, I don't know who slaughtered whom." ”
Smiling slightly, Fang Chong thanked again and again, he did not doubt the strength of these guards, the heavy cavalry alone was a terrifying weapon, and it was extremely terrifying when fighting.
As night fell, it was completely dark, and bonfires lit up in the caravan, illuminating the surroundings red.
The night is the most dangerous, and the terrain of the Black Wind Ridge is complex, the roads are rugged, and it is impossible to rush.
Therefore, the caravan can only be nervously vigilant against the invasion of bandits, as long as it survives the night, it is much better, and if you encounter bandits during the day, it is not necessarily who suffers.
"Brother Yu, do you think those bandits will come to attack tonight?" Fang Chong and Fang Zongqing sat around with Zhuang Jun.
In seven days, Fang Zongqing's injuries have also improved a lot, at least he can move freely, but his body is not heavier than Fang after all, and seven days is far from enough time to recover, it is okay to move around, but it is absolutely impossible to do it with people, otherwise once the wound is torn, it will be even more dangerous.
At this time, Fang Zongqing also looked at Zhuang Jun and asked, "Brother Zhuang, the strength of the bandits in this Black Wind Ridge is extraordinary, if they come to attack tonight....." The people who cultivate martial arts do not have so many false courtesies, although Fang Zhong and Zhuang Jun are commensurate with each other, it does not prevent Fang Zongqing from intersecting with them.
"This doesn't have to be ......" Zhuang Jun looked solemn, thought for a while, and said, "I'm not sure if the other party will come to sneak attack, but it is necessary to be prepared." ”
"If they do come, then kill them hard, let them learn some lessons, and maybe there will be a lot of trouble later. Zhuang Jun's eyes burst out with two cold rays, and killing intent emerged.
He wanted to make an example of the monkeys and deter the bandits in the eighteenth cave of the Black Wind Ridge.
"But ....." Thinking of this, Fang Chong subconsciously glanced at the few Innate Realm masters who were guarding the carriage, lowered his voice, and said, "If you want to kill those bandits and teach them a hard lesson, I'm afraid you have to take action from those few people, otherwise it won't be enough to deter these outlaws." ”
"Well, the little brother is right. Zhuang Jun nodded and said, "I have already asked in the past, but those masters did not make a clear statement, but only said that if the bandits violated them, they would naturally take action." ”
"If you invade them, you will take action?" then ....." Fang Chong's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Zhuang Jun, and smiled knowingly.
How can bandits rob and rob without infringing on those masters?
Once they rush into the middle of the caravan, those outlaws will not recognize people, and will kill whoever they see, but I am afraid that when the time comes, it will not be them who kill, but who will be killed!
"But don't take it lightly. Zhuang Jun paused suddenly, and said: "The strength of the Black Wind Ridge is extremely strong, and the reason why the eighteen caves can do evil, in addition to the large number of people, is also because each of them has a master of the innate realm. ”
"What, there is an innate realm?" Fang Zhong was taken aback.
"Yes, it is no secret that the eighteen caves all have powerhouses in the innate realm. ”
"The eighteen caves of Heifengling, each cave has at least one innate realm powerhouse, among which the Black Star Cave, the Water Dragon Cave, and the Cangshan Cave each have two innate powerhouses. ”
"This is also the reason why even the Red Tiger Army can't exterminate them, the innate strong are too strong, you can kill their men, but it's too difficult to kill them, if they escape, they will soon be able to get entangled in another vote and make a comeback. ”
The guards sitting around couldn't help frowning at the mention of the eighteen holes of the Black Wind Ridge, and sighed with emotion, the powerhouses of the innate realm were synonymous with strength to them.
Eighteen holes, each cave has an innate powerhouse, the Black Star Cave, the Water Dragon Cave, and the Cangshan Cave have two people each, which together are at least twenty-one masters of the innate realm, such a force is too terrifying, it is hard to imagine that this is a group of bandits.
Fang Zhong felt incredible, there were only three innate realms in the entire Ningcang County, but it was really strange that there were twenty-one in this Black Wind Ridge.
"It's not unusual. Zhuang Jun guessed Fang Chong's thoughts and explained: "There is a reason why so many innate powerhouses have gathered in the Black Wind Ridge, because there is chaos here, there is no royal law, and some masters who have committed monstrous crimes will choose to flee here. ”
"Naturally, there is no shortage of innate masters among these people, and over time, so many innate powerhouses have gathered, it can be said that the innate masters of the eighteen caves of the Black Wind Ridge, every hand is covered with blood, and it is an out-and-out heinous way. ”
Fang Zhong was relieved to explain it like this, after all, the three innate masters in Ningcang County were only from Ningcang County, but Heifeng Ridge was the largest bandit den within a radius of thousands of miles, and there were more than one fugitive master from two counties, and it was normal for more than twenty innate realms to appear.
Simply, the eighteen caves of the Black Wind Ridge have always been opposed, fighting each other, fighting constantly, and generally will not unite, otherwise there will really be no caravan to pass here.
Zhuang Jun was silent for a while, and said, "Actually, it's not that the Red Tiger Army can't destroy this Black Wind Ridge. ”
Fang Zhong and Fang Zongqing were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Then why?"
"There are only twenty-three congenital-level powerhouses in Heifengling, and the others are just a group of rabble, and even our heavy cavalry can't stop them, let alone the Red Tiger Army?" Zhuang Jun sighed silently: "The Red Tiger Army is like a cloud, and it is not difficult to deal with these bandits, and the reason why we have not been able to exterminate these bandits is that there are many hidden ......."
"Brother Yu, silence, this kind of thing is not nonsense. One of the guards hurriedly reminded, looking panicked.
For a while, everyone was silent, since there were secrets in it that could not be said, Fang Zhong naturally stopped asking questions and opened the topic.
Soon it was late at night, and a cool cold wind blew from among the treetops of the valley.
The people of the caravan were fully armed, and no one dared to be careless, even if they were lying asleep with their eyes closed, and they did not dare to really sleep, otherwise they would not even know how to die.
Fang Zhong and Fang Zongqing leaned together, leaning on the side of the carriage, and they also didn't dare to fall asleep.
Sneer......
Suddenly, fires burst out in the distance, and rockets flew in the air, pulling out a red line, which was extremely eye-catching at night.
"Oh no, the bandits are coming. Fang Chong woke up in an instant, pulled out his long knife with a sonorous sound, and protected Fang Zongqing in front of him.
The rockets in front of them soared into the sky, dazzling like meteors, and the piercing sound came from the front, accompanied by the rumbling of horses' hooves, very dense, obviously a large number of people.
In an instant, the caravan shook, and they didn't expect to be attacked by bandits as soon as they entered the Black Wind Ridge, which made them angry and frightened.
Actually, this is not surprising, just because this caravan is so extraordinary, there are heavy treasures in it, and before they reach the Black Wind Ridge, there are Blood Eagle Gang who come to plunder, how can this be the base camp of the bandits? It is expected that there are bandits to loot.
"The robbers are coming, the bandits are coming!"
"Be careful, everyone, the bandits are coming, all be on guard. ”
"Look, that's the bandits' signal, the rain of fiery arrows, it's a sign that they're gathering their men and horses and starting a battle......
There was an uproar in the caravan, and many people trembled with shock, there were too many people on the other side, dense black dots covered the front, and the rumbling of horses' hooves made the earth tremble with it.
Fang Zhong stood on the carriage and looked ahead, suddenly feeling a tingling in his scalp.
Clusters of firelight lit up in front of him, and under the light of the firelight, he could clearly see countless bandits rushing towards this side, there were too many of them, there were thousands of them, and from a distance it looked like red waves, and they were rapidly approaching the caravan.
"It's definitely not just a gang of bandits. Fang Chong's heart was cold, he didn't expect that the eighteen-hole bandits who had always hated him would actually join forces.
Thousands of men, all of them brave bandits, such a force has completely overtaken the caravan, and the heavy pressure makes everyone tremble, and the vests are in a cold sweat.
"Damn, what treasures are there in our caravan that deserve to be like this gang of outlaws?" Zhuang Jun roared, turned over and climbed onto his horse, and shouted, "Brothers, get on your horse and kill the enemy with me." ”
"Get on your horse and kill the enemy!"
The heavily armored guards all mounted their horses, their spears erected, and rushed out like an army of steel.
However, they were not calm in their hearts, they could be said to be very depressed, and they muttered in a low voice: "These bandits are crazy, and they have dispatched so many people." ”
"Damn, this business is not cost-effective, I don't know who is so lacking in virtue and concealing the real goods, isn't this a joke with the lives of our brothers?"
"Raised by a son of a bitch, if you let Lao Tzu know who harmed him, Lao Tzu must dismantle him. ”
