Chapter 25: Cruelty

The dark bamboo forest unfolded layer by layer in front, and Li Xinchen tried to slow down his pace, almost moving over little by little. For the first time, he felt the fear and pressure of this bamboo forest when it didn't belong to him.

The boundless darkness was often illuminated by the light of torches, and bands of bandits were searching the forest for signs of possible enemy visits, and on the outskirts of the city, there were many bandits hiding in the darkness and carefully observing.

No one knows how many bandits there are in this darkness, but whether it is Li Xinchen or Zheng Qing and Seinfeld who are following him, they all know very well that what is hidden in the darkness must be a net of heaven and earth, and now they are crashing headlong into this net of heaven and earth.

"Brother Chen, it's solved." Two young people came over and whispered, just now there was a bandit secret whistle that almost exposed them, fortunately, the two young people who were close to the secret whistle were quick to move, one rushed up to cover the man's mouth, and one of them cut the man's throat neatly.

At this time, the two of them finished dealing with the thief and came back to report to Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen nodded, patted them on the shoulder, and suddenly burst out of the darkness, while Zheng Qing, Song Fei and the others behind him also followed quickly, their figures swayed between the bamboo forests, and disappeared again in an instant.

"Boss, has anyone passed?" A bandit with a torch not far away rubbed his eyes and said.

A cool breeze blew on the face, making all the thieves shiver, at this time they were the most nervous, and a scream could cause a group of people to pounce directly on them, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one.

The bandit leader who led the team also looked around cautiously, but all he could see was the shadow of the trees swaying in the wind. He scolded in a low voice, reached out and patted the thief's head: "Don't be suspicious, you kid! ”

At this time, it is better to believe that there is no than to believe it, otherwise once it is empty, everyone will be nervous, and he will inevitably be accused of improper command, and this little leader is very clear. After all, he has a lot of people under him, and he doesn't have the courage to deal with him, as long as he can bring people back safely, it will be considered a victory.

After all, the darkness around here and the sound of the wind rustling bamboo always give the little boss some not very good feelings, so more is better than less.

"Let's go." Watching this group of bandits pass, Li Xinchen also exhaled lightly, now it is naturally better for him to have more than one thing, and it is naturally best for this group of bandits not to come over to search.

"This posture," Zheng Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, they came all the way, the bandits patrolling like this have already encountered at least two teams, plus the secret sentry in the dark, it can even be said that half of the bandits have been sent out, "Do you want us to attack or don't you want to?" ”

Li Xinchen shook his head: "These bandits want to lure us into the bait, but they don't want us to really rush over and fight hard, they are understandable to arrange like this, obviously they don't want to encounter red-eyed enemies." ”

Zheng Qing and Seinfeld glanced at each other and nodded. These bandits obviously want to encounter the mountain people who can attack calmly, not a group of red-eyed mountain people, if the mountain people still have a little brain, they will probably choose to retreat or hesitate when they see this formation, so as to give the outlying outposts the opportunity to find them and call the police in time, and once the villagers rush over with red eyes, this arrangement can also stop them in time.

So it's understandable that the bandits have such a strange arrangement.

"But this also shows that they are somewhat afraid," Li Xinchen said solemnly, glancing at the young people behind him, and everyone replied to him with firm and confident eyes, "Since we have come here, let's go forward and take a closer look at their bottoms!" ”

The footsteps sounded again, and it was obvious that another group of bandits was walking towards this side, and Li Xinchen and the others held their breath and moved cautiously, and their figures were gradually engulfed in darkness.

When the light of the torches once again illuminated the clearing, several of the bandits yawned and looked around, surrounded only by the shadows of bamboo leaves swaying in the wind.

"Let's go, go over there." The bandit who led the team waved his hand, and the people behind him hurriedly followed.

No one noticed the footprints on the ground not far away, which were not completely covered.

————————————————-

Two shelves had been erected in the middle of the clearing, and the two Zheng brothers who were unfortunately caught were hanging directly on the shelves, and the sound of whips beating people could be heard even from a distance. Li Xinchen gritted his teeth and stared at the clearing.

Behind him, Zheng Qing and the others had even turned back directly, after all, it was simply unbearable for them to see their companions who grew up with him being tortured like this. If it weren't for Li Xinchen and everyone who made it clear just now, I'm afraid that these guys present now would also be unable to help but rush forward.

"Look, this is the end of the miss." Li Xinchen's voice was very low and flat, but whether it was Zheng Qing or Seinfeld, they could definitely hear the deep anger in Li Xinchen's words, but he was trying his best to restrain himself.

Listening to what Li Xinchen said, everyone fell silent, if they were a little careless just now, there would be more than just two people hanging on it, and if they hadn't made a fuss tonight, I'm afraid that the whole village would have such an end tomorrow.

Of course, even now, such a shadow still hangs over everyone's hearts.

"You have to think clearly," Li Xinchen's voice was still very low, "If we continue to do this now, it won't be long before we are hanging on it." ”

Zheng Qing laughed indifferently, although his laughter looked very reluctant at this moment: "Even if we don't do this, I'm afraid we will be hung up at this time tomorrow, or even worse than this." ”

Song Fei patted him on the shoulder and looked up at Li Xinchen: "Brother Chen, take us, we have to fight for anything!" ”

The young people subconsciously glanced at each other and nodded. And Li Xinchen threw his hand at the few people present - they were the most outstanding in this night attack, and in fact, they were also the most prestigious among the younger generation.

This hand, everything is in plain sight.

At this moment, a miserable scream came from the light, and then a cold voice was heard: "How many people are there in this village, hurry up, or Lao Tzu will destroy your arm!" ”

"I didn't expect these two boys to have quite hard bones, we have already smoked more than thirty whips, even our own brothers are afraid they won't be able to stand it!" Another voice rang out, and it was loud.

Immediately caused a commotion from the surrounding bandits.

And Zheng Qing, Song Fei and the others gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, their eyes were full of murderous aura, looking at the firelight, the figures of the Zheng brothers were a little blurry, but it could be seen that both of them were drooping their heads, obviously fainting.

"Don't panic!" Li Xinchen pressed his hand.
