Chapter 35: Cannon Fodder
Sang Nan sat there, recalling his experience in the cave, and he didn't seem to have touched anything suspicious except for the blood of the strange frog and the scent of the rainbow lotus. However, Rainbow Lotus was ruled out by him first, because Mei Dongen was also beside him at the time, but his reaction was normal, so in this way, the only possible trigger was the blood of the strange frog. But what kind of creature is that strange frog?
And why do you have those bloody images in your mind?
What about that tyrannical emotion, the tearing pain?
……
Sannan's heart was full of doubts.
The point is that this strange illness came and went suddenly, without any warning, and made him feel at a loss.
Looking at the thin body, Mei Dongen suddenly felt a sense of distress, and his eyes gradually reddened. Obviously he has already taken on too much responsibility, why do you need to put another shackle on him? Among the crowd, only she understood how heavy Sang Nan's mood was at this time.
After a long time, Sang Nan finally came back to his senses, and in the face of the second daughter's concerned gaze, he couldn't help but smile, walked out of the house, took a big breath of cold air, and his mind instantly became sober.
"Now that it's happened, no matter what the outcome is, let's face it calmly!"
After many days of investigation, Li Yuanru, Zhang Huan and others have found out the situation of the horse thieves in the vicinity. Within a radius of 100 miles centered on Spindle Valley, there are a total of 4 horse thieves, but the largest is only more than 300 people. These horse thieves are not very strong, they usually hide in the village, and only gather together when they move. If you want to deal with them, you have to lure them out. As a result, Li Yuanru, Zhang Huan and others formulated a plan to "grab the fat sheep" - first the members of the dark feather disguised as single merchants went out to trade, which is the so-called "fat sheep". If the thief takes the bait, the "Fat Sheep" leads him to several fixed locations, where Scarlet Feather will rob him.
As a result, before they could make a move, the people of Dark Feather found that strange figures appeared outside the valley from time to time for a while.
Someone's watching!
"Oh, it looks like someone can't help it anymore!" Hearing this, Sang Nan smiled faintly.
"Do you know the details of the other party?"
He didn't pay attention to the person he was watching at all, even if someone wanted to fight the idea of Spindle Valley, he would send some cannon fodder to test it first, and there shouldn't be too strong a team.
"The other party belongs to three different forces, two of which are horse thieves nearby, and the other group has not yet found out the calendar, but Liu'er has brought people to follow, and he should be back soon!" Zhang Huan replied.
"Well, secretly strengthen your vigilance and ignore them for now!" Sang Nan instructed Li Yuanru, "In the past two days, you should try to go out as little as possible, and don't expose your strength for the time being!" ”
"Understood!" Li Yuanru replied.
"By the way, let Sang Yun pick some skinny young guards to go for a walk outside the valley, remember, to pretend to be weak and weak!"
Sang Nan's eyes were full of banter, and he said to Li Yuanru with a smile: "Since the other party has sent it to the door, we can't say it if we don't entertain it well!" ”
It was night, the wind was cold, the shouts were raging, but the Spindle Valley was silent and dark, and everyone had fallen asleep. Under the hazy moonlight, the soft snowflakes are blown away, like elves in the dark, dancing beautifully in the air.
Suddenly, more than 200 strange black shadows quickly approached the valley on fast horses. These black shadows were dressed in different ways, and the blades in their hands reflected the cold light, instantly breaking this beautiful picture.
"It's snowing heavily tonight, take advantage of their loose defense, let's rush straight in!"
A rugged-looking man commanded in a low voice, "Remember to kill all the guards first!" ”
"Big brother, how do I feel that this place is eerie!" A thin man looked timid.
"Zhen Chun, don't be suspicious, the three masters have already investigated, and there is nothing more than a group of criminals who have just been exiled, with dozens of guards."
The big man showed a bloodthirsty smile, "I heard that these children are quite wealthy, and there are many women, what's the matter, are you afraid?" ”
Hearing the boss's words, the black-clothed people around him couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts, and let out a lewd laugh in a low voice, with a greedy and obscene expression on their faces.
The horse thief named Zhen Chun also had his eyes lit up, and he grinned and said, "I'm a bad life, I'm afraid of him as a bird!" ”
Drink! With that, he rode his horse and followed the crowd into the valley.
Outside the valley, a thin man with a gloomy look was observing everything in the dark, watching the cannon fodder rush into the valley without knowing whether he was alive or dead, he pursed his lips and smiled contemptuously. This group of people in the valley has a mysterious origin and good strength, and the fate of the cannon fodder can be imagined. But as long as he understands the true strength of this group, he won't care about how many cannon fodder he dies.
As a veteran horse thief, he had always believed in his own vision, and from the first time he saw these people, he was deeply impressed by the strength of these guards, and they were no less than the elite of the regiment, the Ice Riding Battalion. He even had a hunch that once these people grew up, they might become the boss's henchmen.
That's why he wants to persuade the boss to take advantage of the other party's unstable foothold and eliminate it in one fell swoop, even if it costs a certain price. Otherwise, when the other party gains a firm foothold, it will not be easy to deal with.
He was a little distracted, not noticing the faint light of fire in the valley flickering a few times, and then a few muffled grunts, and in an instant it was calm again.
"Huh? After all this time, how can there not be a single sound? ”
Seeing that the cannon fodder had been in for a quarter of an hour, but there was no movement in the valley, not even screaming, the yin owl man suddenly came back to his senses.
"Something is wrong!" His heart tightened, and he immediately became vigilant, but he glanced around, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
"Could it be that something happened inside?" Somewhat confused, he rode his horse a few steps forward, his eyes fixed on the entrance to the valley, trying to find some clues. But the black entrance is like a bloody mouth at the moment, and it is about to choose people to devour, which makes him feel a chill in his heart!
"Forget it, let's go back and tell the boss first, let him make his own decision!"
The yin owl man retreated, and gently turned the horse's head to leave. But before he had gone a few steps, he suddenly felt an alarm, and saw a horse in front of him at some point, about four or five people, coming towards him without hurry.
"Oops, found out!"
The yin owl man reacted very quickly, lowered his head shortly, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and accelerated and fled. The high-quality war horse under his crotch, with amazing foot strength, is the reward given to him by the boss, and he has run out of more than 30 meters between breaths.
"It's dangerous!" He bowed down on his horse and looked back, and saw that the men had stopped where they were, and did not continue to pursue, and his body could not help relaxing, but suddenly he saw one of them with a bow and arrow, and was aiming at him, so frightened that his hair stood on end, and his liver was cold, and he turned his horse and fled.
Collapse! The bowstring trembled, and a feathered arrow came suddenly, and the yin owl man didn't have time to dodge, only to feel a pain in the back of his neck, and fell off the horse with a miserable cry. He lay on the ground, breathing a thick bloody breath, and suddenly understood one thing, for these people in the valley, his boss was probably just cannon fodder!
He struggled to open his eyes, only to find that the moon in the night sky was gradually dimming.
