The rain has stopped.

The heavier the rain, the shorter the duration, and it was just 2 p.m., when the rain had completely stopped and the sky was gradually brightening.

On the mountain beam by the Anza River, Zhao Hai was squatting behind a large boulder, winding the crossbow on his forearm.

After the reconnaissance team assembled, it quickly arrived in the overtime of only about twenty households in the mountain basin.

The North Korean villagers in the overtime told them that the vicinity of the Anzacheon River was the nest of the "Shan*Dong*Gang", and there were many horse bandits, not to mention that all of them were good at climbing mountains and mountains, and they were extremely tough and difficult.

Zhao Hai was even more anxious when he heard this-the first team investigated all the way down and found a few witnesses, saying that they saw a hot air balloon floating in the sky, which seemed to have fallen into this mountainous area; It's just that this mountainous area is a bandit's nest, and Chu Fan just has a flower-like Aunt Yan, so if he bumps into the bandits head-on, how can it be good?

So after a short rest, the reconnaissance brigade split up along several valleys.

Not long after coming out of overtime, the third squad led by Zhao Hai was discovered by horse bandits, so a harassment battle slowly began.

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the horse bandits condescendingly attacked the third squad with stones and spears, forcing the third squad to abandon their attempt to go up the river and step by step towards the ridge on the bank of the river.

But after entering the deep mountains and dense forests, the progress of the third squad was suddenly stopped - the horse bandits are extremely good at setting all kinds of traps and camouflage!

A pile of dead branches and leaves, perhaps there is a sharpened stubble bamboo sword hidden underneath; The seemingly inconspicuous rattan is actually connected to a stone and wooden stake that is lifted high, and if you step on it, you will be smashed and splashed; There are also huge traps for catching wild beasts, with thin planks on them, and if you accidentally step on them, they will roll into the bottom of the pit a little deep......

Rao is Zhao Hai, who doesn't accept this kind of old night. There was also a lot of confusion here - only 2 hours after entering the mountain, the third team had already killed one person, and three others were injured to varying degrees; And they had only advanced for less than three miles.

Of course, they didn't fight back - with their excellent crossbows and the short guns that Liu Zhongwen sent later, the third squad bit the horse bandits who did not retreat in time several times, causing the other party to pay the price of five corpses and several wounded.

After the strings are loaded and the bolts are loaded. Zhao Hai probed and looked at the shadowy figures in the woods opposite, and his heart was anxious, he had the feeling when he was circling with the Tartars in the white mountains and black waters of Liaodong - this kind of tug-of-war between the mountains and forests requires the most caution and patience, once the heart is impatient and can't hold back, not only can you not eat hot tofu, but also is likely to give away your life, the recruit who died in the third squad was a moment of negligence, did not pay attention to the rattan on the ground, and was killed by a wooden stake.

"Whoosh!"

Just when Zhao Hai was looking. A sharp arrow broke through the air and pinned a flashing figure dozens of steps away to the ground - without looking at the thumb-thick arrow shaft, just listening to the powerful sound of breaking the sky, Zhao Hai knew that it was Hailan Pao, the savage who made a move.

The horse bandits who were nailed to the ground were not dead for a while, and the mournful wails echoed in the canyon, making people listen to them more and more terrifyingly; In a small stone ditch not far behind the bandit, a black man with thin skin and bones, who seemed to have little flesh up and down, squatted in the ditch with a gloomy face, and his cheeks twitched to show the anger and panic in his heart.

He is also one of the many bandit leaders of the "Shan*East*Gang", nicknamed "Bones". There were twenty or so minions under his command - of course, now dead and wounded. That's only about half of it.

"Bone, someone on the other side is coming up again!" With an exclamation, Bones saw that his most powerful brother was climbing up from the mountainside with his hands and feet, and before he could climb up to him, he shouted angrily, "The black pressure is overwhelming, and there are a hundred and ten people!" ”

Bones pursed their lips. His face became more and more ugly, and he muttered for a while and said, "The other party is so powerful, we can't bear all these things in front of us, how can we resist coming again...... Let's withdraw! Retreat to the Immortal Jump! …… And also. You hurry down the mountain, go to Shuiyue Valley to find Xu Xiangye, and tell him that if they don't come back, our few camps will be finished! ”

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After coming down from the thousand-year-old pine, Chu Fan was glad that the hot air balloon was hung by the ancient pine, and the three of them were spared, and at the same time looked at Yan Ruxue and Niuniu with concern - the two girls were really cold enough this time, and their purple-black lips kept trembling, and they couldn't even speak.

You have to find a place to make a fire first, or people have to freeze out of illness, Chu Fan thought so, and walked along the blue water pool with the Longquan sword for half a circle, and finally figured out where he was - it was in the canyon of a small river.

After figuring out the surrounding environment, Chu Fan took his second daughter and began to walk out - there was only a faintly visible mountain path on the edge of the blue water pool, one end winding up to the top of the waterfall, and the other end extending down the river bank.

Chu Fan chose to go downstream, and before he could take a few steps, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the mountain road, and Chu Fan couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart - it is not a good thing to meet a horse rider in this mountain!

Finding a stone protruding from the cliff, Chu Fan had just hidden the second daughter behind him, and more than a dozen horse bandits in robes roared over, surrounding the three of them at once, and the cheering and screaming suddenly echoed in the canyon.

As soon as the black-bearded horse bandit leader saw Yan Ruxue behind Chu Fan, his squinting eyes suddenly widened, and the sound of trying to swallow saliva was so loud that he couldn't even suppress the sound of wind and rain, and Chu Fan knew that it was going to be bad—if the horse bandit only robbed money, Chu Fan was not afraid at all, and he could afford to pay as much silver as he wanted; But if you want to rob the sex, then you have to fight hard!

Thinking of this, he held the Longquan sword in his hand and blocked it in front of his chest, but he heard the horse bandit leader speak in a whisper, and pointed at Yan Ruxue from time to time, even if Chu Fan couldn't understand Korean, he could guess that he mostly meant to leave Yan Ruxue and let himself go.

"Humph!" Chu Fan snorted coldly without thinking about it, and scolded, "Shameless horse bandits, how dare you covet Xue'er's beauty, really the sword in my hand is a vegetarian?" …… If a husband dies, his ears will die, how can there be a reason to rely on a woman to save his life! ……”

Before he finished speaking, the hand holding the Longquan sword was grabbed by Yan Ruxue - the little girl was so smart that she couldn't see the current situation, she was actually going to pull Chu Fan's sword and strangle it to her neck!

Chu Fan was shocked, but fortunately, he stabilized his strength in the crisis, and stopped the sword edge an inch away in front of Yan Ruxue's neck.

After pushing Yan Ruxue away, Chu Fan shouted, "Are you crazy? Why commit suicide? ”

Yan Ruxue didn't pay attention, she was pushed by Chu Fan and sat down on the stone, and shouted with a crying voice, "Brother Fan, these robbers want to insult me, how can I let them defile?" It's better to cut yourself off and keep a clean body...... Yes! Watch out! ”

Chu Fan was listening to her, and he didn't notice that the horse bandit leader had already jumped up, brandishing the ghost head knife and slashing at his head, he subconsciously raised his hand, and after a loud "bell", he finally swung the ghost head knife away.

Although Chu Fan said that his daily exercise did not stop, in terms of strength, where was the opponent of these horse bandits who licked blood with their knives - this time it shocked him with severe pain in his mouth and his arms were sore!

The horse bandit leader missed the blow, turned the horse's head again, raised the ghost head knife, and slashed at Chu Fan's head even harder!

When Chu Fan reluctantly raised the sword in his hand to meet him, there was only one thought in his mind:

It's over! (To be continued.) )
