Chapter 44 Encounter a bandit into a tiger's den

Fesde's forest path to Twin Peaks was as silent as ever. Every now and then a squirrel would emerge from the narrow dirt road, and he would look at Witt and the others for a moment, and then hurried into the other side of the trail when they approached. The chirping of birds resounded throughout the woods, like a requiem, and over time, people unconsciously relaxed their vigilance against their surroundings and threw themselves into the embrace of nature.

Shuangfeng Village is 34 kilometers away from Festedna, and it is indispensable to pass through forests and mountains along the way. Just when everyone came to a darkly lit dense forest path, this path was not only weaker than the periphery, but also looked eerie, if you pass by alone, you may also have a chill down your back, nervous tension, and do not make a relaxed state. It is said that robbers prefer to hide in dark and strange places, and they are very prey on passers-by, and Witt has to be more careful. But this is the only way to Shuangfeng Village, and in desperation, Witt had to remind everyone to be vigilant when passing through the forest, just in case.

A group of five people pushed the cart forward slowly, all of them holding their hands tightly on the hilt of their swords at their waists, and their eyes were fixed on the surroundings. The dark alleys are no longer heard with the crisp sound of birds, but the sound of gurgling water, like a radio single looping back and forth, endlessly, if not for the strange atmosphere, it must be a beautiful scenery.

After walking for a long time, a bright light gradually flashed in the distance, everyone knew that the exit was not far away, Witt also thought that he was too worried, and when he was relieving a little, suddenly the forest in front of and behind the team was squirming, and then more than a dozen figures rushed out of the bushes, surrounding Witt and his party, Rum and others immediately pulled out their one-handed swords at their waists, and formed a circle around the cart. Old Danny also carried a logging axe in his hand, and did not show weakness in the slightest. I was a soldier myself, so how could I make a group of robbers laugh.

Through the faint light of the sunlight through the gaps in the leaves, Witt saw clearly seventeen or eighteen strong men in front of him, all naked with their upper bodies, wearing only a thick strip. Black shorts, holding a single knife, with a fierce face, stared at Witt and his party like a hungry beast looking for its prey, making Rum and the others unconsciously sweat in their palms. This is not a bandit who has turned around as a refugee, but a genuine bandit who has been committing crimes for a long time and is obviously experienced. The razor-sharp knives in their hands alone were enough to prove Witt's instincts.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate with each other and refused to give in to each other, a middle-aged man with a deep scar carved on his face quietly walked out of the group of robbers. I saw that the strong man was wearing a fox hat, a mink coat on his shoulders, a tiger skin armor, a one-handed sword tied around his waist, and a snakeskin belt tightly tied on his plush trousers, which made the originally protruding belly more conspicuous, and the dirt attached to the appearance of the black boots covered its original bright luster.

As soon as he saw this man, Witt knew that he must have a good position among the robbers. Witt stared at the man in front of him, and saw his gaze sweeping around Witt and his party, as if he could see through every corner, which was terrifying. Then his eyes finally settled on the cart.

I saw that the strong man stretched out his hand and pointed to the cart behind Witt, and asked in a low, thick, but strangely uncomfortable voice: "I didn't think you still have a bow, tell me, what's on the cart?" The stout man was obviously referring to the oak bow behind Witt.

Forced by the large number of people on the other side, Witt did not dare to kill his brothers because of his momentary anger, and immediately replied in a low voice: "Back to the leader, there is some wheat in the car. ”

"Wheat? It's not money! There was some disappointment in the Zhuang language, and when he turned to leave, he said to his subordinates flatly: "The things are wanted, the others clean up!" ”

This sentence was said so easily, but in the ears of Witt and his party, it was like thunder in the chest, and the cells in the body were nervously mobilized. Just as the group of minions was about to make a move, Witt hurriedly shouted first, "Wait! There's still something in the car! ”

The strong man turned to laugh loudly, and only after a long time did he speak: "Is your little brother the reincarnation of a clown?" Whatever is in the car, ...... now It's all mine! The strong man deliberately paused, then raised his voice and shouted, and the robbers around him couldn't help but shudder. Witt also noticed this detail, and the strong man in front of him was by no means as honest as he looked.

"Listen to me, chief, if I don't have it, this thing will be half useless." Witt deliberately exaggerated, implying that he would be appetized.

When the strong man heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh! What is so magical? Tell me about it, and if I'm happy, I'll probably leave your life behind. ”

Seeing that the words had an effect, Witt continued to lure: "The chief does not know, there are more than ten bows and more than two hundred arrows in the chariot, all of which are of the best goods from Fested!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the group of robbers suddenly exploded and talked about it. Bows and arrows are not only powerful, but also have a long shooting distance, which is forbidden in all countries of Calradia, not to mention ten, even one, and it is not something that can be obtained if you want to. Witt's words really made the strong man stunned, and he was speechless for a long time.

Witt hurriedly continued: "With this batch of bows and arrows, the leader will definitely increase his strength and dominate this area just around the corner!" The strong man's eyes flashed brightly, as if he was moved.

"However, it is easy to get a bow, but it is difficult to learn a bow, and without a dedicated instructor, it is difficult to quickly achieve positive results. I have learned the bow since I was a child, and I have a lot of knowledge about bows and arrows, and if the leader has no objections, I am willing to give guidance to the leader's men. Witt continued to boast.

The strong man glanced at Witt with suspicion, and then said deliberately: "Since you know how to bow and arrow, then you can show your hand on the spot, if you really know the essentials of bows and arrows, how can I kill innocents indiscriminately?" Of course, if I find out that you have deceived me, I will make your life worse than death! ”

Witt immediately rolled up the oak bow on his back, pulled out a barbed arrow from the quiver on his back, signaled everyone to disperse, and aimed at a tung tree thirty meters away and quickly released an arrow, which was neat, hitting the trunk of the tree, and the arrow body with arrow feathers vibrated back and forth at a speed invisible to the naked eye, arousing a cheer from everyone.

"Your little brother really has some ability, since this is the case, and I will spare your life." The strong man said to the delighted Witt, and then shouted to the little minion: "The others clean up for Lao Tzu, and push the car back for me!" ”

When Witt heard this, he was happy for less than three seconds, and he immediately became anxious, and Rum and the others also put on a posture of fighting to the death. Witt immediately rushed and said: "Chief, these are my brothers, and one is my father, please have a large number of them, let them go, as long as you let go of my group of brothers, they will definitely go to the soup for the leader, and they will not be double-minded!" ”

When the strong man heard what Witt said, he turned to look at the hideous-looking Rum and the others, thought for a while, and then said, "Okay! For the sake of your training of my brothers, I will do as you say for the time being, but if I find out that you have any bad intentions, you will know the consequences! ”

"Rest assured, Chief! We will obey the orders of the chiefs, and we will not give up. Witra said in unison with the reluctant Rum and the others.

At this point, the two sides put aside their hostility to each other and pushed the cart together to the robber's den. As the saying goes, there is no way to go ahead, and you can enter the tiger's den in danger. Even if you are accompanied by a tiger, it will be difficult to have a peace of mind.
