An Xu is now hiding in a large tree on the side of the road, staring through the leaves on the path ahead.

"Are you sure he'll pass this trail?" An Xu glanced at the black scorpion beside him, why had he waited for so long, and there was no movement at all.

The road is very remote, there are almost no pedestrians, An Xu checked on the ground, and found that there were no footprints left in a short period of time, so he decided to wait here.

The black scorpion squinted his eyes and said: "There are only two roads outside the southern city, and the other is a big road, there are many passers-by and checkpoints, and that guy will probably choose this one in order to hide people's eyes!" In fact, if he really chooses the big road, you can't catch up. ”

Well, An Xu admits that the black scorpion's reasoning is reasonable, so he has to continue to wait patiently.

"Don't worry, I've calculated, he's definitely not as fast as us!" The black scorpion affirmed, he was also startled when he was in a hurry just now, in his impression, An Xu was an ordinary person, except for his popularity, there was almost nothing outstanding.

At first, the black scorpion deliberately slowed down, but he didn't expect An Xu to follow him easily, and even when the black scorpion increased his speed a lot, An Xu was still able to follow closely. What's even more exaggerated is that he is also carrying a huge shield, and looking at the thick branches being bent down, you can deduce how heavy this shield is.

Hell, when did this kid become so powerful?

"Shhhh An Xu suddenly made a silent movement, only to see a horse speeding on the road ahead, and on the back of the horse sat a middle-aged man in gray clothes, his face was too far away to see clearly, and he could only faintly see a long beard on his face.

"Is that him?" An Xu asked.

Seeing the scorpion nodded, An Xu put his hand on the short sword on his waist, to be honest, An Xu was ambushed in this place, almost betting on luck, but he didn't expect to bet right.

The man was on horseback, and it was unlikely that he would be able to follow him, so he had to choose to do it.

Gradually, the man got closer and closer, and he could already make a general view of his face, and if he looked closely enough, he could see two short daggers pinned to his waist.

"It's your fellow thieves!" An Xu whispered.

The black scorpion smiled, and at some point a dagger also slipped out of his hand, flipping it briskly in his palm, he glanced at An Xu, and said, "Do you need me to do it for you?" Friendship price, ten gold coins. ”

"You've been in the eye of money in your life!" An Xu said angrily, he had no intention of letting the black scorpion make a move, the momentum of this person on horseback was very weak, and he gave people the feeling that he should not be very powerful.

Although his expression is very calm, he will look back from time to time, and it can be seen that he is actually very nervous inside.

Of course, if all this was disguised by him, An Xu could only admit it.

With An Xu's combat power close to three stars, except for the place where the Demon Martial Arts Academy hides the dragon and crouching tiger, it is also good in Hidden Moon City, so he has some confidence in himself.

Just as the bearded man was about to pass under the tree, An Xu jumped down.

The man had been in a state of high tension, frightened by the sudden appearance of the figure overhead, but fortunately he reacted well, and a tumbling leap jumped out of the horse, half-kneeling on the weedy beside him.

An Xu's divine shield was so heavy, although the trunk was not too high, but the moment it landed, two deep footprints were left on the ground, and countless dust was raised, and this power alone made the man can't help but feel numb on his scalp.

The galloping horse lost control and still ran forward, the middle-aged man in gray did not stop it, but just stared at An Xu with a solemn face.

"What does this mean, friend?"

"Don't be nervous, it's just that I hit you off at first sight, and I want to invite you back to Hidden Moon City for a drink." An Xu didn't know whether this person had anything to do with the person who attacked the Yakumo family's ore transport team, so he could only say something tentative.

In any case, at this juncture, it is better to be wrong than to let go of the only clue.

"Hehe, my friend is really joking, I don't know you, so I'm free from drinking! Get out of the way, I have something to do! The gray-clothed middle-aged man sneered and said.

"Oh? What is the important thing, can you tell me about it? An Xu smiled, still standing in the middle of the path, blocking the path behind him.

An lifelike appearance made the gray-clothed man's heart sink, he knew very well what the consequences would be if what he did was exposed, so he decisively decided to withdraw on the same day, but he didn't expect to be stopped here.

No matter what An Xu's purpose is, it is not a good thing, and the man in gray has already made plans.

"Your Excellency is inevitably too lenient, I have nothing to say to you, I'm leaving!" He said angrily and strode forward.

"Please!" An Xu smiled faintly, squinting at him, his body was motionless, and it seemed that he would really still walk past him.

The man in gray walked forward step by step, the distance between the two was less than a meter, An Xu could even see the fine sweat on his neck, and the heavy and slow breathing sound could be heard clearly.

"Die!" At the moment when he was about to walk behind An Xu, the man in gray finally made a move.

The dagger on his waist had been held in his hand at some point, and it was stabbed at An Xu's vest fiercely, the shield warrior could be said to be the nemesis of his profession, and a sneak attack was the best choice.

Although he knew that An Xu must be on guard, he just couldn't find a better time to make a move right now.

An Xu was indeed prepared, the man in gray was originally on his left side, but he walked around to the right, because he was holding a shield in his left hand, which was not a good direction to attack.

Turning sideways steadily, he dodged the attack of the man in gray, and then An Xu pinched his wrist.

Feeling An Xu's huge grip, the gray-clothed man's face changed, and his other hand took out a short dagger again and stabbed An Xu's arm.

An Xu decisively let go of his hand, and he had to be very energetic in fighting the thieves, because you never know if their weapons were smeared with strong poison, and if you are careless, you will most likely be hit.

Unlike warriors, thieves don't go after so-called power fights, and their style is to kill with one hit.

In order to get this one-hit kill, they will assist in various means.

An Xu had seen a thief fight his opponent for half an hour before finding an opportunity to slit the throat of his enemy with a dagger, and during that half-hour, the thief kept wandering and dodging, without even causing any damage to his opponent.

It is enough to see how patient and difficult the thieves are.

So An Xu is ready to fight quickly, after some temptation, he has roughly figured out the strength of the opponent, the strength is below himself, the agility is higher than himself, and the overall strength feels similar to himself, it should be less than three stars.

Thieves are cultivated in much the same way as warriors, but their main focus is on their physical sensitivity.

When people fight thieves, they often have a headache with the thieves' nimble attacks, but An Xu is not afraid at all, not for anything else, just because he is a shield warrior.

If you had to put out a class leaderboard that thieves hate, the Shield Warrior would definitely be at the top, and it would be a headache to face an opponent with two daggers huddled behind steel.

An Xu was very aware of his advantages, and he also knew that the other party would inevitably distance himself, so when he let go, he raised his shield and rushed over.

Starting shield collision is almost one of An Xu's favorite plays, not only to block frontal attacks, but also to force the opponent to dodge, disrupting the opponent's attack rhythm and taking the initiative.

Sure enough, in the face of An Xu's iron wall, the man in gray could only choose to retreat, and before he could stand firmly, An Xu's heavy slash swung down, he gritted his teeth, and the two daggers were crossed together and raised above his head, which was able to block An Xu's attack.

An Xu was much stronger than him, and he was on the attacking side, and he suppressed the thief in a battle.

Seeing that An Xu was sticking up again, the man in gray raised his right foot and kicked hard at An Xu's abdomen, An Xu moved his shield to block in front of him, and then was kicked on the shield.

The leg kicked hard and the thief rose into the air and retreated sharply.

In the face of An Xu's strong entanglement, he had already begun to retreat, and he just wanted to get out of the battle circle with this kick.

Want to run? An Xu's eyes froze, in this kind of wild terrain, once the other party distanced himself from him, it would be difficult for An Xu to catch up with the other party.

So An Xu stepped forward and strode after him.

The man in gray snorted coldly, reached into his arms with one hand, took out a handful of powder and opened his palm, and a burst of dust and mist enveloped An Xu in it, and the range became larger and larger, and soon An Xu's eyes were in a fog.

An Xu didn't think about it, the short sword came out of his hand, and projected it at the position where the man in gray jumped back, and ordinary people were suddenly blinded by their vision, and they might lose their square inches, but An Xu knew very well that the other party was still in the air now, and it was impossible to change direction.

The sound of the short sword entering the body sounded, and at the same time a muffled snort sounded.

The gray-clothed man's blind throw hurt himself instead, because An Xu's whole person was in the dust mist, and he couldn't see An Xu's movements at all, nor did he expect a short sword to fly out of the dust mist.

Got it! An Xu was overjoyed, protecting his body and rushing out of the dust and mist, rushing towards the location where the sound came from, trying to make up for the blow to his opponent.

Well? But the moment his sight recovered, An Xu's pupils shrank!

There is no one in front of you, how is it possible? I clearly heard the sound of the other party being hit.

At this time, An Xu's heart was ringing, it was impossible for the other party to run out of his field of vision during this time, since he was not in front of him, then, it was behind him!

It is also thanks to An Xu that he has experienced too many life and death training, and almost the moment he judged the opponent's position, he suddenly bowed his body, and the next moment, a dagger stabbed against his shoulder, cutting a hole in his leather shoulder pad.

Then An Xu grabbed the arm that was over his shoulder, let out a deep sigh, and threw forward a shoulder throw, and the thief was thrown to the ground with a heavy blow.

'Bang-'

The gray-clothed man's internal organs were almost displaced, and before he could get up, An Xu raised his fist high, condensed his combat energy, and smashed his head with a punch.

It was dark, and the thief fainted.
