It turned out that there was really a fox demon!

And that Zhou Shize actually killed two fox demons?!

Could it be ...... He really has the protection of the so-called mountain god?!

It was so shocking that he froze in place for a moment, not knowing how to react.

"Heh, are you scared?" The ugly fox demon glanced at him and sneered mockingly.

"I heard that Zhou Shize had the protection of the so-called mountain god, maybe he killed your relatives at that time because of the help of the mountain god, and now you are the only one, how can you beat him?"

The bandit leader was obviously already panicking, after all, it involved the so-called ghosts and gods, how could he, a mortal, still remain calm at this time.

"If the mountain god really makes a move, then I'm afraid we won't be able to last long, it's better to take advantage of those officers and soldiers before they come up the mountain, escape with their things earlier, stay away from here, and maybe save their lives!"

"You can't run at all!" The fox demon shook his head, "Even before you were talking to me, the dog official's men had already surrounded the bottom of the mountain. Besides, do you think that you have plundered the caravans that come and go here, and he will still let you go? ”

"This ...... How good is that! ”

"You don't have to panic, I have a way to deal with that dog officer!" The fox demon turned around and walked to the window, closed his eyes as if sensing something, and then continued, "I have been cultivating here for many years, and I know that there is no mountain god here at all, but it is just a monster with a higher level of cultivation. ”

"Although I don't know why that monster wants to help a human race, I guess that the monster must not be well-intentioned, and is willing to be driven by others, it must be that mortal who paid a certain price, and even let the monster devour the people under his rule in exchange for support!"

"And this time, in the eyes of the county order, it should just be you mountain bandits who are making trouble, and the people he brings are enough to take you down, so he won't deliberately spend the price to ask the monster for help. And if it's just those mortals, I can stop them and drive them away by casting a spell this time. ”

"But even if they are driven away this time, what if Zhou Shize guesses that there are monsters doing something from it, and asks the mountain god to help?" The bandit leader was still a little uneasy.

"Then you don't have to worry about that." The fox demon seemed to have expected this, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "I have something for you to help me, as long as I succeed, my cultivation will be greatly increased, and when the time comes, I will definitely be able to win against that monster!" ”

"Maybe they didn't even have to make a move on my face, and the other party ran away with his tail between his legs, and I don't believe that the youkai would dare to make an enemy of me for a little sacrifice. And at that time, you will seize the opportunity to solve the county order as soon as possible, so as to prevent future troubles! ”

"I have already released a bounty task on the rivers and lakes, I think it will not be long before an outlaw will come to take over the task, as long as you can really make that county order without the protection of the mountain god, then this son will definitely die!"

The leader of the bandits confidently patted his chest and said, then hesitated again and asked, "I just don't know what you want me to do?" ”

"It's not difficult, but you need to be very careful......" The fox demon let out a sharp and ugly laugh, lowered his voice a little, and said slowly.

And just when the conspiracy was being planned in the cottage, at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Shize had already come here with his manpower, and arranged for people to lay ambushes at the exits of various mountain roads, so as to prevent those bandits from escaping from taking advantage of the chaos.

When the carriage stopped, he lifted the curtain and got out of the car, looking up at the lush mountains and forests.

At this moment, the weather is just right, the sky is cloudless, and the clear sunlight illuminates the entire mountain forest at a glance, which is also very suitable for their encirclement and suppression operations.

If you wait until the dead of night, when darkness covers the earth and it is more difficult to travel between trees, this mountain forest is more difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to see whether there are any traps under your feet, in general, it is better to be sooner rather than later.

However, after calming down and thinking carefully, Zhou Shize still decided to be safe, and this time he did not want to take down the other party at one time, but to test the strength of those bandits.

If you can win it all at once, it's naturally best, but if you can't, you must also ensure that there are no casualties on your side.

"My lord, now that everyone is ready, it's almost time to do it!" The master reminded on the side.

"It's good!" Zhou Shize nodded slightly, and beckoned a middle-aged man dressed as a servant next to him.

"Uncle Lou, your family has been hunting for generations, and you should be most familiar with this kind of mountain terrain, please bring someone to enter the investigation first, and our large army will follow!"

As soon as he said this, he heard the man persuade him a little nervously: "Lord Zhou, you are the messenger of the mountain god, how can you take risks here, just catch those thieves and hand them over to us!" What's more, my lord, you are a scholar, and my old Lou is a tiger who can fight, can these guys be more ferocious than tigers? ”

Zhou Shize disagreed: "Since all the soldiers are fighting for Qingyang City in front, how can I, as a county commander, sit in peace?" ”

After repeated persuasion from everyone, he took a step back and sighed lightly: "I can not go up, but please be careful." ”

"Don't worry, sir!"

After such an explanation, the operation to suppress the bandits finally began in earnest.

At first, it was quite smooth, and the soldiers were outflanked in two ways, with more than 20 people on each road, intending to attack one front and back.

However, when we were halfway up the mountain, before anyone saw it, suddenly the wind and clouds suddenly changed, the sky became gloomy, and the clouds were thick, and there was a deafening thunder and lightning roar, as if there was a downpour coming soon, so that everyone in the mountains and forests could not help but be afraid in their hearts.

The mountain road on a rainy day is the hardest to walk. The road is muddy, and if one accidentally encounters a muddy landslide, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save my life.

"It's going to rain heavily?!"

That Uncle Lou was the leader this time, and he couldn't help frowning secretly when he looked at the extremely bad sky.

When it was still cloudless at the foot of the mountain, how could it change the sky when you went up the mountain?

"Is it hard to retreat here?"

He dismissed the idea when he thought about it.

If you continue to rush up and fight quickly, you may be able to hide from the rain in that stockade, but if you go back now, you will be drenched in soup and chicken, and you will not have the face to see the adult.

Thinking of this, he beckoned, signaling everyone behind him to speed up their pace, braving the impending heavy rain to continue on their way.

It's just strange that as they continue to move forward, the torrential rain in the sky does not fall for a long time, as if it is dry thunder and no rain, and even seems to gradually dissipate when they find that they cannot stop their steps, which is quite strange and makes people feel a little strange.

But before they could think about it, another strange thing appeared in the forest in front of them.

It's foggy!
