Chapter 3 Black Shops in the Mud District
readx;
After hearing the words "Life Weapon", Avi, who was sitting in the distance, immediately became highly concentrated, and Fan, like Avi, pricked up his ears to inquire. www.biquge.info But the two people seemed to be suddenly a little vigilant, and immediately lowered the volume to the minimum, only whispering next to each other's ears.
"A bandit leader also has a life weapon, do you think this is possible?" Fan asked.
Avi said: "I think it must be a rumor, if a bandit can master the weapon of life, then the mercenaries of the widow mercenary group don't have to work so hard." ”
When sleeping in the basement at night, Coral and Stitch slept in one room, while Avi and Van slept in another. The caravan also slept next door, but the mercenaries guarding them didn't seem to rest here, so there were only a dozen of them now.
When Avi was falling asleep in a daze, the big-nosed fan suddenly pushed Avi who was lying on the bed with his hand, "Shhh
Avi immediately woke up, and the safety of Coral and Stitch immediately became his biggest concern. He slowly moved to the door of the room with Big Nose Fan and pressed his ear to the wooden door, wanting to listen to the movement in the basement hallway.
Sure enough, there were footsteps of people walking outside, and there was more than one, about a dozen people were walking in the hallway. The other party's movements are also very light, and it looks like they are doing things that are not visible.
"Could it be a bandit?!" Avi whispered to Fan.
Fan didn't answer immediately, he slowly walked to a wall, and then pulled out a brick from that wall with his hand! He looked through the brick to the next room, where several merchants lived in the room connected to them, but Fan couldn't see anything on the other side of the room in the dark light.
However, the darkness was quickly broken, and the door to the next room was slowly pushed open, and several men with torches and scimitars entered, and several others with a piece of cloth in their hands. The men who took the cloth quickly rushed to the side of the merchant's bed, and covered the merchants who had no time to shout with the cloth. After a few seconds, the merchants stopped struggling, and the cloth looked drugged.
Avi squeezed over and looked at the room together. The stunned merchants were immediately carried away by the robbers, and the bandit-like fellows also took away the merchant packages that had been placed on the ground.
"Oops! this is really a black shop!" Big-Nosed Fan whispered to Avi, who had already regretted not to, he didn't expect to run into the bad guy just after entering the Zeth area.
"If you rush out and fight these bandits head-on, do you have the confidence to take them all out with me?" Avi replied in a low voice.
Fan slowly shoved the brick back into the crack in the wall, then leaned back to the door, locked the door before saying to Avi: "You're crazy! I'm not sure, the bandits here must be prepared, even if we count the coral, there are only three of them, who knows if there will be three hundred bandits with big knives on the ground!"
Avi frowned, he couldn't see the face of the big nose in the darkness, but the other party must be the same as himself now, his face was full of chagrin, chagrin for his own powerlessness.
"We didn't bring any valuables with us, and if we're lucky, maybe they'll just rob the merchants instead of us..."
Fan's words made Avi have an idea, and he immediately took Fan's hand and walked to the corner of the room. "There are two big bags here, why don't we hide inside, maybe they won't notice us!"
"What about Coral and Stitch?"
Avi thought for a moment and then said, "If there are really a lot of bandits out there, then we will only be killed for nothing if we rush out now, but if we are lucky, they may not find us, and then we will find a way!" Avi immediately made a decision, and Fan couldn't think of a better or safer way for a while. So the two of them planned to get into the two sacks separately, but Avi looked at the size of the sack, and he suddenly asked to squeeze into the same sack as Fan, and then put the ejection iron gun and the quenching knight sword in the other sack. Avi put another sack in front of them before stuffing herself into the sack
"Why are the two of us huddled together!" Although the sack was large enough to hold two teenagers, the two had to hug each other face to face to make it look less suspicious from the outside.
"That way, even if we are discovered, we can make the same decision at the same time! Fighting them is a last resort!" replied Avi as he pulled the dagger from his waist and put it back down, whispering. Now the two of them could only pray that the bandits were coming for the merchants.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the sound of the door lock being broken, and three thieves also walked in from the corridor.
"Why isn't there anyone here?"
"Listen to Digby, only that caravan has something of value, I guess it's the two travelers in the next room, you look at those two sacks, it looks like those people's luggage. ”
"Let me see what's good, hehe," a thief walked over slowly, reached out and opened the first sack, and Avi and Fan's weapons were immediately spotted by him.
"It's a good thing!
"Then look at what's in the rest of the bag, and if it's good, take it with you!"
Avi and Fan were nervously hugging each other, not daring to move, if they were really discovered by these bandits, they had to immediately rush out of the sack and fight with them.
But just as the thief was about to bend down to open the sack, a shout suddenly came from the hallway! Avi and Van immediately heard Stitch's voice, but after just a call, Stitch's voice disappeared.
A thief shouted to Avi's accomplices in the room in the hallway, "Come over here, there's a great guy! There's a weird kid! That kid is already stunned! Come and help catch the other!"
The bandit who was just about to open the sack immediately picked up Avi and Fan's weapons and walked out quickly, "I'll leave the rest to you, I'll bring the loot back to the leader first!" He took the Quenching Knight Sword and the Catapult Iron Spear and ran away, while the other two bandits didn't care so much, and ran directly to the next door to flank the coral together.
"What are we going to do?!, are we going to rush out?" asked Fan again.
"We don't even have weapons now, and it's even more stupid to rush out than to die, so let's wait a little longer. ”
When the fighting outside had subsided, the bandits slowly left the basement with their wounded companions on their backs. It is estimated that Coral killed and injured a lot of bandits, so those bandits didn't pay attention to the hemp bag in the corner.
After about ten minutes, there was no movement outside, and Avi and Fan slowly stepped out of their sacks. Unexpectedly, the local named Digby walked in at this time, humming a little song in his mouth!
Avi immediately pulled out the two-color blade dagger from his waist and put it on Digby's neck, "Don't make a noise, or I'll kill you!"
Digby didn't expect that there were still people in the basement, he was already scared into a cold sweat when he saw people, and now his whole body was stiff, he couldn't even close his mouth, and he was trembling all over.
"We ask you questions, you can only nod or shake your head, and if you dare to speak, we will kill you immediately!" Avi could already see that the other party was as cowardly as a mouse, and now he had to intimidate him, "Are you in league with the bandits?"
Digby shook his head, then nodded.
"Are they gone now?!"
Digby nodded vigorously. Big-nosed Fan immediately stuck his head out of the room and slowly walked to the hallway in the basement, then went to the next room to take a look. Coral and Stitch were gone, and there were blood stains and arrows on the ground, so it was estimated that Coral must have fought fiercely with those bandits just now. No one in the other rooms was already visible, and the caravans' goods had been stolen.
After Fan came back and told Avi about the situation, Avi continued to ask, "Was my partner killed!?"
Digby immediately shook his head violently, almost being scratched by the dagger around his neck. The stone in Avi's heart was put down, and he blamed himself for not fulfilling his and Fan's responsibilities as guards, and he also blamed himself for being so vigilant. But in the face of the situation just now, they could only choose to hide.
"And where did they go?" Avi looked at Digby, who was speechless, his eyes just kept rolling before he remembered that his question could not be answered with a nod or a shake. "You can talk, but don't shout. ”
The dagger moved a little away from Digby's neck, and he loosened his tense shoulders and whispered, "They were all caught in the cottage, and they were probably sold as goods to human traffickers, but they are certainly not dead now..."
Of course, Avi and Van knew that the other was saying such things just to save their lives, but if what Digby said was true, then Coral and Stitch might still be saved.
"Took us up the hill. Avi brought the dagger closer to Digby's neck again.
