86. Caught off guard
A group of guards from Xiaohe Village stood on the mountainside and waited patiently, because the night was dark and only ten meters in sight, so everyone gathered in one place, for fear that something would happen.
"Well, do you think there is any danger for your lordship to act in such a dark night?" said a member of the escort in a worried tone as he looked at the night with no fingers out of his hand.
"What nonsense, what kind of character is an adult, that's an immortal cultivator, how can he be in danger," the team member on the side reprimanded.
"That's it, adults aren't even afraid of demon beasts that have become spirits, how can they care about these bandits, wait here well, or I'm afraid the adults will come back soon."
Before the words fell, a figure jumped out of nowhere, startling everyone.
"Who!" asked Xiongli.
"It's me, Xu Tianqi," the visitor replied.
"The dark whistle has been solved, let's move on, we all follow a little closer, I'm going to speed up," said the leader and ran towards the mountain.
According to the news given by the winged tiger, there are only two dark posts on this Black Tiger Mountain, and now one has been solved, only the last one is left, as long as he is solved, then it will be a smooth road to reach the Black Tiger Village.
After walking another 500 meters or so, Xu Tianqi broke away from the team again, and with the reminder of the winged tiger and Xu Tianqi's sense of smell, Xu Tianqi easily found the dark sentry lying in ambush on the side.
Saying that it is a dark whistle is actually a night watchman, and those who can be sent down by the black tiger thieves to do this kind of hard work are generally newcomers or are excluded by their superiors, not to mention that they have been trained, and even some common sense of the dark whistle may not be known.
Compared with the first secret whistle, this one secret whistle is even more unbearable, at least the first one knows how to find a hidden place, and this one is actually lying in a vacant place, and what is even more outrageous is that he has actually gone to see Zhou Gong, which makes Xu Tianqi speechless.
Without saying a word, Xu Tianqi took the other party's head with a knife, turned around and left, and the dark sentry didn't understand what happened until he died, of course, this was not a good thing for him.
"Let's go!" Xu Tianqi said to everyone as he returned to the team.
The dark whistle has been extinct, and at this time, it will definitely be able to catch the other party off guard, so everyone hurriedly sped up.
Soon Xu Tianqi and his entourage came to the top of Heihu Mountain, but found that the cottage was in a mess at this time, as if it had been robbed, and more than a dozen bandits guarding the door were also lying on the ground and snoring.
"What's going on?" everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.
Originally, they were also going to make a surprise attack, quickly kill the bandits guarding the gate and then rush into the cottage and set fire everywhere, but they didn't expect that all these people were asleep, it was like clenching their fists and preparing to hit people, but they didn't expect to hit the air, which was really uncomfortable.
"Did they know we were going to sneak attack, so they set up this trap to catch us all?" one of the team members guessed uncertainly.
Everyone felt that there was such a possibility, otherwise how could the dignified black tiger thief be so unbearable.
Xu Tianqi was also a little skeptical, but after he sniffed his nose and smelled the strong aroma of wine and barbecue in the air, he immediately knew what was happening.
So he laughed and said, "God help me, although I don't know what's going on, but these bandits all seem to be drunk, and this is the time for us to do it! Everyone kill me!" Xu Tianqi suddenly shouted in a low voice, and rushed towards the gate of the black tiger thief.
Halfway through Xu Tianqi's hand, a black giant shield suddenly appeared, this giant shield is about three meters in size, oval, with a circle of mysterious patterns on the outside, it seems to be naturally formed, very heavy.
The inside of the giant shield is slightly inward, a piece of flatness, glowing with seven colors under the bright red moonlight, which looks very dreamy, reminiscent of the color of pearls.
It turned out that this giant shield was nothing else, it was a shell of the clam demon at the beginning, which was quietly processed by Xu Tianqi and used as a shield in his hand at this time.
The shell with a diameter of more than three meters was much larger than the gate of the black tiger thief, Xu Tianqi suddenly used a huge shell like a crashing machine to hit the gate, and suddenly the mountain shook, and the gate let out a burst of groans and collapsed, and several black tiger thieves who were originally standing on the gate all fell down and were buried deep on the ground.
Seeing Xu Tianqi break through the gate, Xiongli led a group of escorts to immediately rush over.
"Set fire!" shouted Xiongli.
"Yes, Captain!"
So the many members of the escort team were divided into groups of three, each holding a bundle of torches in their hands, lit them and threw them wildly around, and for a time the entire Black Tiger Village fell into a sea of flames, and almost all the houses were set on fire by the people of Xiaohe Village.
Because of the previous banquet, almost all the Black Tiger Thieves and bandits were drunk, causing no one to come out to stop them during the arson, so after a while, the Black Tiger Thieves' buildings were basically burned, and only the big and second masters of the Black Tiger Thieves did not ignite because their houses were remote.
Most of the houses of this era were made of wood and straw, and in some places supplemented by mud and stone, so they were very flammable, and now it is a hot summer, which can be described as dry and dry, and it only takes a little spark to burn all the houses, let alone intentional arson.
In just a moment, the original small fire turned into a big fire, the scorching flame ignited everything that could be burned and enveloped the entire Black Tiger Village, and the raging fire ignited the entire night sky, and the fire could still be seen even for dozens of miles.
Looking at the fire in the sky, the people in Xiaohe Village couldn't help but cheer, originally they were ready to die with Xu Tianqi's night attack on the Black Tiger Thief, after all, the Black Tiger Thief had accumulated power for a long time, and had already erected an invincible image in the hearts of everyone, and the number of enemies in this battle was ten times that of them, they really didn't believe that they could succeed.
But for the sake of the village and their families, they can only fight to the death, but they don't know how many people will return alive in the end, so all the members of the escort team who participated in this operation made a final farewell to their families, because this farewell is likely to be separated forever and never see each other.
It's just that they really didn't expect the result to be so bizarre, these members of the Black Tiger Thieves were all drunk, causing their actions to go so smoothly, and they set the Black Tiger Village on fire without a single soldier, and until now they are still in a dream.
However, although many black tiger thieves were drunk, there were also some slightly sober bandits who noticed that something was wrong, and quickly woke up their companions next to them and hurriedly ran out of the burning house, without even having time to put on their clothes.
"It's on fire, it's on fire, come out and put out the fire!" a mournful voice resounded through the night sky.
However, what greeted him was not redemption but brutal slaughter, only to hear a buzzing sound of arrows falling from the sky, directly penetrating the opponent's head and shooting on the ground, the bandit was stunned, and then fell to the ground and kicked up a cloud of dust.
"Brothers, kill me, don't let go of a bandit!" Wu Dalang shouted, and the whole person rushed towards the bandits who ran out like a giant bear, and the long knife in his hand slashed horizontally and vertically to kill the many bandits, crying wolf.
"Kill!" "Kill these damn bandits!" "Let them dare to rob our Xiaohe Village, and leave no one behind!" ......
The people of Xiaohe Village roared angrily and rushed towards the black tiger thieves who were fleeing in all directions, and suddenly a terrible scream sounded around them.
