Chapter 33: Encirclement and Suppression
The Iron Lion thieves carried a lot of goods, and the mountain road was extremely difficult to walk, so they traveled very slowly, and those people who were captured by them to drive the car, responsible for transporting the goods along the way, made a slight mistake, or the wheels fell into a pit in the ground, or the mountain road was too steep to overturn, or the goods fell from the car, they had to be whipped by the thieves.
Along the way, the coachmen were trembling, fearing that they had made a mistake, and they were cut into several pieces like the overturned coachman. As a result, the speed of the entire fleet is even slower.
The thieves kept urging the coachmen to move quickly, but the drivers preferred to be whipped rather than go too fast to avoid overturning and killing on the winding mountain road.
Chen Fan and the three of them tracked very easily, although the thieves would also use some small anti-tracking methods, but they were all avoided by the three of them, which made people feel that the thieves didn't care much about someone following.
After one day, Chen Fan followed the thieves far away during the day, and walked far away at dusk, and on the third day, the three of them encountered a small trouble, and the thieves entered a cave.
After scouting that there was no one outside the cave, Chen Fan and the other three came to the entrance of the cave.
The cave was pitch black, and the inside was completely invisible from the outside, and the three of them didn't expect this to happen, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while. Thinking that the thieves were walking slowly, there was enough time to think of a way, and the three of them were not in a hurry, and found a hidden place to discuss the attack plan.
Until the next morning, there was no movement in the cave, and Chen Fan was almost certain that the cave had another void and should have another exit, so everyone decided to go into the cave to investigate.
After entering the cave, the three of them walked for most of the day, there was not even a ghost in the cave, except for the footsteps of the three people, there was only the sound of breathing, Chen Fan bored with his nails and scraped the edges and corners of the wall stone, and the scraped nails crackled, so there was another sound in the cave.
The cave was wide enough for three or four carriages to run in parallel, and the road was smooth with no potholes and no big uphill or downhill slopes. The road was unusually neat, except for the dust, there was no other garbage, and the three of them also saw the traces of thieves in the dust.
In fact, it doesn't matter if there are no traces, because there is no fork in the cave at all, Chen Fan is afraid that there are hidden forks in the cave, some mechanisms or something, so he walks slowly, otherwise with the speed of the three of them, he would have already caught up with the thieves.
Finally, after a long day of walking, a glimmer of light loomed ahead, and everyone finally reached the exit.
There was no one at the exit, and the three of them came out of the cave and took a hard breath of fresh air. Chen Fan looked back at the cave behind him, such a long and deep cave, although the air was turbid, he could barely breathe, and the air was already very good.
At the exit was a vast meadow, covered with deformed grass that had been pressed by the wheels, and it had rained not long ago, and the ground was exceptionally soft and the wheel marks were deep. After there was no danger, the first thing Chen Fan did was to take off the coat on his body one by one, the weight was nothing, the key was that Chen Fan was hot enough all the way, he was already covered in stinky sweat, sticky and extremely unpleasant, and he couldn't wait to take a shower immediately.
After another whole morning, the thieves were finally about to leave the grassland, and the outline of the mountain loomed in front of them. The three of them sped up and went around in a circle, coming to the junction of the mountains and the grassland, where there was only one road leading from the grassland to the mountains, where Chen Fan had placed the location of the attack on the thieves.
According to Chen Fan's original estimate, it won't be long before the thieves will come here, but after a whole day, the thieves are late, and they set up camp outside the mountain pass.
The three of them have experienced a lot of battles, so they are very calm. At this time, Chen Fan felt that he had completely changed, becoming a killer who killed people without blinking, and when it came to the lives of people in his hands, he counted them in hundreds, but he didn't feel anything. Ordinary people are numb after killing too many people, but they don't even have this process, and directly ignore people's deaths, sometimes, Chen Fan will also tell himself that these dead people also have parents, relatives, sons and daughters, but there is still not even a trace of ripples in his heart, he secretly thinks, is he born cold-blooded?
The three of them hid on the top of a mountain not far away, discussing the details of tonight's sneak attack, as well as the contingency and escape route in case the sneak attack was unsuccessful. The idea of the three of them is very simple, as long as Chen Fan uses a few martial arts of mass destruction, there are basically a few leaders left in the thief group, as for those coachmen, Chen Fan can't control their lives at this time, anyway, whether Chen Fan or not, they will not escape death, under the hands of the Iron Lion Thieves Group, they have never heard of a living mouth.
A thin cloud in the sky made the moon seem to be covered with a veil, and the breeze blew in the mountains and forests, making a rustling sound, and the sound of insects was not as noisy as in midsummer, which sounded a lot more relaxed for Chen Fan and the others.
Just as Chen Fan was quiet in the cool mood of the late summer night, Yue Wuya on the side gently pushed his arm and was about to start moving.
The thieves set up a sentry on the top of the hill near the camp, and there were six people, and Xiao Wu sneaked over carefully. Those thieves were not much stronger than ordinary people, with Xiao Wu's strength, they successfully relied on the cover of trees to approach six people, two were on duty, and the remaining four were sleeping.
I saw Xiao Wu passing by like a gust of wind, and two blood flowers flew up on the necks of the two sentry guards, and before the corpses fell to the ground, Chen Fan and Yue Wuya also quickly followed, rushing towards the top of the mountain.
When they were still a hundred steps away from the top of the mountain, a few thieves who stayed behind the cottage finally noticed, but at this time the sky was still very hazy, and they saw a group of people rushing here, and they couldn't see who they were, and the thieves on the top of the mountain couldn't tell for a while whether the other party was an enemy or their own people.
A burly thief stood above the fence and shouted down, "What are you?"
Chen Fan, who rushed to the front, didn't think about it, and replied directly: "My own people!"
One sentence made the other party less vigilant, and the burly robber was still wondering: "Why don't you know these people in front of you?"
"It's the enemy......" The burly thief's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously screamed, but as soon as the cry was shouted, the Xuantian Ring Ruler in Chen Fan's hand was also thrown out.
The ruler made a wonderful arc in mid-air, and then pierced his belly with precision, and the sound stopped abruptly.
The rest of the thieves on the top of the hill woke up one after another, pulling their necks and shouting, "Enemy! The enemy is coming!"
Before they could finish speaking, Chen Fan had already taken the lead in rushing into the crowd, and after entering, he quickly pulled out the Xuantian Ring Ruler that was still inserted in the thief's body, and slashed forward with force.
"Click, click!" After two crisp sounds, two more thieves fell under his sword. Seeing this, the other thieves were shocked and frightened, and they raised their knives one after another and rushed towards Chen Fan.
Chen Fan snorted, waved the ring ruler horizontally, and the thunderous anger came out at will.
Before the thieves who rushed towards him could figure out what was going on, they were swept away by the aura, and for a while, screams rang out, and several thieves were cut off by Qi Qi's waist, and blood gushed out, reflecting the entire ground.
The whole venue was surprisingly quiet. Time seemed to be forbidden, and the remaining thieves were stunned, their mouths opened wide, and they even forgot to breathe, they could not have imagined that several big living people were killed in the hands of each other without a single move, and if they didn't see it with their own eyes, no one could believe this fact.
A deep sense of fear gripped everyone's hearts, and I don't know how long it was, but one of the thieves who reacted first screamed, "Demon ...... Youkai! Youkai?"
"Haha-" Chen Fan laughed on his back, the fierce battle had completely stimulated the belligerent factor in his body, looking at the few thieves in front of him who were waiting to be slaughtered like lambs, he sneered and said, "Yes, I am a monster! Don't any of you want to leave here today!" Before the words fell, he raised the Xuantian Ring Ruler again and rushed towards the remaining thieves.
