Chapter 5: Bandits
White horses galloped along the mountain trails, splashing countless wet mud along the way, and the smell of grass in the distance was carried by the wind, mixed with the fragrance of unknown flowers, but among them, it seemed to be mixed with ...... The smell of animal droppings?
It was already difficult to see the sun hanging high in the sky in the woods, only a few rays of light slipped in through the gaps between the leaves, and the lush and huge green leaves seemed to cover the entire sky, as if there were a few traces of starlight in the blue of the night.

Ritley rode on his horse, thinking that if it weren't for the fact that Ricky still owed him thousands of gold coins, he would have to find an opportunity to give the white horse his hands.
Presumably, this white horse should be worth hundreds of gold coins......
The little fox sat in front of Yunlai, squinting and enjoying the baptism of the summer breeze, sniffing the familiar smell of the forest, which seemed extremely pleasant.
Of course, what makes it even more reassuring is that it is riding on a horse at the moment.
At noon, Yunlai and they came to a stream, the clear stream was very turbulent, hitting the bluestone along the way, not only playing a beautiful sound, but also blooming snow-white patterns.
Hitched the horse aside and let it bow its head to feed, but Yunlai carried the little fox to the stream.
The stream is sweet and delicious, with a few pieces of beef jerky and a bag of dried grapes, and this is lunch.
Yunlai was not in a hurry, and after eating and drinking slowly with the little fox, he lay down in the mountain pass, blowing the wind, taking advantage of the cold, and looking at the scenery in the distance.
In fact, it has been two days since I left the town, and I have been traveling for another morning today, and my destination is not far away, and when I rested in this mountain pass, I could hear the neighing of demonic beasts coming from that pass.
Demonic beasts below level 10 don't have much intelligence, and the reason why they occupy that pass should be driven by instinct, which means that there is something in that pass that they are extremely concerned about.
Whether it is a rare food, or a medicinal herb or magic weapon that contains a lot of magical power, it is unknown.
But there are good things, absolutely.
It's just that whether this good thing is naturally grown there or left by people is really debatable.
But Yun Lai was more convinced that this was done on purpose, especially at this time when war broke out, and once the vital pass was blocked, it would be a fatal thing.
If this is the case, then this time, I'm afraid the task is not just as simple as expelling the demonic beast, Yunlai also has to pay careful attention to whether there will be a powerful mage or warrior behind it.
Touching the ring on his right hand, the corners of Yun Lai's mouth raised slightly, no matter who the opponent was, with this nearly five thousand gold coins, it seemed that he didn't need to be afraid of anything.
"And, if there's anything really good, hehe......"
Thinking of this, Yun Lai couldn't help but smile evilly: "That's mine." ā
The sound of rustling sounded, and Yun Lai turned his head vigilantly, only to see a hare emerging from the grass, and after glancing at Yun Lai, he pouted his ass and ran away.
Yun Lai was stunned for a moment, then turned back and continued to stare into the distance.
"A white BMW, a rare snow fox, tsk, I really didn't expect that such a big piece of fat would fall into our hands today. ā
In the distance, in the green grass, there were a dozen guys in shabby armor lying on their stomachs.
Their faces were covered with dirt and grass, and one of the stupid young men was teased by the thin grass, dancing back and forth around his nose so many times that he almost sneezed.
Finally, this time, he couldn't stand it anymore, and when he was about to sneeze, the partner next to him quickly reached out and pressed his head down.
How much soil this young man had eaten, I am afraid only he knew.
The two people at the front seemed to hear the movement behind them, turned their heads indifferently, and then glared at them viciously.
"Be careful!"
Except for the two who were in the lead, who were demon warriors, the rest of the people were just ordinary people.
In order to survive, follow these two demon warriors and rob here.
None of them are qualified to be kings of the mountains, because on the higher mountains, the rulers are those inherently powerful demonic beasts.
They are all criminals, and they can't go back to the town, so they can only be thieves here.
In recent days, for some reason, they have not even dared to go out of their bases. Although it is said to be a base area, the base camp is actually a large earthen nest, and then surrounded by a few towering ancient trees, it can barely block the fierce beasts in the mountains, and it is a problem to shelter from the wind and rain.
The reason why they dared to go out of the mountains to rob today was because yesterday, there were three more powerful demon warriors in their soil nest.
With them, this group of bandits is simply like a tiger.
The arrival of those three demon warriors gave them the dawn, and even they felt that with these three demon warriors, they would not look down on any caravan in the future, and here, they could rob whoever they wanted, and from then on they would live a prosperous life and reach the pinnacle of life.
After a few days in that nest, it was exciting to finally be able to go out hunting today.
Not only that, but their first prey today is very fat.
Not only is it fat, but it also looks like the prey is very weak, so it must not be too troublesome.
Because their opponent this time is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and this boy is neither a demon warrior nor a magician.
It seems that the arrival of those three demon warriors really brought them good luck!
"But, just to be on the safe side, Locke, take one or two people farther away and take a look around to see if there are any others behind him. ā
This bandit leader is a very calm person, even in the face of such a fat prey, he still has no money obsession, but is very cautious.
It can also be said that this is the valuable experience gained from the long career of robbery as a bandit in the past, knowing that after such a fat prey, there are often strong guards to follow, otherwise he would not appear here alone.
If a large group of demon warriors or even magicians emerge when they rush out and are about to do it, they'll be done!
After a long time, in the restless waiting of the leader, Locke returned with a flowery face.
"Big brother, don't worry, I took my brothers to inspect for a while, and there was no one else!"
Hearing this, the bandit leader couldn't help but be excited and asked, "Are you sure?"
Locke nodded excitedly, looking hungry and thirsty, and the brothers behind them were also gearing up.
The opponent was nothing more than a seventeen or eighteen-year-old stinky boy, who was neither a magician nor a demon warrior, and he also had thin arms and legs, and they felt that they could subdue him by any person.
But for the sake of safety, the bandit leader finally decided to go together.
