Chapter 16: The Four Heroes of the Maple Forest

The tall man looked about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, relatively fat, with an iron complexion, wearing dark tight-fitting clothes, carrying a cup-thick iron rod in his left hand, a white package in his right hand, a water bladder diagonally around his waist, and a large backpack like a hill on his back.

The short man was in his thirties, with sharp-beaked monkey gills and a somewhat bald head, dressed in the unique style of the Sima family, holding a shining thick-backed knife in one hand, a golden retriever in the other, a bow behind his back, and two quivers full of arrows at his waist.

This short man was the one who took the lead in mocking Wang Yue in the pavilion when he left the city.

The short man watched warily ahead, loosened the chain, stuck the knife at his waist, and put his arrow on the bow, the tip of which was pointed at the ground.

As he walked, he said, "There are many crows in this place, and there must be corpses there." ”

"The vultures don't dare to fall, it means that there are wild beasts or people near this place, and the animals that protect the food are dangerous, be careful, fourth. ”

The tall man stopped, put down his burden, reached out and pulled the water bladder on his body, and took a big sip.

He said nonchalantly: "What's so scary, who have we been afraid of in this red maple forest? Who doesn't know that we are the most anxious and righteous maple forest heroes." ”

Immediately, Da Gao raised his voice again, and said loudly: "Third brother, before it rained last night, I heard the wild beast ape screaming sharply, I don't know what I caught again, if it's a person, let's save him immediately." ”

When the short man heard this, he immediately spoke and said loudly: "Yes, if he doesn't die, let's save him immediately, we have the best ointment here." ”

Da Gao hurriedly added: "Yes, yes, but they are all Baicaotang's high-grade gold sore pills, one grain costs a full ten taels of silver, and we don't know how many people have been saved with it!"

The two of them walked as they talked, and were soon led closer by the dog, and when they saw the corpse of an ape, they were overjoyed and smiling.

The tall man slapped the short man on the back with his hand that was not holding a knife, and said happily: "Oh! Third brother, we have made a fortune, we have made a fortune!"

"There are so many wild beast golden haired gibbons, each ape brain alone is worth three or four hundred taels, how much does it cost?"

The short man looked wary, took off his bow, put down the quiver, loosened the leash, lifted the iron rod, and carefully observed the traces of the ground and the corpse of the ape.

The tall man suddenly found the corpse of the red gibbon in the distance, hurriedly ran over, threw down the iron rod, squatted on the ground, and trembled and touched the red gibbon's red hair.

He said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Oh my God! there is even a red gibbon that can at least reach the triple peak of martial arts. I'll go, this is worth thousands of taels of silver just for my brain!"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the ape's head, and suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, where is the brain? This was dug with a knife, who did this?"

After saying this, his face became a little ugly, and when he looked back and saw the nervous expression of the short man, he immediately got up and picked up the iron rod and became vigilant.

The short one glared coldly at the tall man and exchanged a look with each other.

He looked around, in the direction of the boulder, and said in a loud voice, "Friend...... Come out, we see you, don't worry! We are good people, we will not hurt you!"

With that, he whistled, summoned the golden retriever who was biting the ape's corpse, pointed to the boulder, and motioned for it to go and take a look.

The golden retriever sniffed and barked in the direction of Wang Yue.

Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, Wang Yue slowly walked out from behind the boulder and looked at them coldly.

When the short man saw Wang Yue's appearance, his heart was relieved, he put down his bow and arrows, and hurriedly asked, "Little brother, do you remember me?" We met in the pavilion outside the city, don't be afraid of the dog, the dog doesn't bite. Come back rhubarb!"

With that, another whistle stopped the golden retriever's barking.

The short man pointed to the corpses of the apes and asked, "Are you alone? How did these wild beasts and apes die?"

Wang Yue didn't speak, the strong medicinal power of the ape brain kept churning in his body, and he had to force himself to point his finger.

The tall man laughed on the side and said, "Haha, don't be funny, just like you, you don't even have a weapon, can you kill so many apes?"

The short man quietly glanced at the big tall man, and said loudly to Wang Yue: "Fourth, why are you still laughing, don't you see what the little brother has been injured?"

"Don't go quickly, hurry up and give medicine to the little brother. ”

Hearing this, the tall man took out a paper bag from his arms and strode closer to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue stood there quietly, looking at them, feeling that his physical strength had almost recovered from the ape brain.

Da Gao smiled and walked quickly in front of Wang Yue, the fierce light in front of him appeared, and he shouted: "Give you the medicinal powder!"

With that, he shook the paper bag violently, and white ash-like smoke came out of it, and the smoke flew straight towards Wang Yue.

And almost at the same time, the short man shot an arrow with a whoosh, and a cold light pointed directly at Wang Yue's throat.

Then, the big tall man stood there and didn't move, but he made the golden retriever pounce on Wang Yue.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them and a dog cooperated precisely to Wang Yue's approach.

In fact, Wang Yue had long noticed the small movements of the two, and he was already on guard as soon as the tall man came.

He dodged the arrow, then held his breath, bowed his head, and dodged the smoke area with a tiger leap.

Then, he rushed towards the big tall one.

Da Gao saw Wang Yue rushing towards him, smiling fiercely and waving the iron rod, shouting "Splitting the mountain stick method", and the round round stick with both hands was swept away, and the wind whistled.

Wang Yue stared with both eyes, saw the direction the stick came from, reached out and grabbed it, as if metal collided, his right hand firmly grasped the body of the stick, and his body moved forward, and he grabbed the chest of the tall man with one claw with his left hand.

The big tall man planned to pull out the stick from Wang Yue's hand, and then turn the stick and smash Wang Yue with the tail of the stick.

Who would have thought that Wang Yue grabbed the stick like steel cast iron and couldn't drag it at all.

The tall man had no choice but to hold the stick tightly with his left hand, and with his free right hand he swung his fist into Wang Yue's claws, and then prepared to kick Wang Yue to force him to let go of the iron rod.

It's just that Wang Yue's grasp was as fast as lightning, and he grabbed the chest of the tall man first, and suddenly took it back, bringing out the heart of the tall man, and dodging the big man's fist.

The tall man put his hands on his chest and screamed in pain: "It hurts me to death." Then he rolled over and fell to the ground, and died of despair.

The golden retriever arrived, and it screamed and jumped up viciously to bite Wang Yue's throat.

Wang Yue grabbed the dog's head with one claw, twisted it vigorously, and the dog's head was crushed and fell apart and died immediately.

All this was a matter of the blink of an eye, and before the short man could bend his bow and fire his arrows, the tall man and the hound were already dead.

The short man was frightened, and hurriedly drew an arrow, put it on the bowstring, and aimed at Wang Yue with another arrow.

This arrow had lost its courage and shot at Wang Yue softly, Wang Yue snorted coldly, easily dodged, and rushed towards the short man quickly.

The short man saw Wang Yue running towards him violently, and was so frightened that he immediately threw down his bow and arrows, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and opened his throat with a crying voice and howled: "Woo woo......"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me......"

"It's all the big and tall old man who instructed me, and it has nothing to do with me......"

Wang Yue ignored his wailing and continued to walk towards him firmly.
