A burly young man took the lead in jumping out of the grass, his expression was flamboyant, and he pointed at Xu Shuo and the three of them with a big knife in his hand.

"Don't move! Rob! The young man shouted.

With this shout, his accomplices emerged from the jungle on all sides, some with daggers, some with large clubs, and a few of them standing on the treetops with wooden bows, aiming at this side. They set up a battle and surrounded Xu Shuo and the others at once.

Xu Shuo protected Miao Zhen behind him, clenched the twin blades in his hands, and carefully looked at the enemy in front of him.

This is a group of young boys and girls in ragged clothes, although they all have something like soot on their faces to cover their faces, but there is still a childish energy in their gestures, they are all about ten to twenty years old, and the oldest seems to be the first young man. There is no doubt that these people are the mountain bandits in the mouth of the coachman.

"If you don't want to die, put your weapons down! Give half of the money out! The young man threatened.

"Half ......?"

Xu Shuo stared with bated breath, most of the little ghosts had "0" on their heads, and the few guys with negative numbers on their heads also had fear in their eyes.

Xu Shuo's hands with short blades slowly drooped, this group of imps had no hostility towards him at all, they probably just wanted some money, although they had weapons in their hands, they didn't seem to have the consciousness to use weapons, not so much a group of mountain bandits, these imps were more like a group of beggars.

Lilian also seemed to see something, and leaned into Xu Shuo's ear and whispered, "Mr. Xu Shuo, why don't we give them a little money?" ”

Xu Shuo glanced at Lilian.

"Your money, you decide."

"I have twenty gold coins in my bag, do you want to give them ten?"

"You're really giving half of it...... These guys aren't good people, so it's okay to give one or two meanings, right? ”

"Hey, what are you talking about there?! When we don't exist?! Get the money out! ”

The young man took two steps closer with his knife in dissatisfaction.

Lilian hurriedly took out two gold coins from her bag and threw them at the young man.

The young man raised his hand to grab one, and the other rolled to the ground and was picked up by a young girl.

"Yes, it's gold!" The girl clutched the gold coin and exclaimed.

The other imps present looked at the gold coin in the girl's hand, and their eyes were straight.

The young man was also a little stunned, but soon came back to his senses, put the gold coin back in his pocket, continued to hold the knife and said, "It's quite rich, we want half, how much do you have?" Take it all out! ”

"That's half the story." Xu Shuo said.

The young man did not believe.

"Less nonsense, take it all out!"

Xu Shuo smacked his tongue.

"Don't be insatiable, you shouldn't have been given a ...... Take these two gold coins, go back and wash your face, change into clean clothes, buy some pastries and go home to apologize to your parents, and be a good person. ”

The original intention was to admonish kindly, but I didn't expect that as soon as these words came out, the numbers above the heads of the little ghosts soared red.

"Do you think of us as runaway kids?" The young man's expression became hideous, "Don't be self-righteous, hurry up and get all the money out, this is the last warning, don't think I'm good at talking." ”

Xu Shuo frowned, put the longer "Visible Blade" in the double blade into the sheath, only took a "hidden blade" in his hand, and then turned to Lilian and said, "Protect Miao Zhen." ”

Lilian understood, leaned over and hugged Miao Zhen into her arms, using her body as a shield.

Xu Shuo hooked his hand at the young man.

"Come on, let me see how capable you are, you dare to be a mountain bandit with a group of imps."

The young man is also not polite, although he is not very old, he can lead a group of people out to rob and naturally have the consciousness of killing, he did not hesitate to wave the big knife in his hand and rushed towards Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, because he saw that the big knife in the young man's hand first drew a "∞" trajectory, and then a "=" starting hand.

This knife dance technique is very similar to the advanced class of the warrior in "Sword of Darkness" - the Berserker's skill [Drum Shock], in the game, if this skill hits the enemy, it will trigger the sound effect of "empty, empty". According to the skill description, it is to use people as drums, and to smash people's limbs and heads with extremely domineering force, which is a skill with high damage and control effects, and can only be used when equipped with heavy weapons such as "battle axes" and "war hammers".

But what made Xu Shuo puzzled was that the young man's knife seemed to be a little less frenzied, and there was also a little less strength, which was not quite the same as the [Drum Shock] he knew, and there was a feeling of painting a cat and a tiger.

(I can't practice at home...... And this weapon is not suitable either. ）

Xu Shuo shook his body to avoid a knife, and then saw the right time, and slashed at the young man.

The blades collided, the young man's knife was long and easy to gap, Xu Shuo's knife was short and made of Mithril, and after a flash of sparks, only a pitiful half of the knife in the young man's hand remained.

"What's ......?!"

The young man looked incredulous.

Xu Shuo chuckled lightly and just wanted to say something, but a few arrows "swished" from the tree, and he had to raise his knife again and shoot down the flying arrows. At this moment, the young man also came back to his senses, raised the knife in his hand, and wanted to stab Xu Shuo's throat with the section of the knife, but Xu Shuo's speed was much faster than him, and he directly kicked the young man in the stomach and kicked him out.

The young man took off his knife and fell to the ground holding his stomach, and he should not be able to get up for a while.

Xu Shuo thought that the leader had fallen, and this group of little ghosts should be able to stop a little, and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but who expected that these children saw the young man fall to the ground, but instead began to rush forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"You, how dare you hit Brother Junxiong!"

The imps waved their weapons and rushed up with a shout. The absurdity was that some of them closed their eyes and just rushed forward, and some of them stretched out their hands holding weapons straight and handed them over from a distance, as if Xu Shuo couldn't get close to him.

Xu Shuo didn't want to use skills to deal with these little ghosts, so he had to rely on his own reflexes, while dodging the weapons that the little ghosts waved indiscriminately, while finding the right time to knock down the weapons in their hands with the back of the knife, and kicking a few people from time to time.

After a brief whirlwind, the battle (perhaps not a battle) was over.

The little ghosts were lying on the ground on their backs, and the few who were still standing also retreated to the side with the back of their swollen hands, and several people on the trees watched dumbfounded, not daring to draw their bows again, for fear that Xu Shuo would come up to deal with them.

Xu Shuo put away the hidden blade and walked to the young man.

"How? Are you still coming? ”

The young man lay on the ground and looked up at Xu Shuo, his eyes full of unwillingness.

At this moment, the grass in the jungle shook beside him, and a figure came out of it—a small-haired boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, snorting snot.

The boy grumbled as he belted his trousers.

"I don't know if it's pooping or peeing, it's all water when it comes out, it's really uncomfortable. Boss, are you done...... Yay?! ”

Seeing the scene in front of him, and meeting Xu Shuo's gaze again, the boy was stunned for a few seconds, and chose to lean over and lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

Xu Shuo looked at the inch-headed boy, and then at the young man, and couldn't help laughing.

As if the last straw that broke the camel's back, the young man covered his face and sighed, and the fighting spirit in his eyes disappeared.

"We lost, so you can do whatever you want."

Xu Shuo shrugged, turned his head and beckoned to Lilian and Miao Zhen behind him, "Let's go." Then he walked around the young man and walked straight ahead.

The young man was a little surprised when he saw Xu Shuo leave like this, and he said to Xu Shuo's back, "Hey! Aren't you going to get your money back? ”

Xu Shuo didn't look back, and turned his thumb over his shoulder.

"Ask her."

The young man looked at Lilien, who was approaching her.

Lilian leaned down and asked softly, "Are you alright?" Mr. Xu Shuo should not be heavy-handed. ”

Feeling frustrated in his pride, the young man unhappily took out the gold coin in his arms, spread his palm and handed it to Lilian. However, Lilian did not accept it, but took two gold coins from her bag and placed them in the young man's hand.

The young man was stunned.

"You ......"

"I hope you can learn your lesson, you are the one you met today, and if it were some other dangerous person, maybe your life would be lost. Please take the money and find a decent job and send the other children home. ”

Lilian finished speaking with a serious face, and then without waiting for the young man to say anything, she trotted with Miao Zhen to follow Xu Shuo.

The young man looked at the three departing men, then at the gold coins in his hands, and slammed his fists on the floor.

"Damn......
