Chapter Twenty-Four
"I'm staying at home for the next few days and not going anywhere."
Sending away several martial artists who wanted to let him join the gang, Chen Xuan made up his mind to quietly retreat at home to brush up on his proficiency before the order in the city stabilized.
He sealed the gate of the house, hollowed out the ground beneath the wall, and began to lay traps.
If he fights head-to-head, even if he is surrounded by more than a dozen people, he is not afraid, but if he uses some indiscriminate methods, such as releasing smoke, poisonous mist, and cold arrows while he is asleep, then he will also be hit.
He couldn't go all day without sleeping.
Warriors are also human beings, and they are not beyond flesh and blood.
Therefore, Chen Xuan dug a trap under the courtyard wall, if anyone dared to climb over the wall to come in without long eyes, he would definitely fall into the trap he had arranged, and under the trap was a trap specially used to catch fierce beasts.
Even if a martial artist who has completed the whole body grinding skin steps on the beast trap, he will be caught by this beast clip and break his bones.
In addition, the trap is also smeared with poison.
……
……
Late at night.
Three masked figures sneakily came to the door of Chen's house.
"Boss, I heard that the kid of the Chen family has become a martial artist, should we change it?"
A masked man whispered.
"What's wrong with the warrior, won't the warrior sleep?" A tall masked man said: "Besides, in the past two months, the grain and meat in the city have risen every day, and those poor ghosts can have a few catties of rice at home, but this Chen family kid has bought a lot of meat, and this Chen family kid has been fascinated, and then each of us can get dozens of catties of meat." ”
"The boss is right, even the warrior has to sleep, the smoke we brought is a good product, even if a cow smokes, you have to sleep for a day and a night, no matter how you call it, you can't wake up."
The other masked man agreed.
"Boss, this kid has put the door on the top, and the movement will be too loud if he hits it."
A masked man came to the door and peered through the crack in the door.
"If you can't open the door, then go over the wall and go in." The masked man Lao Dao: "You two squat down and use your hands to support me to the wall to see if the Chen family kid is asleep." ”
"Yes, Boss."
The two masked little brothers immediately squatted down.
The masked boss stepped on the hands of the two younger brothers, poked his head out of the wall, and looked at the courtyard.
The house is not big, and you can see it all at a glance.
The masked boss did not find anyone in the courtyard, and the room was pitch black.
"The boy of the Chen family is asleep, send me up."
The masked boss whispered.
Immediately, the two masked men got up, lifted the masked boss with their hands, and climbed onto the wall.
"Ahh
The masked man jumped off the wall and immediately fell into the trap set by Chen Xuan, stepping on the trap with both feet, and let out a terrible scream.
"Someone's barging in."
Chen Xuan, who was hiding in the cellar, was awakened in an instant.
For the sake of prudence, he hid in the cellar even when he was resting, and did not dare to sleep in the room.
However, the room is still deliberately arranged to look like someone sleeping, to confuse the thief, even if a thief escapes the trap under the wall in the courtyard and chooses to come down from the roof, as long as he enters the room where he sleeps, it will touch the mechanism he arranged.
Chen Xuan took a bow and arrows and came out of the cellar.
I saw a masked man fall into the trap he had dug up, wailing out of his mouth.
"Traps, there are traps in the yard, save me."
The masked boss wailed for help, his voice miserable.
"The boss has fallen into a trap, what should I do?"
"What else can I do, of course I ran away, the Chen family kid is a martial artist, let's take advantage of his sleep to secretly release smoke and cold arrows to plot, and fighting head-to-head is not looking for death."
"That's right, let's go!"
The two masked men outside heard the boss's screams and immediately ran away.
Whew!
At this moment, the masked man boss in the trap endured severe pain and raised his hand to fire a sleeve arrow at Chen Xuan.
Hidden arrows are hidden arrows hidden in the sleeve.
If it is used for sneak attacks, it can be said that it is impossible to prevent it.
Within thirty steps, it's basically hard to dodge.
However, when Chen Xuan saw the masked man raise his hand, he knew that the other party was going to release a hidden weapon, so he immediately dodged to the side, dodged the dark arrow shot, and then pulled out an arrow from his back to hold the bow and arrow.
Collapse –
Chen Xuan's fingers were released, and with a loud bowstring, sharp arrows burst out of the air.
With a pop, the sharp arrow hit the masked man in the chest, and the terrifying force pierced through the lobes of the lungs, killing him.
"And companions."
After killing the masked man in the courtyard, Chen Xuan immediately jumped onto the wall.
He saw two masked black figures fleeing in a hurry, cornering into an alley.
"Since you're here, let's send you on the road together, so that your boss won't be lonely on Huangquan Road."
Chen Xuan immediately pulled out two arrows from behind him and aimed them at the two masked black-clothed men who were fleeing in a hurry in the alley.
Collapse –
There was a loud bang, and two sharp arrows burst out of the air.
Poof!
The two masked men in black were shot almost simultaneously and fell to the ground in an instant.
After a few months of practice, Chen Xuan's archery skills have reached the second order, and it can be said that there are 100 shots and 100 hits within 100 meters, even if it is two arrows at once, the accuracy is quite high.
The two masked men in black did not die immediately, but Chen Xuan quenched poison on the arrow, and died of poison after lying on the ground and struggling a few times.
For corpses, Chen Xuan has experienced it once before, and now he is also a little adapted.
Lifting the masked man out of the trap, he quickly searched the corpse.
A money bag containing only a few dozen copper coins, a small bamboo tube for holding smoke, and a few mouth darts blown by mouth, sleeve arrows, and a nozzle canister containing venom.
"It's really well equipped."
Seeing these hidden weapons, Chen Xuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
Although these Xiaoxiao are not warriors, they are fully equipped, smoke, darts, sleeve arrows, and nozzles filled with venom, all of which are greeted, and if the warriors are careless, they may really capsize in the gutter, but fortunately they are cautious.
Chen Xuan put the sleeve arrow on his left hand, there are six small tubes in the quiver, a total of six short arrows can be loaded, just now the masked man issued a short arrow, so among the six small tubes in the quiver, only five small tubes are equipped with short arrows.
Chen Xuan also put away the rest of the hidden weapons, smoke, darts and spray cans filled with venom, these hidden weapons were much more clever than the quicklime he sprinkled with his hands, and they were more difficult to guard against.
After putting away the hidden weapon, Chen Xuan went back to the house and took three sacks to put the corpse in.
The three of them have a total of more than 400 catties, Chen Xuan's strength has increased greatly after practicing martial arts, and his height has reached about 1.8 meters in a few months, and his body is strong, and he does not feel much difficulty carrying more than 400 catties on his body.
He put on his mask and galloped towards River Street.
As soon as he came to River Street, Chen Xuan saw a masked black-clothed man throwing his body into the river not far away.
Chen Xuan glanced at the masked man in black, and turned to leave in unison.
