Quicksand Lake.

A radius of more than ten miles is full of swamps, natural barriers.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, if you step here, once you fall into the swamp, you will only die.

There is a small lake in the center, which is clear, clean and drinkable.

On the edge of the lake.

The cottage is built by the lake, and this is the lair of quicksand thieves.

In the dark.

A dark shadow appeared outside the cottage.

It was Yang Xiu.

Getting a safe route from the mouth of the man in black, coupled with his strength, the swamp outside couldn't stop him.

Cottage above.

A group of bandits patrolled with torches to prevent the thieves from approaching.

Observe for a moment.

Yang Xiu acted, waited for the patrol team to pass, seized the time difference, and touched the wall, and the three-meter-high wall could not stop him.

Take a leap.

Step on the wall and climb over the past.

Enter the cottage.

Avoid the traps in the shadows and go inside.

According to the man in black, find the yard of the quicksand thief's big boss and the second master.

They live in the same yard.

right next to each other.

When danger comes, there can be a response.

on the eaves.

Yang Xiu leaned over and looked at the guards below.

There were twelve people in total, guarding the outside of the two rooms.

They are all martial artists, and the strength of the Open Pulse Realm is stronger than the rabble outside.

Silently calculated.

Fix them with just one breath.

Controlled his footsteps and approached them.

When they arrived nearby, they rushed down from the eaves, and the fourth-order snow treading was light and swift without a trace, and without making a single movement, it appeared behind them.

Flash quickly.

With a dagger in hand, cut their necks.

The bandits saw a black shadow passing by, and just as they were about to scream, they lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Yang Xiu's eyes were quick, and he held their corpses and put them on the ground.

Stop outside a room.

The dagger slipped through the crack in the door, gently pried the deadbolt open, and slowly pushed the door open.

Enter the room and feel towards the bedroom.

As long as the big brothers are removed, the remaining people of the quicksand thieves are not enough to mention, and the medicinal materials they loot are also in the bag.

There was a peculiar smell in the room.

Yang Xiu's seventh-order medical skills and third-order poison techniques, dealing with medicinal materials, immediately smelled it, this is poisonous smoke!

Take out an antidote pill and take it, use the body technique to the limit, and fly out.

The surrounding rooms open.

The torches lit up, one tall and one short, two big men, they were the big boss and the second master of the quicksand thieves, called Liufeng and Shafeng, and led dozens of bandits to surround Yang Xiu.

"Big brother, what you said is right, if the military advisor has not returned for a day, he must have been poisoned, and he was detained by them, and he will send someone over at night. Set up an ambush and wait for them to jump inside. Sha Feng said proudly.

cold-eyed scolded: "When will the Zhou Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion be like the Giant Whale Gang, doing some things like stealing chickens and dogs?" ”

Yang Xiu frowned.

In this operation, he ignored one point.

Forget that the man in black did not go back, and take it as a warning.

Glance around.

More than a dozen bandits had crossbows in their hands, and the others, although elite, were vulnerable, not even warriors.

Treading the snow without a trace, retreating towards the back.

There is no nonsense.

As he stepped back, he held four poisonous fire beads in his left hand and smashed them.

The bandits from behind rushed up and tried to kill him.

The dagger flashed, and three people were beheaded in a row.

Yang Xiuru was like a slippery loach and rushed out of their encirclement.

"Hide!" Flowing wind reminder.

The brothers ducked to the side.

Four poisonous fire beads exploded, and the poisonous smoke mixed with the flames hit the robbers' bodies, and more than a dozen bandits armed with repeaters were killed before they could pull the trigger.

Even the two of them suffered a little shock, suffered some minor injuries, and the poisonous gas entered their bodies, but they were full of qi and blood, and they took the antidote pill in time to escape the catastrophe.

Come back to your senses.

The two brothers are so angry that their eyes can kill!

Rush with a lunge.

As he charged, he drew his sword and slashed it with ferocity.

Their sword skills complemented each other, flowing wind attack, sand wind defense, plus the mind was figured out, the sword light flickered, blocking Yang Xiu's dodge route.

"Tempest Knife Technique!" Yang Xiu did not retreat but advanced.

Faster, a little under the feet, appeared behind them.

The "fast" of the wind knife technique is brought into full play.

Han Mang slashed down, and with his powerful strength, he roughly slashed towards Liufeng's head.

The two reacted quickly.

Although Sha Feng's knife was not as fast as Yang Xiu's, his sword technique was mainly defensive, protecting them in front, and the knife in Liufeng's hand was powerful and heavy, slashing horizontally towards Yang Xiu's waist.

The first to fight was Sandwind.

The dagger was slashed at his knife, and after being re-refined, the power of the dagger began to be hideous.

A single blow cut off the knife in Shafeng's hand, splitting him in half.

"Sandwind!" The wind roared in sorrow.

The knife momentum was instantly three points sharp, and he vowed to kill Yang Xiu.

Relying on his fast body, Yang Xiu dodged sideways.

"Tai Chi Health Boxing!"

The left hand formed a fist, condensed all the punch strength, and smashed it on his chest.

Tremendous force, piercing his chest.

With a slash of the dagger, he was beheaded.

Looking at the remaining dozen or so bandits, he quickly rushed forward and killed them all one by one.

The movement here alarmed the bandits outside.

kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in.

Yang Xiu's face was expressionless, and he took out a poisonous fire bead and smashed it.

Bang!

The poisonous fire beads fell in the crowd, and the waves of destructive qi that erupted devoured them, and those who survived had not yet come to their senses.

There was a flash of cold in front of him, and he lost consciousness.

When Yang Xiu stopped, there were corpses everywhere on the ground.

Only a few escaped.

Touch the corpse!

The harvest is abundant.

Find medicinal herbs in a room and fill four chests.

Put these herbs into sacks, and the two sacks are full.

Out of the room, rushed outside.

When you get to the outside of the cottage, you kick the torch on the ground against the wooden wall.

The light of the fire rises, dispelling the darkness and billowing smoke into the air.

Yang Xiu didn't look back, and rushed outside.

Back home.

Some blood appeared on the ground.

His face sank, and he rushed to the outside of his aunt's room, and just stretched out his hand to push open the door, listening to his aunt's snoring, he put his hand down again.

"What's going on?" Yang Xiu was puzzled.

I followed the blood to my room, and there was a blood mark on the door.

I guessed a little in my heart, but I wasn't sure yet.

When I opened the door, the smell of blood was stronger.

A man in black was lying on the ground, and beside him, there was a broken long sword.

"Zhang Jin!" Yang Xiu guessed.

Only he can explain why there are blood stains in the courtyard and why my aunt is fine.

Put the sack down.

He walked over and lifted him up from the ground, and he was badly wounded, with seven or eight stab wounds in the chest, one of which was the most fatal, almost piercing the heart.

took out the hemostatic pill and fed it to him, then crushed the recovery pill and applied it to his wound, and used five pieces in a row to cover the wound......
