After staying in the cave of Jinwu Mountain for so long, I don't know what time it is outside, and the only way to tell if it is dark outside is to stare at the entrance of the cave not far away until it is dark outside.

Shao Xi asked Wu Qiu'er and Nabihai to stay behind, and he took Lao Wu and Fu Biao to quietly touch the entrance of the cave.

Although it was already dark outside at this time, the night sky in the desert was starry and the moon was in the sky.

The eyes of several people who had been squatting in the cave for a long time had already adapted to the darkness, and the faint light that penetrated the cave entrance was still clearly visible in the eyes of several people.

There were a total of twelve people outside the cave, all dressed neatly dressed in the Western Regions, and they came here after Shao Xi and the others entered the cave.

The skeleton of the dragon horned lizard at the entrance of the cave really surprised them, and the leader also judged that Shao Xi and the others must have entered the cave.

Six people were arranged to guard on both sides of the cave entrance, while the others looked through the luggage left by several people outside the cave entrance.

They were indeed sent by McGid to secretly track the whereabouts of Shao Xi and the others here, and they were ordered to follow Shao Xi and others to confirm the location of the treasure as long as they found that Shao Xi and the others were looking for treasures.

Once confirmed, a few people will be taken down and escorted back to Wuhai City.

As Shao Xi expected, McGid had some suspicion that the few of them had suddenly left Wuhai City for a long journey, and he judged from the information he received from Alia that Shao Xi and the others were most likely on their trip to find the treasure.

The twelve people sent out were all royal agents of Wuhai Kingdom, and in order to hide their identities in this mission, they did not carry anything that could prove their identity.

So no matter what they do to Shao Xi and the others at this time, no one will be responsible for this.

The order they received was to secretly capture Shao Xi and the others, and quietly send them back to Wuhai City, and kill them in case of fierce resistance.

I have to say that McJid, this old guy is ruthless enough, the front foot has just finished playing with Shao Xi, and the back foot wants to take Shao Xi's life for this treasure, and sure enough, nothing else matters in front of interests.

This group of people kept guard outside the entrance of the cave until it was dark, and Shao Xi and the others did not come out, and the leader couldn't help but mutter.

The original plan was to wait for Shao Xi and the others to come out and take them down, find out the evidence of the treasure hidden here from them, and then take a few people and these evidences back to Wuhai City to report to McJid.

Now that they have waited for so long and have not seen Shao Xi come out, their group of people dare not enter the cave rashly, and they are working like this outside, and the longer they pass, the more anxious they feel in their hearts.

He didn't know if Shao Xi and the others could still come out? What's in this cave?

Now they had taken the skin and horns from the monster from their camels, but they weren't the treasure they were looking for.

Shao Xi and the others never appeared, so he couldn't confirm whether this was the place where the treasure was hidden, and if he couldn't get a definite answer, he couldn't send the news back.

At the moment, there is only one last letter eagle left at hand, and this last message must be accurate enough.

At this time, there was no other way but to continue to set up an ambush at the entrance of the cave, they were not sure when Shao Xi and the others would come out, or if they would come out, but now there was no other choice.

There were still three people in ambush on each side of the cave entrance, and the remaining six were standing with knives not far from the cave entrance.

Although it was already dark and the temperature in the desert had plummeted at night, the men did not dare to light a fire to keep warm, lest the people of the cave find out that they were setting up an ambush at the entrance of the cave.

It's okay at first, but after a long time, it's unbearable, a group of people don't take measures to keep warm in the desert at night, and they have to keep nervous at all times, and they will naturally feel tired after a long time.

The reason why Shao Xi had to wait until it was dark to do it was this what he was waiting for.

They were in the cave at the moment, and the cold air at night outside the cave was not obvious in the cave, plus at this time he knew the situation outside the cave, but the people outside the cave did not know what was going on inside the cave.

Shao Xi planned to spend a while more with them, and the initiative at this time was in his own hands.

He knew that these people outside the cave would not put together a bonfire to keep warm anyway, and the night in the desert was very cold, and even if these people were not frozen late at night, their body would become sluggish.

Moreover, this cave is a black hole from the outside to the inside during the day, and at night, let alone the inside of the cave entrance, even the outside of the cave entrance is pitch black.

In this cold and dark environment, Shao Xi has to compare himself with the other party with patience.

Although facing the twelve people outside the cave, Shao Xi and Fu Biao were still able to cope with it as long as they were nimble, Shao Xi didn't like to take those uncertain risks.

Breaking out of the cave wasn't his purpose, his goal was to kill all twelve of them, so that they would stay here forever and not be able to pass the news back.

Then you have to hit the first blow and achieve your goal perfectly, so you can only ensure your 100% success when the other party is most tired and sluggish.

Wuqiu'er in the dark was so bored that he dozed off, Shao Xi asked Nabihai to look at him, but whenever he was angry, he would pinch him.

As a result, the poor child had been dozing off and waking up, but he did not dare to complain.

Shao Xi took Fu Biao and Lao Wu to squat not far from the entrance of the cave, holding their breath and waiting for the opportunity.

All three were very patient.

Fu Biao fought on the battlefield back then, set up ambushes and sneak attacks, often lurking in the field for a few days, and he had already developed patience.

Not to mention Lao Wu, if the thief doesn't have this patience, he won't be able to steal good things in this life.

The three of them just squatted there so quietly that they couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

I don't know how long it took to say this, but finally there was a sound of talking from outside the entrance of the cave, although the voice was very soft, but Shao Xi could hear it clearly in the cave.

"Chief, we've been here during the day until now, could these people have been eaten by other monsters in the cave? Otherwise, why hasn't it come out for so long? ”

"It's strange that they've been in for so long, their camels have been left outside, and they should have returned here even if there were other exits."

"So what do we do now? Do you want to stay here forever? ”

The man known as the leader was silent for a moment, seemingly helpless about the current situation.

"Wait, if there is no movement in the second half of the night, we will take turns to rest and wait until dawn to go into the cave to have a look."

"Into the hole? Leader, if they don't even come out, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go in again? ”

This sentence seemed to anger the leader a little, only to hear him reprimand in a deep voice: "As a spy of His Majesty the King, you are actually afraid of danger? ”

The person who was scolded seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "That's not what my subordinates meant, I just said that we should be careful." ”

After this conversation, silence returned to the outside of the cave.

Shao Xi squatted at the entrance of the cave and thought to himself, in the second half of the night, you take turns to rest, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to wait until tomorrow to enter the cave again.

Time passed silently until Shao Xi heard the sound of speech outside the cave entrance again.

"Six people rested, six people continued to be on duty, rotated once before dawn, all a little alert, no one knew when they would come out."

As the words fell, footsteps and blankets were heard outside the hole.

It seems that the people outside the cave have let their guard down, and they seem to believe that nothing should happen before dawn.

Although the leader told them to be vigilant, he himself had already relented, and felt that it was enough for six men to guard the entrance of the cave.

Almost half an hour later, Shao Xi heard an almost inaudible snoring sound from outside the cave, accompanied by the yawning of several people guarding the entrance of the cave.

Shao Xi felt that the time had come.

The gang should have been exhausted from tracking themselves for so many days, and found themselves in the cavern, which seemed to them to be the final stage of their operation.

So at the beginning they will be very nervous, and they will be very cautious in guarding the entrance of the cave, but this nervousness and caution will gradually turn into fatigue over time.

The long period of not seeing fruit, combined with the cold of the desert night, will slow them to relax.

At this time, all they thought in their hearts was that Shao Xi and the others had died in this cave, and the real danger was in the cave, as long as someone guarded the entrance of the cave, nothing would happen tonight.

At this time, the location of Shao Xi and the others has been confirmed, at least they can take a rest at this time.

And it was at this time that Shao Xi chose to make a move.

The men guarding the entrance to the cave were yawning and dozing off a little when they heard what seemed to be something on the sand near them, making a "poof" sound.

Just when they were a little puzzled, they only heard another "click" followed by it.

Before they could really react, they saw that the cold light was shining, dense as a cow's hair, shooting towards them like a scattered star, and there was no time to make any dodge and defense.

The six people at the entrance of the cave were all hit, and one by one they fell to the ground wailing, which shows how much pain the thing hit them had.

The howls of several people woke up the other six who were resting, and they hurriedly pulled their scimitars from their scabbards and looked at the six people at the entrance of the cave.

When they saw the shiny ball in the sand, they realized that someone had launched a sneak attack on them.

got up and was about to gather around the direction of the cave entrance, when suddenly a cold light flashed out of the cave entrance, which hit the chest of the person facing the cave, and the person who was hit flew out directly and was nailed to the cliff wall opposite the cave entrance.

The remaining five people looked back, only to see that the cold light was actually a long straight knife, which had penetrated their partner's body at this time, nailing the whole person to the stone wall.

"Beware! They're out! ”

By the time the remaining five people reacted, it was too late.

Before they could see who it was, five cold rays flew out of it, each of which hit their throats.

Before the five of them could make any more noise, they fell to the ground.

The man who was the leader stared at Shao Xi in front of him with wide eyes, his eyes were full of fear and unwillingness, probably he still couldn't understand at this time, it was obviously his own side that ambushed the other party, but why was he attacked by the other party?

It's just that in an instant, all the twelve of them were put down, and until now he can't believe what happened just now?

Shao Xi stood in place, looking at the delicate repeater in his hand, and nodded with great satisfaction.

The craftsmanship of this tenement building is really good, such a small crossbow can fire five arrows in a row, and it is also very powerful, and it is really very good to use.

Although the "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flower" thrown out before did not kill all the six people at the entrance of the cave, it also made the other party lose the power to resist in an instant, and this Tangmen's secret weapon is really easy to use.

Shao Xi hung the crossbow back on his waist, walked to the leader's side and squatted down, and said with a smile: "These days, you have been protected all the way, and now we have found what we should be looking for, and your task is completed, so let's rest here!" ”

The leader looked at Shao Xi's smiling face in the moonlight, as if looking at the most terrible thing in the world, and let out two "grunt" sounds in his throat, and finally died with his eyes stared.

"Fu Biao, light the fire."

Fu Biao, who was pulling out the straight knife from the dead man on the cliff, turned around and answered, wiped the blood stains on the knife into the scabbard, and walked to the side to build a bonfire.

At this time, Lao Wu was mending the knife for the six guys who were hit by the "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" at the entrance of the cave, Shao Xi saw it and hurriedly said: "Old guy, don't start too fast, leave me a living." ”

Lao Wu turned his head and asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that you can't keep a single living mouth?" ”

"Don't worry about it, I'm useful."

When Lao Wu heard this, he picked up one of them and dragged it to the campfire and threw it there.

turned around and came to the entrance of the cave, and said to Wu Qiu'er, who was stuck at the entrance of the cave at this time: "My good disciple grandson, can't you eat less?" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull the black ball, and Nabihai inside the cave was desperately pushing the black ball to the outside of the cave at this time.

Wu Qiu'er's figure makes no difference whether he is sideways or not at the entrance of the cave, and at this time, his round belly is stuck at the entrance of the cave and rubbing it out little by little.

Shao Xi watched from the side with a smile on his face, but he didn't have time to help Wu Qiu'er.

He came to the only living mouth, looked at the guy who had lost one eye, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to be so miserable, answer me a few questions well, otherwise I won't kill you, and I will leave you here to die slowly." ”

Death at this time is not terrible, for the guy lying on the ground, killing him is the greatest gift for him.

Because the cow hair steel needles punched out in "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" were slowly swimming in his body, the pain of his whole body like being stung by a bee was his biggest pain at this time.
