Chapter 235: The Bandits Attack
Shaking his head, Hao Meng was about to get up and go to call Luneng and the three of them to get up and keep vigil.
It's just that when he walked to the tent of Luneng's three-person people, he heard the sound of a thin rope again, and there seemed to be a faint sound of branches breaking. Hao Meng heard it clearly this time, his face changed suddenly, and he could almost judge that there was definitely someone!
And it's not just one person, it's supposed to be a group of people!
The person who will appear so sneakily at this time is definitely not well-intentioned, and he is a bandit. According to normal circumstances, he should be extremely nervous at this time, but for some reason, there was no tension in his heart, and he was even faintly excited.
He glanced over the muscular men, where several of the night watchmen were sitting drowsy by the campfire, apparently noticing the approaching enemy.
Hao Meng released his spiritual power and detected that in the forest near their camp, there were indeed people, and there were quite a few of them, there were about thirty of them.
There are only a dozen people in total who can have combat effectiveness on their side, and the difference in number is doubled. But Hao Meng didn't have any worries, most of the more than thirty people were ordinary people with stronger bodies, and occasionally he could detect a few people with the aura of a warlock, and his cultivation was definitely not high, he could do it alone.
To be on the safe side, he cautiously walked to the side of the group of muscular men who were keeping vigil, knocked on one of them, and whispered, "Hey, there's a situation!"
The muscular man suddenly woke up from his light sleep, and when he heard Hao Meng's words, he didn't scream. On the contrary, he kept his original movements very well and nodded quietly.
It is really worthy of being an old mercenary with many years of experience, although he is not clear about the situation, but he does not shout and alarm others.
The other muscular men who were keeping vigil together also nodded silently, asking one of them to go to the tent to wake up the others, while the rest carefully took out their weapons.
After doing this, Hao Meng used his spiritual power to probe the group of bandits in the forest, and he seemed to be uncertain. They didn't even move. Hao Meng was so happy that they didn't move. took this opportunity to come to the tent of the three of Luneng, ready to wake them up.
As for Boss Zhang, there is a group of muscular men who are responsible for waking up. There are other coolies, so don't call them for now. Because they are not combative. It's useless to shout.
After entering the single tent of the three of Luneng. Hao Meng woke up Luneng, and at first Luneng thought it was time to change the guard, so he got up in a daze and prepared to keep vigil.
Immediately after Hao Meng woke up Wu He. But something happened. When Hao Meng told him about the situation outside, he shouted in shock: "What? bandit!"
The night is extremely quiet, and the slightest sound of speech may not be heard clearly at such a distance. But Wu He was so loud, especially when he shouted the word bandit, how could the bandits hiding in the forest not know that they had been discovered?
"Damn, I've been discovered, rush me!" With a roar, in an instant, all the bandits roared with their weapons and rushed out of the forest frantically.
The bandits have long observed that even if you count the coolies, there are only about the same number of them.
And these coolies often do not participate in the battle, because there is an unwritten rule on the mainland not to harm those coolies. Of course, I encountered some more cruel ones, but I can't say for sure.
In a few moments, the bandits rushed over and surrounded the entire camp.
Boss Zhang's face immediately changed greatly, and he looked at the group of muscular men and Hao Meng as if asking for help.
As for the three of Luneng, he didn't count on it anymore, and he regretted it extremely much in his heart, how did he find these three inexperienced ones. If he loses a little bit of goods, it's still a trivial matter, and if the thieves slaughter him, it's painful.
I have to say that the group of muscular men are very professional, and they rushed out one after another, protecting everyone else inside.
As for Hao Meng, he stood behind, looking at the group of bandits quietly, silently calculating in his heart.
And the three of Luneng were full of embarrassment, especially Wu He, who knew that he had made a big mistake and alarmed the other party.
But no matter how to deal with him, we have to talk about it later, and the top priority is to force this group of bandits back first.
The group of muscular men were still relatively nervous, after all, they were inferior to each other in number, as for the strength of Hao Meng and Luneng, they didn't care about it at all, and because of Wu He's huge mistake, they all regarded Hao Meng and Luneng as goods all the way, and they didn't report hope at all.
Only Boss Zhang looked at Hao Meng hopefully, when Hao Meng was hired, Hao Meng also showed his strength. Otherwise, Boss Zhang wouldn't be stupid, and he would pay a commission of fifty gold coins without even asking.
Hao Meng didn't speak, and the leader of the group of muscular men stood up unequivocally: "Heroes, we are passing through the treasure land, and I hope you can give us a convenience, let us pass, this is our little heart, please smile." ”
As he spoke, the muscular man threw over a money bag.
The bandit leader took a look, and immediately a bandit picked it up and handed it over.
The leader looked at it, and there were only twenty gold coins in it, and he was immediately furious: "What the hell are you calling me Hanako? You want to send us away with just such a few gold coins?"
"That's it!" the other bandits cheered.
Boss Zhang's face was quite ugly, although the twenty gold coins were taken out by the leader of the muscular man, he would definitely have to reimburse them afterwards. I didn't expect the appetite of this group of bandits to be so big, and they couldn't look down on twenty gold coins.
As the boss, he naturally had to stand up: "So how about fifty gold coins, everyone can do it." ”
The cost of his trip is five hundred gold coins, and it is estimated that he can sell it for one thousand gold coins, in other words, the net profit is only five hundred gold coins, and after removing Hao Meng, the muscular man and Luneng, as well as the expenses of those coolies, his own profit is only two hundred at most.
Being able to endure the pain and give fifty gold coins to this group of bandits is considered hemorrhage.
Who knows, the leader of the group of bandits snorted coldly and said, "It's only fifty gold coins, you underestimate us too much, right? If not, then ask Lao Tzu if he has this knife in his hand!"
Five hundred! Boss Zhang suddenly exclaimed, if he really gave the five hundred, he would have to lose half of the gold coins, how could he be willing to give it?
"Everyone, it's up to you. Boss Zhang said with a blue face to the group of muscular men and Hao Mengdao.
The meaning of this statement is already obvious, and in the end it will be resolved by force.
Although the muscular men also knew that their own strength was not enough, the boss had already spoken, could they not go? Even if there were really casualties, they had to go, this is the mercenary principle.
It's just that the number of opponents has exploded them, which makes them a little worried.
It was Hao Meng, who said lightly: "No problem." ”
Seeing that Hao Meng was so calm and said such a thing, the leader of the muscular man suddenly became angry and snorted: "Boy, you are too arrogant, this is more than 30 people, do you think we can solve it? By the way, didn't you say that you are a fifth-order warlock? If you have the ability, prove it to us!"
"Yes, you have the ability!" the other muscular men also shouted.
Hao Meng nodded: "I am indeed ready to do this. ”
The muscular men, including Luneng, were stunned for a while, they didn't expect Hao Meng to really roll up his sleeves and walk up, as if he really wanted to take on more than thirty people alone.
Even the bandits on the opposite side couldn't help but froze, and then they couldn't help laughing.
"Hao Meng, why don't we go together, and everyone can take care of it. Lu Neng couldn't help but shout, this incident was originally caused by them, and they felt guilty.
Again, they didn't quite believe that Hao Meng really had the strength of a fifth-order warlock, and even if he did, it was impossible to defeat more than thirty fierce and cruel bandits in one go.
It's just that Hao Meng shook his head and refused: "No need, you can watch it with peace of mind." ”
Then, Hao Meng said to the bandits: "Don't waste time, you can go together." ”
The group of thieves froze, and then laughed wildly: "A little kid actually wants to single-handedly pick up more than 30 of us, it's just beyond his strength. ”
"Sixth, you give me a test of this kid's strength first. The bandit leader pursed his lips and sneered.
The bandit who was called the sixth thief suddenly jumped out, brandished a big knife and hummed: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely chop this kid into meat to show you! Boy, are you ready to die?"
"Just you?" Hao Meng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Forget it, let's come one by one." ”
"Damn, what an arrogant boy, I'll let you know why the flowers are so red now!" he roared, holding a big knife and slashing at Hao Meng's head.
The group of muscular men couldn't bear to look at it, although they couldn't get used to Hao Meng's pretending to be forced, but no matter what, Hao Meng was a group of them, Hao Meng was really going to be chopped into mashed meat, and they still couldn't watch it.
The three young people of Luneng didn't dare to look down, and they all covered their eyes.
Just waited for a while, and there was no expected scream, they all opened their eyes and looked over, and were stunned to see that the sixth child slashed at Hao Meng with a big knife, but unexpectedly stopped.
The group of bandits also discovered the accident and immediately shouted, "Sixth, what are you doing? Cut it down!"
I saw Hao Meng pull his fist out of the sixth child's lower abdomen and slap it on his forehead, and the sixth man immediately collapsed.
"Sixth, six!" the bandits roared.
Hao Meng said lightly: "Don't worry, he is only temporarily unconscious, there is no big problem." ”
"You!" the bandits were furious, and their eyes were almost bursting with fire.
The leader even shouted: "Damn, give it to me, chop this stinky boy!"
