Chapter 18: The Cave
Five days later, the twin wolves came with news that the bandits had been found.
Xia Zhizhuo took the team leader Cao Ming and Liu Hao to join the two wolves and go to the Yuwu Mountain Range together.
Today's fog is exceptionally thick, and it is difficult to feel the sun in the sky during the day.
For a while, everyone's hair was covered with white mist.
Everyone went all the way, and every once in a while, the coyote would receive a message from the flying pigeon.
It was a spy of the Twin Wolf Mercenaries, who passed the news in front, and the Twin Wolves were employed by the eldest lady, so the news Coyote would also tell everyone.
But there is nothing to say, just to report the approximate location of the bandits.
After receiving another flying pigeon, the coyote unfolded the note, looked surprised, and said to the eldest lady: "What are the bandits digging for? ”
"They must be digging for treasure, and when we arrive, we will take them to the nest. Iron Wolf said very proudly.
The coyote looked into the distance with grim eyes, and sneered: "After they dig the cave and the main force enters." We went up again to get rid of the bandits outside, and then set up a trap at the entrance of the cave to bury them. Wait for them to come out... Hey, hey, hey."
Suddenly, the laughter stopped, the coyote's eyes rolled, looked at the three people of the divine arrow, and said, "Miss, you hired our twin wolves just to kill the bandits." If there is a treasure in the cave, it will not be counted as a mission. ”
"That's nature, I only hire you to kill bandits. When you meet a baby, what you get is naturally yours. ”
After speaking, everyone couldn't help but distance a little, and Xia Zhizhuo, Liu Hao, and Cao Ming walked closer.
It's normal for this wilderness to be hunted for treasure. Xia Zhizhuo whispered to Cao Ming and Liu Hao, be careful.
Although the two wolves did not dare to move the eldest lady of the divine arrow, they were afraid of the retaliation of the divine arrow.
But except for Liu Hao and the three here, they are all people with two wolves. When the time comes, it is said that the three of them died at the hands of the bandits, and then they killed the bandits to extinguish their mouths, and no one knows about this.
After a half-day trek, everyone finally met with the spies.
Then everyone saw from a distance that the bandits were carrying earth and rocks, and the water men were digging in front. Iron Face leans against the tree, closes his eyes and rests his mind.
In fact, the bandits didn't know what was in the mountains, because a bandit found a spar, and this spar was held by a mountain mouse, and finally the spar was naturally robbed by the bandits.
The mountain rat was signaled by Iron Mask to let go, and the bandits followed the mountain mouse all the way here.
A deep cave with a thigh-thick entrance.
The iron mask invited the water man and his subordinates to dig along the small hole, the spar is no more than gold and silver, ordinary people have never seen one in their lives, and they even let the mountain rat take a piece.
This is much better than robbing, and ordinary bandits will rob some ordinary people and rob some gold and silver jewelry.
But wherever there is a caravan with a spare, it must also be guarded by warriors, and they dare not snatch it at will.
And the mountain rats in this small hole actually had hedrons, so the bandits worked hard to dig. Maybe there is a spar mine in this mountain rat's nest, so it will be released.
The eldest lady's eyes were cold, and she pointed to the iron mask in the distance hatefully, and said in a low voice: "Coyote, the one with the black iron mask is the bandit leader." Just help me kill him, and the rest of the commission will be given to you now. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, let this group of bandits open the way. Maybe there's something good hidden in there?" the coyote said with a slight smile and nonchalantly.
Xia Zhilan saw the coyote's perfunctory appearance, so she couldn't get angry. As long as she kills Iron Mask, she doesn't care about the good things that the coyote says.
Because Iron Mask killed the person with the magic arrow, and teased her to be the lady of the village.
It is speculated that Iron Mask and Divine Arrow still have a grudge, and Xia Zhizhuo will kill him in public and private. And the coyote was not in a hurry to make a move, which made the eldest lady not angry.
The little squirrel slowly woke up in Liu Hao's arms, rubbing its eyes sleepily. When he saw the bandits digging in the distance, the little squirrel looked at Liu Hao's ears with strange eyes, said to look for food, and disappeared.
......
In the evening, it was slightly dark, and the bandits finally found the mountain rat's nest.
Five more hedrons were found in the nest, which made the bandits work harder, and it was more promising than robbing on the road.
The bandits were all happy, but the iron mask was leaning against the big tree, and his face was expressionless. He looked at the hedron in his hand, handed in by the bandits, and fell into deep thought.
How can there be a spar in this wilderness and mountain?
Is there really a spar mine here?
Iron Mask didn't notice that there were two people in the distance, staring greedily at the hedron in his hand.
The two wolf brothers saw the spar in Iron Mask's hand from a distance, and their eyes were green.
The iron wolf's eyes flickered, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore, pressed his ear, and said eagerly: "Let's go up, grab the spade, kill the bandits, and get the commission." We can dig it ourselves. The men and horses in the regiment received the news from the flying pigeon, and they had all rushed over at this moment. ”
"Well, I feel that the man in the iron mask is not simple, he leaned against the big tree for a day, and he did not move. You can see that the water element around him is very thick, and he should be about to break through the third order of the water system or already be the third order. Such a young third-order martial artist is even more terrifying than Xia Zhizhuo, who is known as a divine arrow and is rare in a hundred years. If we let him escape, we two wolves can't withstand his retaliation! Coyote's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said cautiously.
Subsequently, the coyote invited Xia Zhizhuo and the three of them together.
He lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to do it in a while, and the eldest lady will suppress the iron mask from a distance." We all rushed forward quickly, and the first-order martial artists blocked the bandits. Create an opportunity for my big brother Iron Wolf to get close to Iron Mask. I'll use ground thorns to interfere with his spells. If he summons a water man, I will block it with a native man. As long as the iron wolf is close to him, it only takes three breaths to get rid of the masked man. ”
There are three categories of warriors: ranged marksman, mid-range warlock, and melee warrior. Warlocks are generally not physically strong, and if they are close to a warrior, it is not an exaggeration to solve the problem with three breaths.
But is Iron Mask really just a frail warlock?
Of course, Xia Zhizhuo and Liu Hao won't say it, if they say it, that cunning coyote is estimated to take the opportunity to increase the price again.
The coyote waved his hand, and everyone slowly approached the bandits.
Ten zhang~
Hachijo~
Wuzhang ~
At this moment, Iron Mask frowned, let out a soft groan, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the grass where everyone lived.
"There are people, everyone is ready to meet the enemy. ”
As soon as Iron Mask burst into a shout, an arrow burst through the air.
Sou~
This arrow was extremely accurate, with a sharp sound, and it came straight to the iron surface.
The bandit Tie Mian didn't seem to find it, and he didn't hide or dodge, Xia Zhizhuan looked happy, could it be that he understood this big enemy with one arrow.
Suddenly, the eldest lady frowned slightly, and her face was angry.
Kiss~~
I saw that when the arrow was about to hit the iron surface, it was blocked by a curtain of water for a moment.
Just this moment is enough to dodge with an iron face.
Whoosh~~~
Now that the other party is already alert, there is no need to be sneaky, Xia Zhilan has no scruples, and keeps shooting arrows.
Iron Mask's face changed greatly, and several arrows in the sky came straight to him, without any dead ends, and there was no way to avoid it.
Suddenly, I saw two bandits rushing out from behind Iron Mask, and the two bandits were holding scimitars, quickly blocking in front of Iron Mask, splitting arrows one by one.
Everyone didn't expect that there were two first-order martial artists among the bandits. It seems that the bandits did not go out last time, so Xia Zhizhuo was pinned down by two first-order bandits.
Buzzing~~
Suddenly, there was a tremor under the iron mask, and rows of ground thorns pierced up from the ground.
Jump!
roared together, and the iron mask jumped up suddenly, avoiding the ground thorns.
The coyote who controlled the ground thorn was surprised in his heart: "With such a good skill, is he still a warrior?"
Iron Mask dodged the ground thorns, the staff swayed obliquely, and a water man in front of him was condensing.
The coyote did not show weakness, and the handprints were repeated, and a native on the ground was also growing.
After a while, the earth and water people swelled, and in an instant they were fighting together.
However, the water man was slightly defeated, but he did not fall behind for the time being.
From Xia Zhilu's secret arrow sneak attack, to the huge earthies and water people at this time, only a few seconds have passed.
At this time, the battle had begun, and countless shouts and shouts of killing came like a flood.
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
"Kill all the bandits!"
......
Liu Hao and other first-order martial artists, as well as iron wolves, kept rushing towards the iron face, and bandits kept coming out to stop them.
Slowly, all the first-order martial artists were entangled by the big wave of bandits.
Only the iron wolf, under the cover of everyone, is getting closer and closer to the iron mask.
At this time, Iron Mask was also under the cover of bandits, constantly retreating.
Where to run!
The Iron Wolf roared, brandished his mace, and pounced on the Iron Mask.
Iron Face's face was shocked, and the staff pointed lightly.
Sou
An arm-thick water arrow flew out of the staff and shot towards the iron wolf's chest.
Boom~
With a loud bang, the iron wolf jumped up, and a mace slashed the water arrow.
But his body was castrated, and Iron Mask took advantage of this moment to hide in the dug cave.
Kill!
The iron wolf was red-eyed, roared angrily, and followed into the cave.
After half a ring, the bandits outside the cave were slaughtered.
Liu Hao and the others looked at the cave dug by the bandits, and didn't know whether to go in or not.
The coyote's face changed, and he saw that the reckless iron wolf rushed in alone. He sighed, and hurriedly rushed in with two first-order martial artists.
Liu Hao and Cao Ming both looked at the eldest lady, and when she made up her mind, Xia Zhilan hesitated for a moment and gritted her teeth.
"Let's go in too!"
In the cave, Liu Hao walked in the front, Xia Zhilan was in the center, and Cao Ming was behind.
Because Liu Hao and Cao Ming are both warriors, they naturally want to protect Xia Zhizhuo, a sharpshooter.
Originally, even if Xia Zhilan didn't enter, Liu Hao would also go in, because when he was in the scuffle just now, he saw the sneaky little squirrel also sneaking in.
It was dark when he entered the cave, and Liu Hao hurriedly lit the torch and explored the way ahead.
Xia Zhizhuo held a bow in her left hand, an arrow in her right hand, and her body squatted, and she could shoot the strongest arrow at any time.
Cao Ming also pulled out his long knife and looked around vigilantly.
After walking for a while, the three of them saw several bandits dead on the ground, and it seemed that they should have been killed by the people of the two wolves.
The twin wolf mercenaries did not all come down, and the cave was only big enough for three people side by side, and it was crowded when there were many people.
So in addition to chasing the Iron Wolf in the Iron Mask, the Coyote only came in with two first-order warriors.
The coyote is an earth-based warlock, and is best suited to fight in this cave, with two first-order warriors protecting him one after the other.
After walking for a while, Liu Hao and the others found that there were no traces of excavation in the cave at this time, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
This is a natural cave!
The cave dug by the bandits was connected to an unknown cave, and it was even more open, enough for a carriage to pass smoothly.
There is an evil aura in the air, which makes people more and more irritable.
This cave must be related to the Demon Sect, and only the masters of the Demon Sect can have this kind of evil aura.
The Demon Sect's cultivation is all about exercises that harm others and benefit themselves, so ordinary low-level martial artists will avoid them when they encounter them.
