Chapter 24: A Pack of Hedgehogs

At night, it was dark and invisible, and in a pile of rubble, a dozen or so arresters sat around the fire, and beside them were several prisoner carts, holding prisoners.

At night, only the cool wind blows knee-high wild grass, which looks a little strange on this night!

After most of the catchers were asleep, leaving only two night watchmen, there was a group of sneaky people watching them from afar away from this group of catchers!

Hidden behind a messy pile of rocks, they gradually revealed their bodies and began to approach the trappers.

"Be careful, if something happens, I'm not done with you!" one of them, who seemed to be the leader, lowered his voice and threatened in a low voice.

The others did not dare to speak out against it, but lowered their waists and moved more carefully.

The leader was very satisfied with their actions, and said no more, and walked in the direction of the fire, his right hand already on the hilt of the sword, ready to be unsheathed at any moment!

Slowly, they were already very close to the fire, and if they got so close, they would inevitably be discovered, but now, with a quick charge, they could rush into the crowd.

Their leader made a gesture, and the others straightened up when they saw it, and took a step forward, rushing towards the sleeping trappers!

The silence of the night was broken by the shouts of the group, and the moonlight reflected off the long knives in their hands, driving a light like death!

The two vigil hunters seemed to have just reacted, and they were in a hurry, trying to wake up their companions and defend themselves against the invading enemy.

"Haha! it's too late!" said the leader of the robbers, laughing wildly, as if he had seen the image of this group of unresisting catchers lying under their own knives, dying with fear!

However, until the last moment, it is impossible to know what the result will be, when this group of people are still about ten meters away from the catchers, the catchers who are still lying on the ground actually quickly got up in an instant and formed a battle formation.

What's even more terrifying is that each of them has a powerful crossbow that has been wound in their hands......

At this distance, the strong crossbow can give full play to its advantages, especially the strong crossbow array that has been formed, even if it is a master, it has to be in a hurry at this time, not to mention these ordinary robbers and bandits......

The situation was reversed in an instant, the concern between the hunter and the prey was suddenly reversed, everything happened so fast that the bandits were not given a chance to react at all, and the catchers quickly pulled the trigger......

"Boom ......", "Boom Boom ......", "Boom Boom ......"

Several sounds of breaking through the air were heard, accompanied by the sound of crossbow arrows piercing into their bodies, blood was sprinkled wildly, and the rich smell of blood rippled in the air, taking away their lives!

At this distance, it is definitely a dozen and one accurate, and the catchers did not miss a single shot, and they all took away a person's life......

Moreover, the strong crossbows they use are all double-grooved, which also means that two crossbow arrows can be fired.

But it wasn't over yet, the crossbow bolts from the front row just now, after they fired, quickly retreated backwards, and at the same time loaded the crossbow groove with arrows again.

And at this time, the catcher who was standing behind quickly stepped forward, came to the front, and shot out the crossbow arrow in his hand!

Two-stage shot!

The cycle continued, and the bandits of more than thirty people were wiped out in less than two hits, and only a few remained.

And the others, all of them have become hedgehogs! There are only a few left, and the catchers don't bother to waste crossbow arrows, so they just pull out their knives and go up two or three times to knock the rest of them down.

At this time, Lin Qi also appeared from the darkness, with a light smile, and looked at the Mountain King who was locked on the prisoner car playfully, "I said that I have a way for you to go to the frontier safely!"

What the hell is going on? Why do the catchers have such a thing as a crossbow in their hands? It all started two days ago......

At that time, Lin Qi and his entourage came to a relatively large city, which was much larger than Yunfan City, at that time, in addition to buying dry food, Lin Qi also went to the official mansion here, visited the prefect here, and asked for a permit from him.

Then the army stationed here was equipped with a crossbow for each catcher, saying that such a thing as a crossbow cannot be leaked out, but Lin Qi and others are also working for the imperial court, not outsiders.

And they saw that Lin Qi and the others were on a mission, and there might be danger on the road, and it was just a few, and it was nothing, so they agreed haughtily.

In this way, Lin Qi and his party got the crossbow arrows, and along the way, Lin Qi and his party walked on the official road, basically there is no place to hide their figures, many of them are open land.

Unless the person who came to rob the prisoner was a fool, he would never rush over so directly, and on the official road, there are few places where he can hide, and in the current place, it is the best place to hide.

Lin Qi also felt that if he came to rob the prisoner, eighty percent would also choose to be here, so when he decided to spend the night here, Lin Qi had already reminded the others, who could sleep!

Just in case, at night, Lin Qi also used light skills to search the surrounding area, just in case those bandits' hiding skills, it was difficult not to be discovered by Lin Qi!

For all these reasons, the bandits were designed by Lin Qi to make them hedgehogs, and they were directly sent to accompany Lord Yan to drink tea and chat.

Clapping their hands, tying the few people they caught with ropes and stuffing them into the prisoner car, Lin Qi's group of people could finally rest with peace of mind, and after burying all the corpses on the ground, regardless of the hazy night, quickly leave this ghost place.

Now I am traveling overnight and making up for sleep after dawn, although it is troublesome, but it is relatively safe.

The next day, the bright sun had risen into the sky, illuminating the earth, and Lin Qi and his party were now parked on the side of the road, except for Lin Qi and Lu Peng, who was in the wind, everyone else was lying on the ground without an image, sleeping deeply!

But it's not to blame them, last night's stay up to fight, although there was no physical injury, but mentally exhausted, plus the overnight rush, it is strange that they can still hold on......

After eliminating the prisoners, the road will be much smoother, at least there is no need to worry about someone rushing out to add to their swords.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lin Qiyi followed Lu Peng to talk about the things on the rivers and lakes.

"Brother Lin Qi, do you know that the Master of the Buddha Sect's Wunian has been fighting against the Blood Demon Ancestor of the Demon Sect recently, and that fight was earth-shattering!"

Lu Peng seems to know very well about these things on the rivers and lakes, and keeps explaining to Lin Qi what is happening on the rivers and lakes, Lin Qi feels that if he doesn't come to be a catcher, maybe he will become the "Bai Xiaosheng" of the rivers and lakes!

We kept chatting until the others woke up, ate some dry food, and continued on our way.

The horses pull the prisoner cart, and the wheels of the cart keep turning, driving the prisoners forward!
