In the new year, buds have just sprouted on the branches, and the breeze blows, and the branches sway, and they are delusional about their luxuriant branches.

The three of them walked slowly towards the depths of the woods, very cautious. The moonlight shines through the branches that lack the blocking of leaves, shining on the ground, and the shadows of the trees are jagged and somewhat eerie.

After walking about a mile, Ah Xiu realized that this forest was far deeper than he imagined.

The footprints that followed along the way have long been missing, and the three of them are not masters of reconnaissance, so it is difficult to judge the other party's course of action through clues, so they can only grope into the depths of the forest very helplessly, and whether they can find anything depends on luck.

Just as the three of them were a little discouraged and wanted to return the same way, a glimmer of light in the distance attracted Ah Xiu's attention.

"Sarthead, look there. Ah Xiu pointed to the point of light and whispered.

Shi Xingang and Lin Xuewu looked in the direction of Ah Xiu's finger, glanced at each other, and Shi Xingang said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

The point of light looked not far away, but the three of them were afraid of exposing their tracks, so they didn't dare to walk quickly, and the time for a cup of tea came closer, and they hid behind the tree.

Ah Xiu looked intently, but saw that this place was relatively empty, and there was a bonfire burning in the middle, which was the source of the light. Around the campfire sat a circle of people, all with their heads bowed, wearing black cloaks, and their faces were invisible.

Ah Xiu counted the six people in total, and suddenly remembered that there were six unknown guests staying in the account book of the inn five days ago, so he secretly wondered if it was these people.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing them move, nor did they speak, Ah Xiu was puzzled, and saw five of them raise their arms up at the same time, and they didn't know what to say in their mouths, and after a moment they put down their hands, and then moved from side to side, as if stretching their muscles.

Ah Xiu cast an inquiring glance at Lin Xuewu beside him, but Lin Xuewu just shook his head, looking a little dazed.

At this moment, I heard a voice say, "Sixth, what's the movement over there at the inn?" The voice was very gloomy, but it could be heard that it was a man.

"Back to Senior Brother, I just looked by the window, and there were a lot of people in the inn, and it looked like they were darts. Another voice said.

Ah Xiu heard that the voice should have come from the man in black who had not raised his hand before, and secretly guessed that the figure he had found on the west window before should be him.

"How many of them are there?" asked a dark voice.

"There are twenty or thirty people in total," the man in black, known as the sixth man, paused and continued, "Senior brother, shall we do it?"

The senior brother didn't answer, but turned his face to look at the person next to him and asked, "Second sister, what do you think?"

"No, there are too many of them, and it takes some effort to dart, and now that Uncle Shi and his old man are not there, we may not be able to get any benefits if we act rashly, in case one escapes, we will all have to be exposed." The second sister said.

Ah Xiu followed the sound and looked, but saw that although the second sister who spoke was wearing a cloak, her figure was much more petite than the others.

Ah Xiu could hear it clearly, it seemed that these people were discussing how to deal with their own dart team, and they felt a little nervous in their hearts, and they held the handle of the knife tightly with one hand.

Ah Xiu's slight movements were seen by Lin Xuewu, Lin Xuewu is an old man after all, although he also heard a palpitation, but he can still maintain his composure, he patted Ah Xiu lightly, signaling not to panic.

Shi Xingang, who was hidden behind another tree not far away, was expressionless, just listening carefully.

I only heard another voice sound, "Second sister, you are also too cautious, there is nothing that the people of our Demon Spirit Sect dare not do, there are more bandits in the previous group, and they were not accepted by us." ”

"Old Five, do you have a long brain, Uncle Shi led us to do it that time, and the people who had bought them before were drugged, so they were quietly beaten, can it be the same as this time?" The woman's voice was a little angry.

"Second sister, I see that your courage is getting smaller and smaller, if you don't dare, I'll go by myself. ”

"You dare, if you want to die yourself, no one will stop you, don't bother us all. ”

"You ......"

"Alright, don't make any noise. The voice of the senior brother sounded, this senior brother seemed to have a very high prestige, everyone was afraid of him, and immediately stopped talking, only to hear the senior brother continue: "Old five, your second senior sister is more experienced than you, she is right, this time we must not act rashly, don't forget what the senior uncle and his old man ordered before leaving, if the plan is broken, you can't eat and go around." ”

The fifth old man said "en" and stopped answering.

"Senior brother, what do you say is hidden in that trapped dragon mountain, which is worthy of such a stirring up by Uncle Shi. The woman asked.

"I don't know the specifics, but there must be something good, Uncle Shi and we are just standing in the front, and Master and Elder Dharma Protector will also come later. The elder brother replied.

"Then what did Uncle Shi ask us to arrest those people for?" the woman asked again, and Ah Xiu could vaguely hear it, and there seemed to be some unbearability in her voice.

"Master and Uncle naturally have their own ideas, let's not speculate. "Senior brother said.

It seems that no one in the Hungry Tiger Ridge and the inn has anything to do with them, Ah Xiu thought to himself.

The few people chatted a few more words, and the three of them didn't hear any useful news, but it seemed that they didn't plan to do anything to their own dart team, Lin Xuewu looked at Shi Xingang, and saw Shi Xingang wave his hand and signal the three of them to go back.

A few people quietly turned around and walked back more than 20 meters, and they heard Lin Xuewu ask: "Shi Daotou, what should we do, do you want to call everyone to hurry immediately?"

Shi Xingang said in a deep voice: "Let's go back first, we can't sleep tonight, but we can't leave now, so as not to make them suspicious." ”

"Are you leaving?" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, and the three of them played a clever role at the same time, and when they looked back, they saw a black-robed man standing not far away and looking at the three of them coldly.

Perhaps alarmed by this man's voice, several black-clothed men around the campfire quickly got up and approached, surrounding the three of them.

"Senior brother, if I hadn't come out to relieve myself and found them just now, I would have really let these boys slip away. "Listen to the voice, it should be the old five.

"What did you all hear?" the senior brother asked coldly.

Shi Xingang must be an old Jianghu, stepped forward and said: "A few friends, a few of us are just passing by here, and we have no intention of disturbing, please give me a face, let me go back, and I will come to thank you another day." ”

"Let you go back?" do you really dare to think about it", Lao Wuyin said predictively: "You came to this forest in the middle of the night and said that you were passing by, hehe, who believes it?"

Shi Xingang knew that he couldn't be good today, but he still said: "Everyone, a few of us are from the Huwei Dart Bureau, and we have a task this time, let's not turn around, and ask a few friends to be accommodating." ”

"Friend, there are no friends of yours here", the fifth turned to a black-robed man and said, "Sixth, it seems that you are not good at work, so let people follow." ”

The sixth man was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.

Then the leader spoke: "We didn't want to touch you, but you came with you, and I can't keep you, whether you hear anything or not." ”

When the three of them heard this, they knew that a battle was inevitable, so they simply went out, and each pulled out his weapon and waited for it. I only heard Shi Xingang say loudly: "In this case, it's useless to say more, but it's not so easy to spare my life, let's do it." ”

Ah Xiu had never seen this kind of formation, but fortunately, he had suffered a lot of sins before he was rescued by Lin Wancheng, and he almost met the king of Hades several times, but he didn't seem scared at the moment, holding a knife in both hands, ready to fight at any time.

The senior brother smiled coldly, raised his hand, and said, "Do it." The rest of the people immediately rushed forward, two people fought Shi Xingang, two people surrounded Lin Xuewu, probably seeing that Ah Xiu was young, only one person rushed towards Ah Xiu, it was the old five, and the senior brother was full of confidence, standing in place and watching.

The fifth old man used a strange blade, more than two feet long, like a deer's antlers, but it flashed with cold light, and it was very sharp. Seeing him stabbing at him, Ah Xiu hurriedly raised the knife rung, but he used one of the styles in the Cloud Breaking Knife Technique, and with a "ding" sound, Ah Xiu took two steps back, only to feel that the other party's strength was better than his own, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he danced the Cloud Breaking Knife Method to fight.

Ah Xiu has only been practicing the knife for more than a month, and he has no actual combat experience, the first three or five moves are good, and the back is chaotic, and he barely insists on seven or eight moves in front of the old five, so he can only dodge by instinct.

And Shi Xingang and Lin Xuewu's side is not very good, both of them use a single knife, and they are facing four strange types, that is, they are dwarfed by only one person, and now they are even more difficult with one enemy and two.

The old five saw that the young man in front of him was a rookie, far from his opponent, and he was sadistic, and he didn't plan to end the battle so quickly, but to kill the opponent slowly, the antler-shaped blade did not greet Ah Xiu, but just went to the meaty place, and hit seven or eight more moves, Ah Xiu was stabbed in five or six places, and the blood stained his body, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, staring at the blood-red eyes and the old five desperately. However, the strength is not good, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't move the old five cents, you just can't do it if you want to fight together, and I feel very sad and angry.

A scream of "ah" came, Ah Xiu looked with his spare eyes, and found that it was Lin Xuewu who was hit in the thigh with a hook, blood flowed sideways, and the flesh turned out, and the wound was half a foot long, I don't know if it hurt the bones.

Lin Xuewu was really a man, one leg was so seriously injured, he still stood on the other leg, wielding a single knife and continuing to fight with the other party.

Shi Xingang's side was also very bad, he was injured in two or three places by some weapon on his body, and the injuries were not light, so he could only grit his teeth and fight hard.
