C178 Bandits
C178 Bandits
The military advisor said that we should search like a carpet and look for Seventh Brother. This is not realistic at all. Seventh Brother has been gone for less than half a day. With his speed, he might have already left Daming Mansion. I don't know where he has gone and there are no clues. How can we find a needle in a haystack like this?
Besides, Heihu Mountain was in a troubled period. There were fierce people hunting us, the leaders of the bandits. Old Six, Old Eight, and Old Two had all died in the hands of the enemy.
Think about it, what does that person's killing speed represent?
He has never been injured when fighting with any of the leaders! He did not even need to rest or recover to be able to kill three leaders in such a short period of time.
One must know. . .
Under these three leaders, there were other Mountain Sea Stage Martial Cultivator warriors. How many people were there in total?
Don't you have an estimate of that person's strength? "
“. . . ”
Upon hearing these words, the Green Water Lion fell silent. Then, he let out a long breath and said, "It's a Nirvana Stage. "
"Even if it's not a Nirvana Stage, it must have sent out dozens of Mountain Sea Stage Martial Cultivator warriors. A huge army is pressing down on us, and only then can we crush them so quickly and violently. "
After saying that, the smiling tiger turned his head and looked at the Heihu Mountain behind him. He sighed and said, "The Heihu Mountain's big ship can't be driven anymore. It's going to sink soon. Do you want to stay silent with this ship, or do you want to pack your things now and leave by yourself?"
"One of your divine souls is still in the Long Lantern Hall. Aren't you afraid that the military advisor will follow your divine soul and catch you?"
The Green Water Lion asked in a deep voice.
Smiling Tiger sneered and said: "The military advisor can't even protect himself now, how can he care about us? Furthermore, although that wisp of divine soul can be tracked, there is also a distance limit. Once it exceeds a prefecture, it will be useless. As long as we walk far enough, the Everlasting Lamp will naturally extinguish. "
His words had obviously been carefully considered.
"You are not righteous. "
The Green Water Lion spoke in a deep voice.
Smiling Tiger smiled and said, "If I were loyal, I wouldn't have lived until today. I don't know where I would have died long ago. Anyway, I've already told you these words. Even if I'm benevolent and righteous, it's up to you whether you listen or not. I'm going to go back and pack my things now and prepare to run away. We'll never meet again! "
After saying that, the smiling tiger leapt up. Its body had already disappeared into the vast mountain range, leaving the Green Water Lion alone on the spot. It fell into deep thought.
"Heh. "
After a long while, the Green Water Lion let out a cold laugh and shook its head. It had already made the same decision in its heart.
Laughing Tiger was right. The ship was about to sink. If they didn't leave now, they would be drowned.
The reason why the smiling tiger reminded him wasn't because of good intentions.
Between bandits, what kind of good intentions were there?
The Smiley Face Tiger was just afraid. If he was the only one who ran away, and if the Heihu Mountain ship didn't sink afterwards, he would be hunted down by Yun Zhonglong.
And if he wasn't the only one who escaped at the last moment. . . Then the target would be separated. If Yun Zhonglong wanted to settle accounts after the fall, his ability would also be lacking.
So, in the end, everything was for his own safety.
After figuring this out, Without any hesitation, the Green Water Lion returned to its hiding place and took out all the treasures that it had accumulated over the years.
He couldn't stay in the Daming Mansion any longer. For something like a bandit, a spear strike could be exchanged for a different place. Especially for someone like him who had betrayed them and left, he couldn't stay too close to them. This time, if he didn't leave two prefectural cities and above, the Green Water Lion wouldn't be at ease. Only when he was far enough away could he feel a sense of security.
After exiting the cave, a huge package appeared on the Green Water Lion's body. It contained all of his belongings, including all kinds of precious Demon Beast Crystal Cores. There were all kinds of Tianxia Money Shops of different grades, including banknotes from Tianxia Money Shop, as well as some Earth rank martial skills and cultivation techniques.
"Ai!"
With a deep sigh, the Green Water Lion looked in the direction of the Heihu Mountain, and prepared to leave.
However, behind him, a figure appeared out of nowhere. It quietly stuck close to him and put a black dagger into the back of the Green Water Lion's waist.
With a 'pfft' sound, the Green Water Lion's body trembled. The dagger pierced through his flesh and stabbed into the Green Water Lion's waist. The pain caused him to unconsciously burst out with spiritual energies, forcing him away and landing thirty feet away.
"Who is it?!"
The Green Water Lion furiously roared like a furious lion. However, its heart was beating frantically because it was afraid that the person who killed Sixth Brother, Eighth Brother, and Second Brother would come knocking on its door.
However, when it turned its head, it was stunned. Because, it knew the person who ambushed it. It was none other than his good Third Brother, the Laughing Tiger.
"Brother, I'm sorry. "
Laughing Tiger still had a smile on his face. He held the dagger with a smile and used a handkerchief to gently wipe the blood stains on the dagger. Under Green Water Lion's shocked gaze, his smile became even more brilliant.
"It's actually you. . . It's actually you. . . What are you doing. . . Ah?!"
The Green Water Lion roared furiously.
A mocking expression appeared on the smiling tiger's face. He said, "Don't you understand now? I guess you think I'm letting you go. Tsk tsk tsk, you're all bandits now. Why are you still so naive? Forget it. We're brothers after all. Put down the things on your body, and I'll let you go. "
Begging for money!
A smiling tiger begging for money, it is the money of Green Water Lions!
Since he had decided to escape Heihu Mountain, he would definitely save up enough money before leaving. However, the tiger had a huge appetite. The things he had saved up were not enough to satisfy him. Hence, he set his eyes on the Fourth Manager's Green Water Lion.
Since he had persuaded the Green Water Lion to leave with him, the Green Water Lion would naturally go and take away all his treasures. As for the Laughing Tiger, he did not leave either. Instead, he hid in the dark and returned. He followed behind the Green Water Lion and waited for the Green Water Lion to take out all the treasures. Only then did he suddenly attack and kill.
“. . . ”
The Green Water Lion inhaled a deep breath of cold air. Only now did it realize what kind of evil plot it had fallen into. At the same time, it could not help but feel the hair on its back stand up for the malicious intentions of the smiling tiger.
The smiling tiger chuckled and said: "Brother, don't hesitate too much. I don't have much patience. If it wasn't for the fact that I was in a hurry to escape, I would have killed you and eradicated your roots. Then, I would take your money and run away. Now, I'm willing to spare your life. This is a rare opportunity. You must be extremely rare. "
"Pui!"
The Green Water Lion spat on the ground and said fiercely: "Our strength is only fifty-fifty. If we really fight, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose!"
"Is that so?"
The smiling tiger shook the dagger that was painted black in his hand and said, "You should know what the Hundred Herb Wither is, right? This dagger is covered with poison. At this moment, the poison is already acting up. Normally, the two of us would have a fifty-fifty chance of winning, but now, as long as we drag this on, no matter who wins or loses, you will die without a doubt. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the Green Water Lion's heart sank. It could also feel that the blood in its wound had started to coagulate. A tyrannical poison was spreading within its body.
Indeed. . .
What the Smiley Face Tiger said was right. If he chose not to comply and fought with him, regardless of whether he lost or won in the end, the result would be. . . There was only one result. That was death.
He lost, he was killed, he won, the poison attacked his heart, and he was poisoned to death.
"So, put the money down. "
Smiling Tiger pointed at the Green Water Lion and said, "I only want money. After this, you and I will go our separate ways and never see each other again. You don't have to worry about me attacking you after I take the money. You know that. I am in a hurry to leave. There was no time for that. And there's nothing else on you that's worth my effort anymore. "
"Laughing Tiger, I'll f * cking f * ck you!"
The Green Water Lion cursed.
Then, his chest heaved up and down violently, and he excitedly grabbed onto the bundle on his body. He suddenly threw it in a certain direction.
Woosh ~ ~ ~
The package flew toward the east, while the Green Water Lion's body was fleeing toward the west at the fastest speed possible.
However, the Green Water Lion wasn't just running away. After throwing out the package, the Green Water Lion struck out with its palm at the same time. It wasn't aiming at the Smiley Face Tiger, but at the treasure in the package.
He could choose to throw away the treasure in exchange for his own life. However, if he let the Smiley Face Tiger eat it so easily, he would still be unwilling. Hence, this attack created trouble for the Smiley Face Tiger.
"Son of a b * tch, you don't make me worry at all. "
The Smiley Face Tiger cursed with a cold smile. Then, he similarly struck out with his palm, neutralizing the palm force that was sent out by the Green Water Lion.
The package landed on the ground. A series of clanging sounds were emitted. The Smiley Face Tiger revealed a genuine smile upon seeing this. He flew forward and placed all the treasures on his body. After which, he dived into the forest and disappeared.
. . .
On the other side, on the Heihu Mountain.
Yun Zhonglong gathered all the people in the Heihu Mountain and gathered outside the Long Lantern Hall, but no matter how he waited, he couldn't wait for the Third Master, the Smiley Face Tiger, and the Fourth Master's Green Water Lion.
"Why did you delay it for so long?"
Yun Zhonglong frowned.
The advisor was pacing back and forth in the room. When he heard this, his body suddenly shook and an ugly expression appeared on his face. He pursed his lips.
Then, he walked quickly to the depths of the Long Lantern Hall and grabbed the two lights that represented the Smiley Face Tiger and the Green Water Lion in his hands, urging the power of his soul to sense them.
"They ran away! They are not going in the direction of their respective strongholds!"
The advisor suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with extreme anger, as if he had been betrayed. He was furious, but at the same time, slightly aggrieved.
"What?!"
Yun Zhonglong's heart sank as well. He said furiously, "Third Brother and Fourth Brother ran away at this critical moment?! Where did they go? These two damn traitors! "
" Southwest and northeast direction. . . "
The advisor's heart was filled with despair. He slowly closed his eyes and said, "We can't catch up. The two of them went. They are not going in the same direction. It is impossible for us to split up our forces to chase after them. Let them go. "
