Of Si's six men in black, only three were left. Half of them were gone and the remaining three were no longer actively attacking. They were all injured to varying degrees and were fully on guard. Their gazes towards Gan Qie were filled with undisguised fear. If not for Si's presence and the lack of orders, they would have retreated.
Gan Qie wasn't unscathed either. Sharp arrowhead-like objects pierced his body but not a single drop of blood flowed out. Gan Qie didn't seem to notice it either and was unaffected.
This put a lot of pressure on Si's men. They didn't want to meet someone like Gan Qie. Had they known, they would've advised Si not to attack them.
The most despairing thing was when the opponent broke your best and proudest trick. Moreover, it was a direct attack without any other tricks. It made them feel like they were about to break down.
Wasn't Si feeling the same way?
The muscles on his arms were still twitching and the fingers holding the hilt were trembling. His black robe was in tatters and he looked like a beggar. Ever since Si took over as the leader of Si, he had never been in such a sorry state. However, his physical injuries weren't as severe as the psychological impact.
There was a flattened protrusion where his fingers held the hilt. There used to be a horizontal bar there.
The cross-shaped long-handled Xi was a weapon modified according to the writing of the character "min". The cross-shaped long handle symbolized the frame used to tie slaves. In the Xi organization, the guilty slaves would be tied to the cross-shaped frame and burned or punished in other ways.
But now, the long hilt in Si's hand was just a straight rod. Both ends were cut off by Shao Xuan.
The vertical hilt was connected to a large Xi. From afar, it looked more like a scythe.
Si regretted it now. Why didn't he listen to Ji Fang? He shouldn't have attacked when he knew his opponent's identity.
What was the most important thing in a war?
Information!
Si's understanding of Shao Xuan was limited. The Yi family, who had suffered a great loss, would never divulge Shao Xuan's affairs to outsiders. After all, it was the family's shame. Not many in the tribe knew about it, let alone outsiders.
As a result, Hui, who was used to being tyrannical, had his ambitions inflated. When he extended his claws to another continent and was about to make a big profit, he met a tough opponent and even made a move.
Back then, when Si extended his claws and fangs to another continent, this was what he had in mind. 'I'll capture a few of you as my slaves. Do you think you can just cross the ocean and attack me?'
In fact, Yanjiao really dared! Not only did he come over, but he also brought quite a number of people with him.
Before he made his move tonight, Si thought, 'I asked you guys to hand over Robber Seven but you guys refused. Don't blame me for making my move!' Capture them all as slaves and kill anyone who resists. You won't even have the chance to regret it!
However, reality proved that Si was wrong again. He personally took action with his trusted subordinates who were experienced in capturing slaves. Despite having an advantage in numbers, he was defeated so badly that even his cross-shaped handle was sliced into a stick!
This wasn't just because of Shao Xuan's strength. At the same time, it was also because of the knife in Shao Xuan's hand. During the fight, Si saw a cloud pattern on the knife. However, the fight was too fast and Shao Xuan's attacks were too fierce. There wasn't enough light so Si didn't have the time to take a closer look. However, with just one glance, Si was certain that the knife in Shao Xuan's hand was made by one of the Gongjia family's craftsmen!
Who in the Gongjia family made it? He had to go to the Gongjia family and ask for the truth!
Si's heart was filled with haze. His mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. The muscles on his face twitched and his expression contorted. His eyes were filled with hatred but in the end, his rationality won out. He chose to retreat. If this were to continue, forget about his three subordinates, even Si himself would be in grave danger.
It was rare for the leader of the number one slave-trading organization to choose to back down. Moreover, he was forced to back down.
"Retreat!" Si roared indignantly.
Finally, Si gave the order to retreat. The three injured men in black heaved a sigh of relief. Without further delay, they kept their chains and left! Finally, they didn't have to face that monster!
Si and his men came and left in a hurry.
"Chase?" Gan Qie asked.
"No need," Shao Xuan sheathed his knife and looked at the rock where Robber Seven had been. Only a rope cocoon was left there.
"He escaped," Gan Qie blamed himself. He was too focused on tormenting Robber Seven just now that the slippery robber had escaped! He was too arrogant. He thought that after his body became like this, no one could escape his nose. Even if there was only the slightest trace of blood, he would still be able to smell it. No one could escape from him.
However, Robber Seven had tricked him and successfully escaped right under his nose!
Robber Seven had changed the smell of his sweat to avoid Si's tracking insects. He had also changed the smell of his blood to avoid Gan Qie's detection. Moreover, Robber Seven didn't change completely all of a sudden. Instead, he quietly changed while Gan Qie was fighting with the men in black. Then, when no one was paying attention, he escaped at full speed.
The inside of the rope cocoon was wet. Robber Seven's sweat and blood were left on it. Hence, Gan Qie could sense the scent of Robber Seven there all along. Robber Seven had escaped when no one was paying attention.
"What do we do now?" Mu Fa asked Shao Xuan.
"Mu Fa, Ci Du, Qu Li, Lu Zhai, you guys go back first and follow the team to the Royal City," Shao Xuan said.
"You and Gan Qie aren't going back? Are you guys going after that robber? "Ci Du asked.
"No," Shao Xuan denied, "We're not going after Robber Seven. We're going after Si."
Shao Xuan's answer made Mu Fa's eyebrows twitch. He didn't ask any more questions. Although he was wary of Shao Xuan in the past, it wasn't as deep as it was now. To be able to force Si to retreat was far beyond Mu Fa's expectations. At the same time, this also strengthened Mu Fa's resolve and confidence to work with Yanjiao. He was a wise and great leader of the Long boat. Everything he did was for the tribe's benefit. He would choose any path that could make the tribe stronger and go further. Obviously, joining the Flaming Horn tribe was indeed a good choice.
After Mu Fa and the others left, Gan Qie cut open the rope cocoon that Robber Seven was tied up in. He carefully identified the scent inside, not missing a single detail.
"I was too careless …"
This was the first time Gan Qie encountered such a situation. However, there wouldn't be a next time. If he met Robber Seven again, he wouldn't let Robber Seven use this method to escape.
Not long after Shao Xuan and Gan Qie left, the sky began to brighten. The sun replaced the moon and shrouded the land.
Gradually, there were more and more noises.
A group of traders passed by and looked at the scene in front of them cautiously.
This wasn't the first time they had taken this route. Even if they couldn't remember every detail of the route, they could still roughly describe what it was like. However, the scene before them was completely different from what they remembered.
"Sand? Since when was there sand here? Did I remember wrongly? "One of the travellers asked hesitantly.
"I don't remember there being sand here either."
"You're all right." The leader gripped his sword and walked towards the sand. Although it wasn't sand, it looked as if it had been affected by a natural disaster. It was a ghastly sight. This reminded those who had experienced the disaster of the natural disaster. They couldn't forget the horrible memory no matter how hard they tried.
When they finally stepped onto the sand, the leader kicked something. He used his sword to push the sand away, revealing a dark arrowhead-shaped object.
"It's Bi An!"
This was a tool Bi An used to set up a trap. He looked around and found that there were many more of these things.
It was definitely Bi An!
Who has fought with the Bi'er here? Why didn't they have the time to collect the items?
He looked up into the distance. The trees nearby had already withered. There wasn't a single leaf on the branches. The branches looked as if they would break at the slightest touch. In the distance, although there were still some trees with green leaves, they were more or less yellowed. When the wind blew, many leaves would fall.
Taking a deep breath, the leader walked back to the group with wobbly legs.
"We need to be extra careful on this trip. Don't be careless!" The leader's low and stern voice trembled slightly. No matter who Bi An had fought with to create such a situation, it wasn't someone they could afford to mess with. They would avoid them if they could. He was prepared to give up on this trip if he noticed anything amiss.
On the other side.
Mu Fa and the others caught up with the main group.
"Shao Xuan and Caesar went after Si. He said to ask Caesar to keep an eye on the surroundings at night. Caesar can see things we can't. It's safer …" Mu Fa relayed Shao Xuan's instructions to Guigou.
The Longboat tribe surrounded Mu Fa and asked, "Boss, what's the legendary Si like? Is he very powerful? I heard that his knife is very strange. It was made by a long dead Gongjia craftsman. No one else in this world can make it. "
Mu Fa's expression was complicated. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Qu Li and Ci Du were the same. They found it funny and depressing. However, when they thought about it, they felt much better because they were on the same side. Anyway, they weren't enemies. That was good enough.
Lu Zhai chased away the people who surrounded them and asked Guigou in a low voice, "Do you still have it?"
"Of course, I've been carrying it with me." Guigou opened the animal skin bag containing the Chief's Bone Lock, intending to take out the item.
However, as soon as his hand reached in, Guigou's expression froze. He took it out and took out a piece of broken stone. He immediately had a bad feeling.
He flipped through the bag. Nothing?
He took it out again. There really wasn't anything!
Guigou opened the animal skin bag to its fullest and flipped it upside down. He widened his eyes and looked into the bag as if he wanted to scan every inch of it a hundred times. However, the truth was that the item in the bag was really gone.
One look at Guigou's expression and Lu Zhai knew what the result was. However, with the precedent of Robber Seven sneaking away under their noses, it wasn't so strange to see Guigou again. They were even surprised that Shao Xuan could predict this.
"Before we came, Elder Shao Xuan said that if Robber Seven steals the item back, there's no need to look for it," said Lu Zhai. Unfortunately, without the Chief's Bone Lock, they had one less bargaining chip.
At the same time, Robber Seven was lying on a tree branch with his legs crossed. He looked proud and praised himself for being so smart. Not only did he manage to escape, he even managed to steal the item back. When he thought about Yanjiao going to the Royal City, Robber Seven decided not to go to the Royal City for the time being. That way, he wouldn't meet those Yanjiao people.
Yes, he definitely wouldn't meet any Yanjiao people.
After the hypnosis, Robber Seven started to doze off. He started dreaming about being one of the top three robbers.
