The battle only lasted for half an hour before the Golden Hook Bandits were completely annihilated. Only their leader, Hei Ma Zi, who was at the upper stage of Enlightenment, managed to escape with his life.
After the battle, Ba Jin came to Yan Li's side and patted his shoulder. He smiled and said, "Good lad, you're straightforward enough. Let's drink together next time!"
Yan Li was puzzled and said, "Is this the Golden Hook Bandits that you mentioned?"
"Lad, you're too arrogant!" Ba Jin smiled and shook his head. "These bastards are only a small branch of the Golden Hook Bandits. Hei Ma Zi is only a small leader of the Golden Hook Bandits. They're all small thieves who can't even make it to the public. I'll tell you in detail next time. I'm old and useless. My bones are about to fall apart after fighting. I'm going to rest now. "
"I haven't felt so good in a long time!" Ji Hyun-woon walked over and patted Yan Li's shoulder heavily. He smiled and said, "How is it, pig head? Following me, your life has become ten times more interesting in an instant. The sun is shining brightly."
"Pig your head!" Yan Li glared at him with an unfriendly expression.
"Yes, I am a pig. Hahaha." Ji Xuanyun laughed and swaggered away after he finished speaking.
Bai Yuge walked over and also patted Yan Li's shoulder heavily. Before the latter could react, he said, "You did well. Keep up the good work." Then he walked away.
At this moment, another unaffiliated member of the Hunting Group walked over and wanted to pat Yan Li's shoulder. But when he was glared at, he awkwardly stopped. "There's someone there who insists on seeing you."
"Who?" Yan Li said.
"He said his name is Ku Daoshi." The unaffiliated said.
"I won't see him!" Yan Li was still angry.
"There's also a little girl with an exaggerated axe." The unaffiliated said.
Yan Li suddenly remembered who it was. He thought for a moment and said, "Take me there."
The bitter cold of the desert at night was a form of torture for ordinary mortals, so the people in the prisoner carts were all placed in the abandoned ancient town. There were more than thirty of them.
The unaffiliated cultivator led Yan Li to a shabby stone house and saw that Ku Daoshi and the little girl were placed on a small blanket. There was a bonfire in the room, which could barely keep them warm.
Each of them was holding a bowl of hot soup and drinking it.
When Ku Daoshi saw him, it was as if he had seen his savior. "Master Yan, save me …"
Yan Li first looked at the little girl and found that although the latter looked a little embarrassed, she was not hurt. Then, he looked at Ku Daoshi, who looked more and more poor. "Aren't you saved? Also, why did you come to this godforsaken place? It's fine if you die, but don't implicate others. "
"Do you think I want to?" Ku Daoshi said with a bitter face what he had experienced these days.
It turned out that after parting with Yan Li, Ku Daoshi still took the little girl to "tell fortunes". He was so unlucky that he finally met a troublemaker from Tianyi Sword Pavilion in Jinyang City. Ku Daoshi couldn't cheat him of money, so he scolded him in anger. As a result, he was chased from Northern Tang to King Wei's territory.
When he arrived at King Wei's territory, he didn't expect that the man was a disciple of an important figure in Tianyi Sword Pavilion. He wouldn't stop until he killed him, so he called some Jianghu heroes to "arrest" him.
If he didn't know some special skills to save his life, he would have become a corpse. As a last resort, he had to break into the desert to avoid trouble. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the Golden Hook Bandits again.
"Forget about Tianyi Sword Pavilion. If it weren't for her pity, I would have done the same thing as them." Yan Li said lightly, "Why did the Golden Hook Bandits catch you?"
"I don't know!" Ku Daoshi said with a bitter face, "I'm so unlucky that I can't even drink water! But I heard that they used me as bait … Let's not talk about this first. Master Yan, you must save me! "
"Save you?" Yan Li said, "I can't even protect myself. How can I save you?"
"At least in the desert, protect me for a while. It's terrible here …" Ku Daoshi said.
"They are already discussing how to send you out," Yan Li said.
"No, no, no," Ku Daoshi said in horror, "I don't want to go out. I don't want to go out. I will die!"
"If you go with us, you will die faster." Yan Li said coldly.
"Don't leave me, Master Yan. Don't leave me … You see, I still have a child to raise … I'm already miserable …" Ku Daoshi said with tears and snot. He almost hugged Yan Li's leg.
Yan Li looked at the little Taoist boy who was trembling.
The little Taoist boy struggled to stand up and bowed to Yan Li.
Yan Li's heart softened. He frowned and said, "Fine, if you want to follow us, then follow us. I may not be able to protect you. I can only try my best."
"Thank you, thank you …"
…
There was a small oasis six hundred miles away from the Fairy Town. It was very small, only enough for a dozen horses to drink water side by side. It was just a small puddle surrounded by some cacti.
But in such a small oasis, there were hundreds of horses stopped. Under the illumination of the torches, the shadows of people were moving.
In addition to these shadows, there were hundreds of prison carriages that were exactly the same as the ones that Yan Li had rescued. The people inside were frozen unconscious and could not wake up.
There was a big tent in the center of the oasis. In the middle of the tent sat a man dressed like a scholar. His forehead was wrapped with a thick sackcloth, and bright red blood could be faintly seen in the middle of his forehead.
"Why hasn't the black pockmarked man arrived yet?" The scholar looked a little impatient. His face was unkind, and there was a frightening light in his eyes.
This person was called Evil Scholar Yang Zhi, the second leader of the Golden Hook Robbers. He was the only one in the tent without a golden hook on his hand.
"Maybe he's in trouble," a bearded man said.
At this time, a voice came from outside. "Reporting to the Second Leader, the black pockmarked man has arrived."
"Tell him to get in here!" The scholar growled in a low voice.
Of course, the black pockmarked man did not really get in, but he looked like he was scared out of his wits. He knelt on the ground and said, "Second Leader, you have to help me!"
"Where's your share?" The scholar only cared about one thing.
"It, it was taken away!" the black pockmarked man said in a trembling voice.
The scholar suddenly calmed down and said, "What did I tell you?"
"You said that each leader should catch thirty people and meet here in five days …" the black pockmarked man said in a trembling voice.
"Do you know what price was paid for the information that the tail of the Desolate Poison can cure the Big Leader?" The scholar said lightly.
The black pockmarked man prostrated on the ground and said, "You kowtowed to Second Mother Wen a hundred times …"
"You should know the rules of the Golden Hook Robbers," the scholar said lightly.
"I know …" The black pockmarked man clenched his teeth and waved the hook in his left hand. He cut off his ear and blood immediately flowed out.
The scholar nodded and said, "Now tell me, who dared to touch the things of the Golden Hook Robbers?"
"It was Young Master Wei!" The black pockmarked man said, "But he was only an accomplice. The one who instigated the others was called Yan Li. I remember he was a wanted criminal!"
