"Actually, it's not like we can't spread the news," Lin Mengya said after thinking for a while.
"We just need to think of a way to get Uncle Huo and Huo Xiao out of it."
She could understand Uncle Huo's thinking.
No matter what, once the bandits at the 13th checkpoint became powerful, the aboriginal clansmen would be the first to bear the brunt of the attack.
Uncle Huo simply didn't want too many innocent people to be implicated.
"But, what if those people are caught and sell them out?"
Aunt Fang frowned. She was still most worried about her husband and child.
But if she had the strength to spare, she would certainly want to save the others.
Lin Mengya only raised the corner of her mouth and smiled meaningfully. "As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious. With our manpower, although we can't catch all of those bandits, I'm afraid it's not a problem to catch one or two of them."
Huo Xiao's eyes flashed slightly.
Her thoughts coincided with his own.
Therefore, Huo Xiao asked to lead the team to catch the bandits they encountered on the way.
Just as night fell, five men in ragged clothes sat around the fire.
They looked greedily at the rabbit meat being roasted over the fire.
Unfortunately, there was too little rabbit meat.
If there were only the five of them, each of them would probably only get a little.
The strongest man among the five looked at his four companions warily. He licked his lips, and his hoarse voice sounded like a broken bellow.
He said, "Brothers, it wasn't easy for us to escape from that godforsaken place. Instead of hiding in this godforsaken place, I think it's better for us to kill our way out and scare those stupid aristocratic families out of their wits!"
The other four people didn't respond immediately.
Although they had all escaped from the 13th checkpoint, they were just fishing in troubled waters and weren't part of the main force.
To them, their only wish was to successfully escape from the aboriginals and never come back to this godforsaken place again!
Obviously, some people didn't think so.
"Big Brother, don't you think this godforsaken place is too strange? I think we should leave as soon as possible … "
Next to the strong man was a skinny man who looked like a monkey.
But in the next moment, he stared blankly at the man he called Big Brother, and then, he fell to the ground.
On his chest, there was a rusty dagger stuck in his chest!
"Do you have the same thoughts as him?"
The muscular man raised his eyes and looked dangerously at the other three.
The three of them were scared out of their wits and shook their heads.
"No, no! Boss, we'll listen to you! "
"Yes, yes, yes. Boss is right!"
"It's just that we don't have enough manpower. Boss, don't be angry. I'm just thinking that we should be more reliable. This way, we can get more good stuff."
The last person's words had touched the heart of the strong man.
Ever since he came out of the thirteenth trial, the man had been suppressing his anger.
Back then, he was also a notorious bandit.
Unfortunately, he was betrayed and ended up as a prisoner.
As for the days in the thirteenth trial, even someone with a heart of steel like him couldn't help but turn pale when he thought about it. He didn't dare to think too much about it.
Now, he had finally escaped, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
But after all, he had a brain.
He knew that even if he went with the main group, he would only be a small fry charging into the enemy lines.
So, he might as well plan for himself.
"I've already thought of a way to solve this."
He pretended to be profound as he picked up the only roasted rabbit.
Although the other three had shrunk into a ball, they couldn't help but look at the rabbit in his hand and swallow their saliva.
They had no choice!
They had been starving for a few days. The roasted rabbit might not have any taste, but to them, it was already a delicacy.
"As long as the three of you follow me and work hard, I guarantee that you'll have a good life in the future."
The man looked disdainfully at their drooling but timid gazes. Suddenly, he changed the topic and pointed at the man who had just died and threatened.
"But if you dare to be like him, I'll personally break your necks!"
The three of them immediately shook their heads and said, "We don't dare, we don't dare."
"Tsk, the rest is for you."
The muscular man raised his hand and threw the rabbit that was almost finished into the fire.
The next moment.
The three of them were like three stray dogs. They didn't care about the burning temperature and rushed to snatch it.
"Mine!"
"Bullsh * t, it's obviously mine!"
"Tsk — — Smells so good!"
The muscular man stood up and looked down at the three of them fighting over the rabbit. The coldness in his eyes deepened.
His gaze turned to the corpse. Suddenly, the corner of his lips curled up.
"Don't rush. Isn't there still meat?"
The three of them froze. Then, they saw the muscular man kick the skinny monkey's corpse.
Was he asking them to eat human flesh?!
Instantly, the three of them had fear in their eyes.
They hadn't been in the thirteenth gate for a long time, so they hadn't seen the cruelest side of it. Although they still had bad habits, they weren't as vicious as the muscular man.
"Tsk." The man sneered and said, "If you don't fill your stomach, you'll only be treated as food by others. If you don't eat now, you'll be eaten by others tomorrow. "
His voice wasn't loud, but it made the three of them change their expressions.
However, they still had a trace of humanity. Even if their stomachs were growling, they still couldn't treat the corpses of their own kind as food.
But the muscular man was different.
He was an evil spirit that crawled out of hell.
Cannibalism? Heh, he had seen things much more powerful than this.
"Cowards, if you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it!"
The man's eyes, hidden under his messy hair, were bloodshot. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time he had eaten his own kind.
The three of them hugged each other and trembled. They wanted to cry but no tears came out.
If they had known that this big brother was so fierce, they would have been locked up as laborers!
The muscular man grabbed the skinny monkey's ankle like a leopard dragging its prey away and swaggered towards the river.
The remaining three trembled uncontrollably and almost vomited.
"Why don't we … run?" Someone suggested.
"Run? Where can we run to? What if he catches us? Wouldn't that be the end of us? "Someone was already scared out of his wits. He didn't even dare to run.
"What if he forces us to eat … to eat …"
The three of them suddenly became like three quails, trembling uncontrollably.
Who knew that at this moment, there would suddenly be a rustling sound coming from the forest next to them.
The three of them were so scared that their faces turned pale. They were afraid that the ferocious man-eating big brother had returned and was going to drag them away as food.
Unexpectedly, it was two men in black who were supporting each other and stumbling as they walked.
The two of them didn't expect that there would be people here.
Their eyes flashed fiercely. The next moment, the three of them immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Big, big brother! You guys must have escaped from the thirteenth gate, right? What a coincidence, we're all brothers in trouble! "
The three of them suddenly felt as if they had met their savior and wanted to go forward and ask for help.
But the eyes of the two who were supporting each other became even colder.
They didn't know the three of them, but from the way they were dressed, they should have escaped from the thirteenth gate during the chaos.
Unfortunately, the three of them had discovered their whereabouts.
They definitely couldn't be left alive!
The man who first crawled out and tried to get close to them did not notice the arrival of the grim reaper.
He was talking incessantly, trying to make the other party sympathize with him so that he could help them.
"Speaking of which, the three of us were also undeserved victims! The three of us originally came to the aboriginals to do business, but who knew that we would become traitors when we woke up and be thrown into that godforsaken place to do manual labor! "
"If the two of you don't mind, the three of us are willing to pay 500, no! One thousand taels, I beg the two of you to escort us out! "
"Yes, yes, yes. Although the three of us aren't big shots, the families behind us have already joined a big chamber of commerce. It's the Gong family's big chamber of commerce. Do the two of you know about it? "
The one who was covering his chest quietly blocked his companion's weapon and asked calmly, "Gong family? Which Gong family? "
Seeing that there was a way out, that person hurriedly explained, "Which other Gong family could it be? It's the most powerful Gong family!"
Their family was only a small one. However, because of their good luck, they were the first to join the big chamber of commerce when it was first established. As a result, they made a lot of money.
The big chamber of commerce also provided generous benefits to the first generation members.
Therefore, the three of them could use the big chamber of commerce's name to do business everywhere.
Now, they wanted to blow things up even more.
"The two of you, if you can escort us home safely, I guarantee that I can recommend you to the big chamber of commerce. At that time, you will naturally have a bright future!"
The two of them looked at each other.
Then, the injured one suddenly changed his attitude and asked a lot of questions about the Gong family and the big chamber of commerce.
The three brothers on the other side also gradually relaxed their vigilance. They poured out everything that should and shouldn't be said. Most importantly, they had already told the other party their identities and trump cards.
"So that's how it is. It seems that with the recommendation of your family head, the two of us will be able to enter the big chamber of commerce smoothly. Maybe we can even meet the Gong family?"
The injured man said calmly.
However, he secretly gestured to his companions.
"That's for sure! However, I heard that the people from the Gong family are all very powerful. I'm afraid that people like us can't meet them. "
Oh no, he had blown his cover!
The one who was the most eloquent among the three brothers secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
What kind of family was the Gong family? People like them would probably not be able to meet them in their lifetime.
However, he still had to give the two of them some hope. Otherwise, they would be in trouble if they did not accompany them.
"I understand."
The injured man said softly. Then, he gently took a step back.
The companion beside him also let go of the hand that was supporting him.
