The unforeseen event happened in an instant.
The man who had been talking non-stop and was about to trick the two brothers into buying goods only felt a gust of cold wind pass by. Then, a warm liquid suddenly splashed on his face.
The man was stunned. He subconsciously touched his wet face, but he did not expect that a thick smell of blood would rush to the top of his head.
In the next moment, his face became incomparably pale.
This was because behind him, the two brothers who had gone through thick and thin with him had now been killed and were lying on the ground as corpses.
He immediately felt his limbs go weak. He knelt on the ground with a "plop" and pleaded while trembling, "Two, two big brothers … No, grandfather! You can ask for as much money as you want, but please, please, please don't kill me! "
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Wasn't he going out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den?
In any case, he was going to die today!
The one in charge of killing raised his knife and walked step by step towards the trembling man.
Just as he was about to raise his knife and send him to accompany his brothers, he heard other noises coming from the forest.
The knife stopped at the man's neck. He knelt on the ground while trembling, but his eyes were darting around.
Could it be that man-eating villain had returned?
Sigh! At this juncture, he did not know whether it was a good or bad thing for the other party to return.
If they were to fight, he might be able to fish in troubled waters and escape during the chaos.
But if they all wanted his life, wouldn't it be even worse for him?
When he thought about how he would turn into a white skeleton and be roasted on a fire to become someone's food, he did not have any other thoughts.
He steeled his heart and thought that he might as well just slit his own throat. He was going to die sooner or later anyway.
Unexpectedly, a man who was dressed like the two of them jumped out from the forest. However, there was a piercing wound on his right eye, which had cut off half of his eyebrow on the right side.
He lowered his voice and said to the injured man, "Big brother, it's bad! Someone has already followed the trail and chased us here! "
The injured man frowned and quickly asked, "How many people do they have? How strong are they? Can the three of us rush out? "
Half-eyebrow shook his head and said with a serious expression, "I didn't dare to reveal my whereabouts in front of them, but they easily destroyed the traps we left on the road. If it was just the three of us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape."
The injured leader furrowed his brows even tighter.
They didn't go through so much trouble to escape just to give up halfway.
If he couldn't fight it head-on, then why not …
The injured boss suddenly turned his gaze towards Talkative Man.
The latter was so scared that he trembled like a quail. At this moment, he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it so that he would not be targeted by these terrifying people.
"You will continue to hide and be our external aid," the injured man ordered Half Eyebrow.
The latter responded in a low voice, then turned around and ran into the forest.
His movement technique was very strange, as if he could easily blend in with his surroundings.
If Lin Mengya were here, she would probably be able to see some clues.
The method used by the other party was similar to the System's concealment function, but it wasn't as powerful as the System.
However, if it weren't for his two companions dragging him down, it would be extremely easy for him to hide himself.
The injured man covered his chest and let out a long sigh. He didn't look too good.
He exchanged glances with the companion who was holding a long knife against Talkative Man.
The latter quietly pushed him away, then dragged the two corpses away, one in each hand.
Talkative Man was the only one left. He held his head with his arms and mumbled something. It seemed like he was really scared out of his wits.
"If you promise me one thing, I promise I won't kill you. What do you think?" The injured man said.
.....
"Master Huo, our men have discovered the whereabouts of those people ahead. They are now in the forest. We can surround them from both sides and guarantee that they won't be able to escape."
Huo Xiao stood on a thick banyan tree, overlooking the large stretch of forest.
The men that Gong Ya had given him were indeed very powerful.
Not only were they highly skilled in martial arts, but they also cooperated very well with each other and carried out his orders very well.
Now, he could slowly understand why a person of Murong Xi's status could be so hell-bent on Gong Ya and remain infatuated with her.
Perhaps it was because of her beauty, but to him, the spiritual resonance between the two was more important.
They could complement each other, and they could trust each other to protect their backs.
They were not only the most intimate lover, but also the most solid support and companions who could go through thick and thin together.
To be honest, he was now more and more envious of the two of them.
That's right, it was the two of them, not just Murong Xi.
His feelings for Gong Ya had not changed, but he had been subdued by the feelings between the two of them.
Now, he returned his thoughts to the capture operation.
"No need." He leaped down and landed on his mount, then coldly ordered.
"Just give it your all. There's a cliff behind this forest. They won't be able to escape even if they grow wings."
Moreover, from the clues he had obtained over the past few days, the other party had been going in circles in the forest. Along the way, he had also found traces of herbs that had been picked.
After being identified by his subordinates who were proficient in medicinal herbs, they were herbs with the ability to stop bleeding and regenerate muscles.
In other words, the other party did not intend to escape. They were looking for an opportunity to recover from their injuries.
After all, if they wanted to leave after they had been released, they still had plenty of time.
However, they still remained in the forest.
If the forest did not contain what they were looking for, then they were planning to use the same trick again after they had recovered.
Huo Xiao did not care which one it was.
All he had to do was to capture them and interrogate them.
Everyone was scattered in the forest, but they still used a special method to determine each other's positions. This was to ensure that once someone found the target, the others would be able to rush over to help immediately.
Huo Xiao was among them.
As the former leader of the mountain stronghold, he was very familiar with every grass and tree on the mountain.
Even though this was not a battlefield he was familiar with, he could still determine the situation inside by observing the changes in the environment on the mountain.
It could be said that with him around, the people inside could not escape even if they wanted to.
Soon, he smelled the scent of blood mixed with the grass smell of bitter ginseng.
Then, he gestured to the person closest to him.
The latter nodded and covered him. The two of them quietly changed their direction.
As Huo Xiao got closer, he quietly pushed aside a bunch of hazelnuts that were taller than a person.
That was …
.....
When the talkative man saw the men who suddenly appeared around him, holding swords and other weapons, he almost cried out loud.
If he knew that he would encounter such a thing after coming out, he would have stayed in the thirteenth level as a laborer!
However, the dagger pressed against his back prevented him from falling.
"Behave well, or else!"
The threat made it impossible for him to have any other thoughts. He could only clench his fists and beg for mercy with his tongue stuck out.
"Erm, brothers! The three of us aren't evil or evil people! We just entered by accident. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! "
That's right.
The injured man thought of using the identity of the talkative man and his two brothers.
He knew better than anyone else what it meant for the thirteenth level to be opened.
The past thirteen levels were supposed to lock up traitors.
However, as the Elders grew in power, more and more innocent people were quietly locked up in the thirteenth level.
Most of these people were outsiders, but a portion of them were members of the aristocratic families.
Some of them were even the more important children of those families.
Before that, most of them had 'disappeared' when they went to the Elders for training.
This was not a big deal at first.
After all, the so-called 'training' would always cost some people.
However, those families would never have imagined that the younger generation they had high hopes for, or even the children they had pinned their hopes on, would be thrown into hell because of some people's selfish interests!
No matter how fearful and respectful they were towards the Elders Council, their goal was to strengthen their own clans and not become a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered by the Elders Council at will.
In the end, people were selfish.
They relied on the Council of Elders for greater personal benefits, but they would also fall out with the Council of Elders to protect their own interests.
The goal of the injured man and his companions was even more important.
Therefore, their most important goal was to stay alive.
Everything else could be tolerated for the time being.
The talkative man's explanation did not elicit any reaction from the people who surrounded them.
However, they had no intention of hurting them. They only surrounded them and finally sent two people over to tie up the three men's hands.
The injured man exchanged a look with his companion.
Wait and see!
The latter nodded subtly, but at the same time, he was also vigilantly observing the situation around him.
Soon, the sound of two hurried footsteps could be heard.
The injured man pretended to look up casually and saw two tall and strong men.
Especially the one in front. He was dressed in black and had black hair. His features were handsome, but his aura was too cold. It was obvious that he was not an easy opponent.
He looked down and did not see the flash of light in Huo Xiao's eyes when he saw him.
It's that man!
Huo Xiao narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart.
Even though the other party had changed into tattered clothes and purposely made himself look timid and timid, he still recognized him at a glance.
This man was the robber who had robbed him and his father on the way!
However, the other party did not seem to recognize him.
