From time to time, a gust of night wind blows, and the leaves make a rustling sound, making the atmosphere in the woods even more depressing.
Even for a desperado like Sun Bai, his palms couldn't help but sweat in this environment.
He held his breath and carefully looked at the surroundings with his eyes. He didn't know how long it had passed before his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
"A false alarm..."
"This place is too close to Ming County, and Qin Feng just left not long ago, so be careful to use the Wannian Ship."
"Don't sleep, it's your turn to keep vigil."
Sun Bai turned around and pulled open the tent, raised the handle of the knife, and struck his subordinate Wu Er on the thigh.
Wu Er woke up from the pain, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Sun, what's going on?"
Sun Bai frowned and said in a deep voice: "You sleep like a pig. Even if you are slaughtered, you won't know anything about it."
"Every night from now on, everyone will stay vigil for two hours to prevent being touched by the Jin Yiwei."
Wu Er, who was listless just now, suddenly became energetic when he heard the words "Jinyiwei": "What? Jinyiwei is here?"
Sun Bai punched Wu Er in the chest and said with an annoyed face: "What a ghost! You called me here even though I wasn't here."
"Keep watch carefully, don't light a fire, and don't make random noises. Just squat next to the tent and stare."
After saying that, Sun Bai ignored Wu Er, threw himself directly into the tent, and fell asleep.
Wu Er squatted beside him, looking at the invisible mountains and forests around him, and his back could not stop feeling cold.
He is not afraid of the dark, but of the Jin Yiwei.
As early as when Wu Heli left, they had already mentioned the name of the Jinyiwei. Those guys were very ruthless and ruthless. Once they fell into the hands of the Jinyiwei, they would not be able to survive or die. .
Meeting Jin Yiwei is much scarier than meeting a ghost.
Just when Wu Er kept begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother, hoping that Jin Yiwei would never discover him, a small noise suddenly came from the tent next to him.
Although the visibility in the mountain forest was extremely low, Wu Er, who was born with good eyesight, could vaguely see a black figure and got into the tent.
Wu Er thought someone was up at night, so he quickly called out softly: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"brother?"
Seeing no response from the tent opposite, Wu Er felt suspicious, so he simply crawled over, opened the curtain, and whispered inside: "Who came in just now?"
There were three people lying in the tent, and still no one paid attention to Wu Er.
Maybe the other party is asleep?
Wu Er was no longer entangled, but just when he was about to turn around and leave, he vaguely smelled a faint fishy smell.
"What is the taste?"
Wu Er frowned, took a deep breath, and a fishy smell poured directly into his nose.
"Hey guys, who of you peed in the tent?"
"Smoke me to death!"
Wu Er was angry and funny. Just as he was cursing and putting down the curtain, the clouds in the sky dispersed and the bright white moonlight fell on the earth.
A faint light flashed from the tent.
Wu Er's smile froze, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and quickly opened the curtains.
With the help of the weak moonlight, I carefully looked at the situation in the tent and saw a black shadow squatting at the heads of the three brothers.
The black figure covered the mouth and nose of one of the brothers with his left hand, and held a dagger in his other hand, sliding back and forth on the brother's neck.
No matter how stupid Wu Er was, he realized something. An unprecedented chill instantly filled his body!
He finally understood what the fishy smell was coming from just now.
is blood!
The reason why no one in the tent responded to Wu Er was because all three brothers were quietly killed in their sleep.
Wu Er was so frightened that he staggered, lowered the door curtain, and ran back to his tent crawling on the ground.
"Brother Sun, it's bad, the camp was attacked."
"Brother Sun! Brother Sun, please say something."
Seeing Sun Bai lying on the ground motionless, Wu Er became anxious, grabbed Sun Bai's ankles and shook him hard.
But after shaking it twice, I felt something was wrong. Why were my hands so sticky?
He retracted his hand and took a closer look with the help of the moonlight. Cold sweat instantly covered his body.
Blood! It's all blood! ,
Feeling unprecedented fear, Wu Er's entire body had completely froze. He slowly raised his head and looked into the tent again, only to see a black shadow squatting in his own tent.
Sun Bai and the other two brothers each had a dagger stuck in their heart and back.
"Oh my God!"
Wu Er was completely frightened. It was clear that just a moment ago, Brother Sun was still alive and kicking, but in the blink of an eye, he was killed...
He no longer dared to hesitate at all, turned around and ran away, only to trip and fall in his panic.
Just when Wu Er was about to get up, he suddenly heard a stampede in front of him.
The voice was very close, as if it was coming from close to your face.
Wu Er didn't dare to move for a moment. He just froze in place and remained lying on the ground.
He didn't know how long it took before he finally mustered up some courage and slowly raised his head.
He saw only a black shadow standing in front of him. Since his back was facing the moonlight, Wu Er could only be sure that there was a person standing in front of him, but other than that, he could not see anything.
Suddenly, a flash of fire lit up.
In an instant, the person in front of him was illuminated. Under Wu Er's shocked gaze, a man wearing black brocade clothes, a bamboo hat, and a short knife hanging on his waist was looking down at him with a smile.
Before Wu Er could recover from the shock, four more torches appeared next to him.
Four men, also wearing black brocade clothes, stood in four directions, just surrounding the camp.
From the three tents in the camp, a man wearing brocade clothes came out one after another.
Each of them held three bloody heads in their hands.
Wu Er has never encountered such a strange scene in his whole life. The camp does not seem to have been invaded, but more like a ghost. Otherwise, how could the nine people be quietly taken away while someone is keeping watch? Silently beheading?
"Grandpa, spare your life!"
Wu Er's hysterical begging for mercy echoed throughout the mountain forest.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically, hoping that the other party would spare his life. Unfortunately, no matter how much he shouted, there was no movement from the other party.
When Wu Er raised his head, the man in front of him still had a weird smile on his face.
"Yelling, why don't you bark?"
Feeling the other person's sharp and breathtaking eyes, Wu Er felt as if his heart had been grabbed hard by someone, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.
"You...who are you?"
Facing Wu Er's inquiry, the man wearing a bamboo hat slowly knelt down and asked in an understatement: "Have you ever heard of Jinyiwei?"
What? !
Jinyiwei!
