It was already dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun was spreading thousands of miles away. Zhou Li, who used leaves to cover his key parts to prevent mosquito bites, was standing still on the tree in a strange posture, watching the crowds of people moving beneath him.
The fingertips of his left hand touch the ground, his right hand is placed in the air, and he bends down, perfectly clinging to the leaves like a spider. If Zhou Li were wearing a red tights now, he would be a very successful Spider-Man.
But now he can only be scorned by others and cursed as a failure.
After telling himself an extremely cold homophonic joke in his heart, Zhou Li looked boredly at the horse bandit who was making a fire to cook and the iron cage next to him.
In this iron cage filled with cold light, several unlucky Taixue Academy students were locked together. Zhou Li counted and found that there were three men and three women in total. Except for a woman who was huddled on the edge of the cage with her mouth covered, the others were still mentally tough and did not collapse. They suppressed their voices to prevent angering the gangsters.
What deserves Zhou Li's attention is that the snow-haired girl who felt out of place from the beginning turned her back to the bandit and seemed to be doing something. According to Zhou Li's experience, this iron cage should be made of cast iron mixed with [Huiling Wood]. It would be difficult for a third-grade Lingqi master below to do anything.
If the white-haired girl really had the strength of level three or above, she wouldn't be so easily captured.
"This student from the north is Shui Ling."
After picking up the wine bowl and taking a swig, the man wrapped in a yellow scarf warmed himself up over the fire. He glanced lewdly at the graceful girls in the cage, then moved closer to the leader of the horse bandits who looked like an iron tower, pressing down on him. The voice said:
"Boss, how about... let's have fun first?"
You don't even need to listen carefully, just by looking at the pockmarked face, the squeezing of the eyebrows and the twitching of the nose, the voice and smile are worthy of being pulled out and chopped off before being scrutinized.
The three female students turned pale after seeing the lustful expression on Mazi's face, and leaned against the iron cage involuntarily, trembling all over. They all understand that once a beautiful female student like themselves is kidnapped, ruining her innocence may be the lightest result.
"Mazi, put your little thoughts away."
After hearing the pockmarked words, the leader who was sipping the mare's milk suddenly turned gloomy. He glanced at the horse bandit who spoke with a cold face and said in a cold voice:
"If you learn that there are animals in the army who dare to burn, kill and plunder, the commander-in-chief will kill them faster than the government. If you don't want to be refined into the secret medicine of peace, you must change all the bad habits you had in the mountains before. Otherwise, there will be no chance. Blame me for not showing kindness to fellow countrymen."
"I'll just say it, I'll just say it."
Touching his head, Mazi smiled angrily and stepped aside. There are seven people in this group of horse bandits. Judging from the expressions of the others, it seems that what the leader of the horse bandits said is true.
Zhou Li touched his chin on the tree. He did not look at the horse bandit leader. After all, people who practice spiritual energy are often more sensitive to the sight of other people, let alone such desperadoes.
After getting rid of the little idea of pockmarked face, a new pot of hot mare's milk was cooked. The leader of the horse bandits didn't hesitate. He directly picked up the big pot, picked up a few wooden bowls and walked to the cage.
Looking at the trembling students who dared not move, the leader of the horse bandits directly placed the cauldron filled with mare's milk firmly in front of the cage. Then he sat on a stone nearby, took out a wooden spoon, filled several bowls with mare's milk, and placed them in front of the cage.
"There are still sixty miles to go, drink something to warm yourself up. Don't worry, everyone, as long as you don't make trouble along the way, I, Xu Sheng, will guarantee with my life that no one will touch a hair of any of you students."
The students in the cage were stunned. They did not expect that the vicious leader of the horse bandits would come over to guarantee this to them in person. For a moment, this group of students who had never experienced the dangers of human hearts suddenly felt a little fond of the leader of the horse bandits in front of them. After Xu Sheng left, the leader of the university students, Gao, touched his head and muttered strangely:
"This horse bandit is so weird."
At this time, Zhou Li was squatting on the tree crown, rubbing his chin, and thinking about the scene that had just happened with great interest. For most bandits and horse thieves, this kind of discipline is simply impossible to exist.
After all, those who work in this line of work only do it for the sake of the dirty things in their own hearts. Therefore, generally speaking, it is almost impossible to stop the bandits from burning, killing, raping, and plundering. Although ordinary bandits are concerned about human feelings and will make some slogans about justice for heaven, they usually turn a blind eye to these things done by their subordinates.
But this horse bandit leader named Xu Sheng was different. Zhou Li could see that except for the pockmarked face who was obviously a newcomer, the other horse bandits instinctively followed Xu Sheng's words. Not to mention having pockmarked faces and wanting to be happy, these people didn't even look at the group of female students. They were more disciplined than the Guan army in some remote areas.
This is very interesting.
Zhou Li noticed that it seemed that these people were not simply arresting these students for ransom. In other words, this group of people don't look like bandits at all, but more like a well-disciplined army.
interesting.
Zhou Li, who was flipping the sheep belly balls nimbly with his fingertips, narrowed his eyes and realized that the water behind these horse bandits might be deeper than he thought. Thinking of this, Zhou Li gently squeezed the Wanling Zhuqiu on his waist, and heard the inaudible calls of birds from the distant sky.
After about two or three hours, night had enveloped the entire mountain. At this time, the bonfire had been extinguished, and the horse bandit Xu Sheng, holding a steel knife, slowly patrolled around the camp. The other horse bandits began to rest, leaving only one person to look after the students who fell asleep under the pressure.
After moving his wrist, Zhou Li began to slowly move his body on the tree. The full name of the poison sutra he practiced is [Ten Thousand Spider Poison Sutra]. In addition to being able to prepare various poisons, it can also imitate the abilities from spiders.
For example, what he is imitating now is a poison called [Helan Spider] from the North. This poison can travel silently in the mountains and forests, injecting toxins into the objects it wants to inject in an extremely difficult to detect way.
Of course, imitation does not mean metamorphosis. The Grimace Spider can inject venom because it has a unique hollow column organ in the abdomen of its lower body, which can inject the venom in the body in extremely fine threads.
Humans can't, really can't.
In the mountain forest, only the man whose lower body was covered by leaves was crawling covertly among the dense trees. After a while, he sneaked into the place where the bandits stored food and water.
After confirming that no one was around, Zhou Li shook his hands, and a thin thread stuck to the branch. This thin thread looked as white and slender as silk, but it easily suspended Zhou Li in mid-air. Then, he slowly moved downwards in a hanging man posture.
stare.
The moment Zhou Li emerged from the thick leaves in mid-air, his hair stood on end and his pupils tightened. Because right below him, the snow-haired girl was staring at her eyes as clear and bright as sapphire, standing on the grain bag, staring at him motionlessly, with a somewhat surprised look in her eyes, but she didn't see it. Contempt or horror in perversion.
when! ?
Zhou Li suddenly felt alarm bells ringing in his heart. He never expected that he would be discovered on the spot for his first covert crime as a Spider-Man guest. Normally, he would have found the best solution, such as knocking the opponent unconscious or running away immediately, but...
Feeling the coolness brought by the gentle breeze in the dense forest to his naked and strong body, Zhou Li suddenly froze in mid-air, neither running nor fighting.
Obviously, the girl in front of her also wanted to deal with these horse bandits, and she definitely couldn't knock them unconscious with one punch. Therefore, Zhou Li could only shake his head innocently at the snow-haired girl, with a pleading look on his face.
The snow-haired girl looked at the naked man with a white filament hanging from the woods. There was no surprise or fear on her frost-covered face.
She just silently looked at Zhou Li in front of her, her eyes seemed to be filled with scrutiny. After a moment, she nodded slightly, with a look of appreciation on her delicate little face.
Zhou Li didn't speak. After all, there were horse bandits patrolling not far away. It would be easy to do something bad if he spoke rashly. After discovering that the other party was a person with extremely high artistic talent who could appreciate his own figure, Zhou Li put away his pleading look, stretched out his hand in relief, and gave a thumbs up.
Of course, the two have not forgotten the environment they are in now. The snow-haired girl looked at Zhou Li, pointed at the bag beside her, and made a gesture to stuff something into it.
Obviously, the escaped girl and Spider-Man Zhou Li had the same idea. They both wanted to poison the horse bandits' food so that they could catch them all.
Seeing this, Zhou Li stopped hiding it. Anyway, his spiritual energy has almost recovered now, and it is not difficult to transform into a Bi Diao again.
Therefore, Zhou Li, who had made up his mind, took out a white jade bottle and handed it to the girl in front of him, indicating that she would also do such evil things.
The girl took the jade bottle with great interest, opened the lid, fanned the mouth of the bottle with her hand and smelled it carefully. After a moment, she looked at Zhou Li and nodded with satisfaction, but then shook her head.
Just when Zhou Li was puzzled, the girl took out a small glass bottle from her arms and handed it to Zhou Li. At this moment, Zhou Li saw something from the other party's proud and expectant expression.
Brother, whip me hard.
Once he fanned it and smelled it, Zhou Li concluded that the poison in this vial was much more sinister than his own. What Zhou Li has configured is a [Bai Shu Tong] that can cause people to have crazy diarrhea. As long as it enters the body, it will cause diarrhea to death. It has an excellent effect on third- and fourth-grade spiritual energy masters like this.
And this snow-haired girl's [Retrograde Powder] is even more heavyweight. As long as this thing is taken, the whole body's spiritual energy will flow backwards. Even if the symptoms are mild, the body will explode and die. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, from now on it will be even more difficult to do crafts on lonely nights, let alone pick up a knife and mount a horse.
Thinking that the medicine in his hand was so inhumane and contrary to human ethics, Zhou Li became more and more dissatisfied with the girl in front of him.
As the old saying goes, if the enemy falls to the ground and doesn't hit the target, it's a waste. This style of directly blowing up the ashes is the last word. Therefore, Zhou Li put away his jade bottle and nodded approvingly to the girl.
As the colorless and odorless medicine blended into the horse bandit's food, the girl raised her hand to Zhou Li, then quietly returned to the cage, stretched out her hand, quietly opened the iron pillars on the back of the cage, and got in obediently. , and quietly broke the iron rod back.
At this time, the students in the cage seemed to have fallen asleep. Of course, most people could not sleep in such an environment. Zhou Li estimated that the snow-haired girl must have used some means to make them fall asleep.
Of course, Zhou Li was also happy to see this. Judging from his current attire, he might not be suitable to meet these elegant people. Nongkong Meihua Daming really didn't have the etiquette to meet frankly.
Reaching out, the prepared spider silk stuck to the branches in mid-air. With a slight exertion, Zhou Li's body disappeared into the dense forest, and then he waited patiently.
The next day, early morning.
"One stick of incense and then leave after eating."
He stood up, his eyes filled with energy. The man named Xu Sheng stood up, his dark green shorts held up by his muscles.
He walked up to the big pot, stretched out his fingers and stirred it unhygienicly. After a touch of green energy was withdrawn from the porridge, Xu Sheng nodded to the people behind him, indicating that it was time to start eating. .
This is the insidiousness of Zhou Li.
According to normal people's thinking, poisoning means putting it in the enemy's food. Since the poison is colorless and odorless, taking it before or after meals is not a big problem.
However, Zhou Li could tell that the leader of the horse bandit named Xu Sheng was no ordinary bandit. His level of caution was far above that of others. He would definitely carefully consider whether such unattended food was poisonous.
Therefore, Zhou Li poisoned him in a place that no one expected.
After watching Xu Sheng pick up the wooden bowl and fill a bowl full of rice porridge, Zhou Li smiled with satisfaction in the tree.
I know you rough guys don't drink porridge with a spoon.
The place where Zhou Li poisoned was their wooden bowl.
