To arrange in advance is to make a "pocket", starting from entering the town, all the way to the target's regular route, and then expanding some distance to be prepared. When the target enters the bottom of the pocket, that's when the hole is tight and harvested.
The so-called target is a dark-skinned, lean middle-aged man, not tall, wearing a coarse cloth shorts, wearing a broken straw hat on his head, carrying a quite large bamboo basket, the bamboo basket is open, you can see Get the game meat exposed inside. Also following closely behind him was a huge hound that was larger than normal, as big as a calf, causing passers-by to avoid him.
There is nothing special about this man, except for the big dog. He looked exactly like a hunter who went into town to sell goods.
This man’s surname is Li and his first name is Xinghe. It is one of the twelve stars of Yueying Tower, the "Beast Star", and he has cultivated to the seventh level of Yuan Dan Realm! He is also the only key member of Yueying Tower whose whereabouts have not been grasped by the Black Flag Battalion until now. This time I came to this small town to set up a job to capture this person.
There is a small stall selling noodle soup at the entrance of the town. It cooks noodles for the time-poor workers in the carriage shop. There are not many tables and chairs, but there are many customers. Most of them have no place to sit, so they squat on the side with their bowls in their hands to eat. This scene happens every day here, so there are several spies from the Black Flag Battalion hiding among these noodle eaters without attracting any attention at all.
Therefore, when Li Xinghe appeared at the gate of the town with the huge hound, the spies immediately discovered it, and waited for Li Xinghe to pass by, then used Qianli Note to send a message to the top of the town.
Then, eyes fell on Li Xinghe along the road. These people were ordinary spies with no cultivation, and they were among the peddlers and pawns on the street.
And Shen Hao sitting in the tavern can know Li Xinghe's movements outside in real time.
Soon, with almost half of the incense stick left, Li Xinghe walked to the door of the tavern. Then, under the guidance of the familiar waiter, we took a detour to the kitchen.
But all concealment comes to an end at this time.
Li Xinghe suddenly stopped and looked towards a corner on the first floor, where two people were sitting. One of them had his back to him and seemed to be drinking. It was this back view that made Li Xinghe narrow his eyes. At the same time, the big dog, which had always seemed very docile, lowered its body, bared its teeth and roared in a low voice towards the corner.
"Hey! Lao Li, let's go, what are you doing here? Say hello to your dog, it's scary." The waiter in the shop, who had no idea, was an acquaintance of Li Xinghe. He knew that this hunter's surname was Li, and he could deliver good goods down the mountain at a reasonable price. not tall. It's relatively familiar. Seeing the other party suddenly stop walking, he said hello.
"No, if we go any further, we'll probably be dead."
"Ah? Lao Li, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"If you want to live, just listen to me and run away, otherwise your death will be in vain if you are affected." Li Xinghe said as he put down the backpack on his back and took off the straw hat on his head. The expression on his face quickly changed from "ordinary" "Tong" became "extraordinary".
"Roar!"
At the same time, the grinning big dog suddenly stood upright on its front legs, and quickly grew in size. With a deafening roar, a shocking wave of air rose from the ground!
What started out as "What a big dog!" suddenly stood up and roared, and now it turned into "What kind of monster is this?"
The waiter who was talking to Li Xinghe just now turned around and ran away, dragging two drunken guests who were paralyzed with fear up and out. The entire tavern was in chaos, and the screams lasted for almost ten breaths before ending abruptly.
"Master Shen, are you alright?" Li Xinghe looked at the dozen or so people left in the tavern and sensed that they were being surrounded by strong crossbows that suddenly ran out, three layers outside and three layers outside. arrow! He stared at the back of the only figure who was still sitting on the stool drinking. He was sure that he had not mistaken the person.
Shen Hao didn't stop the other party, but he was a little surprised that the other party didn't run away immediately after finding out.
Turning around, Shen Hao didn't put down the wine glass in his hand, nor did he get up. He looked at Li Xinghe, and then at the man standing next to Li Xinghe who was about a foot tall and as strong as a giant bear... ..dog?
"Senior Li, you still look the same after not seeing him for several years."
"Li is just a lost dog now, but Mr. Shen has become more and more capable as he lives. Tsk tsk, are you here to kill Li this time?" Li Xinghe had a big smile on his face. He didn't feel the panic of being surrounded at all, but was calm and calm. , seemingly not worried about his situation at all.
Shen Hao then put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, put his right hand on the handle of the Yanji knife at his waist, and said with a smile: "That's right. I don't need to say more about the disaster at Yueying Tower, right? Senior Li was the backbone of it. , this crime is no longer fair, so I must die. Shen came here personally just to see my senior off to the next life."
"Haha, there's no such thing as an afterlife. Death is like a lamp going out. Only cowardly people believe in that nonsense about reincarnation. However, Mr. Shen, the sword has no eyes. If you want to take Mr. Li's head, then use human life to fill it."
Shen Hao also nodded. The original plan was to seize Li Xinghe in a surprise attack, but the reality was that Li Xinghe noticed the clues and recognized him as soon as he entered the door.
Although there were changes, Li Xinghe still arrived at the tavern. This was the "bottom of the pocket" that entered the encirclement and it was impossible to escape.
As for changing heads. Are the people in Black Flag Camp afraid of this? In the entire Xuanqing Guard, including the Black Flag Battalion, who among all the people at the bottom is not a fan of licking blood from the edge of a knife? The ferocity is no worse than that of the elite frontier troops who have fought hundreds of battles.
So, the rest is unnecessary for words. Shen Hao waved his hand, kill!
"Roar!"
The huge monster was the first to rise up, and when it kicked hard, there was a loud cracking sound on the ground, and then its huge body smashed into Shen Hao, who was seven to eight feet away with its afterimage.
At the same time, Li Xinghe made a strange handprint with his hands, and seemed to be mumbling something in his mouth. A strange sound that was not pleasant to human ears but was really coming from his mouth was spreading rapidly.
With a thought in Shen Hao's mind, his energy surged out, knocking away all the guards who tried to block him.
Then, an ice shield with barbs more than a foot thick appeared in front of him out of thin air. The barbs on it were more than four inches long and as thick as an arm, blocking the path of the monster.
"No need to help me. Go and capture Li Xinghe. Be careful."
"yes!"
Before he even finished speaking, there was a loud bang accompanied by ice fragments flying everywhere. The huge figure hit the ice shield set up by Shen Hao without hesitation, but the result did not seem to be good.
There was no blood on the ice shield, but there were obvious cracks. The monster roared and continued to move forward against the ice shield, crushing the ground with every step, and making the cracks on the ice shield bigger.
"This brute strength and thick skin are really amazing... Is this a way to control beasts? Is this thing a dog or something?" Shen Hao thought with some curiosity.
