Seeing Lu Li frowning, Chen Hu thought Lu Li was scared.
Then he spoke to comfort him again: "You don't need to worry too much. The Menghu Village is some distance away from this road. We usually just set up sentry posts on the roadside to monitor. As long as there are no large troops to intercept, we can just rush over. They There’s nothing we can do about it.”
However, Lu Li was not worried about this.
Instead, the reminder of the immortal spirit suddenly sounded in his mind, telling him that by conquering the Tiger Village, he could improve his talent for discernment to the intermediate level.
After hearing Chen Hu's words, Lu Li nodded and said nothing more.
When Chen Hu saw this, he flattered him from behind, and the big black horse immediately started galloping. Chen Hu was worried that Lu Li wouldn't be able to keep up, so he ran over, grabbed his arm, and threw him on his back.
Lu Li did not resist and allowed the other party to carry him.
Chen Hu was at the fifth level of martial arts and his running speed was quite fast. After a while, he followed the black horse and rushed for more than ten miles and entered a lush jungle.
This is the Menghu Mountain mentioned by Chen Hu.
Under normal circumstances, the Menghu Village will set up a sentry post in this jungle, and someone will hide in the forest to monitor it. Once a big fat sheep is discovered, they will secretly notify the people in the village to come and pursue it.
If there are just one or two minions, they will basically ignore it.
Unless, on a specific hunting day, all the copycat army is dispatched to squat on time, there will be no leakage and no one will be let go.
However, Lu Li and his party were obviously unlucky today.
Not long after they entered the Tiger Forest, a horizontal rope suddenly jumped up from the ground, directly stopping the big black horse from doing a big somersault, and Sun Qian on the horse was also thrown away heavily.
Immediately afterwards, more than ten mountain bandits flew out of the forest and blocked Lu Li and his party.
At the same time, there were bursts of clicking sounds in the forest, like the sound of a bow string being tightened. A closer look revealed that there were hundreds of archers ambushing here, all with their bows and arrows ready to go.
"Tsk! What a good horse."
The leader who was blocking the middle of the road stepped forward, grabbed the reins of the big black horse, pulled it to his side, touched the black horse's cheek, and marveled.
The others also drew their bows and arrows, aiming at Lu Li and the others.
"Zhao Tianlei, you dare to rob me, are you really impatient?" Chen Hu narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the middle-aged man holding the horse.
This person is none other than Zhao Tianlei, the second master of Menghu Village. He is not weak at all and has the fourth level of martial arts.
"Hey, what are you so excited about? It's not you, Deputy Commander Chen, I won't take it. Do you know, we brothers have been waiting here for a day and a night, just to wait for you, Deputy Commander Chen, to give me a gift? Here comes this fine horse..."
Zhao Tianlei had a proud expression on his face, completely ignoring Chen Hu, a fifth-level martial artist.
When the rest of the people heard this, they immediately started laughing.
Seeing Chen Hu in embarrassment, these bandits looked very excited.
Also, there are hundreds of archers here with bows and arrows. Let alone the fifth level of martial arts, even if the sixth level comes, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to deal with. He is naturally confident.
And Chen Hu also understood that these people were setting up an ambush here to wait for his arrival. They must have been spotted by the whistle here when they went home a few days ago.
"Here you go, let us leave!"
When Chen Hu saw this, although he was angry, he had to endure it.
He might be able to give it a try and charge through with force, but he couldn't take good care of Lu Li and Sun Qian, who was handicapped, so he could only compromise.
When Zhao Tianlei heard this, he shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, today, I not only want the horse, but also you. Vice Commander Chen, would you please come with us?"
"What do you want to do!"
"Hey, don't be nervous. I'm just inviting you to the mountain as a guest. I won't do anything to you." Zhao Tianlei said, waving his hand, "Come on! Cuff me!"
Suddenly, a man who had been prepared walked out of the forest carrying two thick chain shackles. However, he was stared at by Chen Hu and was so frightened that he took two steps back.
Zhao Tianlei frowned and threatened, "Vice Commander Chen, I advise you to be wiser. The arrows in the hands of my brothers don't have eyes. If you scare them, you will have to be responsible for the consequences..."
Chen Hu's face was gloomy, he glanced at Lu Li and Sun Qian beside him, and finally slowly stretched out his hands.
Only then did the young man dare to step forward and shackle his hands, and also shackled his feet. Then he looked at Zhao Tianlei and asked, "Second Master, that sick Yangzi and that one?"
Zhao Tianlei glanced at Lu Li and Sun Qian who were sitting on the ground, and pondered for a moment, "There is no need to torture these two, just take them away!"
Then he looked at Chen Hu and raised his eyebrows: "Let's go! Deputy Commander Chen?"
Chen Hu snorted coldly, "My little brother is too weak to carry someone on his back. Please call someone strong to carry this old man on his back."
"Little things."
Zhao Tianlei looked into the forest and shouted, "Fat Lin, come out and carry this cripple on your back!"
Immediately, a big, shirtless man with an open chest rushed out of the forest. Without saying a word, he directly picked up Sun Qian on his back and got back into the forest.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Tianlei began to drive Lu Li and Chen Hu away, and followed them towards the forest. The rest of the people followed closely behind, and the team was very large.
From beginning to end, Lu Li didn't say a word.
There were three guides in front of Lu Li, as well as Fatty Lin, who was carrying Sun Qian on his back.
Behind him is Chen Hu who is wearing hand and anklets.
Behind Chen Hu was the second master Zhao Tianlei, and behind him were the bandits of Luohu Village leading the big black horse, and the escort team of hundreds of people.
It can be seen that Zhao Tianlei was fully prepared in order to capture Chen Hu, and did not underestimate the deputy commander of Lutai City who was only one level higher than him.
After climbing to the top of the jungle slope, there is a compacted path, which begins to undulate and wind along the ridge, either up or down, with constant ups and downs.
After walking along the path for about two quarters of an hour, sentry posts began to appear.
At the same time, a straight majestic peak appeared in Lu Li's sight. After walking for another half an hour, crossing a stream and walking through an empty grassland, they finally reached the base of the majestic peak.
The peak is steep and there is only a rugged uphill road to reach the top.
Moreover, you can vaguely see a lot of loose rocks piled up on the mountainside. If they were smashed down, the person would be severely bruised and bleeding, leaving no intact body.
No wonder Chen Hu said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack here.
For mortal soldiers who cannot fly, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to attack.
There was also a camp at the foot of the mountain. Most people stopped going forward when they reached the foot of the mountain. Only a small number of people followed Lu Li and others on the path up the mountain.
The road up the mountain was difficult, and Lu Li pretended to be out of breath and struggling, causing everyone behind him to burst into laughter.
"Hey! Look at that guy, he's unsteady on his feet after walking halfway. If he reaches the top of the mountain, he's going to pee in fear!"
"You don't understand this! There is a saying, what is it called, a useless scholar? This is the guy he's talking about."
"Hahaha, yes! That's what it means."
"..."
Listening to everyone's ridicule, the second master couldn't help but secretly shake his head. He looked down upon people like Lu Li. His sickly appearance was useless except for seducing the eldest ladies of the official family!
Fatty Lin put Sun Qian on his back and sneered secretly when he heard this: I hope you can still laugh in a while.
