Neat sounds came from inside the island shrouded in thick fog, as if some ritual was being performed.
A robber standing guard on the shore looked back from time to time, with an irritated expression on his face.
Suddenly, a crashing sound came from the fog-shrouded swamp.
The robber glanced at it and thought it was the sound of the bamboo raft being driven by water waves.
Suddenly, a black shadow came towards me at an extremely fast speed.
Just as the robber was about to shout, he was knocked away by the shadow and fell heavily to the ground.
"Pindao asked how so many thieves got to the island. It turned out they used bamboo rafts."
As the black shadow spoke, he picked up the robber and threw him into the water plants nearby.
The black shadow is Cao Yi.
The sound just made was that the boat accidentally hit a bamboo raft moored on the shore.
"Hey, this is it?"
Cao Yi bent down and picked up a ferocious-looking mask.
It seemed to have fallen from the robber just now.
No matter, put it on before talking.
"What's going on in there?"
Cao Yi, wearing a ferocious mask, looked towards the interior of the island shrouded in thick fog.
Just before he reached the shore, he heard the uniform shouts and the uniform stamping of feet.
"Is there some kind of ritual going on?"
With a guess, Cao Yi walked over cautiously.
Not long after, a group of houses appeared in sight, with trees, bamboo houses, and vegetable fields beside them. It was supposed to be a peaceful small fishing village, but now it was empty.
After passing the house, the terrain began to increase, and a few thieves standing guard vaguely appeared in the field of vision. Because of the heavy fog, they couldn't see Cao Yi.
After walking along the gentle slope for a while, a fire appeared in front of me, and the neat voice came from there.
Avoiding some thieves standing guard, Cao Yi walked more than a hundred steps. With his strong eyesight, Cao Yi saw nearly a thousand masked bandits forming a large circle. Among them were bandits with disheveled hair besides wearing masks. They were dancing and shouting in front of dozens of fires, as if they were saving the souls of the dead.
There is also an earthen platform more than ten feet high on one side, on which a very burly man wearing a mask sits kneeling, who must be Peng Yue.
"System, place the star formation here."
Cao Yi didn't plan to get closer. If he was discovered, although there would be no danger, it would still be troublesome.
"Place"
A few steps away, a black hole appeared out of thin air, with a rapidly rotating vortex inside.
Cao Yi, who had seen it many times, just glanced at it and looked elsewhere.
Soon, a fist-sized, boxy, black thing floated out.
"This is?"
Cao Yi looked puzzled.
"A formation platform that can generate formations"
So advanced!
Cao Yi reached out and took it in his hand. It was not heavy at all, at most seven or eight pounds. It felt good and smooth in the hand.
Suddenly, a message came to my mind.
Cao Yi understood.
The operation of this thing is very simple, just bury it in the soil and wait for fifteen minutes.
As for the burial location, just under your feet.
Taking out the Millennium Peach Wood Sword from the gourd, Cao Yi easily made a hole, put the formation platform in, and buried it again.
"stop"
Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded.
The uniform shouts and the uniform stamping of feet stopped.
Cao Yi heard the sound and looked over.
"Brothers, Leader Song and hundreds of brothers died in the hands of that demon. The third leader also died half an hour ago due to serious injuries. We must avenge this."
Peng Yue, who stood 1.9 meters tall and wore a mask, waved his fist and shouted.
"Must report"
"Must report"
…
Nearly a thousand thieves followed and roared, and the scene was very spectacular.
Cao Yi looked at it with a weird expression. This group of people didn't know who they were going to kill, so they were standing next to them, and they were ready to eat them all.
"quiet"
Peng Yue roared angrily.
Nearly a thousand thieves fell silent.
"The monster has moved into Lu Gong's mansion. I have already discussed it with the internal officials. At Yinshi, we opened the west gate of Peixian County. When we arrived outside the Lu Mansion, we first sent a group of brave brothers with the flammable materials prepared by the internal officials to set fire to the house. The demon came out and started shooting with the strong bows and crossbows we have accumulated over the years. I don't believe he can survive."
Peng Yue's voice was thunderous, with absolute confidence.
Nearly a thousand thieves shouted again, as if they saw the scene of Cao Yi being shot into a hedgehog.
"It's only a four-quarter-hour journey from the west gate of Peixian County in a straight line. If Yinshi arrives, it won't be a big problem."
Cao Yi mentally commented on Peng Yue's time arrangement.
"Quiet, before we set off, we must choose the bravest person to lead the brothers who are not afraid of death into the Lu Mansion and set fire to it."
Peng Yue's tiger eyes swept across the audience.
Suddenly, many people took the initiative to come forward.
Peng Yue nodded with satisfaction and said: "As expected of my brother Peng Yue, he has a scar as big as a bowl on his head, but eighteen years later he is a good man again."
"However, I said that I must choose the bravest person. This person must stand on this platform and be undefeated for six consecutive games. Before departure, I will appoint this person as the new third leader."
The cheers were like a wave all of a sudden. The third master was a person inferior to two people and more than a thousand people.
"Okay, start now"
After Peng Yue said that, he walked off the platform.
Immediately, two thieves wearing masks came on stage, and within three rounds, one of them was beaten down.
In the following time, people kept coming up and people were being beaten down.
Seeing that the time was less than six minutes, Cao Yi planned to find a place to hide in the purple, gold and red gourd, waiting for the arrival of the star.
"you"
A very strong thief on the stage pointed over.
Everyone looked back.
I! Seeing that it was him who was named, Cao Yi felt a little bit different. If he wins later, he will become the leader who kills him.
"come up"
The very strong thief shouted.
"Go up, why are you still standing there?"
"Afraid of death"
"hurry up"
…
the thieves urged.
Cao Yi hesitated for a few seconds and walked over. As for the problem of being discovered, he was not worried at all. The thieves were dressed very randomly, some looked like beggars, some looked like nobles, some looked like farmers, some looked like rangers...
"This outfit is nice. Let's change after we lose."
On the stage, the very strong thief saw Cao Yi approaching and said loudly.
Cao Yi walked up to the earth platform and glanced at this man. He was wearing the clothes of a noble man, but unfortunately one sleeve was missing.
"If you are so thin, you are not enough for me to kick you!"
The very strong thief strode over, completely ignoring Cao Yi.
Cao Yi said nothing and looked at him quietly.
When he came closer, the strong thief snorted coldly, raised his foot and kicked Cao Yi. Before he could touch Cao Yi, he flew out like a sandbag.
"Good skills"
"sharp"
“What a strength”
…
The thieves cheered.
Cao Yi said nothing and looked at the people below quietly.
Soon, another person came up, and of course, he was kicked down by Cao Yi again.
Second, third, fourth.
Bang, the fifth thief was knocked unconscious by a direct slap from Cao Yi.
In the sixth game, no one dared to go up, this guy was too fierce.
"Okay, this brother will be our third boss from now on."
Peng Yue strode onto the platform with a smile on his face.
Cao Yi remained silent.
"Brother, I will leave it to you to burn down the Lu Mansion this time."
Peng Yue's tone was very polite.
From now on, the brother in front of him will be the third eldest brother of the Juye Ze group of thieves, and his status is second only to him and the second eldest brother.
Cao Yi said nothing, raised his finger and pointed at the sky.
Peng Yue raised his head and looked at the sky, and said in astonishment: "There are so many stars, why did the heavy fog in the sky suddenly disappear?"
After a while, Peng Yue came back to his senses and said with a puzzled face: "Brother, what's so good about these stars?"
Hearing no answer, he turned around.
"Hey, why is my dear brother missing?"
