A team of hundreds of people walked through the long tunnel, with swords and bows on their bodies, and horses and carriages sparkling.
"On the ladder to heaven!"
Lu Qi, who was walking at the front of the team, took the lead to step out of the tunnel. Looking at the winding road ahead, the middle-aged man with dark and rough skin let out a deep roar.
As a senior guide, he has led the caravan back and forth on this road dozens of times.
But every time I pass this ladder, I will be cautious and cautious.
For thousands of years, the path of the Holy Ancestor has continued to expand, extending into countless branches and forks.
The underground world is not just soil and rocks, there are a large number of underground rivers, burrows, caves and even underground canyons!
In the process of opening up the path of the Holy Ancestor, they will always encounter these underground river caves. Some of them can be bypassed, while others can only be forcibly cleared.
This is what the ladder in front looks like.
This ladder is winding and winding, with a length of more than ten miles. The road is narrow and rugged, making it quite difficult to walk.
The most important thing is that once the caravan is attacked on the ladder, it will inevitably fall into a dilemma and may be annihilated.
The destination of the caravan led by Lu Qi is Chibi City. Recently, there have been frequent bandit activities in the area around Chibi City. It is said that some caravans were attacked and suffered heavy losses.
According to Lu Qi's own opinion, he should not go to dangerous areas before he is sure that the bandits have been eliminated.
However, his employer insisted on sending the goods over.
Lu Qi knew very well that without high profits, his boss would not take such a risk.
And he had no choice. After signing the contract, he had to abide by the arrangement, and he had to make this trip despite the risk.
For the sake of safety, before arriving at the ladder, he asked the caravan leader to send two hunters to act as scouts to explore the road ahead.
Once danger is discovered, a warning can be given promptly.
Because the road was difficult and the team was stretched very long, Lu Qi was worried that the carriage behind him would not be able to keep up, so he slowed down.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong feeling in his heart.
Lu Qi opened his eyes subconsciously and saw a dark shadow appearing in front of him.
dangerous!
The guide opened his mouth to shout, but an arrow suddenly shot through the air and pierced his head instantly.
Poof!
Lu Qi fell backward and fell to the ground.
Before his consciousness completely fell into darkness, he was still very confused - what did the hunter scout do?
More missed arrows followed.
Whoosh whoosh!
"The bandits, the bandits are here!"
The team on the ladder was in chaos. Some people were hit by arrows and let out shrill screams. Some people flinched and dodged in fear. Some people roared and rushed forward, trying to fight back against the sneak attackers.
One of the warriors was extremely agile. He dodged the incoming arrows with great agility and quickly approached the attacker with a long sword in his hand.
However, a burly man rushed out from among the bandits blocking the caravan and intercepted the warrior brandishing his sword.
In a flash of lightning, the two of them clashed for several rounds, with fierce sword flashes and shadows.
But there was obviously a big gap in strength between the two sides. The sturdy man cut off the long sword of the caravan warrior in two or three moves, and then chopped off the opponent's head with a knife.
He grabbed the bloody head with his hand and shouted at the caravan that was still resisting: "We want wealth rather than life. Those who surrender will be spared death, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
The strong man's voice was so loud that it caused a lot of gravel and dust to fall from the surrounding mountain walls.
At the same time, figures wearing black attire and holding crossbows appeared behind him, greatly strengthening his intimidation.
The caravan looked at each other in shock. Many people put down their weapons, and their will to resist was greatly weakened.
It wasn't that they were weak and incompetent, but that the bandit leader was too powerful. The head he held in his hands was the leader of the caravan, who was also the strongest warrior in the entire team.
As a result, they were beheaded by the bandit leader in two or three strokes. How could they be their opponents?
Moreover, although the number of rogue bandits is not large, they are all elite and well-armed. If they fight, the caravan will lose.
Once the bandits suffer casualties and are completely angered, who can survive?
Thinking of such tragic consequences, the leaderless caravan guards dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
"You know what I mean!"
The sturdy man dropped the head in his hand and laughed loudly: "Young men, the banquet is about to begin!"
"Here!"
The bandits responded loudly.
They stepped forward and kicked down the weapons thrown by the guards on the ground, ordered the truck drivers in the caravan to regroup, and then began to rob the travelers who followed.
These travelers followed the caravan for safety reasons. Now that the caravan is finished, they will not be spared. The most vicious bandits have forcibly taken away their belongings.
Some people resisted and were hacked to death on the spot.
With bloody examples, the rest of the people would be even more afraid to resist.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly a bandit laughed wildly and said: "Boss, look what I found, a girl!"
This gangster had just smashed open the carriage of a carriage, and then grabbed a delicate woman like a chicken.
"Help!"
The woman struggled desperately with tears streaming down her face.
The next moment, a young man emerged from the carriage and shouted angrily: "Let go..."
Katcha!
The bandits chopped off his head with a knife.
The woman's pretty eyes widened and she fainted on the spot.
The bandit chuckled, carrying her and running in front of the sturdy man: "Boss, you enjoy it first."
The sturdy man smiled and said, "You are smart."
He grabbed the unconscious woman unceremoniously, threw her on the stone next to her, and then unbuttoned his pants.
He actually had to act in public!
The caravan travelers who witnessed this scene all turned their heads, unable to bear witnessing and pretending not to see it.
stop!
Seeing that the most shameless scene was about to happen, suddenly an arrow shot out like lightning.
The target is the sturdy man!
This bandit leader was also remarkable. Even though he was filled with lust, he still maintained some vigilance. He instinctively sensed the danger and immediately made evasive movements.
puff!
The arrow missed the right shoulder of the sturdy man and went straight through, creating a wound as big as a fist.
Red blood spurted out wildly.
"ah!"
The bandit leader couldn't help but howl in pain, but a second arrow followed closely and pierced his throat!
The screams stopped suddenly, leaving all the gangsters present dumbfounded.
"Enemy attack!"
Some bandits reacted and shouted heartbreakingly: "Hurry..."
Poof!
He was shot through the head by an arrow. The arrow went in through his left eye, and a cloud of blood came out from the back of his head!
The rogue bandits were suddenly in chaos.
They fled in panic and hid behind the carriage, just like the business trip just now!
