270. Chapter 269 The Mountain King with a Vicious Fame
Li Mengnan did not listen carefully to what the man in gray and the owner of the blacksmith shop said. His eyes were firmly locked on a few basketball-sized objects behind the saddle.
They were the heads of three men, and they had black hair and black pupils that were extremely rare in this world. The incision on the neck was still fresh, and blood was dripping down. It was obvious that it had just been cut out not long ago.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Mengnan to memorize all of the more than 200 dreamwalkers from various countries in just one glance, but judging from the skin color and bone structure of these three heads, they should belong to Southeast Asian races such as Indonesia or Malaysia.
Li Mengnan couldn't help but frown.
The weakest among the Dream Walkers has a physique 1.5 times that of an ordinary person. Even with brute force, it is not a problem to deal with five or six strong men with bare hands. Although the man in gray has the advantage of having weapons, he still has to face three men at the same time.
Even under unfavorable circumstances, Dreamwalkers can still kill them one by one. Their individual strength is obviously no weaker than any Dreamwalker.
It seems that he still underestimated the indigenous people of this world. There are obviously masters here.
The man in gray had a very keen intuition, and he noticed Li Mengnan's observation of him almost immediately. Li Mengnan's black-haired, black-eyed Oriental face immediately made him wary, and he put his hand on his waist without hesitation.
A short protective blade.
Li Mengnan was originally known for his hand speed. In the state of pure consciousness, he broke through the shackles of the physical body, and his speed was incredibly fast. Although he shot behind the man in gray, he arrived almost at the same time.
Seeing that the man in gray had already pulled out most of the short blade, Li Mengnan turned his wrist and flicked his finger directly on the numb area of the man in gray's elbow.
The man in gray suddenly felt numbness in his arm, half of his arm was completely out of control, and it was difficult to hold the short blade firmly. He couldn't help but be shocked. It was too late to change his hand to grab it, and the fallen short blade was held firmly in Li Mengnan's hand.
A series of seemingly complicated actions took place in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone present reacted, Li Mengnan had already pressed the sharp tip of the short blade against the throat of the man in gray.
"Damn it! You rude savages are going to kill people, get out of here and don't dirty my shop!"
The owner of the blacksmith shop had obviously seen this kind of scene many times, and had no intention of stopping it. He waved a chain hammer and drove people out angrily and indiscriminately, causing a lot of panic in the blacksmith shop.
Although there is a small patrol team in the town to maintain law and order, they basically only serve the big businessmen and nobles. Most of them turn a blind eye to the conflicts that occur among the poor people at the bottom.
Seeing Li Mengnan threatening the man in gray and walking out of the blacksmith shop, the patrol team passing by had no intention of taking action. They glanced at it casually and then urged their horses to leave.
"Why didn't you ask them for help?" Li Mengnan was a little surprised by the silence of the man in gray.
"In their eyes, mercenaries like me are lawless guys and destroyers of stable order. They want people like us to die completely. Do you think they might save me?"
The brown eyes of the man in gray were extremely calm, as if he had already seen through life and death.
"Mercenary?"
Li Mengnan couldn't help but look this person up and down. Although he knew from the collected information that there was such a profession as a mercenary, this was the first time he saw a real living person.
"What happened to those heads?"
"They suddenly rushed out of the woods and wanted to rob me, but their skills were a bit lacking." A sneer hung on the lips of the man in gray.
"You're lying! If they just want to rob you, you can just kill them. Why do you have to cut off the heads and bring them back?" Li Mengnan suddenly shouted sharply.
The man in gray did not show any panic and replied calmly: "A few days ago, a group of Orientals robbed the caravan of the local wealthy businessman Mr. Dom. Mr. Dom issued a reward order. I don't know if it is these Orientals.
, so I cut off their heads and took them over to try their luck."
Li Mengnan, Guo Yimin and others exchanged glances with each other, reached out and patted the waist and chest of the man in gray, took out a heavy money bag, took back the short blade and said: "You can leave, but your weapon, money
The horses and horses must be kept as your ransom."
The man in gray was a bachelor, so he patted his butt and walked away neatly without saying anything.
"Brother Li, is it okay if we rob each other so openly?"
If it had been in the past, Guo Yimin would never have asked such a question. It seemed that the three bloody Dreamwalker heads on the saddle had touched him quite a bit.
Li Mengnan threw the rather exquisite short blade sheathed from the man in gray to Guo Yimin and said with a smile: "He dares to kill people blatantly, so it shouldn't matter if we snatch it."
"I think this is a good idea." PADIO suddenly said meaningfully.
…
Five days later, five kilometers southwest of Fuleku Town.
"Brother Li, we've only been robbing for a few days, and these mercenaries already know how to travel together."
Guo Yimin was lying in the grass wearing a simple homemade ghillie suit, his fat body twisting slightly from time to time, holding a straw stick in his mouth, staring intently at a group of people speeding towards the valley below.
"Nonsense, although these aboriginal people are just consciousnesses that exist in the legendary land, after all, they are not the NPCs in the game who just stand around waiting for you to talk to them. They also have their own wisdom..."
Huang Hao took out an arrow from his quiver, held it between his index and middle fingers and gently placed it on the bowstring.
The bow in his hand is no longer the tattered one it was at the beginning, but a short bow made of real fine steel. The bow string is also made of some unknown animal sinew. It is extremely tough and has a maximum range of more than 150.
rice.
This exquisite short bow is naturally one of the fruits of the robbery these days. Not only Huang Hao, but the equipment of the other five people in the team has also been replaced by guns. Although there are not many truly exquisite pieces, they are definitely among the best.
Above the general horizontal line.
Li Mengnan played with a flying knife that was slightly longer than his finger, and chuckled: "One, two, three, four, five... There are actually five people traveling together this time. It seems that we have a reputation for being evil now."
"Dealing with five mercenaries at the same time is the limit of our ability to fight without injury. If the number of their companions continues to increase, the chance of accidental attrition will increase significantly. It seems that this time will probably be our last shot.
.”
Due to the inconvenience of movement, PADIO had already given up dressing up in long dresses and changed into men's clothes. His long hair was tied into a ponytail behind his head, but he still couldn't see the characteristics of a man. He looked more like a handsome man.
Men's flat-chested lolita.
"The last vote? I'm having a great time grabbing it..."
Guo Yimin muttered unwillingly. Although he still quarreled with PADIO from time to time during this period, he already recognized the ability of this vicious-tongued pretender.
Li Mengnan patted Guo Yimin on the back and said with a smile: "Enough is enough. Don't forget what our main mission is. We are not here to be the king of the mountain... and although mercenaries are richer than civilians, they are relatively limited and their abilities are limited."
The weapons plundered are only as good as the sky at this level. If you want better weapons, you can only go to the treasure troves of the great nobles to find them."
"Forget it, I still want to live a few more years." Guo Yimin stuck out his tongue.
They once tentatively sneaked into the mansion of a small noble. The security was staggering. Any guard they picked out was a master who was no less powerful than the gray-clothed mercenary. Once they were under siege, they would definitely escape death. In desperation, they
He could only retreat back to the original path without doing anything.
This is true for a small noble in a town, let alone the big nobles and wealthy businessmen in the royal city.
"Stop talking, the target has entered the ambush zone!"
Li Mengnan put two fingers into his mouth and made a sharp whistle. After receiving the order, Lao Man and Dongzi immediately tightened the trip rope that had been lying in wait for a long time.
"Damn it! There's an ambush! Everyone, be careful!"
Although traps like tripping ropes are cumbersome, they are indeed very effective. The mercenaries who were flying in were all focused on guarding against ambushes on both sides of the valley. They never thought that the real ambush would come from the ground.
The two horses running at the front of the team neighed and rolled forward, their huge bodies weighing hundreds of kilograms sliding against the ground, raising large amounts of dust, and the sound of the slender horses' legs breaking could be heard dozens of meters apart.
The two mercenaries on horseback were directly thrown away at a high speed of nearly 60 miles. After landing, they rolled all the way for more than ten meters. Although the leather armor and helmets protected important parts, the huge impact caused by inertia also caused a huge impact.
It was smashed to pieces.
The mercenary who followed him controlled the horse very well. The horse raised its front hooves high and stopped its forward motion.
But his good luck ended there, as a cold light as fast as a shooting star flew directly into his right shoulder, knocking him off his horse.
"There are archers!"
Mercenaries are a profession that puts their heads on their belts, and those who survive are all elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. Maybe their personal strength is not strong, but their combat experience and psychological quality are definitely top-notch.
The two remaining mercenaries in the back row did not hesitate to get off their horses, draw their weapons, formed a defensive formation back to back, and wielded their long swords to knock down the arrows shot by Huang Hao one by one.
"Huang Hao, go cover Lao Man and Dongzi!"
Li Mengnan's figure jumped up from the grass, and rushed down the uneven rocks like a nimble blue sheep. From time to time, he tapped his feet on the tree trunks, and relied on the trees in the forest to continuously turn, and used the "Flying over Eaves and Walls" method.
Qinggong is used vividly.
PADIO also followed closely behind Li Mengnan. Although his "Flying on the Grass" Qinggong was not as graceful as Li Mengnan's tossing and turning, his speed in sprinting over long distances was even better. No matter how rugged the mountain road was, his petite body
They are always stable and motionless, as if they are gliding close to the ground, and the figures that disappear and appear in the forest are even more weird.
