At the entrance of the dark ravine, four horse bandits carried bright sheepskin lanterns and walked towards the sentry tower. The horse bandits on the tower climbed down in a hurry, complaining that they arrived too late and no one paid attention to what was going on around them.
"Fat Tiger, remember what I just said." Zhikari jumped over the boulder, lowered his body to the ground, and with only the muscles of his chest and abdomen contracting, he twisted through the grass like a snake and swam quickly to the edge of the cliff.
It is one of the several body skills in the jade slips given by Qingfeng - Grass Snake Gray Thread Technique.
The horse bandits who were changing the guard carried a lamp in one hand and a thick wooden ladder frame in the other, and began to climb up the two sentry towers. The four of them walked towards the ravine. At a place where the light could not reach, Zhikarizhen opened his mouth and bit the broken sword, holding it with his palm.
He used the gecko wall-walking technique to climb up the rock and approached the sentry tower.
A few horse bandits had climbed halfway up, and Zhikari Zhenye had already climbed up the sentry tower, huddled in the corner, and pointed his broken sword at the opening of the ladder frame.
The creaking sound of leather boots on the crossbar became louder and louder. A horse bandit grabbed the guard tower fence, leaned over, and raised his legs to step over.
Zhikari jumped out quickly, and the broken sword pierced the horse bandit's sheepskin vest, straight to the heart. The broken sword was light, thin and sharp, and the broken object was silent, just like the shadow of a fish sliding gracefully through the deep water.
The horse bandit fell forward. Zhikarizhen held the body with his left hand and pulled it towards the fence. He hooked the fallen lantern with his toes and moved it to the side. Another horse bandit climbed up after him. As soon as his head popped up, his throat went cold and he was immediately covered.
The tip of the sword was pierced, and his upper body fell down on the sentry tower. Zhikari Zhen pulled the horse bandit up, leaned against the fence as well, assumed the position of two people sitting on the ground facing each other, and hung up the lantern.
Zhikarizhen quickly slid down the sentry tower and rushed to the other one. The two horse bandits were still climbing on the ladder frame. When they climbed up the sentry tower, hung up the lanterns, and looked around habitually, they caught a glimpse of the sentry tower on the opposite side.
The back view of an accomplice leaning against the fence.
One of the horse bandits muttered a few words, and the other horse bandits shouted loudly to the other side. Seeing that his accomplices had no reaction, he felt something was wrong and hurriedly pulled out his saber.
Zhikarizhen climbed up the sentry tower and charged at the horse bandit with his sword. The horse bandit had no time to shout and hurriedly blocked it with his sword. The horse bandit on the side ran towards the tower pillar and reached out to grab the horn. A heavy whistling sound suddenly came from behind.
As they chased after him, the huge ax blade spun past. The horse bandit was broken at the waist, and half of his body flew out with the big axe.
Zhikarizhen's forearm suddenly sank, and the tip of the sword skillfully slipped under the blade, raised an upward arc, and passed through the horse bandit's throat. The horse bandit fell with blood spattered, and Zhikarizhen made a gesture to the fat tiger in the distance.
With a gesture, he ran down the sentry tower. Fat Tiger ran over, picked up the big axe, and held the oil paper bag tightly in his hand.
Zhikarizhen walked to the mouth of the ravine and looked down. There was a long and winding deep ravine with no bottom visible. The faint light of the fire flickered, forming a twisting shadow on the rock wall, and the faint laughter and curses of the horse bandits could be heard. "Slow down and follow behind, don't let the horse bandits escape." Zhikarizhen leaned sideways against the stone wall, his body flat, like a gecko crouching lightly.
The deep ravine winds all the way down and is extremely spacious. Zhikari really saw the bright torches of pine trees stuck on both sides, making a sizzling sound. Two horse bandits leaned against the rock wall and guarded the front.
Zhikarizhen swam and slid silently across the rock wall. The moment he approached the opponent, the two horse bandits noticed it at the same time. Just as they were about to shout a warning, two crimson sword lights came one after the other, like jade scissors, criss-crossing.
Cross the horse bandit's neck.
Blood splattered, and two horrified-looking heads flew up. Zhikarizhen's broken sword spun in mid-air, and lightly caught the falling heads without making a sound. This time to kill the horse bandits, he still used the snowy night to kill the horse bandits.
Gong Yantu's sword-style response. The three-kill machine Jianqi will drain the opponent's flesh and blood and essence. Afterwards, the body will be inspected, which will cause trouble.
Zhikarizhen went deeper, and a vast and flat stone flat came into view. The exposed ore was white and shiny, reflecting the bright light all around. The horse bandits gathered in small groups to barbecue and eat wine around the campfire.
, playing guessing games and scolding, throwing the machete in a mess on the ground.
Zhikari suddenly felt that it was tricky. Once he killed this open and bright place, he would definitely be surrounded by horse thieves. It would be difficult to defeat them one by one like before. His eyes swept around repeatedly. There was a row of dense caves to the north of Shiping.
Covered with thick soft fur, it is obviously a resting place for horse thieves. To the east are piles of bulging sacks, like a granary. To the west is a ravine winding downwards, with the bottom as far as the eye can see.
A sudden thought occurred in my heart. Where is the horse thief's horse?
He clung to the stone wall, first slid upwards, and then circled to the west. When no one was paying attention, he plunged into the ravine, and lay down.
He heard the sound of gurgling water in the distance and looked around. The entire rock ravine sloped down, like a giant fan covering downwards. The bottom of the slope connected to a large flat land, with some luminous blue-green ore scattered here and there. Farther away, a strip of
The sparkling underground river flows through it. The river surface is wide and the waves are gentle. The riverside is densely covered with moss and weeds, dwarf ferns and wild flowers. Countless crisscrossing ditches extend on both sides, like an intricate underground maze. Some passages are deep and secluded.
They are unpredictable, huge enough to accommodate a galloping horse, some are as narrow as holes, and dense as honeycombs.
Zhikarizhen took a brief look and headed straight for the underground river. Hundreds of horses gathered by the river, drinking water and eating grass. A teenage horse bandit took a horse brush and cleaned the horses one by one. There were also
A bearded horse bandit squatted down, whipping the little horse bandit from time to time with the whip in his hand, cursing in his mouth.
Zikari Maomao lowered his waist, and with the help of the blockage of the horses, he quickly approached the horse bandit. The little horse bandit turned sideways, trying to pull the horse's rein, and happened to catch a glimpse of Zikari Mao's figure passing by. The two looked at each other, and the little horse was
The deep blue eyes blinked, and a strange light flashed through them.
Zhikarizhen flicked his wrist and was about to throw the broken sword. The pony bandit turned back as if nothing had happened, bent down, and dipped the horse brush in the river to wash it.
Zhi Kaizhen was slightly startled, and the bearded horse bandit swung out his whip, causing the little horse bandit to stumble forward and fall headlong into the river, with water splashing everywhere. "You little bastard, you are so damn lazy! You can't finish your work.
Eat all my shit tonight!" The bearded bandit cursed viciously, grabbing a handful of weeds and going to wipe his butt.

The little horseman struggled to get up, turned around slowly, and stared directly at the bearded horseman, with water droplets mixed with blood flowing from his bruised forehead.
"You little bastard, you dare to glare at me, are you going to fucking rebel?" The bearded horse bandit raised his whip angrily, and his heart suddenly hurt. He looked down and saw the tip of a sword sticking out of his chest. Zhikarizhen was behind him.
Pulling out the broken sword, blood splattered, and the horse thief fell to the ground with a plop.
"Don't kill me." The little horse bandit held his head in his hands, looked at Zhikarizhen calmly, and said as quickly as possible, "I know where the horse bandit's treasure is, and I can take you there. I also know this place.
There is a secret way out of Yingchou Valley."
Zhikarizhen's wrist shook slightly, and the tip of his sword pointed at the pony bandit: "Why should I run away?"
"If you kill all the horse bandits, you won't come here secretly. There must be horse bandits above, and you sneaked in. You can't go out from above with the horse bandits' treasure. You need a secret passage. I can
Lead the way, as long as you let me go." The little horse bandit looked directly at Zhikarizhen and talked eloquently, "If you have a grudge against the horse bandits, then so do I. I was captured by the horse bandits a year ago and had to fight for them
Raising horses, I have suffered so much humiliation that I wish I could kill them all!"
Zhikarizhen pondered for a moment and asked: "Where does the secret path lead?"
The pony bandit replied readily: "From here, you have to walk along the river and pass through some dark caves. The exit is under a lake outside the slaughterhouse."
"Since you hate horse thieves, why don't you find an opportunity to escape through the secret passage?" Zhikarizhen moved his hand forward and pressed the broken sword against the opponent's neck.
The pony bandit didn't even look at the sword blade, and there was no fear on his face: "I don't know how to use martial arts. If I escape, I will be chased by the horse bandit. Besides, I have suffered so much, how can I just pat my butt and leave? Anyway, it's okay.
You have to wait for an opportunity."
Zhikarizhen frowned and said: "What chance?"
"Like now," the little pony bandit chuckled, showing his white fangs, "a chance to do it hard!"
Zhikarizhen looked at the other person again. The pony bandit had disheveled hair, an angular face, a high nose bridge, sunken eye sockets, and his pupils were dark blue like mountains. He was not tall, but he was still strong and wheat-colored.
The arms and calves are covered with scars and bruises.
"Are you a Yan person?" Zhi Shouzhen heard from traveling merchants in the past that most of the nomadic tribes in the northern part of the Yan Dynasty had high noses, deep eyes, and brown skin. They were good at horse training, were fond of spirits, and lived in pursuit of water and grass.
The pony bandit was silent for a moment and did not answer.
Zhi Kaizhen took back the broken sword and said slowly: "I want to kill all the horse bandits above, but I don't want to be surrounded by them. Do you have any idea?"
The little horse bandit's eyes lit up: "Follow me!" He ran for a few steps, then turned back, walked to the bearded horse bandit's body, grabbed a stone, and slammed it down. "Bang - bang -
Bang!——" The dull impact sound was like the roar of a ferocious beast. The horse bandit's face was smashed, plasma and blood spattered, and his skull was sunken and deformed. The little horse bandit dug out the horse bandit's eyeballs, threw them into his mouth, and bit them loudly.
Squeaking: "It feels good now, let's go!" He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, and ran towards the dense ditch on the opposite side.
"This is the stable, and this is where the leader of the horse bandits, Wang Mazi, lives. At the other end is the prison cell... Look, this is the warehouse where the horse bandits hide their money!" The little horse bandit led Zhi Kaizhen through several caves.
, walked to a large iron door with a padlock, took out a thin iron wire from his hair, inserted it into the keyhole, and stirred it a few times. With a "click", the latch popped open, and the pony bandit pushed the door open.
Obediently step aside.
Zhikarizhen caught a glimpse of several dark iron boxes inside, and suddenly, the wings of the eight-winged golden cicada in his soul vibrated, restless, and let out a cry that sounded like longing and fear.
