The scorching sun slowly sinks into the western horizon, and the dark night is about to envelope this land.
Next to this slightly deserted path, the orange bonfire danced lightly, adding a bit of brightness to the gradually darkening world.
Beside the fire, Oscar and Zhuju were eating freshly grilled meat skewers, eating dry food in their hands, and talking about their thoughts about soul guides.
But Ma Hongjun, who was eating dry food alone, could only look at the two of them with a look of resentment.
Since Zhuju joined the team, the communication between Oscar and Ma Hongjun has become much less. Whenever they have free time, Oscar and Zhuju will start to exchange knowledge about soul tools.
Ma Hongjun, who knew nothing, could only watch silently.
This made Ma Hongjun feel abandoned.
Ma Hongjun: The baby feels miserable, but the baby doesn’t say anything! (??.??)
Perhaps feeling Ma Hongjun's resentment, the two communicated for a while and then started doing their own things.
The crescent moon was hanging in the sky, and it was midnight. Oscar, who was sitting by the fire and keeping watch, was trying to assemble his first soul guide. Just at the critical moment when he was assembling it, suddenly the bushes beside the road suddenly erupted.
There is a rustling sound.
Oscar, who was disturbed, frowned and secretly glanced toward the bushes out of the corner of his eyes with some annoyance.
Soon, Oscar discovered that there were about twenty figures quietly approaching him.
When Oscar saw this scene, the corner of his mouth raised a cold arc, and he silently put the unassembled soul guide in his hand into the storage soul guide on his waist.
As those figures continued to approach, Oscar's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he suddenly attacked these people.
Oscar stood up suddenly, quickly took out a Zhuge Liannu from the soul guide on his waist, and then aimed at these black figures.
Under the bright moonlight, the crossbow arrows emitted a cold light, after Oscar pulled the trigger.
He ejaculated quickly.
In an instant, accompanied by the man's shrill scream, several blood flowers spattered from the bushes.
Suddenly, about half of the twenty or so black figures in the bushes were reduced.
Seeing that he had been discovered, a rough voice came from the bushes.
"Mom* is a *bastard! Stop hiding, we have been discovered!"
"Everyone, hurry up and surround them!"
After receiving the leader's order, the robbers who were still a little panic calmed down.
They quickly followed the leader's instructions and surrounded the three Oscars.
At this time, both Ma Hongjun and Zhuju came out of the tent.
Watching a dozen ragged robbers surrounding their camp.
Ma Hongjun waved his hands to these robbers impatiently.
"Get out of here! Don't interfere with Fatty's cultivation here."
Hearing Ma Hongjun's impatient voice, among the robbers, a slightly muscular man stepped forward carrying a relatively sophisticated ring-headed sword.
The man has a tattered leather armor, messy hair, and a slightly withered face. A scar about ten centimeters long runs along the center of his eyebrows to the lower end of his right cheek. Combined with the ferocious expression, the whole person is a bit more ferocious.
, a breath of violence.
He looked at Ma Hongjun for a moment, then spat on the ground and said jokingly.
"Boy, I see your hair is not even long, so why are you learning to be an uncle?"
"Please tell me clearly, who is surrounding whom now? Do you really think..."
Before the robber leader had finished speaking, Oscar's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He pressed his legs down slightly, and then suddenly straightened them.
In an instant, Oscar turned into a ghost in the night. The robber leader only felt a dozen pale golden lights flash by, and all his ten men fell to the ground.
After reacting, he was about to pick up the ring-shou knife on his shoulder to fight Oscar, when his eyes were dazzled, and a pale golden cold light flickered, already only two centimeters away from his neck. p>
A suffocating chill seemed to pass through, and the two-centimeter distance traveled along his neck to his brain. In just a blink of an eye, the robber leader's forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, and a stream of cold sweat spread from his neck.
The fear overflowing deep in his heart made his teeth chatter.
He only felt his limbs go limp, and the big knife with a ring in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, and then he collapsed to the ground, kowtowing to Oscar and begging for mercy.
Seeing the robber leader begging for mercy, Ma Hongjun said with some complaint, "Since we approached the boundary of Yanxi City, we have already encountered three waves of robbers in just two days. What a bad luck!"
Oscar did not answer, but calmly waved a shadow with the cold light in his hand, and then the begging robber leader fell to the ground.
The reason why he did not let go of the robber leader was because Oscar felt a murderous spirit in him, and if he wanted to gather the murderous spirit, it would be impossible without a few lives on his hands. Oscar would feel no shame in killing him.
In the heart.
After the cold light dissipated, Oscar looked into the bushes and said calmly, "Come out! Don't pretend to be dead! I know you are not dead!"
Hearing Oscar's words, the young man lying in the bushes opened his eyes, and there was a trace of hesitation in his smart eyes, but he soon made the right decision.
I saw this monkey-faced boy pushing the body that was pressing on him away, and walked out of the bushes with a slight gasp.
After coming out, the young man suppressed the fear in his heart, showed a flattering smile, bowed to the three Oscars and thanked them, "Thank you, the three soul masters for not killing me!"
Seeing this lean and clever young man bowing to the three of them respectively, Oscar quietly walked to the fire and sat down, then threw a piece of wood into the fire. The originally dim bonfire
It suddenly became a little brighter.
Oscar stared at the flames and said calmly to Zhuju and Ma Hongjun, "Fat man, Zhuju should mend those people's knives before burning them again! Otherwise, it will feel weird to continue to camp here."
After hearing Oscar's words, Ma Hongjun and Zhuju's expressions froze, and then they immediately acted according to Oscar's words.
Seeing Zhuju and Oscar burning the corpse there, the young man who was originally flattering showed a very stiff expression on his face, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Glancing at the young man, Oscar asked casually, "Is Yanxi City in chaos?"
Upon hearing Oscar's question, the young man replied honestly, "No! Yanxi City is not chaotic at all! Not only is it not chaotic, it is also quite orderly!"
Hearing the young man's words, Oscar raised his eyebrows and had a doubt in his heart. Was he saying something ironic? But it shouldn't look like it from his expression. Yanxi City was not chaotic at all, so why could he meet him three times in the past two days?
What about the robbers? In the first two times, Oscar could attribute the occurrence of robbers to the fact that this is the border area between the jurisdictions of the two cities.
However, until they met the robbers again just now, Oscar had to start to wonder if it was because of the unrest in Yanxi City.
After thinking for a while, Oscar turned his head and looked at the young man, and said with some confusion, "If that's the case, then why are there so many groups of robbers here? If Yanxi City is as you said, why can't these robbers live a good life?
Do you want to do this life-threatening business?"
Hearing Oscar's doubts, the young man's face showed a trace of sadness.
When he opened his mouth to say something, a cry of hunger came from his stomach.
For a moment, there was a hint of embarrassment on the young man's face, and he said to Oscar with some embarrassment, "My lord, can you give me a bite to eat?"
Oscar couldn't deny it, and muttered a spell in a low voice. The yellow soul ring behind his back continued to emit a soft yellow light. Suddenly, Oscar had a few sausages in his hand that had no recovery effect, and said to the young man, "Let's talk after eating."
Let’s do it!”
Seeing a few more sausages in Oscar's hand, the young man looked slightly dull. For a person like him who had never even left the realm of Yanxi City, a food-based soul master had never appeared in his life.<
/p>
Seeing his expression, Oscar said nothing, but stretched his hand towards him and motioned for him to take it.
The young man did not dare to resist, so he could only accept the sausage doubtfully, eat a little tentatively, and then...
