Chapter 18 Dark Moon and Stormy Night
Nine Clouds Mountain.
As a collective name for a series of hills, stretching for dozens of miles, it is the only large mountain range in Licheng County, and it is also the most active and prosperous area of 'land bandits'.
From Licheng to Jiuyun Mountain.
One hundred and thirty miles, basically a plain, for a warrior who is familiar with the environment, he can arrive in an hour or two.
But it was the first time for Wu Yuan to step out of the city and enter the natural zone of Middle-earth.
Even though he has already memorized geographical figures, there is a gap between books and reality, and he should be cautious. Instead of asking others for directions, he avoided passers-by as much as possible.
In the end, after three full hours, he was able to enter the mountain. When night fell completely, he climbed over two mountains and entered the deep area of Jiuyun Mountain. Wu Yuan stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the quite Lively Dazhai.
Dazhai is brightly lit, quite conspicuous in the mountains.
"Here, it should be the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang." Wu Yuan whispered to himself, and when he raised his hand, the bronze mask was already on his face.
at the same time.
"Crackling!" Wu Yuan's bones seemed to become tighter, and his whole body suddenly became a lot shorter, and his arms, waist, and thighs also became a little thicker.
In the blink of an eye, he looked like a strong man less than 1.7 meters tall.
Holding a long knife in hand.
"I don't know who is behind this Fierce Tiger Gang." Wu Yuan silently watched the big village: "How dare you set up a big village so arrogantly."
Small groups of land bandits and water thieves usually roam around. After all, the strength of the guards in each county and township alone cannot be underestimated.
Even those large gangs and bandits have lairs, they are generally low-key and will try to keep it secret.
After all, whether it is the city guards of the counties or the powerful Nanmeng Army, they are well trained and well-equipped in normal battle formations, and these bandits and bandits are by no means able to resist.
As arrogant as the Tiger Gang? rare!
It is almost telling everyone clearly, 'I have someone in the court'.
"Alright, if I don't set up a big village, I won't be able to find it so easily." Wu Yuan said silently: "Not long after nightfall, the members of the Fierce Tiger Clan may not have fallen asleep, so we can't wait. We must find out where the patriarch is as soon as possible." where."
It stands to reason that the best time to attack and kill is in the middle of the night, when people are most relaxed.
But time is tight.
Wu Yuan didn't dare to gamble. For him, revenge was the only goal, but the first goal was to save the patriarch.
He is grateful to the patriarch.
"Although the time is a bit wrong, it is just right because there is no moon today." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, there was no light in the night sky.
Not to mention the moonlight, there are not even a few stars.
It was pitch black, which made the Dazhai very conspicuous.
"The wind is blowing." Wu Yuan closed his eyes, silently feeling the howling gusts of wind, constantly adjusting his inner thoughts.
Some people clearly have 100% of their strength, but at the moment of life and death, they can only exert 80% or even 50% of their strength.
It means that the heart is not strong enough and stable enough.
"Huh!" Wu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils have completely changed, become as cold as frost, with murderous intent highlighted.
Whoosh!
With a movement of his body, Wu Yuan stepped on a branch, with invisible force penetrating into the branch, gently 'sliding' several feet away, and stepped on the next branch.
The pitch-black mountain forest was almost daylight in Wu Yuan's eyes, quickly approaching Dazhai on the mountainside.
Moon dark and windy night.
The day of murder and arson!
…
The Liehu Gang is not an ordinary refugee, but a large-scale gang that has developed over the years. The organizational structure of Dazhai is relatively strict, with clear divisions between top and bottom, and naturally tight defenses.
There are patrol guards, there are clear posts, and there are secret posts.
But.
What kind of master is Wu Yuan? It's not the beginning of his time travel. Since he has been awake for more than four months, not only his physical strength has greatly improved, he is close to the peak of his previous life.
His spiritual perception is also growing stronger, although it is still not as good as the peak of the previous life, but it is far beyond the beginning of sobriety.
It was easy, Wu Yuan, like a ghost, had avoided the heavy guards at the outermost perimeter of Dazhai, and was on the side of the high wall of Dazhai.
Leaping lightly, Wu Yuan landed in a corner of Dazhai.
"Information on Qunxinglou, I only know the position of the head of the Tiger Gang, but the internal structure of Dazhai? I don't know." Wu Yuan hid his figure and observed all directions.
Some areas are dimly lit, and some areas are completely dark.
An inconspicuous guard post in Dazhai.
"I don't blame you. The last time the hall master asked you to pick off a few heads, you were half a beat late. How could the hall master be pleasing to your eyes?" The obviously older minion snorted.
"That's just a few dolls!" The young man couldn't help but say.
"So what about the little baby? Didn't you make a move in the end?" The middle-aged minion said disdainfully: "If you become a thief, you have to be ruthless. Otherwise, why did you join the Fierce Tiger Gang? Could it be that you are doing justice for the sky?"
The young minion was silent.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past, and the two sentry guards felt their eyes go dark, and fell to the ground at the same time.
"Huh!" "Huh!" With two hands, they easily held the two of them, preventing them from falling to the ground, and then the three of them floated directly into the inconspicuous house beside them, and the door was gently closed.
There is no one in the house.
"Boom~" "Boom~" The two guards fell to the ground at the same time, and then Wu Yuan gently tapped the waist of the older guard.
"Huh?" The middle-aged guard suddenly woke up, what happened to him?
Immediately, he was horrified to find that a bronze masked figure was standing in front of him, carrying a large package on his back.
He understood almost instantly that an enemy had sneaked in.
"Don't talk." Wu Yuan's voice was hoarse: "I ask, you answer, if you hide anything, you will definitely die! If you answer honestly, maybe you can save your life."
"Nod if you like." Wu Yuan looked down at him.
The middle-aged guard nodded frantically.
"Let me ask you, where are the people captured by the Tiger Gang usually detained?" Wu Yuan asked.
"On the east side of Dazhai, there is a small three-story building. Those arrested by the gang are usually detained there." The middle-aged guard even whispered.
"Okay, now, shut up!" Wu Yuan said indifferently, and stretched out his hand to lightly press the waist of the young guard beside him.
Based on Wu Yuan's control over his body, he knows too well how to quickly make people unconscious and awake.
Hoo! The young guard soon sobered up.
In just a few seconds, he understood his situation and was shocked.
It should be noted that the strength of the two of their guards is close to that of a sixth-rank martial artist, and they have been caught without knowing it? There is not even the slightest room for resistance.
"Look at me, let me ask you, the three-story small building on the east side of Dazhai, is your gang leader living in it?" Wu Yuan said coldly, "Say it!"
"It's not the guild leader. The guild leader lives in the small courtyard next to the small building. The small building is home to the two hall masters and the fierce tiger..." the young guard said out in horror.
He didn't notice the change in the face of the middle-aged guard at the side.
Boom.
The middle-aged guard on the side seemed to have regained his mobility, and he jumped suddenly, with a grim face, and a short blade appeared in his hand, stabbing fiercely at Wu Yuan's chest.
At such a close range, he felt that the top players might not be able to avoid it.
"Pfft!"
A flash of light flashed across, and Wu Yuan passed by the side of the middle-aged guard in an instant like a ghost. There was a gap in the guard's throat, and blood gushed out, which couldn't be stopped at all.
"Ah~~" The middle-aged guard's eyes widened, and he couldn't help covering his neck with his hands, but he couldn't stop the blood at all.
He wanted to make a sound, but couldn't make a sound, and fell backwards with a bang.
But Wu Yuan took it over and put it down gently.
The young guard on the side was completely frightened. He joined the Fierce Tiger Gang not long ago. Although he had experienced several robberies, this was the first time he was so close to death.
"He lied, so he died." Wu Yuan's voice was hoarse and calm: "If you lie, you will die too."
"I ask, you continue to answer..."
In the next two minutes, Wu Yuan asked every sentence, and the young guard was terrified, and he knew everything and said everything.
"Last question, how many heads did you pick off last time?" Wu Yuan asked abruptly.
The young guard was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Three."
"Wow!"
Another slash of light like lightning cut across the neck of the young guard, his head fell to the ground, his body fell to the ground, and blood flowed across the ground.
Until he died, his eyes were wide open, seemingly unbelievable.
"Is this what it feels like to kill someone?" Wu Yuan whispered to himself, looking down at the two corpses on the ground.
His heart became colder.
"Killers, people will always kill them. This Middle-earth world is much crueler than the previous life. There is no law, and strength is the most respected. Maybe one day, I will be killed." Wu Yuan had a clear understanding in his heart.
He groped for the bodies of the two people, took out a few bank notes, put them in his arms, moved his body, and gently floated out of the house.
Sneak towards the 'Prisoner' to the north of Dazhai.
