Time ticked by, but Liu Xiaoyuan still had no good solution. If he kept wasting time like this, dawn would break soon.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked up at the sky. The sky was dotted with stars, and a crescent moon hung in the sky. Summer days usually bring early dawn, and once it's light, things become even more difficult.
"I'll risk it all!" Liu Xiaoyuan clenched his fist and summoned Dao Zhi to replace Shi Qian.
Liu Xiaoyuan changed his mind at the last minute because he intended to strike with certainty. After all, in the world of thieves, Dao Zhi was considered a mid-level figure, while Shi Qian was only a low-level one.
Therefore, Robber Zhi must have had more outstanding abilities than Shi Qian.
Once Dao Zhi was on his back, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't waste any time. He ran towards the medicinal field where Xuexiang Grass was planted, his feet barely touching the ground. Dao Zhi was indeed a mid-level expert. He moved with incredible speed, making absolutely no sound. When he ran past, he even left a faint afterimage!
Xiao Qingfeng said that the Snow Fragrance is located in the middle of this land, and that the Snow Fragrance is completely different from other medicinal herbs.
Snow vanilla is pure white and has a pleasant fragrance, making it easy to identify.
"who?"
"roar……"
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan reached the center of the medicinal herb field, the six guards and the two Tibetan mastiffs simultaneously made noises.
When Liu Xiaoyuan saw that the guards and Tibetan mastiffs had discovered him, he wasn't surprised at all. The guards and Tibetan mastiffs weren't blind or deaf; it was only a matter of time before they discovered him.
Liu Xiaoyuan originally thought he would be discovered as soon as he made a sound, but the fact that he was only discovered now is a pleasant surprise.
Liu Xiaoyuan ignored the guards and the Tibetan mastiffs' voices and carefully searched the field for the whereabouts of the snow hyacinth.
At the same time, the six guards immediately stood up from the stone chairs. One went to report the news and call for help, while the other five immediately ran towards the key area to try to stop Liu Xiaoyuan's actions.
The two Tibetan mastiffs opened their big dog eyes, stood up from the ground, and ran aggressively towards Liu Xiaoyuan. In other words, Liu Xiaoyuan was now attacked from both sides.
Liu Xiaoyuan was extremely anxious. He didn't have much time left. If the five guards and two Tibetan mastiffs pounced on him, he would have even less time to find Xuexiangcao.
Furthermore, given enough time, the Li family's experts will definitely be mobilized, making it difficult to leave!
"Great!" Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was extremely anxious, a ray of light shone on him, and he discovered the whereabouts of Xue Xiangcao.
The snow sage plant, only a dozen centimeters tall, stood there like a white swan, surrounded by no weeds, and was particularly eye-catching on a summer night.
Liu Xiaoyuan could feel the fragrance of snow hyacinth.
"Roar!" Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was about to reach out and uproot the snow hyacinth, the first Tibetan mastiff that arrived pounced on Liu Xiaoyuan's back.
As a master thief, his vigilance and ability to sense danger were absolutely top-notch. He sensed the Tibetan mastiff lunging at his back as soon as it attacked.
Although Tibetan mastiffs are not as powerful as the internet makes them out to be, they are definitely not weak in combat. If you get bitten by one of these beasts, you'll either die or lose a chunk of flesh.
So, without bothering to pick the snow grass that was right in front of him, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly turned around and kicked it out.
Tibetan mastiffs are animals after all, and their brains aren't as sharp as humans'. Faced with Liu Xiaoyuan's kick, the Tibetan mastiff didn't know how to dodge and then pounced on Liu Xiaoyuan with all its might.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan is, after all, a master of internal strength. No, Liu Xiaoyuan is now possessed by Dao Zhi, who is indeed a master of external strength.
So, this kick landed directly on the Tibetan Mastiff's lower abdomen, sending it flying.
The Tibetan mastiff, kicked away, crashed heavily to the ground, yelped in pain a few times, and then lay motionless, presumably dead.
After dealing with the Tibetan mastiff, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately turned around, intending to snatch Xue Xiangcao. However, because of the delay caused by the mastiff, one of the guards had already attacked.
Although these guards were all at the Ming Jin realm, it would take Liu Xiaoyuan time to deal with them. And right now, time was of paramount importance to Liu Xiaoyuan; every second wasted meant a greater danger!
"Get out of my way!" Seeing the guard attack him, Liu Xiaoyuan roared in anger and kicked the guard away. Fortunately, the guard reacted in time and blocked Liu Xiaoyuan's kick with his hands. Otherwise, he would have ended up like the Tibetan mastiff.
This delay allowed two more guards, along with the remaining Tibetan mastiff, to pounce.
Liu Xiaoyuan realized that if he didn't deal with these guards and Tibetan mastiffs, he probably wouldn't have time to pick snow grass.
Just then, one guard attacked Liu Xiaoyuan from behind, another from the side, while the Tibetan Mastiff lunged at Liu Xiaoyuan from the front with its gaping jaws.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan lowered his body, braced himself with his hands on the ground, stretched out his right leg, and swept it across the guard who was attacking from his side.
Because Liu Xiaoyuan lowered his body, the Tibetan Mastiff pounced directly on the guard who attacked Liu Xiaoyuan from behind.
"Ah!" The guard's face was bitten by the Tibetan mastiff, and he screamed like a pig being slaughtered in pain. Blood gushed down his face as if it were free.
The remaining two guards, seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's incredible skills and witnessing the fate of their companion, were so frightened that their legs felt like lead and they couldn't move.
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Xiaoyuan rolled forward and uprooted the snow hyacinth.
When Liu Xiaoyuan held the snow herb in his hand, it felt like touching a block of ice; it was so cold that he almost threw it away.
Wow! This thing is so cold! It certainly lives up to its name, Snow Fragrance.
As soon as Xue Xiangcao got her hands on it, the Tibetan Mastiff turned around and pounced on Liu Xiaoyuan again.
Having already obtained the snow jasmine, Liu Xiaoyuan had no intention of lingering here. If the Tibetan mastiff wanted to bite him, he would simply run away.
So Liu Xiaoyuan tried to run away from the Li family along the original route. Once he got out of the Li family's courtyard, he could fly freely in the sky and leap freely in the sea!
"Who dares to be so bold as to steal from my Li family!" Just then, a loud shout reached Liu Xiaoyuan's ears; the voice arrived before the person.
Moreover, judging from the tone of that voice, he must have a fiery temper.
Damn, the Li family arrived really fast!
Liu Xiaoyuan dared not delay. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away was the best. If more experts from the Li family arrived, he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.
Upon hearing this voice, the two guards who had been too frightened to make a move immediately became energized and blocked Liu Xiaoyuan's path!
