Huge raindrops began to pound against the stones, forcing them to retreat to the next level. This action came just in time, because moments later, the downpour began.
Even through the thick walls, you can hear the sound of raindrops hitting the lake surface.
They sat in the empty room, the surrounding darkness gradually gathering.
The north-facing balcony faces an abandoned village.
Lin Mo peeked out from across the lake to see what the Lone Wolf assassin was like.
With his current strength, taking on a Xuanhua Palace assassin one-on-one wouldn't be a problem.
However, if surrounded by several people, there is still danger!
Although Xiang Yu was strong, his opponents outnumbered him. If possible, Lin Mo would choose not to take any risks!
“He took shelter from the rain in the ruins of the inn,” Lin Mo said softly, “and it seems he even started a fire.”
It seems that these lone wolf assassins did not discover Lin Mo and his companion immediately.
The heavy rain made the weather increasingly damp and cold, and Lin Mo also needed the flames to warm his body.
But he knew that starting a fire would produce smoke. The smoke rising from this place could be seen from a great distance.
After this period of time, Lin Mo can exchange seven Nightmare Riders from the system.
Assassins can kill these lone wolves with ease.
However, Zhao Wushi had told him that if he didn't want his whereabouts to be discovered by the divine servants again, it was best not to use the system to exchange for any soldiers or generals.
As for Xiang Yu, Zhao Wushi had already removed the mark from Lin Mo's body, so that he would no longer be tracked by the divine servants.
This is also why Zhao Wushi thought he only sent Lin Mo to bring Xiang Yu to Dongpange.
At the same time, Lin Mo himself guessed another reason.
The system can create figures like Bai Qi, Xu Chu, and Nightmare Cavalry, and brainwash them to make them unconditionally obey Lin Mo.
Presumably, the servants of the gods also possess some kind of ability to forcibly change their thinking, making them regard Lin Mo as an enemy who must be killed!
So Lin Mo and Xiang Yu hid there, waiting for them to leave.
Gradually, night fell, and the rain continued to fall.
The room was gray, gradually turning pitch black.
Xiang Yu was getting impatient. How could the mighty Hegemon-King of Western Chu be so humiliated?
He was restless, pacing back and forth, going around the room again and again.
Lin Mo stood on the north-facing balcony, hiding in the shadows, gazing into the darkness and the heavy rain.
Somewhere in the north, lightning struck the sky, instantly illuminating the interior of a room.
"Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen!" Lin Mo murmured. "Eighteen people in total, eighteen top-tier lone wolf assassins!"
"Perhaps I could send Xiang Yu to slaughter them without leaving a single survivor?"
However, the next second, he rejected his own idea.
It's also possible that the other side knew he was there, but was wary of Xiang Yu's strength and deliberately pretended not to notice.
At this moment, lightning tore through the sky again, and Xiang Yu frowned.
It seems he really wants to rush to the other side and kill all these lone wolf assassins.
Immediately afterwards, a thunderclap rolled across the lake.
"My lord, let me go and kill them!" Xiang Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Lin Mo frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Alright! But, it'll be the two of us going together!"
Rather than waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative!
Then, Lin Mo and Xiang Yu walked out of the back door, stood in the rain, and lay low in the bushes.
The sky overhead was torn apart by lightning, and thunder roared.
The smell of rotten fruit trees and damp leaves almost completely masked the traces, but the traces still remained.
Lin Mo heard the sound of hard leather rubbing and saw the Lone Wolf assassin moving around the room.
At that moment, three more men carrying short swords crouched down and walked by, their heads covered with hoods and masks.
"Damn it, they really were trying to ambush me!" Lin Mo thought to himself. "You bastards are really good at playing tricks!"
So he and Xiang Yu went far away and came to a thicket of dripping thorns, above which were the bare branches of apple trees.
He heard the voices of the lone wolf assassins conversing amidst the scents of rain, leaves, and horses…
"Are you sure it's the Regent of Great Xia?" one of the Lone Wolf assassins asked.
"There's no mistake! It's definitely him!"
"That's strange. Why is he here in Dongpango instead of commanding the battle in Great Xia?"
"Kill him as planned!"
“No, no, we have more important things to do right now!” said a short, lone wolf assassin. “The people from Xuanhua Palace have already arrived on our territory.”
"Xuanhua Palace?" Lin Mo was shocked. "The Xuanhua Palace betrayed my Xuanhua Palace and actually came to Dongpange?"
What are they here for?
The next second, the lone wolf's man gave the answer, "They... are indiscriminately killing our people."
"What?" Lin Mo was shocked again. "The person who killed Lone Wolf?"
This is very puzzling!
“Our primary target is the Regent of Great Xia!” said a tall, slender lone wolf assassin. “He’s nearby right now. How can we miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”
"Yes, let's kill the Regent of Great Xia first, and deal with the rest later."
"No, we can't underestimate him!" said the shorter lone wolf assassin. "Be careful of his guards! This man's aura is extremely powerful; his strength is definitely no less than that of the Xuanhua Palace Master!"
"We have eighteen men, are we afraid of just one guard?"
“Yes, we can send our three strongest men to attack the Regent of Great Xia, while the others surround his guards. That way, we can definitely take Lin Mo’s head.”
"Damn it, I guessed right again," Lin Mo thought to himself.
Hmph, there's no time to lose, we must take action immediately.
Lin Mo had already noticed that the other side's leader had agreed to the plan and was just waiting to designate the person who would attack him.
