Chapter 211 Heads Slashed Without a Word
The second-in-command of Bear Ridge followed Heiwa to the stone gate passage and saw Lin Luoxi, who looked pitiful and had a pale face.
Her slender body trembled with fear, and I felt a pang of inexplicable heartache.
"Is this the bandit leader's kidnapped wife?" the second-in-command asked, his eyes never leaving Lin Luoxi.
This girl was completely different from the girls her older brother usually kidnapped; you could tell at a glance she was a young lady from a wealthy family.
She looks like an angel, with fair skin and a delicate, fragile appearance that easily arouses a man's protective instincts.
Lin Jize followed behind Lin Luoxi and also saw the way the second-in-command looked at Lin Luoxi. He frowned and took two steps forward to block the second-in-command's view.
With his view blocked, the second-in-command regained his senses. Not seeing his elder brother, he looked at Heiwa and asked, "Where's my brother? Didn't you say he kidnapped this girl and came up here? Why haven't I seen him?"
Given his lecherous nature, how could he not keep a close eye on such a stunningly beautiful woman after kidnapping her?
"The head of the family said that the number eightieth concubine is auspicious, and he's going to have a big celebration for her tonight. He's taking some of his brothers down the mountain to buy the things needed for the wedding." These were the last-minute instructions from Lin Luoxi.
"Young master, save me! I don't want to marry that big bear!" Lin Luoxi, who was originally trembling, forced herself to shed a few tears in order to act, and knelt down in front of the second-in-command.
"Cough cough..." When he heard Lin Luoxi describe his older brother as looking like a big bear, the second-in-command almost couldn't hold back and could only cover his mouth with his fist to prevent others from seeing his upturned lips.
“Girl, don’t worry. My brother may look a bit rough, but he has a good heart.”
"As long as you live a good life with my older brother, you will be well-off and wealthy."
Although he felt that Lin Luoxi's description was very accurate, this was the woman his elder brother had taken a liking to, and he didn't want to turn against his elder brother because of a woman.
No matter how beautiful the other person is, all he can do is offer a few words of comfort.
"Young master, life isn't the same no matter who you live with. Your elder brother is really... I'm scared... I'm scared..." Seeing that the second-in-command had no sympathy whatsoever, Lin Luoxi stood up and ran towards him.
The second-in-command didn't notice Lin Luoxi's actions and assumed she just wanted to ask for his help, so he wasn't on guard.
As a result, he realized something was wrong when a slender hand grabbed his throat.
“Young lady, I advise you to just give up and surrender…” The second-in-command felt that this was his Bear Ridge, heavily guarded, and even if Lin Luoxi had kidnapped him, she would have no chance of escaping.
"Heh, heh heh, I was just testing whether you, as a man, had any compassion. If you had any conscience at all, I was thinking of playing with you a little longer. But now I've lost my patience. You can go report to your older brother now."
"Crack!" The sound of a neck being snapped rang in everyone's ears.
Everyone shuddered and couldn't help but reach out and touch their necks. Finding that their necks were still intact, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Luoxi loosened her grip on the second-in-command's hand and tossed the already lifeless man aside.
"What a waste of such a good-looking face. I thought someone as handsome as him would have some conscience. Well, if he had a conscience, why would he become a bandit?"
Lin Luoxi left with these words, stepped over the second-in-command's body, and walked into the mountain stronghold.
"Kill!" Lin Luoxi gave the order to the bears as she saw the bandits rushing out of the stronghold.
"Roar!" Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's command, the bears excitedly charged towards the bandits who had once fed them.
All they could think about was that if they behaved well, they would definitely get more good food.
When faced with bandits charging at them with weapons, the bears took the lead, each one swatting a bandit away with a single paw.
Without Lin Luoxi and the others even lifting a finger, they could easily crush these bandits.
Seeing the bears fighting so fiercely, the bamboo viper on Lin Luoxi's wrist flew out from her wrist and bit one of the charging bandits. The sharp venom of its teeth instantly knocked the bandits down.
"This is incredible." Lin Jize swallowed hard when he saw the bears' fighting power.
No wonder the imperial court sent troops to suppress bandits before, but they couldn't take down Bear Ridge, such a tough nut to crack, for a long time. It turns out that this is Bear Ridge's trump card.
The bandits of Bear Ridge, relying on the fighting power of these bears, committed atrocities for miles around, yet no one could do anything about them.
Today, they've finally met their nemesis, encountering the unpredictable Lin Luoxi, who has completely turned the bandit stronghold of Bear Ridge upside down.
By the time Lin Jize realized what was happening, Lin Luoxi was nowhere to be seen. Terrified, he searched everywhere for her, worried that she might have been captured by a hidden expert.
Meanwhile, Lin Luoxi, seeing that everyone was drawn to the fighting prowess of the bears and bamboo vipers, quietly slipped away when no one was looking.
Guided by her intuition for treasure, she traversed the bandit stronghold and found the residence of the bandit leader.
It wasn't that Lin Luxi was particularly capable, but rather that, based on calculations, the courtyard with the most women in the backyard was definitely the head of the household's courtyard.
Lin Luoxi's figure flashed swiftly through the area filled with lanterns, as fast as the wind, and disappeared into the room where two guards were still standing at the entrance.
"This room is obviously a place to hide treasures." Lin Luoxi's intuition about treasures was very accurate. She randomly entered a room, which was filled with all kinds of gold objects.
Lin Luoxi wasn't going to just stare at the gold objects laid out before her; she placed her hands on the gold-made bottles, tables, and stools...
"Hehe, I didn't expect someone who looks like that to also like gold. I'm so lucky." Lin Luoxi planned to melt down all these extravagant items when she got back and make some jewelry that a proper young lady could wear.
He put all the gold-plated objects in the room into his space, and listened intently to the sounds outside.
Finding that the bears hadn't yet reached this area, Lin Luoxi continued to observe the room.
"I almost missed this." Lin Xi glanced at the golden horse on the frame and walked over with a smile, intending to put the horse into her spatial storage.
"Huh, why can't I move it?" Lin Luoxi placed her hand on the horse and silently prayed, but the horse remained perfectly intact on the frame.
"Could this horse be the switch to the legendary secret door?" Lin Luoxi put her hand in and pressed it hard, and found that she actually managed to press it down.
"Boom!" The familiar rumble of the stone door opening came from beside my ears.
