Boss Niu was running ahead, panting heavily.
He didn't even dare to look back. He could only hear the howling of the bandits chasing after him, which terrified him so much that he ran away with all his might.
"Brothers, let's go! Grab this guy quickly! This guy looks even stronger than the previous one. We can eat several more pounds of meat with him!" the shirtless bandit shouted loudly.
"Oh oh oh!" Several brothers followed behind him, equally excited as if they had reverted to their ancestral ways.
Zhao Youtie, who was tied upside down to a tree by the bandits, secretly opened one of his eyes, which was still relatively good, only to find that the bandit leader was still sitting in the same spot, motionless.
"You guys stay here." The bandit leader looked dangerously in the direction the shirtless bandit had left, stopping the other brothers who wanted to follow. "It's not surprising that someone suddenly appears in this desolate wilderness, but now someone else has come so quickly? Let a few of them go after him."
"We've already sent four people, surely we can catch up with that one person?"
“But brother, it’s not convenient to chase people in these mountains and forests. That guy looks pretty strong. If we catch him, he’ll definitely be much more useful than this skinny guy.”
The bandits spent their days holed up in these mountains and forests, and apart from hunting and killing Zhao Youtie, who had accidentally wandered into their den, they had really no fun.
Now that another man has suddenly appeared, the bandits are getting restless and want to follow their shirtless brother to arrest him.
"Get lost!" The bandit leader glared at the bandit who had spoken and slapped him across the face. "What, you're not listening to me? I told you not to move, did you get a sty in your ass? Stay here!"
"Can't you guys use your brains properly? Someone suddenly runs over and shouts like that. If they fall for the diversionary tactic, they might not even be able to protect this kid, let alone the man. You better stay put."
This bandit leader was dignified and cautious, and he was also stronger and more robust than the other bandits.
"Okay, okay..." The bandit who had been beaten by him did not dare to resist and could only stay to the side in a wronged manner. However, when he saw Zhao Youtie, who was hanging by his hands and feet, out of the corner of his eye, he ran over and kicked him twice more.
Zhao Youtie: "..."
You think you're so great, you're so aloof!
Unable to resist, he could only close his eyes tightly, hoping that the person who escaped wouldn't follow in his footsteps and would run far away.
...
Meanwhile, out of sight of any of them, Little Pink Butterfly and Laifu were standing on a slightly cleaner wooden plank.
"I didn't realize these guys were so cautious. Only four of them managed to escape!" Lai Fu spat at the bandit who was beating someone.
"Hiss—" The bandit felt a sudden pain in his shoulder, looked around but saw nothing.
Did I move too much and pull it?
"Hmph." Little Pink Butterfly tossed the axe in her hand and sneered, "Having a brain but not using it for good doesn't make you a good person! Look at the bones around him, quite a few of them are human bones! Even if we kill them all today, it will be doing a service to the people!"
When she came over earlier, Wanwan had already told her that if necessary, killing someone was not a big deal.
A hint of ferocity flashed in the little pink butterfly's eyes.
Laifu saw this, moved aside slightly, and quickly reminded her, "Hey, Ugly Ghost, be careful. Don't get yourself into trouble because of these people. Wanwan said 'if necessary.' If it's not necessary, let's not kill anyone. If the underworld finds out, that won't be a good thing!"
Upon hearing the name of the underworld, Little Pink Butterfly recalled the aura she had encountered from Black and White Impermanence and immediately suppressed her desire to kill them all.
However, even if killing someone is not an option, cutting off a few limbs is still possible!
The little pink butterfly immediately devised a battle plan in its mind.
The bandit who felt pain in his shoulder after being spat on by Lai Fu felt an even greater urge to hit Zhao Youtie on the head.
"He~tui!"
Zhao Youtie had no strength to resist him, and the way he was hung on the tree left him unable to free his hands and feet, so he could only spit at the bandit.
"You bastard, if you have the guts, kill me! I'd rather die than be reduced to following you damned bandits!" Zhao Youtie cursed with contempt.
"You little brat! If it weren't for our boss seeing that you have some strength and know the way down the mountain, do you think you'd still be alive? You'd be eaten by us like those two kids from a couple of days ago!" The bandit had just been scolded by the bandit leader and had nowhere to vent his anger, and now Zhao Youtie had just walked right into the line of fire.
If he can't handle his own elder brother, surely he can deal with this guy tied to the tree?
He was bullied before he became a bandit, and he's still bullied now that he's a bandit!
Then wasn't he just a bandit for nothing?
The bandit stood up and was about to kick Zhao Youtie in the vulnerable spot on his neck.
Little Pink Butterfly reacted quickly, swinging her axe directly at the bandit's leg.
All that could be heard was a scream.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—"
A sound that resounded through the heavens!
The magpies took flight in fright.
The five remaining bandits in the bandit's hut all looked over. When they saw that one of the bandits' legs had been forcibly chopped off for some reason, with blood splattering all over the ground, they were stunned on the spot.
"What's going on... Quick, get the knife! Get the knife! I knew it! There must be someone around here. Did they dare to try to take me away from the mountain? Today, I'm going to tear all your bones to pieces!" The bandit leader was the first to react and roared at his other henchmen.
"..." The underlings were terrified. They had chosen this open location precisely because they were afraid someone would come and wipe them all out.
Now, no one is visible; all that's seen is that the person who was just squatting with you has had one leg chopped off.
That's terrifying!
They weren't afraid at all when they killed others; all they wanted was to eat meat.
Now they're in the open, while the enemy is in the shadows... no, they don't even know who the enemy is.
He suddenly reverted to his timid and hesitant demeanor.
"Get me a knife! Get me a knife right now! You bunch of useless trash... Hurry up and search the surrounding area. No matter where people are hiding, we outnumber them, we can handle them!" The bandit leader kicked the bandit next to him in the butt.
Lin Wanyue, Niu Lao Er, and Old Master Zhao Hong heard the chattering noises from that side and assumed that Niu Lao Da had attracted the people away. They also thought that Xiao Fen Die and Lai Fu were there to clean up the mess and should be able to drive those people away.
They cautiously approached the location of the bandits' hideout.
When Zhao Hongyi saw his son hanging upside down and tied to a tree, with a large patch of blood on his body and on the ground, he couldn't hold back his tears.
He wiped away his tears and said to Lin Wanyue and Niu Lao Er, "Little Immortal, Niu Er, that's enough for you two. I, this old man, will handle the rest by myself!"
After saying that, he gripped the machete tightly and charged towards the group of bandits.
