Chapter 190 Burning incense to the moon
There are two mountains to the west of Comet City, one is Big Star Mountain and the other is Small Star Mountain.
There were two gangs of bandits entrenched on the mountain, occupying a strategic position where one man could hold off ten thousand.
Among them, Daxingshan is more powerful, has more people, and has more complete weapons and equipment. It is led by a bearded leader.
The bandit stronghold was built in a remote place surrounded by water on three sides. There were guards and sentries everywhere, and the security was very strict.
At this moment, four little bandits were eating hot pot in an open space. While eating, they would occasionally look towards the small island in the water not far away.
It is called an island, but it is just a small open space the size of a palm in a shallow bay. On it stands a large iron cage used to hold wild animals, and a dark figure sits quietly inside.
Around the open space, dozens of crocodiles floated on the water, looking at the cage with fear.
The hot pot here was boiling, bubbling and emitting steam, which attracted everyone's attention.
The young man, who still had a bandage on the back of his head and a hematoma, picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks, took two bites, and gasped for air due to the heat, mumbling incoherently:
"How about I bring some food to Cloud Tiger? He should be tired by now, so he won't do anything more, right?"
The other bandit's eyes widened. "I think you've been stabbed in the back of your head by a crab claw. Have you forgotten who destroyed your only two heirloom iron nets? Now there's only one left, and you're still messing around? This 'cloud tiger' is even harder to catch than a real tiger!"
Another bandit took over and said:
"Yeah! This guy was here for a total of six days. He caused chaos throughout the village! On the first day, he was locked in the cellar. He took a piece of broken bowl and in just half a night, he almost dug his way through the cellar to the boss's bedroom!"
"The next day, two brothers came up to him and shackled him. Before they could even get close, they were beaten so hard they cried out for help. It took ten of them to finally catch him! If he had a knife in his hand, all ten of them would have gone to hell!"
"He even uses chicken bones to open his leg irons! Isn't that terrifying?! He uses the tiny bones from a chicken's claw! Once he opens the leg irons, he wields chains and padlocks through the air. He's a hundred times more terrifying than a crab claw! He took down eighty-eight men in an hour! It took the last archer to subdue him! An archer!!"
"That's right! I was right there, I was petrified! I've never seen anyone so skilled at fighting and so fearless! He's like a chariot of perpetual fire! Even though he usually sits quietly, when he starts fighting, every move is deadly!"
"Who says he isn't?! He dug a hole when we put him in the cellar! He dived when we put him in the water dungeon! He set fire to the cave! He's really a troublemaker! We had to use smokescreen to knock him down before we put him in the island cage!"
"You know how exaggerated it was? After that guy was knocked down by the smoke, there was a large crowd of people watching, but no one dared to touch him! In the end, the boss had to carry him to the cage himself!"
"Who gave him the nickname 'Cloud Tiger'? It's so damn appropriate!"
The boy touched the back of his head, which was still aching, and looked towards the Mizushima iron cage with lingering fear. His face immediately changed, and he threw down his chopsticks and rushed over, shouting:
"Oh my god! He's hitting the crocodile on the head! Pulling out the crocodile's teeth!"
"Oh my god! Stop him now!!"
"Is he going to pull out the crocodile's fangs and use them as weapons? It's going to kill me!!"
After another round of struggle, it took seven or eight people to hold down Yun Chen from the iron cage and rescue the crocodile that had several teeth pulled out and was almost crying in pain.
The young man was so tired that he held the cage and panted. He gave Yun Chen a thumbs up and said admiringly:
"Brother, I really admire you. Really, if I have the chance in the future, I want to follow you! Hehe!"
Yun Chen didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on the boy's hand holding the iron cage.
The young man noticed Yun Chen's eyes and suddenly felt a chill on his back. He immediately let go and stepped back, but he was still a step too slow. Yun Chen grabbed him and slammed his whole body against the cage, causing him to scream in fear.
"Ah ...
The people nearby rushed over upon hearing the noise and took a lot of effort to rescue the boy.
The boy was so frightened that he was out of his mind. His face, body, and arms were covered with bruises from the iron cage. He backed away in fear, shouting, "Cloud Tiger is so scary!" "Cloud Tiger is so scary!"
Yun Chen ignored him and just sat back on the edge of the cage, hugged his arms, and closed his eyes to take a nap.
It was not until the boy and a few small bandits walked away that Yun Chen quietly opened his palm, took out the flint he had stolen from the boy, and took out the big red incense paper with talismans drawn on it from his arms.
She gently struck the flint, lit the red paper, curled up to protect the flame, and a wisp of red smoke rose.
Looking at the full and bright full moon in the sky, Yun Chen took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Boundless blessings, ranking among the immortals, immortality, and eternal youth!"
The young man who heard the noise looked over and saw the red smoke dissipate. Yun Chen looked at the moon and repeated:
"May you have boundless blessings, be among the immortals, live forever, and stay young forever"!
The boy scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself:
"What is Yun Lao Hu doing? Is he going crazy? No, that would be such a pity..."
Not long after, a blood-red carrier pigeon flapped its wings, flew past the boy, and landed in the cage on Mizushima.
The blood pigeon looked at Yun Chen, then looked around, but didn't see any gold. It tilted its head to look at Yun Chen, as if asking, "What do you mean? Are you playing with pigeons?"
Since being kidnapped, Yun Chen has tried everything he can to escape, but he just can't.
Fortunately, when she was kidnapped, she still had the red paper given to her by the blood guards at the dock on her body, so she could only use this method to summon help.
She clasped her hands together and whispered to the blood pigeon:
"Master Pigeon, please find some Blood Guards to rescue me! Although I don't have any money right now, and my Huo Gang badge, which I use to pay for it, has been stolen, my young master is very generous and will definitely be willing to spend money to rescue me! You go find the Blood Guards first, and we'll settle the bill after we get out, okay?"
The blood pigeon seemed to really understand. It nodded to Yunchen, flapped its wings and flew away, quickly disappearing into the night.
She looked at the blood pigeon's tiny figure disappearing into the night, and a little hope rose in her heart.
But she has never been one to rely on others for her life.
She sat down against the cage again, cleaned and arranged the teeth she had just pulled out of the crocodile's mouth one by one, and pieced them together into the shape of a one-fingered tiger.
She reached her hand out of the cage, groped for a handful of clay on the ground, and filled the gaps between her teeth.
Then she took off her coat, tore it into strips, and lit the ends with a flint, which slowly began to burn.
Facing the flame, she began to patiently bake the brass knuckles covered with clay.
By the time all the strips of cloth were burned, the brass knuckles were almost done.
The bone of the teeth is firmly fused with the cement. Although it is a bit brittle, it is enough to kill someone.
Yun Chen put the brass knuckles on his fingers, clenched them into fists, like a tiger's claws, and waved them in the air twice to feel the feel.
On the opposite shore, the young man who had watched everything widened his eyes in horror, touched the hematoma on the back of his head, and couldn't help but gasp.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if he got hit on the back of his head like that.
A small crab claw almost sent him to see his grandmother. If it was this crocodile-toothed tiger...
The young man couldn't help but shudder and didn't dare to think any further, but he saw Yun Chen in the cage sitting down again and began to grind the tips of his brass knuckles against the railings.
The young man turned his back tremblingly, his face pale, and his voice was filled with tears:
"Oh my god... He's too fierce... I'm so scared I can't bear to look at him anymore. Someone please take care of him. I can't stand it anymore..."
