Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 79 Hunting Time
Lu Fan left Song Xiucheng's residence, came to the dormitory area, and easily found Qin Yu's dormitory.

Number one in a row.

"Dong dong dong."

He knocked on the door.

"come in."

His voice was a little weak, and he seemed to be short of breath.

Lu Fan pushed open the door, only to see Qin Yu sitting on the bed, practicing kung fu to heal his injuries.

"feel better now?"

"Ah."

Qin Yu nodded slightly.

His face was still pale, and he looked weak, frowning tightly, as if he was suffering some kind of pain.

The arrogance is also much less.

But the stubbornness between the brows and eyes is not missing.

"sit down."

"it is good."

Lu Fan took a chair, sat down face to face with Qin Yu, and explained his purpose.

"I came to you to ask about horse thieves."

"Oh."

Qin Yu frowned even tighter, "Are you really going?"

"Of course I'm going."

Lu Fan made up his mind and never thought about changing it.

Qin Yu was silent.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Lu Fan, "I advise you not to go."

"why?"

Lu Fan was a little puzzled.

"You will die."

Qin Yu pointed to himself, "Look at my fate, and you will know. Besides, your situation will only be more difficult than mine."

"I'm not like you."

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "I may not be able to do what you can't do."

"Ok?"

Qin Yu froze for a moment, there was a trace of anger in his eyes, and even his pale face became a little more bloody.

Outrageous!

He was already dissatisfied with Lu Fan, but now he was aroused even more arrogantly.

"Okay, you go. Don't regret it then!"

"It won't bother you anymore."

Lu Fan could feel the other party's hostility, so naturally he didn't have a good attitude.

"Humph!"

Qin Yu snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"I have a few questions to confirm with you."

Lu Fan remembered the purpose of his visit this time, and asked, "How did you expose it?"

Qin Yu was angry and did not speak.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Lu Fan got up to leave.

"and many more."

Qin Yu glared at Lu Fan, "I'm not that stingy."

"And you said you were not stingy?"

Lu Fan stared back at him, "You lost to me last time, do you bear the grudge till now?"

Qin Yu was slightly embarrassed and speechless.

"Okay, let's talk about it."

Lu Fan accepted it as soon as he saw it, and sat down again.

"I'm too impatient."

Qin Yu sighed: "I didn't expect that it was a test given to me by a horse thief, but I fell into a trap."

"Oh."

Lu Fan knew in his heart that horse thieves would not easily trust an outsider, even if they broke into their interior, they would test you from time to time, and if you were a little careless, you would be exposed.

"Then, does the horse thief know your identity as the Dragon Shadow Guard?"

"they do not know."

Qin Yu said truthfully: "The other party thought I was someone sent by Caiyun City."

"How's the relationship between the masters?"

Lu Fan then asked.

"I've been there for a short time, and I haven't had much contact with the heads of the family, so I can't tell."

Qin Yu shook his head.

"Oh."

Lu Fan asked again: "How is their equipment? How is their usual food?"

"The equipment is average."

Qin Yu thought for a while and said, "Only a small number of people have bows and arrows, most of them use knives and guns, and a few people use swords. They don't have armor, but there are hundreds of horses."

“As for the food, it is also very ordinary”

"It can't be compared with our Dragon Shadow Guards at all, even if compared with the food in the previous barracks, it's not much better."

"Many people will sneak out and hunt wild game outside."

After a short pause, Qin Yu continued: "It is said that there are very few wild animals nearby, and they have all scared them away."

"it is good."

Lu Fan asked a few more questions, and Qin Yu was very cooperative and answered truthfully.

"Okay, take care of your wounds."

After asking, Lu Fan stood up and said goodbye, "I'm leaving."

Qin Yu didn't speak. He watched Lu Fan get up, and then watched him leave. When he was about to walk out the door, he suddenly shouted: "You must come back alive!"

"Will do."

Lu Fan turned around and met Qin Yu's eyes, feeling warmth and kindness.

And that unspeakable respect.

it is more than words.

This is comrade-in-arms.

There may be conflicts in normal times, but when facing foreign enemies, they become mutual reliance.

The kind of trust that can leave the back to the other party is also established in conflicts and conflicts.

……

……

Five days later.

October NO.30.

In the morning, Lu Fan woke up from his meditation and opened the property panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 16/400
Power: 80.35
Agility: 22.57
Mental Power: 25.73
Physical strength: 52.64
Cultivation: fifth grade

Kung Fu: Vientiane town magic power sixth level (1080/5000)

Martial arts: Liu Yushen's body skills are perfect, thousands of hammers and hundreds of exercises are perfect
Assignable Attribute Points: 39.61
Compared with when he was just promoted to the fifth rank, in more than a month, Lu Fan has already practiced a lot of exercises to perfection.

Strength increases by 4 points, physical strength increases by 8 points.

Other attributes also have their own growth.

Now his true strength is comparable to that of a third-rank mid-level martial artist.

Even if you meet a third-rank high-level warrior, it will be difficult to keep him.

There should be no such master among horse thieves, so no one can threaten him.

Lu Fan is more confident about this mission.

After breakfast, he didn't go to the martial arts arena, but came to Song Xiucheng's residence and knocked on the door.

"come in."

"Yes."

Lu Fan pushed the door open and entered, only to see Song Xiucheng standing at the door waiting for him with a note in his hand.

"In order not to arouse suspicion, you go to this place."

Song Xiucheng handed the note to Lu Fan, "There is what you want there, after you take the things, even if you go out of the city, I will erase all traces for you."

"Yes."

Lu Fan took the note and looked at it, and there was an address on it: No. 23, Hualuo Lane.

"This place is the secret stronghold of our Dragon Shadow Guard."

Song Xiucheng said: "The people who live inside are our own people. After you go, you only need to report your name."

"clear."

Lu Fan put away the note.

"This mission, apart from me and Lord Commander, only Qin Yu and Ye Wuchen know about it."

Song Xiucheng said: "It's still Ye Wuchen who will contact you. You just need to leave a mark in the way we agreed in advance, and Ye Wuchen will naturally find you."

"Yes."

Lu Fan responded loudly.

"Okay, let's go."

Song Xiucheng waved his hand, "I'll give you two months, no matter what the result is, you will come back as soon as the deadline is up."

"Yes, captain, don't worry, two months is enough."

Lu Fan calculated the time, and it will be Chinese New Year in two months.

He didn't want to stay outside for the new year, alone.

Leaving Song Xiucheng's residence, Lu Fan quietly left the barracks without even Su Mu telling.

This time he couldn't take Su Mu with him.

Just because this mission is too dangerous, no matter who he brings, he is not as good as himself.

As far as he is concerned, even in the face of thousands of troops, he is capable of getting away.

Now Lu Fan has this confidence.

After leaving the barracks, after walking not far, Lu Fan stopped.

Surrounded by wilderness, there is no human habitation or pedestrians.

He found a secret place, took out the civilian clothes he had prepared in advance, and changed into the general uniform.

Then he put away his general uniform and left with it.

Half an hour later, he found No. 23 Hualuo Lane, and knocked on the door after confirming that no one was following him.

The door opened, revealing a man in his 30s.

"I'm Lu Fan."

"come in."

The man stepped aside, let Lu Fan in, and then closed the door.

This is a residence with a small yard and only three bungalows.

The room as soon as you enter the door is very simple, with a dilapidated tea table and two chairs.

The spout of the teapot on the tea table was broken.

Several teacups were stained with tea.

"This is what you want."

The man didn't talk nonsense, and took out the things he had prepared in advance.

Exactly what Lu Fan mentioned before.

"it is good."

Lu Fan handed over the changed military uniform to the man, and said, "Let you go here first, and wait for me to come back to pick it up."

"Ah."

The man nodded and took it.

Lu Fan started to count things and finished counting soon.

He picked up the knife first and put it on his waist.

Flint put it in his arms.

The hunting bow is on the back, and the quiver is hung on the waist.

The water bladder hangs on the other side of the waist.

A few more changes of clothes, plus the hunter's clothing of animal hides, were placed in a separate package.

All kinds of food, as well as seasonings, are placed in another package.

Plus two small pots and a bag of rice.

There is also a nameplate.

Everything is ready.

"I have prepared a horse for you, just outside."

The man said: "It's an ordinary horse, not a military horse. You can just ride it all the time."

"Ah."

Lu Fan nodded.

He really needs a horse, otherwise there are too many things to carry.

Looking at the nameplate in his hand, his identity has changed again.

His name is Lu Shan, he is 20 years old, and he is from Fengyi County.

Lu Fan changed his appearance slightly, making him look more mature.

The essence is restrained, and the whole person becomes ordinary.

Looking in the mirror, he was extremely satisfied.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

The two left the house with their things and came to the yard.

A black horse is tied there.

Hanging the pot, bow and arrow, and the package on the horse's back, Lu Fan led the horse and walked out.

The man opened the door early.

After going out, Lu Fan got on his horse and waved goodbye to the man.

"drive!"

The whip fell, and the black horse galloped away, quickly disappearing from the man's sight.

……

……

three days later.

November [-]rd.

Near noon, Lu Fan entered Caiyun City.

He rode a horse and walked down the street, and what he saw was prosperity.

Compared with Zhennan Pass, Caiyun City is much larger and more lively.

Especially at noon, when the meal is approaching, there are a lot of people.

After making some inquiries, Lu Fan found a restaurant.

For three days in a row, he ate in the wild.

If he wants to have a good meal today, he will treat himself as a reward.

After passing through Caiyun City, he was about to enter the mountain, and it would be difficult to find a restaurant.

"Shut up!"

Lu Fan stopped in front of the restaurant, looked up, and saw three large characters written on the door plaque: Bicuiyuan.

This is it.

He dismounted and led the horse into the backyard of the restaurant.

"Guest officer, give it to me."

Xiao Er came up to meet him and took the reins of the horse.

"Show me something."

Lu Fan pointed to the package on the horse's back.

"Don't worry."

Xiao Er led the horse to the stable.

Lu Fan entered the restaurant lobby through the back door.

At this time, there were not many guests in the lobby, only four or five tables of individual guests.

"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?"

The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

"First a pot of wine, then a plate of sauced beef, air-dried chicken, eight-treasure duck, candied fish, stir-fried kidneys, and grilled lamb chops."

Lu Fan nodded to the shopkeeper, "Okay, that's all."

"Okay, please sit down."

The shopkeeper greeted Lu Fan to sit down and left with a smile.

Soon Xiao Er brought a jug of wine and chopped beef.

Lu Fan ate and drank.

The dishes are gradually being served, and there are more and more guests.

"Mr. Mo, you are here."

The shopkeeper's courteous voice sounded, "Please come inside!"

Ok?
Mr. Mo?
Lu Fan thought of Mo Zhu, looked up and saw Mo Zhu leading four or five people in.

They are all rich men.

As if sensing his gaze, Mo Zhu suddenly turned his head, just in time to meet Lu Fan's gaze, and was stunned for a moment.

Lu Fan quickly lowered his head.

Mo Zhu sized Lu Fan up for a long time with doubts in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Brother Mo?"

The young man behind him asked.

"Oh."

Only then did Mo Zhu come back to his senses, and shook his head lightly, "I mistook the person, I thought it was a friend of mine."

"A friend who can make Brother Mo never forget must be extraordinary."

The young master also looked at Lu Fan a few times, but found nothing unusual.

"That's natural."

Mo Zhu's eyes became brighter, "That friend of mine is not just ordinary? He's simply amazing! Even though he's younger than me, he's much stronger than me. He's also courageous and has an extraordinary bearing. He's the person I admire the most."

"Really? There are such people in the world?"

The young master was very surprised, "I don't know who the friend Brother Mo is talking about? Have I ever heard of it?"

"His name is Lu Xuan."

Mo Zhu didn't know what to think of, and sighed lightly.

"Lu Xuan?"

The young man frowned and said it several times, but he didn't remember it at all.

He had never heard the name.

"Oh, no."

Mo Zhu's voice faded away, "His name should be Lu Fan."

Hearing this, Lu Fan smiled wryly in his heart, and sure enough, he let Mo Zhu know his true identity.

But it's normal to think about it. With Mo Zhu's relationship in the Zhennan Army, he will naturally know the end of the Jinsha Gang sub-helm.

Correspondingly, he also knew Lu Fan's identity and mission.

Lu Fan also inquired about Mo Zhu, and it turned out that he was the nephew of Gu Changting, the commander of the Qianji Camp.

In other words, Gu Changting is Mo Zhu's uncle.

No wonder Lu Jun was so polite to Mo Zhu, and so was Meng Tao.

It was all for Gu Changting's sake.

After eating and drinking enough, Lu Fan opened the attribute panel and saw that the attribute points increased by 0.4.

not bad.

Satisfied, Lu Fan got up to pay the bill.

"Is the guest ready to eat?"

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, "Do you know Mr. Mo?"

"Which Mr. Mo?"

Lu Fan deliberately pretended to be confused.

"It's that Mr. Mo who went upstairs just now."

The shopkeeper whispered: "He is the son of the city lord."

"Oh."

Lu Fan pretended to be surprised, "So powerful?"

In fact, he already knew the identity of Mo Zhu.

"Yes."

The shopkeeper lowered his voice again, "In Caiyun City, the city lord is the sky. If you are lucky enough to get to know Mr. Mo, you can walk sideways in the city from now on."

"Unfortunately, I don't know him."

Lu Fan took out a silver coin and threw it on the counter, "Check out."

"Oh."

The shopkeeper was a little disappointed, but still respectful. He found some money for Lu Fan and said with a smile, "Guest officer, go slowly."

"Ah."

Lu Fan took the money, put it in his arms, and left through the back door.

……

……

three days later.

noon.

Lu Fan found the small mountain village in his memory.

Guyuan Village.

It is the place where he lived since he was a child.

Even though we were poor and couldn't get enough to eat, the family didn't feel too much hardship when we were together.

Looking back now, there are a lot of laughter and warmth, which are worth aftertaste.

Especially the days of playing with friends of the same age are even more fun.

Go up the mountain together to catch pheasants and rabbits.

Go down the river to touch fish, go up the tree to pick fruit.

Go to the melon fields to steal melons, and go to the mountains to gather herbs.

Dig wild vegetables, feed chickens, and feed geese.

All kinds of things, thinking about it now, are so beautiful.

But in that year, because of the arrival of the horse thief, it came to an abrupt end.

There's nothing left.

The home is gone, the people are gone, and even the village has become extremely desolate.

Lu Fan rode a horse and entered the village.

The crisp sound of horseshoes was especially loud in the silence.

There was no one on the street, it was deserted.

The houses along the street were dilapidated, and there was no smoke rising from the cooking fire.

After walking for a while, Lu Fan only felt that he was in a panic.

From the village to the village.

He finally saw a person.

It was an old man sitting in front of his house basking in the sun.

With his head down and his eyes squinted, he didn't even notice Lu Fan passing by.

There was an old woman not far away, with her mouth open, her eyes empty, and her face dull. When she saw Lu Fan, she pretended not to see it.

"The horse thief is coming, run!"

A piercing scream sounded.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Fan caught a glimpse of a woman pointing at him with a frightened expression.

Tried to run, but seemed intimidated.

His legs were trembling, and he couldn't take a step.

"Ugh!"

Lu Fan sighed softly, feeling even heavier.

Since the bandits a few years ago, people in the village have died and fled, and now only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are left in the village.

Living without hope, barely getting by.

Relying on his memory, Lu Fan found his home.

He got off his horse, tied the horse to a tree outside the yard, pushed open the gate, and entered the yard.

The yard is full of weeds.

Even the path paved with stone slabs was covered by weeds.

Pushing open the door of the back room, all you see is dust.

Lu Fan entered the house, looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, those dusty memories were suddenly opened, allowing him to go back to a few years ago.

The leading horse thief swung his knife and fell, blood splattered everywhere.

He will always remember that face.

why?
Until now, Lu Fan couldn't figure out why those horse thieves would kill so much?
In the past, horse thieves often visited the village.

It's all about grabbing something, and rarely hurting people.

He didn't even kill anyone.

But that time, the horse thief was extraordinarily cruel.

Most of the villagers were killed or injured.

He was the only one left in Lu Fan's family.

Why is it?
Ugh!
After staying for a long time, Lu Fan turned and left.

He led the horse to the back mountain and found the grave of his parents. He took out the small plates prepared in advance and put them on the table.

Burned paper money, added soil, took out a jug of wine, and sprinkled it on the grave.

Lu Fan stood in front of the grave, silent for a long time.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he must find the horse thief's lair, kill all the horse thieves, and avenge his family.

No one will be spared, they will all die!
……

……

Three more days passed.

November nine.

in the afternoon.

Lu Fan entered the mountains.

Before entering the mountain, he added a layer of animal skins on the outside of his clothes, carried a hunting bow on his back, and hung a quiver at his waist.

Just look at the dress, you are a hunter.

After climbing over several hills, Lu Fan entered a valley, and heard the sound of running water from a distance.

According to the season, it should be autumn at this time.

However, Fengyi County is located in the south, and the four seasons are like spring. The valley is not only not cold, but rather hot.

There are green grass and green trees everywhere.

Small flowers of various colors are dotted among the green grass, fragrant and pleasant.

A stream flows out of the valley.

The water in the stream is clear and the rocks at the bottom are clearly visible.

Lu Fan led the horse, along the stream, into the depths of the valley, and easily found the source of the stream.

It was a mountain spring.

That's it.

Lu Fan decided to stay here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning.

Walking in the mountains, the most important thing is to find a clean water source.

After all, eating is a top priority.

He tied the horse under a tree by the stream and let the horse drink water and graze on its own.

Then he came to the spring, found a big rock, sat cross-legged on it, took down the bow and arrow and put it at hand, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Even though he was on his way all the time, his cultivation didn't drop much.

Whenever he has free time, he will devote himself to cultivation.

Now he doesn't need to practice anything else, he just needs to meditate and practice the Vientiane Suppressing Demon Art.

"call!"

The aura in the mountains seems to be more abundant.

While Lu Fan was breathing, spiritual energy kept pouring into his body.

Make him feel good.

After a long time, Lu Fan opened his eyes and felt the changes in his dantian.

Entry was much faster than usual.

It's no wonder that many experts choose to go to the mountains to practice, it's really different.

Lu Fan's senses are extremely sharp now, and he can't hide the small changes in his body from him.

continue!

Just as he was about to close his eyes and practice again, he suddenly heard a horse cry.

Then there was the sound of flapping wings.

Have prey?
Lu Fan looked up, just in time to see a pheasant falling from the sky.

We have dinner.

Finally able to eat game.

Lu Fan picked up the bow and arrow casually, and with a bang, the arrow had already left the string.

"puff!"

The pheasant was shot through by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Lu Fan got up, picked up the pheasant, took it to the stream, and cleaned it up with a knife.

After cutting it, put it in the pot.

After chopping some firewood, lighting the fire, adding water to the pot, he stewed the chicken first.

In another pot, cook the rice.

Lu Fan found some wild mushrooms, put them in the pot, and stewed together.

He has learned various survival skills and can easily identify poisonous mushrooms.

There are also all kinds of edible wild vegetables and a wide variety of herbs, all of which he recognizes.

Therefore, in this deep mountain, he is like a fish in water, and it is easy for him to adapt.

Not much work.

Lu Fan sprinkled the seasoning on it.

The heat began to rise, and the smell of meat wafted away.

Very tempting.

"smell good!"

"Go, have a look."

Voices came from outside the valley.

Lu Fan frowned, a little displeased.

He hates being interrupted while eating.

Especially eating delicious food.

Footsteps sounded, getting closer.

Lu Fan was facing the outside of the valley, he didn't need to look up, he could catch a glimpse from the corner of his eye, two men entered the valley, sneaking around, poking around.

After seeing him alone, the two people appeared and strode forward.

Both of them are in their 30s, one tall and the other short. They wear animal skins outside their clothes, carry bows and arrows on their backs, and walk with a whistling sound.

They are very similar to Lu Fan's attire, they should be two hunters.

"Little brother, the food is good."

The two glanced at Lu Fan a few times, smelling the smell of meat, and felt even more hungry.

"Ah."

Lu Fan nodded and said nothing.

Sensing his attitude, the two looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Let's have something to eat, too."

"Okay."

The two took out the kettle, filled it with water, found a big rock by the spring and sat down, took out dry food, and gnawed.

Every few bites, and then a sip of cold water, quickly propped up the stomach.

On the other side, Lu Fan turned off the fire.

When the meal is ready, so are the dishes.

He took out his spoon and ate the rice directly from the pot.

Pour some chicken soup on the rice, mix it with a spoon, and then add the chicken. Lu Fan ate it with a very enjoyment expression.

very delicious.

The fresh aroma of pheasant meat, coupled with the fresh aroma of wild mushrooms, is a perfect match.

The taste is also excellent.

The two of them looked at the dry food in their hands and suddenly found it hard to swallow.

"Little brother, are you alone?"

The short man couldn't hold back and spoke up.

"Ah."

Lu Fan nodded again.

"Seeing how young you are, you probably don't have much hunting experience, do you?"

The short man did not give up, and continued to talk, "Why don't we get together, how about we go together?"

"Yes."

The tall man answered, "It's good to have a support for each other. Even if we encounter horse thieves, we can have more strength."

"Horse thief?"

Lu Fan's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes."

The short man said: "There are many horse thieves in the mountains. If you are unlucky and encounter us, they will be scruples when they see that there are so many of us. They will only let us keep our things. We should be able to save our lives."

"It's hard to say if you're alone."

The tall man went on to say: "They will not only make money, but also kill them."

"Yes."

The short man interjected: "A person's power is limited after all. They can't cause too much damage to the horse thief. They will have no scruples and can deal with you unscrupulously. Even if you resist desperately, it may not hurt them."

"The three of us are different."

"After all, there is strength in numbers."

"Be ruthless, you can kill one or two of them no matter what."

"So, it's always safer."

The two talked to each other, trying to persuade Lu Fan.

"is it?"

Lu Fan took the opportunity to ask, "Have you ever met a horse thief?"

"Encountered."

The short man said: "And I met more than once."

Speaking of this, he sighed, "Oh, I almost lost my life once."

"Since it's so dangerous, why do you still come out to hunt?"

Lu Fan was a little puzzled, "Wouldn't it be better to change your job?"

"No way, we can only hunt, nothing else."

The tall man sighed: "What's more, although hunting is dangerous, after a long time, you can figure out the nature of those horse thieves. As long as there are no major mistakes, you can generally deal with it."

"Yes."

The short man answered, "Hunting is secondary. The key is to collect medicinal materials. If you can collect valuable medicinal materials and bring them out of the mountain, they will be quite valuable. They are better than ordinary livelihoods. Don't you come here for this?"

"Ah."

Lu Fan understood a little bit, "Horse thieves often come out, and they come for expensive medicinal materials, right?"

"These beasts!"

Mentioning this, the two of them were a little angry and cursed.

"The medicinal materials we worked so hard to find were easily taken away by them, and they even humiliated us before leaving."

"If you resist a little, you will be punched."

"Even using a knife directly will kill you."

"Simply not human."

The more they talked, the more angry they became, their faces flushed red.

"It's true that pigs and dogs are worse."

Lu Fan also became angry when he heard this, and asked, "How many horse thieves usually come out?"

"uncertain."

The tall man said: "Sometimes there are three or five people, sometimes seven or eight people, and sometimes a dozen or so people."

"It depends on luck."

"When there are few of them, they are usually fine, at most they will grab your things."

"If there are many of them, then ask for good luck."

The man sighed: "Maybe you will die."

"Oh."

After Lu Fan finished listening, he also finished eating.

He opened the attribute panel and saw that the attribute point increased by 0.2.

Okay.

Although the pheasant is relatively large and fat, there is only one chicken after all.

It would be nice to add these.

Lu Fan got up, took the pot, went to the spring to wash the pot, and washed his hands.

The two men followed behind him and asked, "How is it? Come with us?"

"Forget it, I'm fine by myself."

Lu Fan wasn't very interested.

"It seems that you are here for the first time, you have never experienced it, and you cannot experience that kind of fear and despair."

The short man persuaded: "When you suffer, it will be too late."

"Yes."

The tall man also persuaded, "Don't worry, we won't harm you."

"Why did you take me with you?"

Lu Fan asked the doubts in his heart, "Are you just afraid that I will die?"

"There are reasons for that."

The short man scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "The main reason is that we want to have a hot meal. You bring the pot and you know how to cook. With you here, we will definitely have nothing to worry about."

"Oh."

Lu Fan understood, he could feel that feeling.

No one can stand eating dry food every day.

"You can hunt some prey and eat barbecue."

"There are few prey around here, so it's not so easy to encounter."

The tall man sighed.

"is it?"

Lu Fan's heart moved, and he asked, "Is there a mountain with horse thieves nearby?"

"what?"

The expressions of the two men changed, they looked at each other a few times, and shook their heads.

"I really do not know."

"Horse thieves are haunted, who knows where they live?"

at this time.

There were bursts of chaotic sounds from outside the valley.

Listening to the sound, it seems that many people are entering the valley.

Lu Fan frowned, could it be a horse thief?

The two didn't hear it at first, but as the sound got closer and louder, their expressions changed drastically.

"Walk."

The short man was the first to react, turned around and left.

But after a few steps, he stopped.

This is already the deepest part of the valley, and there is a steep mountain wall in front of it, and there is no way to go.

He had no choice but to turn around and look in the direction of the valley entrance.

The tall man didn't move. He knew that he couldn't run, so he reminded him in a low voice.

"Little brother, don't resist for a while, give them whatever they want, you know?"

"Oh."

Lu Fan was also looking at the entrance of the valley, and he could clearly see more than a dozen people slowly approaching.

He counted carefully, and there were twelve people in total.

All are men.

These people were all dressed in gray clothes, even the sabers on their bodies were the same.

Obviously, it is to distinguish them from ordinary people, so that they will not fight among themselves when they meet their own people.

There are so many horse thief teams, maybe they are all distinguished in this way.

"Sure enough, there are people inside."

"I didn't run away, I should know the rules."

"Unfortunately, there are no girls."

"hey-hey!"

A group of people chatted and laughed, and approached the three of Lu Fan.

Everyone looked playful, as if they had encountered a fun prey, and they had to tease them well before making a move.

The two men greeted them with smiles and cupped their hands, "Masters, you are here."

"Ah."

The leading horse thief nodded in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand, "Bring it."

"Yes."

The two groped their bodies, took out a few herbs, and handed them out.

"That's it?"

The leading horse thief took the herb and passed it to the person behind him, with a gloomy face, he shouted, "Are you hiding something?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The two quickly waved their hands, "How dare we lie?"

"Search for me!"

The leading horse thief gestured to his subordinates.

"Yes."

A few horse thieves agreed, surrounded the two men and searched them.

But got nothing.

"Head, no."

"never mind."

The leading horse thief walked towards Lu Fan and asked, "Where's yours?"

Lu Fan ignored him, but took a few steps forward.

He didn't want to get too close to the spring and let the horse thief's dirty blood pollute the spring water.

"Ok?"

The leading horse thief was surprised and angry at the same time.

I don't know what to do!
Just looking for death.

"Take him!"

"Yes."

A few horse thieves have been gearing up for a long time, with a smile on their faces.

They hope to meet such a person.

That's fun.

It would be boring if they were all obedient people.

"It looks like a chick?"

"First time entering the mountains?"

"Did no one teach you?"

"Then let Grandpa teach you."

"When you see us in the future, you should obediently call me Lord, you know?"

With smirks on their faces, the horse thieves slowly surrounded Lu Fan.

The faces of the two hunters turned pale, and they sighed in their hearts, it's over.

Why didn't this young man listen to advice?
Can't you be honest and admit that you are cowardly?

I just want to be brave.

Now it's all right, not to mention that I will suffer, and it may even implicate them both.

How to do?
The two looked at each other, and both saw the fear in the other's eyes.

I'm afraid I can't do well today.

Lu Fan stopped and stood there quietly, as if frightened, causing the horse thieves to burst into laughter.

"Look at how cowardly he is!"

"Ha ha!"

"You guys should act softly later, but don't let him die."

"Yes, we want to play with him too."

The horse thieves talked and laughed unscrupulously, not at all wary.

Just because they are so smooth, they rarely meet people who dare to resist.

Even if they encounter it, it will not pose a threat to them.

As a result, their courage is getting bigger and bigger, and the evil in their bodies is also a little bit magnified.

There is no possibility of going back.

"Come here for me."

The horse thief walking in the front came to Lu Fan and held out his hand.

"Shh!"

The light of the knife suddenly lit up and flashed in front of the horse thief.

"what!"

A hoarse scream sounded.

The horse thief at the front fell down clutching his throat.

Only then did blood splatter out.

Without giving the others time to react, Lu Fan continued to move forward with the knife in his hand.

"puff!"

He pierced a person's heart with a knife, and suddenly drew the knife, and blood gushed out.

Then he slashed twice, killing two consecutive horse thieves.

In the blink of an eye, four people died.

The rest of the people looked dumbfounded. Before they had time to react, Lu Fan rushed towards them with a knife in hand.

Only then did they come to their senses, and drew out their waist knives one after another, and slashed at Lu Fan.

However, Lu Fan approached them like a ghost, stabbed one at a time, and killed four people in a row.

"what!"

The remaining three horse thieves turned around and ran away, shouting wildly.

But the fear in my heart has not diminished at all.

On the contrary, it is even worse.

terrible!

It's not that they haven't killed people before, but if they switch positions and they are the ones killed, it will only be more embarrassing.

The leading horse thief also wanted to run, but was blocked by Lu Fan.

His heart was trembling at the moment.

The strength shown by Lu Fan really frightened him.

He knew that he was not an opponent, and he was far behind.

If the opponent wants to kill him, he will have no power to fight back.

"Good man spare your life!"

He thumped and fell to his knees.

"what?"

The two hunters came back to their senses and exclaimed.

Trembling all over.

frightened.

The two were even more afraid than those horse thieves.

Just because the two of them said something they shouldn't have said in front of Lu Fan, thinking about it now, they both feel scared.

Thankfully it wasn't too much.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the two of them will not be able to survive.

This young man is horrible.

Without blinking an eye, he even killed eight horse thieves.

The first shot is a killer move, leaving no room for it.

Ruthless.

No wonder they are not afraid of horse thieves.

Compared with the horse thief, this young man seems to be more ruthless.

Just as the two were thinking, the knife in Lu Fan's hand swung down again.

"puff!"

With a muffled sound, the leading horse thief was pierced with a knife, and he was killed before he could even scream.

Lu Fan is not a soft-hearted person.

Beg for mercy?

Useless!

There are three horse thieves left.

Let's keep one for now, and see if we can lead him to the horse thief's lair.

The rest must die!

Lu Fan had made up his mind a long time ago, and he just took this opportunity to find the horse thief's lair.

Then one must be left alive.

but……

Sooner or later there is no escape from death.

snort!
Thinking of this, Lu Fan picked up his bow and arrow and chased them out of the valley.

"How to do?"

The two hunters looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

"Run away."

The short man came back to his senses first.

"Our things?"

The tall man pointed to the corpse on the ground.

"It's good to save your life, what else do you want?"

The short man tugged at the other party, "Go, hurry up, wait for him to come back later, even if we want to go, we can't go."

"exactly."

The tall man came to his senses and nodded again and again, "He is so ruthless, what if he uses a knife against us?"

"Run, I'm afraid he will kill someone and silence him."

"That's right, after all we caught him killing someone."

"If he doesn't want us to speak out, he will definitely find a way to shut us up."

"The best way is to silence."

The more they thought about it, the more afraid they became. They didn't care about anything, and ran out of the valley as fast as they could.

I never want to see that young man again in this life.

It's even more terrifying than a horse thief.

Lu Fan chased out of the valley, and the remaining three horse thieves fled in three different directions.

In delusion to escape Lu Fan's pursuit.

"Whoa!"

A powerful piercing sound sounded.

Lu Fan shot two arrows in a row, in different directions, and went straight to the two horse thieves not far away.

When the two horse thieves heard the sound, they kept changing directions, trying to dodge the arrows, but they were horrified to find that they couldn't dodge.

It's like being locked, like a shadow.

The two were even more frightened, and had no choice but to turn around and swing their knives.

"clang!"

There was a crisp sound, and a strong attack struck, the jaws of the two shook, and the knives in their hands came out.

"puff!"

The sharp arrow hit the heart of the two of them, penetrating through their bodies.

The two swayed a few times and fell down unwillingly.
