Chapter 38
The night is gradually getting darker, the moonlight is sparse in the sky, and there are not many stars visible. Dark clouds are slowly gathering towards the crescent moon, slowly taking away the only light.
In the dark night, Li Fei led a team of nearly 600 people walking in the mountains and forests, and Black Mountain was not far ahead.
Before arriving at Heishan, several people from the Second Yunyan Team came to pick him up. Under their guidance, Li Fei discovered the den of thieves in Heishan Village, which was built halfway up the mountain.
The road up the mountain is a narrow path, which is rugged and difficult to navigate. There are bandits from the Black Village on patrol along the way.
Li Fei was very patient and did not order to go up the mountain immediately, but planned to wait until the next watch before taking action.
During that time period, people are most likely to get sleepy and their minds are most relaxed, so it is the most suitable time to conduct a surprise attack.
Wu Song looked in the direction of the stronghold and asked, "Brother Li, when will we attack?"
Li Fei said softly: "Don't be anxious, the most important thing a good hunter should have is patience."
The black bear muttered: "Master, let's attack. It's just a small black village. With my master and I here, we can definitely capture its gate."
Li Fei shook his head and said: "We can cheat. Do you think the people in Black Village are fools? If they set up an ambush in the village, if we rush up there, we will only fall into their trap. Now we can only wait."
Wu Song said: "Brother Li is right, I'd better wait patiently."
Seeing that neither of them agreed to attack now, Black Bear could only temporarily suppress the fighting spirit in his heart, squatting on the ground and counting the goats one by one.
They waited for more than an hour. Li Fei estimated that the time was almost up and decided to attack.
He asked the three men and four men with good eyesight to explore the road ahead. If they found patrolling enemies, they would shoot them directly. The others would follow behind. If the incident was revealed, they would launch a strong attack.
Li Fei followed Sanyan and walked up the mountain along the trail. After a while, he found a group of four bandits patrolling.
"There are four people in total. Choose your own goals."
Li Fei ordered, and at the same time, he secretly recited the spell of [Dark Element Blade], in order to prevent him from performing a last-ditch attack in case someone missed.
Without hesitation, Sanyan raised his divine arm crossbow, pointed it at a bandit, and fired an arrow.
The sound made by the divine arm crossbow is very small. If you don't listen carefully, you would think it is the sound of the wind blowing.
Immediately afterwards, there were four short sounds of crossbow arrows being fired.
The hit rate of the three eyes was very high. Only one arrow hit the target between the eyebrows. The others also did not miss, and they all hit the target.
At this time, the bandit hiding behind a tree noticed that something was wrong. He jumped out and was about to shout a warning.
The dark element blade passed straight through his neck, and his head suddenly fell sideways from his body.
Li Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had made preparations, otherwise he might really have failed.
Three Eyes praised: "The master's eyesight is much better than that of his subordinates, and he can detect enemies hidden in secret."
Li Fei said modestly: "It's just luck."
In fact, this is the effect of his practicing Tianxiang Fist, which is a set of health-preserving boxing techniques used to develop the potential of the human body. Perhaps because he is a magician, Tianxiang Fist makes his eyesight sharper.
Physical fitness has not improved much.
When he reaches the level of an intermediate magician, he can use [Psychic Power Detection], which can replace the use of eyes.
Moreover, mental power detection is much more precise than using eyes, and very subtle existences can be sensed in areas covered by mental power.
The group of people continued walking up the mountain and successfully dealt with several waves of patrolling bandits and hidden sentries in the dark. They were only a few dozen meters away from the gate of Black Village.
Li Fei asked: "Who dares to go over and open the gate of the cottage?"
This is a very dangerous thing. No one knows whether there is anyone guarding the door. If there is, the person who goes in and opens the door may lose his life.
Black Bear walked over, looked at the gate of the cottage excitedly, and said, "Master, let me go."
"Disciple, let me do it. I joined Bailong Village and haven't made any achievements yet. This is the time for me to make some achievements."
Wu Song stood up and said confidently.
It is not difficult to open the door with his martial arts, and he is also the most confident of all.
"Well, remember to be careful. If you don't succeed, quit immediately. Don't show off."
Li Fei ordered that he actually did not want Wu Song to put himself in danger. If he stopped him, he might arouse the other party's resentment.
Wu Song nodded and quickly rushed towards the gate of the village.
The gate was more than two meters high, but it was not a problem for him. He jumped lightly, reached out to grab a corner of the gate, and stepped on the gate with a single lift.
This process made almost no sound. He lowered his head and looked down. There were seven bandits guarding the gate sitting on the ground sleeping, leaning on each other, snoring heavily from time to time.
Wu Song immediately jumped down from above, opened the door bolt calmly, and then pushed the door open with force.
Soon, the door opened a gap, and something happened suddenly.
A bandit suddenly opened his eyes wide and saw the stranger opening the door. He was frightened and opened his mouth to scream.
"Someone come quickly..."
Wu Song immediately turned around and rushed towards the bandit, quickly slashed out with the steel knife in his hand, and easily chopped off his head.
His shouting woke up the other six people, who hurriedly grabbed their weapons.
Outside the gate, Li Fei saw a gap opened in the gate, so he waved his hand and said, "Follow me and fight in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Black Bear, who had been impatient for a long time, rushed out first, opened the gate of the cottage, and rushed inside, just in time to see Wu Song pull out the steel knife from the chest of a bandit.
"Master is really powerful. He killed seven people so quickly."
Wu Song didn't take the black bear's compliment seriously and shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the enemy was also alerted."
The black bear laughed and said: "What are you afraid of? If one comes, I will kill him."
At this time, other people also rushed in. Black Bear raised the steel knife in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, follow me to kill."
Under the leadership of him and Wu Song, except for the archery team, everyone else followed them to kill inside the stronghold.
Amidst the shouting, the bandits in Black Village were awakened one after another. They picked up the guy and rushed out of the room. Naturally, they were killed directly.
Li Fei and his archery team stood guard at the gate, waiting for the bandits who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape.
After a while, a dozen bandits rushed over and tried to escape through the gate.
Naturally, these people will die the fastest. Fifty divine arm crossbows are not just for fun, they will kill one by one.
Li Fei also picked up the crossbow and fired. This was the one he got after killing the black dragon. It was very commemorative, so he kept it.
In less than a stick of incense, there were corpses lying on the ground not far from the door.
More bandits were fleeing here one after another. One of them stood out in particular. He was wearing a suit of armor and had a plump figure. He was protected by seven or eight people and ran here.
When the fat man saw the posture at the door, he felt desperate and did not dare to move forward, nor did he dare to retreat hastily.
He had some knowledge and knew that the archers were armed with divine arm crossbows, which had a very long range.
"May I ask if the man at the door is the head of Bailong Village? I am Hou Tian. In fact, I have already planned to go and submit to you tomorrow. Brother, why are you so impatient?"
Hou Tian signaled those around him to step back and not to rush forward rashly, while shouting loudly.
Li Fei naturally didn't believe his lies and shouted loudly: "It turns out to be Brother Hou. I have been waiting for you for a whole day. I waited so hard for you not to come that I came up with this trick. I hope you will, Brother Hou."
Don’t be offended.”
"Haha, Brother Bailong is joking. How can I dare to blame you? I am willing to dedicate all my wealth to you and my concubine. She is a peerless beauty. I only ask Brother Bailong that you can show your respect.
, let the little brother live."
Hou Tian pulled a woman out of the crowd and pushed her to the front of the crowd, intending to trade her for his own life.
This woman is wearing the same clothes as a bandit, but it can still be seen that her features are picturesque and her posture is graceful. She is indeed a very beautiful woman.
"You Hou Tian, how dare you use words to tease our leader, you deserve to die. If you want to survive, you should be captured quickly."
Sanyan stood up and pointed at Hou Tian with a look of justice on his face.
Li Fei then shouted: "Brother Hou, you have also heard that even if I are willing to let you go, my brothers will not agree, so you should surrender and don't make it difficult for me."
The corner of Hou Tian's mouth twitched, but he still held some hope in his heart: "Brother Bailong, I can tell you a secret. This secret can make you have endless wealth, and I can guarantee that except for me, everyone else will have endless wealth."
I don’t know, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will immediately go back to my hometown to farm and never be a bandit again."
"Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Either surrender, or you can die now."
The smile on Li Fei's face dropped and he looked at Hou Tian coldly, with murderous intent in his heart.
Hou Tian is so dishonest that he still wants to escape with just a few words. Does he think everyone is a fool?
Li Fei raised his left hand, and the archery team behind him immediately raised their divine arm crossbows and aimed them at Hou Tian and others.
As long as Li Fei waved his arm, they would launch the crossbow arrows without hesitation, and Hou Tian would be dead by then.
"Don't shoot, I surrender. I just ask you to spare my life."
He had no choice at all, not to mention he didn't want to die. Maybe he could save his life by surrendering, so why not.
He directly threw the sword on his waist far away, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and told others not to resist.
In fact, even without Hou Tian giving an order, his men no longer had the idea of resisting. The dead bodies here are the best proof that anyone who dares to resist will die.
Now that Hou Tian's order was given, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, which meant they no longer had to fight hard.
Everyone threw away their weapons and knelt down on the ground.
Li Fei looked at them and said nothing, just letting them kneel.
He was unwilling to let the archery team take risks. After all, the archery team's close combat capabilities were too weak.
If someone suddenly attacks with evil intentions, he may lose manpower. It is not easy to train an archer.
In less than half an hour, the night attack came to an end. Everyone in Heishan Village died and surrendered, but no one escaped.
When Black Bear returned with his men, Li Feicai ordered all those who had surrendered, such as Hou Tian, to be tied up with ropes.
