Chapter 26: Outsmarted

The night came to an end quietly.

The boundless darkness is like a beast's mouth, swallowing everything crazily.

Deep in the dense forest, the rapid chirping of crickets could be heard in the grass. The sound was quick and slow, seeming to blend into the dark night.

On the grass stained with night dew, a short man with an extremely vulgar face, carrying a cross foil sword on his back, was taking advantage of the night to move forward quickly.

Suddenly, he stopped walking and focused his eyes on a tree trunk with a section of bark peeled off.

A cross foil pattern is engraved on the surface of the tree trunk. Different from other cross foil patterns, the sword body in this pattern is engraved with two wave-like patterns.

Seeing the pattern, the man couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.

Without hesitation, he dove into the dense forest not far away, making sounds like cuckoos chirping from his mouth.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!" The man's voice imitated it perfectly.

As soon as his cry rang out, a response came from the forest not far away.

"Cuckoo..." The sound sounded like the panting of some kind of bird.

Hearing the secret signal and an agreement, the man no longer hesitated and walked quickly into the grass.

"Junior brother He, are you the one who found the two fat sheep?" the man asked as he walked.

Just when he walked into the place where the bird's panting sound came from, two sword lights burst out from the steep and thorny grass.

The bright sword light was like fleeting lightning, disappearing as soon as it appeared.

Seeing the flash of sword light in front of him, the man couldn't help but be startled.

He was about to ask when suddenly he felt a chill in his vest, and then he saw a shining sword tip piercing his chest.

"Junior Brother He, you..." The man covered his chest and turned around in horror.

When he discovered that the person standing behind him was not the familiar Junior Brother He, his mind went blank and his face was full of shock.

The man's body slowly fell forward. For a moment after he fell to the ground, Ye Feng, who was standing behind him, pulled out the Desert Guyan Sword that had been inserted into the man's chest.

Looking at the man's body, the corners of Ye Feng's mouth turned up, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He quickly bent over, turned over the man's body, and found a hidden gauze belt from the man's waist.

Just like the disciple surnamed He who died first, the man also had more than a dozen Warcraft crystal cores hidden in his waist.

Apart from these crystal nuclei, among the items on the man's body, there was one more money bag than the disciple named He.

Ye Feng opened the money bag, took a rough inventory, and found that there were nearly fifty taels of gold leaves in the money bag.

Obviously, these gold leaves should be the private work of this disciple of the Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect. Thinking that just two disciples of the Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect had items worth hundreds of taels of gold, Ye Feng became even more enthusiastic.

After plundering the man's valuables, Ye Feng and He Huan quickly walked deep into the dense forest.

Seeing Ye Feng leaving the man's body alone, He Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He asked in a low voice: "Then the body is just left here and left alone?"

Ye Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes. Do you think destroying corpses and eradicating traces will bring greater panic to the enemy, or leaving corpses one after another, so that the disciples of the Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect can see the tragic deaths of their fellow sects, which will bring more fear to the enemy.

It’s more shocking.”

He Huan was stunned by Ye Feng's explanation. He did not expect that Ye Feng seemed to be careless and omitted, but in fact he was meticulous and calculated every detail from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Feng and the two walked in the forest for nearly half an hour.

During this period of time, the two men left several Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect contact marks in the jungle.

The content of the mark was all about the news of the discovery of the fat sheep. After doing the job of spreading the news, Ye Feng took He Huan to a half-withered tree. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the trunk to confirm that the tree was hollow.

Finally, he jumped to the top of the tree trunk and used his sword to carefully dig into the hollow part of the tree.

After half a stick of incense, Ye Feng dug out the hollow of the tree. He signaled He Huan to hide in the tree hollow, then turned and walked towards the grass on the far side.

Hiding in the tree cave, through the hole reserved by Ye Feng, He Huan clearly saw Ye Feng flopping around in the grass for a while, and his whole body was completely submerged in the grass.

He Huan realized that Ye Feng was hiding something that even he couldn't believe he was hiding in when he saw it with his own eyes. He Huan had a feeling in his heart. At this moment, Ye Feng in the forest was like a fish returning to the sea. The fish hiding in the forest

Spirit Ape, everything is so random and natural.

The second hour after Ye Feng and He Huan lurked, there was a rush of footsteps in the distant jungle.

Listening to the voices, it can be judged that there are at least five people, and the footsteps of the other party are very light, and they seem to be on strict guard.

Seeing Ye Feng making a gesture indicating that someone was coming, He Huanxin understood.

He held the sword tightly, held his breath, and was ready to kill the enemy at any time.

Gradually, the footsteps were getting closer and closer to where Ye Feng and the two were hiding.

As the footsteps approached, Ye Feng clearly judged the opponent's level from the sound.

The strength of the five people who came was roughly between the eighth-level swordsman and the ninth-level swordsman. If this were not the case, their breathing would definitely not be light and restrained.

Getting closer, the person coming is getting closer.

Seeing that the person coming was less than thirty meters away from where he was hiding, Ye Feng suddenly made a "coo-coo-coo" sound.

The sound reached the visitor's ears, immediately arousing the vigilance of the five people.

Almost at the same time, the five people quickly rushed towards Ye Feng's hiding place, and the long swords in their hands were unsheathed.

Suddenly, a burst of bright vitality burst out from where Ye Feng was hiding.

The sword energy, like lightning, scattered in all directions, covering the five people who were rushing towards them.

Seeing the sword energy coming towards his face, the visitor's expression suddenly changed and he quickly stepped back.

However, just as they retreated to the big tree behind them, suddenly, the giant tree that looked like an ordinary tree exploded from the middle, flashing a dazzling sword light.

The sharp sword in He Huan's hand is like the death scythe that harvests life. Every time it is thrust out, it will take one life.

Seeing that in the blink of an eye, three of their companions were beheaded and their heads were missing, the remaining two sword cultivators couldn't help but let out bursts of roars at the same time, and rushed towards He Huan with their cross foil swords waving.

The cross foil sword passed through the void and immediately made bursts of sounds like howling ghosts and wolves.

Hearing the sound, He Huan's face immediately darkened, and a group of floating skulls seemed to suddenly appear in front of his eyes, making ghostly screams.

"Where did those flying skulls come from?" He Huan thought blankly, feeling that the skulls were getting closer to his face, and he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

"If I die, I will also turn into a skeleton." He Huan suddenly had this thought in his heart.

When this thought completely enveloped his heart, his eyes became blurred and lost their former glory.

"He Huan!" Ye Feng shouted loudly behind the two Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect disciples.

The timely scolding was like a basin of cold water falling on his head, waking He Huan up from his confusion.

Realizing that there was a flaw in his mind, He Huan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. He knew very well that if Ye Feng hadn't warned him in time, he might have become a dead soul under the opponent's sword.

Seeing the cross foil falling on his head, He Huan's body was filled with murderous intent.

He suddenly raised his wrist, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out diagonally like a poisonous snake.

With a pop, the Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect disciple closest to him had a bloody hole pierced through his throat by the long sword.

Seeing the long sword in He Huan's hand, which was so fast that it was impossible to dodge, the remaining disciple of the Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, turned around and ran away.

Turning around for a moment, the Ghost Skull Sword Sect disciple stood there blankly.

At some point, a young man wearing blue sword cultivator clothing appeared behind him.

Noticing that he turned back, the young man suddenly smiled at him.

Before he could react, he suddenly saw with horror that the sword in the smiling man's hand had been nailed to his heart.

In an assassination, five disciples of the Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect were wiped out.

Until their death, none of the five Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect disciples could clearly see the faces of Ye Feng and He Huan.

After killing five Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect disciples, Ye Feng and He Huan quickly took away their belongings.

After discovering that this assassination had added nearly two thousand taels of gold, even He Huan was stunned by the recent gains.

In just two days, he and Ye Feng had plundered goods worth nearly three thousand taels of gold and two hundred taels of gold in cash.

Thinking that countless people may not be able to obtain what they gain in this day even if they spend their entire lives, He Huan couldn't help but look at Ye Feng with a hint of admiration.

In this world, force alone is not enough, but also super intelligence. He Huan knew very well that if he were to confront the disciples of the Ghost Skull Sword Sect, not to mention killing seven of them in succession, even two of them would probably be killed.

It takes a lot of effort.

"What should we do next?" Unknowingly, He Huan began to get used to obeying Ye Feng's orders.

Hearing He Huan's question, Ye Feng smiled mysteriously.

He tore off a large piece of snow-white underwear from a disciple of the Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect, and then with his fingers stained with blood, he wrote the two blood-red characters "accepting life".

After writing the challenge note, Ye Feng hung it above the corpses of the five Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect disciples, and then took He Huan and walked deep into the dense forest ahead again.

Night comes quietly and leaves quietly, just like those dead Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect disciples, even disappearing from the world, they are so silent.

In the early morning, the last darkness before dawn is completely covered by the red sun jumping out of the horizon.

Just when the morning sun shone brightly on the eastern sky, more than twenty figures appeared where Ye Feng had killed five disciples of the Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect.

These people all carried cross foil swords on their backs and had cold and gloomy expressions.

Seeing the corpses of five fellow disciples on the ground in front of them, the expressions of these twenty or so people all turned extremely ugly.

In the center of the crowd, there was a middle-aged man who looked to be at least in his thirties, with a hint of murderous intent rising from his body.

He raised his head and saw the bloody white cloth fluttering in the wind on the treetops, and the man's expression became increasingly gloomy.

"Everyone listens to the order. From now on, we will give up the hunt for prey and search for the murderer of the sect disciples with all our strength. I want to see who took the courage of the ambitious leopard and dared to assassinate our Ghost Skeleton Sword Sect.

Disciple." The man said fiercely.

After saying this, a piece of black mist suddenly released from his palm, shattering the piece of white cloth with the words "Death" written on it.

Yesterday I owed you 6,000 words, and today I owe you 6,000 words again. It’s not that Tiger doesn’t want to finish, but that Tiger is really overwhelmed now. He has been severely deprived of sleep recently, and Tiger almost fell flat while walking today. If so.

If he continues to endure like this, Tiger may really not be able to hold on any longer.

There is only one update today, so I owe the remaining six thousand first. Just like I promised before, I will pay back double the debt. Now the total debt is 12,000, and the tiger has to pay back 24,000. When everything is fine, I will start paying off the debt.

Ten days is not over, just twenty or thirty days. In short, Tiger will make up for everything it owes everyone while ensuring quality.
