Storm of Kings

Chapter 44 Secret Path

The devil did not attack that day, and the village was quiet from morning to night.

The village was a lively day. The villagers ate and drank, and several elders walked the streets to distribute weapons.

Zhou Lie went to the village chief's house and stayed for about half an hour, after which the village chief sought out several leaders in the village.

It is reported that the village head took out the artifact handed down from his ancestors and wanted to show the thieves a good look tonight.

There is also news that the village chief holds a large sum of money, which was also prepared by the old ancestor for future generations. Once the ancestral training was left, the next village chief of the old village chief is eligible to use this money.

When the sun went down, the villagers began to prepare for battle, sharpening their swords fast and bright.

Every family is gearing up, and those little bosses who have the ability to gather popularity can't wait to fly out of the village with wings.

In the evening, Tang Qiqi made a circle around the village, and when she returned to the cave, she shook her head towards Zhou Lie.

"The villagers look down on the thief too much. They will definitely suffer. Are you sure you want to act tonight? And they have to drag me."

Zhou Lie smiled bitterly: "After the villagers got those weapons, they couldn't listen to what other people were saying. I specifically called a few family members to remind them in the afternoon, but they didn't take it to heart. Sometimes they feel that people feel terrible and they hold sharp weapons. It can make people blindly swell. Fortunately, they only need to mess up the situation and have Uncle Guo to solve the problem."

"Hmph, you can't put the treasure on the lid of that old turtle, what if there is an accident in the middle? Have you considered retreating?"

"The village is here. My family, Fatty and Tianbao's family, they are all here, even if I want to quit, where can I retreat? So I can only bite the bullet and fight."

Suddenly, Zhou Lie stared at Tang Qiqi closely, and took a deep breath and said, "There was no way out before, and now you are my way out."

"I?"

Tang Qiqi pointed to his nose and shouted, "Smelly guy, you're exaggerating me too much?"

"It's not a promotion, but there is no other way. The humidity is heavy at night, and you can gather the humidity to form a thick fog. Maybe you can save your life at a critical moment."

Zhou Lie clenched his fists and said solemnly: "This kind of powerlessness is very uncomfortable, and it makes me feel like I am suffocating all the time, so I have to gain strength, break all restraints, and not let myself live in vain."

"Huh..." Tang Qiqi felt a mighty aura radiating outwards, and was shocked in his heart: "It's weird, this guy clearly has mixed blood and does not have a clear main vein. Why does he suddenly realize it? This kind of aura? It's definitely not easy to be the same, did his experience resonate with a certain bloodline? It is transforming from the hidden vein into the main vein."

The mighty momentum passed away for a while, let Tang Qiqi breathe a sigh of relief, and thought: "I guessed randomly. It should be that this guy is too depressed. Before the battle, let me vent out in a muddle. Speaking of it, the little girl is really bad luck. I just got a few bundles of ancient books. I have to desperately work hard, and sooner or later I will be sold by this stinky guy and count the money for him. Really annoying, the recent IQ and EQ seem to have been offline! Is this the most difficult Tang Qiqi among the younger generation of the Tang family? Mother Buddha! Bless the child, you still have to recover from the child!"

At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Zu Wanhao and Xu Tianbao came over.

"Brother Lie, the second elder and the fourth elder have left the village. The village chief's grandsons and the third elder are very calm, and there has been no movement until now."

Xu Tianbao clarified the situation in the village in the first sentence of the meeting.

"Okay, let's act now."

Zhou Lie got up and walked ahead. After the four left the cave, ten figures followed closely.

Not much time, Xu Xiaohuan and Guo Xingyan also joined the team.

The team consisted of sixteen people. Among them, the ten figures had mysterious origins. They were sent by the village chief and led by four gray-haired elders. Zhou Lie had never seen them in the village.

Guo Xingyan glanced sideways.

This was clearly meant for Zhou Lie. On the surface, Kaiyuan Village, which was peaceful and peaceful, turned out to be the retirement home for these desperate bandits, and the four little ghosts almost couldn't turn their heads.

The headed old man smiled kindly: "Hehe, half of his neck is buried in the loess, and in the end, he can play the waste heat for the juniors. It is really indescribable."

Just looking at the face of the old man, it really didn't look like a thief with a knife head licking blood.

The next few middle-aged men were full of hideous faces, and their eyes were bloodthirsty and cold, which made people shudder at the first glance.

Sixteen people quickly shuttled through the night, and came to the communal granary in the village in short time.

The village chief was dressed in neat black clothes and had been standing alone in front of the door for a long time. He just nodded when he saw people coming and did not speak.

After a while, the door panel made a "creaking" sound and opened to both sides by itself.

The village head took the lead in stepping in, leading everyone around the three grain stacks and came to a slightly rough wall.

The old man did not turn his head, and said silently for a moment: "Old brother, I have entrusted the four little ones to you. If an accident happens and encounters force majeure, then take them out of Kaiyuan Village. The horses have been sent to the secret of the village. Stronghold, there will be plenty of opportunities to come back to rebuild the village in the future."

"Understand, they are also the descendants of my old nine." The white-haired old man smiled slightly, as kind as the grandfather next door.

The village chief slapped the wall casually, and there was a humming noise on the ground, and a deep passage was cracked downward. Few people in the village knew that there was a secret road leading directly outside the village.

The white-haired old man jumped in, and the others quickly followed.

When Zhou Lie jumped down, he found everyone crowded on a very simple wooden minecart.

There was a sudden stop, and the wooden minecart slid forward slowly.

After a short while, the minecart began to accelerate.

With the whistling of the wind in my ears, I can feel the darkness rushing towards my face with moisture all the time.

About ten minutes later, fine sparks appeared on both sides of the minecart, which slowed down a little bit, and finally stopped by a stone platform.

The white-haired old man said: "Okay! Children, we are here. This is the branch of the underground river. After another three minutes, you can get into the dense forest outside the village through the secret road. Boy Zhou, listen to the village head Night vision binoculars, this is a rare good thing. It is most suitable for operation at night. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take action. Young people should be active and find out those thieves."

Zhou Lie winked at Xu Tianbao.

When it comes to finding way and reconnaissance, few people can surpass Xu Tianbao. Now that he has such a weapon as a night vision telescope, it is really even more powerful.

Tonight, the three elders were also equipped with night vision binoculars, to see if the people on their side could stun them.
