Chapter 416 - Chapter 416 Chapter 412 Taoties Puzzling Behavior

Chapter 416: Chapter 412 Taotie’s Puzzling Behavior Chapter 416: Chapter 412 Taotie’s Puzzling Behavior Taotie glanced at the city wall, crawled forward, and made his way to one side before stealthily scaling the wall and silently approaching the two men.

When he was less than five meters away from the duo, a cold glint flashed in Taotie’s eyes as he suddenly pounced at them like a tiger bursting out of its cage.

His long sword slashed out swiftly.

With a wet thrust–

The bright blade fell, and blood splattered in an instant, a human head rolling onto the ground.

Without pausing, Taotie’s hand reversed, slashing again with the blade.

The sharp edge of the sword plunged into the open mouth of another Dahan, severing his tongue, piercing through the back of the skull, and, with the tip protruding, it pinned to the beacon tower on the city wall.

“Heh, trash.”

Taotie snorted coldly, pulling out his long sword.

Without the support of the long sword, the corpse collapsed onto the ground in an instant.

Taotie wiped the blood off the blade onto the corpses before sheathing his sword.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, handed Taotie’s backpack to Brainless, and quickly ran towards the city wall.

Fang Xiaocao and Brainless climbed atop the city wall.

Staring at the two men’s bodies, Fang Xiaocao’s gaze was exceptionally calm, “There should be more than these two lookouts. You and Brainless need to root out all the lookouts, eliminate potential dangers.”

Taotie grinned viciously, “Affirmative!”

Fang Xiaocao helped Brainless take off the backpack, gave him some instructions about making sure the enemy didn’t make a sound when he attacked, and then said, “Let’s go.”

Taotie nodded, flipped over, and jumped off the city wall.

He crept towards the left.

Fang Xiaocao pointed to the right, and Brainless, understanding the signal, quickly scaled away and vanished into the night.

Fang Xiaocao crouched down and began searching the bodies.

He confiscated all the weapons on the two men for himself.

Two pistols, two daggers.

Plus two canteens and several compressed biscuits.

Sitting beside the corpses, Fang Xiaocao ate the compressed biscuits and drank water while waiting for Taotie and Brainless, but his mind was filled with concern for Tom.

“I wonder if Tom is faring well?”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to himself.

—

Taotie was a true master of killing.

Looting and assassination were his forte.

Having left Fang Xiaocao just moments ago, Taotie had already found his second target.

The lookouts were still two big men.

These two were not only unalert, but they were even barely sober.

Watching the two Dahans drinking and toasting each other, Taotie licked his lips, eager not to let the fools drink all the wine. He sped up and in no time had climbed onto the wall, his face twisted in a menacing smile, “Motherfucker, put down my wine, you trash don’t deserve to drink it.”

The next second!

Before the two drunks could turn around.

Taotie struck.

Not wanting to dirty the wine and food with blood, he tossed aside the long sword, lunged forward in a swift step, and punched the closest drunk right in the chest.

Crack–

Taotie’s iron fist landed, and a clear sound of breaking bones emanated from the drunk’s body.

A large dent formed where the heart was located.

The drunk’s eyes widened instantly.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Taotie grabbed the drunk and flung him away effortlessly.

With a spinning elbow strike, he brutally smashed the throat of the other drunk.

One hit and the target was down, offering no more resistance, but Taotie didn’t plan to let him off so easily. He casually locked onto the drunk’s neck and twisted hard.

Crack–

The drunk’s neck broke.

Taotie picked up the corpse of the drunk and tossed it off the city wall like throwing out trash.

Gulp–

Staring at the spread of food and drink, Taotie couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. After eating dried meat and crushed biscuits for so long, Taotie had been craving something more.

Now faced with such delicacies, he naturally couldn’t move on. He looked around to make sure there weren’t any other hidden guards nearby and then sat down to feast.

Taotie grabbed a bottle and guzzled down a few gulps, then snatched a handful of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Burp–

Ten minutes later, Taotie let out a contented belch and patted his belly satisfyingly.

“This chicken leg is for Princess Your Highness, she probably won’t hit me now, right?”

Taotie muttered guiltily.

He carefully wrapped up the chicken leg and tucked it into his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then even packed the cleanly gnawed chicken bones: “The bones are for Brainless to try something new.”

After he had prepared everything, Taotie picked up his knife and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Half an hour later!

Fang Xiaocao’s expression changed as she alertly lifted her rifle and also pinched a few hidden weapons in her hand.

“Princess Your Highness, it’s me!”

Taotie’s voice came through, and Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, putting down her gun.

At the same time, Brainless silently crept up the city wall and squatted down beside Fang Xiaocao’s feet.

Fang Xiaocao glanced at Brainless and saw the blood around his mouth, which told her that he had indulged in a fleshy feast behind her back.

She thought to herself: “I must make Brainless give up his bad habit of eating human flesh when we get back.”

But when Fang Xiaocao turned and saw the greasy shine on Taotie’s face, her thoughts shifted: “Better to get Taotie to quit eating first.”

Fang Xiaocao glared at Taotie: “Taotie, Taotie, it’s one thing for Brainless to snack behind my back, I don’t eat what he does, but how could you grub without me?”

Taotie grinned and chuckled, then pulled out the chicken leg like a treasure and held it out to Fang Xiaocao: “Princess Your Highness, please accept this with a smile.”

“How could I eat behind your back?”

“I just nibbled on some chicken bones, but the meaty leg, I specially brought back for you.”

Taotie smiled ingratiatingly, looking even more servile than Brainless.

Fang Xiaocao cocked her head at Taotie, who sheepishly licked his lips: “I also had a bit of wine.”

“That’s all, I swear. Really, that’s it.”

“By the time I got there, the other two were too drunk and left hardly anything.”

Fang Xiaocao rolled her eyes at Taotie: “At least you thought of me, so I won’t make you give up eating.”

Saying this, Fang Xiaocao took the chicken leg and started eating hungrily.

Having gnawed on compressed biscuits and dried meat for days, the chicken leg seemed like a delicacy, and now Fang Xiaocao was just as eager.

Brainless kept sniffing the tantalizing smell of the chicken leg, silently drooling.

Seeing this, Taotie chuckled and pulled out the bag of chicken bones: “Brainless, I was thinking of you.”

“Here, these chicken bones are specially for you, try them.”

Taotie handed the chicken bones to Brainless, gesturing for him to eat quickly and not to waste his kind gesture.

Watching all this, Fang Xiaocao nearly burst into laughter: “You big oaf, you actually treat Brainless like a dog, giving him bones.”

“Close enough, Brainless loves to eat, doesn’t he?”

Taotie said, pointing to Brainless gnawing on chicken bones, all smiles.

Fang Xiaocao was speechless.

She thought: “What an outrageous pair.”

Yet she still stuffed the remaining bit of meat on the chicken leg into Brainless’s mouth, much like feeding a dog.

“Is everything taken care of?”

Fang Xiaocao asked.

“Mhm, all taken care of.”

Taotie responded.

“Did Brainless check his side?”

Fang Xiaocao asked again.

“Don’t worry, everything was checked thoroughly.”

Fang Xiaocao nodded: “Nice job.”
