Chapter 191: Chapter 193: Dealing with Mountain Bandits (4)_1

The gang’s leader immediately shouted, "The Azure Dragon Gang is invading the village - "

His subordinate echoed, "They have everything you need to consume and discharge!"

The gang’s leader: "Kidnap a beauty for a wife - "

"There are pigs, sheep and kids too!"

This was the slogan of the Azure Dragon stronghold. After ransacking numerous villages, they would always yell this out upon entering. The villagers would realize the mountain bandits were coming, and except for our village, the villagers elsewhere would probably end up in utter chaos.

"Brothers, let’s go - "

However, the moment the word "go" came out of the gang’s leader’s mouth, arrows suddenly shot towards them from everywhere in the darkness.

The bandits barely had time to react when many of their comrades in the outer circle fell. Death and injury ensued.

"What in the world?" The gang’s leader immediately ordered everyone to be on high alert, "Be cautious!"

Meanwhile, he also had two of his goons shield him from the front. The third and fourth leaders also delegated goons to shield them.

Wang Dachuan was utterly terrified. "Gang leader, this is exactly the sort of arrows we were hit with last night. We lost over a dozen brothers."

"What are you afraid of? Figure out which direction the arrows came from!"

However, the surroundings soon returned to tranquility.

There were no second round of arrows.

It was through Wang Erchun that the gang leader understood there were merely two rounds of arrows last night. So many were shot this time; this should be it.

Hence, he commanded his subordinates to proceed into the village.

Of course, it was not the gang’s leader at the forefront but rather his goons.

The bandits trod very carefully with every step.

They reached the village and could see houses, but there were no more arrows shooting out. Their guard was let down and the gang’s leader ordered his brothers to charge ahead.

However, they hadn’t even run two yards before arrows resurfaced from all around.

Immediately following the chorus of wails, the number of bandits was reduced by more than a dozen.

What was even stranger was the shorter arrows that were interspersed with the longer ones. No one knew where they were coming from either.

The bandits finally realized they needed to scatter as this would make them less of a target.

Hence, the appropriate description of their state would be ’running around like a headless chicken’.

The bandits thought they would be safe once they got inside the houses. However, upon barging in, they discovered traps at each doorstep. Some caused rocks to fall or sickles to be thrown out, while others cast nets over them, reducing the bandits by more bit-by-bit.

Only about four dozen of the initial bandits survived the ordeal.

The remaining bandits, infuriated, vented their anger on the villagers. Those who had forced their way into a house wished they could kill every villager. But upon entering the houses, they were dumbfounded. The entire village was deserted, with no one to be found.

The gang’s leader then commanded, "Search! You must search for them. I will make this entire village accompany our deceased brothers!"

...

That night.

Wang Dachuan took the lead as the remaining bandits cautiously followed.

Wang Dachuan grew old in this village, thus he knew it like the back of his hand. However, even after searching the entire village with the bandits, they didn’t encounter a single soul.

He couldn’t help but mumble to himself, "Where could they have all hidden? Did they leave the village? Or hide in the back mountains?"

The leader then scolded Wang Dachuan, "I don’t care where they are. You’d better turn over every stone and scour every inch of the mountains to find them! If they cannot be found tonight, we will stay in the village. I refuse to believe that these people will never return!"
