"Wow! I didn't expect that!"

The soldiers in charge of the search suddenly realized what was going on, and then they all fawned over Lin He.

"Chief Lin, you are indeed very observant."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have become the captain at such a young age."

Lin He was very pleased with the flattery; his lips pursed so much they seemed to stretch for miles.

"Of course I'm good! You're lucky to be with me, so learn from me!"

The soldiers hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right," then turned their faces away, rolling their eyes in disgust and spitting on the ground with a "pui" sound.

Lin He led his soldiers out of the nameless temple.

He thought his plan was flawless, but he never imagined that his conversation with the soldiers was overheard by Lu Jing, who was hiding in a tree.

Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws.

Lu Jing broke off a branch from the tree and used it as a back scratcher on his back.

"All traces have been cleaned up, except for the outhouse."

After scratching his back, Lu Jing scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

With this flaw revealed, the bandits knew that someone lived in the nameless temple and would come to search it every few days...

It seems we'll have to find another place to settle.

Lu Jing pondered this in his mind, then quietly climbed down from the tree and continued to follow the group of bandits, hoping to eavesdrop on some more news.

But when they reached halfway up the mountain, the bandits hadn't even had a chance to mount their horses.

"roar--!"

A sudden, deafening thunderclap startled the surrounding birds, causing them to take flight from the branches and flap their wings.

"Is it raining?"

Lin He, who was walking at the front, stopped, looked up at the sky, and stretched out his right hand: "The sun is shining brightly, and there's not a single star. Why is there thunder out of nowhere?"

not good!

The land whale, hiding in the grass, shuddered.

What the hell is this thunder? It's clearly the roar of a ferocious beast.

And the roar was incredibly familiar.

Just as they were pondering, another roar was heard, followed by a huge black shadow falling from the sky and crashing down in front of Lin He and the others.

I said it sounded familiar.

Lu Jing stared at the mountain demon in front of him, which looked like a small mountain, and then turned to look at Lin He and the others who were standing there dumbfounded.

Brothers, you're in luck!

Roar!

The mandrill roared and approached step by step.

Lin He and the others trembled as if they were sifting wheat grains, and instinctively backed away.

"Hey, Lin Tou, what... what is this thing?"

The bandits behind him asked tremblingly, and Lin He swallowed hard: "This thing is called a mountain demon, it's a ferocious beast."

"A ferocious beast?" the bandit asked as they retreated. "How ferocious?"

"It wouldn't take me the time it takes to smoke a pipe to eat you, so how fierce do you think that is?"

"ah?!"

The bandits shrank back abruptly, panicking, and cried out, "Chief Lin, what are we waiting for? Let's run!"

"No!"

Lin He raised his hand: "Don't let them run, capture them alive!"

"Capture them alive?" The bandits shuddered again.

Capture them alive?

Lu Jing, standing in the grass, was also startled and looked at Lin He in astonishment.

No, bro, do you want to hear what you're saying?

This is a mandrill! When you encounter it, it's not a question of whether you can catch it alive, it's a question of whether you can survive.

Roar--!

The enormous black mandrill roared again, and the bandits retreated once more. Only Lin He remained calm and stood still.

"Useless!"

He turned to his men and angrily rebuked them: "You're all terrified by just one beast? There are dozens of us, armed with knives and arrows, and we can't even catch one beast?!"

"If we catch it, we'll present it to Lord Qibao, who loves rare and exotic animals. We'll surely be rewarded, and maybe we'll even get a seven or eight-year-old, fair-skinned little child to eat."

"Yes, that's true."

Hearing this, the bandits mustered their courage and took small steps forward, drawing their swords.

Just then.

hum-

A melodious flute tune rose from not far away.

Hmm? The piper has reappeared!

Lu Jing looked up and followed the sound, locking onto a ravine at the three o'clock position.

The sound was coming from there.

rustling --

Lu Jing carefully moved his body, retreated from his hiding place, and quickly moved towards the three o'clock direction.

I've always wanted to know who you are, and now that you've reappeared, I can't miss this opportunity.

rustling --

The land whale swiftly darted through the forest.

at the same time.

Lin He's side.

Accompanied by the sound of a flute, two more mandrills of the same size leaped out from the forest.

"Oh my God!"

The bandits nearly bit their tongues: "Two more?!"

"That would be even better!"

Lin He excitedly raised his knife: "Charge! Capture them all!"

After saying that, Lin He was the first to rush forward, and the bandits behind him swallowed hard and had no choice but to follow suit.

The shouts of battle were deafening.

"Really?"

Lu Jing stopped upon hearing the sound, stood on the hillside, and observed from his vantage point:

Three mandrills roared and charged into the ranks of the bandits.

The largest mandrill punched a bandit soldier so hard that his face was dented, and blood gushed out from his seven orifices.

A mandrill with a tuft of red hair on its back opened its mouth and bit a bandit's throat, tearing off a large chunk of flesh that exposed the blood vessels in his neck.

The smallest mandrill jumped up and landed directly on a bandit soldier, making a crisp cracking sound as his bones broke, followed by him coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

Although the bandits were dressed in leather armor and carried swords, they were armed to the teeth.

But they were completely helpless against the mandrill, whose strength was several times that of a human.

Before long, dozens of bandits were killed or wounded. A few survivors ran in terror toward the mountains, but the three mountain demons had no intention of letting them go and continued to pursue them relentlessly.

Strange.

Lu Jing continued to approach the woods at the three o'clock position.

When they encountered the mandrill before, the flutist gave a command, and the mandrill obediently left.

But why, today, when facing enemy soldiers, do we have to exterminate them all?

rustling --

Lu Jing swiftly darted through the forest, reaching the vicinity of his destination in less than the time it takes to smoke a pipe.

Instead of revealing himself rashly, Lu Jing slowed his pace, quietly found a large tree, climbed up it, and looked down.

really!

In a patch of gentians, a slender figure wearing a straw hat was packing a bundle, among which was a flute.

Lu Jing silently climbed down the tree.

I approached that figure step by step.

The opponent can control mandrills by playing the flute, so rush over and grab the flute as soon as possible to prevent her from summoning mandrills.

A battle plan was generated inside its belly. The land whale crouched down like a cat and approached little by little.

When the two were about ten feet apart, Lu Jing exerted his strength in his waist and abdomen, then pushed off with both legs, leaping out from the gentian flower bushes.

"what?"

While the piper was still in a daze, Lu Jing landed and kicked the flute out of his hand.

click-

The flute fell two meters behind him.

Then, Lu Jing thrust forward and slammed his shoulder down, slamming it heavily into the flute player's chest.

cough cough-

The enormous impact caused the piper to fall to the ground.

Lu Jing immediately rushed over, spread his legs, straddled him, and slammed his fist into the nose of the masked piper, demanding sharply:

"Who exactly are you?"
