NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10 Maybe this place can be of great use
At dawn, Zhang Lu took the three Taoist boys and set out on the journey again. The bandit's den was only an hour away from them.
This time it was much smoother. There was no interference from monsters on the road, and only a few silly roe deer dared to appear in front of them. However, they had other goals and did not waste time on getting that little meat.
One of the Taoist boys knew the way and led them to a reed patch above the river.
"This place" Zhang Lu saw the place in front of him shining brightly. This is a good place!
I saw that the river suddenly opened up here, and the originally turbulent water calmed down, forming a lake, and in the middle of the lake, there was a small island.
This small island looks particularly beautiful in the early morning light, but what is not beautiful is that there is a wooden village on the island. Maybe these bandits have poor aesthetics. This village is extremely uncomfortable to look at. Even the most basic There is no symmetry, and the village gates leading to the water pool are all uneven.
"Won't they feel uncomfortable watching it?" Zhang Lu wished he could rush over and kill all these people, and then bulldoze the village.
If he doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, he will be forced to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, okay?
“But this place”
Although this place is not within his territory, this location is extremely important to his territory.
The Fairyland is surrounded by mountains and rivers. If something wants to attack the Fairyland, it must choose an attack route. To the north is a towering mountain, and the territory is at the foot of the mountain. To attack from the north, you must climb over the mountain, which is equivalent to a Natural danger.
To the west and south is a fast-flowing river. This river turns ninety degrees along the mountains, which just separates the fairyland from the forest in the south. If you are not strong enough, you must take a boat to pass, so that only the plain to the west is left. Forests need protection.
However, if you take a boat down the river from the upper reaches of the territory, because the view is blocked by the mountains, it will be too late to prepare by the time you can see the incoming boat.
And this cottage should be called a water village. After all, Tao Tong is still a child, and the information reported is inaccurate. They have no concept of the difference between a cottage and a water village.
This water village is located upstream of a bend in the river, and has a good view of the situation upstream. The fairyland can just monitor the downstream, so that if there is an enemy coming, it can be warned in advance.
It’s just that they don’t have a boat, so how can they get on there!
He can fly over with his sword, but what about the Taoist boy? It's too dangerous for him to go alone. He doesn't have enough combat experience, and he's not that proficient in using skills. It's too dangerous to attack the water stronghold alone.
"I'm sorry, sir, it was my negligence." Long Yi also discovered this problem. Although it was reported to him by other Taoist boys, he also ignored how they got up.
"It's not a big problem."
Zhang Lu looked at a few little kids with their heads lowered. They were still young, so it was normal for them to not fully consider some things. However, the water village was of such a size that there should be quite a few people there. They must have a way to get to the water village from the shore.
Maybe the boat going up is hidden somewhere!
Could it be that the people on the shore beat drums, and then the water village came out of the boat to greet them.
He didn't believe that the robbers who made such rubbish in this village would have such awareness!
"Come on, let's take a walk along the lake first."
He led several Taoist boys through the reeds, relying on the reeds to cover his body, and observing the surrounding terrain.
"Master, look over there!" One of the Taoist boys suddenly whispered to Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu looked in the direction of his finger and found an old man sitting over there. The old man's skin was dry and wrinkled, and there was a long scar on his face, which showed that he was also a ruthless person when he was young.
The most important thing was that next to him, a small fishing boat lay quietly, waiting for Zhang Lu's arrival.
"I found it, it's you!" A smile appeared on his lips, this is the solution!
The old man was looking at the lake. He was originally the main combatant in the water village and had a lot of power. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong team when the new village leader came to power, and he was old, so he was assigned to be a boatman here.
Just when he was thinking about how to return to the center of power, a sharp sword was placed on his neck.
"Don't make a sound, otherwise you will believe that this sword is faster."
A male voice sounded behind him. If he had the courage to fight when he was young, but when he was old, he had long since lost that ferocity, and gradually became afraid of death and liked to enjoy it.
"Don't kill me! I can help you with whatever you want!"
The first thing he thought of was that the enemies of the water village came to seek revenge. After all, in their line of work, it was normal for them to have many enemies. Moreover, the boss of the water village now had a grudge against him, so there was no pressure to betray him.
When he turned around, his face changed slightly. Except for the oldest one, the people in front of him were all wearing brocade clothes. They looked like a guard bringing three young masters from rich families out to play games.
He has been in the world for so many years and is very confident in his vision.
"Is there any way to take us there without alerting them?"
If the boat is halfway through, the people in the water village will directly try to scuttle the boat. Only Zhang Lu can fly with a sword without falling into the water, and the water avoidance technique can only be used by a third-level Taoist boy.
These three Taoist boys don't know the nature of water. If they fall into the water and are killed by ordinary people, it will be a big loss.
"Yes! Yes!"
"As long as a few of them." He glanced at the Taoist boy, "If the little hero is willing to tie his hands with me and pretend that I caught him, then there won't be any suspicion in the water village."
He said this while looking at the Taoist boys, and he felt that they were the masters.
"Do you think we are stupid?" The long sword in Zhang Lu's hand was closer to his neck. They all relied on their hands to make sword and magic spells. If they tied their hands, wouldn't they be lambs to be slaughtered?
"Don't dare, don't dare!" the old man said hurriedly: "Just pretend, don't really tie me up, they won't look carefully!"
Zhang Lu then took back the long sword, but in order to dispel the petty thoughts of the man in front of him, he held the sword fingers and let the long sword fly back to the scabbard behind the Taoist boy.
"Ah?" The old man's eyes widened, "Professional. Professional!"
He really wanted to find a way to capture these people just now, especially a few cute little babies. The third master of their water village was good at this.
Are you kidding me? A young man and a few dolls can shock him, so why should he join the bandit world? If he catches them, he can get a reward.
However, these thoughts disappeared when Zhang Lu showed his skills. There was a huge gap between ordinary people and professionals. Even a few little kids were enough to kill him.
Maybe they can really conquer the water stronghold. As the leader, he must have some preferential treatment!
It didn't matter whether he had money or not, as long as he could see the village leader who had a grudge against him being tortured, it would be more comfortable than enjoying it himself.
"Little heroes, please tie them up and pretend." Thinking of this, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Don't laugh like that, it's a bit disgusting." The corners of Zhang Lu's mouth twitched. This man looked really ugly when he smiled.
However, they still wrapped the rope around their wrists a few times and sat on the old little fishing boat.
