you're just a player

Chapter 72

A group of people packed up and set off to continue the itinerary for the second day. The planned journey for the second day was shorter than the first day. If you take a stroll, you can reach Shuncheng before dark.

However, on the road between the small town and Shuncheng, there is a cottage with a hundred or so bandits entrenched in it. The four old bodyguards have informed the players early on, telling them not to panic or act rashly.

At noon, passing a relatively winding section of road between two mountains, after turning a few turns, the group had to stop because the road ahead was blocked by thorns.

The death row prisoner subconsciously wanted to step forward with a knife to open the way, because he and another bodyguard did the heavy work of opening the way along the way.

He was about to move, but Shen Fei raised his hand to stop him, signaling him not to move yet, and the death row prisoner also obediently stopped in his tracks.

A group of people stood waiting in place. The four old bodyguards seemed to be used to it, but they were only a little on guard. Chen Jin handed the reins to one of the bodyguards. He took a few steps forward, clasped his fists at the lush forests on both sides, and said loudly:
"Xingyuan Chen Jin, I took my brother out to sing an opera today, and I hope you guys can make it easier for me." After finishing speaking, he stood where he was and waited quietly.

After a while, there was a rustling sound, several people in different clothes and holding swords came out of the forest, the leader of them was holding a firecracker in his hand.

Shen Fei was quite surprised. Firecrackers were something that existed in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, hot weapons already had the shadow of modern firearms, and they were not so backward. This shows that the technology tree of this world is quite different from that of the Qing Dynasty in history. .

Because of its short range, inability to fire continuously, and time-consuming reloading, firecrackers are not even as easy to use as continuous crossbows.Even so, this was the first time Shen Fei saw someone using thermal weapons in this world.

The visitor looked at Chen Jin for a while, and asked, "Like Chen Jin?"

Chen Jin nodded: "I'm the one who met this hero."

The man asked lightly, "Whose food do you eat?"

This is called saying a few words of "Chun Dian", also known as "Diao Kan'er", which means to use Jianghu slang to circle the road, and saying a few words is just a formality.

Chen Jin chuckled and replied, "Eat a friend's meal."

Ask again: "Whose clothes are you wearing?"

Reply: "Wear your friend's clothes, walk in the rivers and lakes, rely on friends to help you."

Looking at Chen Jin from the other side, he was very savvy, and seemed to be used to this kind of situation, so he ordered his subordinates to pull away the thorns and let everyone pass by.

A few people nodded and clasped their fists at the strongman blocking the way, and it was considered a smooth pass.

Escort agencies that often go this way must arrange this stockade in advance, and they will whitelist you, so there will be no embarrassment.

In addition, the thorns that people put in the middle to block the road cannot be moved casually. They must be put away by their own people to comply with the rules.

There was no more trouble along the way, and I arrived in Shuncheng smoothly according to the plan, and there was still no accident on the second night.

During the period, the parrot flew back, and there was no abnormality found in the news that came. Everything was calm, which made Shen Fei a little uneasy.

Until the afternoon of the fifth day.

The convoy drove to a relatively open plain, and saw a group of knights roaring from a distance, with hooves flying, and the speed was not slow.

According to the usual practice, Shen Fei rang the gong, and led the crowd to shout loudly: "Let's go with the escort car, and Jianghu will return safely in half a year."

Along the way, I have encountered rogues and robbers many times, shouted a slogan from a distance, and most of the intruders dispersed.

Of course, some individuals still approached. After Chen Jin reported his name, they smiled awkwardly and chatted with each other, trying to establish a relationship. If they don’t kiss their righteous relatives, they just turn around and leave as if nothing happened. .

This time it was different, a group of thirty came to ride, and they reined in their horses when they reached the front, with long knives on their shoulders, and each of them whistled, which was to show off their prestige.

Chen Jin hurried forward, reported his name, and tried to chat with the other party, but the other party didn't want to talk to him very much, and even insulted him several times.

Chen Jin said calmly: "You are a hero in the forest, I am a friend online, you are in the forest, I am outside the forest, you and I are a family, we have something to discuss."

The leader scoffed, and said contemptuously: "Whoever is with your family, who knows how to leave money and goods, we will only rob money, not kill."

Chen Jin suppressed his anger and finally tried his best: "We were a family 500 years ago. It was friends who ate meat, not friends who gnawed bones. If you gnawed bones, don't regret it."

While speaking, the spear was tightly held by him. At this moment, the sword was on the verge of breaking out, and he had already held back his words twice and three times. If the other party still insisted on grabbing, then he had no choice but to fight.

Seeing Chen Jin's attitude, the other party knew that they were also determined to ask for bodyguards. After a greeting, more than thirty people got off their horses and rushed towards this side with their knives in hand.

Chen Jin and his party had only two horses, and they were so numerous that they felt that it would not be a problem to take down Chen Jin and the others, so they got off their horses to fight.

Chen Jin also greeted his brothers to show off their weapons, and the two sides officially met.

Chen Jin was taken extra care of, and five or six people surrounded him just in front of him. The leader of the group, with a big knife in his hand, swung like a tiger, and his moves were powerful and heavy.

Chen Jin picked up his spear repeatedly, not only blocking the leader's slashes again and again, but also taking care of hitting several other people with the body of the gun at the same time.

It was obvious that five people were besieging Chen Jin alone, but Chen Jin's long spear was unable to defend against him. He occasionally stabbed the besieger, forcing the besiegers to dodge desperately.

In a one-on-five situation, he still has the upper hand, and as time goes by, as long as someone makes a mistake and is caught by him, the situation may be reversed in an instant.

The four bodyguards didn't feel very comfortable here. Some relied on the bodyguard car to prevent them from being attacked, while some ran while fighting, which could reduce the number of enemies they faced at the same time, but they were quite embarrassed.

The robbers took special care of the death row prisoner. He was tall and big, and he had already laid down a brother of the robbers, which made the nearby robbers red-eyed and wanted to besiege him.

At that time, the first robber rushed forward, wielding a long knife in his hand, and slashed at the face of the death row.

Death Row walks with a simple knife, which is a kind of knife between the big knife and the horse-chopping knife. The blade is much longer than the ordinary knife, and it has an advantage in attack distance.

The death row prisoner counterattacked with a knife in his hand, half smashing and half slashing directly at the robber's long knife. This robber is also a person with considerable combat experience. He has long discovered the advantage of his weapon and guarded against him.

The robber, who swung his forward posture earlier, was just a feint attack, but when he saw the death row prisoner slashing at him vigorously, he stopped his momentum in an instant, and jumped back and forth to avoid the blow.

The death row man walks full of strength in a blow, and the blade hits the ground, directly embedded in the soil for more than ten centimeters, raising a large cloud of dust.

However, taking advantage of the death row prisoner's knife swinging out, before it was time to withdraw the knife, another robber beside him stabbed the death row prisoner's waist with a straight sword.

The sword came out of the blue, and the death row prisoner wanted to block it with his sword, but it was too late. When he was in danger, he could only forcefully twist and try to dodge, but because of his hulking back and huge body, he couldn't completely dodge the stab.

The blade of the sword grazed his front abdomen, the sharp blade pierced the skin, and then cut into the muscle, leaving a wound as long as a finger, dripping blood, immediately sprinkled down the wound, and fell onto the dusty ground .

Feeling the severe pain from the abdomen, the death row prisoner roared and activated the skill [Bloodthirsty Rage]
