Mortal Bones

The reason why Xu Taiping was so restrained was that he didn't rush out to save the young man.

It was not because he was afraid of being expelled from the Xuanhuang Tower, but because he had understood that if he could not enter the Xuanhuang Tower again for three years, Mr. Zhang, Zhai Mo and others would definitely be poisoned by Jiuyuan.

But these people are different from the people whose souls have transformed in the Xuanhuang Tower. If they die, they are really dead.

"Dahei, let's go!..."

At this time, after Na Ayu looked at the three bandits, he suddenly hugged the big black dog's neck tightly and hung his whole body on the big black dog.

The big black dog understood immediately, and with a "whoop" sound, he turned around and jumped down the hillside with Ayu, landing very nimbly on a trail at the bottom of the hillside.

"call……"

Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief.

The little guy was not intimidated by the three bandits, but took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain and decisively chose to escape.

Regardless of whether you can escape in the end, you can at least buy some time.

"Big black!"

But just when Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief, there was a sound of beasts biting and the terrified screams of young Ayu coming from the bottom of the mountain.

Not long after, there was just a "swish" sound, and a leopard that was eight or nine feet tall jumped up the hillside with a big black dog in its mouth.

And sitting on the leopard's back was a bald man with half of his face covered in tattoos.

And Ayu was clamped by the man's arms.

"Hmm..."

Ayu's mouth was blocked by a piece of rag, unable to speak and could only keep struggling.

"Second brother!"

The three bandits were all overjoyed when they saw the person coming, and they all rushed forward.

"boom!"

The bandit called Er Ge threw Ayu to the ground and jumped off the leopard's back.

"If you can't stand a little guy, what's the use of raising the three of you in the village?"

The bald bandit rolled his eyes at the three of them.

"Second brother, I'm planning to shoot this guy in the head with an arrow. He can't escape far."

A bandit holding a crossbow smiled.

"Don't kill this kid to keep him useful."

The bald bandit waved his hand, then glanced at the village below that had lights on, and then cast his gaze in the direction of the back door of the village and said:

"Although the guards at the back gate of Jinding Village are not that strict, if the guards in the village are alerted, we are no match for them."

"Not to mention opening the front door of Jinding Village for Big Brother and the others, I'm afraid it will scare the snake and make our half-year planning fail."

Upon hearing this, the bandit holding the crossbow immediately put away the crossbow.

"Brother, do you want this kid to lead the way for us?"

Another bandit suddenly asked curiously.

"Don't even think about it!"

Before the bald bandit could answer, the young man Ayu shouted angrily.

Just now, he used a stone on the ground to rub away the cloth stuffed in his mouth.

"You shouted so loud on purpose to alert you villagers?"

The bald bandit stepped forward and kicked Ayu.

"It's useless no matter how loud you shout. We all carry talismans that can block sound. We got them from those foreigners at a high price."

The bandit holding the crossbow took out a talisman and shook it.

Seeing this talisman, a look of despair suddenly flashed in Ayu's eyes.

Although he is not very old, he often hears the elders in the village talk about the activities of the bandits in Qinghu Village and the legendary supernatural powers of the strangers.

So he knew very well that he would most likely not be able to escape this time.

"Ouch!"

At this moment, the big black dog that was originally held in the leopard's mouth was suddenly thrown down by the leopard and stepped on under its paws.

"Big black!"

After hearing the scream, Ayu immediately looked at the big black dog nervously.

"Uh-huh!"

But just as he spoke, he saw the bald bandit slashing the big black dog's thigh with his knife, causing the big black dog to let out a shrill scream again.

"You evil thieves, let Dahei go, let Dahei go!"

Ayu, who was pinned to the ground with his knees by a bandit, looked at Dahei's painful appearance and immediately started crying angrily.

"Little guy, this big black dog just saved your life. You don't want it to die in such pain, right?"

The bald bandit put his foot wearing animal skin boots on the big black dog's wound, and kept pinching it with the soles of his feet, causing the big black dog to keep moaning in pain.

This scene made Ayu burst into tears.

He is only a boy of eight or nine years old. Even though he has read some books, his mind is far from as strong as that of an adult.

"I ask you again, are you willing to take us into the village?"

The bald bandit seemed to feel that the time was ripe. He immediately pressed the knife in his hand against the big black dog's belly and looked at Ayu with a half-smile.

"Little guy, if my second brother cuts this big black dog of yours, even his intestines will flow out."

Another bandit also smiled and threatened.

Although Ayu couldn't cry, she still shook her head vigorously and said:

"No, don't even think about it!"

Ayu knew very well what consequences would be brought to the village after bringing these people into the village.

When the bald bandit heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he snorted coldly:

"Little guy, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

As he said that, he picked up the knife again and prepared to chop at the big black dog.

But at this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from the foot of Jinding Mountain——

"Ayu!"

"Ayu, are you on the mountain?"

Hearing this voice, Ayu's pupils suddenly dilated, and a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.

Because the person who called him at the foot of the mountain was his mother.

"Mom, don't come up!"

Ayu immediately yelled at the top of his voice.

But his voice was only a few meters away, and was blocked by the talismans on the bandits, making it smaller than the sound of mosquitoes.

"Bang!"

At this time, the bandit holding the crossbow kicked Ayu again, and then looked at the bald bandit behind him with a smile on his face and laughed:

"Second brother, this kid's mother will definitely come up the mountain to find him later. When the time comes, we will use this kid to threaten his mother. I don't believe his mother will not obey!"

"Keep an eye on this kid."

The bald bandit nodded.

It was obvious that he was planning to do so.
