The words of the robber driving the carriage immediately aroused Hood's vigilance.
Hood subconsciously looked around, but he did not find any suspicious people except the passers-by.
"Could it be that we are too nervous?" Another robber scratched his head, trying to comfort himself and his companions.
But Hood did not dare to take it lightly. After all, they had just arrived in this town for less than a day, and it was normal for someone to covet them, the outsiders.
He held the hilt of the dagger at his waist, staring at the surrounding roads, alert to possible dangers.
"No matter what, we can't let our guard down!" Hood reminded, and urged the robber driving the carriage to speed up the mule cart, hoping to leave here as soon as possible and return to the tavern.
However, at this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the alley in front.
Hood's heart sank suddenly, and he immediately asked the robber to stop the mule cart, and signaled a robber to check ahead.
The robber drew out the dagger he carried with him, and walked cautiously into the alley, ignoring the strange looks from passers-by. When he reached the edge of the alley, he stuck his head out and looked around. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the alley except for the residents passing by, he immediately returned to Huo De and whispered, "Boss, I didn't find anything."
"Be careful..." Huo De replied in a low voice, and then his eyes were still full of vigilance.
Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be a black shadow flashing under a tree on the side of the road.
"Over there!" Huo De pointed to the direction where the black shadow disappeared and shouted loudly.
The two robbers looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that there was nothing under the big tree.
"Is it really just our illusion?" The robber driving the carriage asked doubtfully.
"No, I'm sure there was a figure there just now!" Huo De answered firmly. He was definitely not wrong. There was indeed someone staring at them under the tree just now.
"We must leave here as soon as possible and return to the tavern." Hod said solemnly, holding the hilt of the sword.
The two robbers nodded immediately after hearing this.
The three people and the car sped up their progress, and pedestrians on the road avoided them one after another. Some people even shouted at Hod and his three men as they left.
However, just as Hod and his men were about to pass through the alley in front, a passerby in a hurry suddenly rushed out of the alley.
Due to Hod's previous reminder, the two robbers had been in a state of high tension. Faced with this sudden change, the robber driving the car had no time to react. He could only watch the mule cart hit the pedestrian directly. The collision between the mule cart and the pedestrian made a dull sound, and then the man was knocked to the ground.
"Ouch... my leg..."
A scream sounded in front of the mule cart. Hod looked up and saw that the pedestrian who was knocked down was lying on the ground in front of the mule cart, holding his right leg, wailing in pain.
A flash of surprise flashed across Huo De's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and hurriedly walked forward to check the situation.
When he got closer, he saw that the injured pedestrian was a young man wearing a black waistcoat and holding his right leg.
"Are you okay?" Huo De asked with concern, with a hint of apology in his tone.
"Don't you have eyes? Do I look okay like this? Ouch... my leg..." The man looked up and glared at Huo De, then lowered his head, tightly grasped his leg, and kept groaning.
The man's voice attracted the attention of many pedestrians around. They stopped and gathered around curiously, pointing and whispering at Huo De and the other two.
Huo De frowned and complained in his heart. He just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible, but he accidentally injured someone. Now things have become more difficult.
"I'm sorry, we just encountered some urgent matters and couldn't control the speed of the mule cart for a while..."
While explaining, Hod bent down and wanted to check the man's injuries. If the injuries were not serious, he might be able to deal with them simply, but if they were serious, he would have to ask a robber to take him to the hospital for treatment.
"Ouch... my leg... my leg is going to break..."
The man suddenly let go of his hand holding his thigh, grabbed Hod's calf, and shouted loudly to the crowd.
At this time, eight or nine men in black robes walked out of the crowd. With their appearance, the pedestrians who were watching the excitement immediately lowered their heads and left here in panic.
Hod narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene, and the two robbers also came to his side and looked at these people vigilantly.
"Hey, man, are you okay..."
A man with a scar on his face walked quickly to the injured man, glanced at Hod beside him, and pretended to be very surprised.He shouted in surprise.
Without waiting for the injured man to reply, the scarred man turned around and looked at Hod and the other two, questioning: "You bunch of outsiders, did you hit my brother like this..."
"Poor little Jack, how are you going to live in the future..." After saying that, the scarred man lowered his head and glanced at the injured man, pretending to be concerned.
"Pay money..."
"Let these outsiders pay money..."
"Yes, they won't let them go without paying..."
"Seize their mule cart..."
Suddenly, the men who came with the scarred man shouted loudly.
Seeing this scene, Hod suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind...
Damn, did he encounter a scammer?
Sure enough, the next moment two men walked quickly to the mule cart full of food, stretched out their hands to pull it, in case Hod and the others escaped.
"What do you want to do!"
A robber saw this and immediately drew out the dagger from his waist and rushed towards the two men aggressively. However, his action triggered a series of unexpected chain reactions.
Seeing their accomplices being threatened by the robbers with swords, the men quickly took out daggers, daggers and other weapons from under their robes and instantly blocked the robbers' way.
Seeing this, Hood and another robber driving a carriage also drew out their daggers without hesitation, quickly stepped forward to support, and formed a confrontation with the group of people.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even the man who was hit was staring at this scene in a daze, not daring to speak.
"Tap tap..."
"Tap tap..."
At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the alley again. Hood turned his head slightly and saw more than a dozen men holding swords, sticks and clubs opening the doors of the houses on both sides of the alley and running over.
"You bunch of outsiders, why don't you put down your weapons quickly..."
As this group of people came, the scarred man suddenly became arrogant, pointing at Hod and the other two and cursing: "A bunch of outsiders, you dare to point weapons at me, Scar Luger, you really don't want to live."
"You make such a big noise, aren't you afraid of the guards in the town?" Hod held the dagger and questioned loudly.
"Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
"These outsiders, I'm afraid they don't know that our boss's brother is the captain of the town..."
"Boss, he asked if you are afraid of the town guards..."
As soon as Hod's words came out, the group of men with weapons burst into laughter, and even the scarred man showed a disdainful expression on his face.
"Boy, I tell you, today either you leave this mule cart and all the valuables on your body, or you leave your life!" The scarred man said with a ferocious face.
Huo De instantly raised the short sword in his hand, looked at the group of thugs and said angrily: "You are not just trying to hit someone, are you planning to rob them?"
"Haha, so what if I rob you? You are a foreigner, this is not a place for you to run wild!" The scarred man said proudly.
"Boss, why waste time talking to them, just kill them!" A man said impatiently.
"Yes, kill them and take away all their stuff!" The other men also echoed.
A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the scarred man, and he sneered: "Okay, if that's the case, don't blame me for being rude! Come on!"
After that, the scarred man waved the short sword in his hand and rushed towards Huo De and his thugs.
"Wait!"
Looking at the large number of thugs, Hood hurriedly shouted and stretched out his hand to signal them to stop. He glanced at the fierce-eyed town thugs, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "These two cars and things are for you, let us go."
"Hahaha... kid, are you scared..." Scar Luger laughed wildly, then pointed at Hood with a dagger and said loudly: "Hand over all the money on you, otherwise, you will stay here today."
"Okay."
Hood didn't waste any words, and directly materialized 5 silver deer from his backpack and put them on the mule cart.
"Hahaha, get out, Master Luger let you go today." Scar Luger laughed when he saw Hood's submissive behavior.
"Let's go..."
Hearing what the other party said, Hood turned around and ran towards the tavern with two angry robbers, and the thugs' triumphant laughter came from behind.
"Boss?"
The two robbers ran while looking at Hood in confusion.
"Let's go back to the tavern first. If they dare to steal my things, I will make them live to steal but not to spend them..." Hood glanced back at the thugs, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
