Chapter 413: Praying Mantis and Titmouse

POSTED ON JUNE 21, 2023 BY KEN

Big Four choked up when he heard Fang Linyan’s implicitly threatening words. He suddenly felt that the Little Qi in front of him had an extraordinarily cold and sharp gaze. He hurriedly apologized with a smile,

“Wait! Wait, I’ll tell. Brother Luo took Zhou Zhuo to Wang Laocai’s house in a neighboring county to collect debts. They owed the escort agency a sum of money for almost half a year.”

Seeing Fang Linyan frown, Big Four immediately said flatteringly,

“If you want to find him, then you can just go to Big Pine River and wait there, because Brother Luo’s engaged woman is selling herbal tea there.”

“Brother Luo wants to drink a bowl when he goes and he will definitely help clean up the stall when he comes back.”

Fang Linyan nodded and said,

“Okay, don’t lie to me.”

Big Four immediately patted his chest and said,

“Why would I? I…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud noise next to him. The window lattice of the firewood room next to him was directly smashed. A person was thrown out amidst the dust.

This person was covered in blood and scars. His right hand was abnormally drooping on the side of his body. It seemed that the hand was dislocated.

After struggling to get up, he looked at them and shouted furiously,

“Big Four, hostiles! Bring the weapons over.”

After the man got up, he roared again and rushed out. However, after rushing for 7 steps, he was knocked flying back again.

A black javelin pierced through his right chest, revealing half of the javelin head on his back.

The escort bodyguard retreated a few steps. His eyes widened with anger. He wanted to reach out to pull out the javelin, but blood was already gushing out of his mouth. He died on the spot.

“Brother Shi!!”

Seeing this scene, Big Four yelled in pain. His facial muscles kept twitching. He threw himself on the escort and cried loudly while hugging him.

At this time, Fang Linyan’s eyes suddenly lit up, because he had already grasped the situation in the yard through the [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] beside him.

A strange array appeared under the feet of the most powerful Liu Huzi.

There were a total of 5 array eyes. Each array eye had a peculiar rune, which emitted a faint blue light

In this array, Liu Huzi was like a trapped beast. He could obviously step out of it, but he decided to turn back.

This should be because those closely involved couldn’t see clearly.

Outsiders looked at the trapped person like a fool.

But in the senses of the trapped person, taking one more step will make him fall into the abyss. This was undoubtedly tantamount to suicide.

However, trapping Liu Huzi didn’t seem to be without cost.

Fang Linyan noticed that in order to trap Liu Huzi, 2 of the 5 array eyes had been dimmed.

Obviously, once all 5 array eyes were dimmed, Liu Huzi would be able to get out.

The purpose of these 3 contractors now was to isolate Liu Huzi from the others first, then they would kill the escort and 3 errand runners who were training along with him.

In fact, their current progress was very smooth. They had successfully eliminated the escort, Brother Shi, and an errand runner.

The remaining errand runner was besieged by the big man Whale and the girl Xiao Wu. There was a long wound on his face, and blood gushed out from it. He looked like he was in a crisis.

At this time, Black Scorpion had already come to the backyard with a javelin.

Fang Linyan’s heart moved. He rushed up to grab Big Four and fled while yelling.

“People are dead! They want to kill us!”

Big Four struggled a bit after being dragged out of the backyard gate. He said angrily,

“Why are you dragging me? I want to avenge Brother Shi!”

Fang Linyan said in shock,

“Aren’t you stupid! Liu Huzi in the front yard was killed by these robbers! What can you do? Wouldn’t you die for nothing?”

When Big Four heard Fang Linyan say this, his heart skipped a beat immediately. He was immediately scared.

In fact, he was originally a lazy and timid guy. If his aunt didn’t have a relationship with Liu Huzi, he would have been driven away by Liu Huzi long ago.

So the anger that surged in Big Four’s heart quickly subsided. He replied without admitting defeat,

“So what!”

However, his body had followed Fang Linyan honestly and fled to the side.

After they escaped for more than 20 meters, Black Scorpion had already appeared outside the backyard door.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Big Four and Fang Linyan. They were still yelling while running. Black Scorpion’s eyes constricted as he immediately chased after them.

In Black Scorpion’s consciousness, these 2 must have called for reinforcements.

So, he took a few steps quickly, adjusted his rhythm, and threw the javelin in his hand.

When he threw the javelin, he originally wanted to aim at Xiaoqi who was the fastest.

But his figure often overlapped with Big Four behind him, so in the end, Black Scorpion chose the errand runner just to be safe.

The black javelin shot out and pierced Big Four’s right thigh.

The huge force made Big Four lose his balance. He bumped into the fence beside.

Big Four let out a scream. Fear had already occupied his whole body and mind. Even though he fell to the ground, he still wanted to stand up and continue to escape.

At this time, he saw Fang Xiaoqi rushing up with great loyalty and dragging him into the house beside. At this moment, his desire to survive broke out, forcing him to run with all his strength.

After entering the room, they panicked like stray dogs. After looking around for a while, they fled toward the stairs and went upstairs.

Unexpectedly, when Big Four was halfway through the stairs, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his waist. He rolled down dizzily.

He turned around suddenly, only to realize that he was dragged off by Fang Xiaoqi!

It seemed that Fang Xiaoqi was panicked to the extreme. He wanted to climb up the stairs before him.

Big Four was about to scold Fang Xiaoqi, but his head hit the handrail hard. He suddenly felt dizzy.

When he woke up from it, he found that the terrifying enemy had already rushed to his face and stabbed him with a javelin.

There was a saying that even a rabbit will bite when is it cornered.

In desperation, Big Four pulled out the dagger strapped on his leng and parried the enemy’s stab, then he lifted his spirit to deal with the opponent.

At this time, Big Four finally began to understand how useful the basic kung fu that Li Huzi usually forced himself to do was!

If time goes back, I will finish all the things Liu Huzi asked for like Brother Shi! No, I will do more practice.

However, there were many things that couldn’t be regretted in this world.

After only persisting for 3 rounds, Big Four felt out of breath and dizzy. His legs were as heavy as lead.

Especially the place where the right thigh was stabbed was completely numb.

At this time, he already knew that he would probably die, so his eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness. He threw his chest into the opponent’s javelin.

When the blood splashed, Big Four turned his wrist and took out an inconspicuous small iron cylinder from his sleeve.

Then he pressed it toward Black Scorpion.

Immediately, 8 poison needles in the small iron cylinder were shot out instantly. All of them hit Black Scorpion.

Although Big Four usually liked to slack off, he also made a lot of friends.

He knew that it would be dangerous for him to escort outside, so he had to have a life-saving means. 2 months ago, he got himself this poison needle hidden weapon 2 months ago.

Although the escort was far, there was no danger. The poison needle hidden weapon was kept until today. It unexpectedly came in handy today.

“Damn it… this little bug actually has such a move!”

Black Scorpion, who had been hit by these poison needles, was so angry that his eyes turned black.

He was really careless when facing Big Four, because he used [Reconnaissance] skill to scan everyone in the yard before.

That Xiaoqi was the weakest, just an ordinary villager.

This errand runner Big Four was second to Xiaoqi. He was worse than the other errand runners, and he didn’t have any special skill.

But who would have thought that he would carry such a vicious item on him?

Nevermind the 1/3HP that was lost, but the following prompt really disgusted him,

“Contractor XXXXX, you are attacked by the Tang Family’s poison needles. You are affected by the corpse poison.”

“Without detoxification method, the corpse poison will last in your body for 7 days.”

“During this period, your self-healing ability will disappear. The health regeneration effect you get under any circumstances will be halved.”

Black Scorpion let out a roar with endless anger. He kicked Big Four hard on the chest and kicked him away.

When he kicked Big Four, he suddenly noticed that Big Four had a very strange expression. The focus of his eyes was actually looking behind him…

Black Scorpion sneered. This trick can only work on an 8 years old child…

However, less than half a second after this idea surfaced to him, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his back!

It was a feeling of flesh being cut and torn!

He tried his best to turn his body around, only to realize that an extremely ferocious strange wolf had pounced on him, biting his neck from the back.

At the same time, a crow charged from the window beside. Its sharp beak and claws were also tearing his flesh.

Not only that, but a person rushed forward with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

That person turned out to be Xiaoqi whom he thought was an aborigine!

“How is this possible!” Black Scorpion was shocked.
