Chapter 26: The Story of Destroying Bandits – The Camp Panic

“ They have it much better than I do. When they attack, they face at most one bandit group. What is this Flying Bear Mountain? It is crawling with bandits everywhere.”

“By the way, to cause me trouble, the Intellect Brain gathered so many bandits here. Doesn’t that mean there are probably no bandits around the nearby Territories?”

Thinking of this possibility, Mo Xiaobai suddenly felt like laughing and crying at the same time. He was completely acting as a shield for others, and that too without any credit.

However, Mo Xiaobai soon had no time to think about these things. Because at that very moment, a loud commotion suddenly spread from the entrance of the Flying Bear Mountain stronghold.

“My Lord, there is movement.”

Ma Laoliu had been following Mo Xiaobai closely. Seeing a bandit with a missing hand being led into the stronghold by other bandits at the gate, he immediately became alert.

“Go, let’s follow and see.”

Mo Xiaobai said softly and followed the pace of these bandits.

A noisy crowd rushed to the Council Hall. When several leaders inside heard the noise and came out frowning, one of them suddenly changed color:

“Zhang Matou, what happened to you?”

“Chief, I finally found you. Our Monkey Mountain was ambushed, and the Stone Stele was even smashed.” The man with one arm ran forward, knelt, and cried out as soon as he saw his leader: “Everyone is dead. Those who weren’t dead ran away. I was kicked off the mountain and barely kept my life.”

“What did you say?”

Hearing this, the Monkey Mountain Chief’s already ugly face turned green and then white in quick succession. He felt dizzy, and the world seemed to spin around him.

A Territory is the foundation of a Lord, and a bandit stronghold is the den of bandits. If their den was destroyed, could a leader still stand?

After finally stabilizing himself, the Monkey Mountain Chief bit his teeth and roared four words:

“Who did this?”

“It is, it is the Tiger Head Stronghold. Yes, that Tiger Head Stronghold. That is exactly what their leader said.”

As soon as the one-armed bandit spoke, all the leaders standing in front of him turned to look at Tiger Lord. Tiger Lord, who had been watching from the side like a spectator, now also had a face full of shock.

The next moment, Tiger Lord felt something was wrong and immediately shouted: “Impossible! My people are all brought here. Are you all blind?”

Tiger Lord’s words made sense. The Monkey Mountain Chief did not know what was true or false at the moment, so he could only ask his subordinate again: “Tell me exactly what happened, Zhang Matou, tell me the truth.”

“I am telling the truth. There were only about a dozen of them, but every single one of them was a killer. The leader was the most vicious. Yes, yes, that person had a blue mark on his forehead and a big mole on his chin. I saw it very clearly.”

Zhang Matou racked his brains and finally remembered some useful information. After he finished speaking these words, Tiger Lord’s whole face turned green with anger.

A blue mark on the forehead and a mole on the chin? Was he talking about the timid Niu Wa from his own Tiger Head Stronghold?

Tiger Lord’s face changed expressions. The other leaders saw it all. The Monkey Mountain Chief even glared at him angrily: “What Zhang Matou said, are those your people?”

“No!” Tiger Lord did not understand what was happening, but he knew he absolutely could not admit it now.

“Still making excuses? You, you! I will kill you first to avenge the old and young in my village!” The Monkey Mountain Chief was so angry he was almost choked. Seeing Tiger Lord clearly deny it, he drew the wide knife from his waist.

However, before he could move again, a few others beside him rushed to hold him back first. The Flying Bear Mountain Chief even spoke to advise: “Do not fight, do not fight. We do not know if this is true or false. Do not act on impulse.”

“Why distinguish between true or false? Clearly, while I was not in my stronghold, he came up with an ambush plan. He even wanted to deny his connection! I absolutely will not agree.”

“You only heard one side of the story. How can you be sure it was Tiger Lord who did it?” The Flying Bear Mountain Chief frowned and said right away: “Do not forget we have a big matter to handle. If we delay this big matter, everyone will look bad. Let me send a few smart ones to investigate first. After we crush the Daming Village tomorrow, we will deal with the matter between you two. How does that sound?”

“By then, if the confirmed news returns and it really was Tiger Lord who stabbed us in the back, the four of us will uphold justice for you.”

“This is only right. You two, do not fight for now.”

“Since Tiger Lord came, I am sure he would not put himself in a dead end. This matter might just be a misunderstanding.”

The other leaders spoke one after another. Although the Monkey Mountain Chief was extremely angry, he was outnumbered and could only grit his teeth to swallow his anger.

“I will wait until tonight. Let’s see how you explain yourself tomorrow!”

Leaving this sentence, the Monkey Mountain Chief “clanged” his knife back into its sheath, helped Zhang Matou up, and walked out quickly.

At this moment, Tiger Lord’s face was equally not good. He suddenly felt a bit regretful, regretting that he should not have come to Flying Bear Mountain to meddle in things.

But now it was too late. Even if he wanted to leave, he could not go now.

Watching this good show from among the bandits, the smile in Mo Xiaobai’s eyes became even thicker. Things on Li Ji’s side seemed to be going very smoothly. He could now implement the final step of his plan as scheduled.

“Old Six, after the Chou Hour passes, it will be our turn to make an entrance.”

“My Lord, just watch us. Creating chaos and fanning the flames is our specialty.”

Ma Laoliu smiled broadly. In a straight-up fight, he could not even handle Lady Dong. But when it came to causing confusion in the middle of the night, he considered himself an expert.

Simply put, Ma Laoliu had been developing “cunningly” since he was a child.

Time passed, minute by minute.

Although the farce at nightfall did not cause any changes, many bandits now had a knot in their hearts. They had extreme caution towards each other.

And this caution and distrust were the result of Mo Xiaobai and Li Ji plotting together.

When a crescent moon hung high in the sky, even the noisiest bandits started dozing off. As time gradually crossed the Zi Hour and Chou Hour, it was exactly the time when people sleep the deepest.

Silent Flying Bear Mountain, at this moment, only had snores rising one after another.

But hidden under these snores, seven or eight sets of light footsteps were gradually scattering. One of the figures was white and clean. Who else but Mo Xiaobai?

He casually took a piece of cloth and covered his face. Mo Xiaobai walked into the middle of a group of Tiger Head Stronghold bandits who were slumbering in awkward positions. The first person he saw was a thug sleeping soundly while hugging his own sword.

“Now, it is time to take back my big sword.”

Mumbling these words at the corner of his mouth, Mo Xiaobai snatched the iron sword. He drew it out and struck immediately. He did not give the opponent a chance to shout for help; the blade slashed directly across the throat.

One, two, three. When Mo Xiaobai had killed five bandits in one breath, someone beside him was finally awakened by his actions.

“You!”

“I am here to avenge my lover in my village!”

Mo Xiaobai shouted loudly and struck again with the sword. The panicked bandit dodged in panic. Although he avoided the fatal blow, his right arm was cut by Mo Xiaobai, creating a wound an inch deep.

The bandit who luckily escaped death did not care about his arm injury at all. He screamed at the top of his lungs: “Help! Help! People, help! The Monkey Mountain people are attacking!”

This shout was enough to set off a bomb of panic around them.

The bandits who were sleeping so soundly suddenly woke up and saw a masked person killing their brothers.

How dare he?

Pick up your weapons, attack together!

“Come on! You dirty cowards of the Tiger Head Stronghold, come kill me!”

Mo Xiaobai swung a sword once and immediately retreated. He retreated while luring the Tiger Head Stronghold bandits to chase him.

On the other side, the Monkey Mountain bandits received the same treatment. Under the lure of another masked man, they also ran out of their sleeping ground.

Then, the two groups of bandits met “by chance.”

“Kill!”

“Kill them! Avenge the women in our village!”

“Kill all these Monkey Mountain people. They have bullied us too much.”

“Kill!”

Nearly two hundred people started fighting each other without any warning. The commotion quickly awakened the other bandits nearby. While they looked confused, huge balls of fire erupted from several directions at the north and south of the stronghold.

“Fire! There is fire!”

“Stop sleeping! Wake up quickly! The mountain is on fire!”

“Quickly, quickly, get out!”
