If I let you become a druid, would you join the Demon Sect?

Chapter 23 You made the first move
Under the moonlight.

A figure like a ghost was moving among the mountains.

The figure was Gu Yan.

According to the information he got, he used the "Golden Swallow Skill" he had just learned to hurry on his way.

It was a bit awkward at the beginning.

After he became familiar with the rhythm of force conversion, his speed became faster and faster.

At the end.

He could already ignore some steep terrains and move freely among the mountains on both sides, stepping on trees and water. Except for the lack of the light and agile feeling of flying, he already had some of the charm of the knights who flew over eaves and walls in the martial arts movies of his previous life.

People who have not experienced this feeling cannot imagine the extraordinary sense of pleasure that transcends oneself.

Travel all the way.

When Gu Yan just felt his body getting a little hot, he had already arrived at Baihujian, more than 70 kilometers away from the dock by water.

Baihujian is a place where several rivers converge, located between several continuous green mountains and steep cliffs, with a unique terrain.

After Gu Yan arrived here, he didn't feel that there was anything special about it. It was just a confluence of rivers connecting several waterways, and the middle was cut by several flaky rocks.

There seem to be many undercurrent whirlpools under your feet.

"According to what the merchant said, the several waterways of Baihujian connect to a lake and swamp stretching two to three hundred kilometers. Mountains and rivers are intertwined, and there are numerous inlets and tributaries. When the water is shallow, it's only three or four meters deep, but during the flood season, it becomes a vast ocean. Furthermore, due to the terrain, it's difficult to travel by water and difficult to cross by land. The bandits there are adept at using basin boats. When they gather together, they become bandits, but when they disperse, they fall into the mountains, swamps, and reed marshes, making them difficult to surround and kill."

Gu Yan touched his chin.

This terrain is difficult for farming, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is a natural bandit's den.

In addition, this area is full of undercurrents and whirlpools at the bottom of the water. The river surface seems vast, but in fact there are only a few fixed areas where people can pass safely.

Just a few small boats filled with kerosene can easily threaten those bulky merchant ships and cargo ships.

No wonder those businessmen are willing to pay protection fees honestly.

Gu Yan looked at the stars in the sky, and after determining the direction, he jumped directly off the cliff on the top of the mountain which was dozens of meters high. His body fell towards the water below like a meteorite.

It was about to hit the water.

He opened his arms, and a large amount of energy surged out of his body, connecting his arms and turning into a simple paraglider. It carried Gu Yan's figure in an arc in the air and finally landed steadily on the river.

For convenience.

Gu Yan deliberately didn't wear shoes this time.

The calf fell into the water.

His feet sensed the changes in the water flow, and the strength on the surface of his skin was drawn along with the flow, supporting his body to rise up little by little, until he was almost completely on the water surface, with only the instep of his feet submerged.

This is not a light skill, but a high-end skill of using strength, similar to the more advanced method of treading water. Only people with strength throughout their body can do it easily.

Wait until you get used to this feeling.

Gu Yan then ran towards the hill where the Blood Oath Alliance was located, facing the moonlight.

There are a total of eighteen different forces of varying sizes in Baihu Gorge, also known as the Eighteen Water Generals, who belong to a water bandit alliance.

The Blood-Swearing Army is the nineteenth force in Baihujian and the most special one.

This group of people were originally bandits. They were surrounded and fled to Baihujian.

Because I arrived last.

The hill where this group of people were located was also in a relatively bad location, not far from Baihu Gorge, and served as a bridgehead for the bandits inside.

This also made it convenient for Gu Yan.

It takes about two incense sticks of time.

Large stretches of reed marshes appeared before Gu Yan's eyes.

He knew he was almost there.

After walking another seven or eight miles.

The flicker of fire finally appeared in his sight.

Arrived.

This is a small island surrounded by water on all sides. There is a half-peak on it, which is shaped like a triangular slide and extends all the way to the water's edge where reeds grow around it.

There is a wooden watchtower on the waterside.

There is a watchtower on each side, with several conspicuous bonfires in the middle to illuminate the area that is convenient for landing, so as to prevent the officers and soldiers from sneaking onto the shore and surrounding them at night.

Gu Yan glanced around and nodded: "This place is nice, with beautiful mountains and clear water, suitable for burial."

He came to the shore carelessly, thinking that someone would warn him, but there was no movement for a long time.

Without any choice.

He jumped twice and reached the top of the watchtower which was more than ten meters high. He kicked the bandit who was sleeping soundly inside: "Hey, hey, still sleeping? I'm here to get you! Wake up."

The bandit who was on guard at night opened his eyes sleepily, looked at Gu Yan, nodded, and then skillfully handed a horn in his hand to Gu Yan. Then, he yawned, threw down the ladder beside him, and went back to sleep.

Ok?
Soft ladder?

The bandit's hazy eyes gradually came into focus. He looked at the ladder in his hand, then turned back to look at Gu Yan, who was wearing a dark blue nightgown, his head still covered, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Finally, he realized that something was wrong.

The night watchman asked in a trembling voice, "How did you get up here?"

While speaking, the bandit kept touching his body.

"Of course I jumped up."

Gu Yan handed the horn over considerately: "Are you looking for this?"

The bandit's eyes widened. Seeing that Gu Yan did not make any extra moves, he quickly snatched the horn, put it to his lips, and then admonished:

"My dear fellow, this horn is specially made. Once blown, the sound can be heard for miles.

Opposite me, there is another watchtower.

There is also a horn like this on it.

You'd better leave quickly!

Our chief is bloodthirsty and loves to cook one-month-old babies raw as a snack.

The second leader was extremely skilled in wielding a scalpel and loved to cut the husbands and children of women into pieces in front of them.

The third leader is even more perverted.

He likes strong and sturdy heroes with heroic temperaments, like you. Once caught, you will be tortured day and night, and your life will be worse than death."

Gu Yan:
No, why do you talk so much?
If I hadn't let you make the first move, I would have slapped you to death long ago!!!

He crossed his arms speechlessly, "So, this is how you keep watch?"

Gu Yan was speechless, and the bandits were even more speechless.

He immediately knelt down and said, "Sir, I kowtow to you. You'd better leave. You don't understand. The Blood Oath Army is a bunch of inhumane lunatics. Even if you are wise and powerful, two fists cannot beat four hands. Even if you are made of iron, how many nails can you hammer? It's better to keep your body useful and bring more people back in the future."

The bandits were really anxious.

The man in the nightgown in front of me, no matter whether I can do it or not, it would be easy to kill him, a small shrimp.

How much money do you earn per month?
What are you risking your life for?

We can't just leave it alone.

What he said before was true. The people of the Blood Oath Army, including him, were inhumane. Once the leader discovered that someone had invaded, he and the unlucky guy in the other sentry tower would not know how they died.

Death is everywhere.

The best outcome would be that the person in front of him would be persuaded by him and leave on his own.

Then pretend nothing happened tonight.

As for whether this person will come next time, it is none of his business.

Today the disaster is over.

He used all his wealth to bribe the leader and never came to guard the tower again!
Seeing the bandit's cowardly look, Gu Yan sighed and said, "That won't work. I traveled hundreds of miles by mountain and water roads overnight to find this place. Now that I'm here, there's no way I can go back. The worst that can happen is that I'll stay here with you. When daybreak comes, I'll say you were the one who let me out."

The bandit finally broke down.

He threw away the horn in his hand and yelled at Gu Yan: "Fuck you mad dog, I'm going to kill you!"

A flash of cold light flashed and pierced Gu Yan's heart in the left chest fiercely.

This bandit actually has the skill of stabbing with a dagger.

Accompanied by a clanging sound like metal colliding.

The ferocious expression on the bandit's face froze.

bingo.

But not all of them were correct.

The tip of the dagger was wrapped in an invisible energy, making it difficult for him to advance even if he tried with all his strength.

He looked up at Gu Yan blankly, and was about to beg for mercy, but met Gu Yan's slightly shining eyes.

Is this exciting?
"Finally started!"

"You were the one who started it!"

Gu Yan grinned, no longer suppressing the malice in his heart.

Boom~
The strong wind exploded.

An immensely explosive force struck the bandit's face, shaking his entire upper body into a ball of bloody mist.

Gu Yan retracted his hand and silently said in his heart: Capture the soul!

A milky white spirit suddenly turned into a stream of light and shot into his brow.

Let’s kill!

Gu Yan's figure flashed, like a human flea, and he instantly crossed a distance of seven or eight feet and appeared on another watchtower.

The bandits on guard in the watchtower had been awakened by the noise just now.

Just as he was about to pick up the horn, a hand descended from the sky, covering his entire field of vision.
