As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

The cheers gradually died down, Xiaoxuan gently wiped the sweat from Ding Chen's forehead, and the two smiled at each other.

General Lin patted Ding Chen's shoulder proudly and praised: "Good boy, you are as good as men!" Ah Hu scratched his head honestly and said with sincere gratitude: "Thanks to you, otherwise our village would have suffered." The atmosphere was peaceful, as if the previous crisis was just a nightmare.

Everyone packed their bags and prepared to embark on a new journey to help more people in need.

However, when they arrived at the place where the horses were tied, they found that the originally docile horses were now neighing in fear, running around, with broken reins and crooked saddles.

Next to the horse post, the neatly stacked grain bags were torn open, the grain was scattered all over the ground, and was trampled into a mess by the horses' hooves.

The air froze instantly, and everyone's faces became solemn.

This is clearly intentional sabotage!

Could it be that the man in black robe has accomplices?

Ding Chen clenched his fists, a flash of anger in his eyes: "Damn it, there's still a fish that slipped through the net!" Xiaoxuan worriedly grabbed his hand: "Brother Chen, be careful!"

Yingfeng said nothing, squatted down and carefully observed the traces on the ground.

With his sharp eyes, he followed the messy horseshoe prints all the way and finally disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

"I'll go and take a look." Yingfeng said this, and his figure flashed and disappeared in front of everyone.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone waited anxiously.

At this moment, the sound of weapons clashing came from the dense forest, and then several black shadows were thrown out, fell heavily to the ground, and groaned in pain.

Yingfeng emerged from the dense forest, holding several bulging bags in his hands, which were the supplies they had lost.

"It's solved." Ying Feng's tone was calm, as if he had just done something insignificant.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and admired Yingfeng's abilities even more.

General Lin stepped forward, patted Yingfeng on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: ...

General Lin frowned, looking at the scattered food, and said in a deep voice: "It seems we have to go to the nearby town to replenish supplies before making any plans. These horses also need to be relocated." Ah Hu scratched his head anxiously: "General Lin, this will waste time! Maybe there are other villages that need our help right now!"

The two of them each insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Ding Chen looked at Xiaoxuan with a gentle smile on his face: "No matter what decision we make, as long as we are together, there is no hurdle that we cannot overcome." Xiaoxuan leaned gently in Ding Chen's arms, feeling his warmth. The people around them also smiled when they saw their sweet appearance.

This warm scene, like a stream of clear spring, dilutes the tense atmosphere.

At this moment, a noisy sound came from the distance, getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer...

A ragged child stumbled over, pointed into the distance, and said breathlessly, "Qiang... Qiang..."

The ragged child pointed into the distance and gasped out a few words: "The robbers... are coming!"

Before he could finish his words, a group of ferocious bandits emerged from behind the hillside. They were dressed in rags, holding various weapons, and greed gleamed in their eyes.

Seeing that the crowd seemed to be in some confusion and supplies were scattered, they thought they had an opportunity and immediately shouted excitedly.

The bandit leader, a burly man with a face covered in flesh and scars, brandished his broadsword and laughed wildly: "Hahaha! It's like searching for something without any effort, but now it's easy to find! If you know what's good for you, hand over your belongings, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, General Lin roared and rushed out like a tiger descending the mountain.

The long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light and collided with the bandit leader's sword, making a sharp sound of metal clashing.

The bandit leader looked fierce, but he was vulnerable in front of General Lin's superb swordsmanship.

After several rounds, the bandit leader was beaten back step by step and was in a miserable state.

However, the bandits were numerous and they rushed forward and surrounded General Lin.

Although General Lin was a martial arts expert, he gradually felt the strain.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed by and Yingfeng joined the battle.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and the dagger in his hand shuttled through the group of bandits like the scythe of the god of death, reaping lives one after another.

Ah Hu was not willing to be outdone. He roared angrily, and with his strong body like a bull, he knocked several robbers away.

He swung the wooden stick in his hand with great force, beating the bandits around him to a pulp.

The tide of battle began to turn, and at this moment, the white-haired wise man who had been silent suddenly moved.

He muttered something, formed seals with his hands, and a powerful energy surged out of his body.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the robbers were blown to and fro, unable to stand steadily.

Everyone took the opportunity to fight back and subdued the robbers one by one.

After the battle, no one was in a hurry to leave.

Under the guidance of the white-haired wise man, they found the robbers' lair, which was filled with all kinds of supplies, including food, clothing, gold, silver and jewelry.

This not only solved their problem of material shortage, but also brought them additional benefits.

Everyone was ecstatic and admired the white-haired wise man even more.

They reorganized the seized supplies and prepared to embark on a new journey.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became gloomy, with dark clouds and howling winds...

Xiaoxuan looked up at the sky and murmured, "It's going to rain..."
