The fat man's face suddenly became strange, "Little brother, are you going to take this path?"

"Well, I'm in a hurry and I can't take some risks."

"Uh, little brother, don't blame me for saying depressed words. I don't completely believe the rumors. I have walked that path before. There are so many strange things. That happened again in the past two years. Those who want to take the nearest path only enter and leave. This is absolutely true. Think about it carefully. If it is not too urgent, it is really not worth taking that risk." The fat man reminded him seriously, without any silence.

But Old Pan around him changed his expression. He half-tilted his body and began to cough violently, immediately touching his broken ribs, and suddenly bared his teeth in pain.

Li Tianchou watched coldly, and did not pay attention to the other party. Instead, he smiled and said to the middle-aged fat man: "Thank you for the reminder, but I am really in a hurry, so there is no need to persuade me anymore. Of course, if you don't want to, I naturally can't force it. I'll take us to the entrance of the road, which is also a big help."

"What's this? I, Gong San, are definitely not a person who is afraid of death. If my benefactor insists on going, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you on this trip."

Fatty Gong San's words were decisive and very righteous, which made Li Tianchou feel interesting. Such people were either sincere or had bad intentions to play, but now is not the time to distinguish, and there were opportunities along the way, and it was also lively with two such unsimple people around him. He did not refuse in a hypocritical manner, but nodded and asked about the distance between the path again.

"It's not far, less than twenty miles away. Follow this ravine and go down to the depression, turn left, walk half a mile and then right, and walk forward to reach the forest, but it's probably difficult to find at the entrance, after all, no one has walked through it for a long time."

"It doesn't matter. Just know the approximate direction. Now I'm about to stop. I'll fix the bones for Lao Pan and let's get on the road right away." The fat man was so happy, Li Tianchou was happy, and as he spoke, he stood up, but soon crawled on the ground again.

Gong San was not surprised by Li Tianchou's sudden and strange behavior, because he also noticed the abnormality and quickly turned over and squatted down, hiding behind the rock.

A very slight abnormal sound came from the above the ravine, which was on the slope where Li Tianchou and the other two fell down. Although the sound was erratic, it was not the mountain wind or other movements under the natural state, like a situation where people or animals trampled in the mud, but tried their best to suppress it.

The situation was not good. It seemed that the three people were hiding in the hiding position had been exposed. Both humans and animals were trying to approach them patiently. What's worse is that the visitor was condescending, which was very unfavorable to Li Tianchou and the other two.

Li Tianchou made a gesture to the fat man. The two of them worked together to move Pan Lao Chao under the rock, trying to avoid the other party's downward angle, and then threw the hatchet to Gong San, and explained, "Stay here and don't move, I'll go around and take a look." Then they drilled into a bush of low shrubs not far away with them.

Li Tianchou undoubtedly handed his back to Gong San. It seemed like a helpless move, but he was not worried that when the danger was not lifted, the other party would never dare to hurt people suddenly, and could also use this emergency to observe this person secretly.

Li Tianchou had no sense of trust in Gong San. After only a few hours of contact, he felt more and more mysterious. On the way, he deliberately avoided talking to the other party, and never even asked about Gong San's origin. Gong San seemed rough, but in fact he was very good at observing his expressions and expressions. He rarely spoke on his own initiative, nor did he ask about the identity of Li Tianchou and the other two. The three of them walked together dozens of miles of mountain road, which was very tacit understanding. This was a very strange phenomenon.

The most abnormal behavior was Mr. Pan. Since he was rescued from the iron cage by Li Tianchou, he has basically become mute. Except for the pain in the wound, it is rare to speak.

Li Tianchou knew the mentality of Lao Pan at this moment best. He changed from a hunter to a prey, and then from a prey to a waste. Such a cowardly thing was very upset. But under this situation, the prey did not do anything to him, and did not abandon him when he became a waste. What does this mean? The old man couldn't figure it out and did not dare to speak rashly.

In addition, Lao Pan seemed to be very curious about Mercury San. The strange look at the other party had an indescribable smell. Li Tianchou even suspected that the two knew each other before, but interestingly, this situation could not be captured on Gong San's face.

The sounds on the hillside were not as frequent and dense as before. Maybe the other party realized something and acted more cautiously, or maybe they wanted to hide their whereabouts by the sound of mountain wind and swaying plants. Based on this alone, Li Tianchou judged that the other party was a human, not an animal, or more likely to be the pursuers of the armed groups in the valley.

The bottom of the slope is ten meters away on the left side of the bush. There is no obstruction at this distance. If you want to touch it without being noticed, you must turn around and take a further road. Li Tianchou tried several times but could not judge the number of people based on his hearing. He had to decide to take a detour. He was at a disadvantage in his position. No matter how stupid he waited for the other party, he completely lost his initiative. This was not his style.

As for how Mercury San dealt with it on the front, whether she could hold back and hold it down, Li Tianchou had no time to take care of it. The bushes shook lightly, and a figure crawled out quickly. Except for some strong wind, without any other sound, it blinked over the rock where Gong San and his two men were hiding, and drilled into the dense jungle behind it.

Li Tianchou's movements were almost at its peak. Gong San realized that he could see the shaking of the vegetation behind him, but in just half a breath, everything was silent, as if nothing had happened. He even suspected that his eyes were blurred, but his intuition told him that Li Tianchou had left quickly.

This surprised Gong Sanda. Unexpectedly, this young man was so agile. He did not show any signs of it on the way to escape. Even though he supported Old Man Pan all the way, he only thought that the other party was young and energetic and extremely physical. But now it seems far from that simple. The second son's performance just now was like a cruel predator in the wild, calm, cunning, skillful, and extremely energetic.

Perhaps it was about to approach the target, and the trackers began to show their fangs, and several figures appeared on the slope. Although most of them only showed their small body, Gong San took a breath. It turned out that they were really the militants in the valley, with nine people, all of whom were fully armed, and they found the secret passage that they thought was very hidden.

Since Gong San was accidentally arrested into the valley, he has been observing the number of these armed personnel. He is not a purely productive worker, but about fifty people. He can barely be regarded as a reinforcement platoon and is known as a company to the outside world.

This group of people belonged to the famous General Noban. They had relatively complete light weapons but lacked ammunition. As for the heavy weapons with lethality, they were not discovered. Although they and General Noban were both under the Yang Shixun power on the surface, they were actually more united with two neighboring private armed forces and formed a different system.

The men under Noban are considered to be of relatively low level in the Shan Gang Special Zone, which has mixed forces, and are mainly active at the junction of the Third and Fourth Special Zones, and mainly make a living by planting and trafficking of big smoke. As for the activities of killing people and robbing, it is not uncommon.

This accidental capsized and was easily escaped by Li Tianchou and the other two, which was naturally a big fuss. In order to chase the three, it is understandable that the whole squad was used to use the power of a whole squad.

In the current state, in the eyes of the pursuers, the fugitives hidden behind the rocks naturally have no way to go. The problem is how to capture the other party at the cost of zero casualties, which requires some brainstorming.

Because they had just observed that the figure sitting next to the rock suddenly disappeared, and there was only one explanation, the other party must have discovered something and hid it. And they knew that the chief's gun and magazine were lost last night. If the other party was anxious, things would be very bad.

The leader of the pursuers was Kunlang. He decided to use shouting to confuse the fugitives first, and at the same time, he quietly divided his troops down the slope to surround him. In order to prevent accidents, he also arranged a soldier with good shooting skills to lie on the top of the slope with the best position to act as a sniper at any time.

Kunlang's voice was hoarse, but his speech was not fast, and he was quite charming when echoing among the mountains. Gong San could naturally understand what he said, but he temporarily pretended to be mute. On the one hand, he didn't know where Li Tianchou was moving, and on the other hand, he wanted to delay time as much as possible in silence.

The same content was shouted three times in a row, and Kunlang was a little furious. If he hadn't seen the encirclement soldiers still a distance, he would have had an attack. After taking a big mouthful of water, Kunlang wiped his mouth and planned to continue shouting. Suddenly, the other party's voice came from behind the mountain rock below, speaking Chinese, but Kunlang could probably understand, "Can you speak Chinese if you don't understand your words?"

Kun Lang, who could listen and not speak Chinese, was suddenly stuck. While he gestured to order the soldiers who were going downhill to speed up, he then reached out to call the people around him and asked who could speak Chinese, but was disappointed that no one could.

Kunlang's face became gloomy and his eyes flashed with a fierce look. Although it was incomparable to the regular army, he gathered in the mountains and forests all year round, doing business that was lost at any time. He had participated in countless battles and was still very experienced in small-scale battles in the jungle.

He suspected that the other party was deliberately delaying time, and even more so that the three fugitives were not all hiding behind the rocks, otherwise it would be meaningless to do so. If one of the desperate people hid somewhere with a gun, it would be very threatening. Although his vision was wide and within the reach of his eyes, Kunlang had not found any abnormalities, but this possibility increased greatly in his heart.

Kunlang immediately ordered two soldiers to support the people who were surrounding the slope to speed up the arrest, and ordered the two soldiers to come and find a suitable place to ambush in order to prevent sneak attacks from behind. In this way, together with himself, only three people were left to deal with the fugitives in front of him. (To be continued)
