112 A Black Bird (2/2)

As for the eight roving bandits, he just planned to use them as a decoy to lure the enemies out.

He had a strong feeling that there were perhaps only two to three people slaughtering the roving bandits along the way.

All the brown-belt assassins waited in their positions patiently. They saw the crescent moon gradually rise up high in the sky and then slowly set in the west. They knew that the night was about to be over. At this moment, the campfire was about to go out, and all the bandits were sound asleep. They could hear nothing except the bandits' snorting noise and the cries of insects and frogs.

Just before dawn, they finally saw the unknown enemy they were waiting for.

It looked like a dark shadow. They saw it jump up and down all the way to the camp, making absolutely no noise, like a big black bird looking for food in the grass.

If this black bird had not moved directly toward the bandits, the teenagers would have never paid particular attention to it.

The blackbird jumped around the bandits to check and then quickly decided to launch an attack. Its weapon seemed to be a dagger. Every time, the weapon touched a bandit, he would immediately stop snorting.

This looked more like a devil's life-sucking trick than a regular dagger skill.

Nevertheless, the teenagers were still determined to catch the blackbird alive even if it was indeed a monster.

When the blackbird killed all the bandits and was about to cut their chests and stomachs open, Liuhua shot out an arrow from the dense grass.

The blackbird swiftly turned around and used its wide sleeves to catch the arrow.

Before the blackbird realized what had happened, another arrow was flying toward it.

Liuhua the Silencer was the fastest bowman among all the Dragon Year apprentices.

The second arrow he shot nearly hit the blackbird. It was furious and began to jump toward the place where Liuhua hid. This time it jumped side to side to confuse the bowman, which made it look like a clumsy bird.

Liuhua kept shooting, but none of his arrows could hit the blackbird now.

When the blackbird was only ten steps away from Liuhua, Wildhorse suddenly leaped out of the thick grass, striking his saber at the back of the blackbird.

They exchanged only a few moves, and then the blackbird suddenly fell into the grass. Wildhorse immediately jumped on it. Seeing that, Gu Shenwei came out from the other side of the camp. He knew that Snowcamel who had been hiding in the dark had already successfully knocked the blackbird down.

In this action, Liuhua, Wildhorse, and Snowcamel were in charge of catching the mysterious murderer alive, and Gu Shenwei was responsible for killing all the murderer's followers. However, since the murder came here alone, Gu Shenwei had nothing to do during this fight.

When he ran to the three brown-belt assassins, he saw that the blackbird was already tied up with ropes, but it still kept struggling. Wildhorse was holding his saber shaft tightly, with a murderous look on his face. He saw some blood on Wildhorse's shoulder and realized that he was wounded by the blackbird during the fight.

As the day began to dawn, they could see the blackbird clearly now. It was lying face down, with its hands tied behind its back. The brown-belt assassins discovered that there was a steel needle fixed on each of its fingers and came to realize that these things were its weapons.

They surrounded the blackbird. Gu Shenwei drew out his dagger and knelt on the ground to turn it over. He took off its hood and was surprised to find out that it was a woman.

She was around 40 and looked crazy and evil. Her lips were so red as if she had just drunk some blood. She opened her mouth, revealing her white teeth.

No matter it was a monster or a woman, for killers, a captive was just a captive.

Gu Shenwei had been tortured in Heart Cleansing Yard before. He was well aware that fear could make a person tell the truth. He knew that now he had to abuse this woman a little to make her confess.

He turned her around and used his dagger to chop off her thumbs.

The woman buried her head in the soil, wailing.

When he turned her around again, her face was pale and dirty, and her lips were not so red as before.

With the dagger in one hand and the woman's thumbs in the other hand, Gu Shenwei said, ”I've enough time to torture you. I can make you live and suffer until our team behind catches up with us.”

The woman's face was distorted by pain, but she did not look panicked at all. She seemed even more crazier and had a threatening look in her eyes. She scanned the teenager up and down for a while and said, ”Kill me now. I won't tell you anything. We don't want your goods, We just want the person.”

Her voice was hoarse. She sounded as if she had not opened her mouth to speak to anyone for a long time.

”Who do you want?”

”Kill me now. You can only outlive me by several days. You'll die very soon, so will all the people in Golden Roc Fort. You're doomed since we're back. We'll take our things back.”

The woman seemed so possessed. She laughed wildly as if the things she wanted were right in front of her now.

Gu Shenwei realized that the crazy woman was not afraid of torture. He was pretty sure that he would not be able to get any valuable information out of her.

He held his dagger against her chest and looked into her eyes for the last time, hoping to capture a sign of weakness or hesitation.

However, this woman remained firm and unshakable all the time. A moment later, he thrust the dagger into her heart.
