C68 (1/2)
The little guy was chirping noisily on Qiao Nan's palm, gesticulating nonstop.
”You mean, you're saving someone?” The little mouse could understand Qiao Nan's words, but she could not say it out. It took a long time before Qiao Nan managed to understand it.
Hearing that, the little mouse nodded her head, and looked at Qiao Nan, hoping to help it.
”Little brother, is it convenient?”
They found the little white mouse's footprints near the house, and most likely they came in here.
It had to be said that this little mouse was quite clever. It had been surrounded on the east side of the town, and had run all the way to the west side of the town.
Hearing the noise from outside, the little mouse squeaked in fear and kept on sneaking into Qiao Nan's sleeve.
”Don't be afraid, let's go out and take a look.” Qiao Nan comforted the little mouse and opened the door.
There were over thirty men standing outside the ancient residence. The torches lit up the place as if it was daytime.
All of them held killing weapons as they nervously watched the youth walk out of the ancient house.
”Sorry to disturb your rest, little brother. I wonder if you saw a little demonic beast run in.” Zhao Gang's attitude was very respectful, afraid that he would anger the young man in front of him. Otherwise, his anger was not something that this small town could handle.
”You mean him?”
Qiao Nan spread out his hands, and the little fellow peeked its head out from inside its sleeves and looked outside.
”That's him. I didn't expect him to be caught by little brother. Zhao Gang greets him.” Seeing that the little guy had been caught, Zhao Gang was very excited. He hurriedly ordered someone to bring the iron cage over, wanting to lock it up.
The little fellow was so frightened that it used its two little claws to tightly grab onto his clothes.
Qiao Nan lightly patted it, telling it not to worry.
A playful smile hung on his lips as he coldly said: ”I didn't seem to say that I would give it to you.”
However, he wasn't going to take this lying down.
”This Monstrous Beast was caught by us in the first place. Why didn't you hand it over?”
”Kid, don't forget where you are now.”
Hearing that Qiao Nan was not willing to hand over the little mouse, all of their faces were gloomy and cold.
”What are you guys doing? Little brother is a guest, how can you point your bows and arrows at him? Don't tell me that if he doesn't hand it over, you're going to shoot him?”
Zhao Gang loudly berated the people behind him, but he quietly stepped back to open up a distance between him and Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan laughed coldly. This was not scolding them at all, but a reminder that if he did not hand over the little fellow, he would be shot into a sieve immediately.
But to use this trick to force himself to submit, wasn't he underestimating him a little too much?
He sneered, ”Are you threatening me? ”Seems like he's overestimating himself.”
Hearing this, the people tightened their bows even more and their bowstrings began to buzz.
With a cruel smile on his face, he said: ”Kid, we respect you as our guest and do not wish to fight with you. If you don't hand over the demon beast, hmph, don't blame us for being impolite.”
Zhao Gang's face was grave, and his eyes revealed a vicious look as he fiercely said, ”Little brother, these are the Profound Breaking Bows. Even with your protective Essence, you can still see through them. I advise you not to take any chances.”
The Profound Breaking Bow was a special bow and arrow specially used to destroy the flesh of cultivators. It was an essential killing tool in the army. The Black Armored Army also had this kind of god camp.
However, these bow and arrow were extremely expensive. The strings were made from the tendons of demon beasts, while the arrows were made of special metal. There were mysterious symbols engraved on them, giving them great lethality.
Qiao Nan was familiar with these types of bows and arrows that possessed extreme killing power. From the looks of it, these people only had three of these bows and arrows, so he guessed that they were here to protect the little town.
He would be too naive if he thought that he could threaten Ye Xiao just like that.
He harrumphed coldly in his heart, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. ”I'd like to see how you'll pierce through me.”
Are we really going to shoot? If they did not die, would there be any trouble?
