The rain is pouring down.

In the dark woods, bean-sized raindrops shattered on the straw hat, gathered into streams and fell from the old raincoat, washing over the bloodstains at the feet. The rough wooden scabbard tucked behind the waist was washed by the water, and the bell tied to the scabbard jingled because of the rain.

The sound of falling rain accompanied the wailing. The flowing blood mixed with the water, washing away the strong smell of blood, but making the surrounding atmosphere even more solemn and murderous. The sharp cold light of the sword seemed to break through the shackles of the forest.

"I learned swordplay at the age of seven, killed a martial arts master at the age of thirteen, and was invincible a thousand miles away at the age of fifteen. The sword in my hand can cut through rain and frost, and can also cut off rivers and stop waterfalls."

A low chanting sound came from under the bamboo hat, and the calm tone told of something extraordinary. The precious sword in his hand made a soft humming sound, and the raindrops that fell on it were shattered one by one, and a cold light appeared in the darkness.

The knight whispered: "I thought no one dared to draw a knife against me, but I never thought I would touch you again. Do you hear me? My knife is singing. It has not touched blood or harvested lives for several years."

"This is not a good thing. The birth of a sword should be accompanied by death. Only when lives are cut off one by one under the sword can it cultivate its charm and become a true magic weapon."

"Uuuuuu——"

The bandits who were tied to wooden stakes and volunteered to compete with the knight with swords in their hands were trying to break free from the cloth balls in their mouths, and their chattering sounded so noisy in the murderous rain.

The knight pouted in dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with you guys? You were so quiet before but now you're suddenly quarreling. Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

"Maybe I have the strength to struggle again."

The girl with bright blonde hair picked up the sword and poked the bandits at random. She looked up at the Frisbee that was simulating a rainy day and said with enlightenment, "It's possible that they are kindly reminding us to add water to the Frisbee."

"What do you think?" Ying turned around and looked at his younger brother.

After unremitting efforts, her persistence finally moved the three men. After they came to their senses, they expressed their willingness to cooperate in the wilderness and voluntarily became her subordinates.

The traveler bandit camp is being built in full swing!

Holding an umbrella and nodding her chin, Linnett turned a deaf ear to Ying's questions and continued to doze off while standing. Her furry cat tail rested against the hard tree trunk behind her, as if it could support the weight of her entire body.

Femini sat on the ground, his head in a diving helmet resting against a tree trunk, also turning a deaf ear to the traveler's words. However, unlike Linnet's passive resistance, he was simply too shy to even think straight.

But it’s not a big deal, since I have an older brother who can handle it.

Lini, who was highly expected by the two, touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Maybe they felt that they were quite frustrated that they didn't have any lines to perform with, so they protested."

The personality of this traveler who forced them to call him stepfather was quite similar to that of the samurai Sakurasai. Both of them had a despicable air that was not quite like a human being. However, considering the former's old age, it was normal for him not to behave like a human being.

Linnie simply didn't know how to deal with such a person.

"Oh~ I didn't expect you guys to have such an idea."

"No, no." Flying under the traveler's umbrella and taking off his hat, Paimon interrupted and protested: "There are quite a few tough guys among these guys. Their insults are really nasty. I am fragile and can't stand their insults."

Glancing at the tough bandit lying on the ground, whose wailing voice was getting weaker and weaker, Ying nodded in agreement and said, "After all, Paimon is just a little mascot. He doesn't have much ability, nor does he have a strong ability to withstand pressure. He really can't accept their insults."

"That's right. Not everyone has the same ability to withstand pressure as the Traveler." Paimon also nodded in agreement.

But soon she put on a bitter face again: "But it's really annoying that they're making so much noise. They look like third-rate bandits and can't show Paimon's bravery at all. First-rate bandits don't talk so much."

A cold light flashed across her eyes, and she touched her neck with her fingers: "If all else fails, feed them some deadly poison. Since they are unwilling to listen to our kind words and actions, then force them to be quiet."

The bandits tied to the stakes had their eyes wide open in horror.

The seemingly harmless little mascot turns out to be the most cruel person!

And don't you know why we are calling you? The Frisbee is sprinkled with salt water, salt water!

"You are too cruel. And do you think poison is free? Just wipe your neck with a sword. It's quick and efficient, and it won't waste poison." The gentle Ying shook her head and rejected Paimon's suggestion.

Paimon disagreed: "No, if they were killed by cutting their necks with a sword, wouldn't they look dead at first glance? If they were killed by poison, they would look alive."

"That kind of freshness is fake after all."

Ying stamped her feet and said, "The village is now expanding. We can't waste a minute or a second. It's my limit to accompany you here for so long. Just kill them and bury them."

The traveler said unkindly, "These guys have a case on their hands. If they stay in the village, it will only attract the attention of the General Affairs Department, which is not conducive to the village's plan to develop quietly. I'll go back and find a few newcomers with clean hands, and I'll let them act with you."

"Uuuuuu——"

"I say! I have information to share!"

In the face of life and death crisis, one of the bandits finally deftly pushed the cloth ball out of his mouth and shouted loudly with his mouth opened:

"We are from the Shanyang Escort Agency, and we work with them to rob and kidnap the wealthy Ronghu of the rival escort agency!

"The reason I came here this time is because the rival escort agency received a mission to escort a wealthy and foolish young lady who ran away from home and eloped with a scholar! This is a great opportunity to kidnap and make a lot of money. Those good-for-nothings in the escort agency will definitely not be able to beat all of you heroes..."

"If you say one more, your life may be in danger."

Holding the knife to the bandit's throat, Paimon warned coldly: "We don't need you to make decisions for us. Whether to do this business or not is entirely up to us."

"Well said. You are worthy of being the second most important person in the village. It is not your place to tell us what to do in our village." Ying clapped his hands and sneered.

Lini asked, "So do you want to do this business?"

"Of course. Didn't you hear him say that this is a very profitable business?"

"Be careful and alert! Wenzai."

The young escort called back his companion who was walking in front of him and suddenly became restless. He held the big sword behind him in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Is it the smell of the enemy?"

"Woo~"

The little strange beast called Wen Zai shook his head and nodded.

"It's the smell of blood. Something's wrong here, be careful around you."

The tacit understanding between partners cannot be blocked by words. The young escort clearly understood Wenzai's meaning. He searched around and soon spotted the dense figures walking out of the woods in the distance.

A faint demonic power surged out, and the attendant Yingzhai's lips moved slightly: "Not only does it smell like blood, but it also smells like a traveler. It seems that this operation will not go smoothly. She may help us get rid of those people."

"Why are you near Yilongbu now?" Keqing glanced at the escorts whose positions were unclear and frowned slightly. "I have prepared a fake identity and a disguise. I am here to walk into a trap."

These people who do dirty deeds don't have deep connections with the escort agencies on the surface, nor do they have deep connections secretly. The cunning guys have long been prepared to cut off contact at any time.

If they fail to fall into the trap and reach deeper into the evil forces, those guys can cut off contact at any time and then recruit another group of people to do dirty things.

"Don't ask me, I don't know. I don't monitor what Ying does every day."

The attendant god Yingsai shook his head, vetoing the three consecutive requests.

"But before I set out, a traveler clamored to go up to the mountains and be the king. There are many mountains here. Maybe she came here to expand her territory and happened to run into this group of people."

"So what do you think they want to do now?"

"Do business!" The attendant Yingzhai vowed, "A big business that can support the expansion of the stronghold. What do you think is the most profitable business for a bandit?"

Keqing's eyes went blank.

"Don't tell me she wants to break the law."

If this is really the case, should we arrest him or not?
