Chapter 415: Eating People

After a few breaths, a tiger dashed out of the woods and headed straight for the carriage team.

Several merchants were scared deathly pale.

This tiger's body didn't look very big, it was skin and bones. It didn't look young either, and even the two canine teeth in its mouth were broken in half... but a tiger is a tiger, not something these few thin merchants could deal with.

The young merchant suddenly said in a low voice.

"There are still two martial arts people in that carriage—"

The old merchant gripped his short blade and said in a low voice.

"They didn't come down, which means we can't count on them. What else can we do? Let them hold the child and fight the tiger to the death? Don't open your mouth, otherwise, you are forcing them to go to their deaths!"

As they spoke, the tiger pounced in front of them.

Several people swung torches, trying to drive it away.

But the tiger suddenly stopped and lay down.

It neither moved forward nor retreated, just watching them with tiger-like glares.

Before they could react to this eerie situation, the bushes shook again. A long sword probed out, followed by a ferocious, scar-covered face, and a pair of eyes flashing with greed swept over them.

"Heh heh—"

"Bring the, goods, follow, me—"

The tone was difficult and strange, carrying a whistling breath sound; rather than human speech, it was more like the low roar of a wild beast.

This person... let's call him a person, was nine feet tall, a head taller than Li Miao. His body was broad and sturdy, wearing an outer garment made of animal skins, and he was covered in scars. Most importantly...

Li Miao and Wu Mingxiao poked their heads out of the carriage.

"Eh?"

Li Miao actually gave a light exclamation.

"Heh heh, interesting, interesting!"

"Too interesting!"

Wu Mingxiao was confused, but seeing Li Miao's eyes flickering and his mouth slowly curling up.

Clearly, it was the same smile as before, but Wu Mingxiao suddenly felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably.

"Li... Big Brother..."

Li Miao turned back and smiled at him.

"Little brother, do you know about the Ming Cult?"

Wu Mingxiao nodded hesitantly.

"I know... naturally I know. Didn't the Ming Cult perish the year before last? They said they did the assassination, and the whole thing was buried in the capital..."

"The martial arts world says the Ming Cult leader was occupied by that Embroidered Uniform Guard Garrison Commander, lost her purity, and was then abandoned, finally going crazy and doing this, and then was killed by that Garrison Commander—"

Li Miao's smile stiffened.

"Stop, stop, stop, no, that's not what I meant. Speaking of which, where did you hear this?"

"Forget it, let's talk about the present."

Li Miao pointed at the wild man outside and said.

"You know the Ming Cult assassination was done by the descendants of Yang Lixuan, the former former former leader of the Ming Cult, right? Do you know the most significant characteristic of the Yang family's inheritance?"

Wu Mingxiao nodded; he naturally knew, but he didn't understand why Li Miao would bring this up at this time... Suddenly, he widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the wild man who had dashed out of the mountain forest.

Because this wild man's appearance was too fierce, he hadn't noticed the most important point before—besides being extremely broad and sturdy, this person's arms were also extremely long, touching his knees when hanging down!

This was exactly the characteristic of the Yang family!

"Big Brother Li, this!"

Li Miao waved his hand and smiled.

"That's why I said it's interesting."

"Listen to me, don't move. With me here, he can't hurt anyone. We have to watch this big show to the end."

The story split into two; after the wild man finished speaking, seeing that the merchants didn't move, he swung the long sword in his hand violently.

*Crash! *

This strike, including the ground and trees, carved a sword mark a zhang long and a thumb deep!

"Follow me!!!"

The thin tiger lying on the ground also stood up and roared.

*Roar! *

*Clang, the short blade fell to the ground.

Several merchants slowly placed their hands on their heads.

Only then did the wild man nod with satisfaction and wave his hand.

"Carriage, together, go up the mountain."
