Chapter 51
Now Viper also understood; they used the cover of night to attack the mountain, so Poison Spider could naturally let the night cover some things for himself.
The purpose was naturally to maximize the effect of the traps they dug during the day; Black Centipede also reacted to this in an instant.
Thinking that he had originally proposed to attack during the day, but Viper insisted on the night, now they hadn't even seen a single person, and their side had already suffered many casualties.
But even if there was resentment in his heart, this was not the time to pursue responsibility.
"The Spider Stronghold is already at its wit's end. Charge!" Affected by this blow, morale would certainly be impacted. Black Centipede shouted while charging with his knife, intending to boost morale with this.
Poison Spider stood at the stronghold gate with his sword, flanked by all the personnel of the Spider Stronghold.
Black Centipede was right; he was already at his wit's end. A day's time was only enough for him to do these things; what followed would be a hard battle.
Black Centipede, charging at the front, saw Poison Spider at a glance; it could be said that enemies meeting were especially jealous. The two fought together again, determined to decide a winner today.
The people of the Viper Stronghold, led by Viper, deliberately slowed down a step, letting the Centipede Stronghold charge in front.
The moment the two sides made contact, fire and blade light merged into one, and the sounds of slaughter resounded through this Lianhuan Shan.
At the same time, in the Scorpion Stronghold, Evil Scorpion and Lazy Toad were sitting together drinking tea; the two regarded everything outside the stronghold as nothing.
Both groups of people inside and outside the stronghold stood with knives in hand; if there was the slightest movement, another war would break out here.
Lazy Toad raised his teacup without speaking, looking at Evil Scorpion with a smile.
Evil Scorpion took a light sip of tea and suddenly said: "I know you are a person from the government."
Hearing this, Lazy Toad's eyelids twitched involuntarily, but he quickly adjusted.
"Idle is idle, shall we chat?"
The night in Lianhuan Shan was destined to be a sleepless one; unlike the sounds of hacking and killing at the gate of the Spider Stronghold, the Viper Stronghold was full of sighs.
"Qing Yi Se, pay up, pay up!"
A bandit was shouting with a glowing face, and the bandits behind him were also very excited; after all, these coins included their own share.
Looking at Jiang Jinshi opposite him, his face was as foul as excrement.
The bandits all laughed: "It's a pity you invented this thing, you're not very good at it either!"
Jiang Jinshi retorted with a face full of defiance: "It's my stomach ache that affected my operation. Wait until I go to the latrine, and when I come back, I'll kill you until you're left with nothing, stripped bare!"
After speaking, Jiang Jinshi clutched his stomach, signaling the bandit monitoring him to help him play for a while.
The bandit wanted to refuse, but who would have thought Jiang Jinshi would say, if I lose, count it as mine.
Thus, the mahjong continued, and no one paid attention to Jiang Jinshi who went to the latrine.
Turning around to see no one following him, Jiang Jinshi ran toward the kitchen in a flash. Even though most of the people in the stronghold had gone out, Jiang Jinshi still did not relax, carefully moving forward in the dark.
Soon, Jiang Jinshi brought out a jar of wine from the kitchen, and also grabbed a few side dishes by the way.
This wasn't something he made on the spot; it was leftovers from dinner, and he just added some small ingredients according to his own ideas.
Returning to the room again, Jiang Jinshi poured a mouthful of wine and gulped it down, saying heroically: "Refreshing! Come, come, come, watch me win back everything I lost."
A bandit watched Jiang Jinshi drinking and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, asking: "Where did you get this wine?"
Jiang Jinshi responded while organizing his tiles: "I got it from the kitchen. Anyway, there's going to be a celebration banquet later, so it doesn't matter if we drink a little early."
"Don't drink so much that you play the wrong mahjong and lose your underpants," the bandit sitting opposite Jiang Jinshi laughed.
Jiang Jinshi snorted disdainfully: "Except for you, who would get drunk on this little bit of wine?"
Seeing his drinking capacity being looked down upon, he immediately stood up in defiance: "Pour the wine, this young master can drink a whole jar by himself without getting drunk."
"A whole jar is unnecessary; it's easy to be noticed by the boss if we drink too much. Let's each drink a bowl!" Jiang Jinshi started distributing the wine without allowing any argument; everyone present got a bowl, even more than they drank at dinner!
Under the invisible influence of the atmosphere, except for the bandit monitoring Jiang Jinshi, everyone else drank the wine from the jar, paired with some side dishes, looking like a harmonious scene.
Wang Xixi and the others, who had been warned, quietly spat out the wine, looking forward to what was about to happen.
Soon, the bandits ran to the latrine one after another clutching their stomachs; by the time the bandit monitoring Jiang Jinshi noticed the abnormality, it was already too late.
"Did you do something to the wine?"
Jiang Jinshi pulled his Ghost Head Knife from under the bed and held it against the other's neck: "You have two choices. First, I chop you with one knife; second, is..."
Before he could finish speaking, the bandit in front of him clutched his stomach and ran out, muttering: "My stomach hurts so much, I'm going to poop in my pants."
Unexpectedly, the other party was so sensible, so Jiang Jinshi naturally didn't pursue it, and led Wang Xixi and the others toward the outside of the Viper Stronghold.
Currently, he didn't know if Wang Xiaoniu had delivered the message; Jiang Jinshi had no bottom in his heart about this, so the top priority was to get down the mountain quickly to avoid Viper bringing people back.
Who knew that not long after leaving the stronghold gate, Jiang Jinshi and his party bumped into Luo Feng and the others who were sneaking up the mountain in the dark.
The battle at the gate of the Spider Stronghold had already entered a white-hot stage, with hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, from all three strongholds.
With the battle at this stage, perhaps only the total annihilation of the Spider Stronghold could stop the Viper Stronghold and the Centipede Stronghold.
Although the Spider Stronghold had buried traps in advance, causing some damage to the troops of the two strongholds, once a head-on conflict broke out, the decline of the Spider Stronghold was quickly revealed.
At this moment, Black Centipede was still confronting Poison Spider; the injuries from their last battle hadn't healed, and now they had added many new ones.
What made Black Centipede angry was that Viper wasn't even pretending anymore, sitting on the side watching the show, letting him and Poison Spider fight to the death.
Now it wasn't a matter of Black Centipede not wanting to fight; Poison Spider had already killed until his eyes were red, chasing Black Centipede to kill him.
In the crowd, Viper Snake was fighting with an ordinary bandit, but as the two hacked and killed, they got closer and closer to Viper.
Viper still didn't notice at all; after all, his ears were full of sounds of fighting, and he was still focused on the battle between Black Centipede and Poison Spider, preparing to step forward to finish them off at any time.
Seeing that he was already very close to Viper, Viper Snake quietly nodded toward the man in front of him.
The knife in the man's hand was knocked away by Viper Snake, and he immediately turned and fled "in a sorry state" toward Viper, but a dagger quietly appeared in his other hand.
In just a single breath, the man was only a step away from Viper; only then did Viper react, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a bright dagger approaching his neck.
Viper Snake stared at this scene without blinking, even subconsciously slowing his breathing.
This distance...
He couldn't dodge it!
