Chapter 89

  Qin Man and Du Mao fought each other to a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.

  At this moment, the bows and arrows in the warehouse have been taken away, and the iron bow owned by Hama Village can just arm twenty people.

  "Qin Man, retreat." Cheng Dairen raised his hand and gestured to the archers behind him: "Divide into teams of ten, prepare."

  Qin Man launched a continuous fierce attack, forcing Du Mao to retreat, and leapt out of the battle array.

  "Let go!" Cheng Dairen's hand fell heavily.

  "Ready, aim, fire."

  Ten people at a time, arrows shot continuously towards Du Mao and Meng Ziyun, without stopping for a moment. Du Mao waved the wooden board in his hand to block most of the arrows, but he was retreating while fighting and couldn't move forward half a step.

  "Drive them to the cliff and don't let them rush down the mountain."

  There is only one way down from the Frog Mountain Stronghold. The back mountain is a deep and seemingly bottomless gorge.

  Du Mu grabbed Mengzi and retreated all the way back to the edge of the valley behind the mountain.

  At this time, Cheng Dalai stopped his men from continuing to shoot arrows and only used bows and arrows to aim at the two.

  After fighting till now, Du Mao and Meng Ziyun's bodies are already covered in wounds, fortunately, there are no casualties on the side of Hamao Village.

  "Du Lao Da, you have no way out now, why not join our Frog Village? We'll all eat meat and drink wine together, isn't that a happy life?" Cheng Da Lei really couldn't bear to kill this lazy big worm. If he could join the Frog Village, the village's strength would at least increase by one level.

  "You're a member of the Cheng family, don't try this with me! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

  Cheng Dalai waved his hand: "Release Liu Bei."

  Liu Bei clasped his hands together and stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the two people in front of the cliff with a mixture of sadness and joy, his eyes revealing a look of sympathy.

  "Hey, what's wrong..."

  In an instant, both of them had a feeling of being stared at by a ghost, and a chill ran from the inside out.

  Du Mu suddenly remembered the days when he was controlled by Liu Bei's fear, looked at Liu Bei again, and then looked back at the deep and bottomless cliff behind him. Suddenly, he grabbed Meng Ziyun's shoulder and fell backwards.

  "Hey, let's go."

  The two of them fell straight down into the cliff, and in the darkness, only Mengziyun's mournful echoes came back.

  This scene also stunned Liu Bei. He scratched his head in incredulity: "How can this be? I haven't even said anything yet."

  "That's enough, completely enough."

  Cheng Dalai patted his shoulder and stood at the edge of the cliff looking down.

  "If I fall like this, I'm afraid I'll be smashed into a meat paste." Xu Shenji said: "This cliff is over a hundred zhang high."

  "Generally speaking......" Cheng Da Lei paused for a moment: "Falling off a cliff won't kill you, and who knows, maybe it'll even trigger some kind of adventure."

  "I'll take someone down to check out the situation and definitely kill these two." Qin Man.

  "No need, as the saying goes 'don't pursue a defeated enemy', if they can still survive like this, then it's their destiny, maybe we'll meet again someday."

  Cheng Dalai finished speaking, and suddenly felt a chill on his face. He raised his head to see snowflakes falling from the sky, covering the entire heavens, as if someone was scattering shattered jade across the expanse of the sky.

  Yes, it's snowing.

  This year's first snow came earlier than usual.

  Heavy snow fell continuously, and goose feather-like snowflakes landed on mountain ridges, tree trunks, and rooftops. Several houses in Hamao Village were crushed by the weight of the snow, so they had to take advantage of the heavy snowfall to make repairs.

  In such weather, nothing can be done. Cheng Dairen and Xu Shenji and others had a few hot pot meals, and the rest of the time was spent accompanying Liu Zhi in the house, chatting idly.

  The time in this world is really idle. Such weather is not that Cheng Dairen wants to be lazy, but has no choice but to be lazy. Cheng Dairen can only snuggle up at home and watch the snowy scenery outside, feeling bored but also leisurely.

  In the previous life, the world was always 996, day after day, for dreams and self-realization, busy like a wheel. But it never occurred to me that being human doesn't have to be so tiring.

  It wasn't until three days later that the heavy snow finally stopped. Cheng Dairen walked out of the house, and the accumulated snow was as thick as his calf. The entire world was silver-clad and white-veiled, with snow-covered ice carvings resembling jade, truly a crystal world of jade heaven and earth.

  "Wow!" Cheng Dairen couldn't help but praise: "A good omen for a prosperous year, next year will be a great year!"

  "What's good about it? It hasn't rained in over half a year, and the crops are dying of drought. Now that the seeds have just been sown, this snow comes, and all the ungerminated crops will be frozen to death." Xu Shenji couldn't help but mock Cheng Dalai's ignorance: "Master, you don't understand, so it's better not to talk nonsense, or you'll easily get beaten up outside."

  Cheng Dali didn't mind Xu Shenji's sarcasm, but noticed a piece of information in his words.

  It hasn't rained for almost half a year.

  "Ordinary years... aren't they like this?"

  "It's been a rainy season but not a single drop of rain has fallen. Heaven is trying to starve people to death."

  Before, Cheng Dalai had never paid attention to the weather. It wasn't until now that he suddenly realized that since arriving in this world, it seemed like he hadn't encountered a single rainy day.

  It wasn't until Xu Shenji reminded him today that Cheng Darui noticed this matter.

  Looking at the vast white snow around him, Cheng Dalai suddenly had an epiphany, and a problem that he had been unable to solve for a long time finally came up with a solution.

  Before that, Cheng Dairen had wanted to go to Heishi City to harvest a batch of fear value, but the two places were too far apart. If he encountered a powerful person from Heishi City, he might not even have time to escape.

  This vast and overwhelming snowfall has created an opportunity for itself. By converting the carriage into a sled, the horse's load is lightened, and its speed is also faster.

  Cheng Dalai's heart was filled with the thought of accumulating 100,000 fear points, so he decided to do an eleven-draw streak, and it just so happened that he had some free time during winter break to get this done.

  Call Huang San Yuan and ask about the situation in Heishi City. This is Cheng Da Lei's first time going to Heishi City, he is not familiar with the place, doing more homework is always a good idea.

  Next is to determine who will take action this time. Heishi City is completely unfamiliar to Cheng Dali, and it's unknown what kind of masters are hidden here, so a few masters should be selected for this operation.

  Cheng Darui's first confirmed candidate was Lin Shaoyu. Lin Shaoyu was one of the few people with hidden attributes that Cheng Darui had met, a young man who aspired to become a great hero, and this operation to punish evil and promote good, to rob the rich and help the poor, couldn't do without him.

  From Du Mao's affair, Cheng Dairen realized the preciousness of talent. Even if there were a few top-notch people, they wouldn't let Du Mao be so arrogant. Liu Guan Zhang wants to upgrade, and the original people in the mountain stronghold can't be delayed either. This time, Lin Shaoyu is taken along, saying nothing but being able to brush up on some experience points.

  Then came Qin Man, Xu Shenji, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Qin Man was the guarantee of martial power, with him around, no matter how powerful the fierce man was, it didn't count as a problem. Bringing Xu Shenji was to prevent his poisonous milk from harming the mountain stronghold, while Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were naturally there to gain some experience points for them. As for Guan Yu... he stayed in the mountain stronghold with unfinished business, passing on the Wujik knife to everyone, cultivating a team of big knife wielders for Cheng Dalai.

  With everything ready, the six of them set off towards Blackstone City in a sled pulled by four horses. The vast snowy landscape revealed four tiny black dots that looked like ants.

  Hiss, trigger task, rob ten rich households in the city.
