69 I Really Hate Violence
Howl!
The pack of wolves suddenly let out a low, wary growl, their eyes staring straight ahead.
Su Ying clenched her fists and stared ahead warily. Soon, there was a commotion on the other side of the forest. In a flash, a few men appeared in front of her.
On one of the men’s shoulders was a squirrel. It was probably the thing that had darted by in a flash under the light just now.
The eyes of the men swept over Su Ying and the rest. “You guys are people who were just exiled?”
“Yes,” Su Ying answered.
Those men raised the machetes in their hands and said, “If you want to go in, each of you must pay one tael of silver.”
Su Ying had thought before the northern wilderness would be filled with all kinds of perils, but she didn’t think that she would be charged a road toll here.
“What? Is this a treasured place for the immortals? I still have to pay to enter?”
The man gave a scornful laugh. “Cut the crap. Don’t even think about going in without paying up.”
Su Ying used the torchlight in her hand to shine on the mercenaries who were more docile than the wolves. “They’re all my men. Are you sure you won’t let us in?”
It was so dark that the men didn’t see who was behind them. They didn’t expect there to be so many people behind them.
However, the man was unwilling to lose his dignity. “Hmph! Even if you don’t pay up now, you won’t be able to avoid paying this silver after you enter. Let’s go.”
A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. The few men turned around, intending to flee.
Now that Su Ying had finally seen a native alive, how could she let them go so easily?
“You think you can block my path as and when you like? If you don’t make things clear, no one can leave.” Su Ying quickly stepped forward and blocked their way.
Those few men looked at each other and suddenly attacked Su Ying when she wasn’t on her guard.
When the men’s weapons came flying at her, Su Ying tilted her head without flinching and dodged their strike leisurely. When the men attacked again, Su Ying grabbed their arms and swung them in the air. Screams of pain rang out in the expanse of forest, and the men’s two arms fell to their sides in strange positions.
They all looked at Su Ying in fear. They had never expected such a frail-looking woman to be so powerful.
Su Ying waved her hand nonchalantly. “If you had spoken nicely, you wouldn’t have to suffer like this. You just wouldn’t listen and had to force me to take action. I really hate violence, you know.”
When the mercenaries heard her, they thought these words sounded really hypocritical!
Based on Su Ying’s fighting style, she must have beaten at least a few thousand people, if not tens of thousands!
“What’s behind this patch of forest?”
The few men cried out in pain, but they didn’t dare to disregard her.
“The Tiger Base in the mountain valley. That area is the territory of the Tiger Base.”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. “You guys are from Tiger Base too?”
“Yes, yes. Our base leader said that every new criminal who wants to enter the base camp has to pay silver. Otherwise, they’re not allowed to enter.”
“Then where can people who don’t have silver go?”
“Some went around to the back of the mountain, but most of them stayed in the forest and end up as lost spirits!”
Su Ying thought of the skeletons she had seen on the way here. This man was probably telling the truth.
“Lead the way. Bring us to the Tiger Base.”
When the men heard that Su Ying and company wanted to go to the Tiger Base, they exchanged furtive glances and saw the gloating look in each other’s eyes.
“Alright.”
“Mistress, I’m afraid there may be an ambush in the Tiger Base.” Those men’s gazes did not escape Wang Su’s eyes. He felt that there was definitely a trap in there somehow.
“It’s not a long-term plan to spend the night in the forest.” The most important thing was to find a place to settle down as soon as possible. The Tiger Base was obviously a place where people lived for a long time, which proved that it was suitable for people to live in. Otherwise, those people would not have settled down there. Therefore, regardless of whether the Tiger Base was the devil’s lair or a demon’s cave, she had to break into it.
It wasn’t easy to get to know this place anew while looking for a suitable place to settle down in this wilderness. Since a suitable place was readily available, why shouldn’t she pick that place?
The Tiger Base was located a lot further away than they had expected. They walked for more than an hour before they reached a mountain valley.
From afar, they could see braziers burning outside the mountain valley and a group of people patrolling outside a gate constructed of wooden stakes.
The few men brought Su Ying’s group to the gate.
Su Ying shone the light in her hand upwards, and the words “Tiger Base” painted in red came into view.
“Who’s there?” The patrolling team noticed their presence and walked over.
The few people who were leading the way saw that someone was coming over and quickly ran over to call for help. “Captain, save us! They want to break into the base and are not willing to pay us the silver.”
The patrol leader’s messy eyebrows knitted together, and he stalked over in an imposing manner. “Where did you come from, you jerks? How dare you break into the Tiger Base? Capture them!”
Those patrolling men surrounded Su Ying and her group.
“Dogs.”
Howl!
The alpha wolf leader was shocked by the electric current on its neck, and it howled angrily.
“Number One, whether or not you guys can have dinner tonight will depend on your performance.”
The mercenary leader was staring at the wild wolves that rushed out to bite in a daze.
“Leader! Number One! She’s calling you.”
“When did I… Ouch!” Before Number One could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his head. He raised his head in furious hatred and met Su Ying’s icy almond-shaped eyes.
“I.. I’ll charge! I’ll charge!”
Soon, the headache disappeared.
Number One roared in anger and led his men to pounce on the patrolling guards.
Dozens of mercenaries immediately overwhelmed the dozen or so patrolling guards.
The men who led the way earlier were very frightened and they turned and fled back into the base camp.
“Help! Someone has broken into the base camp. Someone, come quickly!”
The man’s frightened screams reverberated in everyone’s ears for a long time.
In the campsite, in a three-story wooden building, a naked man was toying with the woman under his body.
“Leader, someone just came to report that intruders have trespassed the base camp. The patrol team has been taken down by them.”
The man turned around. His towering figure almost blocked out the candlelight.
“Come in and explain.”
The subordinate pushed the door open and entered the room. “Leader, someone has broken into the base camp and injured our people.”
The man slowly raised his head when he heard that. There was a long scar at the corner of his right eye. The scar ran from the corner of his eye to his left cheek as if it was going to split his face in two. It looked particularly sinister under the flickering candlelight.
“Someone has come to meet his death again.”
“The messenger said that the other party has brought a team of men and they are very skilled.”
Upon hearing that, the man laughed in a low voice. His deep laughter was filled with sarcasm and chilliness.
He slowly stood up from the chair, grabbed the robe at the side, and put it on casually. “In the past few years. there have been many people who wanted to break into the Tiger Base. Few have survived under my hands. It’s just perfect. I haven’t killed anyone for a few days now, and my hands are a little itchy… Hehehehe!”
