The cold moon hung high in the sky and silver light shone down.

Amidst the low cries of night birds, Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu pa.s.sed through a dense forest and climbed up the steep cliff behind the Black Cloud Stronghold.

“The Black Cloud Stronghold is easy to defend but hard to attack. It’s no wonder that these bandits were able to develop into such a force.”

As Lin Bai spoke, he looked down and saw that there was a steep cliff below. The trees in the forest were like dotted dots.

However, Lin Bai’s gaze was not here. Instead, he was looking at Luo Ningyu, who was below him, and was somewhat absent-minded.

Luo Ningyu stuck close to the cliff and crawled steadily. A layer of sweat appeared on her face, and a strand of her hair stuck to her cheek. Coupled with her fair face, it was somewhat white with a tinge of red. As she continued to look down, it was that…

“Hmm?”

Luo Ningyu noticed Lin Bai’s gaze and looked up. Her gaze was a little cold.

“No, nothing.”

Lin Bai immediately retracted his gaze.

There was a moment of silence.

“The Black Cloud Stronghold is still heavily guarded at night. This doesn’t make sense.”

Luo Ningyu suddenly spoke.

They had conducted a short survey at the foot of the Black Cloud Stronghold.

Every few dozen meters, there would be two bandits standing on the watchtower on the wall, constantly scanning the area below.

One had to know that it was already late at night.

If this was a military camp, such tight security was considered normal.

But one had to know that this was the stronghold of a group of bandits. Who were the bandits? They were either lazy people, had no means to live or those who were inherently evil.

Therefore, bandits usually had no discipline. After eating and drinking at night, they would fall asleep at a certain position. It was common for bandits to pick up sc.r.a.ps.

However, this was not the case in the Black Cloud Stronghold.

They had once been at the foot of the mountain and looked at the top of the stronghold. The Black Cloud Stronghold was brightly lit, but it was abnormally quiet.

The stockade was brightly lit, and with the tight security, the two of them had no choice but to take another risk. They took a detour to the back of the Black Cloud Stronghold and climbed up the vertical cliff from the back.

“Indeed.” Lin Bai nodded and agreed with Luo Ningyu’s idea. “A normal stockade shouldn’t have such tight security.”

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu were more and more curious about what had happened in the Black Cloud Stronghold.

The two of them climbed along the vertical and steep cliff for half a day before they finally reached the cliff.

Halfway through, the rock under Lin Bai’s feet loosened, and he almost fell off the cliff. Fortunately, he had the quick wits to take out a long sword and thrust it into the cliff like cutting tofu, which stabilized the falling speed.

“Phew. We’re finally here.”

Lin Bai wiped his forehead and reached down to hold Luo Ningyu’s smooth and tender hand tightly. Then, he pulled her up.

So light…

Lin Bai sighed in his heart, but after looking at Luo Ningyu’s plump body, he felt that Luo Ningyu was not light at all…

Luo Ningyu noticed Lin Bai’s gaze and glanced over. Lin Bai took a step back and turned to look at the Black Cloud Stronghold:

“This Black Cloud Stronghold is brightly lit. I didn’t expect there to be guards patrolling the night. Something’s wrong, something’s really wrong!”

Luo Ningyu’s footsteps were very light as she arrived behind Lin Bai. Her voice was cold as she said, “Something’s really wrong!”

Lin Bai definitely had other intentions towards Luo Ningyu, but he pretended not to understand and asked, “Then where should we start from?”

Luo Ningyu glanced at Lin Bai, then retracted her gaze and looked towards the inner side of the stronghold. “That place is located in the center of the stronghold, and the architecture is more exquisite and luxurious than the others. If I’m not wrong, the stronghold leader might be there.”

What Luo Ningyu meant was that they should head directly to their base camp. There was no need to waste time in other places of the black cloud stockade.

Lin Bai had no objection to this.

The two of them avoided the patrolling guards while walking in the dark, where the lights could not reach, and stealthily approached the building in the center.

Lin Bai muttered, “I remember your people saying that there are many commoners in the black cloud stockade. I don’t know why, but we haven’t seen one along the way.”

Luo Ning Yu nodded. “After we’ve finished visiting the chief, we’ll come and look for those commoners.”

The two of them quickly sneaked to the front of the building in the center of the Black Cloud stronghold.

On the upper right side of the building, there was a raised platform. On the platform were straw sheds. The straw sheds were filled with hay, fodder, and piles of stones, but there were no livestock.

The two of them leaned out slightly and looked at the building below.

“We can’t hear anything. See the balcony upstairs? Let’s go there.” Lin Bai pointed ahead.

Luo Ningyu nodded slightly.

But just as the two of them were about to jump out, the door on the first floor was kicked open with a bang. Three people walked out while cursing.

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu looked at each other and quietly followed the three people.

“Why, big brother, did you reject us? I can’t figure it out. Aren’t the seven of us united? Could it be that we can’t take revenge even though our fourth brother is dead?!”

The leader was a man with a big beard. His two bare and burly arms were exposed, and his face was full of hatred.

“Third brother, calm down. Big brother may have his own plans.”

An aquiline nose followed up and patted third brother’s shoulder.

“Fifth brother, how can I calm down! When I think of fourth brother being killed, I can only watch. That group of people walking around our village, it’s like a knife cutting through my heart!”

Bang!

Third brother punched a stone wall. The stone bricks were shattered into powder, and his fist came out from the other side.

After a long time, the big bearded third brother seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his head and looked sharply at the two people behind him:

“Fifth brother, seventh brother! I have already investigated the approximate location of that group of people. Forty brothers are waiting for orders. Are you guys going?!”

“If big brother finds out that we are going secretly like this…”

“Don’t mention it. Are you going or not? If not, get lost!”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Fourth brother is dead. How can we not take revenge!”

“Haha, that’s right!” The big bearded third brother beamed with joy. He patted the two of them with his thick palm. “This is a good brother. Big brother has too many worries. Let’s set off now. After we’re done…

“Haven’t you always wanted to have a taste Li Ru… Heh, I promise you!”

“Heh, then let’s go, fourth brother!”

“Take advantage of the night and kill them all. Take back the heads of those who did it and use them as urine pots!”

After making up their minds, the three of them followed a small path and arrived at the foot of the Black Cloud Stronghold.

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu followed closely behind.

It wasn’t easy to enter the Black Cloud Stronghold, but it was much easier to leave. The two of them easily arrived at the foot of the Black Cloud Stronghold, an empty place.

“You two wait here. I’ll go and call over forty brothers.”

After third brother finished his instructions, he turned around and walked to the other side of the stronghold.

Puchi…

“You… you…”

Third brother’s heart was stabbed by a small knife. His eyes bulged out as he looked behind him in disbelief.

“Third brother, I’m sorry. I can only let you accompany fourth brother!”
