Chapter 1307: Chapter 1306: Encountering Mountain Bandits

Not only were the mountains beautiful, but the sky here was particularly blue, reflecting on the lake’s surface, a brilliant azure, incredibly picturesque.

In the blink of an eye, the two crossed the bridge, ahead lay a stretch of flat road, but in the distance, there was a section called One-Line Sky, where two mountains were so close they nearly touched, leaving only a slit in between, making the sky seem like a mere line from afar.

Chen Tianlong unintentionally glanced at it, and suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, a sensation he hadn’t experienced in a long time, merely a warning of danger. So, he hurriedly pulled Tan Xianglan to a stop, preventing her from continuing.

"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong, are you feeling unwell?" Tan Xianglan looked at Chen Tianlong, as he held her with one hand and clutched his chest with the other, and asked with some confusion.

"Hmm, I sense something’s off, there could be an ambush by mountain bandits here. And mountain bandits in such places are no ordinary thugs, they might have hunting rifles and bows, we must be extra cautious."

Chen Tianlong dared not be careless, although he was powerful and more than capable of handling these people, he feared they might have firearms, which would be beyond his control.

If a single gun confronted him openly, he wouldn’t take it seriously, but what if they had secretly arranged many guns?

The earlier sensation in his chest warned him of potential threats, so Chen Tianlong didn’t dare take it lightly, opting for caution.

"Okay, I’ll be careful."

Tan Xianglan wasn’t too worried, firstly, having Chen Tianlong with her reassured her a lot; secondly, she wasn’t a saint either, after all, she was a Celestial Dao six-star practitioner, a very powerful existence.

Atop the canyon, there lay an ambush of over fifty people, ten with rifles, ten archers, and the remaining mountain bandits armed with daggers, waiting for their prey to arrive.

Since Chen Tianlong and his companion first arrived at the mountain range, someone spotted them at the entrance and quickly reported back. The local mountain king, Xiao He, along with his strategist Xu Ke, and his close guard Wang Du, led fifty bandit brothers to set up the ambush.

This mountain range was most familiar to them, and setting the ambush at the One-Line Sky canyon was the best choice. It was a typically defensible position, even an army couldn’t easily overcome them. All they needed to do was hold the canyon entrance.

"Boss, when should we strike? Those two have reached the canyon entrance, the man seems quite shrewd, noticing something amiss," Strategist Xu Ke stated.

"Who cares if he notices, once they’re on our turf, they’re at our mercy. Especially the woman, she’s so fair-skinned, she’ll be quite the fun to play with."

Wang Du, the lecher, always had this wolfish look, and every time he saw a beauty, he had to comment.

"Damn it, who’s the boss here, anyway? Such fine goods, you think you can ruin them at will? She’s going to be my chieftess, and anyone who dares take her from me will regret it," Mountain King Xiao He glared at Wang Du and said.

"Hehe, boss, I’m just joking around, you know I don’t watch my mouth, just saying things. Of course, she’s yours, I wouldn’t dare touch her," Wang Du hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, you know your place... Alright, everyone get ready, they’re coming in." Watching the two slowly move into the canyon center, Xiao He quickly ordered.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong and Tan Xianglan were walking towards the canyon, both very vigilant, after all, they were practitioners, and Chen Tianlong wasn’t overly worried.

The two walked faster, suddenly, a large net descended from the sky.

Chen Tianlong immediately realized and quickly dodged with Tan Xianglan using a Ghost Shadow Flash.

The men on the canyon top were astounded, what had they just seen, it was like they’d seen a ghost, and within moments, the two had escaped their capture range.

This capture range was a ten-meter-long net, how did he react and escape in just two seconds? Better than Ultraman, could he even be human?

Nonetheless, amid his astonishment, Xiao He quickly reacted, urgently ordering the archers to shoot, but not to kill, only targeting their arms and legs.

As for the gunners, they didn’t want to use them yet; after all, they were their trump card, and bullets were expensive, they couldn’t waste them carelessly.

Sure enough, as Chen Tianlong anticipated, he knew there were people atop the canyon, but it was at least twenty to thirty meters high, reaching it was pretty much impossible.

After all, his skills were limited, and with his current stamina, he could only jump ten meters high at best, anything beyond that was beyond his reach.

"Chen Tianlong, what should we do? There could be more ambushes ahead, maybe we should turn back," Tan Xianglan suggested, a bit scared. Even though she was a practitioner, she was also a girl, and girls were naturally timid.

Especially in such desolate places, if they were captured, they’d be done for.

"Don’t worry, I’m here." Chen Tianlong always said this, and those words made all the women with him feel at ease, as if nothing bad would happen with him around.

"Mm-hmm." Indeed, Tan Xianglan felt the same.

Just then, arrows suddenly shot down from the top of the canyon, aimed primarily at his arms and legs. Chen Tianlong immediately realized that these people intended to capture them, not kill them.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong devised a plan. He quickly took Tan Xianglan into his arms and deliberately extended his leg.

The next moment, Chen Tianlong’s leg was hit by two arrows, and he deliberately yelled "Ow!" and lay on the ground, still holding Tan Xianglan.

"Xianglan, don’t move, I’m holding you, they’ll think we’ve both been hit." Chen Tianlong whispered into Tan Xianglan’s ear.

"Okay, but..." Tan Xianglan glanced at Chen Tianlong’s bloodied leg, it was terrifying.

However, it was all just a façade, no way those lousy arrows could harm Chen Tianlong. Though the arrows looked menacing, they were merely superficial injuries to Chen Tianlong, and as long as the arrows were removed and the wounds properly treated to prevent infection, with some homemade medicinal powder, he’d be bouncing in two hours.

"Shh... don’t speak, someone’s coming." Just as Chen Tianlong finished speaking, countless ropes dropped from the canyon top, presumably tied above for quick descent.

Before long, twenty or so people stood at the front and back of the canyon, divided into two groups, each with archers and gunners, the rest wielding large blades.

Glancing quickly, Chen Tianlong recognized them as bandits, their attire just like in the movies. Chen Tianlong chuckled wryly, did these guys dress according to movie standards?
