Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 38: Bandit Stronghold
"So...you're saying my cow went crazy, most likely because it was drugged?"

Hans was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Yeah, those guys seem to have done a lot of things like this."

Poro said, he thought about the yard full of dogs, cats, cows, horses, sheep and so on.

"What about them?"

"All dead."

Poro glanced at Hans, his expression meaningful. "Maybe they're just unlucky. I've only been in town for half a day and I've already been targeted."

Hans was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Thank you. You don't have to follow me on the road ahead, because it is indeed a bit dangerous."

"Danger?"

Poro was stunned for a moment.

"My gold turned into a horse, and then into a cow... It's right in front, and this time - I'm sure it's dangerous there!"

Hans looked ahead and continued to explain,
"A bandit stronghold. Unlike those hypocritical villains before, this is a group of undisguised executioners!"

Hans said, pointing ahead, at the end of a forked road.

"You can also reach the Kingdom of Sinuo by going from there. We have already passed the area of ​​Fiery Sun and Northern Wind. There is no reason for you to follow me anymore."

Having said that, Hans stopped talking and walked silently towards the more remote road, which was the road leading to the bandit stronghold.

After walking a few dozen meters, Hans stopped and turned around:
"Why are you still following me?"

"You just said there were robbers there!"

Lake spoke, and listening to the girl's pure voice, Hans opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

If a Poro had said this, Hans might have had other ideas.

But when Hans thought of Lake's appearance, he inexplicably changed his mind -

Are you worried about me? What a kind child.

"Well, if you insist on following me this way..."

Hans nodded, "Let's try to be careful."

The mountains on both sides squeezed towards the center again, and the path became a bit rugged. We were about to go into the mountains again. There was a bandit stronghold hidden in the green trees ahead.

As for Poro and Lake, do they really care about Hans?

Although they had experienced life and death together, Poro understood Hans's luck, so he was not too worried about him.

So the reason why Lake and Poro followed was because—

[Circular Return: Lucky Hans: The Luck of Losses]

[Unsealing Ceremony Completion Progress 3/6]

[Completed: Whetstone, Goose, Pig]

[Greedy people use drugs to plunder wealth that does not belong to them, but this wealth, along with their own lives, will all turn into nothing!]

Poro didn't want to give up this still unknown circular return.

After all, most of these fairy tale powers can play a significant role.

Both the previous [Little Red Riding Hood: The Cute Girl] and [Little Red Riding Hood: The Wolf in Disguise] played a huge role in the two of them finally killing the bishop and the witch hunter.

"Stop, there are people on the mountain road next to us."

The mountain breeze blew, and Poro stood up from the grass on the side. Some mixed human smells came from the upwind direction with the air flow.

"It must be those robbers."

Hans whispered, and Lake's hand also grasped the hilt of the knife at her waist.

Hans's stamina was that of an average person, so he continued walking along the mountain path in front of him. Meanwhile, Lake and Poro, from the bushes to one side, quietly moved towards the bandits who were hiding in the grass and trees...

Six bandits, wearing armor made of animal skins.

They stood on a huge rock in the bushes, looking at Hans walking alone on the mountain path in the distance.

"Someone's here." "It looks like... he's not bringing anything? Should we let him go?"

"Stupid! He would have starved to death on the way if he didn't bring anything with him. This kind of person must have a lot of money on him!"

"Okay, Boss, I'll go right away."

The two lower-ranking bandits nodded and ran down the mountain with their knives in hand.

But somehow, one of the robbers suddenly lost his balance and fell into the jungle!

"Ouch, pull me!"

"okay--"

The other robber hurried after him and also disappeared behind the bushes.

"Oh, two idiots!"

The other bandits laughed and didn't take it seriously, just continuing to stare at Hans on the distant mountain road.

Who knew that after a long time, the two robbers who had gone out earlier still did not show up.

"What's going on? Two idiots lost?"

The leading robber pursed his lips and said, "You two, go and see what's going on!"

Two more robbers jumped off the stone and walked into the bushes.

But after a long time, the bandit leader and the last bandit realized that something was wrong. The "passerby" Hans in the distance walked to almost the end of the field of vision and even found a stone to sit on!

wrong!

That's bait!?
This thought flashed through the mind of the bandit leader.

He looked at the grass under the stone and suddenly felt a little creepy. The bushes that were as tall as the man's body seemed to be hiding a greedy giant mouth!

Weird! I can’t stay here any longer!
"Let's go! There's a problem—"

The little leader turned around and saw another person next to him being knocked to the ground by a black shadow when he was halfway through speaking!
There's a wolf!?
He was about to raise the knife when he felt a pain in his wrist.

A silver dagger cut off his arm in an instant!
"Uh-"

The little boss wanted to scream, but the next second he felt a chill in his throat, forcing him to swallow the pain back!

"Yes, there are still two survivors."

Poro nodded, and he and Lake dragged the bandit leader and the little bandit into the grass.

……

"So... Hans, why did the robbers take your horse and leave you with a cow?"

The Poro looked at the two tied-up bandits.

Since the few people had few ropes with them, Poro dealt with the other bandits just in case, leaving only the small leader and another bandit.

But before killing the other bandits, Poro did learn from their conversation that they were indeed a group of ruthless killers.

"They didn't give it to me, but I fought hard to get it. Oh - maybe my luck played a role too."

Hans shook his head. "They had just robbed a caravan, blood was flowing like a river, and the ox cart was in the middle of the road, blocking my horse. I remember it very clearly—"

Hans's eyes were fixed on the gangster lying on the ground.

“Their knives were already hanging over my head, but then, one of the robbers behind him stabbed him in the back – he died, and I caught up in a civil strife!
The only thing I managed to grab in the chaos was the loose bull."

Poro was a little surprised. In a sense, this kind of luck was indeed terrible!
"Since we've already engaged... are we going to take down the bandits on the mountain as well?"

Poro glanced at the two terrified bandits beside him.

No matter why these bandits became bandits, when their hands were stained with the blood of innocent people for the first time.

They themselves are burdened with a blood debt!

"Thank you."

Hans forced a heartfelt smile on his depressed face, "That's exactly what I want to do!"
