Chapter 20 General Du Hu, killing people to silence them
As the mysterious man spoke, he opened the box, and suddenly golden light burst out.
The box was filled with gold coins. Judging from the size of the box, there were at least 10 gold coins.
The butchers' attention was not on the gold coins, but on a small wooden box.
"This is the reward I promised you before, 10 gold coins and 10 kilograms of mithril."
When they heard the mysterious man talking about 10 kilograms of mithril, the three people's breathing became noticeably heavier.
"Sir, can we inspect the goods first?"
"You don't believe it?"
Although they couldn't see the mysterious man's appearance, they could clearly feel his dissatisfaction.
The butcher had a fake smile on his face: "Sir, we still know your credibility, but inspecting the goods is also the rule in our green forest."
The mysterious man suddenly raised his head, his exposed eyes flashing: "You know me?"
The butcher chuckled and said, "How could we not know your reputation?"
The mysterious man looked at the butcher coldly, and the hall fell silent for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, beads of sweat began to seep out of the butchers' foreheads.
It was only at this time that the mysterious man spoke again: "Then follow your rules."
As he spoke, he threw the small wooden box to the butcher.
The butcher and his men then breathed a sigh of relief, took the wooden box, and couldn't wait to open it.
Inside was a piece of bright silver mithril, exuding a fascinating color.
The three of them were all excited: "Brother, with this mithril, we can forge the fate master's scepter!"
"Well, these are enough for us."
The butcher also nodded excitedly.
Mithril is extremely valuable. Even though there is only one piece, its value is more valuable than those 10 gold coins.
Just when the three of them were excited, the mysterious man spoke again: "If there is no problem, hand over the things."
The butcher looked at the venomous snake: "Second brother."
Viper understood and took out two tokens from his arms and threw them to the mysterious man.
The mysterious man took the sign, looked at it carefully, and put it in his arms.
"What about the other piece?"
Viper cupped his hands and responded, "Sir, we only found these two tokens."
The mysterious man's eyes immediately became sharp, and he stared at the venomous snake coldly.
"I advise you to think it over carefully. This thing is not a treasure, but a death warrant from the King of Hell. Keeping it will only do you harm!"
Under the mysterious man's gaze, Viper felt a great deal of pressure, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, we really only found these two tokens."
"Humph, you are so stubborn and are courting death."
The mysterious man was furious, and the red book of fate appeared immediately.
Amidst the shining light, six majestic beasts of life appeared in the hall.
The faces of the three butchers changed drastically: "Red-sealed Hanlin, perfect master of destiny!"
Feeling the terrifying power displayed by the mysterious man's six life beasts, the third in command Black Dragon hurried to explain.
"General Du, please believe us. We really don't have any hidden tokens."
"Third brother!" The Viper's face suddenly changed, and he roared, trying to interrupt Black Dragon, but it was too late.
Black Dragon thought that Viper didn't want to explain, so he continued, "Second brother, we must... "
"Snapped"
The butcher suddenly took action and slapped Black Dragon hard, interrupting him.
He glared at Hei Long fiercely: "Old Third, shut up!"
Then the butcher clasped his hands and said, "Sir, the third brother is a scoundrel. He doesn't care what he says. You'd better not argue with him."
"Since you said it was three tokens, then we'll go look for them again. We won't accept these rewards."
The mysterious man looked at the butcher and his two companions with a sneer on his face. He slowly took off the black mask he was wearing.
"Since you already know my identity, there is no point in hiding it any longer."
Seeing the mysterious man taking off his mask, the Butcher and the Viper felt a pang in their hearts, knowing that things were going to get bad.
Viper was so angry that his teeth itched: "Damn Black Dragon, this brainless pig teammate, how could he reveal the other party's identity? It really killed us!"
He said quickly, "General Du, don't worry. Although the three of us brothers are from the outlaws, we always keep our word and are very tight-lipped. We will never leak anything about tonight."
At this time, Black Dragon also realized that he had said the wrong thing just now, and he might lose his life, so he immediately replied: "Yes, yes, we will definitely not tell anyone about your existence."
General Du still had a cold expression on his face: "When it comes to keeping secrets, I only trust the dead."
As soon as these words were spoken, the butcher and his two companions immediately knew that something was wrong.
They looked at each other, turned around and fled, without even thinking of fighting General Du.
It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't.
General Du is a red-sealed Hanlin and a perfect fortune teller. They cannot defeat him at all with their strength.
"You want to escape from me? Dream on!"
General Du snorted coldly, and the six life beasts blocked the three people's way in an instant.
Seeing this, Viper immediately shouted: "Brothers, there are enemies!"
His idea was simple, which was to use the bandits in the mountain stronghold as cannon fodder and give them a chance to escape.
But General Du raised his hand casually and a firework shot out.
As the fireworks bloomed in the night sky, shouts and cries of killing immediately rang out around the village.
Viper's expression was extremely ugly. "What a great General Du, you are worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the Hanhai Principality. You are really good at deploying troops. You must have planned to silence us long ago."
General Du is actually Du Hu, the Grand Marshal of the Military Forces of the Principality of Hanhai, a level 60 red-seal Hanlin!
He sneered at the three people and said, "This matter is of great importance. Anyone who knows about it will die. How can I let you live alone!"
At this moment, five people walked in from outside. They were all followed by fate beasts. They were obviously fate masters.
"Sir, the bandits outside have been eliminated."
"What?" Black Snake looked at the five people in disbelief.
"We have 800 people in our village. Although they are all ordinary people, it is impossible for you to kill them all in such a short time."
A man who came in said disdainfully: "In order to deal with you, the general brought the entire guard."
Hearing this, the three of them despaired again.
Du Hu's personal guards are famous throughout the Principality of Hanhai!
The reason is simple. This guard team has a total of 200 people, and all members are tribute masters above level 30!
With such strength, it would be easy to wipe out a bandit stronghold with only 800 ordinary people.
The butcher laughed bitterly at this time and said: "I shouldn't have been greedy and accepted this task in the first place."
Du Hu sneered: "It's too late to regret now!"
With a wave of his big hand, his life beast immediately pounced towards the three people.
Seeing this, the butcher grabbed the venomous snake and whispered, "Second brother, you are the most talented and intelligent among us. Our revenge depends on you."
"what?"
Before the venomous snake could understand what was happening, he saw the butcher press the boss's chair, and a narrow secret passage appeared.
"Come on!"
The venomous snake was pushed directly in by the butcher.
