Ji Mu looked at Li Chenqiu blankly.
He wasn't stupid; how could he not understand what Li Chenqiu meant?
"That…" Ji Mu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, "That's the Fierce Tiger Gang, shouldn't we avoid them?"
Li Chenqiu turned his head and gave Ji Mu a reassuring smile: "It's okay, they can't beat me."
"This…"
Ji Mu stammered, unable to speak for a long time.
When he saw Li Chenqiu's smile, he felt a special warmth surging in his chest, spreading to every part of his body, dispelling the night's coldness.
Zhou Qinshu reached out and put his hand on Ji Mu's shoulder: "Don't worry, Brother Li is very strong, you don't have to worry. Can't we have seventh-level experts walking all over the place in this prison, and sixth-level experts being treated like dogs?"
Under Zhou Qinshu's comfort, Ji Mu gradually calmed down and slowly accepted the fact that Li Chenqiu was very strong.
On the way, Xiang Nanzhi poked Li Chenqiu and whispered:
"You don't have any Spiritual Xuan Weapons now, and even with that fire ability, you can probably only fight the weakest sixth-level expert. What if the ones blocking you are the stronger sixth-level experts? Are you counting on me to take action?"
Li Chenqiu smiled faintly: "How do you know that what you see is all of me?"
Xiang Nanzhi's clear eyes suddenly brightened, and she sized Li Chenqiu up and down: "What are you hiding?"
Li Chenqiu spread his hands, speechless: "I've already hidden it, how can I tell you?"
Xiang Nanzhi put her hands on her hips and raised her voice: "Hey, is the son too old to listen to his father's discipline?"
Li Chenqiu chuckled: "There's always a son who wants to be a father."
"You…"
……
……
Time passed slowly, and the group got closer and closer to the exit.
The cement road leading directly to the exit was empty. The prisoners were either walking or standing on both sides of the road.
Standing on the road and looking straight ahead, you could see a large dark mass of people. Those were the people from the Fierce Tiger Gang, and also the location of the passage between the fourth and third districts.
Li Chenqiu and the others walked alone on this road, particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
"Are these people crazy? Can't they see the people at the end of the road?"
"They're really not afraid of death. Hey, the front is wuu wuu wuu…"
"Is your brain broken? They're not blind, how could they not see them? The Fierce Tiger Gang is probably waiting for them!"
"This is screwed. They're going to die young in prison. What a pity!"
The prisoners didn't deliberately lower their voices when they were talking, and Zhou Qinshu, who was walking in the middle of the road, heard every word.
When he heard the very conspicuous words "prison overlord, local emperor, and having immense power," his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This… is the Fierce Tiger Gang really that strong?" Zhou Qinshu muttered to himself.
Xiang Nanzhi heard the voice and turned her head curiously: "What's wrong? You don't know about the Fierce Tiger Gang?"
Zhou Qinshu shook his head blankly: "No one told me about it."
"The Fierce Tiger Gang is…" Ji Mu spent several tens of seconds roughly explaining to Zhou Qinshu what kind of existence the Fierce Tiger Gang was.
"This… that's too exaggerated!" Zhou Qinshu's mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were full of horror.
"It's not exaggerated, it's actually like that," Ji Mu replied seriously.
Zhou Qinshu swallowed his saliva, stepped forward and grabbed Li Chenqiu's arm: "Brother Li, let's run back, this Fierce Tiger Gang sounds a little scary!"
Li Chenqiu lowered his eyes and looked at Zhou Qinshu: "Weren't you very confident in my strength just now?"
Zhou Qinshu earnestly advised: "Confidence is confidence, but a strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. We still have to take the entrance exam in prison, so it's better not to offend these local snakes. What if they secretly trip us up, then…"
Li Chenqiu pulled out his arm and looked calmly ahead: "We've already offended them, what's the point of worrying about this."
At the same time, Nie Bang also saw Li Chenqiu and the others, and his sharp gaze collided directly with Li Chenqiu's.
The two were a hundred meters apart, just looking at each other without squinting.
"Hahaha, this kid even called for backup!"
"Just a bunch of rabble, no matter how many come, they're just a bunch of rabble, they can't make it to the stage!"
"But he's commendable for his courage. Knowing that we're here to block him, he still dares to come over!"
The Fierce Tiger Gang members ridiculed, not showing the slightest nervousness in their expressions.
"Strange."
Nie Bang tilted his head and rubbed his chest in confusion.
After seeing Li Chenqiu and his group, he didn't know why, but he always felt a chill in his chest.
"The weather is getting colder and colder. I have to add more clothes in the future." Nie Bang tightened the clothes on his body, then raised his hand and waved to the people behind him: "Let's go, teach these kids some rules!"
"Okay!"
Everyone shouted in unison, the sound waves gathered together, like muffled drumbeats,激荡out in all directions,震的the onlookers' hearts trembled, and they subconsciously stepped back.
"Follow me!"
Nie Bang raised his axe and strode forward.
The crowd followed closely behind, the messy and dense footsteps like tightly arranged drumbeats, urgent and terrifying!
From a distance, it looked like dark clouds pressing down, with great visual impact!
"Damn it!" Zhou Qinshu shrank timidly behind Li Chenqiu: "Why is this like filming a movie!"
Xiang Nanzhi put his hands in his pockets and retorted without looking back: "How is it like a movie? If it were a movie, this kind of scene would have BGM…"
Before Xiang Nanzhi could finish speaking, deafening music came from the Fierce Tiger Gang's ranks.
Dong dong… ba ba… dong dong… ba ba… dong dong dong ba ba… dong dong… ba ba……
Xiang Nanzhi: (ˉ▽ˉ；)...
Twenty-four crows lined up in four teams, flying neatly over the heads of the four people.
"Cough cough!" Li Chenqiu coughed lightly and instructed Xiang Nanzhi: "Protect them, I'll be enough."
After speaking, without waiting for Xiang Nanzhi to reply, Li Chenqiu walked straight towards the Fierce Tiger Gang.
Xiang Nanzhi's raised hand awkwardly changed angle and smoothed his hair.
He turned his head to look at Zhou Qinshu and Ji Mu and said, "You protect each other, Li Chenqiu and I will be enough."
After speaking, without waiting for the two to reply, Xiang Nanzhi followed Li Chenqiu's footsteps and walked towards the Fierce Tiger Gang.
Under the gaze of the onlookers, Li Chenqiu stopped fifty meters away from Nie Bang and his group, indifferently looking at Nie Bang, who was in the lead.
"Stop!"
Nie Bang raised his arm and shouted loudly.
His thick and powerful voice overwhelmed the BGM and stopped everyone from advancing.
Nie Bang pointed his axe at Li Chenqiu and said in a contemptuous tone: "You have a lot of guts, daring to snatch people from our Fierce Tiger Gang."
"What?" Li Chenqiu chuckled: "You can steal from others with peace of mind, but I can't steal from you? What kind of logic is that? Who made the rules?"
