In the end, the army casually fired a few shots, and the bandits immediately cowered. They peed their pants and dragged their families down the mountain to surrender.
As for the fact that there were no red leaves around Hibiscus City, only the maple leaves on Maple Ridge would turn red, this was known to the locals in the surrounding area of Hibiscus City.
The climate in Hibiscus City could not produce red leaves at all. This was because maple leaves only turned red in autumn, and everyone in Hibiscus City knew that there was no autumn.
Summer in Hibiscus City was nearly six months long. After summer, it will be winter. As for the maple leaves on Maple Ridge, they were red because they were a tree species obtained from the northwest. They were different from the native trees in Hibiscus City.
In fact, these maple trees were planted by the bandit suppression army back then.
Maple Ridge was still called Rascal Mountain. The vegetation on the mountain had been made bald by the bandits of previous dynasties.
After the commander of the army finished exterminating the bandits, he felt that this name was not pleasant and might affect the lives of the nearby villagers in the future. After all, it would be a new civilized society in the future. It was really inappropriate for one to introduce themselves and say that they came from the Rascal Mountain.
Coincidentally, the soldiers had planted maple trees all over the mountain, so the commander decided to name it Maple Ridge. However, whether it was because of the tree species or other reasons that caused the maple leaves of Maple Tree Ridge to be red, Skinny Monkey could not be sure.
This was because although the bandits were not killed in Maple Ridge back then, it had been used by the police to execute death row criminals for decades.
This was also the reason why the people nearby were unwilling to enter Maple
Ridge. There was more or less a bit of murderous aura. However, Skinny Monkey was used to running in the mountains after all. He could still withstand this little fear. Especially when he had someone by his side. He suddenly rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, “Who is it?”
Halfway through, Gang Zi turned around at the speed of light and looked at
Skinny Monkey in surprise. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Skinny Monkey pretended to stare at a certain spot and shook his head slightly. “I saw it wrongly.”
“Are you f*cking fooling me?” Gang Zi came back to his senses.
“How can that be?” Skinny Monkey had a serious expression and tried his best to hold back his smile. “You can pee in peace. I’ll keep an eye on your back for you!” he said seriously.
Gang Zi completely understood. He made a gesture that he would settle scores with him later and continued to turn around. With the sound of water, Skinny Monkey turned around with a smug expression.
Previously, Gang Zi was the person who mocked him the most. Now that he saw that the usually bold Gang Zi was frightened by him, he felt extremely comfortable. At this moment, the moon had already come out, and the forest was filled with strange lights. Skinny Monkey casually caught a falling maple leaf and said reluctantly, “Say…”
He had just said something when his voice stopped abruptly. He stood rooted to the ground and stared blankly five meters away. There was a figure enveloped in darkness there. Skinny Monkey could not see the other party’s face clearly. He could only see the other party’s terrifyingly bright eyes under the moonlight.
That pair of eyes was looking at him coldly.
For a moment, Skinny Monkey was in a daze. The moon had just climbed up. The crescent moon was already hazy, illuminating the forest like a ghost realm. The figure stood quietly beside a tree five meters away. His entire body was enveloped in darkness, making him look like a strange silhouette.
The mountain wind blew, and the silhouette seemed to be blown away by the wind.
Cold sweat instantly crawled up Skinny Monkey’s back. Was this shadow a human or a ghost?
It was no wonder he had such doubts. He was timid to begin with. In addition, Maple Ridge was what everyone called the Great Fiend Land. Usually, there were few people around, and only tomb raiders like them were active.
Moreover, it was already late at night, so no one would come. In the wilderness, it was really difficult to think that it was human when a shadow appeared in the middle of the night.
“What are you talking about?” A voice suddenly sounded behind Skinny Monkey. It was Gang Zit s voice.
Skinny Monkey heaved a sigh of relief. He subconsciously glanced at Gang Zi. The latter was still happily peeing. When he heard him say the word, he was about to turn around.
“There’s a ghost!” Skinny Monkey stretched out his trembling hand and pointed in the direction of the black shadow. He looked at Gang Zi expectantly.
“F*ck you!” Gang Zi turned his head halfway and immediately turned back at the speed of light.
“F*ck you, turn around and look!” Skinny Monkey was anxious. Even though Gang Zi was standing less than ten meters away from him, he felt like he was facing immense fear alone. He subconsciously began to retreat weakly step by step.
“See your ass.” Gang Zi replied without hesitation. His neck was like iron, not moving at all.
Skinny Monkey was about to cry from anxiety. He stared fixedly at the black shadow and watched as the other party raised one hand and pointed at him from afar. Then, the shadow seemed to wave its arm slightly, but he could not see anything in the night. There was only the mountain wind.
Skinny Monkey felt that his body suddenly had strength. He suddenly turned around and rushed in Gang Zi’s direction. Gang Zi had just finished peeing when he suddenly heard footsteps rushing over from behind. He subconsciously turned around.
In the next second, Skinny Monkey collided with him and a pair of hands grabbed his shoulders..
