How to effectively break through now?

Based on her witch doctor attribute and high affinity with Yin creatures, it is not difficult to tell the truth.

Chen Baiqi shook the rainwater from her hair, and the water stains slid coldly across her cheeks. The rain gradually became smaller. In the dark night, with the help of the weak light from the eaves, it could be seen that there was drizzle in the sky, the thin rain.

Falling diagonally.

The system explained before that these mutated rats raised by humans like to eat carrion, so she will provide them with some "delicious food" for free.

She put Ju down and let him lean against the colonnade, then took out a piece of fresh venison from the "system package", which was still stained with blood. This was what she put into the "system package" when she was hunting in Wei State.

Using the "power of the evil witch" to circle around the meat, the milky black mist swallowed up the fresh meat as soon as it touched it. The fresh meat quickly became rotten and shriveled, and in the blink of an eye it looked like smoked and air-dried old bacon.

.

Then she added some ingredients to the piece of carrion, and then threw the arm-long piece of venison towards the pile of mice.

Immediately, the group of giant rats raised their forelimbs and came upon hearing the wind. At that moment, hundreds of rats rushed towards the carrion like a gray carpet.

Have a great time.

As soon as Chen Baiqi saw that a path had been cleared in front of her feet for walking, he immediately turned around and walked across it quickly.

When she quickly walked out of the already deserted house, she suddenly felt something. When she turned around, she was surprised to see a dark figure crouching on the wall of the house.

This figure looks like a black cat hunting at night, with long and thin limbs, a high curved back, and hands on its feet.

Chen Baiqi looked over in surprise, and a pair of eyes that glowed red at night seemed to flash before his eyes. Before he could recognize it, the figure glanced in her direction, turned around, jumped off the wall and disappeared.

who?

Chen Baiqi paused for a moment, having doubts and speculations in his heart, but did not pursue this suspicious figure. One of the reasons was that it was inconvenient for her to move with a heavy bag on her back. In addition, the most important thing at the moment was to find out what happened in Baihe Cave in the east city.

Everyone in the house disappeared quietly, and the system prompted that something happened in Baihe Cave. It was difficult for her not to wonder whether there was any relationship between the two.

Chen Baiqi had the bonus of Qilin Pupils and night vision. She ran all the way according to the route indicated on the "regional map". The road was full of darkness, but she did not encounter any strange things along the way.

Just when she arrived near the White Crane Cave in Dongcheng, suddenly, a white light flashed across the sky, and the loud thunder sounded in the distance again.

Due to the sudden appearance of the huge lightning, the dark sky and the earth were illuminated for a moment. When Chen Baiqi raised his eyes, he clearly saw someone in the ruins of the old city not far away.

And there are quite a few!

Among the piles of ruined buildings, some of them fell asleep leaning against the low wall, some were holding their relatives and crying, some were gathering together to discuss, and some were alone and indifferent...

There were some gray fires burning in the corners of the ruins. In the cold rainy night, the light refracted by various objects formed all kinds of strange shapes, and the people here were also the same. Among them were old and young, male and female. Judging from their clothing,

There are also different classes and statuses. We are not all from the same place. There are farmers, commoners, businessmen, scholars, wanderers, craftsmen...

It looks like everyone in the city is gathered here.

The predecessor of Baihedong is the former site of Bincheng, located on the edge of the East City. There are no people living here on weekdays, and there are no commercial streets. It is usually idle and abandoned. Only refugees from other places who have no household registration, no money, and no place to stay will temporarily settle here.

Therefore, it should not and cannot be that so many people gathered in such a place, not to mention that it rained heavily tonight. They refused to hide and stayed in this shady ruins, no matter how they looked at the situation.

So right.

Although Chen Baiqi was doubtful in his heart, he did not go over immediately. Instead, he hid in the dark and observed it.

Ding--

System: Main mission (1) The city is in danger. The situation is urgent. Something unusual seems to have happened in Bin City. Please arrive at Baihe Cave in Dongcheng within the specified time limit (30 minutes) to investigate the situation. Congratulations to the character, the mission is successfully completed.

Mission reward: 50,000 experience points, beautiful embroidered skirt*1 (white dress), general currency*1,000.

Ding--

System: Main mission (2) Danger City, you saw a group of people gathering in the ruins of Baihe Cave in the middle of the night. You felt something was fishy and decided to go find someone to find out. Accept/reject?

Chen Baiqi chose "accept".

Just after "accepting" it, I saw ten green dots suddenly marked on the Baihe Cave ruins on the "regional map". Each of these ten green dots flashed three times and then stabilized in their respective directions.

These ten green dots caught Chen Baiqi's attention. She looked at each green dot and saw that there was a name marked on it. Then she looked at the others whose markings were yellow and had no names.

Chen Bai thought about it, could these ten people refer to his own friendly forces?

But then she thought about it, it couldn't be right. She didn't recognize the names of these ten people at all. She was not acquainted with them. In addition, the main task (2) said that she should go find someone to find out. It should be referring to these people.

Ten people can provide her with corresponding clues, so they are very likely to be NPCs selected by the system to ask questions.

Since he had to go there to ask questions, it was naturally inconvenient for Chen Baiqi to carry Ju on his back, so he temporarily placed him in a haystack in the back kitchen of a private house. This place was protected from rain and relatively hidden, making it difficult for people to discover him.

Since both of them were wet, Chen Baiqi pretended to enter the house and search it, but in fact he took some items from the system package.

She got Ju a set of men's clothes to change into. Unfortunately, these men's clothes were all customized according to "Chen Huanxian's" body shape, and they were obviously too small for Ju, so she changed his upper body into wet clothes and put them on casually.

, and took a thin quilt to cover him to prevent him from freezing.

And she changed into a set of dry clothes, which was the "beautiful embroidered skirt" that was rewarded in the mission just now. This cloth skirt had no special bonus, it was just an ordinary well-made blue skirt with lilies embroidered on the skirt.

The white floral skirt at the bottom, although it doesn't look elegant or luxurious, does have a feeling of fresh lilies from the mountains.

Chen Baiqi casually pulled his hair into a bun, put on his silver shorts, and sneaked into them through the stone walls in the ruins. These people were immersed in their own worlds and did not notice the extra

A she.

According to the system prompts, she randomly selected a green dot character with "Zhang San" written on it.

System: Zhang San, a pickpocket in Bincheng, known as Sanshou, specializes in stealing and stealing.

At this time, this Zhang San was holding a chicken coop on his head, his trousers were not too long, and he was wearing tattered straw sandals. He was curled up next to a stone with his legs crossed, feeling sleepy.

Chen Baiqi squatted in front of him, woke him up, and asked: Why did so many people gather in Baihe Cave late at night?

Zhang San was woken up by someone, and his face was not very good. He had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and looked powerful and cunning. He gritted his teeth and glanced at Chen Baiqi. The face of the girl who woke him up in the dark seemed to be glowing white.

It's a pity that Zhang San doesn't like beauties. He turned his head and continued sleeping without answering.

System: Unprofitable, Zhang San refuses to answer any of your questions.

Chen Baiqi: "..."

Well, this NPC seems to have quite a personality.

Since he is a pickpocket, he is naturally greedy for money.

She silently took out a piece of gold cake and placed it in front of Zhang San.

Zhang San's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately turned over and sat up. He grabbed the gold cake and put it into his arms. He hugged his chest tightly and took a step back, as if he was afraid that Chen Baiqi would regret it and grab it.

He looked at Chen Baiqi, with both surprise and consideration, and said: "Your sister-in-law looks at Yan Sheng, I'm afraid she's not from Bincheng. Although I don't know what you want to ask, I don't know much. I just

I know someone knocked me unconscious, and when I woke up, I was here."

Caught?

"Do you know who did it?"

"How long have you been in this ruins?"

"Are all the people here arrested?"

Zhang San scratched his head as he listened to the girl opposite's questions one after another, but he couldn't tell the whole story for a long time.

When Chen Baiqi saw him like this, he knew that he probably didn't know either. He just wanted to be greedy for money, so he refused to tell the truth.

That’s it, let’s try another target.

She didn't want to attract attention, so she walked late at night, and before anyone around her noticed her, she found the second NPC, a scholar holding a bamboo scroll in his hand, looking up to the sky and sighing in the drizzle.

System: A down-and-out scholar. Although he has no talent, he has lofty ambitions. Unfortunately, his talent has always been ignored...

Breeze on both sleeves?

That means having no money.

Thinking about how she had been rejected when she asked someone for questioning, she took the initiative to take a piece of gold cake and handed it over.

"Mr. Sir, may I ask you something?"

With a gentle smile and a polite look on her face, she said,

But the scholar didn't accept it. Not only did he not accept it, he pinched the scroll and glared at her with an angry look, then walked away.

Chen Baiqi was at a loss.

System: The scholar felt that you were insulting him with gold and silver, so he glared at you and expressed his unwillingness to talk to such vulgar people.

Chen Baiqi: "..."

Okay! This is another NPC with great personality!

Seeing that the down-and-out scholar was offended by her and left, Chen Baiqi had no choice but to replace him with a third one. This person was specially selected by her from among the remaining people. He was a merchant selling groceries.

System: Grocery store owner, a gentleman loves money and acquires it wisely. Although he is greedy for money, he also values ​​credit. He believes that his constant source of customers comes from his tireless deception.

This time Chen Baiqi didn't directly throw money at people. Firstly, it was strange that she came out with too much money dressed as a country girl. Secondly, she met someone with strong integrity, so she might have offended someone.

But it was difficult to strike up a conversation without a gift. As the saying goes, the person who takes advantage of others has short hands and the mouth is short, so she decided to give gifts in a more tactful way.

This time she held a pair of boots and walked over to ask the grocer.

"Sir, I wonder if I can barter?"
