System prompts: Do you want to accept the mission [Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots]?
There was actually a follow-up mission, which was quite a surprise, so I decisively chose to accept it.
"Ding~!"
System prompts: You accept the mission [Eradication] (current mission difficulty is 900). Mission content: Find and try to kill the leader of the horse thieves, and bring his head back as proof to truly eradicate the banditry in the blood-stained land. After completing the mission, you will receive
Generous rewards. Mission tip: There seem to be signs of thieves' activities in the Kushuijing area recently. You might as well go there and have a look.
After accepting the mission, the system automatically gave the approximate coordinates of the horse thief leader, which saved me a lot of searching time.
I pulled out the big map, found the general direction of Kushuijing, and headed towards Kushuijing with my spear on my back.
In less than half an hour, a settlement in the desert appeared in front of us. This settlement was not large in size, with only about a hundred households.
"Ding~!"
System prompt: You found the map [Bitter Water Well].
Approaching Kushuijing, I immediately felt that this place was different from ordinary residential areas. It was filled with an unconcealed gangster spirit inside and outside. There were two men standing guard at the door with scimitars on their backs. It seemed that this place was indeed a real place.
It is the base camp of horse thieves, no wonder the bandit spirit is so strong.
After the two minions saw me, they were stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "That damn adventurer is back again, go tell the boss."
I was depressed. It was obviously my first time to come to this place. After seeing me, those two guys seemed to have met some terrible enemy.
Before I could figure this out, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves in the horse thief's base, accompanied by the whistle of the horse thief. I saw a group of dark horse thieves galloping out of the horse thief's base, riding tall horses.
The knight wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand is probably the leader of this group of horse thieves.
As soon as I saw the spear in the knight's hand, I understood the whole story.
There were so many horse thieves rushing out like a swarm. No matter how capable I was, I couldn't defeat them. I had no choice but to run away.
The horse thieves shouted and chased from behind.
There was an open desert area in front of me. If I kept running like this, I would be overtaken by the opponent in a short time. I was not that stupid. I changed direction with my feet and made a semicircle, running towards the other side of the horse thief's den.
The horse thieves also immediately turned around and chased after me. I rushed to the wall of the horse thieves' den in three steps and two steps at a time, and jumped over the low wall with a flying leap.
"Lower your head, damn adventurer." Two minions inside the wall brandished scimitars and slashed at me.
Unexpectedly, the guy who spoke is still a young literary and artistic young man. When most people meet an enemy and want the other party to die, they usually say "Go to death!" But he just said a classical Chinese sentence "Fow down", and bowing down is also a punishment.
means death.
Of course I can't bow down. On the contrary, I also want their boss to bow down, because their boss's head is still relatively valuable to me now.
I hurriedly crossed the shield to deflect the scimitars of the two minions. The spear in my hand quickly used the ice stabbing skill. The minion on the right was decisively hit, and as a result, my health only dropped by about 20%. It seemed that the horse thieves' den was small.
The minions are more powerful than the horse thieves who go out to rob houses and show their faces. This is the same reason that most of the guards in the palace are more powerful than the soldiers on the front line of the battlefield.
Seeing that the horse thieves behind me were about to cross the low wall, I had no time to struggle with these two minions. I risked being stabbed twice by the other side, so I quickly locked the corner of a stone house in front of me and launched a charge.
Two big miss words floated from his forehead in succession. With good luck, he charged away the two minions and also missed their attacks.
The two minions roared, turned around and chased me with their scimitars waving.
The next moment their shouts were choked in their throats, and they were trampled to pulp by the iron hooves of the large group of horse thieves who came later.
The corner of my mouth twitched. The riding skills of these horse thieves were really unflattering. If I were caught up by them, I might end up like those two thieves.
Horse thieves are very fast, especially on hard ground paved with stone slabs. Their speed is at least 30% faster than on soft sand.
I didn't care so much, turned around, opened a closed wooden door next to me, and stepped inside.
In the dim light, a little boy wielded a scimitar and slashed at me. With a sound of "Clang!", the blade of the scimitar wiped out a dim spark on my breastplate and floated on my forehead.
Less than double digit damage figures.
I glanced at the horse thief kid and saw the fear in his eyes.
I knocked out the little boy who was a horse thief with a shield. This kind of evil boy who has inherited his father's business since he was a child will be a disaster in his life. However, this matter seems to be out of my control. I am only responsible for killing those adult horse thieves.
There were continuous sounds of footsteps landing outside the door. The people in the stone house were too short for the horse thieves to rush in on horseback, so they had to dismount and walk.
I glanced at the inner room of the stone house, and there was light coming in from the window. It seemed that this stone house was not a place to stay for a long time. If I guarded the door, those horse thieves would definitely climb in through the window and attack me.
Thinking of this, I immediately ran to the back room and quickly passed through the window.
Just as I jumped out of the window, four or five horse thieves turned out from the other side of the corner. At this time, they had all dismounted and rushed towards me with scimitars in their hands.
Not daring to fight, I smashed the wooden window of another stone house opposite with one shot, and got in before those horse thieves could reach me.
An old woman hit me with a cane and smashed my helmet with a loud bang. The family members of these horse thieves really had the same hatred towards me.
I guess I am the only player in the game who has been chased by monsters like rats crossing the street. It is said that this is all caused by Pi Tangzhang. Of course, if the causal loop relationship is carefully calculated, I am also responsible for this matter.
I knocked the horse-thief old woman unconscious with my shield again, and stepped over her. This vicious-hearted old woman may have done bad things, but this matter is also not my responsibility. I am only responsible for killing those people.
A horse thief in his prime.
I changed several stone houses in succession, knocked out the family members of several horse thieves along the way, and finally successfully got rid of those horse thieves.
Although they will definitely search the entire den to find my hiding place, they must disperse the people to start the search. Once the people are dispersed, I will be safe. As long as I can stay here until night, I promise to
This den of sin stirred up chaos.
The ratio of game time to real time is 1:4. According to this ratio, it will get dark in the game in just one hour, and during this hour, I happened to be offline to eat, take a break, go to the toilet, etc.
I said hello to Lin Jingran and asked her to go offline to eat. Lin Jingran didn’t know what she was busy with, so she hurriedly replied: "Help me pack."
I went to the small restaurant downstairs and ordered some fast food for myself, but I helped Lin Jieran pack a pot of spicy bullfrog, a plate of green vegetables and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
You can be stingy with yourself, but you must be generous to your family and friends. These are my consumption values, and I probably won’t be able to change them in this life.
After dinner, I took the things I had packed for Lin Lingran back. Seeing that it was still early, I leisurely read the newspaper on the sofa with my feet up.
Lin Jingran is a girl who is busy playing games every day and has no time to read newspapers. However, she still insists on ordering a local evening newspaper.
For this reason, I once doubted her motive for ordering newspapers. Was it because the guy responsible for delivering newspapers in this area looked too much like Professor Du? Lin Lonely scoffed at this and told me that as a descendant of a businessman
, you must develop the habit of reading newspapers every day, so that you can keep abreast of the latest national and local economic policies. And she also told me that for many reports, you only need to read the headlines, not the content. After reading such a newspaper, it is actually
It doesn't take much time to talk.
As a migrant worker, I am not yet at the level where I care about national economic policies, so when I have time to read newspapers, I am more concerned about social news and entertainment gossip.
There is quite a lot of content in today’s newspapers.
"240 people who lost their only child went to Beijing to apply for state compensation, saying they could not afford the risks of family planning." This topic is too heavy to comment on.
Continue to the next article: “A veteran of the Volunteer Army left for Argentina to become the president’s brother-in-law and owns 600,000 acres of land.”
This is definitely a classic case of diaosi's counterattack. It's a pity that I write about online games, otherwise this would definitely be a good subject.
"Chinese fishermen stopped at the Nansha Islands to avoid strong winds and waves, but were asked to leave by foreign military forces."
tnnd don’t treat the lives of our people as human lives. If I become the president of the country, I will send troops to beat her hard until she is completely convinced.
Of course, a guy with little knowledge like me will never be the president of the country in ten lifetimes, so I won’t have the chance to send troops to attack others.
"The three siblings took care of their mother for 9 years without getting married."
There are very few filial young people like this nowadays, but I don't understand. Is there any conflict between taking care of your mother and getting married?
After reading the entire report in detail, it turned out that the article only mentioned the paralysis of the mother of the three siblings. It was not clear why they could not get married while taking care of their mother. Now these reporters...
…
At this time, Lin Jingran pushed the door open and came out of the room. When he saw the newspaper in my hand, he smiled and said, "You idiot, you are so leisurely, why are you reading the newspaper?"
"Hey, I was just blind."
"You can only read newspapers blindly. Reading them carefully is a waste of time."
I deeply agreed with what she said, pointed to the food on the coffee table and said, "Well, you eat first, I'm online."
"Why don't we eat some together?" Lin Jieran picked up a bullfrog leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
I said: "No, it's almost time. I want to go online and kill a boss first."
