At the door of the stable, Bai Xiaowen used the Return of the Dead skill, ordered the shadow assassin to lurk into the stable, and delivered some violent surprises to a dozen war horses.
"What kind of medicine did you take?" Li Shuyi asked in a low voice.
"Kerela thistle bean powder is a level 3 laxative," Bai Xiaowen said. "It has the same effect as croton. It can keep these horses hungry all night... Level 3 laxatives are of no use to these mid-to-high-level bandits, but horses
It’s impossible to resist.”
Kerela Thistle Bean Powder is a psychic item that contains psychic particles, so it can be brought into the spirit world. In fact, Bai Xiaowen prepared a lot of specially made poisons for this entry, but the level is not more than level 4.
Intermediate and high-level monsters don't have much use.
Using poison on monsters in the spirit world and wilderness areas to weaken the opponent will not cause a reduction in the combat score, nor will the value of the loot be reduced.
However, this also has a premise, that is, the direct cause of the opponent's poisoning is yourself. If the opponent is poisoned by unrelated factors and his strength decreases, the value of the loot will still shrink.
After adding fuel to the war horses of the Black Wind Bandit Group, Bai Xiaowen recalled the shadow assassin and other summoned creatures, and lurked outside the mine with Li Shuyi.
At midnight, two strong robbers standing guard at the entrance of the mine walked crookedly towards a shack not far away. After a while, the sounds of scolding and kicking came from the shack, and then two new men came.
The strong robber walked out of the shack, rubbing his sleepy eyes, peed first, and then went to change the guard.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had already ducked into the mine.
Li Shuyi's agility has reached 31 points. Although Bai Xiaowen has a mental specialty, his agility value is also 15 points. When sneaking in carefully, there is no sound at all. There is no problem in deceiving these bandits with low perception.
The mine is relatively spacious, with a diameter of more than three meters, which is enough to accommodate many people walking side by side. Every ten meters or so on the cave wall, there is a wall lamp. The dim light can barely make people see the road clearly, so that they will not be confused one by one.
Lost between forks.
The tunnels of the Cliff Iron Mine have been excavated since the days when Baishi Town was still Baishi Ling. It has been excavated for who knows how many years now. It is not surprising that there is a tunnel of this size.
It was now nighttime, and most of the robbers in the mine were resting. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen and the two would not be discovered as long as they did not make any obvious noise while walking in the tunnel.
Of course, accidents would occasionally happen. A tall and strong robber, as if he was suffering from sleepwalking, suddenly walked out of the stone room at the corner, wandered to the wall opposite the stone room, and started to urinate.
Li Shuyi gently covered her nose. Bai Xiaowen was also speechless for a while. He finally understood where the smell in the cave came from.
A series of ancient Latin curses sounded.
"Kits! You lazy pig, peeing in the hole again! If Boss Ian finds out, he will definitely cut off your little earthworms!"
The big man named Kitz was peeing happily, and he laughed and said: "This damn weather, it's so cold outside, I want to sleep a little longer... And, Herman, you have to remember, I
That’s not a small earthworm, it’s a big python!”
When Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi encountered this unexpected situation, they could only hide in the dark with their backs bent, waiting for the big man named Kits to finish urinating and go back to sleep.
Bai Xiaowen used another insight and discovered that the robbers in the cave were indeed stronger than those outside the cave. For example, Kitts in front of him was a level 5 elite!
After Kitts finished urinating, he shook his head (beep), tied up his trousers, and cursed: "I don't know what the boss is thinking. He treats this damn place as a camp. Without girls, even my big boa constrictor will have nothing to do."
It's itchy. Why not rush to the lord's mansion and chop off that little brat that doesn't have all its hair? The boss will be the lord and we will enjoy the blessings, eat meat and sleep in a big bed. If you want to play with the girls, go get one, isn't it?
Not happy."
Herman's voice came: "Are you stupid, Kitts? It's easy to hack that little lord to death, but how much do you know about the serious consequences? This is tantamount to openly provoking the empire! Do you want to attract an encirclement and suppression by the imperial army?
I still want to live a few more days."
Kitts muttered: "I'm just talking casually... But, Herman, I heard that Boss Ian caught a little girl yesterday, and she's quite beautiful?"
"Well, that's what happened."
"Do you think Boss Ian has..." Kitts's voice was full of obscenity.
Herman denied: "No, that little girl has been kept in the mine to the north, and old Matt is responsible for guarding her."
"Boss Ian is not interested in her?" Kitts was eager to give it a try, "Herman, do we two brothers want to go have some fun?"
"Don't hold me back if you want to die. Boss Ian said no one is allowed to touch that girl." Herman yawned. "I'm going to bed. It's still early before dawn. Kitts, if you are not afraid of death, you
Just go ahead, it won't be as simple as cutting off the little earthworms."
The expressions of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi changed at the same time. They both received prompt information about the rules of the spirit world:
"You learned from the characters in the plot that there are hostages being held in the cliff mine."
"[Side Mission: Rescue] is started."
"Mission goal: rescue the hostages in the northern mine of the Cliff Mine."
"Task Difficulty: a."
"Task reward: unknown."
"Task duration: 2 hours."
Li Shuyi whispered: "It's another side mission. It only lasts 2 hours. Do you want to take it?"
"Take it," Bai Xiaowen said, "This mission has no conflict with our goals, and there is no mission penalty. You can do it casually."
After both of them chose to accept the task, Li Shuyi was about to find a way to the northern mine, but was held back by Bai Xiaowen.
"Don't worry about the hostage for now. Since the Black Wind bandits have said not to touch her, she is safe for the time being. If we go to rescue her first, we will inevitably conflict with the guards and arouse the alert of the bandits. Let's raid and kill her now.
Ian, the boss of the Black Wind Bandit Group, swept through the entire cliff mine and then rescued the hostages. This is the only way to go with the flow and get twice the result with half the effort!"
The two of them moved forward in the dark.
The interior of the cliff mine is tortuous and difficult to navigate, and the tunnels are connected to each other, like a maze. In a dark environment, it is easy to take the wrong path and lose your direction.
However, Bai Xiaowen relied on his abnormally strong memory. He clearly remembered how many steps he took in each section of the tunnel! Although his vision was dim, there was a picture in his heart that was constantly extending and constantly being explored and perfected.
With the topographic map, there is no chance of getting lost.
Soon, the two arrived at the main pit of the Cliff Mine.
Standing at the end of the tunnel and looking down at the main mine below, this mine is very large, almost like an underground hall. There are more than a dozen torches lit on the four walls of the mine, illuminating the huge mine like daylight.
At the northernmost part of the mine, there is a simple stone bed, two meters long and wide. A slender man with fair complexion is lying on the stone bed, his armor-clad chest rising and falling slightly, and he is snoring slightly. Beside him
, escorted by two strong robbers.
In addition, there are several thin servants with only level 2 and 3 standard template strength, who are busy washing and washing. The whole mine looks quite tidy, which should be the credit of these servants.
Bai Xiaowen had an insight into the fair-skinned man on the stone bed.
"This pretty boy is the boss of the Black Wind Bandits, Ian?" Bai Xiaowen looked at Li Shuyi in surprise.
"Level 6 leader, it seems that he is right. Look at him, he doesn't take off his armor even when sleeping, how awesome he is." Li Shuyi said.
"..."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
In another time and space, Bai Xiaowen had also read some time-travel novels with a Western fantasy background. Which of the leaders of the thieves in them was not tall and thick, with black and hard chest hair, and snoring like thunder? How could such a pretty boy be able to hold his own?
, there must be two brushes.
After all, he is among a group of extremely vicious bandits. If he is a little weak, not to mention his position as the boss, he might even lose his position.
Speaking of the issue of painting style, Bai Xiaowen had to complain about why in the fantasy time travel novels he read, every young lord has a loyal old butler who has served two generations, but here, he only has Qiao Qiao.
Bu, this big fat guy who eats everything inside and outside...
Bai Xiaowen's thoughts wandered for 0.1 seconds, and then came back.
"How to fight?" Li Shuyi asked.
"This is a defensive boss, with high strength and physique, and a control-removing skill," Bai Xiaowen said. "The boss itself is not difficult to deal with. However, there are two level 7 elite guards beside him, both of whom are special in strength.
The output type is more troublesome."
Bai Xiaowen took inventory of the props he owned and took out the bottle of [Powerful Life Toxin] obtained from the leader of the rat pack, Gray Ear.
This bottle of [Powerful Life Toxin] is a toxin that directly deducts life. The target will lose 20% of its maximum health within 5 seconds. However, when facing high-level and high-template enemies, the toxin effect will be reduced.
But even if the effect will be compromised, it must be used now.
Bai Xiaowen chose to quench the poison for the Shadow Assassin's weapon, and said softly: "The old method is to let the Shadow Assassin lurk over, hit a double attack and then we will attack the monster. For the boss and two high-level elites, use a split and encirclement strategy, kill the elites first
, then destroy the boss and try to trick him into using his control-removing skills."
After the 30-second prop cooling time, Bai Xiaowen quenched the poison of Li Shuyi's refined stabbing sword and used up all 2 uses of this bottle of [Powerful Life Toxin].
Wow, Bai Xiaowen summoned the group of summoned creatures that came with the Black Soul Stone again.
The two high-ranking elite bandits seemed to be aware of it and looked up.
However, at this time, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, as well as the Skeleton Blade Shielder and the Skeleton Mage, had all taken a few steps back to avoid the sight of the mine, while the Shadow Assassin entered a latent state and walked slowly towards the inside of the mine. The two senior
The elite bandits were not noticed.
The two bandit guards quickly turned their attention. In this late night, it was impossible for them to stay focused.
The shadow assassin quietly came behind the bandit guard.
Tsk!
Blood splattered, and blood flowers exploded from the back of a bandit guard. The critical hit and the vital attack directly caused 60 points of damage, and it also had a severe bleeding effect, as well as a percentage deduction effect of the powerful life poison.
!
"Enemy attack!"
The bandit guard who was attacked roared. And with his roar, a group of skeleton soldiers came over!
The skeleton army jumped down from the mine like dumplings under the Raging Claw, and joined the battle brandishing iron knives and claws. The target of their siege was surprisingly the level 7 elite bandit who was attacked by the Shadow Assassin and whose health was drastically reduced!
Bai Xiaowen discovered that the level 7 elite bandit had a very high health. He endured the effects of bleeding and poisoning for five seconds and still survived with about 50% of his health.
Bai Xiaowen didn't give him a chance to bandage his wounds, and ordered to summon creatures to join the siege. However, the injured bandit had no intention of bandaging, and suddenly drew out a broad-edged sword, slashing left and right with unstoppable force.
Li Shuyi passed by with a sword, a continuous slashing skill, and stabbed the injured robber at high speed.
However, this sword was blocked by a cross shield shining with silver light.
Bang!
The bandit leader Ian woke up. He was always wearing armor. He carried a one-handed warhammer in his right hand and a cross shield on his left arm to join the battle group. He was very powerful and suddenly jumped out after blocking Li Shuyi's stabbing attack.
Li Shuyi immediately staggered back.
"Who are you? Why did you come to attack us!" Ian said in a deep voice.
"I want to ask you, what good things have been done in the Baishi Silver Mine?"
Bai Xiaowen raised the Desert Eagle and pointed the black muzzle downwards. With a bang, he interrupted the injured bandit who was trying to bandage the wound. The bullet, which was bound to hit critically and produced 250% headshot damage, directly killed the injured bandit.
The elite bandit guard was beaten until he knelt on the ground, and his health points were greatly reduced, with only less than a hundred points left!
Ian was angry, but strangely, he did not attack immediately, but tried to reason:
"Are you sent by Red Leaf Lord Ma Qi? Is it because I attacked the White Rock Silver Mine? The contract did not state that this place cannot be attacked!"
After a pause, Ian said: "You guys retreat immediately. I can pretend that nothing happened and will not attack the Baishi Silver Mine again! Go back and tell Ma Qi that the contract between me and him is still valid..."
Hearing Ian's repeated revelations, Bai Xiaowen immediately became energetic, but it was impossible for him to retreat. In fact, Bai Xiaowen raised his hand very neatly and shot the injured robber again.
Ian was on guard against this shot, and crossed his shield to block the bullet.
"What on earth are you trying to do? You are provoking a war!"
The injured elite bandit said in a muffled voice: "Boss, these guys are not from March. They have dealt a deadly blow to me, and there is no room for relaxation at all!"
