At the gate of the stable, Bai Xiaowen used the return of the dead skill, ordered the shadow assassin to lurk into the stable and gave some strong material to more than a dozen war horses.
"What medicine did you take?" Li Shuyi asked in a low voice.
"Kerry''s artichoke bean powder is a level 3 laxative," Bai Xiaowen said. "It''s similar to Croton''s effect. It can make these horses diarrhea all night... Level 3 laxative is of no use to these middle and high-level robbers, but horses can''t resist it."
Kerry artichoke bean powder is a psionic item. It contains psionic particles, so it can be brought into the spirit world. In fact, Bai Xiaowen prepared many special poisons for this entry, but the level is no more than level 4, which is not very useful for medium and high-level monsters.
Using poison on spirit monsters and monsters in the wilderness will weaken the opponent''s strength, and will not reduce the battle score or shrink the value of the booty.
However, there is also a premise that the direct cause of each other''s poisoning is himself. If the other party is poisoned by irrelevant factors and the strength decreases, the value of booty will still shrink.
After feeding the horses of the Heifeng bandits, Bai Xiaowen recalled the shadow assassin and other summoned creatures, and Li Shuyi ambushed outside the mine.
At midnight, two robbers and strong men standing guard at the entrance of the mine walked askew to a shack not far away. Not long after, the sound of scolding and kicking came from the shack. Then two new robbers came out of the shack, rubbed their bleary eyes, peed first, and then went to change posts.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had already slipped into the mine.
Li Shuyi''s agility has reached 31 points. Although Bai Xiaowen is a spiritual specialty, his agility value also has 15 points. Under the condition of careful sneaking in, there is no sound at all. There is no problem fooling these robbers with low perception.
The mine is spacious, with a diameter of more than three meters, which is enough to accommodate many people and walk in line. There is a wall lamp on the cave wall every ten meters or so. The dim yellow light can make people barely recognize the road, so as not to get lost at the fork intersections.
The cave of the cliff iron mine has been excavated since Baishi town was Baishi collar. I don''t know how many years it has been excavated. It''s no surprise to have a tunnel of this scale.
It was night and most of the robbers in the mine were resting. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen will not be found as long as they walk in the tunnel without making an obvious sound.
Of course, there will be accidents occasionally. A tall and strong robber, like a sleepwalker, suddenly came out of the stone chamber at the corner, staggered to the root of the wall opposite the stone chamber and began to pee.
Li Shuyi gently covered her nose. Bai Xiaowen was also speechless for a while. He finally understood how the Sao flavor in the cave came.
A series of Latin curses rang out.
"Kitts! You lazy pig peed in the hole again! If boss Ian knew, he would cut off your little earthworm!"
The big man named Kitts peed. When he was happy, he said with a smile: "it''s so cold outside. I want to sleep more... And Herman, remember, I''m not a little earthworm, but a python!"
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had to hide in the dark, waiting for the big man named Kitts to pee and go back to bed.
Bai Xiaowen showed another insight and found that the robbers in the cave were stronger than those outside the cave. For example, in front of Kitts, he is a level 5 elite!
Then Kitts shook (Beep) after he peed, tied his trouser belt and scolded: "I don''t know what the boss thinks. Take this ghost place as a camp. Without women, my boa constrictors are itching at leisure. It''s better to rush to the Lord''s house and cut down the baby who hasn''t even grown up. The boss is the Lord. Let''s enjoy ourselves, eat meat and sleep in a big bed. If you want to play, go and have one."
Herman''s voice came: "are you stupid, Kitts? It''s easy to kill that little Lord, but how much do you know the serious consequences? This is tantamount to openly provoking the Empire! Do you want to attract the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army? I want to live a few more days."
Kitts muttered, "I just say it casually... But Herman, I heard that boss Ian caught a little girl yesterday. It''s pretty?"
"Well, there''s such a thing."
"Do you think boss Ian has..." Kitts''s voice was full of obscenity.
Herman denied: "no, the little girl has been locked up in the North Mine and guarded by old Matt."
"Boss Ian is not interested in her?" Kitts was eager to try. "Herman, do you want us two brothers to have a good time?"
"If you want to die, don''t hold me. Boss Ian said, no one can move that chick," Herman yawned. "I''m going to bed. It''s still early before dawn. Kitts, if you''re not afraid of death, go. It''s not as easy as cutting off the little earthworm."
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi''s faces changed at the same time. They both got the prompt message of the rules of the spirit world:
"You learned from the characters of the plot that hostages were held in the cliff mine cave."
"[Branch Mission: rescue] is on."
"Mission objective: rescue the hostages in the northern pit of the cliff mine."
"Task difficulty: A."
"Task reward: unknown."
"Task duration: 2 hours."
Li Shuyi whispered, "it''s another branch mission. It''s only two hours. Do you take it?"
"Then," Bai Xiaowen said, "this task has no conflict with our goals and no task punishment. You can do it easily."
After both chose to accept the task, Li Shuyi had to find a way to the northern mine, but Bai Xiaowen held her.
"Don''t worry about the hostage first. Since Heifeng robber said not to move her, she is safe for the time being. If we go to save her first, we will inevitably conflict with the guards and cause the robbers to be on guard. Now let''s make a surprise attack, kill Ian, the boss of Heifeng robber group, sweep the whole cliff mine, and then save the hostage. This is pushing the boat with the flow and getting twice the result with half the effort!"
The two advanced in the dark.
The inside of the cliff mine cave is tortuous and difficult to walk, and the tunnels are connected with each other, like a maze. In a dark environment, it''s easy to go the wrong way and get lost.
However, Bai Xiaowen clearly remembered how many steps he had taken in each tunnel with his strong to abnormal memory! Although his vision was dark, in his heart, there was a continuously extended and proven topographic map, and there was no loss at all.
Soon, they came to the main pit of the cliff mine.
Standing at the end of the tunnel, overlooking the main mine below, this mine has a large area and is simply an underground hall. More than a dozen torches were lit on the four walls of the mine, shining the huge mine like day.
In the northernmost part of the pit, there is a simple stone bed, two meters long and two meters wide. A tall, white man lay on the stone bed, his chest in armor fluctuated slightly and snored slightly. Beside him were two strong men and robbers.
In addition, there are several thin servants with only level 2 and level 3 standard template strength who are busy washing. The whole pit looks quite tidy. It should be the credit of these servants.
Bai Xiaowen lost an insight into the white man on the stone bed.
[Ian (leader level 6)]
[race: Humanoid race]
[Occupation: Crusader Knight]
[attribute: strength 45, agility 22, physique 48, spirit 17]
[skills: Holy hammer, Shield Bash, devout aura,??]
"This little white face is the boss of Heifeng bandit group, 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 when he sleeps. How powerful he is." Li Shuyi said.
“……”
Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
In another time and space, Bai Xiaowen has also read some crossing novels with Western fantasy background. Which of the leaders of the thief group is not big and thick, with black and hard chest hair and snoring like thunder? Such a small white face can still hold the market. There must be two brushes.
After all, I''m among a group of ferocious robbers. I''m a little weak. Let alone the position of the boss, I''m afraid the chrysanthemum will not be guaranteed.
Speaking of the wind of painting, Bai Xiaowen had to make complaints about it. Why is it that in the fantasy crossing novel he saw, every young Lord has a loyal old housekeeper who serves two generations, and he is the only fat man who eats inside and outside
Bai Xiaowen''s idea flew for 0.1 seconds, and then turned back.
"How?" Li Shuyi asked.
"This is a defensive boss with both strength and physique, and a decontrol skill," Bai Xiaowen said. "The boss itself is not difficult to deal with. However, beside him, there are two level 7 elite guards, both of whom are exporters of strength and expertise, which are more troublesome."
Bai Xiaowen counted the props he owned and took out the bottle of [powerful life toxin] obtained from gray ear, the leader of the rat group.
This bottle of [powerful life toxin] is a poison that directly reduces life. The target will lose 20% of its maximum health in 5 seconds. However, in the face of high-level and high template enemies, the toxin effect will be discounted.
But even if the effect will be discounted, it must be used now.
Bai Xiaowen chose to poison the weapon of the shadow assassin and whispered, "the old way is to let the shadow assassin lurk in the past and make a double attack. For the boss and the two senior elites, adopt the tactics of dividing and encircling, kill the elite first and then destroy the boss, and try to deceive him out of his control skills."
After the 30 second prop cooling time, Bai Xiaowen poisoned Li Shuyi''s refined sudden stab sword and used up all the 2 times of use of this bottle of [powerful life toxin].
Wow, Bai Xiaowen summoned the summoning biota of black soul stone again.
The two high-ranking elite robbers seemed to notice and looked up.
However, at this time, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, as well as skeleton knife shield hand and skeleton mage, have all retreated a few steps to avoid the sight in the pit, while the shadow assassin is in a latent state and walks slowly towards the inside of the pit. The two senior elite robbers did not find it.
The two robber guards quickly turned their eyes. They couldn''t keep their concentration all the time in the middle of the night.
The shadow assassin came quietly behind the robber guard.
Hiss!
Blood splashed. A robber''s guard blew blood behind him. Critical hit and critical attack directly caused 60 points of damage. In addition, it also attached the heavy bleeding effect and the HP percentage reduction effect of powerful life toxin!
"Enemy attack!"
The attacked robber guard roared. With his roar, a group of skeleton soldiers came!
The skeleton army jumped down from the mine like angry dumplings and joined the battle with iron knives and claws. The target of their siege is the level 7 elite robber who was attacked by the shadow assassin and his health value decreased sharply!
Bai Xiaowen found that the level 7 elite robber had a high HP. He withstood the bleeding and poisoning effect for five seconds and survived about 50% of his HP.
Bai Xiaowen didn''t give him a chance to bandage his wound and ordered to summon creatures to participate in the siege. However, the injured robber didn''t mean to bind up. He suddenly pulled out a wide blade sword and cut left and right. It was unstoppable.
Li Shuyi let a sword, a record of continuous cutting skills, stabbed the injured robber at high speed.
However, the sword was blocked by a shining silver cross shield.
Clang!
The robber leader Ian woke up. He never left his armor. He joined the regiment with a one handed hammer in his right hand and a cross shield in his left arm. His strength was very high. After blocking Li Shuyi''s stab, he suddenly lifted it and immediately made Li Shuyi stagger back.
"Who are you and why are you attacking us!" Ian murmured.
"I want to ask you what you did in Baishi silver mine?"
Bai Xiaowen raised the desert eagle and pointed the black muzzle at the bottom. With a bang, he interrupted the injured robber trying to bandage the wound. He must critically hit and produce 250% bullet damage. He directly beat the elite robber guard to his knees, and his life value was greatly reduced, leaving less than 100 points!
Ian was angry, but strangely, he didn''t attack at the first time, but tried to reason:
"Are you sent by red leaf Lord March? Is it because I attacked Baishi silver mine? The contract doesn''t say that this place can''t be attacked!"
After a pause, Ian said, "go back now. I can act as if nothing has happened and I won''t attack the white stone silver mine again! Go back and tell March that my contract with him is still valid..."
When Ian broke the news again and again, Bai Xiaowen suddenly felt refreshed, but it was impossible to let him retreat. In fact, Bai Xiaowen raised his hand cleanly and shot the injured robber again.
Ian was on guard with this shot, and the cross shield was horizontal to block the bullet.
"What the hell do you want to do? You''re provoking war!"
The injured elite robber said in a muffled voice, "boss, these guys are not March''s people. They are dead hands on me. There is no room for relaxation!"
