Chapter 44: It's Finally Here
Since the end of spring, it has entered autumn, and the leaves on the trees have changed color, and many of them have fallen off, leaving the bare trees.
If Liu Ming is willing, he can find a lot of small animals running around, collecting the fruits that fall from the trees and saving them for the winter.
Liu Ming lay on the branches, counting the stars through the leaves, and Pippi sat cross-legged under the tree, knitting gloves for Liu Ming with the needle and thread bought in the town.
Twenty meters away in the open space, grain and grass trucks surrounded the city in a circle, and a soldier camp was stationed on the periphery of the circle, guarding the four directions of southeast, south, and northwest, and a group of soldiers sat in the middle to talk and laugh and enjoy the dinner.
"Liu Ming!
"There are still about three days to go, and then we will hold on. ”
"It's a much more comfortable life than when I was an adventurer hunting in Anslow. Liu Ming said with a smile.
"Anslow fed a lot of adventurers, and I used to wander when I was younger, but unfortunately I was kidnapped to the army by some bad guy, so I relied on it. ”
"Yo he! emotional sadness?" Liu Ming teased, and Laura didn't mind much, sharing her previous life with Liu Ming.
Like most adventurers, Laura thought she was going to die on the adventure, until one day she was rescued by a handsome knight, and the two knew each other and fell in love, and Laura chose to join the army and follow him.
The story is not exciting, but it has a good ending, which is more legitimate than abducting Pipsqueak in the Baron's Palace.
Liu Ming also shared the story of herself and Pippi, but Laura pulled Pippi apart and whispered to her that Liu Ming was not a good person, and she should pay more attention in the future, and she really couldn't ask her for help.
"Pipsqueak, I'm telling you, a bastard like him might have Ecstasy on his body and faint some rich lady or a beautiful adventurer at any time, and that's the worst kind of person!"
Liu Ming wanted to cry without tears, why did he have a bad review.
"Laura, stay away from my house, lest you take her with you. Liu Ming warned, causing Laura to laugh.
"Don't talk to you, I'll go rest, and I'll ask for it tonight. Laura waved back to the tent, and Liu Ming said goodbye with his middle finger in the air, and lay on the branch with his eyes closed.
The night was getting colder, the mountain wind was blowing, Liu Ming's ears trembled, he looked indifferently into the depths of the woods, and sat up.
"Finally came out to find something to eat?" Liu Ming hooked the corners of his mouth, glanced at Pipi, who was sleeping under the tree covered with a blanket, did not disturb her, quietly jumped to another tree, shuttled between the trees, and soon found his first prey.
Liu Ming didn't startle the snake, he found a hidden place to hide, and put his ears on the tree to listen to the footsteps.
Two, five, thirteen!
Liu Ming sensed that there were thirteen thieves in front of him and hurried towards the camp quietly, and it would take about half an hour to reach the attack range.
Thirteen thieves want to steal grain and grass, too little!
When Liu Ming was puzzled, his intuition told him that there was danger on the left, and when he squinted, there were actually people on the tree.
Liu Ming counted it again, plus what he found later, a total of 24 people.
"Only then do we have the capital to grab grain and grass!" Liu Ming said, sneaking behind them, grabbing the most downright thief, aiming the knife at the neck, and the thief fell silently.
Liu Ming was afraid that he would wake up early, so he took out the bottle containing half a bottle of liquid, and shook it in his nose, and the thief's expression calmed down and became asleep.
"It's better to prepare some ecstasy in advance to defend yourself, otherwise you will suffer a big loss. ”
Liu Ming put away the medicine, stripped off the thief's clothes, covered it with leaves, found a piece of cloth to cover half of his face, and followed behind the army.
Liu Ming specializes in finding a single person to start with, and he will not let go of the hidden ones on the tree, and he will not be killed.
Although they came out to rob, but did not hurt Liu Ming, Liu Ming would not kill them, this is Liu Ming's line.
The leader of the thieves who walked in the front felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he saw that his men were still there, how could he feel that there was a little less? Could it be that their hiding skills have improved?
didn't care too much, and led people to the vicinity of the camp to ambush it.
Liu Ming stunned ten thieves back and forth, almost half of them were missing, and finally some thieves found out that something was wrong, and quickly imitated the cry of the beast to prompt the leader of the front row, and when he heard the code, the big leader couldn't believe that he turned back and counted people, and there were ten less.
No matter how much the Great Leader called out to him, no one responded to him.
My heart was half cold, what was going on? Was it a good thing that the hired adventurer did?
When the big leader was still puzzled, Liu Ming appeared in his sight, and the big leader knew at a glance that the man in black in front of him was not his brother, and as soon as he raised his hand, the remaining thieves raised their weapons and aimed at Liu Ming.
"Talk about business, boss!" Liu Ming said with a smile, ignoring the weapons behind him, and walked towards the deep forest, away from the camp.
The big leader was angry and afraid, he was destined to fail to rob the grain and grass with the rest of the people, he didn't expect that he would be able to fail with the help of someone, and he held his breath in his heart.
Especially when Liu Ming smiled and told him to negotiate, he was even more annoyed by ridicule.
"Put down your weapons! Everyone is waiting for me here!Second brother, follow me!" said the big leader through gritted teeth, keeping up with Liu Ming's pace.
The second leader vaguely knew that something would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen, so he hurriedly caught up.
Liu Ming sat on the tree and waited for the leader of the thieves, his hand on his left foot, and his right foot dangling in the air.
"You disturbed my sleep, how are you going to lose money?" Liu Ming said, the big and small leaders who came to him clenched their fists, but they still bowed down respectfully to Liu Ming.
"Your Excellency, we only seek money and do not kill you! this time we have not caused any loss to you, so how about it?" said the big leader through gritted teeth.
"Who are you fooling if you only seek money and don't kill you? The knives in your hands came after they were sharpened, and now you are talking nonsense to me! Honestly, how much do you lose! If you don't take care of your own pension, I only earn 3 gold coins by running this single task, so you don't say anything about giving me 30 compensation. ”
"It's too much to deceive people! You and my two brothers can't beat you? A small gray bronze level seventh, the two of us together are not even afraid of the Qingfeng master, let alone you!" the big leader said angrily, showing the steel claws in his hand, which looked cold in the light of the starlight.
Hearing this, Liu Ming put away his good temper, these two people actually came at him.
The first skill given to Liu Ming by the system is to hide the aura!
The opponent who is also a gray bronze rank can't detect Liu Ming's strength at all, and he clearly knows that he is level 7, so it is obvious that someone wants to harm himself and reveal his strength.
In this way, there is no need to keep your hands.
Liu Ming unceremoniously took out his bow and arrows and said, "Now there is one more condition, say who asked you to come, otherwise you will play chess with the old man of the God of Light!"
"Heh, do you really think you can fight?" The big leader didn't talk nonsense, pinched the steel claws and rushed forward, Liu Ming is an archer, and his strength in close combat must be greatly reduced.
Liu Ming knew what he was thinking, didn't give him a chance, kept a distance of twenty meters from him, drew his bow and aimed and shot, all in one go.
The iron arrow was aimed at the eyes of the big leader, and the big leader did not panic at all, and the steel claws slashed down, and the iron arrow was intercepted.
Liu Ming didn't plan to defeat the enemy with one move, and constantly used wooden arrows to consume the big leader's physical strength, and when the time was ripe, he used iron arrows to cause actual damage, and the big leader was caught off guard and suffered a loss, and was shot in the shoulder by Liu Ming.
Hum!
The big leader pulled out the iron arrow and shouted, "Second brother!
"Okay!" The second leader watched Liu Ming fight against the big leader for a long time, vaguely felt Liu Ming's attack method, took out the machete behind him to help, and the two attacked together, and Liu Ming could hide less and less.
"What's the matter! No arrows!" the big leader struck a fierce aura, and slashed the big tree with one claw, Liu Ming dodged with difficulty, and his clothes were cut through the opening.
"you! Lao Tzu's clothes are very expensive!" Liu Ming scolded, not retreating, but advancing, sideways dodged the second leader's big knife, and aimed at the big leader's wrist is a punch, the big leader's wrist immediately swollen, and he avoided the pain.
"You get out of here too!" Liu Ming quickly raised his foot and kicked the second leader in the abdomen, knocking the two back and pounced on the big leader.
Help the good not help the inferior, and pick the scum!
The big boss was injured, so it was naturally easier to deal with.
Liu Ming used the iron bow to clamp the steel claws of the big leader, and fought hand-to-hand, attacking the dead corners of the neck and armpits, and soon the big leader was defeated, and his nose and face were swollen after being beaten by Liu Ming.
Just when Liu Ming was about to defeat the big leader, the second leader killed and slashed at Liu Ming's neck.
"You're still a little tender!" Liu Ming sneered, and took out the bone arrow with his backhand to resist, the bone arrow looked broken and easy to rot, but the big knife was popped out of it by it, and the second leader's hand hurt.
"What kind of weapon is this?" said the second leader in surprise, Liu Ming did not explain, and used the bone arrow as a short soldier, and every time he swung it, the hot breath echoed, and the part cut by the bone arrow was bleeding.
"Big brother, retreat! We can't beat him!" The second leader panicked, covered his bleeding arm and said, but the big leader couldn't swallow this breath, he was planted today, wouldn't he have to leave if he couldn't fight him in the future?
The seeds of defeat will take root in the heart for a lifetime, so it is better to die in battle than to back down!
"Kill!" shouted the Grand Leader, jumping up from the ground and stabbing at Liu Ming.
"I don't know what to say!" Liu Ming swung his bone arrow, slashed the steel claw blade, and stomped on the big leader's chest.
"Say!Who gave you the news!" Liu Ming asked sternly, the big leader coughed up blood, looked behind Liu Ming with a cruel smile, and hugged Liu Ming's feet with his whole body to prevent him from moving.
"Give me death!" the second leader roared, ignoring the wounds, and jumped high to slash at Liu Ming's position.
