Chapter 310: IM Ice
The low angle of view is abnormal, but it can still take a panoramic view of the actions of a group of merchants: the stunned eyes are in the time when the Seven Swords Beauty Group roars by. The simple clean-up and cleanliness of each jumping on the horse is the scene after the two teams missed. Drinking and scolding, foul language such as beads is anger after the plan is frustrated. The most intuitive thing is that after the Seven Swords Beauty Regiment fled, these people did not carefully pack up the scattered goods: a small amount of food, scattered bedding, and shabby warm clothes - worthless items, almost all of which were discarded, which is enough to prove that this is a group of fake business travelers.
The pink wolf sent a 'star eye': "Brother Su, you are too powerful!" How did you find out? β
Su Cheng didn't want to say more, so he asked Fu Tao to explain.
"What's so hard about that? Two coincidences are the explanation! This is the same as boxing, as long as the opponent's physical strength is still sufficient, he will not show you two gaps in a row. It's definitely selling flaws to lure you into taking the bait! β
"And how did this video come about?"
Look at the pink wolf like an idiot: "Eleven Lang's shared perspective!" β
Recall Eleven Lang, everyone has no objection to the behavior of the horse bandits pretending to be a merchant to fish, except to run out of the scope of the horse bandits' activities as soon as possible, there is no other idea.
It was a little interesting to propose to hand over the telescope to the King Kong cat behind the palace, but Su Cheng also vetoed: "There are nearly 100 horse bandits, and only about 20 people are used as bait, where are the others?" The telescope must remain near the left of the main force! Also, put aside all unnecessary activities - gathering, digging, hunting, and march with all your might to get rid of the horse bandits as soon as possible! β
The form is not optimistic. In addition to using binoculars to maintain a medium-distance full-range field of vision, the lack of more extensive reconnaissance methods and the reality of unfamiliarity with the geographical terrain may reveal a fact that everyone is unwilling to admit: the team is currently in the encirclement of horse bandits!
At this time, the team actually only ran about twenty miles, and the terrain such as slopes, mountain streams, and tall grass also exacerbated the fatigue of the mounts. A few days after obtaining the mount, Night Rocha, Pink Big Wolf, and Somewhat Interesting Mounts all had varying degrees of loyalty decline. It is imperative to continue to travel at high speeds. Everyone got off their mounts, fed and combed them for a while, then put them into the space and began to march on foot. The Sentinel Trio also replaced with the Seven Swordsmen with higher mount quality and loyalty.
"Someone's coming." As a central ranger, the telescope announced to the whole: "A little behind Su Susu." Im Hanbing, alone! Seems to be waiting for us. β
Su Susu summoned the pet and prepared to fight. The others got on their mounts and went to rendezvous. β
Su Sushu's war pet is an earth bear, and his current loyalty is full value, which should be able to buy Su Sushu a little time.
Im Hanbing ran to the middle of the outpost and the team, and also put away his mount to show goodwill, and just stood on the side of the road waiting for the arrival of the Seven Swords Beauty Regiment. The man looked young, with a small flower hat buttoned diagonally in her long curly hair, a white leather armor, and a staff that was shoulder-high as hers. Seeing that the people of the Seven Swords Beauty Group arrived quickly, the girl showed a few white teeth and greeted everyone: "Hello everyone! β
What a thing! On this day, the time has been tightened by your watching, and a lot of energy has been wasted! King Kong Cat is not polite at all: "What good can it be to be tailed?" What do you mean? β
Su Cheng glared at him: "You don't say a word!" Ice, huh? With no way out, do you want to find a big tree to enjoy the shade? β
Im Hanbing was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the people of the Seven Swords to react so quickly: "Yes! It's better to partner with you than to be robbed by horse bandits. She originally took over the adventure mission against the Seven Swords Beauty Group, and she followed the Seven Swords for more than a day but failed to succeed, but was abducted into the ditch by the Seven Swords, and also walked into the encirclement of the horse bandits. She relied on her familiarity with the road to run in front of the Seven Swords. Her explanation made everyone in the Seven Swords Beauty Group guess a dumb riddle: What is the concept of horse bandit robbery?
Players born in the secret realm of the Sacred Mountain have the advantage of getting in touch with the high-level combat profession in advance, but this advantage is not given in vain: the probability of such players encountering horse bandits, beasts, and monsters is much higher than that of players outside the secret realm. If you are killed by a beast, the punishment is a direct drop. Players who are killed by bandits will drop various attributes, and there will be an additional 'go up the mountain to join the gang' clone, and the deity must kill the clone to get back the dropped attributes. These attributes, it is said that they are at least five points! If you are a female player, you may be 'robbed' by bandits - become the wife of a bandit. Im Hanbing has a friend who was 'robbed' in the secret realm of the sacred mountain. What makes the players of the secret realm cry and laugh the most is that the clone is in the bandit's lair, and it is possible to pass on some strange skills to the deity. The mixture of blessings and misfortunes makes this group of sub-secret realm players also have a love-hate relationship with the program ape who is responsible for the setting of the secret realm!
Retracting the eagle that had been flying for nine days, Im Hanbing said: "I won't hide it from everyone, I received an adventure mission. The content is to kill Lord Twilight Orange...... Or, kill any two players from the Seven Swords Beauty. Now, everyone has fallen into the encirclement of horse bandits, can you give up your previous suspicions and cooperate? β
Except for Su Cheng, everyone else wanted to break their heads, but they didn't expect this idea of im Hanbing.
King Kong Barbie chatted with Su Cheng privately: "Boss Su, this girl has good strength." The thirty-fourth level of ice method has never been seen outside. Our urban beauty mercenary group is so big, and I heard that only one of them has succeeded in taking up the ice method. The others are currently water mages. β
If Buick's intelligence is correct, then there are nearly 100 horse bandits. There is an extra powerful ice method in the headquarters, and the effect is also limited, not to mention that you have to guard against a knife in the back of this girl? Su Cheng thought for a while: "How can you guarantee that you can be of the same mind with us during the period of dealing with the horse bandits?" How do we separate after we escape? Also, as hostile personnel, we can't team up, so the benefits of cooperation will be discounted, right? β
Im Hanbing also considered Su Cheng's concerns: "I can swear to the mountain god that I will never clash with the Seven Swords Beauty Group until everyone is safe." Once it is safe, a time limit for the release of the oath is also to be agreed. In this way, while the oath is valid, the mountain gods can ensure each other's safety. "Within the secret realm of the sacred mountain, swearing in the name of the mountain god is indeed trustworthy.
"No swearing." Su Cheng stretched out his hand: "Welcome to join the Seven Swords Beauty Group temporarily." Can you tell us about your skills? Facilitate everyone's cooperation later! β
"I have a water magic that relieves fatigue, boosts stamina, and has a little healing effect. One icicle, a small area of icicle. Defensive magic is the Water Shield and the Ice Shield, both of which are individual skills. "There are five skills in total. According to King Kong Barbie, this girl's strength is top-notch in the entire Urban Beauty Guild!
Su Susu still had questions: "Can you use your falcon casually?" My falcon was released three times and then defected! What's going on? β
Im Hanbing smiled: "There are also two kinds of pets that adventurers in the secret realm get. One is blessed by the mountain god, which can be brought out of the secret realm of the sacred mountain, and there will be basically no defection. One is not blessed by the mountain gods, just like yours. We call this kind of pet a disposable pet. It is thoroughly a consumer product. β
Feng Wu Jiutian grabbed the conversation: "What do you mean, you can carry two pets even if you are not a hunter player or a druid class?" β
βyesγ The premise is that your first pet must be blessed by the mountain god! β
The Seven Swords Beauty Regiment's current way to deal with horse bandits is to take one step at a time. There is no set policy other than direction. Su Cheng told him about his worries: "Now we don't know anything about the whereabouts of the horse bandits, we only know that there is a team of more than twenty people in the rear. What did you detect? Well, release your falcon to the front to scout first, just in case. We'll do it after the rear sweep. β
Im Hanbing is also very curious about the fact that Seven Swords can detect his whereabouts without flying pets. She unleashed the Flying Eagle: "No problem. You can't use flying pets, so how can you spy on me? Seeing the picture sent out by the swords, she also smiled: "It seems that it is my bad luck, the task of killing the members of the Seven Swords Beauty Group cannot be completed." "The interactive quests between native adventurers and alien adventurers in the secret realm are not impossible to cancel. The 'death' of all the personnel of one of the parties, or the express abandonment of the mission by one of the parties and the payment of the price, can be considered to be a lapse of the agreement. At this time, Im Hanbing felt that the other party's task setting was very harsh: if she gave up the task first, she would be punished by the other party's request for any three pieces of equipment on her body.
"Which team set up the cross-mission with you?" Su Cheng asked her.
"Adjudication Guild's Thunder!" Im Hanbing was a little depressed. She knew that the verdict was one of the top ten online game guilds in Huaxia. It's not something you can afford to mess with.
King Kong Cat laughed: "It doesn't matter if he is a judge or a tailor, since the idea is on our heads, we will kill him first and it will be over!" β
Im Hanbing pouted: "It's a way." However, these people are also a full mercenary group of thirteen people, and the level is not lower than thirty-three - I will not be able to help you then! β
Su Cheng looked up at the black dot in the distance, it was the frozen eagle: "As long as everyone has this heart, sooner or later there will be a way." Solve the problem at hand first! Walk! β
The leading brother is confident, and the cohesion of the team is there! Im Hanbing thinks this team is not bad.
"What are you going to do, Boss Su! It's time for you to be a scout and go sentry! β
"Not knowing how to maintain leadership prestige in front of newcomers can have a negative impact on the team. Isn't that so, Barbie? Su Cheng asked by name.
"That's right! If my people dare to do this, they will definitely be assigned to dig ore for a day! King Kong Barbie couldn't find a chance to pick up King Kong Cat, so he immediately expressed support for Boss Su's attack on King Kong Cat.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The news brought by IM Hanbing proves that everyone has fallen into the encirclement of the horse bandits, and after a short period of calm, a 'tragic' battle will inevitably break out.
While looking for an opportunity to relax everyone's mood, Su Cheng chatted privately one by one, asking everyone to find time to improve the loyalty of battle pets and mounts, and ensure that the entire team is in a state of internal tightness and external looseness.
"Boss, there's a mound up aheadβthe tall kind, not like a natural formation!"
Im Hanbing is not on the same team as everyone else, and her Flying Eagle perspective cannot be shared with Seven Swords. Su Cheng had no choice but to call the mid-lane scout Pink Wolf and use a telescope to observe.
The mound was more than two feet high, with a circumference of about sixty or seventy paces, with a few broken arrow stacks above, and a doorway two meters high and one meter wide belowβwhat kind of mound was this, it was clearly a beacon tower!
I don't have time to explain! The Ice Mage popped up a text bubble: "Horse bandits ahead, the number of people is about thirty!" β
Retracting the scouts, a group of people ran into the beacon like their butts burning, and then found themselves surrounded!
The beacon tower is a rammed earth structure, the interior is empty, half of it still retains some broken adobe house circles, a solid step built along the wall rises from the ground to the thick platform, and there is a circle of half-person high rammed earth on the outside of the platform against the wall, which has a protective effect on the people standing on the platform for defense. At this time, more than a dozen people dressed as herdsmen were standing on the wall, and seven or eight broken bows were facing down. A rather tall NPC is holding its arms up. Look at it like this, as long as the arm falls, the seven swords will be baptized by the rain of arrows.
"Buick!" Angela shouted.
Buick slowly lowered his arms. I don't know how he was such a big man, how he was able to hide his figure just now without being discovered by the Seven Swords. "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that there were bandits nearby? β
Su Cheng shouted: "The horse bandits are surrounding!" Do you dare to join forces with me to teach these bandits a lesson? β
Buick rolled his eyes when he asked this: "What do you think we are hiding here for?" If the number of horse bandits is small, labor and management are determined to fight them! β
Feng Wu Jiutian private chat reminded: "There are a few fewer people in Buick!" And a few more wounded! β
"Hey, Buick, have you ever been robbed by horse bandits? You've got a few fewer brothers! β
There were four fewer people in total. Buick said a few words to a herdsman next to him, and then walked down the earthen wall.
Standing with the people of the Seven Swords Beauty Group, everyone found out that this Buick was also injured - half of the arrow shaft was still stuck in the back shoulder.
"Bandits who are killed! Not only did they shoot me, but they also killed three of my brothers and captured one! Buick spoke to the machine gun, and Balabala told everyone what had happened in the past half a day. They also met a group of 'merchants' halfway through, and seeing that there were only about a dozen people on the other side, the Buick brothers relaxed their vigilance, and as a result, they fell into an encirclement of sixty or seventy people. The bandits snatched their horses and the salt and tea they had just arrived, and demanded that the herdsmen join them.
"Thanks to the high level of loyalty of our horses, I ran back with a whistle!" Buick raised his voice to boast of his bravery: "I also broke the neck of a horse bandit!" Unfortunately, three of our brothers were shot and killed. Alas, there is no face to return to the tribe. I just want to set up an ambush here! Even if you can't get those things back, you have to kill a few bandits to avenge your brothers! β
Able to launch a resolute counterattack, this ally is quite reliable. Looking at the dozen or so herdsmen on the beacon tower, Su Cheng's confidence in defeating the horse bandits became more and more firm. "Buick, the horse bandits are coming soon. I've decided to use the beacon to fight the bandits! Are your people willing to fight alongside us? β
Buick couldn't ask for it. At first glance, he looks a lot of people and horses, and the fights and brawls can also play the uninhibited wildness of some grassland men, but if you really fight with the horse bandits, it is really not enough to watch. It's not that his people can't do it - these people's attributes are also equivalent to level thirty-five players - but that the profession is not right, how can a production profession fight be an opponent of a combat profession?
The two formed an alliance, and Buick wondered: "I have fewer people, why do you have one more?" Still a mage! Little girl, why aren't you in our alliance team? β
Im Hanbing said: "I have another mission, I can't team up with you." Don't worry, if the horse bandits come later, I will beat them up with you! β
If you don't align, you won't be immune from attacks by your own people. Fortunately, at the current level, everyone doesn't have many area attack skills, and a little attention can solve this problem.
A few injured herders were called down, and Shengshengman was treated one by one. The difference between magic and medicine is highlighted: players in the doctor profession cannot heal NPCs, so they can only trade the drugs and bandages they have on hand to NPCs and let them heal themselves; Divine magic does not have this problem.
Slightly distinguished Buick's subordinates and singled out all those who had bow and arrow skills: "When the horse bandits come, all of you will go to the wall, and those who have shooting skills will use bows and arrows to deal with horse bandits; Those who could not use bows and arrows gathered above the beacon gate and attacked the bandits below the door with stones and clods of earth. "Look at the weapons of the herdsmen, they are all soft bows, short knives, and lasso, and Su Cheng is also very sad - what a bunch of poor buddies! It's unrealistic to give allies a weapon each, and it's pretty much the same to get a few out of it. Seven swords and two knobs and three javelins were used to support the herdsmen.
Buick was given preferential treatment as the leader of the allies and was given a golden javelin with Su Cheng as a spare spare. This thing obviously loves this weapon very much, and the wind is dancing in his hand: "It's a little light, but labor and management are injured today, just use this!" β
Looking at Buick's grinning mouth, Su Cheng was very worried about whether these weapons could be recovered. He also felt that the golden javelin was a bit lighter - which showed that Buick's strength was on par with him. He also has a purple javelin, but he doesn't use it easily due to the difficulty of repair.
Looking at Buick, he always felt a little unhappy: "Buick, didn't you change your name to Third Uncle?" How did you change it back again? β
The big man's black face actually glowed red: "That's the name of the Han people, it's very awkward to shout!" β
Im Hanbing tilted his head and asked Buick: "Brother Hassa, don't you have a decent weapon?" "Crackling took out a dozen weapons from his backpack, all of them in blue and gold quality! Machetes, bows and arrows, short swords, armor, spears are traded to Buick. In addition to armor, the weapons basically met the needs of the herders.
"You mage, why do you bring so many weapons?" The pink wolf was puzzled. She has been circling around this im, just to keep some human relationships. A high-level player like im Hanbing, as long as he is out of the secret realm, is the target of various guilds.
IM Hanbing: I want to leave the secret realm of Mount Kinabalu after completing this mission, and of course I have to take all my belongings with me! Otherwise, if you leave the secret realm, you will become poor and white, how can you mix up the holy path? Alas, I didn't expect that the players outside were so ferocious, and the golden weapons were the lowest. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell these things for a few bucks when I go out!
The men of the Seven Swords all laughed: outside, blue weapons were the mainstream. The reason we have these high-end purple and silver weapons is because we have a high-level blacksmith in our studio!
The pink wolf didn't believe it: "Won't it? There's no way a high-level blacksmith can craft so many purple and silver weapons! β
This doesn't need additional proof: except for Angela's hand NU, other people's weapons have Su Cheng's unique trademark, **, copies will not drop this kind of thing, and NPCs can't imitate it.
With complete weapons and equipment, the morale of these herdsmen has also been rebounded to a certain extent.
Im Hanbing released the flying eagle, Seven Swords sent one person to the top of the stage to watch out, and the others hurried to start resting to recover or maintain their strength. Su Cheng sat cross-legged against the wall and began to enter a meditative state. In the Divine Mountain Secret Realm, his life fire seemed to have been awakened a little, and his cultivation progress had significantly accelerated. A few dirt fell from the wall and landed on Su Cheng's shoulder, he raised his head to avoid a stream of falling dust: "Cat, don't just stare in one direction, look back!" King Kong Cat was standing on the earthen platform opposite Su Cheng, holding a telescope to observe, and when he heard this, he turned around with a telescope and said, "I'll go!" The horse bandits are coming! Get ready for battle! β
"Buick, all your people are on the wall and obey Feng Wu's nine-day dispatch, and you stay and guard the door with me. The King Kong cat stays on the wall and continues to be responsible for the observation - turn the perspective to observe! Angela, Xiao Man, and Han Bing are in charge of healing, and Han Bing is responsible for supporting the goalkeeper in the middle of the door at all times! Before he finished speaking, Su Cheng had already run up to the wall to observe the enemy's situation.
Buick also followed, lying next to Su Cheng: "How many people are there?" β
It's a pity that you don't want to be a door god, why did you run up? Su Cheng glanced at him: "I'm going to go down to guard the door when I come up to see!" What are you doing here? β
"Well, I also want to see if the horse bandits who come here now are those Jesek who robbed labor and capital!"
Mercenary Channel, Twilight Orange: "What is Jesek?" β
Angela: "Donkey! What's wrong? β
"Nothing ......"
There were only about 20 people in this group of horse bandits, and they came to track down the Buick herdsmen.
Buick lay beside Su Cheng: "That one, that one, and the last one, all have my brother's blood on their hands!" How about we fight, Sir? β
There are not many bandits coming, and the Seven Swords and the herdsmen are on it together, and they can completely defeat these twenty or so horse bandits. It's just that if you attack now, it's too early, if the horse bandits turn around and flee, I'm afraid the seven swords won't be able to reap too many results. Su Cheng also had this thought: "Yes." The condition is that your people can't all go! Leave five caretakers. Two or three of my men will be left behind. When to rush out, you have to listen to me! β
