Tu Shi looked at the insect repellent powder circle that had been sprinkled outside the camp last night to prevent poison ivy, and suddenly made a discovery.

The horses were tied to the shed twenty meters away from the south, and here they were also taken care of by the insect repellent powder, a few pieces were missing from the powder circle, and a few more pieces were outside the circle, as if they had been stepped on a few footprints to the south, because the powder was mixed with lime, so the traces were particularly eye-catching. Looking at the traces again, they are not footprints, but round spots. It seems that the monster came from the south, and when it succeeded, it returned to the south, and it was surprising that it had taken the horses captive, but there were no hoof prints along the way, as if the horses had completely disappeared from the shed.

Tu Shi muttered: "Fortunately, there is a horse that blocked the disaster......" Wu Chang understood the meaning of this, and sweated down. If it weren't for the fact that there was a horse shed in the south, blocking the monster's path, it was likely that the monster would kill people directly.

It seems that the task of "building a post station" is not to kill all the poison ivy around it. Tu Shi made up his mind and said to Lu Lingchuan: "You obediently don't run around, you know?" ”

"Get out, go and get back." Lu Lingchuan worked all day and was promoted two levels, so how could he have time to deal with Tu Shi at this time.

Tu Shi ordered a few strong soldiers to trek south with him, but along the way, he saw a poison ivy hole that had slipped through the net, so he jumped down and quickly killed it, killing a monster in a few breaths, which impressed the soldiers. He did this to clear the wilderness and to help build confidence in the soldiers. While farming monsters, he also found that most of the poison ivy in the cave were not big poison ivy, and all the old caves had new owners.

Poison ivy: Level 10. Poison ivy (insects). Living in groups, led by the queen of insects, the community will divide into groups every time it grows to a certain point. Distinguish friend from foe by smell, good at burrowing, omnivorous. Mentally retarded, following instincts. Once you eat people, you can turn on your spiritual intelligence and become a demon beast, but your intelligence won't be high. The tail is actually a metamorphosis of the biotic-reproductive organ. Good at skills [Chitin Armor] and [Paralysis Toxin]. When attacking, there is a 1% chance to trigger "Knockback".

As I said before, the best sword moves to deal with big poison ivy are "stab" and "chop", but they are not of much use to the little guys, they have a special size, they can roll up like tide insects at any time, and they can't fight back no matter how they fight, anyway, [chitiny armor] can be strictly guarded. Tu Shi had to mobilize the strength of his waist and horse, slashed hard, split a gap in the armor, and then stabbed in. The vitality of insects is very tenacious, even if the sword blade penetrates the body, it will not kill immediately, Tu Shi has no teacher, he is clever in his hands, and he stirs it hard as soon as he pierces it, and he has to stir the inside of the body cavity of the poison ivy; Poison ivy will naturally stretch its body when it hurts, and then take the opportunity to kill it.

After walking more than ten miles, he approached the forest. The evil spirit at the end of the forest, as soon as the wind blew, the stench came to the face, and several people immediately vomited. The soldier who was born and raised in Beicheng shouted in horror: "Miasma of corpses! It turns out that there is a dead corpse miasma! Is this a forest of corpses? ”

What kind of corpse miasma, in fact, is just the smell of decomposing corpses! Tu Shi didn't know how many times he had smelled it in the poison ivy cave, and he had immunity. He waved his hand and motioned for everyone to follow him around into the woods.

The forest is mostly a banyan tree, this kind of tree branches are luxuriant, intertwined, Tu Shi once heard that in reality there is a place called "Bird Paradise" (it seems to have been read in primary school textbooks) in China, where a banyan tree can even become a forest alone. It is precisely because of this characteristic of the banyan tree that you can hardly see the sky when you stand in the woods, and you can see the aerial roots and branches and leaves as far as you can see. Sunlight is difficult to penetrate, and the air is not circulated, and the stench caused by the decay and fermentation of animal carcasses will persist for a long time, which is the so-called miasma. The day is still gloomy, and the night really doesn't know what is going on, no wonder it is rumored to be a "forest of dead bodies".

"Poison ivy!" A soldier suddenly screamed miserably, and everyone fled in all directions like frightened birds, and before he had run a few steps, he heard Tu Shi shout:

"You can see it clearly, it's dead!"

It was a poison ivy bound by silk threads and hanging from the trunk of a tree, covered in dust and dead leaves, and sure enough, an empty shell. Everyone felt a little calmer, and when they saw Tu Shi still walking over to check, they were all amazed at how bold this person was, but they didn't know that Tu Shi had killed no less than a hundred live poison ivy, afraid of a hairy dead poison ivy?

After a while, there were empty shells of dead poison ivy, hanging or littered under the roots of trees, or shattered into shapes. Tu Shi had a rough idea of the details of the monsters, but he was also secretly frightened, only then did he know why the poison ivy was all over the cave field, it turned out that he couldn't please in this dead corpse forest, so he retreated to the second. Pray to God and worship Buddha, but don't say that there is more than one big guy in the forest.

After walking for a while, Tu Shi's face changed, pointed to the air ten meters away, and said, "Look at that." ”

When they looked up, they were all shocked, and they saw that the silk threads were intertwined into a net, wrapped in something that looked like a person, and when they looked again, it was brown flesh, and a horse's head hung down from the edge of the silk thread, and flies flew on the horse's head. Tu Shi stepped forward to cut the silk thread, and found that it was difficult to cut, so he had to cut off the load-bearing line tied to the body of the hanging horse first, so a bag of horse corpses snapped to the ground, and the fishy yellow juice oozed out. When they saw it, the horse was like the dead poison ivy they had seen before, with no flesh and blood, only bones covered with mucus and slurry, and even a lot of fur had melted away. Seeing this horrible death, the few people who had just vomited immediately vomited again.

Tu Shi waited for everyone to finish vomiting before he said, "This thing is not easy to deal with." Let's get out of here with me. ”

Remembering the North City.

Tu Shi, who came to ask for help, was politely rejected by the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. The steward said that the task of "establishing a post station" was originally outsourced to adventurers, and whether the adventurers could complete it had nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion would not help. Tu Shi suddenly felt that the city lord was an old fox, it didn't matter whether the post station was built or not, there were adventurers to build it, it would save manpower and material resources, and it could also attract local rich people to contribute, but it really couldn't be built, and it wasn't the city lord's mansion that was lost. It's really clever to be a middleman to be able to do a business without capital.

But it's not all bad. The people in the team were panicked, and the steward couldn't suppress it, and finally revealed his tone to Tu Shi: If Tu Shi can ensure the smooth completion of the post station, the Qi family is willing to take a good sword that has been treasured for many years as a reward. As soon as he heard that there was a good weapon to hold, Tu Shi came to his senses, and he began to formulate a response plan. In the novice village, a hunter taught him a lot of knowledge related to hunting, which happened to be applicable, such as setting traps.

"Traps? I haven't done it. "Lu Lingchuan is a little embarrassed." Although there are many things that can be made by life professionals, they all need drawings! I'll go back and ask the teacher now. ”

In addition to making traps, it is also necessary to arrange temporary candidates and backup plans. The NPC soldiers are all higher in level than themselves, as long as they don't mess around, it will be a big help; If you have a backup plan, discuss it with Liu Hanshi, after all, it's too troublesome to use your brain, so it's better to leave it to a professional.

When Tu Shi came to Liu Hanshi's temporary residence, he saw Liu Hanshi playing against his mentor Sun Bin. Tu Shi didn't know how to play Go, and he couldn't tell who won and who lost from the calm faces of the two. When Liu Han saw Tu Shi coming, he began to pack up the chess pieces and said, "I admit defeat." Teacher, you have won again. ”

"If I'm going to win, I'll have to take at least fifty-three moves." Sun Bin also rolled up his sleeves and packed up the chess pieces together.

"There is no difference between fifty-three steps and one step, the result is the same."

"I'm glad that you have a sense of victory and defeat, but you don't have a sense of attachment."

"It's serious, it's just a game."

Tu Shi was so mad by the gentle dialogue between the two masters and apprentices that he hurriedly stepped forward to clean up together, the sunspot was thrown into the white urn, the white son was sent to the black urn, and then pulled Liu Han to the side: "The rivers and lakes are in emergency, you must help me this time!" I might be in trouble! ”

"What's the trouble? Also, when did I not help you? ”

Tu Shi ignored the second half of the problem and told the details again. Liu Hanshi shook his head: "It's just a monster to deal with, that's a matter for combat professionals, and it has nothing to do with me." And knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles, how much do you know about that monster? How do you tell me to design a tactical plan? Lay it out casually, and forget the meaning. ”

"But I'm afraid that when the scene gets out of control, the NPCs will be killed and injured—"

"That's like a man, desperately protecting them."

Liu Han looked into Tu Shi's eyes and calmly cut off the other party's words.

Tu Shi was speechless and nodded heavily: "I don't need you to say it, I know it too!" He turned and strode away, scrappy.

Sun Bin and Liu Hanshi sighed tacitly at the same time: "A fool is a good deception." ”

The wilderness of the cave, the post station construction site.

Twelve o'clock in the evening.

The construction site is surrounded by torches, illuminating the four fields. The craftsmen were huddled together (the housekeeper of the Qi family was hiding in the innermost), and the soldiers were standing on the periphery with weapons, so close to each other that they could hardly use their weapons. They huddled together with the horses and dug a three-metre-high trench on all sides for two people to lie down side by side. The ditch was filled with water from the well in advance, and it became an improvised moat.

What kind of trap is a trench? In this regard, Lu Lingchuan conveyed the words of his teacher Mozi: The reason why a classic is a classic is precisely because it can adapt to any era.

Tu Shi stood outside the trench. He had a sword in his hand, so he didn't have to rely on the ridiculously rudimentary fortifications behind him. He stared intently to the south, activating his [Grey Pupil] every five minutes. Although it can't let him see farther at night, it can give him stronger dynamic vision and can capture all the wind and grass.

When he saw the chariot-like black shadow, his breath held his breath unconsciously. The black shadow was as fast as a galloping horse, but silent, as if it were just a black, dusty wind. The black shadow suddenly approached, revealing in the firelight, a spider the size of a toad king. It has two large eyes on the front and six small eyes in pitch black, which is a bit cute at first glance; Eight hairy legs crawled rapidly, giving people goosebumps; Although the body is black, the fluff is black and golden, and it is colorful and flashing in the light of the fire. It slowed down when it saw the firelight, and then pounced on Tu Shi, no one knew if it had thought even for a second.
