Chapter 33: The Hustle and Bustle in the Woodland (2-in-1)
After realizing that killing the walking corpses would not bring any gain, Chu Ge deliberately avoided those wandering walking corpses on the way, and did not deliberately hunt lone individuals as before.
In fact, the Tirisfal Woodland is a very barren forest, and for some special reasons, there are no more organisms living in it, except for some small animals and insects, and the only resource that can be produced from it is wood.
Normally, the woodland is quiet to desolate at any given time, but it is only theoretically possible to fight to the death anywhere.
For example, what appeared at the edge of Chu Ge's vision at this moment was the two people who were fighting desperately.
To be precise, it should be one of the parties who is constantly resisting in order to survive, although in Chu Ge's opinion, his actions are no longer of much significance.
Because, on his waist, there was already an extremely hideous wound, which was cut by the sharp blade after sneak attack.
Judging by his appearance, the injured one should have been one of the guards who had gone into the woodland with him to deal with the abnormality, and if it weren't for the distinctive characteristics of his clothing, he might not have remembered it for a while.
The attacking side was dressed in a gray suit, and he held a short knife with a large arc in his hand, reflecting a faint indigo color towards the sunny side.
"Even if it's not a deadly poison, the guards don't think they will live long."
Even so, he didn't rush forward immediately, but took a closer look at it first by hiding his figure.
After all, he can't rely on the power of the shadow to run rampant like he did in his previous life.
You can guess something about what happened before without analyzing Chu Ge, and the attacker was one of the members of the Thieves' Guild who participated in the Scarlet Glades incident this time, and it was their job to cooperate with Lyman to kill the invaders.
After observing for a moment, Chu Ge's eyes narrowed slightly, and the time that the guard had been supporting seemed to be much longer than he had imagined.
A large part of the reason why the guards were able to support it all the time was because the thief was very cautious in his attack, always guarding against the opponent's deathly counterattack, so he did not use all his strength, but expected to drag him to death little by little.
To be honest, this kind of steady and cautious enemy is one of the objects that Chu Ge hates to deal with, especially when the difference in strength is not large.
This kind of guy who doesn't even have a second-order guy is naturally able to defeat him head-on, but considering the other party's character, if the other party wants to escape, he estimates that it will take a lot of effort to kill him.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Ge put the serrated dagger he had obtained from Hamz back on his waist, then pulled out the white dagger from the gaiters and rushed out.
At the same time, try to be as excited and angry as possible.
"Hold on, I'll save you right away!"
While yelling, he hurried towards the battle position at full speed, like a hot-blooded teenager who was not afraid of any danger at all.
After hearing Chu Ge's shout, the wounded guard's face instinctively showed a hint of joy, while the thief's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously accelerated the frequency of his attacks.
The strength of the guards themselves is still very good, and they can be regarded as one of the elites in the territory, otherwise the thieves would not be so cautious even when they are seriously injured.
Therefore, the acceleration of the thief's offensive did not play a big role, but was caught by Chu Ge, who arrived in time, and was almost stabbed.
"Can you still hold on?"
Chu Ge's expression looked worried, and he took the time to ask while resisting the thief's blade for the guard.
"I can hold on for a while, but the situation is not very optimistic."
The guards didn't mean to be reckless, but the young man in front of him didn't give him a full sense of security, even if the other party had come with Baron Said, but the young face was really unconvincing.
Therefore, he did not immediately start to treat his wounds, but insisted on continuing to fight the thieves accompanied by Chu Ge.
Although he joined the battle, Chu Ge did not exert his full strength, but kept looking for opportunities.
According to his previous observations, he could feel that the opponent's agility attribute was much higher than his, at least greater than 0.5, and he could not take advantage of himself in terms of strength, and the only advantage was relatively thick health and excellent skills.
In the face of such a cautious opponent, these two can be the capital of their own victory over the opponent, but they do not have the possibility of killing, especially if the opponent wants to escape.
He could feel that once the other party realized that he was in danger, he would not hesitate to leave the fight, and he had to find an opportunity to do his best.
Soon, under Chu Ge's deliberate behavior, the thieves discovered one thing:
That is, every time he attacked the guards, he would be desperately blocked by the young man, and from the young man's anxious expression, it could be seen that he did not want to see his companion continue to be injured at all!
In that case, let's test it a little!
A slightly numb smile suddenly appeared on the thief's face, he gave up most of his defense, and attacked the guards with all his might, selling a small flaw to Chu Ge.
As he expected, Chu Ge did not seize this opportunity, but gave up the opportunity to attack because he was too worried about the safety of his companions, and once again went to block his own attack.
Seeing this scene, the excitement on the thief's face became even more intense.
At this moment, in his heart, Chu Ge seems to have been defined as a fledgling and over-enthusiastic kid, so he will miss the opportunity because he attaches too much importance to the safety of his companions.
Yes, the thieves who tasted the sweetness began to give up most of their attention on Chu Ge's side, and began to fight in a rather risky way, completely leaving Chu Ge aside, attacking the injured guards with all their might, giving enough pressure!
The truth that if you keep it for a long time, Mr. Thief is still very clear, not to mention that there is a seriously injured guy on the other side, if you continue to suppress the other party like this and delay, he will definitely win!
Perhaps, the agency is too clever, and this is probably the case.
When this thought arose in the thief's heart, he had already fallen into the net laid by Chu Ge.
From the very beginning when Chu Ge joined the battle, he already had a plan in his heart.
The previous hot-blooded teenager can be regarded as his true colors to a certain extent, of course, compared to him in the past.
He did succeed in confusing Mr. Thief, but the next development did not go exactly as he planned, but it did not hurt, and the final result did not appear to be much variable.
Faced with Mr. Thief's first "desperate", he stopped.
The second time, he also stopped.
The third and fourth time he stopped.
Just as the pleasure on Mr. Thief's face couldn't help but spew out, he suddenly slowed down his pace a little, and then, finally, Mr. Thief got his wish, and plunged the scimitar into the guard's chest.
At the same time, because the empty door was wide open, the heart was stabbed through by Chu Ge from the back!
"Click! Click! ”
It seems that the boy's behavior would take a turn for the worse at all, and until now, Mr. Thief was still a little incredulous, and his mouth was wide open and he didn't know what to say, and could only pronounce syllables painfully through his chest.
Just in case, Chu Ge slowly twisted the dagger, using special vibration techniques to achieve the purpose of continuously inflicting severe pain, making it lose the strength to resist, and at the same time did not pull out the dagger to prevent heavy bleeding and delay the death of the other party.
This trick was taught to him by an orc butcher, and although it didn't work much during combat, it was effective at some point.
"Isn't it strange that I should have been able to block this attack, but why did this happen?"
"But none of this makes much sense, say what I want to know, and I'll give you a good time."
"Don't try to refuse or deceive me, you will suffer for one more second if you live longer, I still know this level of pain very well, and you will definitely not be able to bear it!"
Chu Ge said slowly and methodically as he shook the dagger, and the smile on his face became indifferent little by little.
Although Mr. Thief was a member of the guild, he had only been subjected to such a terrible torture with only first-order strength, the pain destroyed his reason in an instant, and his limbs were as if they were firmly entangled in chains, so he had to rely on his last instinct to nod his head desperately.
Seeing that the other party immediately compromised, Chu Ge's smile softened slightly, and the frequency of the dagger's vibration was also reduced.
"Tell me your name or code name in the Thieves' Guild, and what mission you're currently on?"
After feeling the pain dissipate for the most part, Mr. Thief's body twitched for a moment, and then the belated sweat completely soaked his cheeks, gasping for breath, and replied with difficulty:
"My name is Jonah, I'm on standby for the time being on the current mission, next one!"
Chu Ge's face did not change, and he continued to ask:
"Choosing to be on call at this time? Why? Also, why did you attack the guards? ”
The thief spat out a mouthful of blood and closed his eyes, as if this would alleviate some of his pain:
"The big man who was supposed to give us the order suddenly lost contact with us, so the next move is still unknown, and the reason why he attacked that guy was to comply with the basic agreement with the Healing Church to exclude all intruders who tried to get close to the inner perimeter, nothing more."
Hearing the words Healing Church, Chu Ge's eyes narrowed slightly, and after lowering his head and thinking about the authenticity of the thief's words for a few seconds, he spoke again:
"Where are the other members of the Thieves' Guild? Do you have a way to reach them? ”
"I know the exact location of only two groups of people, one is located in the north and is garrisoned by the leader, and the other group is the members who are acting with me, there are seven in total, five miles to the east, there is no way to contact each other, kill me!"
As if to get rid of it early, the thief's speed of speech began to become extremely fast, without any intention of concealment, and even took the initiative to reveal some important information.
"Last question, what is the name of the leader in your mouth......?"
"Didiapo, Didiapo Jean!"
Chu Ge nodded, then bowed slightly towards Mr. Thief, and gently pulled the dagger out of the tormented heart, while quickly flashing his body to avoid being splashed by the gushing blood,
"Thank you for your help, go all the way!"

After pushing away the thief's stiff corpse, Chu Ge turned his gaze back to the guard lying on the ground and dying.
After receiving a sacrificial blow from the thief before, he was already seriously injured and completely lost his combat effectiveness, and fell helplessly, blood dripping down the edge of his clothes, and it seemed that if he was not healed by high-level divine arts, he could only wait for death.
"What about you? How can you help me? ”
Chu Ge could easily feel the complicated look in the guard's eyes, but he didn't have anything to explain more.
"Your purpose...... What is it? ”
Perhaps he had already felt the death of his life, the guard asked in a hoarse voice, his vocal cords twitching with difficulty.
Chu Ge touched his chin, his gaze drifted towards the north, and replied:
"What's the purpose...... Naturally, it is here to solve the troubles of His Excellency the Lord, there is no doubt about it! ”
"Is that so......"
The guard let out a heavy breath of turbid air and slowly closed his eyes with a little reluctance.
"It seems that Baron Lille's brainwashing work is quite good, and his subordinates are still thinking about him when they are dying."
Chu Ge slowly walked up to the guard, raised his dagger and stabbed at the other party's throat.

Although the guards were seriously injured and could not recover, Chu Ge still took the idea of waste utilization to the extreme, squeezing out the last drop of his remaining value through the mending knife.
"Heal the Church...... It seems that Andre has already been discovered by Dewell, otherwise he would not have been in contact with the people of the Thieves' Guild. ”
"But until now, I still haven't figured out one thing, that is, Andre obviously has a fourth-order extraordinary strength, why would he still follow Lyman's instructions to do things...... It's weird. ”
Chu Ge wiped the blood on the blade, and while pondering the past, he searched for the belongings on the two corpses.
"Forget it, after all, the people who heal the church have a problem in their brains, and Andre is an outlier among them, so what's so strange about doing such an out-of-tune thing?"
"Are there seven left...... It's the same as where my destination is located, it's in the east. ”
"If I remember correctly, the premise of the hidden facilities in that monastery was ...... Looks like you can take advantage of those guys! ”
It is worth mentioning that in his previous life, Chu Ge did not completely complete the so-called prerequisites, and directly destroyed the mechanism by violence in accordance with Nevenmore's instructions.
