Chapter 169: Vigil to catch the thief
After arranging the task of catching the [Mutant Fish], Yang Yi patrolled around the backwater oasis. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This time, Yang Yi received a letter saying that there were pioneers making trouble, so he rushed here, but he didn't find any suspicious pioneers after walking around.
According to the old blind eye, those pioneers chose to approach the Fishman Village under construction at night in the dark, so Yang Yi planned to keep vigil in person tonight, but to see what tricks those pioneers were going to play.
It was already close to evening when Yang Yi arrived on the Kodo Beast that was transporting goods, and the sky was getting darker at this time.
In the evening, Yang Yi asked Braque to rest, and he personally led the team to guard the lake.
The night is long, and the vigil is a matter of patience.
There isn't really much to inspect at the moment, except for two walls, which are warehouses, inns, and a few fish-man huts.
Yang Yi took the night watchman to patrol and then returned to the lake.
Bored, Yang Yi took out a fishing rod and started fishing.
Yang Yi now has level 3 fishing skills, fishing in this lake, and occasionally catching [mutant fish], which can be regarded as a harvest.
Fishing is a good way to kill time, and Yang Yi doesn't know how long he has been fishing, but he only knows that the aquatic weed basket used for fishing has been filled with half a basket of [mutant fish].
At this time, a beach patrol fishman came to report, and the fishman noticed that there was activity on the other side of the lake.
Yang Yi was concentrating on fishing, but he didn't find it, and when he looked at it, he found that there were indeed two figures moving in the Minotaur Village on the opposite bank of the lake.
"Who came to the lake so late? You can't be a pioneer who came to do things, right? ”
Yang Yi used the eagle eye technique to look over and found that it was not a pioneer, because it was the figure of two minotaurs.
"Two suspicious minotaurs, come and follow the master of the skill to take a look, and the rest are guarding here."
A team of 10 fishmen, Yang Yi put away the fishing rod and walked in the direction of the two minotaurs with these fishmen.
When I walked in, one of them turned out to be the Minotaur Jerek Gaoshan.
Although he didn't know what the Minotaur was doing at night, he knew that it was the Minotaur Gao Mountain, so Yang Yi was relieved, and he walked over to greet the Minotaur.
"It's Poseidon here, long time no see." The minotaur Gao Shan found out that it was Yang Yi and greeted him happily.
"Jerrick, what are you doing here?" Yang Yi asked.
"Poseidon, I'll introduce you first, this is Moore Ray Horn." Takayama gave way to a minotaur wearing a robe and holding a totem.
Then Takayama introduced to the minotaur beside him: "This is the fish-man Poseidon I said." ”
"Hello Moore, nice to meet you." Yang Yi greeted warmly.
"Oh, a fish-man."
Moore spoke in a cold tone, and it seemed that he, like most minotaurs, did not like to come into contact with fishmen.
Seeing this, the minotaur Gao Shan came out to play a round game: "Moore is a master of making purification totems, and I specially invited him from Mogaolei, hoping that he can help purify this lake. ”
"Jerrick, are you going to clean up the lake now?" Yang Yi ignored Moore, and he asked the minotaur Gao Shan directly.
Takayama the Minotaur nodded: "Yes, the ritual of purifying the lake will take some time, and most of the grumpy pincer-billed turtles go to sleep at night." This is the time to purify the totem and do less damage to these poor pincer-billed turtles. ”
Yang Yi knew that this minotaur Gao Shan was too kind-hearted. If you come during the day, you will disturb the pin-billed turtles, so in order to ensure the smooth progress of the purification ceremony, you will have to kill those pin-billed turtles. Originally, with the strength of the Minotaur, it was possible to purify the lake during the day, but in order to protect these pincer-billed turtles, the Minotaur chose to do it in the middle of the night.
"How long will the purification ritual take?" Yang Yi asked.
"This purification ritual takes place for three nights in a row, each time until before dawn." Minotaur Takayama replied.
"Three nights, it doesn't sound easy. Now, after the purification ritual begins, I'll send a few fishmen to help you keep watch. Yang Yi said
Yang Yi took the initiative to help for the sake of the Minotaur Gao Mountain, but the Minotaur Moore didn't appreciate it: "Let the fishman help guard it?" I don't think we need to, we can complete the purification ritual with this. ”
"Well, in that case, let's go. See you next time, Jerrick. Yang Yi suppressed his anger, he didn't like a hot face and a cold buttocks, so he simply left with the fish man.
Yang Yi's meeting with Jerek during the vigil was not very pleasant, but it was just a small episode. Yang Yi's vigil was to keep watch over the pioneers, and he soon returned to the lake on this side of Fishman Village.
Until late at night, there were only two minotaurs performing the purification ritual on the lake, except for the fishmen.
Yang Yi, who was holding a fishing rod, was already yawning, and at this time, a vague figure slowly appeared beside him, this was Swat, the leader of the fish-man ambush squad in Ratchet Town.
At present, there are less than 10 fish-man ambushers in Ratchet Town, so there is only a team of 10 people, and Swart, the leader of the fish-man ambushers in Ratchet Town, can only be a squad leader temporarily.
"Alien humans, three." Swat pointed to the distance and reported to Yang Yi in the briefest way, not that he was not fluent, but that he had always been silent.
Yang Yi followed Swat's point, there was no figure there, and it wasn't until he used the Eagle Eye Technique that he found three figures lying on the ground, crawling forward.
"Ha, these guys are very well trained."
Yang Yi smiled, he stopped the Eagle Eye Technique and withdrew his vision.
"Swat, can you approach those three aliens?" Yang Yi asked, he hoped to capture these three pioneers alive, so that he could have the opportunity to ask them the purpose of coming here.
Swart shook her head.
When Yang Yi came to the Backwater Oasis, he asked the old blind eye, and the old blind man said that the fish-man ambushers in Ratchet Town were discovered by these pioneers before they got close, and it was obvious that they were prepared, and Yang Yi estimated that they probably drank the elixir of detecting invisibility.
"Potions for detecting invisibility are not cheap, and they don't last very long. Like a level 4 alchemy product [Detect Secondary Stealth Elixir] can only last 10 minutes at a time, it seems that these guys have made a lot of money. Yang Yi asked again: "Now these three alien humans don't know that they have been discovered, right?" ”
Swart nodded firmly this time.
"Swat, you've done a good job, now you go, all the fish-man ambushers have gathered and gone with the master to capture the three sneaky thieves alive. Dare to come to the master's territory to steal chickens and dogs, and live impatiently. ”
Swart gathered all the fish-man ambushers in the backwater oasis, and Yang Yi also used the [stealth] skill, and then took the fish-man ambushers to sneak over like three pioneers.
Spread out, surround!
The three pioneers were still crawling on their stomachs, looking for the target of their trip, unaware that they had been outflanked by the fish-man ambushers.
"Brother Ji, I've been looking for this a few times, where did you say that damn exploration equipment was lost?." A fat man asked impatiently.
"Leather boy, you ask me, I him. Mother. Who is going to ask? The harmful Lao Tzu lay on the ground tonight and gnawed a few catties of mud, and he didn't even see a ghost. A short man replied even more impatiently.
"How many times have I told you, don't swear at every turn. Although we are an underworld, we must be a decent underworld. A long-haired man lying at the front reminded.
The long-haired man was wearing a white shirt under the armor of his upper body, even if he crawled on the mud for a long time, his flowing long hair was not messy, and the neckline of his white shirt was not stained with a single mud spot.
This perseverance and perseverance are really touching.
"Watch around, there are stalkers among the fishmen, be careful that they touch again." The long-haired man reminded.
"Brother Nan, don't worry. This time we all lay on the ground, and those fishmen knew that they were stupid and screamed, and they couldn't find us. Besides, even if you are discovered, you will run away if it's a big deal. The short man said with a smile.
"Then run for me!" The long-haired man said in a low voice.
"What?" The short one asked.
"I'm him. Mother. of them told you to run! The long-haired man scolded angrily and stood up, and ran away as soon as he smoked.
"The wind is howling!" The fat man on the side understood, and quickly got up, quickly following the long-haired man, flexible like a monkey.
The rest of the short ones looked at it, and the figure of a fish-man not far away slowly appeared, which made him tremble and quickly turn over.
"Fishman! There, there are fish people! The short man shouted at the top of his voice as he ran.
Hearing the short shout of a slow response, the two who had already fled were full of contempt.
"Keep them!" Seeing that the three of them had spotted the sneaking fish-man and started to run away, Yang Yi let out a loud shout.
The fish-man ambushers had already prepared, and several fish-man ambushers appeared and surrounded the three pioneers, only to realize that they had been surrounded.
"Drink the medicine!" The long-haired man let out a loud cry, he took out a purple medicine bottle from his arms, quickly uncorked the bottle and poured the potion into his mouth.
The potion was poured into his mouth, and the long-haired man's body slowly blurred, and then disappeared in front of the surrounding fish-men.
The short man and the fat man also took out the same purple medicine bottle when they heard the shout, and then poured it into their mouths, and their bodies disappeared in place one after the other.
"I'll it, the invisibility potion, it's bloody. It's a pity that I met the master tonight. ”
As soon as Yang Yi raised his hand, a bright missile was launched to illuminate the area where the three of them were, and the three of them were immediately illuminated.
This is the hunter's [flare] skill, the flare can illuminate stealth and stealth targets, and Yang Yi has been using it as a signal flare before.
"Catch them!" Yang Yi shouted.
The three of them were very experienced, and immediately after drinking the invisibility potion, they quickly turned around and headed towards the gap surrounded by fishmen.
The invisibility potion lasted for more than ten seconds, which was enough for them to escape, but unfortunately it was immediately illuminated by a flare.
When the flare illuminates the opponent's figure, the fish-man ambusher realizes that the target is no longer in front of him.
"Drink the medicine!" The long-haired man let out a loud cry here, and drank a green medicine bottle again.
When the bottle of green potion was drunk, the long-haired man immediately felt wind under his feet, and his running speed increased greatly.
The other two immediately drank their green potions, and one ran as fast as they could, getting out before the fish-man net could close.
"Your sister! There's also a Quickness Potion! Where do the local tyrants run! Yang Yi saw the three of them run away, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one wave of his hand, a fishman net was thrown.
The effective range of the [Fishman Casting Net] is 35 yards, and the maximum range is 70 yards.
35 yards is probably less than 20 meters away, and the two people who react quickly have already run away, and Yang Yi can only use the [Fishman Netting] skill towards the nearest short one.
The short one was unlucky, the distance was almost 40 meters, and he was covered by the fish-man net.
"Ahh Brothers, I'm trapped by the fishmen, you ...... Run......"
The short man called movingly, and the two people in front of him didn't hear it at all, and they didn't hurry up while the acceleration effect was still there.
The fish-man ambushers swarmed up, each holding two dark daggers to surround the trapped dwarf.
"Don't kill, keep your breath." Yang Yi was afraid that the bloodthirsty energy of these fishmen would come up and stab the people he had finally caught into a hornet's nest.
Yang Yi approached and found that the trapped people had already dropped their weapons on the ground, and seemed to have given up resistance and planned to be captured.
What's more, Yang Yi found that the trapped person was still a little familiar.
"It's not that easy to catch me alive." The short man didn't wait for Yang Yi to ask before he took the first step to speak, and while he was trapped, the short man didn't know where to find a bottle of potion, and then drank it.
Twenty years later, he is a good man again. Hahaha, ah, it's painful, ahhh......h
The short man fell to the ground, and he drank the poison used to commit suicide.
"Your sister, everyone has run away, and there are only fish people left here, who is this show for. Isn't it just resurrection to die, and what the hell is going on twenty years later. Yang Yi was speechless.
"Dead ......" Swat was very upset and did not complete the task that Yang Yi said he wanted to capture alive.
"It's okay, you're doing well, this kid is dead. You said that if you want to commit suicide, you will stab yourself with a knife, why drink medicine, isn't it a waste. ”
Although he didn't ask the purpose of these three people coming here, Yang Yi was actually not completely ungained.
The short man who died by suicide made Yang Yi feel very familiar, and coupled with the long-haired man who escaped, Yang Yi could already determine that these three people were from the Qin Kun Society.
The long-haired man, Yang Yi secretly called him the first sissy of the Qin Kun Society, and he remembered that this person should be eating with Lu Xiaoming now.
The reason why Yang Yi only remembers this long-haired man is because this guy has thick eyebrows and big eyes that are too eye-catching. Of course, Yang Yi would not admit that this was due to his jealousy of the other party's appearance.
"At least it's a bit eyebrow-raising, it's Lu Xiaoming behind his back. I should have thought that this backwater oasis was originally the territory of the Kokar centaurs, and Lu Xiaoming had a relationship with these centaurs, and it was very likely that he was involved in the fact that the pioneers infiltrated in the dark. ”
"What is this Lu Xiaoming going to do? Seeing that a few of them have to drink alchemy potions and touch them again and again, it seems that there is a major matter. ”
Yang Yi thought about it, this backwater oasis had already been burned by the repeated fires, and the ratchet fish people had also been stationed and built here for so long, if there was anything still hidden, it should have been discovered long ago.
"If you want to know the truth, the easiest way is to ask Lu Xiaoming and the people around him. It's just that this kid hasn't been seen recently, and he doesn't know where to run to fool around. ”
Yang Yi planned to get information from Lu Xiaoming and his men, but he didn't know where Lu Xiaoming and his gang were now, and it was obviously not the right time in the middle of the night.
So Yang Yi had no choice but to take the fishmen to continue the vigil to prevent the pioneers from touching in again. (To be continued.) )
