Chapter 3: Horse Theft

The situation in Niujiao Village is completely in Wan Yi's expectations, the system is set up in this way to prevent players from borrowing strength, a village is full of women, children and old people who stay at home, you can't expect these people to fight a gang of vicious robbers! And Wan Yi speculated that if nothing else, the bandits of Niujiaoshan would not go out to loot during the mission, and the system would not allow a third party to intervene to interfere with the difficulty of the mission. Then is it just relying on Wan Yi, who is dressed on a tabula rasa, and a small nobleman to fight more than 30 robbers?

After Wan Yi finished visiting the village, he left the village and compared the terrain around Niujiao Village recorded in the "Miscellaneous Records of Niujiao Village" with what he saw while walking deep into the mountains. A few hours later, Wan Yi had the outline of the vicinity of Niujiao Village in his mind, and then Wan Yi returned to the village, at this time, it was just evening, and the people working in the fields went home to cook, Wan Yi took advantage of the opportunity that the villagers were at home and began to visit door to door, the main purpose was to learn more about the situation in the vicinity from these local populations.

Half an hour later, Wan Yi, who had eaten and drunk, went home satisfied, and did not forget to bring a meal to the little nobles in his hand, although he did not hear any useful news, and these honest people did not even know that they had a group of neighbors who lived by plundering.

After arriving home, Wan Yi put the little nobleman's dinner on the table, and at this time the little nobleman was still asleep, Wan Yi sat on the chair and took out the "Basic Element Knowledge" given by the little nobleman and began to read it. This basic magic book is only a dozen thin pages, and it roughly introduces the magicians who use their spiritual power to communicate the ubiquitous basic magic elements, so as to form the basic magic nodes, and form a stable magic structure through the permutation and combination of the basic magic nodes to release magic. Like Wan Yi's previous collection of fire element magic nodes, after Wan Yi continued to input spiritual power, it would indeed absorb the fire element and gradually expand to form a flame, but this is also the limit, because a single magic node cannot well control the gathered fire element, only dozens of magic nodes are arranged and combined into a stable magic structure to make the spell send out smoothly.

Taking the most basic magic "Fireball" as an example, most people will think that "Fireball" is just a simple fire element, but if there is no wind element in the magic structure that makes up "Fireball", then how can "Fireball" fly out and damage the enemy? If there is no earth element in the magic structure of Fireball, then how can you ensure that Fireball will not dissipate when it is out of the mage's control?

After reading the whole book, Wan Yi did not hesitate to choose to use the "Basic Element Knowledge", as a white light rose from the book and entered Wan Yi's mind, Wan Yi also received a prompt from the system: "Congratulations on learning the primary element control"

Elemental Mastery Beginner (F-Normal): Slightly increased will (if you can learn how to control the magic element, then congratulations, you've already taken half a step on the path of magic)

Learn another skill! Wan Yi was happy in his heart, Wan Yi was constantly trying to perceive the magic elements around him all afternoon, which was a very test for a person, because for beginners who want to feel the existence of magic elements, they must concentrate without a trace of distraction, and for Wan Yi, multitasking is an ability that has long been mastered. And the natural skill "Heart Eye" also further strengthened Wan Yi's perception! Even so, Wan Yi could only feel the presence of magical elements when recording the terrain of Niujiao Mountain, but he had no ability to influence and manipulate them.

And after learning the primary elemental mastery, it seems that the difficulty of operating the magic element has been greatly reduced! This is probably the difference between having a method and not having a method, Wan Yi was like a blind man walking before, but now it seems that there is a slight light in front of him, although the light is small, but as long as he walks towards the light.

Time was spent in Wan Yi's constant practice of manipulating the magic elements, and when Ray Harman woke up, the moon was already hanging high, and he was indeed tired after such a long journey. After the little nobleman finished eating the cold food, Wan Yi took him out, and the two of them took the white horse tied to the courtyard and left the village.

Although Ray Harman was anxious, he was patient when he saw Wan Yiyun's breezy smile and silently followed behind Wan Yi. Fortunately, Wan Yi didn't want the little nobleman to worry, so he told him his plan.

Is Wan Yi going to sneak attack at night? Of course not! Wan Yi was not stupid enough to use two people to sneak attack dozens of people. Wan Yi's purpose is to steal horses! According to Wan Yi's analysis, it is impossible for the robbers of Niujiao Mountain to go out to plunder, because Niujiao Mountain is too remote, and there is still a very long way to go from the official road infested by caravans. Therefore, Wan Yi concluded that the bandits of Niujiaoshan must be a group of cavalry! And there is a high probability that the foreign cavalry will go to Niujiao Mountain to fall into the grass and occupy the mountain as the king! This can be guessed from the fact that the inhabitants of Niujiao Village did not know that there was a gang of robbers on the side of their residence.

Then the problem comes, the rugged terrain of Niujiaoshan Mountain is a natural good place to escape from pursuit, but it is difficult for horses to go up the mountain! Therefore, there must be a grassland near Niujiao Mountain to house the robbers' horses, and Wan Yi's purpose tonight is to find this grassland and steal the horses!

Wan Yi deliberately did not feed the white horse of the little noble, now the already thin horse is so weak that he has no strength to walk, after leaving the village, the group walked to the depths of the valley, the white horse led the way in front, Wan Yi and the two followed behind, along the way the white horse wanted to stop to eat, so he used a horse whip to drive it to continue to move forward. Wan Yi is relying on the animals' innate instinct for food and their own kind to find a pasture for the robbers to raise horses. In this way, the two walked together for more than an hour, and finally saw the grassland and dozens of horses that Wan Yi expected behind a small forest.

When the little nobleman Ray Haman saw these horses, he ran over to check them out excitedly, and sure enough, the horses did not react to the approach of humans, and they were indeed a group of tamed horses. The next thing was simple, and the two of them drove the horses back to Niujia Village overnight.

When the two of them arrived in Niujia Village, the sky had not yet begun to light, but the sound of horses entering the village also woke up the sleeping villagers, and they were startled when they saw the horses. When Wan Yi told them that the horses had been stolen from a gang of robbers, the entire village of Niujiao began to feel uneasy, and then Ray Haman stood up in time to identify himself, telling the villagers that he had been sent by the kingdom to find out about the situation, and that the kingdom's army would arrive in Niujiao Village in the next few days. But for the sake of the villagers' personal safety, Wan Yi advised the villagers to practice horse riding hard and learn to control horses, so that they could escape on horseback when the robbers attacked. It was unanimously decided that the villagers, both men and women, should learn to ride horses. Ray Haman demonstrated to the villagers a few steps of horse riding and a few problems that need to be paid attention to, because these are tamed horses, so the difficulty of control is greatly reduced, and it is more than related to their own lives, so the villagers are very serious, and the villagers in this world are also very good in physical fitness, and it will be okay to fall off the horse and pat the buttocks.

After the explanation, Wan Yi immediately took Ray Haman out of the village and rushed to Niujiao Mountain, in Wan Yi's opinion, although the robbers did not arrange personnel to keep vigil in the pasture, they would definitely send people to take care of the horses. Therefore, all he had to do now was to ambush the robbers who had gone to take care of the horses while they were coming down the mountain to the pasture, and the number of them would certainly not be too many.

After exploring the path yesterday afternoon, Wan Yi already knew the terrain near Niujiao Mountain and the grassland very well in his heart, and it was easy to deduce a route that was most likely to be passed by the robbers.

Soon, when the sky was slightly bright, there was a sound of footsteps in front of me, and it should be two people! The two robbers talked and laughed while walking, not realizing that the danger was coming, when they passed the big tree where Wan Yi and the two were hiding, Wan Yi and Ray Haman fell from the sky, the two robbers were attacked separately before they could react, Wan Yi's weapon was a woodcutter from the villagers, although it was sharp enough but obviously not suitable for fighting, and at the last moment, it was actually given up by the robbers to a fatal position only leaving a long wound on the chest. The bandit who was attacked by Ray Haman was not so lucky, and his entire left arm was cut off alive!

The two robbers were also quite decisive, and the robber who was cut by Wan Yi did not hesitate to turn around and run, wanting to go back to report the news. The bandit, who had broken his left arm, drew the long knife from his waist and attacked Ray Haman.

"You can't let him go, you chase me to solve this!" Wan Yi shouted, raised the firewood knife, and faced the severed arm robber.

Ray Harman hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, please be careful. So he quickly got out and pursued the robbers who had fled.

The bandit with the broken arm couldn't do anything when he saw Ray Harman leave, so he could only ignore his wound and raise a knife to fight with Wan Yi, how could Wan Yi's small body dare to cut with him, but fortunately, the robber's balance with a broken arm was not as good as before, plus Wan Yi was also a veteran of fighting with people in the game for many years, so it was easy to dodge, and he could easily take it down after the robber lost too much blood.

Although the little nobleman was young, his combat power should not be underestimated, and half an hour later, Ray Harman, who had run in pursuit, returned smoothly, and Wan Yi and the two of them easily subdued the bandit with a broken arm who was already dying. Because Wan Yi had ordered him to stay alive as much as possible, Ray Haman didn't kill the fleeing bandit, but just knocked him out and hurried back. After the two rushed to wake up the robber, they pressed the hapless brothers back to Horn Village.

On the way, Ray Haman tried to ask for some information from the two robbers, but they all failed, the two captives were very tight-lipped, no matter how much the little nobles coerced and lured, they only kept silent when they asked anything, and Wan Yi did not expect to know anything from them.

After arriving in the village, Wan Yi found two old men to tie up the two robbers, instructed the villagers to practice horseback riding, and then returned to the house of the former village chief where he lived and lay down on the bed and went offline.
