Chapter 13: The Fat Sheep
"I'm going to see it too, I'm going to see it too!" Xiao Yun took away the binoculars like a child snatching a toy, and after looking for a while, she said: "The one at the door of the stockade... The broken flags are about to fall, and there is no one to help them, and a few are packing their luggage..."
"People are terrified. Look at the area of this village, it should have been the size of a few dozen people, were bandits from other places coming... But the original owner of the village did not beat the water dog, which was beyond my expectations. Xue Qiong said, "I don't know if the group of Qiu Ba who are now in Grosiner, in addition to treasure hunting, still have the idea of suppressing bandits... But anyway, the fat sheep was found. ”
Half an hour later, Xue Qiong and Bald Head arrived at the door of the cottage, and Xiao Yun was not with them.
Crossing a distance of several kilometers in the mountains and forests, normal people will not be so fast, and normal reincarnators will not be so slow.
Among the three, only Xiao Yun, who has become a vampire, has been sent by Xue Qiong to do other work. And the speed of the bald head in the deep mountains and old forests is even slower than Xue Qiong, after all, Xue Qiong has experienced a long period of non-stop escape, and later his speed of escaping in complex terrain can even be comparable to the most elite special soldiers... And the bald head was pulled into the researcher by Xue Qiong before he began to do illegal things.
The reason why the bald head was able to keep up with Xue Qiong's speed in the woods was still due to his physique. Ordinary poisonous snakes, especially poisonous snakes whose venom acts on the blood and nervous system, bite him as if they didn't bite, so the bald head can run away regardless of everything, which allows him to keep up with Xue Qiong, who has entered the woods like his own home.
Therefore, the time it took these two people to reach their destination was only half an hour.
And Xiao Yun directly used the agility of the vampire to leap all the way from the canopy, and it took less than half the time for them to reach the vicinity of the cottage. Although she wasn't really familiar with her current body, she hit a tree once at first, but she quickly got used to it.
Her mission is not to go to the main entrance, but... Climb up the hill behind the stockade, and drop a magic bomb that they had worked on in a hurry.
There were only six of the precious, bomb-made thigh bones, but they had to use up one here. It's not that they're overestimating the strength of the stockade, it's because it really has to be tested, otherwise it's hard to predict what will happen to these things when they are actually used... After all, it was produced by a group of unreliable guys.
After Xue Qiong and Bald Head arrived at the door of the cottage, they confirmed that there was no humanoid energy mass in the cottage, which means that the entire cottage was an ordinary human being, and there was no strong individual guy, so they immediately informed Xiao Yun with team communication. Although they didn't guarantee the cost of the first day's stay, they had killed a few beasts before, so they could still pay for that little phone bill.
Ten seconds later, Xue Qiong saw a bright, but very small energy cluster, drawing an arc from the top of the hill, and then falling on the most crowded place in the cottage...
"Boom !!"
Xue Qiong and the bald head looked at each other for two seconds, and then Xue Qiong lit a cigarette and said, "No need to prepare for battle... Let's go clean up the battlefield, hurry up, and we'll have to figure out how to get some dwell points before it gets dark. ”
No wonder Cha Yao said that this thing should be thrown at least eighty meters... A bomb fell in the center of the cottage, and even the wall enclosed by solid wood was lifted out, you know, although this cottage is not big, but it was originally a place where dozens of people lived, covering an area of at least thousands of square meters, but that's it...
Xue Qiong and the bald head dodged the burning wood and walked into the confines of the cottage. I saw Xiao Yun carrying a blood bag with a straw in one hand, taking a sip like drinking juice, and then rushed out, grabbed a bandit in rags and had just broken a leg, and bit him on his carotid artery...
"Demon... Magician! The villain just went astray for a while, with an eighty-year-old mother on top and a ... Ahh!!h ”
A few seconds later, the poor man, who was not killed in the first place, was turned into a dried corpse.
"Xiaoyun, be modest." Xue Qiong frowned, "At least a few will be left alive." ”
"Hmm, senior..."Xiao Yun threw away the dried corpse in her hand, and there was still a lot of blood left on her clothes and the corners of her mouth... Like a little girl who had done something wrong, she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry senior, I suddenly feel very hungry..."
Although Xiao Yun's vampire enhancement has been modified, and under normal circumstances, she only needs to suck a small amount of blood per week, but don't forget that this is "normal". After a vampire has consumed mana, how do you replenish it? The only way to do this is to suck a lot of blood in a short period of time.
This kind of enhancement of vampires is special in terms of magic. Other enhancements with magical powers may just be a matter of meditation for a while, or just a meal, but vampires are technically undead, not human, so they can't use the same method, and can only convert blood into magic by replenishing blood.
Xue Qiong asked, "How much did you use?" ”
He was referring to magic.
"I don't know..."Xiao Yun knocked on her head, as if she was still a little confused, "Anyway, it's almost running out..."
Because the blast wave of the explosion was so powerful, all the combustible objects in the center of the explosion had been pushed to the periphery, and now there was nothing burning in what should have been a small square.
Xue Qiong and the others roughly cleaned up the burning materials on the periphery so that fresh air could flow in, and then gathered the last few people alive in the cottage here.
After asking, I found out that the reason why such a small village would concentrate so many people, although it was indeed two bandits from the cottage who were concentrated here, but in fact, it was not "take-in" as Xue Qiong guessed, but "annexation".
There was a large group of bandits with hundreds of people - in fact, they were not strictly speaking, they were more like human villages living in the mountains, but when there were fat sheep, they would become bandits... Then when the army began to clean up the nearby forces, they unfortunately became a bunch of unlucky guys. In the end, only seventy or eighty people escaped, but almost all of them were young men, so they swarmed into the home of this good "neighbor" who had only forty or fifty people, and half of them were old and weak, women and children.
And perhaps out of a kind of boring thought, they did not choose to kill the original owner here, but prepared to go west with the people here, to a place where the hands of the axe army could not reach...
Then Xue Qiong and the others came.
The matter was almost asked, and these people were thrown to Xiao Yun to suck blood. Of course, these will not all be sucked clean, but sucked until they are half dead and then handed over to Xue Qiong and the bald head to mend the knife. In addition, Xiaoyun recorded nearly 1,000 points with a bomb, and the consumption of the three of them on the first day of stay was guaranteed.
The most urgent matter was finally resolved, and the three of them decided to really do the promised "reconnaissance"... This time, they aimed at another village, about ten kilometers to the northeast, not to kill people, but to ask something in a friendly manner. Then here, the village, and Grosingl had exactly drawn a triangle, so that the three of them could return to Grosingl steadily before nightfall.
In addition, some information about the Magic Bomb has also been tested. Xue Qiong visually observed that the killing radius was about thirty meters, and the range of the shock wave was much larger... It is enough to be called a "big killer".
However, this experiment also revealed the disadvantage of this thing, which is that it requires too much mana, and it can't be pre-charged, which means that once you use it, almost all of your mana will be consumed. If it's a battle against ordinary humans, the three of them can easily deal with it, but if it's against enemies who also have some supernatural powers...
Realizing this, the trio unanimously decided that this kind of thing should only be used against enemies who were outnumbered but weaker in average strength, and that they would never use this seemingly fierce weapon in a close head-on battle.
Find a way to extinguish the fire around the cottage. The general situation is still unclear, and they will not be willing to let a forest fire cause the various forces of this world to notice them prematurely.
Fortunately, the builders of the site also took fire into account in the first place, so the vegetation around the cottage was cleared, and the explosion did not send the wood with the fire flying too far. This made Xue Qiong and them not need to spend the whole afternoon, just to solve the problem of fire.
After finishing the work, the three of them were about to leave for their next destination when a magical thing happened...
Something flew over "buzzing", at first Xue Qiong and they didn't care, there were a lot of insects in the forest.
But after a few seconds, the thing showed a speed far beyond that of a normal insect, and... fell on Xue Qiong's face.
It's a very big bug, and, it's a... Big cockroaches.
"What the hell!" Xue Qiong reflexively slapped the cockroach off his face, but after the cockroach landed, it began to struggle violently, and after a while, he stopped all movements, as if he was dead, and then saw the cockroach's entire abdomen cracked, revealing from the inside... A roll of paper, about the size of a finger.
"It's... Some way of delivering information? The bald head crouched down and looked at the thing, but didn't dare touch it with his hands.
"Big Little. The only person who knows, knows us, and can use bugs is her. Xue Qiong took out a black dagger, pulled the paper roll out of the cockroach's stomach, and then put on gloves before picking up the paper roll.
The paper roll was rolled tightly, and Xue Qiong unfolded it against a tree before he saw what was written on it.
"I'm a young man, and I've found a fat sheep. A small purple haze was heading towards Grosingl. There are a lot of good things that I can't eat alone. If you're interested, inject some energy into this cockroach and it will take you to my place. I also informed the Flying Bird Group and Liu Yi of this news. I'll keep an eye on my target until six o'clock in the evening. ”
