The cottage occupied by Zhao Wenrui is called Qiu Village.

For Freemasonry, the main value of the mounds was not the 'game sausage' that had a certain reputation in the Holden region and beyond, but the border transit point for the human smuggling trade.

The production and sale of sausages mixed with 'fragrant meat' is just a side business that is born from dealing with those who cannot afford to be trafficked.

It was also a coincidence that Zhao Wenrui came, just a batch of goods was sent away, and most of the good people stationed in Qiuzhai participated in the escort and delivery, which was relatively easy for him to get it.

And the first wave of rapid reaction forces, led by Benson, also made the typical mistake of underestimating the enemy.

First of all, Zhao Wenrui is just one person.

Secondly, according to the informant, Qiu Zhai's already small number of professional thugs were basically pitted by Zhao Wenrui and locked up in the trap hall.

With such a preconceived cognition, it is not difficult to understand that Benson and his entourage underestimated Zhao Wenrui's strength.

They didn't even think that Zhao Wenrui would stay in the hill and not leave. Instead, he felt that Zhao Wenrui would quickly flee from the hill after venting his anger. Their main way of interacting with Zhao Wenrui was to chase and escape, and Qiu Zhai was just receiving it by the way.

It's a pity that this idea was calculated by Zhao Wenrui, and Zhao Wenrui is an atypical fighter. What's more, living in a cruel area like the Divine Wasteland for more than a year has sharpened Zhao Wenrui's heart to a considerable extent, he will not easily cause trouble, but he will not easily admit it after the war.

The people of Qiuzhai, and even the black knights led by Ben Sen, did not make Zhao Wenrui feel the threat of having to evacuate and escape, so he relied on it and did not leave. After all, once his extremely fast farming, or technical system is deployed, playing positional flow tactics can increase the multiplier of comprehensive combat power, and the daily life of the god-destroying wasteland also makes him accustomed to one-to-many.

Benson and Thorin were distressed and regretted that they did not have a secret mage with them this time, but they didn't know that even if the secret mage Emon was not injured and came with him again, they were helpless in the face of the demonic fog that Zhao Wenrui had drummed up.

This magic fog not only refers to the composition structure of the shadow squid magic mist, but also protects it in a barrier-like way.

Its first characteristic is its non-magical properties. It's not a magic effect, and there is no magic circle, but it's part of an ecosystem that is biased towards the scientific side.

Of course, it is a bit nonsense to talk about science in this world, and extraordinary skills penetrate into the lives of ordinary people, and omnipresence is the truth, and there is almost no pure science.

However, we can also talk about style, Zhao Wenrui's origin determines that he will understand, learn, apply, and self-consistent extraordinary power from a scientific perspective.

Thus there is the basis of the positional flow, the shadow field.

In the later stages of his life in the Wasteland, he was constantly pondering, why did the dark wizard have the Rotten Swamp and the Dark Forest, and the necromancer had the Ancient Battlefield of the Cemetery, but the shadow system with less extreme power characteristics did not have its own exclusive environment?

Although light and shadow accompany each other, shadows are everywhere, but in his opinion, this cannot be understood as broad but not refined, and the ecology of shadows is too fragile and can be easily destroyed.

Of course, it is also easy to recover. But the problem is that being easy to destroy means being unstable, and the environmental bonus that is unstable and is even likely to be used by the opponent and become a trap is full of strong chicken ribs. Especially when the master is overplaying, this kind of instability is really unreassuring.

As a result, environmental transformation has become one of his many research topics.

The final development of the prototype of the Land of Mists began with this project. And the appearance that can be developed quickly, gold finger naturally plays a pivotal role.

The other is the use of divinity, Zhao Wenrui used divinity in plant mutations, so that he has several mutated plants, including his holy wood Youmu, as well as the shadow bamboo that plays the role of a channel and the ghostly light grass that produces it.

The Shadow Light Grass is like a combination of a water lifter and a humidifier, absorbing the power of shadow through the shadow bamboo to the main material plane, and then discharging it like a eucalyptus tree secreting and releasing toxic substances, which is the core of the formation of demonic mist.

In addition, there are variant runes of the shadow totem, as well as plants and insects, each with its own role, thus forming a closed-loop ecosystem.

The ecosphere as a whole is not two bordering areas, but areas that merge with each other, thus forming the characteristics of the world on the outside – the same framework, different styles.

And since it is an ecosystem, there is a law of operation. One of the rules is that the main material plane fogs up during the day and disappears at night, while the shadow plane does the opposite.

So, Thorin, who used a magic dagger to enter the shadow plane, and several other black blades, saw a mist-free mound.

Thorin only glanced at it a few times, then hesitated. The other black blades took his head as a horse, and they didn't act rashly, and they would rather feel the distress of the San value there.

After some thought, Thorin still beckoned to the Black Blade and chose to exit the shadow plane.

Benson frowned and leaned in to ask, "What happened?"

Thorin said with a gloomy face, "I'm afraid we've provoked something powerful this time. I saw another hill in the shadow plane just now!"

Although Benson didn't have the ability to enter and exit the shadow plane, he still knew some basic knowledge, and he asked, "Does this mean that the two realms are merged?"

"Not sure yet. Sorin explained: "But being able to replicate the hill on the shadow plane at least shows that the other party's skills in space, space, and plane are far ahead of us, and the understanding and use of the shadow plane is not comparable to us, and I even suspect that this is not something that one person can do at all." ”

Ben Sen suddenly said: "Yes, why didn't I think of this, don't you think the timing of this person's coming to the hill village is too coincidental? Maybe it was a premeditated action, and it was bright and dark, since they have a good hand at controlling the shadow, then a team from the shadow plane is naturally not a problem, which is why that person obviously entered the trap hall of the hill, but in the end he was able to trap the remaining good hands in it." ”

Benson's brain is wide open, and he makes up for it.

Solin thought about it along his train of thought, and also felt that there was indeed such a possibility, and said: "Anyway, now that it has been basically confirmed that the other party has a great advantage in technology and geography, I think we should be cautious and report to the branch." ”

"Basically agreed. But I think it's better to at least test and gather more information than to be ordered to do so. ”

"Hmm......" Thorin muttered for a moment, and basically agreed to Benson's proposal.

In addition to assassination, another business segment of the Black Blade is intelligence gathering, including quasi-military reconnaissance.

Just like when two armies face each other, a rigid reconnaissance with an obvious confrontational nature that collects information about the opponent like a scout is a quasi-military reconnaissance.

Thorin pointed out the nature of the reconnaissance to Benson: "At the moment, we don't have the advantage of stealth and suddenness, so it's actually a fire reconnaissance, and it's a bit risky to send a single soldier......"

Benson naturally heard that Thorin was afraid of the opponent's skills and worried about the loss of his men.

He had similar concerns.

For him, the beautiful completion of this operation can be regarded as atonement for his crimes, and the previous defeat punishment of nearly half of the manpower is basically offset.

The second level is to test that the enemy is indeed strong, carefully planned, and prepared, and it is understandable that he lost his troops under the suspicion of insufficient intelligence and a certain degree of misdirection.

But if you lose a lot of money again in the process of probing, even if you get important information, it is equivalent to messing up.

But on the other hand, it is also a failure to delay in solving the problem, and to mobilize the people, thereby attracting the attention of the official or other forces, and exposing the village. This is also the reason why he took advantage of the big favor and was in a hurry to solve the problem.

After some consideration, Benson decided to hold on this time, obviously unable to hold on, so don't gamble on his property like a red-eyed gambler.

After some discussion with Thorin, the group evacuated again.

Now, it was Zhao Wenrui's turn to feel uncomfortable.

As the saying goes, you can't keep it alone, and you will lose it if you keep it for a long time.

He is now alone, and there are no friendly troops to maneuver outside, so he expects his opponent to be reckless, let him collect some heads, earn some materials and revenge points, and at the same time vent the evil anger in his heart, and it is not in vain to arrange this painstaking arrangement.

But the other party was obviously outnumbered, but he chose to come intimidatingly, and the spell he specially prepared for fighting occupied the spell position and failed to play a little role, which was a loss.

In addition, some of his puppets are time-sensitive.

For example, the rejuvenating puppets concocted in a brutal way, these puppets can be understood as stuffing unqualified souls after brain death, and controlling the body to carry out destructive operation, and the body will collapse and rot after a period of time.

This is the difference between him and the authentic necromancer, a half-hanger is a half-hanger after all.

Zhao Wenrui began to think, and finally he decided to give up the positional flow and take the initiative to attack a wave!

He believes that since the other party is fighting steadily, then if he waits any longer, I am afraid it will be difficult to wait for a good opportunity to harvest the profits.

Wait for the other party to come next time, I'm afraid there will not only be spellcasters, but also heavy weapons, if you pull a few cannons over, and then use a few mecha to play Butan in front of you to fight together, then he lacks restraint heavy weapons, and he has exhausted his means, and I am afraid it will be difficult to have good results.

It's better to think backwards, while the flesh and blood of the cannon fodder is still fresh, and be reckless. Maybe you can also play a game of last-mover first-come, chasing the enemy and ambushing the enemy.

Just do it when you think of it, he already has a dead hand system layout in Qiuzhai, and now after some fine-tuning and implementation, Qiuzhai is properly arranged.

After that, he led the puppets out of the shadows and headed towards the town of Black Earth.

It was nearly noon, and the dirt road was not wide, and the cars and horses were sparkling, and this was the returning Benson group.

The Blackblades were naturally proficient in equestrianism, but they preferred to ride in a carriage rather than a horse, and the specially made carriages were not only comfortable and safe, but also a small arsenal.

In addition, riding in a car consumes less energy and physical energy, and the concealment and safety are also better.

Like now, their group looks more like ordinary goods dealers, not like black riders, pulling the wind to pull the wind, but they also put themselves in the open, too eye-catching.

Benson didn't ride in a car, he was more used to riding horses. A dark gray wide overcoat covered the battle suit, and even his group of war horses also wore horse coats to cover the divine horses, making the whole look much more low-key.

Thorin also rode alongside Benson, and the two discussed whether they were paired or not, and the next plan of action was gradually refined.

But they didn't know that Zhao Wenrui really came from behind and recognized them.

It's not just a matter of saying that the shadow plane can be ultra-close.

Of course, there are many specific theories about shortcuts, and certain conditions must be met. And Zhao Wenrui was able to take the lead this time, mainly because he and his puppet army had better mobility ability.

The wounded and dead war horses captured yesterday were also made into puppets by him.

These puppets are also rejuvenating golems, except for the defect of timeliness, everything else is very good, fast, powerful, and tireless, of course, letting their effectiveness lead to a further reduction in their timeliness.

But Zhao Wenrui doesn't care, anyway, he is cannon fodder who will not lose a wave of recklessness.

With the tireless fast horse-drawn special plow, and Zhao Wenrui's blessing of the BUFF attribute that is not affected by the terrain, although Zhao Wenrui and his party are more numerous, the marching speed is much faster than that of Ben Sen.

Since he was really on the same road and was caught up again, Zhao Wenrui naturally would not let go of Ben Sen and them easily, he led people to quickly catch up in the shadow plane, and went to the front to set up an ambush first.

More than half an hour later, Benson and his entourage were about to leave the small hilly area, out of the small hills, and in front of them was the boundary of Black Earth Town.

As the seat of hundreds of square kilometers of land, Heitu Town is second to none in terms of population, economy, and farmland area. The flat black soil and fertile fields on its periphery are the reason why the black soil town got its name in the first place.

Along the way, Benson and the others were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and they were on guard. The roads in the small hilly area are tortuous and the view is seriously obstructed, so Benson and the others are naturally very careful.

Now that they have successfully walked out of the small hills, and in front of them is a large area of black soil farmland that has been harvested, and Ben Sen and the others are relieved in their hearts, feeling that they have come back to this kind of area with a good view and a black soil town in sight.

And Zhao Wenrui, taking advantage of the opponent's psychology, did not choose forest roads and hilly terrain to set up ambushes, but chose this black soil of Ma Pingchuan.

After all, for him, having a wide field of vision and nowhere to hide is not a problem at all, and the shadow plane is the best hiding place.

The bomb had already been planted, and Zhao Wenrui was secretly staring at it, feeling that the timing was right, and suddenly detonated.

Despite the purpose-built vehicles they were using, they were still heavily damaged by the loud explosions, five of which were overturned on their backs.

Before the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, and when the smoke and flames were heavy, a shadow vine had already appeared, pulling people or vehicles into the shadow plane.

At the same time, the bone beast pounced from the shadow plane, playing grappling and bondage when it saw people, and turning a blind eye to all kinds of blows on Bensen's side, it was completely a hard-skinned and rigid style of play.

The returning golem is responsible for fighting those dragged in the shadow plane, or blocking the doors of the carriages.

Their fighting skills and brains are far inferior to those of the Black Blades, but they are just as good as they are, that is, they are not afraid of damage. The Blackblades' vital blows don't make sense to them, so it's only fitting to use them to block traffic doors.

As soon as the door is blocked, the carriage becomes a cage, and the black blades can naturally break out of the cage, but it takes time, and with a time buffer, Zhao Wenrui can concentrate on destroying part of it first.

This time, he also participated in the battle directly, but instead of fighting face-to-face, he used the advantage of the caster to hide in the shadow plane and constantly output damage.

Shadow crows, shadow vines, bone beasts, and the three-plate axe were used by him.

The Shadow Raven can make people think wildly, and there is no time to care, the Shadow Vine takes the opportunity to attack, or coil the live spike, and then the bone beast flies and grabs, most of the targets can't carry the three-plate axe, and they are killed or captured.

Zhao Wenrui also summoned with allies in the 7 rings, and recruited six shadow snakes to participate in the battle, these big snakes with bodies as thick as an adult's waist, although they can't be active in the sun, their combat effectiveness is overwhelming, fast and agile, and their protection is also extremely high, whether it is entangled, devoured, or sprayed poison, they are very useful.

The attack was successful, and in less than 3 minutes, a series of blows put Benson and them at an absolute disadvantage.

After being bombed, Benson and Thorin quickly and efficiently gathered a small group of people to fight, Zhao Wenrui noticed, but did not go to the death for the first time, but the persimmon picked up the soft pinch, and first tried his best to attack those who were not in good condition, and the results were also remarkable.

Zhao Wenrui was excited: "In the third round, I won, indisputably ......"
