Su Xuan walked towards the interior of the village, it was strange that there was no one else along the way, only a few smoking thatched huts proved that there were indeed people living here, Su Xuan almost wondered if he had come to a village that had been deserted.

Su Xuan continued to explore, and finally someone's voice came from a distance, "Everyone come with me, there is a group of bandits sneaking in through the back door, everyone quickly pick up the guys and prepare to attack." The man who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a gray linen suit typical of medieval European civilians, constantly shuttling around the village, knocking on doors from door to door while repeating the words in his mouth loudly, his heavy panting and anxious expression all highlighted the urgency of the incident he shouted, there was no doubt that this was the first human person Su Xuan had seen in this world.

"Optional mission 1: Fight the bandits.

Time limit: 3 hours.

Task Punishment: None.

Mission Description: Assist the villagers to repel or annihilate the incoming bandits and protect the safety of the village;

Optional Mission 2: Escape from the village

Time Limit: None.

Reward: None.

Task Punishment: None.

Mission Description: If the Pioneer does not have the confidence to take on the bandits, they can flee immediately. The system's prompt sounded, accompanied by the information of two optional tasks, appeared in front of Su Xuan's eyes.

"The bandit attack is a bit interesting, and this time I was actually given two optional missions, one to stay and fight, and the other to run away immediately, choose one of the two." After browsing the information of all the optional tasks, Su Xuan noticed that the failure penalty for the two missions was none, and there was no need to think about it, if he failed, he would definitely die in the hands of the bandits, and what kind of task punishment did a dead man talk about.

"But no matter what, I can't run away from this battle, escaping the battle is equivalent to cutting off my own path to becoming stronger, this time I can choose to escape, and the next time there is no way to retreat, I will definitely die." After that, Su Xuan made up his mind and decided to follow the villagers who went to support first and join the battle against the bandits.

After a while, the scene of two groups of people fighting each other appeared in front of Su Xuan's eyes, one of them had a red turban on his head and an iron sword in his hand, while a dozen people around him were holding wooden swords and sticks, and they were no different from villagers in terms of dress. The other group was armed with a rake to plough the land, axes to cut trees, and all kinds of farm tools, and the two groups kept fighting and fighting, but for a while there were no casualties on either side.

Seeing this, Su Xuan knew very well that the man with a turban and an iron sword was the leader of the bandits, and the combat power of this man with a scar on his face was also the strongest among the bandits, and Su Xuan still understood the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and finding an opportunity to kill the bandit leader first would undoubtedly greatly reduce the morale of the bandits, and the situation was instantly clear.

Su Xuan silently took out the cold steel machete from his backpack, held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, stared at the bandit leader, and slowly moved his body in the direction of the bandit leader.

"Hahaha, you pigs to be slaughtered, honestly put the food and valuable items, and contribute a few beautiful women, don't you have nothing to do, you have to ask Uncle Ben to come to the door to get it in person, hmph, in this case, today, you have to die." The bandit leader shouted in his mouth, kicked a villager to the ground, and crushed the villager to the ground, holding the villager's wrist with his right hand, and the iron sword in his left hand was inserted through the gap in the belly of the villager's wooden armor, as if it would be inserted into the villager's heart in the next second.

"That's right, now, the time has come." Su Xuan suddenly accelerated towards the bandit leader, the cold steel machete in his hand was held tighter, he held his breath, concentrated, his hands were slightly charged, and the cold steel machete aimed at the head of the bandit leader and swung it hard, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

"Zila!" With a red fountain at the end of the arc, Su Xuan's strength of up to 10 points cut off the head of the bandit leader like cutting tofu without hindrance, and the head still maintained the arrogant and smug look before his death, flew up from the air and finally fell to the ground.

Looking at this scene, Su Xuan only felt that his brain was a little blank at this time, this was his first time killing, or such a vicious method as cutting off his head, which was completely different from what he learned in a harmonious society, although he had played a lot of bloody and violent games, but there had never been such a bloody reality that made people so nervous, Su Xuan looked down at the cold steel machete in his hand, and there was still residual blood flowing on the black knife in his hand, Su Xuan then took a deep breath, the blankness of his mind and the discomfort in his stomach eased a lot, There will be many such scenes in the future, and I must adapt to such scenes as soon as possible, and if I see bloody and terrifying scenes, my legs will be weak, and that will not work.

"What, the eldest brother is dead?" At this time, a little thief near Su Xuan found that his eldest brother had died in Su Xuan's hands, and began to shout in horror.

"You guy, give my eldest brother a funeral." The other thieves also gradually reacted, ready to kill Su Xuan first to avenge the dead leader, but due to the obstruction of other villagers, only one thief finally broke through and slashed at Su Xuan with a wooden sword.

Su Xuan also began to continue fighting, the cold steel machete in his hand and the wooden sword were intertwined in everything, obviously Su Xuan, who killed the leader, was not something that an ordinary minion could handle, Su Xuan dodged the blow of the wooden sword, and then charged his hands with strength, and slashed down, the cold steel machete ran along the minion's neck until it cut into the wooden armor on his body a few centimeters before stopping, although it was only wooden armor, it was not something that Su Xuan could cut through its defenses with one sword, It is wisest to prioritize the part of the neck, which is exposed beyond the protection of the armor.

The bandits lost their leader and a teammate in just a few minutes, their morale plummeted, and there were already signs of rout and escape, on the contrary, the morale of the villagers who had just fallen into a scorching battle rose sharply, and their combat effectiveness improved a lot compared to before, and they were all riveting and ready to kill all the bandits who came in one go, Su Xuan did not stop and continued to join the rest of the battle, with the bonus of the cold steel machete, Su Xuan shuttled very comfortably in this battle, whether it was a sneak attack or a head-on confrontation, Su Xuan is confident that he will not be left behind.

After a while, the invading bandits were all killed, leaving only a pile of corpses and stumps and broken arms, of course, most of these corpses were bandits, only a few unlucky villagers died at the hands of the bandits, and the battle against the bandits finally came to an end.

Su Xuan sat on the ground and gasped for breath, the nerves that had been tense in the battle just now also relaxed, and the discomfort of forcibly pressing down gradually emerged, and he felt that his legs were weak and his arms were a little sore.

The villagers on the side cheered and celebrated the victory of this battle, and a few villagers hugged their dead relatives on the ground and wept bitterly, an old man who looked a little older, slowly came to Su Xuan with a kind smile, and said: "Thank you for saving our village from danger, I am the head of this village, my name is Somala, if you don't dislike it, please come to my house first, because I want to repay you as much as possible." ”

"Very well, it seems that my problem with eating has been settled." Su Xuan thought about it, then got up and patted the dirt on his body, held the cold steel machete in his hand, agreed to the request to go to his house as a guest, and followed Somara to his house, this time he did not receive the cold steel machete in front of everyone, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion, after all, he doesn't know what level of technology on the magic side of this world has reached now, and some questions are really difficult to answer at that time.

Somara's house was large, very different from the thatched huts of other ordinary villagers, and it also had its own courtyard, in which most of the buildings were made of wood and stone, and the roof was also very waterproof, and the surrounding villagers were busy sorting out and sorting the loot that had just been seized by the bandits.

Somara first led Su Xuan to a house full of loot, and said to Su Xuan: "These are the trophies captured just now, among which the villagers knocked down two bandits, and the rest is taken by the adults, I know you are very tired, but please count them first." ”

"Uncle Village doesn't have to be so polite, just call me Su Xuan." Su Xuan waved his hand in response.

"In that case, then I'll call you Xiao Su." Somala didn't say with a polite smile anymore.

Su Xuan carefully looked at the items on the ground, including 8 wooden swords, an iron sword, a blue turban, an iron armor, and some wooden armor, and leather boots. Su Xuan thought about the same amount for a while, but when he looked at the blue turban, he noticed that something was wrong, he clearly remembered that the bandit leader was wearing a red turban, and the pattern on it was also gorgeous, unlike this blue turban without a pattern.

Su Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Is this turban wrong, I can see that it is obviously a more gorgeous red turban, and there is no problem with other items." ”

"What... What, I know, I'll send someone to check now. Somala, his face changed suddenly, and he began to order his subordinates to investigate this matter, and then he said: "Don't worry, Xiao Su, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, the room and food have been prepared for you, then please go and rest first." ”

After listening to this, Su Xuan no longer bothered about the turban, and began to go to the room prepared by Somara to start eating and resting, to be honest, he was really hungry, tired and sleepy now. After Su Xuan entered the room, he closed the door alone, and the prompt of the system sounded just after eating.

"Optional mission 1, the fight against the bandits has been completed, and the reward will be obtained, and the friendship of the village chief Somala will be greatly increased, and the reputation of the villagers will be increased by a small amount, or the wooden sword x8, the iron sword x1, the ordinary blue turban x1, the iron armor x1, the wooden armor x5, and the leather boots x9."

Su Xuan took a look at the task rewards, whether it was a wooden sword or an iron sword, it was far from his cold steel machete attributes, and although the remaining equipment was rubbish, it could be used at least temporarily, iron armor stamina +2, leather boots agility +1, but this blue turban was an ordinary item without any attribute bonuses.

Su Xuan chose to equip an iron armor and a leather boot, and then checked his attribute panel.
