Just as Zoe and Elena were walking towards the capital St. Petersburg, passing through a small village, seeing that the living standard of this village was extremely low, Zoe walked to the village square in confusion, and found that the villagers were almost skinny and seemed to have not eaten enough for several days, Zoe asked a listless villager with his head down, "What is going on here?

The villager slowly raised his head when he heard Zoe's question, and saw Zoe and Yelena behind him stunned for a moment, and then said, "There is a bandit near our village, and they come to take our food every now and then, and we have no food to eat."

Zoe asked suspiciously, "Isn't there a Self-Defense Force in your village?" The Self-Defense Force is a self-protection team set up in each village, and the number of Self-Defense Forces is determined by the size of the village

The villagers said helplessly, "The Self-Defense Forces are not the opponents of those people at all, they lost not long after the battle, they were beaten to the ground and it was useless to ask for help, when the army came, they ran into the forest, and when the army left, they came out and wreaked havoc, there was no way at all."

Zoe and Elena looked at each other and nodded at the same time, and Zoe asked, "How many robbers were there? How many of your Self-Defense Forces were there at the time? When do they usually come out? Haven't you even thought about moving?"

The villagers thought for a while and said uncertainly: "The number of people is about 100 people, our Self-Defense Force is 200 people, the time is irregular, sometimes two or three days, sometimes it is half a month and a month to move? Don't laugh, how can we still have the strength to move? Like now the Yuan Beasts are all over the continent, and we have no way to go on the road full of dangers, not to mention that even if we go to other towns, they may not necessarily take us in!"

Yelena's eyes were full of sympathy and anger when she heard this, sympathizing with what had happened to the village, and angry at the ruthlessness of the robbers.

Zoe is thinking about how to deal with more than 100 bandits, the bandits who can easily defeat the 200-person Self-Defense Force obviously have a strong strength, at least no worse than an army of 150 people, or even more than that, not to mention that Zoe They only have two people, and humans are not like primitive beasts with heads and brains, not to mention that the number of invaders does not represent the number of the entire bandit group, maybe there are other warriors and magicians in it

Thinking of this, Zoe thought to himself, "The difference between two or three days and a month or so is probably not very far," and Zoe asked the villagers, "Then may I ask when they came the last time, and in which direction did they leave?"

Although the villagers didn't know what Zoe was asking so much, they still said truthfully, "The last time was about three days ago, they left towards the large forest in the west, if you want to go there, I advise you not to go."

Zoe asked the villagers suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

The villager said, "That forest is full of many fugitives, as long as it is the empire, many of them have fled to that side, so we call that forest the original sin forest, there is no shortage of criminals with strong strength, and there are also wanted officers of the empire, and there are many yuan beasts also settled in it, entering the forest is simply looking for death, not to mention which nobleman you are dressed in, right?"

After listening to this, Zoe roughly understood the combat effectiveness of the group of robbers, the robbers with officers and strong strength, maybe this fight was simply a fight with the army, Zoe thanked the villagers, and Elena prepared to go to find out the whereabouts and strength of the robbers at night, and then set up a trap to kill them

In the evening, Zoe and Yelena don the black clothes provided by the villagers and head towards the Forest of Original Sin. Because the villagers heard that Zoe was going to deal with these robbers they hated, they did not hesitate to provide some clothes and props, although they were not very valuable, but they were practical

After entering the forest, Zoe found many warning and protective traps, which Elena wanted to destroy, but Zoe stopped them in order to prevent the robbers from raising their alert, anyway, it didn't affect Zoe and their progress at all, and maybe it would be useful

Zoe and Elena finally found traces of people after solving a few short-eyed primal beasts on the way, Zoe warned Elena to move slowly, because maybe there are not only warning traps ahead, but also the possibility of a dark whistle, just after Zoe and Elena walked slowly for more than ten minutes, Zoe found a dark whistle, and there are a lot of them, obviously these robbers are already frightened birds, and they are always on alert

After Zoe cleared the nearby outpost, she silently went to the place where the robbers were hiding, and the robbers almost always lived in military tents, presumably to be able to leave quickly in the event of an enemy attack. After infiltrating the bandit's hideout, he headed towards a relatively luxurious tent inside, Zoe felt that there were several strong opponents outside the tent, almost all of them were at the same level as Zoe, and one was even a little stronger than Zoe, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty, but because Yelena also joined the hiding training, even the strongest person did not notice that Zoe and Yelena had infiltrated

Zoe and Yelena were clinging to the tent when they heard a person with a deep voice inside say, "The villages around here have been robbed, and there is not enough for more than 300 people to eat, and if this continues, everyone will disperse!"

The man with the strongest combat power said, "Enna had to go out of the forest a little further away and rob it, where do you say?"

A female voice said, "Then go and rob the village in the north, there are many caravans there, even if there is a mercenary group to protect it, it is useless, as long as there are dozens of more magicians, it will be solved!"

After that, there was silence in the tent

Five minutes later, the bandit leader said, "All right, let's go in two days!" and the meeting ended after the group replied

In order not to be discovered, Zoe and the others slowly left the robbers' hiding place after all the robbers left the tent

After Zoe and Elena left the bandits' hideout, they first went to the place where the robbers must pass through tomorrow, preparing to kill all the robbers, and now Zoe and their only advantage is that the robbers still don't know about their existence, and a sudden attack under the conditions of the enemy and the enemy will definitely get the best effect, but if they fail, they will also fall into the tragedy of destruction

Zoe and they walked cautiously to the north, so as not to leave traces for the robbers to guard against, and walked to a trap area set by the robbers, Zoe moved to change the location of these traps a lot, the first half of the trap is a two-stage trap, that is, it will not be activated when it is first stepped on, and it will not be activated when it steps on another mechanism behind, and if it is stepped on back, it will also launch the trap that was not launched in the first half to catch it off guard, and suffer heavy losses. As for the second half, there are some powerful traps, including giant trees and poison arrow traps

As for the warning traps, because they were afraid that they would startle the snake, Zoe and they didn't take the risk of modifying them

By the time these traps were set, Zoe and Elena were already covered in sweat, and because of this division of labor, their relationship had increased a lot, and Elena sat down directly after doing the last trap and complained, "Whew! I'm so tired, I'm doing hard labor for the first time in my life!"

After hearing Yelena's complaints, Zoe smiled and said, "People are born to work, not to mention that this time we are going to destroy this group of bandits who do all kinds of evil! And it's not over yet, there are still some traps to be done behind, come with me!" After saying that, he headed further north

Elena heard what Zoe said, so she had to follow Zoe and continue to work, but she was complaining, but she was very happy in her heart, Zoe and Elena kept walking out of the forest, and Elena asked suspiciously, "Isn't the trap going to be done in the forest?"

Zoe patiently explained, "When they encounter those traps, they will definitely lose more than half, after the traps, in order to reduce the losses, they will move more cautiously, in case they are transferred into the trap again, and as you said, the traps are usually in the forest, so when they go out of the forest, they will definitely relax their guard, then it is easy to make them transfer into the trap again, and the trap we are going to use is a hole in the ground, that is, dig a big hole, and put a giant thorn under the hole, so that they will die when they fall!" ”

Elena asked, "How could they jump when they saw the hole?"

Zoe took the trouble to continue, "Of course, it needs to be covered with something, but in order to cover up the sand covered by the burrow, we need to use earth magic to loosen the land of this grassland, so that it looks pretty much the same!"

Elena had a rough idea of what she said, but she still said questioningly, "How can you be sure that they will definitely go down this path?

Zoe was surprised that Yelena was so careful and said, "I didn't expect you to think of this problem!, but they are also a dead end when they go back, after the two-stage trap I used is launched, it is not a single attack such as a giant wood poison arrow, but a large amount of deadly gambling energy, because the process is very dangerous, so I didn't let you know about these things, but since you have raised doubts, I will not hide it!"
