The middle-aged man was already scared at this time, and the strength of the other party also made him know that this time he had hit the iron plate, and his usual caution made this middle-aged man not exert his full strength at first. When choosing the location to attack Locke and his party, the middle-aged man also chose the place with the most obstacles and the most secret place suitable for escaping.

The middle-aged man who fled quickly, although he was afraid, couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was able to escape.

The middle-aged man who was fleeing did not notice that Locke was chasing after him not far behind.

Although the vines are dense, there is no obstacle for Locke, who can perceive souls.

Locke could sense his target scurrying left and right among the vines, trying to hide his escape. None of this made sense to Locke, though.

Locke's speed was originally much faster than that of the big man, and soon Locke caught up from behind.

"This. When Locke approached him, the middle-aged man who was fleeing finally found Locke catching up behind him, and he was terrified for a while.

Knowing that his speed was not as good as Locke's, the middle-aged bandit instantly stopped his senseless escape and turned his head to face Locke.

Although his strength is far less powerful than Locke, the middle-aged bandit is not willing to wait for death, even if the hope of escape is small, he also hopes to be able to save his life desperately.

Without waiting for Locke to attack, the middle-aged bandit took the initiative to raise his big axe and slash at Locke.

Locke raised his sword and easily stooded the apparent axe.

The middle-aged bandit blocked one of his axes, and the axe he grabbed with his other hand slashed again from the side.

"What's going on?" Suddenly, the middle-aged bandit felt a pang of weakness for no apparent reason.

And a period of weakness in the body also affected the bandits' blow. The center of gravity of the body immediately shifted, and the body was unbalanced as a result. The bandit, who lost his balance, only felt a pain in his waist, and it turned out that the long sword with which Locke was holding his big axe had already been drawn, piercing his body at this moment.

The long sword that Locke pierced through his body twisted at will, and the sharp long sword instantly cut off half of the opponent's body.

The bandit fell to the ground weakly, struggling to get up and flee. However, Locke would not give him a chance to survive, so he stepped forward and pierced the opponent's heart with a sword.

Although the opponent was a fourth-level warrior with rich combat experience, Locke only used a necromancy weakness technique to kill the opponent, plus two swords.

The sudden undead magic made the other party have no time to react, so he was hit, and was solved by Locke in an instant, even if he has rich combat experience, he has no chance to use it.

At this time, Locke had already tracked the bandit leader into the vine jungle and killed the target bandit, and Locke naturally wanted to go back.

Just as Locke was about to leave, he suddenly had an idea and thought that he hadn't taken the loot yet.

An existence of the intermediate warrior level, although it is impossible to be rich, but there should still be some fragmentary coins. And Locke now has a large number of subordinates to feed, and the consumption of living materials naturally falls on Locke.

With a movement of his mind, the stone tablet in Locke's body appeared instantly, and then the corpse of the middle-aged warrior connected to his weapons, and a pair of large axes disappeared in place at the same time, and were collected by Locke into the altar space. If it was in front of people, Locke's possession of the treasure stele naturally needed to be concealed, but in this vine, there was no third party, so Locke naturally did not need to hide the existence of the stele.

In just a few minutes, Locke was back at the beast's driving location. When Locke returned, the battle beside the beast was over, but the battle of the warriors on Locke's side was not over, and several of the warriors who had gone to pursue the bandits had not yet returned.

Knowing that the strength of the warriors on his side is stronger than the strength of the bandits, Locke is not worried that his subordinates will be killed or injured, and even if his subordinates die a few, Locke will not care, in this world, Locke believes in his own strength the most.

Beside the beast, Eain's warrior followers searched for the belongings of the slain bandits.

Irin's fifth-level subordinate general, Ahan, interrogated a captured bandit warrior on the side, hoping to learn from the bandits' mouths about their information and the strength of other bandits in this mountain and forest area.

The captured bandit was a second-class warrior, and although he had saved his life, one of his hands had been cut off by Ahan, and the other arm had also been discounted, and the other party had not yet developed a fighting spirit, so it could be said that he had no power to resist, and could not pose any threat to Locke and his party.

The torture was still ongoing, but the warriors who had collected the belongings of the dead bandits had already cleaned up all the bandits' bodies on the battlefield. These bandits are only low-level bandits with strong banditry, and their own property is extremely limited. The coins on the bodies of nearly forty bandits added up to only a few gold coins, dozens of silver coins, and a few copper coins. However, the weapons and armor possessed by these bandits are worth a lot of coins, and if they are sold, they are worth at least dozens of gold coins.

In the Loki plane, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins.

Of course, there are also some ancient magic coins, each worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and the purchasing power is even higher, and they are generally only circulated among some upper-class nobles and powerful people.

Ten minutes passed, and the subordinate warriors among the chasing vines also returned to Locke's side one by one.

This time it was attacked by bandits, and Locke's side was caught off guard by a young warrior who was killed by the bandits, and no other warriors fell. At most, there were only a few young soldiers, and because of their lack of combat experience, they were shot by bandits during the battle and were injured, but they were all slightly injured. For these young fighters, they can fully recover from a full ten days and half a month of rest.

Of the nearly 50 bandits who attacked, most of them lost their lives, except for a few who escaped.

Under the torture of the experienced fifth-level warrior Ahan, the captured bandits quickly told the information that Locke and his party wanted to know.

In this mountain forest, there are dozens of bandits, large and small, who are powerful. Among them, there are five places where the larger bandits are powerful, and one of them is the bandit force where this gang of bandits is located. From the other party's account, Ahan quickly found out the information he needed.

When the bandits were telling, Locke, who was standing on the side, naturally knew what he had revealed.

Each gang of bandits has an intermediate warrior or a bandit leader with the strength of an intermediate warrior. Among the five larger bandits, there are several intermediate warrior-level existences, and even the bandit leader may be a sixth-level warrior-level existence. Moreover, there is nowhere to be a big bandit leader, they all have their own copycat strongholds, which are different from other bandits.

This gang of bandits has a stronghold cottage not far away, and the mid-level warrior that Locke killed after the most is only a small leader in this gang of bandits, and there are three other small leaders of similar status and the strongest leader in their power.

After Locke learned of the news, he immediately planned to go to the bandits' stronghold and exterminate the bandits who attacked him.

Locke's intention was not purely to avenge the attack, but to attack the treasures accumulated by the bandits in the stronghold to attack the caravans of passing pedestrians.

Yilin was demoted from the family, and he also cut off the family's resource supply, and now Locke cultivates his subordinates and the resources he needs to improve his power are all on his own to fight for happiness. Of course, after all, Yi Lin is a member of the Freud family, and he is also the son of the Grand Duke, and his talent is not low, even if he makes a mistake and is demoted, the family also gives Yi Lin a way to obtain cultivation resources, which is to go to Da Mo City on the edge of the Duchy of Flo to obtain the resources he needs.

Now, the hundreds of gold coins that Illin had accumulated and stored were only enough for the normal expenses of Locke and his party for about a year at most. If Locke wants to prepare more precious materials and resources for his sister to study magic, he will need more financial resources.

Ahan, who was interrogating the captured bandits, still didn't know what to say, and the master he was guarding had already planned to go to the bandit stronghold alone and prepare to destroy his stronghold.
