Chapter 2 Water Bandits
"This kind of ...... This feeling...... Great!" Although I was tired and couldn't move, my mood at this time was difficult to describe in words.
"It seems that the pain just now was not in vain, I seem to feel that this sword move has reached the point of doing whatever I want after countless practices, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a magical thing in the world!"
"Of course, the things exchanged by the system are genuine, and the host only needs to accumulate more points as soon as possible, and he can reach an insurmountable height in a short period of time."
"It's so nice"
The drowsiness of overconsumption gradually set in, and he fell asleep on the floor before he even climbed into bed.
The days on the ship pass very slowly, every day after waking up, except for some must eat, communicate, etc., the rest of the time is spent on the cultivation of swordsmanship, although through the empowerment of Qi Yue in a short period of time to master the use of basic swordsmanship, but after all, it is not his own cultivation, everything is still a little strange, it is inevitable that there will be problems when facing the enemy, every day the extra time is used to practice swordsmanship, hoping to be able to integrate it as soon as possible.
This kind of time lasted for nearly six days, and at this time, Qi Yue had left Yeming City for half a month.
As he practiced swordsmanship in the past few days, he found that his progress had gradually slowed down, and he did make rapid progress at first, but as these moves became more and more proficient, he felt that his progress was getting smaller and smaller, and in desperation, he could only pay attention to the water bandit who had not appeared.
"System, where are the water bandits you are talking about? We have all been down the river for half a month, and we should arrive in Yanting Country in a little more than a month. We won't miss it, right?" these days, I took the time to go out to observe every day, but let alone the water bandits, I couldn't even see a shadow boat, and after asking the people on the boat, I knew that as the situation between the north and south of the Linxian Kingdom became more and more tense, and the Li River was at the junction of the north and south, few people took the waterway during this time.
"Ding~~ The way this task is completed is to let the host choose the enemy to destroy by itself, so no one will attack the host's ship!"
"Then what should I do? I can't get off the boat now, so I can't tell them to put me on the shore!"
"Ding~~ According to the system, the ship's supplies are about to run out, and it will definitely find a place to dock for a period of time in the next day, and the host can take advantage of this time to complete the task, but remember that there is only one chance, if you miss it, the system will automatically determine that the mission fails!"
"Well, you're right, I hope you're right"
Sure enough, the system guessed that when it was time to eat at night, Gang Master Li informed Qi Yue that the ship would dock at a place called Linjiang Town tomorrow evening, and everyone would repair there for one night and set off at noon the next day.
After hearing the news, Qi Yue was relieved and knew that the opportunity was coming, so he pretended to have no appetite and went back early to start preparing.
Waiting is always difficult, early the next morning, Qi Yue began to stand on the bow of the boat and watch, until it was about to sunset, and finally saw a town in the distance, "Brother Li, come and see, is that where we have to stop?" and quickly beckoned the other party to come over.
"Hehe, that's right, that's Linjiang Town, we'll get off the boat there in a while, but you have to remember not to run around, there are a lot of dragons and snakes in that place, and if you get lost, our whole boat will have to look for you, then it's troublesome!" Before they got close to the shore, the people were already chattering.
After these days of contact, Qi Yue knew that although the other party was a little verbose, he was still very good in his heart, since he said so, he must have a reason: "Don't worry! Brother Li! I won't run around!"
As soon as the boat arrived at the ferry, someone had already come to answer it, and with a wave of his hand, the Li gang leader left a group of people to take care of the boat, and he took Qi Yue and others to the station of the Jianghe Gang in Linjiang Town, not far away, in fact, the station was just a few courtyards.
Qi Yue's luck was better, and he was assigned to a courtyard alone, "Great, so that tonight's action will not be discovered"
As night fell, after dinner, the group had already returned to their rooms to sleep, except for the sound in Qi Yue's courtyard.
"Swords, gold sore medicines, poisons, masked cloths...... Everything was already placed in front of him, and after the inventory was completed, he put all of them into the space with a wave of his big hand, picked up the only remaining black cloth and covered his face, leaving only a pair of eyes flashing in the night.
After opening the door and observing left and right, I made sure that no one found me, closed the door and jumped on the roof lightly, and saw two people patrolling at the front door, so I had no choice but to take a detour and walk from behind.
A dark shadow flickered in the silent streets, and soon they came to a very remote corner of the town, unlike other places where the lights were dark, so late at night the lights were still bright, and from time to time I could hear the sound of people drinking and chatting.
Previously, Qi Yue learned from Brother Li that the so-called water bandits did not live on the water, but gathered in some small villages or towns along the river, and they were usually no different from ordinary civilians, only when they went out to rob passing ships on the river, they would be blindfolded to prevent being remembered.
Qi Yue's area in front of him is the famous "bandit's nest" in Linjiang Town, on weekdays, these water bandits will take the looted goods here to sell the stolen goods, and many of them live here, because of the remote location, and these people are moved by the wind, even if the government finds them, they can't catch them, plus these people will bribe officials from time to time, so over time it has become a three-regardless zone.
Jumping on a large tree with dense foliage, hiding himself, and condescendingly looking closely below, "What's going on? How can there be so many people?"
After checking for a long time, I found that this is a chaotic area, there are taverns, brothels, casinos, etc., although the place is not large, but there are all kinds of things, and the most important people below are probably three or four hundred people just by themselves, not to mention more in the house.
"What can I do about this? Although these people don't seem to be in the same group, if I go on like this, I will definitely die! System, you won't be cheating me!" Qi Yue questioned the system again.
"Ding~~ According to the monitoring, the host is in front of an underworld trading place, which means that if you break into the gathering place of the water bandits, if the host goes down at this time, the chance of death is as high as 99%"
"Damn, I was cheated by Lao Li! I forgot to ask him how many water bandits there are here, this time it's troublesome, you can't just go back without doing anything!" If it was put in the past, Qi Yue would definitely run away without saying a word when he saw so many people, but after being empowered two days ago, his strength has risen greatly, and now he is a little inflated.
"It's a pity, I should have kept a little bit of Brother Ye's bottle of poison if I knew it, how can I poison hundreds of people with a bottle in this situation!" It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, that bottle of medicine was used up in one go when he dealt with the giant tiger, and there was nothing left.
After thinking about it, he took out many bottles and cans from the space, which were given to him by Qin Ye before he went on the road, saying that he could save his life at a critical moment.
I picked up a bottle casually, and saw that it read, "Rotting corpses are scattered, used to destroy corpses, but unfortunately I can't use them now!"
White Bone Pill, Seven-Step Soul Breaking Pill, Nine Shadows of Filthy Earth...... A large pile of poison was thrown back by Qi Yue one by one, "It's not suitable...... No, the dose is too small...... "Wait, whoopia? What is this for? system, help me check it."
Name: Whoonia
Introduction: The Qin family's secret anesthetic, after dissolved in clear water, only one drop can make ten people weak and weak within a hundred days, and lose their combat power.
"Good thing! Why didn't I pay attention when Brother Ye gave it to me at that time, one drop can put down ten people, this bottle has at least a few hundred drops, if you put them all in, hehe......" Holding the medicine bottle in his hand, he smiled lewdly, as if he had expected the fate of these people.
"But how do you get the medicine? You can't come one by one," Zhan looked around the tree and found a wonderful place.
"Fifth brother, why do you say that the third child and a few of them are eating, drinking, and having fun inside, we have to come and fetch water for them! It's really annoying!" a water bandit with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks complained to the person next to him.
"Oh, fourth, don't complain, we almost let people go this time, don't you see how ugly the boss's face is?
As he spoke, he threw the bucket from the well into the well, and after filling it with water, the two began to lift it up vigorously, and suddenly a light breeze around him skipped by, "Who!?" The sharp-faced bandit seemed to sense something, put down the bucket and shouted around.
I didn't see any movement for a long time, "Fourth, you've drunk too much, what's the problem?"
"No, I can feel that someone is passing us, how could it not be?"
"Oh, don't do it! You must have just drunk two more cups and hallucinated! Don't turn around! The boss is still waiting for our tea to relieve the hangover, and the big thing will be delayed, and neither of us will be able to eat and go around!"
The man remembered the boss's old obscenity, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and the two of them carried a bucket and went into the house.
Qi Yue, who was on the courtyard wall not far away, showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth: "Drink, drink! The more you drink, the higher my reward will be tonight!"
"Fourth, fifth, where did you two rabbit cubs go!, where is Lao Tzu's sobering tea!" An angry shout came from the lobby.
"Boss, it's coming, isn't it coming!" the two hurriedly ran to the front with a few bowls of tea.
"Why is it so slow!Is it itchy!!ah!" The water bandit boss opened his bull's eyes wide, his face was bruised, and he drank a little wine to start a drunken madness.
Frightened, the two hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, boss! We must hurry up next time! You hurry up and drink it while it's hot, it won't have any effect if it's cold!" Inevitably, the two of them were punished, and the sharp-faced water bandit quickly changed the topic.
