Chapter 26 Don’t fight anymore
"You continue."
Chen Lun became interested.
"Generally, bandits like them will not bother too much when they see a team that is not transporting goods, and it will be thankless...
But just now this group of people was very tough and said they must search the carriage to see who was sitting inside. ”
At this time, Walsh leaned over and whispered:
"In fact, in big cities like Amber City, noble ladies and ladies often disappear and are auctioned on the black market or other small circles...
Even if they are not women, some handsome boys are also very popular. ”
When Walsh said this, he seemed to realize something and quickly added:
"Your Excellency Jack is as graceful as the stars, and Miss Floy is even more stunningly beautiful, more dazzling and charming than the moonlight...
I'm worried that these disgusting guys have evil intentions. ”
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
I didn’t expect you to be such a person, Walsh!
I really can’t speak!
It's embarrassing to tell the truth. Although I am thin-skinned, you can speak more to temper my glassy heart.
"Big cities are really chaotic... By the way, wouldn't those unattractive or elderly men be kidnapped? Are these bandits discriminating?"
Chen Lun was indignant.
"Well, no, if they look rich and have status, they will directly kidnap and extort you."
Walsh explained.
Chen Lun couldn't help but shake his head. These days, all robbers depend on the food. If they don't have a backer behind them, they might not be able to survive.
At this moment, the situation that had originally been thought to be decided suddenly changed.
I saw the other side's bandit leader taking out two iron gloves and putting them on himself, with sharp steel nails embedded in the knuckles. This guy caught a guard's slash with his bare hands, making a crisp sound, and then made a fist with his other hand and hit the guard's abdomen.
Bang!
The moment the iron gloves collided with the armor, Chen Lun noticed that the small hole on the edge of the gloves opened and a stream of air spurted out.
The guard screamed in pain and flew backwards.
Everyone present was immediately startled. Why were these refugee-like bandits so powerful? And what kind of black technology is that black iron glove? One punch can dent the armor and directly make a guard lose his combat effectiveness!
After defeating his opponent, the bandit leader rushed to the next guard with excitement on his face.
The bandits who were originally on the verge of defeat suddenly had a high morale, and the guards began to become timid and chose to avoid this guy.
Just when the bandit leader thought he could kill everyone, he suddenly heard an explosion——
Bang! !
The next second the pain hit.
Before he raised his fist, he found a blood hole on his left chest.
He took a few steps back and fell down.
Blood began to spread from under him.
[You killed the bandit leader and gained 10 experience points]
Everyone turned around and saw a young man with slightly curly black hair in a white shirt, trousers and leather shoes standing straight in front of the carriage. He was pointing a flintlock gun in this direction, with smoke rising from the muzzle.
"Don't fight anymore."
Chen Lun played a trick, blew into the muzzle of the gun, and put the gun into his holster.
Thanks to the investigator brother of the shelter, he also enjoyed a moment of pleasure.
With the death of the bandit leader and the threat of muskets, the group of bandits dispersed. When Walsh shouted to stop, the guard did not pursue, but turned to look after the wounded.
At this moment, Chen Lun received the prompt.
[Trigger D-level mission: The bad guys must be chased]
Mission description: You were ambushed by bandits, but they were defeated in the face of your powerful strength. When provoked, did you choose to pursue them?
This group of bandits blocked the road, robbed, and kidnapped hostages. There seemed to be something shocking and powerful hidden behind them...
Mission reward: 300 experience points and 500 copper crow.
Chen Lun was used to the naughty prompt boxes. In his previous life, when he first came into contact with "The Age of Secrets", he was prompted to shout out frequently.
At that time, many players were cursing on the forum because of this.
One of the guys said that he received a mission that clearly involved a peerless artifact, but he worked hard to complete the mission and got a [Grade D] self-refilling coffee pot.
If that's the case, forget it, at least have drinking water resources ready when you go out.
Until one day, the guy poured out a strange yellow-brown liquid from the coffee pot...
The price of this [Trick] is that you must drink it all. If you don't drink it, you will be forced into a thirsty state and all attributes will be reduced for ten days.
DEBUFF, who has been weak for ten days, might as well kill him. Forced into desperation, the player had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep silent.
If nothing else, this coffee pot is probably a bit hot.
The mission prompt is indeed correct, this pot is unique. Not to mention, many wealthy people who were curious about it later came to him to buy it, and things developed very magically.
Chen Lun originally didn't want to take on this task because the rewards were too overwhelming. But he woke up in time and realized that he couldn't become rich just because he became rich.
You can never have too much experience or money!
Your journey to becoming stronger can never stop!
So after accepting the mission, he asked Walsh and his team to stay where they were. By the way, help him put away those suspicious iron gloves, and take a closer look when he comes back.
He said hello to Floy, turned around and chased in the direction where the robber left.
……
Chen Lun followed the robber's footsteps, left the road, and entered the dense forest.
This place is quite eerie, the trees are very tall, and their lush branches and leaves block the sunlight.
There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground that crunched when stepped on, and from time to time various strange sounds could be heard from all around.
Ga——Gah——
A crow flies through the forest, dropping pieces of black feathers.
I saw it flapping its wings and slowly landing on Chen Lun's arm. The crow turned its head, looked at him with its small spiritual eyes, and then croaked a few times.
Chen Lun handed over a few beetles he caught casually on the road. The crow took one bite at a time, raised its head and swallowed it, then croaked twice and flew away with its wings.
Chen Lun got the news he wanted and continued moving in one direction.
"There is a camp, right? There are about a dozen people..."
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Lun vaguely saw the light of the fire.
He slowed down his pace, pushed aside a few shrub leaves, and saw clearly the scene in an open space in front of him.
This was a bandit camp about the size of a small basketball court. There was a big bonfire burning in the middle, and the thighs of beasts were roasting next to it. Several men in dirty clothes were cooking a pot of soup.
Several other men were polishing weapons, axes, sickles, daggers, kitchen knives, and all sorts of other things.
The looted goods were piled in the corner, boxes neatly stacked. There was a hole on it that looked like it had been cut open, revealing some metal ingots and ore coal.
Next to the pile of goods were several large iron cages, and the people locked inside were all men, and all of them were old and ugly.
"Why is it different from what Walsh said?"
Chen Lun was a little confused. Why were these bandits arresting these people? Are there really buyers with such heavy tastes?
A burly man was sitting on a stool holding a golden sword, playing with the dagger in his hand. Next to them were the robbers who had just blocked the road. They were standing dejectedly, like primary school students who failed in an exam and were criticized.
"What a bunch of rubbish!"
The burly man cursed.
"That bastard hyena is even more useless! Even if he messed up, he also lost the 'Crazy Hand' sent by the boss!" (End of Chapter)
