Chapter 58: Meeting the Fifth Master
The drunken man walked slowly, turned a few corners, and came to the back of the main peak. This is also halfway up the mountain. There is a cave on the mountainside. The cave is locked by an iron door, and there are two minions standing guard at the door.
Seeing this scene, he felt happy and guessed that there were probably innocent villagers imprisoned in this cave.
What the drunken minions brought was food for the gatekeepers. After delivering the food boxes, the two of them returned the same way.
After the gatekeeper opened the food box, he started to devour the food. He still held the wine glass in his hand and drank heavily, not knowing that the danger had come.
Feng was not in a hurry to take action immediately. He was waiting for the gatekeeper who was drunk.
After getting drunk, he quietly knocked out the gatekeepers without giving them a chance to notify other bandits.
The plan went very smoothly. After the gatekeeper was full of wine and food, he began to stagger around. After all, I was just a minion, and I really didn't live up to expectations. After eating and drinking, I actually started to fall asleep.
Feng tiptoed to the entrance of the cave and beat the two gatekeepers into a daze without any effort. Then he found the key from the minions and opened the iron door.
Behind the iron gate is a cave, which is dark and damp. There are only some torches on the wall, giving the cave a little light.
The cave is the bandit's cell. There are more than ten rooms here, and the strong men captured from various villages are imprisoned in the rooms.
After some questioning, he found the villagers in his mission village and also learned the bandits' purpose of catching them.
Because the bandits discovered an iron mine, but developing the iron mine required a lot of labor, they captured these villagers to serve as labor force.
"No wonder these villagers are all sallow and thin, just like refugees." He looked at this group of thin NPCs and thought about the reason.
The villagers also told him that everyone had to go to the mines to work every day during the day, but today because the big shots came to the bandit den, they gave these villagers a day off.
"I really need to thank this big shot, otherwise the cave would be empty if I came at this hour." Feng was glad that he came at the right time.
The villagers in the mission village were very happy to learn that Feng had come to rescue them. But the villagers in other villages were very distressed. They begged Feng: "Save me, please save me."
There were so many villagers calling for help that for a while, only the four words "help me" were heard repeatedly in his ears.
To save or not to save, this is a choice.
If you only save the villagers in the mission village, there are only a few people, and the target is small, it is very likely that you will go down the mountain silently.
But if we save all the villagers here, the goal is huge, and it is impossible to hide it from the bandits. In this case, he will definitely face a fierce battle.
Moreover, this group of villagers now have no fighting capacity at all. On the other hand, the bandits all have red faces and well-equipped weapons.
If the two sides fight, there will be no doubt about the outcome and defeat will be inevitable.
Although his reason told him to save only the villagers in the mission village, his conscience told him that all the villagers here must be saved. As for whether the villagers can escape after being rescued, it can only depend on personal luck.
He took out the key and opened one of the cells, and the villagers in the cell rushed out. Fortunately, there were some relatively sensible villagers who took the initiative to get the key from Feng and helped Feng open the other cells.
When Feng led the villagers from the mission village out of the cave, the villagers who escaped first had already been "honored" to attract the attention of the bandits.
"I knew it would be like this." Seeing this situation, he shouted, but he could only shake his head helplessly.
Fortunately, these villager NPCs are in different villages, and different villages are in different directions, so as soon as they exit the cave, the villagers are divided into four groups, each group has about twenty or thirty people, and they run down the mountain from four directions. .
He led the villagers in the mission village while running, praying not to be caught up by the bandits. But before he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.
"Damn it, I forgot that the bandits have horses." He complained in his heart. Before he finished complaining, his group was overtaken by horses. He took a closer look and saw that the person on the horse's back was none other than the fifth leader.
"Kid, long time no see." Master Wu made a playful sound to Feng.
When he heard the fifth master's initiative to speak, he began to murmur in his heart, because he was not sure for a while whether this fifth master was an NPC or a player. So he asked the fifth master: "Are you an NPC or a player?"
"Guess." The fifth master replied that there was no silver 300 taels in this place.
At this time, he could confirm that even if the fifth master was not a player, he must be a game character controlled by someone. Although he was nervous at this time, he had more expectations and hopes.
"Master Wu, long time no see. Is the injury on your foot healed?"
"Thanks to you, it's going to heal quickly. Even the scars are gone."
"I don't know what the Fifth Master is doing blocking our way. We are good citizens."
"I know you are good people, but we are bandits and bandits, and we are arresting you, good people."
What the Fifth Master said was very reasonable and left him speechless for a moment.
"Then how can the fifth master let us go?" Since the other party is a human being, there is room for negotiation.
"How about you join our bandits? With your ability, you will definitely be an official in a short time. It will not be a simple matter how many people you want to let go." The fifth leader actually began to talk to him earnestly. To persuade to surrender.
"Being a bandit? There is such an operation in this game." After hearing the Fifth Master's persuasion, he began to speculate on the purpose of this game.
"Hey, guess." The fifth master's answer was still inexplicable.
"I'll think about this first. Is there any other way?" Feng
"Then you have a fight with him. After the fight, we are talking." The fifth master pointed to the strong man riding on the horse next to him.
Feng began to look at the strong man not far away. This strong man was at least 1.9 meters tall. The muscles in his arms were thicker than the thighs of ordinary players. He carried a huge ax on his back. At first glance, he was a master who was not easy to mess with.
But at this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
He extended his hand to the strong man, expressed his willingness to fight, and drew out his ninth-grade sword, making preparations for the battle.
After the fifth master gave an instruction to the strong man, the strong man jumped off his horse, holding the ax behind his back, and walked slowly towards him.
The villager NPC and the chasing bandits made a tacit compromise, leaving a fighting field with a radius of more than ten meters for him and the strong man.
Without a word, the strong man directly attacked him. The sword and ax collided for the first time, and Feng was shaken several meters away by the strength of the strong man. The strong man immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued him. He did not dare to take a direct attack and could only dodge quickly.
"Last time you only knew how to run away and dodge. Do you still choose to run away and dodge this time?" Seeing this scene, the fifth master suddenly said with gloating. It seemed that he still had some resentment in his heart about what happened last time.
"Who said I was going to run away? This is a fighting position. A layman should not talk nonsense." Although he didn't pay attention to the words of the fifth master, he still explained his behavior.
After hearing his explanation, the fifth master didn't say any more.
After fighting the strong man for a round, he gradually understood that this strong man should be just an NPC, but this NPC should be a genuine ninth-grade master.
Although both the strong man and the fifth master are controlled, the fifth master is controlled by others, while the strong man is controlled by the game program.
As long as he is controlled by a program, his movements will not be flexible enough, and his fighting style will be relatively simple, rigid and cyclical.
And he estimated that this strong man was only an average ninth grader at best. Therefore, this strong man is just a soulless fool at best.
As for the reckless man, he had a lot of experience in fighting like this. After more than ten rounds, the strong man's body was covered with scars and he looked very embarrassed.
But this is only on the surface. He knows very well that these injuries are minor injuries to a strong man. At most, they are not good-looking, and they do not weaken the strong man's combat effectiveness much.
Looking back at my own state, when fighting, I have to dodge the opponent's attacks and find ways to attack the opponent. Both mental and physical strength are consumed very quickly.
If the fight continues, there are only two outcomes:
First: The strong man suffered more and more injuries and lost his combat effectiveness.
Second: It is also possible that he did not maintain a good condition, and then the strong man caught the flaw and knocked him down.
No matter which outcome, it is not optimistic for him.
The battle on the field is still going on and has reached a fever pitch. When victory or defeat was just a matter of thought, Master Wu suddenly gave the strong man a retreat order.
"It won't be good for everyone if the fight continues like this, so let's just call it a draw." The fifth master said to him with a half-smile.
"The fifth master is right, it's a tie. I don't know how to calculate a tie." He knew very well that if the fight continued, even if he defeated the strong man in front of him, there would be many other strong men. Since the fifth master had given him Down the steps, he was also very knowledgeable.
"You choose three of the villagers here to take away. The remaining villagers will be put back by yourself after you come back as an official." The fifth leader thought for a while and said.
"Okay, just listen to the fifth master." After hearing what the fifth master said, he readily agreed without bargaining. After all, others are the slaves and I am the fish.
He selected three villagers, then raised his hands to the fifth master and said, "I'll say goodbye."
"See you later"
"Sayo la la"
