Cuiwei Mountain.
This is a famous bandit den near Qixia Town.
Especially after the Yang Huilan incident broke out, almost all the bandits from nearly a hundred miles around gathered here, forming a larger bandit alliance.
"drive!"
Xu Yi galloped on the mountain road.
Before noon, we had already arrived at the boundary near Cuiwei Mountain.
He did not go directly to it, but found a relatively secret small cave in the surroundings.
"sleep!"
After making some arrangements, Xu Yi directly turned on the deep sleep state and fell into a deep sleep, leaving only his last bit of perception outside, always alert to changes outside.
Four hours later.
Xu Yi woke up refreshed and took a look at the thread in his hand. There was no change.
"It seems that no one has touched the mechanism I left during this period of time."
I looked at the sky outside. It was around two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly.
"It's still early."
Xu Yi did not rush to Cuiwei Mountain, but took out two Shiquan Dabu Pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
"Turn on the serious state!"
"Practice!"
Another hour of practice time is over.
Feeling that he had gained nearly half a month of inner strength, Xu Yi nodded.
"If there is no problem, I will be able to open the next meridian after practicing for about ten days."
Now, he can gain two years of internal strength in one month of cultivation, half a month is one year, and he can gain nearly one month of internal strength in one day.
If it hadn't been delayed for nearly seven days in practicing "Qinglian Internal Skill" and refining the Shiquan Dabu Pill, he would probably have enough by now.
Of course, Xu Yi would not have been able to gain two years of inner strength in one month without practicing the "Qinglian Internal Skill".
Without Shiquan Dabu Pill, he would not be so relaxed now.
At least in this wilderness, it was hard for him to find food, so why would he still practice?
All in all, although he did not practice during those seven days, they were the cornerstone of his current practice and were indispensable.
"about there."
Xu Yi looked at the sky. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon and it was still very bright.
But it's winter now, and it gets dark very quickly, starting to get dark around six o'clock in the afternoon.
By the time he gets there, it should be almost there!
"Walk!"
Xu Yi was worried that he would be discovered, so he did not ride a horse. Instead, he used Qinggong and rushed towards Cuiwei Mountain.
He used the "Hundred Flowers Walk" to walk in the jungle. Not only did he make no sound, but he could hardly see any traces.
I have to say that this light skill is really the best choice for traveling, killing people and setting fires.
Now in broad daylight, you can still see a shadow walking through the mountains and forests. If it were late at night, you probably wouldn't be able to see anything.
Xu Yi's place was not too far from Cuiwei Mountain. It only took him a little more than half an hour to reach the foot of Cuiwei Mountain.
As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xu Yi heard some noise. He immediately and cautiously moved forward, hiding behind a big tree to peek, and found that they were two bandits patrolling the mountain.
They all held knives and carefully inspected everything around them.
Putting aside his ability, his serious attitude alone gives people a special feeling.
"Huh?"
Xu Yi was slightly surprised.
He had seen bandits on the way here before, but those bandits were not as serious as these bandits.
"It's probably Yang Huilan's killing spree that scared them all!"
Xu Yi thought for a while and finally figured out the reason.
These bandits who turned into bandits are either poor people who can't make a living, or people from the world who want quick money. It's fine if they don't slack off, but you still want them to patrol the mountains seriously?
Thinking too much!
This group of people had just been frightened by Yang Huilan, and now they would consciously and conscientiously patrol the mountains.
However, these are ordinary people who have practiced some boxing and kicking skills. No matter how serious they are, it is useless. They cannot detect Xu Yi hiding in the dark.
Xu Yi, who had practiced "Hundred Flowers Walk", was like a ghost, wandering at the foot and mountainside of Cuiwei Mountain, and quickly figured out all the defenses and layouts nearby.
"Open the memory palace!"
"Construct a map of Cuiweishan!"
In the sea of consciousness.
Xu Yi (soul) held a leaf in his hand. On the leaf appeared a map of the entire Cuiwei Mountain he had explored. There were also some red dots and some virtual irregular lines on the map.
The most important thing is that these red dots can still move!
Needless to say, these red dots are bandits, and those virtual irregular lines are the tracks of the bandits’ movements.
The movement track was detected. As for those moving red dots... naturally it is impossible to monitor and update in real time. Xu Yi does not have such ability. This is all done through the movement track of the bandits. Data such as walking speed are directly derived.
There may be some deviations, but they are not bad, and overall there should be no problems.
Using this almost modern information warfare method to deal with a group of ancient bandits, it can only be said that Xu Yi took his first active battle very seriously.
However, after he looked at the map of Cuiwei Mountain in his hand, his expression became slightly more subtle.
This map...
how to say.
Not surprisingly, it is full of loopholes!
With just a quick glance, without even analyzing or comparing, Xu Yi found a dozen routes that would allow ordinary people to reach the mountain village quietly.
Their so-called peripheral defense is not entirely useless, but it is not much different.
"Sure enough, I'd better not have too much hope for them!"
Xu Yi shook his head.
After all, they are just a group of ordinary bandits. Even though the power of this group of bandits has suddenly increased significantly due to Yang Huilan, and the bandits have been extremely serious during this period, this does not change that they are still a group of bandits. Together... Ordinary bandits!
How powerful do you want a group of ordinary bandits to be?
Feel sorry.
You really think highly of them!
"But don't be too careless. I'm just checking their outer defenses. What if their defenses inside the stronghold are very strict?"
Although the level of peripheral patrol of these bandits was indeed a bit high, which indirectly revealed that their bandit leader might not have very high abilities, Xu Yi felt that he still could not be careless.
After all, it was a bandit den with more than 500 people. If something unexpected happened, it would be quite troublesome for Xu Yi.
After looking at the sky, it was gradually getting darker, but there was still some time before it would get dark, so Xu Yi decided to wait and wait until it really got dark before taking action.
So Xu Yi quietly came to the entrance of the village and hid in a dense jungle not far away, lurking quietly here.
During this process, bandits who were out patrolling kept coming back. The bandits who guarded the gate were quite strict. Every bandit who came back would ask questions before letting them in.
More than half an hour passed like this.
Most of the bandits outside have returned, and the sky has almost turned dark.
"it's time."
Xu Yi walked around to one side and quietly entered the cottage through the loophole that he had long been optimistic about.
The whole process went unnoticed.
After entering the village, Xu Yi did not immediately start investigating. Instead, he hid behind a wooden house and observed the surrounding situation.
He originally thought that the inside of the cottage would be much stricter than the outside, but in the end, he found that things were not as he thought.
——Most of the bandits have gone to eat!
The few remaining patrol teams of bandits had little intention of patrolling. They were all thinking about what to eat later!
"Fine!"
Xu Yi smacked his lips, feeling that he really cared a little too much about these bandits.
They really don't deserve it.
"No wonder Yang Huilan can kill you all by herself, just you guys, tsk!"
Xu Yi shook his head.
Then continue your own careful exploration.
These bandits LOW is their business, but Xu Yi himself must still be cautious.
In a battle, if you let down your guard because the other person is a fool, you will become a fool yourself.
"Open the memory palace!"
"Update Cuiweishan map!"
Knowledge within the sea.
A map covering the entire Cuiwei Mountain appeared in the leaf in Xu Yi's hand. Different from the previous only peripheral layout, this map already included all the layout in the village.
Xu Yi even found the place where the bandits hid their money because of this - all the bandits had gone to eat. The bandits who didn't go to eat and were still guarding a certain building, what were they guarding? Need more to say?
Xu Yi dived in directly.
To be honest, the bandits guarding this place are still very powerful. They are third-rate warriors per capita. They are already absolute elites in the village!
In the entire village of hundreds of people, apart from the few village owners who were second-rate warriors, there were only thirty or forty third-rate warriors in total.
There are twelve guards posted here alone.
The importance of this building can also be seen from here.
They do indeed attach great importance to this place, but unfortunately, facing Xu Yi who has "Hundred Flowers Travel", their attention is of no use.
Xu Yidu had already walked around the treasure room and even took all the money he could, but they were still standing outside stupidly!
"It's a bit troublesome!"
Although he achieved his goal easily and there was no battle yet, Xu Yi didn't look very happy at the moment.
He looked at the 50,000 taels of silver notes in his hand, and then at the gold and silver jewelry worth at least 150,000 taels of silver in front of him, his eyes turned red.
We know from the TV series that these bandits are rich. The first time they collected 50,000 taels of silver to offer a reward for Guo Furong, and the second time they collected 100,000 taels of silver!
But Xu Yi still didn't expect that these guys were so rich, with a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver!
The Xu family's wealth over hundreds of years is only nearly three hundred thousand taels.
"Is it so profitable to be a bandit now?"
Even if this is the wealth obtained by a dozen bandit gangs, this wealth is still a bit too much!
Xu Yi couldn't help but want to turn the grass into a bandit.
"These 50,000 taels of silver notes should be used for the reward, and the rest of the money is stored by them."
As for why they didn’t keep the fifty thousand taels of silver close to their bodies, it’s probably because these bandit gangs just got together and no one trusts anyone yet!
Even the guards outside, Xu Yi estimated, were put together by more than a dozen bandit gangs.
These bandits seemed to have formed an alliance for one goal, but there were still quite a few problems between them.
"Perhaps, I can take advantage of this..."
Xu Yi came up with a plan.
It would definitely be impossible for him to give up this wealth worth 150,000 taels of silver.
With these 150,000 taels of silver, he can more than double the power he is about to establish!
How could he let go of such a benefit?
But there is so much money here, and it is not an easy-to-collect banknote. It is obviously impossible for Xu Yi to get the money by himself.
"If you want to get all this money, there is only one way - capture these bandits too!"
······
"Come on, come on, brothers, drink! Do it!"
"Okay! Drink! You won't come back until you're drunk!"
"Head Li's arrogance!"
"Master Chen, you're not bad either!"
"Mr. Su, you're not good at drinking! You're raising fish!"
The heads of the cottages were sitting on a bench together, toasting and drinking.
Since they had just merged not long ago, even the specific rankings have not been determined yet, and they just call each other by their last names.
Of course, the specific ranking has not yet been formed, but the vague status has begun to appear.
For example, in the current seating arrangement, although everyone is sitting on the same bench and there is no order of precedence, the leaders sitting in the center are obviously of higher status.
Among them, Li Xiong, Chen Deshan and Su Lifang are the most important.
Above the Jianghu, strength is the most respected.
Not to mention the wilderness.
Whoever is stronger will naturally have a higher status.
Although the current twelve masters of the village are all second-rate warriors, most of them are only second-rate early stage warriors.
Only these three people have reached the late second-rate stage in terms of strength, and are only one step away from the peak of the second-rate.
If we say who is most likely to become the boss of this new cottage, then it must be one of the three of them.
"Headmaster Li, I heard that someone has taken the reward order. Will that bitch be dead?"
"Definitely dead! Do you know who are the people who have received the reward order? I'll scare you to death if I tell you! Those are the uncompromising beauty of the Feidao Sect, the two elders of the Five Poison Sect, and Shangguan Yun of the Tianzan Sect. pause!"
"Hiss! Even Shangguan Yundun took it? That is a top killer who has been in the underworld for decades! It is said that many top masters died in his hands. If he takes action, Guo Furong will be dead. ah!"
"Of course, this stinky bitch has gone too far! If we don't kill her, how can we still hang out in the world from now on?"
"That makes sense! In order to kill that stinky bitch, we guys have a toast in advance to celebrate!"
"Dry!"
A group of bandits were drinking wine happily.
They were completely unaware that a crisis was approaching them!
There will be another update at 9pm!
