The fifty people, at best all of them were experts who had been strong for more than twenty times, traveled at a fast pace, and it took only an hour to reach the dividing road that Xiao Xiaolong mentioned.
It is indeed a man-made road, about twenty meters wide. From east to west, there is no end as far as the eye can see.
After crossing the dividing road, everyone stopped to rest. Zhao Yu asked: "How far is it from this group's stronghold?"
"Almost more than 20 kilometers..." Xiao Xiaolong recalled: "We were attacked three or four kilometers away from them..." It was more than 20 kilometers away, and there was still enough energy left to travel. It only took about two hours to get there. Not so far.
Zhao Yu secretly calculated that if he used the flower-picking technique, he could even get there in half an hour.
This speed is not an exaggeration, it is equivalent to a car traveling at 50 kilometers per hour. Of course, this is to keep moving forward at a constant speed. After all, people have physical limitations.
If he ran at full speed for a short distance, Zhao Yu felt that he could reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The only shortcoming is that the light skill of picking flowers is suitable for long distances and lacks flexibility.
At full power, he has trouble changing direction. With his ability to perform Qing Gong, it would be a bit uncomfortable to be unable to turn at a distance of more than ten or twenty meters per second.
He guessed that since Qinggong and other ancient martial arts techniques were available, there should also be body techniques suitable for fighting. If he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely learn one.
"Everyone has zero coins, right?!" Zhao Yu suddenly remembered something and asked.
"I'm taking it with me..." The people present, except for Xiao Xiaolong's group, all carried a lot of zero coins with them, at least twenty for each person.
For example, Zhao Yu owns 181. After this calculation, the number of zero coins that Xiao Xiaolong and others were robbed reached one to two thousand.
"Judging from their performance, these zero coins are very important. I let you go in the hope that you can continue to hunt monsters and obtain zero coins..." That group of robbers knew how to fish for the best.
"So, even if we fail, they probably won't kill too many people..." Zhao Yu continued: "So, my idea is that we leave some zero coins and bury them here. If we fail, they won't kill too many people." They were all taken away!" The value of zero coins is obviously not low. Those weapons and equipment should have been exchanged for zero coins at the camp.
Although they don't have the channel yet, since the bandits can exchange for weapons and equipment, they can do it too.
When everyone heard that it made sense, they immediately looked for a place to dig a hole and bury the coins near the boundary road. Zhao Yu did not dare to bury them all. He only buried a hundred and took eighty-one with him.
In this way, in case of failure and capture, it can be regarded as buying money. After making the mark, everyone set out on the road again.
This time, we crossed twenty kilometers in one breath, and stopped to rest three or four kilometers away from the bandits' den.
The weapons carried by the fifty people are all stone axes, which are their best weapons at present. Although stone axes cannot break armor, not everyone in the group of robbers is fully armed.
Except for their leader, everyone else only has one, two or three pieces of armor, and there is always something that can hurt them.
"Zhao Yu, their leader is armed to the teeth. The only vital point is probably the neck..." Xiao Xiaolong recalled: "His helmet and armor don't seem to be the same set. There is a gap in the middle of his neck..."
"I understand!" Zhao Yu took a deep breath. Whether he can win this battle depends entirely on his battle with the opponent's leader.
In terms of equipment alone, the gap between the two sides is huge. The only thing he can rely on is that his physical fitness is far stronger than that of the leader.
Not only is it faster, it is also much more powerful. After a rest, the group hit the road again. This time, they walked for a full hour for a distance of three or four kilometers.
The whole process was to keep track and move forward slowly, for fear of being discovered by the other party. Zhao Yu also opened his vision from time to time, and at the same time changed the scope of the super brain scan.
Before, he only let the super brain scan monsters and did not set up defenses for humans. But now, what they want to fight is humans. Zhao Yu simply changed the restrictions. As long as they are living creatures, the super brain will flash a notification after scanning them.
In this complex forest environment, super brain vision is far more useful than eyes and ears. Finally, five hundred meters away from the enemy stronghold, Zhao Yu raised his hand and made a gesture to everyone.
The others stopped immediately when they heard the sound. Even before departure, Zhao Yu emphasized that he would direct the entire process. No one had any objections, they were all very obedient.
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and made a few more gestures. It probably means that there is a hidden whistle ahead, you wait here, I will unplug the opponent.
Everyone suddenly became nervous. But he didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves for fear of being discovered by the enemy. The only thing that puzzled them was why Zhao Yu was able to discover the enemy?
! And looking at Zhao Yu's soft voice now, it seems that the enemy's secret whistle hasn't noticed them yet! This made everyone have a daydream.
Could it be that Zhao Yu knows some kind of ancient martial arts technique that enhances hearing, vision or smell? ! Or maybe he himself has special talents in this area?
! Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Yu performed Qing Gong, stepped on the snow without leaving a trace, and left quietly. About three minutes later, Zhao Yu came back carrying someone.
Done! Everyone was overjoyed. The person being carried by Zhao Yu was a thin man, his eyes were full of fear, his mouth was covered by Zhao Yu, and his limbs had long been interrupted, making him unable to struggle.
This place is more than 500 meters away from the enemy's stronghold. If you keep your voice down, you won't be discovered. Zhao Yu covered the man's mouth and said, "Tell me, what's going on in your stronghold?!" Zhao Yu's eyes turned cold.
"If you don't say yes, then you will die!" He pinched the man's neck with his other hand and was about to pinch it hard when Xiao Xiaolong quickly pulled him back.
"Brother Yu, you covered his mouth..." Hearing this, the man in front of him nodded repeatedly, with fear in his eyes.
He also wanted to say it, but his mouth was covered tightly and no sound could come out. Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this.
When I arrested this man, I was afraid that he would make a sound, so I was a bit harsh, so I naturally covered his mouth tightly.
Seeing this, he relaxed a little, but did not let down his guard. If the man showed signs of shouting, he would immediately cover his mouth again.
"Huh~~!" The man took a breath and said quickly: "I said, I said, I said, don't kill me!"
"There are five people in our stronghold now, and the boss has taken the others to change weapons and equipment..." After some questioning, we finally understood.
There are only five of their people in the stronghold. In addition, there are also the female students they captured. And their leader took more than a dozen people to a place called Wangfeng Valley.
There is a powerful force there, and weapons and equipment can be purchased there.
"Where did the weapons and equipment in Wangfeng Valley come from?!" Zhao Yu then asked.
"Bought from the camp!" When the man saw Xiao Xiaolong, he understood that Zhao Yu was with them and must have just come here.
The only thing that puzzled him was that it was incredible that this group of people had such strength when they first came here.
But he didn't dare to think too much, and without a trace of hesitation, he hurriedly said: "The camp is occupied by a big force. Five first-level coins have been released. Only people with first-level coins can enter the camp to buy supplies..."
"Furthermore, it is said that even if you enter the camp with first-level coins, you will still be exploited..."
"There is a first-order coin in Wangfeng Valley, which is one of the five major forces in our area..."
"When we get zero coins, we will basically go to the places where these five major forces are to exchange weapons and equipment..." Zhao Yu frowned.
Fortunately, I didn't go to the camp hastily, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep a single coin. According to the man's description, the camp was occupied by a large force, and only those holding the five first-order coins they released could enter and trade. Others who dared to go there would be either devoured or killed.
But even if you go to Wangfeng Valley to trade with zero coins, you will probably be exploited. However, we will talk about these things later, saving people is more important now.
"Li Hongwei, look at him, others follow me in to rescue people!" After saying that, Zhao Yu handed the man to Li Hongwei, and he led the others towards the stronghold.
Their stronghold was on a hillside. Zhao Yu observed that there were indeed only five enemies in the stronghold.
At this moment, these five people were pressing the five female students to do exercises.
"You all deserve to die!" When Xiao Xiaolong saw this scene, his eyes turned red and he cursed in a low voice.
If he hadn't remembered Zhao Yu's order, he would have rushed to kill him right now.
"You all stay where you are, and those of threshold level will follow me!" After saying that, the five threshold level experts rushed directly towards the hillside.
They were very fast and rushed forward in the blink of an eye. The five people left behind were not strong enough and did not react until they were close.
But before they could prepare their weapons to fight back, they were captured successfully. Of the five people, three died on the spot. Only the enemies captured by Zhao Yu and Cai Shuying survived.
"Won't you kill this kind of person?!" Xiao Xiaolong was a little confused. Before Zhao Yu could speak, Cai Shuying gritted her teeth and said, "Wouldn't it be too easy to kill them just like this?!" Behind the stronghold, more than twenty girls who were tied up cried when they saw familiar figures appearing. .
Behind, the remaining forty strong men saw that Zhao Yu and others had succeeded, so they all caught up. Everyone was busy for a while and rescued all the girls who were tied up.
Xiao Xiaolong knelt down again, this time in front of these girls.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you..."
"Is there any use in saying sorry now?!" A girl rushed up and slapped Xiao Xiaolong hard.
Her body had already been ruined by the thieves, and there were two traces of tears on her face. The rescued girls had different reactions. Some cried bitterly, some ran to whip the corpse, and some sat in a daze, seemingly losing the meaning of life.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu sighed. For girls, whether chastity is important or not depends on the person.
Because of the bad behavior of this group of bandits, most of the fifty people he took with him on this trip were boys, except Cai Shuying.
Originally, he didn't want to bring Cai Shuying, but this woman took the initiative to bring her. Thinking of her appearance, Zhao Yu thought that even if she was captured, no one would be interested in her.
Moreover, Cai Shuying didn't seem to care about this. Last night, as far as he knew, there were as many as three boys hanging out with Cai Shuying.
"I'll kill you!" A girl came to her senses, picked up the knife on the ground, and was about to kill someone. Zhao Yu quickly stopped her and said: "Don't worry, wait until I ask about the situation, he will leave it to you..." Then, he told Cai Shuying, asking her to interrogate her first and understand the situation before killing her.
There is no difference in the content of the interrogation. It is consistent with the previous secret whistle. Their leader went to Wangfeng Valley and will probably come back in the evening.
After getting the information, Zhao Yu did not stop him. After breaking the limbs of the three men, he handed them over to the surviving girls.
After half an hour of torture, the three finally breathed their last. Zhao Yu had no intention of surviving. These people killed Xiao Xiaolong and more than a dozen of them yesterday, and also captured more than 20 girls.
The reason why Xiao Xiaolong let more than 90 people leave was because he felt that they were no threat, and he also wanted to wait for these people to save some coins and continue to rob them.
"Brother Yu, they went to Wangfeng Valley to exchange things. When they come back, can we fight them?!" Xiao Xiaolong was a little worried. According to time, the group should be back when it gets dark.
They could leave if they wanted, but there would be no possibility of an ambush. It would be difficult to find this group of people next time. Therefore, what Zhao Yu meant was to ambush and kill those people.
"It should be no problem!" Zhao Yu held a steel knife in his hand and said, "At least 80-90% sure!" There are still some weapons and equipment in this stronghold, and there are six people left behind.
There are a total of six knives and ten pieces of armor. Together, they can make a complete set. Zhao Yu deserved the honor, so he directly gathered a suit and wore it.
However, he didn't say die, but called everyone together.
"Now there are two options..."
"The first is to leave and join the main force, but when the bandits come back, they may run away, and they may not be able to meet each other in the future..."
"The second is to ambush here, set up an ambush, and kill them..."
"What do you think of these two options?!" After finishing speaking, only a few people in the audience hesitated. The others, without exception, expressed their intention to stay and ambush.
They are all young people in their late teens and early twenties, all of them are full of blood. If they don't avenge their grudges, they won't be able to pass the test in their hearts.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu didn't say much because he wanted to stay. The main purpose is naturally to take a fancy to the enemy's equipment.
This group of people brought more than a thousand zero coins they got from Xiao Xiaolong and others, and they might be able to exchange them for good things.
From the prisoners' mouths, Zhao Yu had some understanding of the situation in Wangfeng Valley. The prices of weapons and equipment are pretty well known.
A piece of armor sells for ten zero coins in Wangfeng Valley, and a set costs fifty zero coins. Weapons are sold for 20 coins each.
The total net worth of their entire bandit group was only over a thousand dollars, and it took them nearly a week to save it.
Zhao Yu also knew the origin of this bandit group. He came about ten days earlier than them and passed through a commercial building together. There were not many people there, only three to four hundred people.
In the end, only about fifty people were left, and they fled all the way to the north of the dividing road. During this period, more than thirty people died, leaving only about twenty people.
When it was getting dark, the bandits who went to Wangfeng Valley to buy things finally came back.
