"What's strange?" Li Shuyi asked, puzzled.
"The ancient bandits of Hua Xia had an old saying, 'Rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows.' And the behavior of most of the bandits in White Stone Town confirms this sentence. The areas they pillage are all the surrounding territories … "
Bai Xiaowen said, "Only the Black Wind Bandits are different. They only looted the local area. If White Stone Town was rich, it wouldn't be a big deal. But it's poor. The Black Wind Bandits probably didn't even have enough food to cover their expenses. Moreover, they were occupying an iron mine, while the silver mine, which was more profitable, was only limited to robbing workers and not occupying the veins of the mine. Based on these two points, I'm sure there's something wrong with this bandit group. "
Li Shuyi nodded, but he was still a little confused. "Then why?"
"There's a more likely explanation, which is that the Black Wind Bandits were ordered by someone," Bai Xiaowen said slowly. "I originally suspected that Job was also an insider, and I just went through his memories. However, there's no information about the Black Wind Bandits' leader in his memory. Of course, it's also possible that I missed something. After all, after using the Bewitching Spell on Job, he lost a large part of his memory. What I got was only a small part of his memory fragments. "
"Whether he was ordered or not, we'll know once we kill the leader of the Black Wind Bandits." Li Shuyi was gradually becoming more of a fighter.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded. "Let's go to the Cliff Mine now. However, the default appearance given to me by the spirit realm's law is a little too eye-catching. I have to change it. "
Bai Xiaowen then spent 100 Psionic Points to change his noble attire into a Western-style wizard's black hooded robe. After putting on the hood, his whole body was covered.
The spirit realm's law prompted him.
"You have changed your second appearance: 'Hooded Wizard's Attire.' You can choose to change back to 'Lord's Attire' after 10 seconds out of combat. You don't need to spend any Psionic Points to change your attire. "
It was important to note that no matter if it was a noble's attire or a hooded wizard's attire, they were only seen in the eyes of the storyline characters in the Cain Plane.
What Bai Xiaowen was truly wearing was the ancient yao art robes.
In addition, his pistol, the Desert Eagle, would automatically be seen as a special magic crossbow in the eyes of the storyline characters in the Cain Dimension.
Li Shuyi didn't need to change anything. In Bai Xiaowen's eyes, she was wearing a beautiful snow-white sword daoist robe. That was enough. Li Shuyi didn't care that the storyline characters in Cain's world would see the snow-white sword daoist robe as a maid's uniform (default appearance).
The two of them walked all the way to the Cliff Quarry. Along the way, they saw a desolate and dilapidated scene. A territory with a prosperity of only 5 was indeed extraordinary. There was not a single shop or hotel. Everywhere was filled with numb faces and poorly dressed citizens.
He really couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a prosperity rating of less than 5.
…
At night, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi arrived at the camp of the Cliff Quarry.
This was a vertical cliff. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a simple wooden camp that occupied a large area. In the sky above the camp, there was even smoke rising in spirals.
In the camp, not only were there furnaces for forging weapons, but there was also a stable in the west with a dozen war horses. Hundreds of auxiliary bandits were working in the camp in an orderly manner.
Rather than calling this a bandit's nest, it was more like a military stronghold, the kind that was very powerful.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi looked down from above. They could see that the camp was built around the mine. At the very back of the camp was the entrance to the Cliff Quarry.
Under the light of the torch at the entrance of the camp, Bai Xiaowen used Insight on a tall and thin bandit standing guard.
[Conan (Normal Level 4)]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Profession: Scout]
[Attributes: STR 11, DEX 16, CON 10, INT 8]
[Skills: Haste, Eagle Eye]
Bai Xiaowen used Insight on a burly bandit guarding the entrance of the mine. He discovered that although the burly bandit at the entrance of the mine was also a normal monster, he was already at Level 6. He was two levels higher than the tall and thin bandit at the entrance of the camp.
"It seems that the elites of the Black Wind Bandits are in the mine. Judging from their strength, the Black Wind Bandits should be around Level 4 to Level 6. We can't rule out the existence of high-level monsters above Level 7. It seems that the Cain Plane is a medium to high difficulty plane. Even a bandit's nest is so powerful, "Bai Xiaowen said.
In comparison, the underworld of the King of Fighters was so weak that they could queue up to commit seppuku.
Awakened ones above Level 7 were known as high-level awakened ones. Compared to Level 6 awakened ones, there was an obvious difference in strength. A Level 7 leader would have additional HP and would be even more difficult to deal with.
Li Shuyi said, "The security is tight. It will be difficult for us to sneak into the mine. Are we still going to attack head-on? "
On the way, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had discussed their strategy. They would sneak in and kill the leader of the Black Wind Bandits. Without a leader, the bandit group would be in chaos. They might even be able to recruit some of the bandits.
Bai Xiaowen rejected the idea of attacking head-on.
"These bandits are a good source of soldiers," Bai Xiaowen said. "Sneaking in isn't as difficult as we thought. We're not playing a game. The bandits will be tired and need to eat and rest. The bandits on guard won't be standing there forever. There will be an opportunity. If we're discovered, it won't be too late to attack. "
Li Shuyi said, "I'm just worried that the bandit leaders will be alerted and flee on their horses. Why don't we kill the horses first?"
"Shuyi, why are you so murderous?" Bai Xiaowen shook his head and emphasized, "Those horses are my property. I have a way to deal with them."
It was late at night. The bandits, soldiers, and servants in the camp all returned to their respective camps to rest. In the huge camp, other than the two Level 4 bandits on guard at the entrance and the two Level 6 bandits on guard at the mine entrance, there was only a loose patrol team.
"They even set up patrols and sentries at night. Haha, I'm getting more and more interested in the leader of this bandit group. However, these bandits don't have strict military discipline. The people patrolling and standing guard are listless. It looks like they're just following orders from above, "Bai Xiaowen said in a low voice.
