Encountering a Third Grade soldier, Yang Rui wisely chose to retreat. The soldiers of the mountain village were all trying their best to become Third Grade soldiers. Up until now, none of them had reached the required level. They would not be able to send soldiers over to kill the Third Grade bandits in the near future!
However, the efficiency of farming monsters at night was still quite high. The bonfires pointed Yang Rui in the right direction. Ambushing monsters was a breeze, and it was much easier than fighting head-on during the day.
In one night, Yang Rui had obtained fifteen to sixteen Second Grade skill books, fifteen to sixteen sets of weapons and equipment, and over 10000 copper coins. Compared to that, his harvest was quite generous.
Just like that, Yang Rui camped near the fork in the bandit camp for three days. Due to the limitation of his stamina, from the second day onwards, Yang Rui had no choice but to arrange for Li Hong to lead the team to kill monsters at night. During the day, Yang Rui would personally keep watch. Under Yang Rui's instructions, Li Hong still used the method of ambushing to kill monsters at night. There were no mistakes.
Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, not long after Yang Rui 'took over', he discovered the figure of the yellow-scarved old Taoist at the fork in the road.
Along with the old Taoist were ten Third Grade soldiers. Naturally, Yang Rui did not dare to act rashly. He could only follow the short shrubs by the side of the road and follow the old Taoist's group from a distance, waiting for an opportunity.
The situation was just as Yang Rui expected. After the ten Third Grade bandits escorted the yellow-scarved old Taoist out of the mountains, they returned to their camp. Although the bandits here were strong, they did not dare to move too far. Once they left the mountains, they would probably have to think twice.
"Go, capture that old Taoist! Leave him alive! "
Seeing that the bandits had retreated and that there was no one around, Yang Rui ordered his soldiers to surround the yellow-scarved old Taoist.
"You are … what do you want?" Everything happened so suddenly that the yellow-scarved old Taoist did not expect the sudden appearance of five or six people. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted. "Help! Help … "
… "
By the time Daoist Priest wanted to call for help, it was already too late. Moreover, even though they were already out of the mountains, they were still in the wilderness. There were basically no players or NPCs around! The old Daoist priest had just called for help twice when his mouth was covered. His hand that was reaching for his sleeve was also grabbed. Then, he suffered a heavy blow on his head and fainted.
Yang Rui took out the rope that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to a few soldiers to tie up the old Daoist. They then carried him in the direction of the mountain village.
"Brothers in front, stop!"
Yang Rui had not walked far when a shout came from behind him. When he turned around, he saw more than a dozen players chasing after him! Someone had actually appeared in this desolate wilderness.
"Brother! What kind of business is this in broad daylight? "
One of the dozen or so people who had chased after Yang Rui had a short sword in his hand. He cupped his fist and greeted Yang Rui. His eyes swayed back and forth on the bound old man. It was obvious that he wanted to interfere.
When these people caught up, Yang Rui had already observed them. Based on their equipment and behavior, they were undoubtedly players. Even though they were chatting up and talking in a genteel manner, it was probably due to the influence of the in-game environment.
Yang Rui was very clear about the intentions of these players. He merely took out the token from his waist and waved it. He looked like he did not want to bother with them. The token on Yang Rui's waist was the proof of his identity as a patrol officer. It was personally handed to Yang Rui by Liu County Lieutenant on that day.
"Brother, what is the meaning of this?"
The man with the short sword obviously did not know what it was. He looked at the players behind him in confusion. In the end, the players shook their heads to show that they did not know what it was.
"Juping County Lieutenant's Patrol Officer Token! You guys don't know what it is? " Yang Rui waved the token in his hand again and said impatiently, "I'm carrying out my official duties. If there's nothing else, please leave!"
The players did not know what to do at that moment. Yang Rui did not care about their reaction. He turned around and led the five soldiers to detain the old Taoist priest and continued on their way.
The players looked at each other. They did not know what to do at that moment. The players were out leveling up and doing a small mission when they found their way here. Coincidentally, they saw Yang Rui detain the old Taoist priest. They thought that encountering such an NPC in the wild might be a plot mission. Therefore, they came here to get a share of the loot.
"Brother, please wait!"
Seeing that Yang Rui was about to leave with his team, the man with the short sword reacted first. Based on his initial judgment, Yang Rui should be a player. However, Yang Rui took out a County Lieutenant's Patrol Officer Token. He could not figure out Yang Rui's identity at that moment.
"May I ask if the Patrol Officer is a player or …"
Yang Rui did not care about this. He only cared about rushing forward. He had already taken a look at the equipment of these players. Only three of the dozen players were equipped with weapons like swords and sabers. The rest of the players had a mix of equipment. That was to say, there were at most two or three Second Grade soldiers in this group of players. The rest of them were nothing to worry about!
Seeing Yang Rui's reaction, the man with the short sword thought quickly. There was a high chance that a humanoid NPC in the wild could give out missions. It would be a pity to watch this NPC be taken away! After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. The man with the short sword raised his head and exchanged glances with the other players. He then nodded heavily.
These players had a tacit understanding. After getting the approval of the man with the short sword, they all chased after Yang Rui's group. They soon caught up with Yang Rui and the others and surrounded them.
Yang Rui and the others were carrying the unconscious Taoist priest. Naturally, their speed was much slower. It was normal for these players to catch up.
"Are you trying to interfere with the official business of the County Commandant?"
Surrounded by the ten players, the five Second Grade soldiers under Yang Rui's command immediately raised their guns and were on guard. They carelessly threw the yellow-scarved Taoist priest to the side. However, Yang Rui was not worried. In a real fight, strength was the key. Numbers did not mean an advantage!
"Quick … save me! These bandits attacked me out of thin air. Heroes, save me ah! I will reward you handsomely! "
After being thrown to the side, the yellow-scarved Taoist priest actually woke up. After seeing the situation clearly, he kept asking the players for help.
When these players heard the words' thieves' and 'handsomely rewarded', they seemed to have grasped the key point. They were even more convinced that this was not an ordinary mission. For a moment, everyone's eyes were shining, and they looked like they were about to pounce!
"What are you waiting for? Do it! " The player with the short sword finally could not resist the temptation. He waved his hand and ordered the other players to pounce on Yang Rui and the others.
Yang Rui saw the opportunity and took half a step forward. He waved his sword and blocked the sword of the player with the short sword.
"You have been attacked by player Starlight Sixth Squad, Brother Old Sword. You are currently in a state of self-defense. You are free to fight back!"
The system notification immediately sounded in Yang Rui's ears. At the same time, the ten players who initiated the attack had their names turned slightly red. Yang Rui was waiting for this opportunity to defend himself. Since the other party had already attacked, Yang Rui naturally would not hold back. He and the five soldiers under him attacked together and tangled with the other party.
Speaking of which, 'Starlight' was not a small gaming team. They could be ranked in the top 100 in the country! Yang Rui was very clear about this. However, looking at the way 'Starlight Sixth Squad, Brother Old Sword' was named, they were at most the outer members of Starlight.
