Yang Rui was well aware of the difference between a First Grade soldier and a Second Grade soldier. Under the same command, five or six First Grade soldiers could deal with one Second Grade soldier. The ten First Grade players and one Second Grade player in front of him were no match for Yang Rui and his five Second Grade soldiers!
Yang Rui first engaged the only Second Grade soldier present – Xing Yao Old Sword. He then mobilized one Second Grade soldier to deal with the two players with Second Grade weapons, while the other three Second Grade soldiers were free to defend and attack.
Yang Rui did not know how many Second Grade players there were on the other side. Thus, while he engaged Xing Yao Senior Sword, he arranged for his soldiers to engage the other two Second Grade players! Yang Rui had treated the two of them as Second Grade soldiers from the very beginning when he couldn't be sure of their strength!
Although the two players were wielding Second Grade weapons, they had not changed their profession to Second Grade soldiers. Thus, they were quickly defeated. In less than three to four moves, they were taken down by Yang Rui's two Second Grade soldiers.
When Yang Rui saw this scene, he knew that victory was already in his grasp. He then ordered his five subordinates to attack with all their might. White lights flashed and the remaining First Grade players were all cut down like vegetables. Only Xing Yao Senior Sword was left holding on bitterly.
Xing Yao Senior Sword was also panicking. He originally thought that exterminating Yang Rui and the other five soldiers would be a matter of minutes. Now, he was caught off guard and the situation was reversed. How could he not be shocked?
Startled, First Brother Xing Yao didn't manage to hold on for long. Very quickly, he was annihilated under the spears of the 5 soldiers. Even until the moment of his death, First Brother Xing Yao still couldn't understand how the situation turned out like this. Under the situation where they clearly had the advantage in numbers, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse and they were annihilated instead!
Yang Rui and the others did not have it easy either. This time, they were facing ten players and not system NPCs. The troops he brought were also very limited. The only reason they were able to exterminate the enemy without any losses was because the enemy had underestimated them from the start.
The ten players were all exterminated. Bits and pieces of items were scattered all over the ground. Yang Rui naturally did not hesitate to put all these items into his backpack. He then pushed the yellow scarf old man and continued on their way.
As they hurried along, Yang Rui checked the miscellaneous items in his backpack. He found that apart from a short sword and a small health potion that were more valuable, the rest were food, water, clothes and other unremarkable items.
Eh? What is this? When he reached the end, Yang Rui found something that looked like a small pouch lying in the corner. When he picked it up, he had grabbed it together with Linen Yi. Yang Rui thought it was a bracer or something like that, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case.
"I need to find the Grade 8 Red Flower Fruit!"
Yang Rui looked at the small pouch over and over again. He only found a piece of silk in the pouch. There was a small line of words on the silk.
It seemed that this was most likely a special small quest! Yang Rui quickly realized. There were many types of quests in the game 'War of the Worlds'. Although Yang Rui had not come into contact with quests like the small pouch, based on his experience, he could tell that it was not far from the mark.
Yang Rui put the small pouch back into his backpack. Although he knew that it might be a quest, without any clues, he could not proceed with it. This quest was most likely going to be wasted!
Half an hour later, Yang Rui detained the yellow scarf old man and brought him to the checkpoint of the mountain village. He threw the old man to the ground and took out the patrol token from the county magistrate's office on his waist. He then began the private interrogation.
"Old man, things have come to this point. Why don't you explain yourself?"
The yellow-turban old Daoist priest was half-lying on the ground. His eyes darted around as he examined the patrol token in Yang Rui's hand. Only then did he sit up leisurely. He tidied his appearance and looked serious.
"Little Brother Inspector, are you mistaken? The numerous disciples of the Dao of Taiping have always been helping the common people in the world to get rid of their illnesses and solve their problems. We've been praised by the people of the world. May I know why you've kidnapped me today?"
The yellow scarf old man was also a wily old fox. He calmly raised the Taiping Sect's actions to the height of morality. Although his tone was tactful, he still checkmated Yang Rui.
The Taiping Sect had indeed done a lot of good things at this time. They distributed medicinal stones and talisman water widely and were praised by most people. The yellow scarf old man's words seemed reasonable.
"Humph! For the time being, regardless of whether you are the Taiping Sect or not, the fact that you colluded with the mountain bandits is enough to punish you! I saw with my own eyes that you went to the bandit camp for three or four days. In the end, you were escorted far away by a group of bandits. Why do you have to twist words to exonerate yourself? "
Yang Rui didn't buy the yellow scarf old man's words. He told him everything about his actions in the bandit camp these days.
"This …"
The old man was speechless. His eyes rolled for a while and then he became silent. He simply didn't say anything and didn't cooperate.
"Old thief, you have to think clearly! I'm questioning you in private now. Everything is fine. But if you don't want to cooperate, I can only hand you over to the county magistrate's office to deal with! The county magistrate's office has your background. Moreover, you have already been listed as a wanted criminal by the county magistrate's office. I think you can imagine the consequences, right? "
When the county magistrate's office was mentioned, Yang Rui found that the originally calm old man suddenly trembled. Obviously, the old man was very afraid of the county magistrate's office!
Yang Rui did not really want to investigate the mistakes of the yellow-turban old Taoist. His main purpose of torturing the old Taoist was to try to get some valuable information from him. Yang Rui always felt that the old man must have a special purpose for appearing in the bandit camp of Ao Lai Mountain Pass!
"I'm innocent! Little brother, I was just passing by the official road and was taken up the mountain by the bandits! I have nothing to do with those bandits at all … "
The yellow scarf old man looked like a victim and began to shirk his relationship with the bandits. However, the more he acted like this, the more suspicious Yang Rui felt. When the old man went up the mountain, Yang Rui saw it with his own eyes. Naturally, it was not like what the old man described.
"Don't pretend to be innocent!"
Yang Rui shouted and interrupted the old man. He approached the old man with a fierce look. "I've said that you only have two choices now. One is to honestly tell me something that I want to hear. Maybe I'll let you go. Otherwise, I can only send you to the government and let the county magistrate's office interrogate you personally!"
