Along with Ian's death, Bai Xiaowen also got a series of reminders, all of which were about changes in favorability and reputation-related information.

What interests Bai Xiaowen more is that Ma Qi, the lord of the Red Leaf Collar, has a reduced favorability towards him, but the decrease is not large, and it is currently at the cold level.

In addition to the treasure chest dropped by Ian, the two level 7 elite bandit guards killed also dropped a large silver treasure chest. As for the few elite bandits who were killed by Bai Xiaowen's two-shot snake nagi just now at the mouth of the tunnel, there were also two medium-sized silver treasure chests dropped.

Bai Xiaowen's black soul stone, the growth level has soared, and now it is 233/300 growth, and the soul essence also has 173 points. It seems that it won't be long before the Black Soul Stone will be able to reach level 4.

In addition, Bai Xiaowen's combat experience also exceeds 60%. Killing Ian and the level 7 elite will bring quite a lot of benefits.

However, this battle was also very hard, mainly reflected in the loss of summoned creatures, 3 of the 4 skeleton blade shieldmen were killed, the health of the furious claw was only about 1/3, and the shadow assassin was also less than half health.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the skeletal shield man died, and he could be re-summoned after 12 hours.

"Time is pressing, don't open the treasure chest yet," Bai Xiaowen said, "Now the robbers are all fleeing, but we gave the horses laxatives in advance, and they can't escape." Let's go and rescue the hostages first, and then depending on the situation, we can collect as many soldiers as we can. ”

Li Shuyi nodded, and the two of them put away the dropped treasure chests, and then rushed to the pit in the north area of the mine non-stop.

Although the battle with the bandit leader Ian was fierce, it only took a few minutes, and it was completely too late to rescue the hostages and collect the bandits.

Bai Xiaowen had already memorized the map of the mine with a perverted memory, and rushed to the North District at this time, without worrying about being discovered by robbers, the two of them hurried very fast, and it didn't take long to come to the mine in the North District.

The pit was empty. Only the light of the dull yellow torches, pulsing and flickering slightly.

"Was the hostage taken away?" Li Shuyi said worriedly, "The guard named 'Old Matt' is not there......"

Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "It stands to reason that the bandit leaders have all been killed, and the people are panicking, who will take care of a hostage?" He walked into the mine, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, a slightly green female voice sounded: "Don't look for it, I'm here." ”

The voice came from overhead.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi looked up and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that from the top of the mine, an iron chain hung down, and the hostage was locked in a cage at the end of the chain, hanging about two meters high.

"Do you have any sympathy for laughing at me like this!" The iron cage shook slightly, and the two small white hands held the iron railing and shook it vigorously, showing that the owner of the small hand was very angry.

"Don't shake, aren't you dizzy yourself?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled, he quickly found a winch mechanism in the corner of the wall, turned it hard, the creaking iron chain sounded, and the iron cage was put down.

"Who are you, and why were you caught by the Black Wind Bandits?" Bai Xiaowen asked as he turned the winch.

"I ...... I am a knight-trainee, and I have heard the stories of the Bandits of the Black Wind and the crimes of the Bandits on behalf of justice...... Oops!"

When the iron cage was half a meter above the ground, it suddenly lost control and landed freely, with a clang. Bai Xiaowen smiled and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, my hand slipped in the last paragraph." ”

“...... For your sake, I forgive you. There was a muffled voice from the cage.

Soon the iron cage opened, and a blue-haired girl bent down and probed out.

With a pop, the blue-haired girl lay on the stone ground in the posture of a goose falling on the flat sand.

"Are you hurt?" asked Li Shuyi in surprise.

"I didn't ...... No injuries. My legs are numb......" The blue-haired girl was wearing a layer of cool armor that had a more decorative effect than the actual effect, and she struggled to support the ground with her hands but couldn't get up, so she could only tilt her head and stretch out her little hand to Li Shuyi: "Help, do me a favor......"

The Shadow Assassin stepped forward, grabbing the girl's hand and pulling her up.

The girl exclaimed: "Filthy, filthy undead creatures......" She wanted to withdraw her hand a little, but she was afraid of falling again, and hesitated.

"Don't worry, this is my summoned creature and won't hurt you. Bai Xiaowen said.

The blue-haired girl exclaimed again, "Despicable, despicable necromancer......"

“......”

The Shadow Assassin decisively withdrew his hand, and the blue-haired girl stumbled and was about to fall. Fortunately, Li Shuyi took a step forward and helped her up.

"Thank you, thank you......"

Li Shuyi could only apologize for Bai Xiaowen, and at the same time clarified: "He is a multi-race summoner, not a simple necromancer, and we are doing a righteous thing, just killed the leader of the Black Wind Bandit Group." ”

The blue-haired girl was taken aback.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Just rescue the people, let's hurry out and block those robbers." He took the summoned creatures such as Fury Claw and strode out of the cave.

Li Shuyi supported the blue-haired trainee knight and followed behind, chatting with each other for a few words at the same time, and telling each other about their identities and origins.

The blue-haired girl's name is Berita, and she is a probationary knight of the Holy Light Church, and this time she came out to perform a probationary knight's mission, and after completing it, she can be promoted to a full-fledged knight.

"Is your mission to exterminate the Black Wind Bandits? Such a difficult mission......" Li Shuyi was a little strange.

"No, it's not...... My apprenticeship is to deliver letters...... "Bernita bowed her head, "I have already delivered letters, and on the way back, I suddenly saw a few poor refugees in poor clothes, and after asking, I found the ...... from here."

Bai Xiaowen, who was walking in front, also heard this passage and was secretly amused in his heart.

It turned out to be a chick who had read too much, and it was estimated that she had some background, and the Holy Light Holy See didn't think about how difficult it would be for her to perform the apprenticeship task, just to simply send a letter. But this chick actually ran to the biggest robber's den in Baishi Town to make a righteous spring, which is really a model of death.

Fortunately, Ian, the boss of the Black Wind Bandits, is not a normal bandit, otherwise this chick named Bernita would have become the RBQ of the robbers...... There is no doubt about the level of hunger and thirst of the robbers, as can be seen from the previous robber named Kitts.

However, after rescuing Berita, Bai Xiaowen finally received a prompt message:

"[Side Quest: Rescue] completed. ”

"Mission Objective: Rescue the hostages in the northern pit of the Cliff Mine, so far: 1/1. ”

"Is this gone?" Bai Xiaowen was stunned, what about the reward?
