Chapter 0010: The First Battle in the Jungle

The mage's robe was not suitable for walking through the jungle, so Li Xun changed into linen civilian clothes early, put on deerskin boots, put on a cloak, carried mosquito repellent herbs in his arms, and followed the housekeeper's prompts to touch the valley where he fought last time.

Since the thieves chose to ambush there, it means that they will not be too far from their lair.

Li Xun had already opened his soul vision and glanced around vigilantly. Waiting for the tall trees to completely block the possible view, Li Xun summoned 5 skeleton warriors and ordered them to disperse in battle formation, with 3 in the front and 1 in the back, slowly advancing towards the depths of the forest.

Due to the rampant bandit group, no hunters dared to come to the Whispering Forest for a long time, but it was also convenient for Li Xun.

The forest is deep, and it is easy to get lost when walking through it, Li Xun commanded the team to go to a small hillside that he had already recognized, and when he got there, he would recognize the next sign.

In the soul vision, I saw faint red dots of some small animals from time to time, and quickly ran away after discovering Li Xun's team. Li Xun didn't chase either, and went straight to the small hillside.

When the small hillside came into view, Li Xun stopped moving forward and glanced at the top of the hillside. There are 5 different red dots from the front, 4 red dots gathered behind the rocks behind, and 1 red dot alone in the shade of the trees at the top of the slope.

Sentry? It's only 3 miles from the edge of the Whispering Forest, and the thieves can start setting up sentry posts? The thieves are very vigilant!

Relying on the soul vision, Li Xun did not use the mage armor and decided to run naked to the battlefield. After all, the magic aura of the mage armor is too dazzling in the dark mountain forest, and although the mage armor is safe, it has also become the biggest monster attraction. But if you don't open the mage armor, if a thief or ranger gives him an arrow, it will be a lot of fun. He will become the opposite of the mage to cast spells, the stupidest mage who dares to run naked into battle. But now that I have soul vision, it's very different, and I really haven't seen a thief or a ranger who can block the light of his soul.

A group of thieves hiding in the forest to rob houses and houses can recruit at most a few rogue thieves and forest rangers, and it is impossible for a high-ranking professional to be willing to do such a long-lived business. Low-level thieves and rangers, as long as they can't get close, don't have much to do to attack them.

Thinking about it, Li Xun took advantage of the cover of the forest and followed the blind spot of the red dot to direct the skeleton warrior to move forward slowly.

Where the red dot was located was a bush, and a figure could be seen lying on the grass felt underground, cloaked in camouflage, looking up at the forest below the hillside from time to time. The bushes were about 30 meters away from the four red dots behind, and there was a huge rock in between, Li Xun estimated that there should be a den behind the rock, and the people inside were probably sleeping. After all, it's just dawn, pinching the time, and the person on the night shift must not be able to sleep, and the person in charge of the lookout is the one who has just taken over. If the lookout is killed quickly, the other 4 can be easily blocked in the den.

I estimated the distance, and I was about 15 meters away from the lookout. Li Xun leaked half of his face from behind the big tree, silently preparing a spell, his soul moved, and a skeleton warrior who suddenly stepped forward no longer covered his body, and walked directly in front of the hillside, making a unique "click" sound of bone friction.

The lookout in the bushes was startled, lowered his head and listened to the movement, and then slowly looked up at the slope. Before he could see the situation, a scream sounded from the side, and the magic arrow was hitting his head, and immediately the brain pierced and cracked, and the corpse twitched a few times before there was no movement.

Li Xun waved his hand, and the 3 skeleton warriors quickly rushed into the bushes, while he stared at the 4 red dots behind the rocks, but fortunately, there was not much movement, and the 4 red dots did not react. Li Xun commanded the skeleton warriors to cover the blood on the lookout's body with dirt before touching behind the rocks.

I looked behind the rock, and sure enough, in the shadow of the leeward behind the rock, there was a small thatched house, and four red dots were inside. Li Xun didn't delay, the four skeleton warriors rushed straight to the wooden door of the thatched house, and as soon as they arrived at the door, a piercing scream sounded from under the feet of the skeleton warriors.

Li Xun's eyes were glazed, "magic alarm", it seems that there is at least one forest ranger in it. Before the sound could be heard, three skeleton warriors slammed open the wooden door and rushed in, while the remaining one stood at the door. And Li Xun did not show his leaky figure, and still hid behind the rock to command remotely.

There was a muffled sound, mixed with shouting, and with the miserable hiss of the knife cutting into the flesh, the thatched hut shook violently. Two red dots quickly went out, and one was still wandering around the house, but it was already a little dim, and only the brightest red dot slammed the door and struck with the skeleton warriors guarding outside.

Li Xun peeked at him, he was a tall and thin man in disheveled clothes, holding a bow without arrows in one hand and barely parrying a short dagger in the other. The arm holding the bow was bloodstained, and it was obvious that it could no longer be raised, and it should be the ranger who placed the "magic alarm".

The tall and thin man dodged the attack of the skeleton warrior, and only then did he see who was attacking him. Oh my God, it's the undead! What's going on, and why are there undead creatures in the Whispering Forest? Before he could figure it out, a terrible hissing came from the thatched hut, and another companion died. The tall and thin man immediately became anxious, he had just woken up from his sleep, he was slashed in the shoulder, and before he could figure out the situation, his three companions all died tragically, and the one who was on guard was estimated to be reimbursed, and he had to flee immediately.

Before he could see the direction, a black light penetrated his body, and he immediately knelt on the dirt ground with his legs and feet, and the bone knife of the skeleton warrior opposite him slashed down with the sound of the wind.

The tall and thin man screamed and collapsed to the ground, the bone knife of the skeleton warrior stopped in front of his forehead and did not fall, and then two more skeletons came up and pressed his hands.

Just as he panicked, a cloaked man and a skeleton spun out from behind the rock. The cloaked man wore a hood, and his whole body was wrapped in a gray cloth cloak, and he walked up to the tall and thin man, muttered a few words, and pointed his finger on his forehead. The tall and thin man shook for a moment, his eyes blurred, and he gradually lost focus and became wooden.

Li Xun gave an order, and several skeletons acted together, dragging all four corpses to the mud behind the thatched hut to dig and bury them, and he found a dry stone and sat down and began to ask the tall and thin man.

After falling under the curse of weakness and seducing humans, the tall and thin man answered all of Li Xun's questions honestly. Li Xun snapped his fingers, and the two skeletons dragged the tall and thin man to the edge of the freshly dug dirt pit behind the house, and after a short hiss, only the sound of earth and stones rolling down remained. Li Xun sat on the stone and held his cheek, thinking about the information just now.

The lair of the Blood Axe Thieves was less than 10 miles from the Ambush Valley, that is, 17 miles from the edge of the Whispering Forest. The advantage is that Li Xun doesn't have to run too far, and the disadvantage is that he is too close to the edge of the forest, and the cemetery castle will be easily discovered by the outside world in the future. Forget it, before the blood axe is destroyed, you still don't have to have a headache because you don't eat the meat in your mouth.

Looking at his experience points, 5 humans gave him 60 experience points: 4 ordinary people 40 points, and Level 1 Ranger 20 points, it seems that the professional is much higher than the ordinary person in terms of soul strength.

The Asteric Blood Axe is obviously not a smart man, and if he were a smart man, he would not fight the local lord for hatred. But he was cautious, and since the abduction of Sir Hanwick's young son, he had set up sentry posts in several dangerous positions in the woodland, and he was one of them who was attacked by himself today.

Each guard is 5 people, and it rotates every three days, and since this small hill is facing a forest path that Orion often walks, a Level 1 ranger is specially assigned. Due to the hard fight with the public ** team, the thieves group killed and injured nearly 200 people, although more than 100 people were recruited half-caught and half-recruited, the team was still very untidy, only about 730 people.

In addition to the level 9 berserker Asterian Blood Axe, there are also two level 7 berserkers and a level 6 thief, and even the level 1 ranger who just died in the hands of Li Xun is considered a talent, and is very valued by the Asterian Blood Axe.

The Blood Axe's lair is stationed on a low hill, and the roads around it are steep and difficult to walk, with only one mountain road in front of it, making it a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The top of the hill was very flat and open, and it was run by the Blood Axe Thieves for several years, and the whole hill was surrounded by a camp made of wood, and the farmers were caught in it to grow some grain and melons and fruits, and with the supplies looted from outside, it was also a good time. Sir Hanwick's young son is imprisoned somewhere behind the hilltop, not because Astelli's Blood Axe doesn't want to kill him, but because he intends to use him to break open the castle gates when he attacks Sir Hanwick's castle.

Someone from this observation point should come to change the guard one day, should they wait for a sneak attack or switch to another sentry? Li Xun pondered silently.
