Chapter 485: Capturing the Bandit Leader Alive
Chino witnessed Edward's annihilation of the horse bandits, and also gained a new understanding of the Trojan family's plague beast warriors.
Previously, Chino had not witnessed the plague beast fighting many times, and it was counted three times in full fights.
Once in Shilin Town, in order to fight against the horse bandits, he released those late-stage infected people in the lower epidemic area, and they fought very fiercely with the horse bandits.
The second time was when he was appointed as the administrator of Twilight City and fought against the reincarnation invasion, Brooke lost control of his beast under serious injuries, and once restrained the invading reincarnation team.
The last time was in the face of Jack the Ripper, the Trojan elites from the Governor's Mansion of Fengyun Pass collectively beastified, tearing apart all the reincarnators except Jack.
In fact, as a second-generation infected, Hanyi can also carry out autonomous beasting, but Chino has never seen it.
He was once curious and wanted to let Hanyi turn into the form of a plague beast for him to see, but Hanyi refused to live or die, according to herself, "too ugly".
Hanyi refused to turn into a plague beast, but she told Chino that her beast-transformed abilities were no different from most plague beast warriors - her body was beast-in-the-body, her athletic abilities skyrocketed, her pain nerves were greatly suppressed, and her fighting instincts were greatly increased.
These experiences led Chino to believe that the Plague Warriors were all of a similar trait, a class that relied entirely on physical strength, with great strength, speed, and high defense, and nothing more.
But now it seems that this is a misconception.
The physical functions of the plague beasts are extremely strong, there is no doubt about it, but some ultra-high-level plague beasts, such as Edward's 6th sequence, are not only a matter of strong physical combat ability, but they also have energy killing methods, which are enough to deal with thousands of troops.
Chino looked sideways at Edward, and it seemed that he would have to be more careful with this man in the future.
After the crow feathers were returned, Edward had been relieved of his plague beast form, and his complexion looked unusual, as if slaughtering a thousand people was as easy as eating and drinking.
"You don't look surprised." Edward said lightly.
Chino didn't have any expression on his face: "I'm just thinking, you wiped out all the horse bandits who were instructed to come to rob, how are we going to find clues about Hu Shanrong next." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool." Edward smiled briefly and led the way towards the top of the oasis.
Leaving the edge of the oasis, Chino understood what he was talking about.
In the massacre just now, Edward did not completely destroy the horse bandits, but deliberately left a living mouth, and it was the leader of this horse bandit team of 1,000 people.
Although the bandit leader has rich combat experience and excellent psychological quality, he has never encountered such a terrifying transcendent as Edward, he was surrounded by the carbonized corpses of his companions, and he sat on the ground for a while at a loss.
Edward stepped forward and kicked the bandit leader in the shoulder, knocking him to the ground, and asked without any emotion, "Who sent you?" ”
The bandit leader's eyes wandered, and he asked in a deep voice: "I said... Will you let me go? ”
Edward sneered and said, "Even if I say yes, do you believe it?" ”
Bandit Leader: "I don't believe it. ”
Edward: "And what do you ask?" ”
After hearing this, the bandit leader's eyes widened, and his temper also came up, with an expression of looking at death as if he were at home: "It's all death anyway, why should Lao Tzu tell you!" ”
Chino smiled and said: "Death is also divided into death, comfortable and uncomfortable, you can't choose life and death, but you can choose how to die." ”
The bandit leader shouted righteously: "It doesn't matter how you die, Lao Tzu is not afraid!" Lao Tzu belongs to the vulture tribe under the command of the Holy Lord of the Desert, and the blood of the King of Horses flows in his body, and the proud son of the Son of Heaven who gallops in the desert never surrenders! ”
Chino: "Do you know who I am?" ”
The bandit leader glared and scolded: "It's my business! ”
Chino: "I'm Chino Van Helsing. ”
The bandit leader collapsed directly and pleaded, "I said... I say everything... You just ask..."
Edward raised an eyebrow at Chino, who shrugged his shoulders in frustration, as it seemed that he was known to be good at torture.
Edward looked at the bandit leader and asked, "Are you following us all the way?" Or did someone send you? ”
The bandit leader swallowed his throat and whispered, "There is no tracking... Someone tied a letter to an arrow and shot it into our camp, and the location of the letter was marked as this oasis, saying that there was a lot of money to be robbed. ”
Edward gave him a kick: "You believe what the letter says?" A team of 1,000 people really rushed over? You're taking me for a fool, aren't you? ”
The bandit leader hurriedly explained: "We must not believe it when we change it, but there is a golden moon in that letter... O Golden Moon! That's more than enough for us to rob a large caravan! ”
"With this golden moon as a guarantee, regardless of whether the 'big fortune' mentioned in the letter is true or not, I will definitely bring people over to take a look, right? But who knew it would run into you both..."
Rather believe it, this explanation also makes sense.
Edward thought for a moment, walked up to Chino's side and whispered, "Let's assume that the person who shot the letter is Hu Shanjung, who knows that he can't get the ransom easily, and has specially chosen this oasis far from the borders of the kingdom as the place to trade. ”
"But he didn't show up in person, but sent a message to the horse bandits, telling them to come here and rob the money..."
Edward seemed to think of something, and looked at the bandit leader again, "Did you make any agreement with the person who wrote the secret letter?" What is the proportional share of the money that is snatched back? ”
The bandit simply shook his head: "There is no agreement, and we have not met the person who wrote the letter." ”
Suddenly, the horse bandit felt that the back of his neck was pinched by Edward's big hand, and there was a sharp pain from the huge force squeezing the neck bone, and he exclaimed, "I haven't seen it!" I've become like this, why am I still lying to you? ”
Edward was silent for a moment, then let go of his hand and looked at Chino: "This is not right, Hu Shanrong's purpose is ransom, but he has not reached a cooperation with the horse bandits, so what if the horse bandits grab this ransom?" Hu Shanrong can't get a single monthly coin, and the ransom money is all to the horse bandits, what's the use of him doing this series of plans? ”
Chino groaned, thoughtful: "Could it be that Hu Shanrong first borrowed the hand of the horse bandits to get the ransom to make sure that we were not watching and following him, and then attacked and killed the horse bandit camp in the middle of the night, took advantage of the chaos to snatch the ransom money, and escaped?" ”
This provided Edward with a new idea, adding a layer of turnover in the middle, first letting the horse bandits rob the money, and then robbing the horse bandits, which is indeed a good anti-tracking method.
But after thinking about it carefully, Edward still had doubts: "There is no problem in terms of motives, but Hu Shanrong is not a top powerhouse, at most he can deal with hundreds of people at the same time, and his strength should not be enough to forcibly rush and kill a camp garrisoned by a thousand horse bandits..."
Thinking of this, Edward's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he grabbed the bandit leader and asked, "Is there any place to live between this oasis and your camp?" ”
Although the terrain of the desert is complex, the bandit leader was born here and grew up here, and the surrounding hundreds of miles are areas where he often moves, so he knows the terrain well.
Without hesitation, the bandit leader replied, "Yes, our camp is stationed in an oasis 77 miles due north and 53 miles to the northwest, which is very close to our route back to the camp. ”
Edward: Take us to the oasis, right now! ”
