Volume 2 Amber Chapter 26: Stop Fighting
"Go on."
Chen Lun became interested.
"Generally speaking, bandits like them would not harass a team that is not transporting goods. It is a thankless task...
But the group of people just now were very tough and said they must search the carriage to see who was sitting inside. "
Walsh then leaned over and whispered:
"In fact, in a metropolis like Amber City, noble ladies often go missing, and are then auctioned off on the black market or in other small circles...
Even if they are not women, some handsome boys are also popular. "
Walsh said this, as if realizing something, and quickly added:
"Mr. Jack is elegant and as bright as the stars, and Miss Floyd is even more beautiful, more dazzling and charming than the moonlight...
I'm worried about the bad intentions of these disgusting people."
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, Walsh!
You really can’t speak!
You only pick out the truth to tell, which is embarrassing. Although I am thin-skinned, you can say more to temper my fragile heart.
"Big cities are really chaotic...Aren't they going to kidnap the ugly or elderly men? Are these bandits discriminating?"
Chen Lun was indignant.
"Well, not really. If someone looks rich and powerful, they will just kidnap and extort them."
Walsh explained.
Chen Lun couldn't help but shake his head. Nowadays, robbers have to choose their food according to their situation. If they don't have some backers behind them, they will not be able to survive.
At this moment, the situation that was originally thought to be settled suddenly changed.
The bandit leader took out two iron gloves and put them on himself, with sharp steel nails embedded in the knuckles. He caught a guard's blow with his bare hands, making a crisp sound, and then punched the guard's abdomen with his other hand.
Bang!
At the moment the iron glove and armor collided, Chen Lun noticed that the small hole on the edge of the glove opened and a stream of air spurted out.
The guard cried out in pain and flew backwards.
Everyone present was shocked. How could these refugee-like bandits be so powerful? And what kind of black technology was that black iron glove? One punch could dent the armor and directly make a guard lose his combat effectiveness!
After defeating his opponent, the bandit leader rushed to the next guard with excitement on his face.
The morale of the bandits, who were originally on the verge of defeat, suddenly rose, and the guards also began to become timid and chose to avoid this guy.
Just when the bandit leader thought he could kill everyone, he suddenly heard a loud bang.
boom!!
The pain came the next second.
He raised his fist high, but before it fell, he found a bloody hole on his left chest.
He took a few steps back and fell down with a thud.
Blood began to spread from under him.
[You killed the bandit leader and gained 10 experience points]
Everyone turned around and saw a young man with slightly curly black hair wearing a white shirt, trousers and leather shoes standing upright in front of the carriage, holding a flintlock rifle pointing at this side, with smoke coming out of the muzzle.
"Stop fighting."
Chen Lun performed a gun trick, blew into the muzzle, and put the gun back into his hip...sheath.
Thanks to the investigator brothers in the shelter, he also enjoyed the thrill of killing someone in seconds.
With the death of the bandit leader and the threat of the musket, the bandits scattered like birds and beasts. At Walsh's shout, the guards did not pursue them, but turned around to take care of the wounded.
Just then, Chen Lun received a prompt.
[Trigger D-level mission: Chase the desperate enemy]
Mission Description: You were ambushed by bandits, but they were defeated by your powerful strength. Provoked, will you choose to give chase?
This group of robbers blocked the road and robbed people, kidnapped hostages, and there seemed to be something shocking hidden behind them...
Mission reward: 300 experience points and 500 copper kro.
Chen Lun has become accustomed to the naughty prompt boxes. When he first started playing "Mysterious Times" in his previous life, he was often yelled at by prompts.
At that time, many players cursed at this in the forum.
One of the guys said that he received a mission that clearly stated that it involved a rare and strange creature, but after working hard to complete the mission, he got a [Grade D] automatic refill coffee pot.
It would be fine if it were just that, at least there are always drinking resources available when you go out.
Until one day, the guy poured out a strange yellow-brown liquid from the coffee pot...
The price of this [weird item] is that you must drink it all. If you don't finish it, you will be forced into a thirsty state and all your attributes will be reduced for ten days.
It would be better to kill him after ten days of weakening. Forced to do so, the player had no choice but to swallow it.
If nothing else, this coffee pot is probably a bit hot.
The task prompt was indeed correct, this pot was unique. Not to mention, many wealthy people who were curious about it came to buy it from him, and the development of the matter was very magical.
Chen Lun originally didn't want to take this task because the reward was too low. But he realized in time that he couldn't get carried away just because he became rich.
You can never have too much experience points or money!
The journey to becoming stronger can never stop!
So after accepting the mission, he asked Walsh and his team to stay where they were. He also asked them to keep the suspicious pair of gloves for Walsh and wait for him to take a closer look when he came back.
He said hello to Floy and turned to chase in the direction the robber left.
…
Chen Lun followed the robbers' footsteps, left the main road and entered the dense forest.
This place is quite eerie. The trees are very tall, and their lush branches and leaves block out the sunlight.
There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, which made a crunching sound when stepped on, and from time to time, all kinds of strange noises could be heard from all around.
quack--
A crow flew through the woods, dropping black feathers.
It flapped its wings and slowly landed on Chen Lun's arm. The crow turned its head, looked at him with its smart little eyes, and then croaked a few times.
Chen Lun handed over a few beetles that he had picked up on the road. The crow ate one in a mouthful, raised its head and swallowed them. Then it croaked twice and flew away flapping its wings.
Chen Lun got the news he wanted and continued moving in one direction.
"There's a camp, right? There are about a dozen people..."
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Lun vaguely saw a fire.
He slowed down his pace, pushed aside a few leaves from the bushes, and saw clearly the scene in the open space ahead.
This was a bandit camp about the size of a small basketball court. There was a big bonfire burning in the middle, with beast thighs roasting next to it, and a few men in dirty clothes cooking a pot of unknown soup.
The other men were sharpening weapons, including axes, sickles, daggers, kitchen knives, and all sorts of other things.
In the corner, the looted goods were piled up in neatly stacked boxes, with a hole in the top that looked like it had been cut open, revealing some metal ingots and ore and coal.
Next to this pile of goods were several large iron cages, inside which were locked up men, all of whom were old and ugly.
"Why is it different from what Walsh said?"
Chen Lun was a little confused. Why did these robbers arrest these people? Are there really such heavy taste buyers?
A burly man was sitting on a stool, playing with a dagger in his hand. Next to him were the robbers who had just blocked the road. They were standing dejectedly, like primary school students who failed the exam and were criticized.
"What a bunch of rubbish!"
The burly man cursed.
"That bastard Hyena is a loser! Not only did he mess up everything, he even lost the 'Crazy Hand' that was sent by the higher-ups!"
