21: Crazy Wind Village

Pfft!

Blood splattered as a green lizard exploded in Xiao Shi’s hand, crushed by him.

A flask dropped out.

Xiao Shi reached out to catch it, pulled open the stopper, and sniffed it.

His eyes lit up.

This was the exact kind of wine he wanted!

Among the items that had dropped, there was a type of wine that made one extremely easy to get drunk.

Just a little too much of this wine would lead to intoxication.

No matter one's cultivation or drinking capacity, consuming a certain amount would inevitably lead to getting drunk.

Xiao Shi now planned to use this wine to get the people of Kuangfeng Stronghold drunk.

Once everyone in Kuangfeng Stronghold was drunk, it would be simple for him to go in and rescue the person.

His only concern was the quantity of wine... Although, according to the layout of Kuangfeng Stronghold, he wouldn't need to get everyone drunk, only the bandits inside.

But it would still require a good amount of wine.

The current amount Xiao Shi had was not quite enough.

However, he still had many insects and birds; if it wasn't enough, he could continue to hire people to collect more.

These ordinary insects and birds were very common.

It wasn't difficult to acquire them.

It was just that killing too many of them took some time.

As he continuously killed, more and more items dropped, and the amount of wine steadily increased.

After two consecutive days of killing.

He not only successfully accumulated enough wine but also gained other rewards.

【Name: black gold sword】

【Type: Weapon】

【Rank: Entering Martial Rank】

【Description: A sword forged from black gold, sharpness is its characteristic.】

【Note: The standard weapon for a Martial Warrior of the Entrance to Martial Realm.】

...Xiao Shi looked at the golden sword in his hand.

He finally had an Entering Martial Rank weapon.

Although the Night Watch Division also had Entering Martial Rank weapons, they required contribution points to exchange for, and were expensive.

Xiao Shi had seen them at the time and hadn't been willing to exchange.

After all, he didn't have many contribution points.

It was better to wait for drops from killing.

Now it seemed his decision was very wise.

However, he also noticed... the probability of ordinary creatures dropping Entering Martial Rank items was getting lower and lower.

He still remembered.

The last time an ordinary creature dropped an Entering Martial Rank item was when he killed Spotted Bugs in the sect; at that time, he killed thousands of Spotted Bugs in a row before finally getting an Entering Martial Rank storage bag.

And this time, he had killed tens of thousands of insects and birds before a single Entering Martial Rank item dropped.

According to this pattern... next time an ordinary creature drops an Entering Martial Rank item, it might require killing hundreds of thousands of them to have a chance.

This also made him realize that trying to obtain Entering Martial Rank items by killing ordinary creatures was very inefficient.

Far less efficient than directly killing Martial Warriors of the Entrance to Martial Realm... "Sir, will all this wine of yours... really be useful?"

After Xiao Shi handed all the wine to Yin She, Yin She couldn't help but ask.

Although Kuangfeng Stronghold Lord had praised the taste of the flask of wine he brought back last time, and excitedly rubbed his hands when he heard he could get more, also agreeing with his idea of holding a banquet.

But he still didn't understand Xiao Shi's intention.

After all, after Kuangfeng Stronghold Lord drank that flask of wine, besides finding it delicious, there were no other abnormalities.

"Just do as I instruct."

Xiao Shi did not explain.

The reason he only gave Yin She one flask of wine was mainly because he considered that drinking too much of this wine would lead to intoxication.

However, even if Kuangfeng Stronghold Lord got drunk, he would only be intoxicated by the taste of this fine wine, and wouldn't care about getting drunk, but for safety, Xiao Shi still only gave him a small amount.

"Then will I... have to drink it too?"

Yin She always felt there was something wrong with this wine.

He was worried something would happen if he drank it.

"Don't worry, this wine is harmless."

Xiao Shi said.

He knew that only this kind of natural wine, without any additives, would work.

If he were to poison the wine or something similar, it would instead arouse the other party's vigilance and be difficult to succeed.

As Yin She took all the wine away.

Xiao Shi also began his preparations.

Liuyue Mountain is located seventy miles north of Jin Yun City.

The entire Liuyue Mountain is massive, looking like a crescent moon from afar.

This shape of mountain is quite rare.

From the foot of Liuyue Mountain to its peak, there are numerous bandit strongholds of varying sizes.

Kuangfeng Stronghold is located on the mountainside of Liuyue Mountain.

By the time Xiao Shi arrived near Liuyue Mountain, it was already evening.

He then began to wait at the foot of Liuyue Mountain.

The banquet would be held at night.

The reason he asked Yin She to arrange the time at night was because, as a Night Watch, night was his strongest period!

Although, according to his plan, if successful, he could rescue the person without a fight.

But at night, all his abilities would be maximized, and even if an accident occurred, he could respond in the best state.

"If I can successfully get the bandits inside drunk, I can also take the opportunity to slaughter them all..."

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Shi's eyes.

Anticipation welled up in his heart.

Such an opportunity to kill many Martial Warriors of the Entrance to Martial Realm at once was rare.

Once successful, he would gain many Entering Martial Rank items in one fell swoop.

He would have no psychological burden in killing these wicked bandits.

However, after careful consideration.

Xiao Shi felt it was better to rescue the person first, and then kill.

If he killed first, once he was in the process of killing, if people from other strongholds came over, or if other situations caused an alarm, he would only be forced to flee, with no chance to rescue the person.

Ultimately, rescuing the person was the most important part of this operation.

"I can rescue the person first, settle them in a relatively safe place, and then go back to kill. This way, even if an alarm is raised while killing, I can flee without worries."

Xiao Shi had a complete plan in mind.

As the sun set and the moonlight rose.

The arrival of night made Xiao Shi clearly feel his body become active.

All aspects showed improvement.

He did not rush into action, silently calculating the time.

Until deep night arrived... "It's about time!"

Xiao Shi moved.

Transforming into a black shadow, he began to ascend the mountain.

He had a topographical map of the entire Liuyue Mountain, clearly knowing the exact location of each stronghold, and in his advance, he skillfully bypassed these strongholds without being detected.

From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, although there were many strongholds and some bandits patrolling the mountain, Xiao Shi's nimble evasion allowed him to avoid them all.

In the darkness, not only were his speed and agility enhanced, but his vision, hearing, smell, and other senses were also comprehensively strengthened.

It could be said that his vision in the dark was even better than his daytime vision, allowing him to see farther and clearer.

The enhancement of his five senses allowed him to quickly detect even the slightest disturbance around him.

He easily made his way from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.

At this moment, in front of him was a stronghold enclosed by tall wooden fences.

Kuangfeng Stronghold, he had arrived!
