Chapter 388 Burning Camp
Chapter 388 Burning Camp
Upon hearing the words of the Demon Star Tower messenger, several bandit leaders in Black Wind Mountain showed expressions of disgust.
Especially Li Gun, who looked at the mysterious weirdo with a hint of cold murderous intent.
He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to turn hostile.
“Humph, what doomsday catastrophe? It’s just a trick played by some quacks. I have cultivated some magical powers, but I never imagined there would be such a thing.
Besides, even if there really is a catastrophe, it is probably related to monsters like you. It is absurd to put the blame on those who return home.
You don't have to scare me, they are just a group of people returning home, I am not afraid of them."
The Monster Star Tower messenger paused, and a strange laugh rang out from beneath his mask, "Haha, you village leaders are quite courageous. I hope that when you die without a burial place, you can still think this way.
Originally, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me, but God has a merciful heart, and my master couldn't bear to see you heroes suffer, so he sent me to give you some good things."
As he spoke, a claw with barbs like an insect stretched out from under his cloak and gently stroked the table, leaving five scarlet fruits on the table.
The fruit was covered with blood vessels, emitting a strange red light, and moving slowly with its heartbeat and breathing, as if it were a living thing.
It is intimidating, yet exudes a captivating feeling.
Li Gun snorted coldly, "Humph, take these evil things away from me and get out of here."
The envoy of the Demon Star Tower was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "Don't be so hasty to refuse, this fairy fruit contains supreme divine power, as long as you eat it, you will have extremely powerful strength, which is much more convenient than practicing hard.
Why don't you carry it with you? If you are faced with a life-or-death situation, you may need it. If you really don't want it, just throw it away and I'll leave."
After saying this, the Demon Star Tower messenger waved his hand violently, and a blood-red door appeared out of thin air behind him. The man stepped inside and disappeared immediately.
Seeing the messenger from the Demon Star Tower disappear without a trace, several leaders felt a little uneasy.
Even though people as far away as Fengyin Province have heard of the evil reputation of the Demon Star Tower, they had previously thought that it was blocked in the south by the Tianyu Army of Canglin Province, but they did not expect that it has now infiltrated here.
Not to mention, now there are those who return home and come to kill us. It is really a turbulent time. Even if you become a bandit, you will not be able to live in peace.
"Brother, what should we do with those who return home?"
"Humph, we, the five heroes of Black Wind Mountain, have dominated the area for more than ten years. When have we ever been afraid? They are just a group of returnees. When the enemy comes, we will fight back. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. I will launch a plan to kill them all. Brothers, prepare the troops and act according to our previous plan."
Li Gun's voice was steady and confident, which made the other leaders feel more calm.
"Brother is right. We brothers are united in our determination to ensure that these reckless returnees never return."
Several people walked out one after another, preparing their troops and getting ready for battle. The fifth guest in the cloud, Wu Tong, fell behind, but stopped before leaving.
"Brother, what about these immortal fruits?"
"What kind of fairy fruit is this? It's clearly a demon fruit! Nothing good will come of eating it. How can we keep such an evil thing?" As he spoke, Li Gun grabbed the five fruits in his hand. A ball of fire suddenly ignited in his hand. As the flame rose, the five demon fruits instantly turned into ashes.
The guest in the cloud looked at the fruit that had turned into ashes with some regret, nodded, and followed him out.
At this moment, the open space outside the Juyi Hall was already filled with well-equipped bandits...

"Stop!" Xiao Jie suddenly shouted. "Everyone, stop fighting and come back to reorganize the formation.
At this time, about a quarter of the buildings in the village had been cleared. In order to speed up the process, Xiao Jie formed more than a dozen cleanup teams, most of which were scattered in the village, clearing one building at a time. However, in order to prevent them from being too dispersed, he was always using YY to communicate with everyone. When they heard Xiao Jie's words, each team immediately stopped fighting.
Shrinking back.
"What's wrong, Captain?" Qianlong Wuyong asked curiously.
"There's a problem with the number of monsters!"
Xiao Jie said in a deep voice.
Without waiting for Qianlong Wuyong to continue asking questions, he began to analyze the situation for everyone.
According to previous intelligence, the Black Wind Mountain force is a large monster force with a total of about 1000 small monsters. It's not that there are only these 1000 small monsters and everything will be fine after killing them.
Instead, on the map, only 1000 monsters can appear at the same time, and they will refresh again about an hour after the monsters are killed.
In other words, as long as you can resolve the battle within an hour, you only need to face these 1000 monsters.
Intelligent monsters like bandits can deploy troops and their refresh positions are not random by the system, but are arranged according to tactics.
“From the time we climbed the mountain to the gate of the village, we killed a total of 120 monsters along the way.
In other words, there should be about 880 monsters in the village.
Although this number is not completely accurate, it is roughly correct.
We have just cleared about a quarter of the buildings, and killed only 105 bandits in total. Based on this ratio, there are only about 400 bandits lying in ambush in the entire main camp.
And didn’t you notice that the bandits rushing out of these wooden houses are basically the lowest-level Black Wind Mountain minions and Black Wind Mountain bandits.
And the ones we killed on the mountain road were all low-level monsters. What about the high-level monsters? This is very abnormal."
There are many kinds of monsters in the Black Wind Mountain force, more than a dozen in total, among which there are six more common ones.
黑风山喽啰（14-15级），黑风山强盗（15-17级），黑风山猎人（16-18级），黑风山劫掠者（19-20级），黑风山突袭者（20-22级）黑风山贼寇（21-23级）。
Generally speaking, these monsters will be mixed and refreshed, and there will often be some of each type in a group of monsters.
There are only a few low-level monsters now, as if someone arranged them deliberately.
If it was a real ambush, they would definitely arrange elite soldiers and generals. Now they arranged a bunch of rubbish monsters, which feels like they were deliberately sending themselves to death.
Xiao Bailong reacted quickly, "Captain, what do you mean - these monsters are bait?"
"Yes, they are baits, cannon fodder used to attract our attention. They are hidden in buildings to consume our time until we are scattered to deal with them. The real killer move must be yet to come."
Everyone was shocked. Although the monsters in this game were very intelligent, it was still surprising that they could carry out such a complicated plan.
But considering the characteristics of this game, it is not impossible.
The question now is what the follow-up move is.
"Could it be a fire attack?"
"Where's the tunnel?"
"Maybe it's teleportation?"
Everyone talked about various possibilities.
Xiao Jie said: "All of these are possible, but the possibility of fire attack is greater."
Xiao Jie glanced at the buildings. Most of the buildings in the mountain village were made of wood, and the roofs were covered with straw, which were very easy to ignite.
Moreover, he had discovered before that the layout of these buildings seemed to follow some kind of pattern. When it came to fire attack, he immediately discovered that these buildings were connected end to end, which made them perfect for setting fire.
The physics engine of this game is excellent. Once it catches fire, the entire village may become a sea of fire.
By then, the environmental damage alone will be enough to cause great suffering to the players.
As long as there is chaos and the bandits' ambush troops rush out, it will be time to reap the harvest.
Fortunately, the details revealed the truth, and now we can try to counter it.
"Captain, what should we do?"
"Haha, since they want to play with the fire alliance, then we should help them. Take out all the materials we prepared before and spread them out."
There are still some gaps between these wooden buildings, so if you just light a few fires, they may not burn. But if you fill these gaps with straw bundles or firewood bundles, then you can naturally burn down the entire camp with one fire.
No matter whether it is a real ambush or a fake one, just burn it all down with fire first, and then advance your troops when it becomes a ruin.
At the command, everyone threw the bundles of straw and firewood that they had prepared in advance into the narrow space between the buildings.
"Light a fire! Everyone retreat to the hillside."
The rear team retreated first, going down the mountain road, while the front team retreated while frantically throwing gunpowder pots and kerosene pots at the surrounding haystacks and wooden houses.
Deidara even released fire spells crazily.
In the blink of an eye, the village was on fire. Wooden buildings would catch fire once they suffered a certain amount of fire damage. It was difficult to quickly set the entire village on fire, but with Deidara, a Five Elements Warlock who specialized in fire magic, four or five fires were ignited in an instant.
No, it's still not big enough. It will take several hours to burn down the entire village. By then, all the monsters I killed before will probably be refreshed.
I need a hand.
Xiao Jie raised his hand.
Magic - calling the wind!
Whoosh! The wind blew hard, fanning the flames. The flames suddenly grew louder and burned with crackling sounds.
"Haha, I'll come too!"
Strawberry Coke swung the peach wood sword.
"The wind is coming—hurry up and obey the command!"
The wind became more violent, and the entire village burned even faster.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a sea of fire. The Black Wind Mountain minions and Black Wind Mountain bandits hiding in the buildings were suddenly burning, screaming, and falling down in the flames.
The entire main village of Black Wind Mountain was enveloped in a sea of fire.
