Chapter 137: Broken Base, Corroded Vines, Confrontation Before and After, and the Battle Begins!
The leader of the thieves group thought about it for a moment, looking at the surrounding men whose eyes lit up after hearing a thousand gold coins. At this moment, the leader of the thieves felt that the time had come.
Although their band of thieves had committed several large-scale thefts in Wei Feng Town before, to be honest, in the eyes of the people above, they were just small fights.
Although I had studied and been trained in the Thieves Guild, it was only a simple training every year. My abilities are all seen and heard at a glance, which is not easy.
Perhaps, after blocking the actions of the higher-ups today, the higher-ups will face up to the existence of people like him and their gang in Guifeng Town.
"It's time for us to take action."
He looked at the cronies around him and said.
We are all our own people, so looking at his expression, everyone understood what he was saying without saying anything.
When the thieves group has developed to this level, it really needs to do something big to really make a name for itself.
"Boss, if you tell us, we will do it. Everyone has complete trust in you."
Someone said so.
"Boss, brothers all support you. Issue the order. Act now to catch the people above you by surprise."
Others say so.
"Yes, boss, we have thwarted their work and put things in our hands. Not to mention how much we want from them, at least our name must be used during the negotiation. Boss, that name is still the one we discussed before. Are you coming?"
The boss of the thieves group nodded: "Just click on that, 'Shadow Monster Wing'. As soon as you say this name, you will know that it belongs to our Guifeng Town. It is very suitable. Then, brothers, get moving."
He clapped his hands, creating a fierce and tense atmosphere: "First of all, stop the carriage they prepared. Huh, the metal cage is not light when you think about it. Without the carriage, they can't transport the bird cage containing the valuable animals."
One of the men who was called on immediately responded and went down to summon people who could fight.
"Remember to destroy the carriage, bring an ax or hammer, just chop off the wheels."
"Okay boss."
Then he ordered others: "There are two people outside the town carrying horse supplies for evacuation. Find a way to stop them. Be smart and don't be seen through at once, but they run away on horseback."
"Yes, boss. I know what to do, just like I did with those horse traders last time."
"Yes, that's it. Reliable and easy-to-use methods should be used frequently. They are easy to use and have their own reasons."
After complimenting him, the leader of the thieves group continued to give instructions: "Others should also mobilize their manpower. The police station will send people to my door with my tokens and this amount of money, so that they can reduce their interference by ¥%¥%. Around. The streets are also blocked. Don't frighten the townspeople who don't want to do anything. This is our "Shadow Monster Wings" fame battle. We can quickly and efficiently deal with the people coming up and let them know that in Weird Wind Town, we say The final word!"
"oh!!!!"
"Excellent!!!"
"Boss is mighty!!"
Everyone cheered up and quickly dispersed to make arrangements.
The boss of the thieves group looked at his subordinates with joy. The newly established team was like this, enthusiastic and motivated. Unlike some old organizations, which were overstaffed and focused on maintaining the organization's profits, they had no ability to act and this Stock energy.

Knight Crow returned to the shooting room at the top of the arrow tower, first opened the net in his hand, and then covered it on the leaning magic ballista body.
He tied the lower end of the net tightly, and then fixed the thick rope to the net. He looked around at the other end, and finally found a solid rotating metal structure in the rotating structure on the ground, and passed the rope through it and fixed it here. .
The last step is to destroy the base connection of the ballista and the magic energy supply pipe.
Knight Crow observed the magic power supply pipe of the ballista and found that the magic power in the metal pipe that was still shining before had faded. He then relaxed and drew out his dagger and stabbed the metal magic pipe hard.
This is a magic energy supply pipe made of extremely soft metal. An ordinary person can deform it slightly by pinching it hard. After being refined and made into a pipe shell, it can be made to move in a small area without damaging the sealing of the pipe. internal activities.
The application is very wide.
Knight Crow has seen a lot of this kind of thing, most of which are used in large magic instruments, and what's inside is——
"The main stem of the climbing magic vine soaked in the diluted blood of the monster!"
He stabbed hard with his hand, and under the control of his huge strength, the steel dagger stabbed the magic energy supply pipe in two sections.
The broken crack immediately spurted out a pool of light red odorless liquid, and the stalks of the magic vine actively twitched left and right when exposed to the air. Even in this small and cramped metal pipe, this stalk is still living happily relying on magic power, and its life is particularly tenacious.
The area on the dagger blade that was stained with the light red odorless liquid soon became hot, and slight magic sparks spontaneously jumped upon contact with the air.
This is a very dangerous thing. Knight Crow immediately controlled the life energy and drove away the liquid magic power on the dagger. Then he pinched the two broken sections of the magic energy supply pipe with his left hand.
With two crunching sounds, the two metal fractures were pinched together tightly.
No more new diluted Warcraft blood will come out.
As for what had emerged, Knight Crow stretched out his hand and wiped away all the magic contained in the blood.
Life energy is a very exclusive kind of energy. Without the consent of its owner, it will not coexist with other energies at all. Once the two come into contact, they will be driven away by strong pressure and weak force.
After cutting off the connected magic energy supply pipe, there is still a base that supports the magic ballista.
This is a set of things connected together by a supporting body and two raised metal rods at the front and rear that control the pitch of the ballista. Knight Crow directly swung his sword to cut off the two thinner front and rear metal rods that lifted the ballista.
Two crisp sounds sounded. Even though it was made of steel, the dagger in Knight Crow's hand was covered with his own life energy. After colliding with the metal rod, not a single crack or curled blade appeared.
Here is a technology for using life energy.
However, this consumes the life energy attached to the weapon. Even if a beginner like Kiel learns it, he will not be able to use it a few times. Only knights like Knight Crow, who have already accumulated life energy in their bodies and have undergone changes in energy properties, can easily use it without worrying about the rapid consumption of life energy in the collision of weapons.
He then stood up, kept his body still, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath.
"Huh, woo——"
After exhaling in one breath, the khaki life energy filled the whole body, but did not penetrate the surface of the body.
If you observe Knight Crow at this time, you can see that his eyes and skin are slightly glowing with an earthy color, as if the inside of his body is not flesh and blood, but filled with earthy gems.
The power of the body has its own limits, so after knights have life energy, a convenient and flexible controllable energy in their bodies, they use it to enhance their power.
Knight Crow strode to the side of the ballista, opened his arms, and leaned over to hug the entire lower part of the ballista.
With a slight exertion of his body, the steering mechanism of the ballista under his feet made a creaking sound as the metal deformed. If there are people below, the sound will definitely be heard and they will come up to check.
It's a pity that the three people below have been knocked unconscious by now and can't do anything.
The arrow tower is very high, and the security post at the bottom cannot hear what happens at the top of the arrow tower.
Crunch, crunch, as Knight Crow carefully moved the bottom of the crossbow from left to right, the metal support connected to the bottom kept making strange noises, accompanied by small metal shards flying and hitting the surrounding light wood. , directly inlaid on it.
Knight Crow's legs were protected by life energy, and the flying metal shards only damaged his ankle shoes and leather pants a little, but did not injure him at all.
After carefully shaking it from side to side for a while, Knight Crow let go of his hand, bent down and touched the metal of the ballista's base with his fingertips.
Satisfied with the high temperature on the metal, he drew out his dagger and struck it hard on the left and right, then put the sword away and hugged the base of the ballista.
"Ha! Get up."
He used a little force to pull up the crossbow, and then rotated it left and right.
Crunch, crunch, jump!
The last bit of connecting metal was still deformed and torn off.
Knight Crow was overjoyed, and immediately took a steady step forward, then turned sideways and carefully placed the several-meter-long ballista diagonally on the ground.
Boom!
The magical ballista body, which weighed hundreds of kilograms and weighed nearly a ton, just fell to the ground.
"Huh, you're not hurt, are you?"
The knight was a little worried and carefully looked at the place where his palm was held. Fortunately, although the magic ballista seemed to be made of stone, it was actually very complicated inside. The three-dimensional magic array and magic structure were all safely wrapped. Inside a rock-like shell.
The stone shell on the surface of the ballista is not only the base material for laying out the external magic array, but also a protective part to protect the interior.

Kil reached out and grasped the wooden handle of his two-handed axe. He could feel the handle in his hand vibrating slightly.
Not only that, when he looked left and right, he could see a large stretch of giant vines on the roof not far away. Starting from the far end, the giant vines shrank and decayed, and wrinkles and wrinkles quickly appeared on the surface of the vines. Shrink, and then the outer layer of the vines on the surface will fester, and the vine juice inside will leak out from the cracks.
Having lost a lot of sap, the giant vines rotted and shriveled into old, woody vine branches.
The giant vine, which was originally as thick as an average person's waist, quickly dried up and was only as thick as Keir's wrist. Although it is still much thicker than all common vines, it is no longer so dense that it cannot be passed and moved.
Not only that, the countless spikes on the vines that were originally pointing upwards also broke off from the roots of the spikes due to the decay and deactivation of the vines, and fell to the roof of the building with a clanking sound.
The huge and colorful flowers, after closing up in fear, quickly lost water and turned into a roll of flower poles that rolled up spontaneously.
Kil curiously touched it with his hand. It was hard, and it would probably hurt if it hit someone.
The insects that could not come out were naturally trapped when the flowers withered and shrank, and could never come out again. It can only vibrate its body and wings and make a slight buzzing sound.
The roots of the giant vine spread into the water, and even if they were soaked in the water, they would still fester and decay.
The patio water where the vine roots were located was also dyed a turbid yellow color by the rotten roots, which looked a little disgusting.
When the giant vine that had lost its green color reached the area hit by Kiel's axe, the ax in Kiel's hand shook violently, and Kiel immediately pulled out the axe.
brush--
A green light strip slightly connected to the blue ax surface was finally brought out when the ax was pulled out.
Then these green light bands dispersed in the surrounding air. Keir took a sniff and found that the surrounding air became especially fresh and smelly.
So he sniffed it a few more times.
It smells like broken grass and smells like apples, but without the sweetness.
It's like the cold, clear water of a deep pool gently covering your face.
Very comfortable.
-
Keir looked at the large shrinkage and dry 'giant' vines extending from the patio, and the sap flowing from the vines everywhere on the roof.
He touched the sap and found that it was nothing. It was just like ordinary plant sap, slightly viscous, but smelled good.
He then struck the ax on the stem of another giant vine nearby, allowing it to absorb the life that destroyed the giant vine.
Then Kil drew out his dagger and cut off the giant dry vine branches one by one, two meters in length.
Because the dangerous spikes before had fallen off on their own initiative and fallen to the ground, so now you don't have to be careful to be hurt by the spikes when you come into contact with the place where the dense vines intertwine and extend.
Kil also took the time to pick up the spikes on the ground and looked at them thoughtfully, wondering what use these hard and sharp things could be used for.
Although he didn't understand it, he still collected the plant spikes that fell to the ground while carrying the cut dry vine branches. Use the skin of the giant vine that is still alive to cut off a piece of it and use it as a simple rope, tie it up and put it aside.
After the dry vine branches lost their water content, they became very light, far from looking as heavy as the giant python before.
Approaching the dry vines near the patio, Kil threw them directly into the water. These branches lost their moisture and shrank tightly. After falling into the water, they did not even float, but sank directly into the water in the patio.
As for the dry vines near the gap in the street, Kiel threw the garbage away from left and right, and soon made a 'pathway' extending from the patio to the top of the street.
It's just a little narrow.
The second giant vine that had been drained of its power completely dried up at this moment. The fallen Yueshui head knocked on the ground for a while and then 'bounced' back to Kil's hand.
He picked up the ax and inspected it, and found that the blue shimmer on the surface of the ax was particularly full, and the dryad on the surface looked even larger in size, and was particularly active.
Not seeing anything wrong, Kil felt relieved. He put away his dagger, then picked up an ax and quickly chopped up another giant dry vine and cleaned it up.
He put away the spikes that looked like they might be useful and put them on the side of the street, and later took them to the carriage to take away.
So, in a corner of an empty roof filled with turbid plant sap, Kil put his ax into the leather bag behind him, looked up at the top of the arrow tower, and waited for Knight Crow to appear.
He held the rope with the metal hook in his hand, ready for the next step.

"Be careful! The atmosphere around you is not right!"
Finley had a normal expression on his face and said words that frightened Porlaw beside him.
"Come out, what happened?"
Porlao lowered his head and stuttered slightly.
One hand was holding the reins tightly, and the other hand was covering the hand crossbow that Kil had borrowed from him at his waist. It seemed that he would take out this pocket hand crossbow at any time to protect himself.
At this time, Finley boldly looked back and forth, making eye contact with more and more people not far away who were staring at them.
Those people no longer pretended, their eyes were eager to try, but they were very cautious, lingering in the distance and not daring to come forward.
I don't know what I'm worried about, or I'm waiting for someone's order.
Suddenly, Finley's eyes narrowed and he noticed at the corner of the street behind him that someone carrying a heavy hammer that blacksmiths rarely used came to the middle of the people who were watching them.
As soon as this person arrived, the people following behind seemed to have a backbone. Some people puffed up their chests, some people pulled out two daggers from their waists, and gestured with them in a pretentious manner. Some people were holding ropes and looking like they were eating. Determine their appearance.
"Where are they all from?"
Although Finley didn't understand what these people were doing, they didn't look like the local security militia who knew about their actions and hindered them. But these people's malicious intentions and obstructive intentions are clear.
‘You have to grab the heavy hammer first, otherwise this little carriage will become loose after just a few hits. ’
He thought this and turned his head to look ahead.
Sure enough, there were more people in this direction. At the corner of the street in front, there were no ordinary pedestrians passing by, so there were a few more rickety figures carrying weapons.
What's even more hateful is that these people also pushed a few carts. Once they stopped at the intersection, they probably waited for a signal, then rushed out and dumped the carts on the street, making it impossible for the carriage to move.
One hundred percent trapped here.
Finley whispered something to Porlau who was extremely nervous next to him. Porlau sometimes nodded and sometimes shook his head. Finley finally made up his mind and made a plan.
Now, on this street where the carriages were parked, there were a wave of unidentified people staring at the two of them, and the means to stop them were well prepared.
The Kendal people sat in the carriage, waiting for a signal from the rooftop at any time.
The members of the "Shadow Monster Wings" thieves group in Strange Wind Town were holding weapons and tools, blocking both ends of the street, waiting for a signal before taking action.
The two parties were openly confronting each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
-
Venila and Cordoz rode their horses silently, and led several other horses carrying supplies on the open grassland outside the town.
The surrounding area was a mess trampled by humans, horses, and wheels. It was not a good place for locals to harvest green grass. Therefore, the locals who came out before had left the town in other directions and headed straight to Wei Feng Town. , but can quickly rush back at any time, where they are cutting large areas of lush green grass.
Venila and Cordoz glanced again at the exits of the streets between the buildings on the edge of the town, where they saw the people following them.
Then I saw a small team of no more than eleven people coming out of the town.
It was an empty carriage for pulling goods, and there were also two local prairie horses. On the carriage sat six local townspeople holding sickles in their hands, while on the horses next to them sat one person in front and one in front, with sharp sickles hanging from their waists.
After the group of people came out of the town, they seemed to have passed through this messy place trampled by people and horses, but the route actually overlapped with the route that Venilla and Cordoz were wandering here. .
The two guards looked at each other with squinted eyes, and Venila chuckled: "Do you think we are idiots?"
"I'm deliberately controlling the speed of the carriage just to make contact with the two of us." Cordoz took over and said.
Venilla and Cordoz seemed to have reached a consensus. They generously drew out their weapons and faced the visitor.
"My lord told us to guard the horses no matter what."
"Well, it seems we have to fight. It just so happens that fighting monsters has always been frustrating, and we don't have any room to exert ourselves."
"After all, we won't come back here again, right? Doesn't it matter if we do it harder?"
"Take it easy, we might have to go here on our way back."
"When the army is here, they won't think about asking for trouble, making things difficult for us and themselves, right?"
"Why do you have so many questions? Pull out your weapon and do it!"
Clang clang, the two men drew their weapons, throwing spears with their left hands and swords with their right hands. They first let go of the ropes of the horses behind them, and then the two of them went to the left and the right to kill the unknown person who was obviously coming towards them.
