Chapter 405: Capture the Old Man! Sneaking Into the Bandit Camp

Chen Ming stood at the end of the cliff, looking down.

The clouds and mist blocked Chen Ming's sight, making him unable to see the situation at the bottom.

Of course, Chen Ming was just looking.

He didn't think about going down directly.

His life skill was alchemy, and mining was not his job. Even if he found rich blood gold deposits down there, he couldn't mine.

After watching for a while, Chen Ming silently marked this huge canyon on the map.

"It just so happens that Brother Gang is trying to recruit life players..."

"After he helps the Jiuchongtian Guild deal with the life players, we can find a way to dig the blood gold mine in this valley."

After Chen Ming silently retracted his gaze, he put his focus back on this mission.

Xiaolong had eaten all the belly meat of the huge corpse, and his small belly was bulging again, but this time Chen Ming didn't see the system prompt Xiaolong to gain experience points.

Come to think of it, if Xiaolong can level up just by eating, that would be a bit too outrageous.

That is, the spirit of the holy tree is special, which can allow Xiaolong to level up continuously.

"Okay, okay, if you eat more, your stomach will burst."

Chen Ming persuaded Xiaolong again and again, but Xiaolong did not respond and just buried his head in eating. Chen Ming had no choice but to lift him up by the back of his neck.

Xiaolong, who was held in Chen Ming's hand, was still very dissatisfied. He kicked his claws and legs in the air until Chen Ming gently tapped his head. He hummed a few times and finally calmed down.

Seeing this scene, the humility on the face of the skinny old man became even more intense.

Obviously, this Xiaolong is not only extremely powerful, but also listens to Chen Ming's discipline. Such a person... Even if he is given ten heads, he can't afford to offend him!

Soon, Xiaolong flapped his wings and rose again.

While Xiaolong was looking for the target, Xiaopang finally came over and joined Chen Ming and others.

But before Xiaopang could catch his breath, Xiaolong had already found the target.

Under Xiaolong's guidance, everyone came to a hilltop. Standing on it and looking down, they immediately saw a village-like building on an endless mountain range.

Chen Ming's eyes showed joy.

"This is a bandit camp."

"It's very close to the post road we planned."

"It's the kind that must be cleared."

The queen suddenly pulled out her dagger.

At the same time, she summoned Erha.

She looked like she was about to rush up and take action.

Even Chen Ming was ready to pinch the belly of the cow and horse to let it rush towards the village.

Obviously, the two planned to rush into the village and kill them.

After all, they were all top-ranked thieves in the world, and it was easy to deal with these little bandits.

But the old man stopped them in time.

"Lord, wait a minute!"

"Listen to what I have to say..."

"Look over here, do you see a very tall wooden stake?"

"This is the signal tower that the bandits usually use."

"Once you force your way in, they will light the signal tower to let the brothers on other hills find out something is wrong."

"At that time, you may be able to easily wipe out the bandit camp at the moment, but the subsequent camps will be on high alert, greatly increasing the difficulty for you to wipe them out."

Chen Ming glanced at the old man with some surprise.

This guy, how come he seems to know a little bit about everything?

It seems that his self-righteousness is more or less supported by some real materials.

However, Chen Ming did not show his surprise on his face, but just nodded indifferently, creating a sense of distance from the skinny old man.

To deal with such a person, you can't treat him well.

Sure enough, the skinny old man was very fond of this. After finding that his show-off as if seeking credit had no effect, his mind, which had just been a little active, calmed down again. He bent down a little deeper, appearing more respectful and humble, and then continued.

"Lord, please see... the mountain stronghold built by the bandits is a slope facing the cliff in the south, and there is a huge underground lake under this mountain."

"Such a slope terrain, coupled with a huge terrain lake, will inevitably cause the bandits to be damp on the south side, and most of them are wooden structures, so when building houses, they will inevitably avoid the doors and windows facing the south."

"Naturally, their communities will be arranged vertically in this way..."

"And according to the terrain of that mountain, the layout of the bandits' camp should be like this..."

As he said, the old man drew on the map again.

Although Chen Ming still looked calm, he was quite surprised in his heart.

This old man... is really good.

In just a few words, he roughly guessed the situation in the bandit camp based on his familiarity with the terrain.

This information was very important to Chen Ming, who planned to sneak into the camp and kill all the bandits.

Soon, the old man explained everything he knew.

After Chen Ming finished listening, he actually had a feeling of knowing the bandit camp that he had only seen from a distance.

A sneak route was also quietly planned in his mind.

"Well, you are quite capable."

Chen Ming finally gave the old man a little good face.

The old man was not happy, but quietly relieved.

Obviously, he had been caught by Chen Ming.

After getting this information, Chen Ming no longer hesitated.

"Let's go."

With an order.

Chen Ming took Su Su and the Queen and quietly went to the camp.

Because it was a sneak attack, Chen Ming did not summon cattle and horses, nor did he bring Xiao Pang with him. Even Xiao Long was just let fly high in the sky to act as an eyeliner for Chen Ming in the sky, trying not to get involved in the battle.

After walking through the dense plants in the mountains and forests for a while, Chen Ming and the Queen finally found the bottom of the camp.

Just as the old man guessed.

Because the ground of the camp here is wet, the architectural style is like a high-legged hanging building. Each house is supported by a foundation half a meter away from the ground.

Therefore, the half-meter high gap became an excellent cover for the queen and Chen Ming to walk through.

Both of them turned on the stealth mode.

Quietly touched the mountain village.

They crawled under the foundation of the stilt house closest to them as cover.

They crept quietly.

Because they were too short, they could only crawl on the ground. Chen Ming crawled a few steps and felt a little uncomfortable, but when he looked up, the queen's big butt shaking in front of him seemed to have a strong sense of rhythm.

It can be seen that she is very skilled.

This surprised Chen Ming a little.

After all, in his opinion, the queen was the kind of person who would be possessed by a reckless man and say something cruel like "as long as you kill them all, it's not stealth."

"It seems that I still underestimated the number of times the queen has been sneaking..."

"Tsk tsk..."

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, Su Su on Chen Ming's shoulder coughed twice, "Sir, please look at the road, we are all going to crawl outside the bunker... Please don't look at those weird places anymore!"

Su Su's tone was rarely filled with a bit of anger and complaint.

But Chen Ming didn't dare to talk back.

He just silently retracted his gaze from the queen's swaying peach petals.

Ahem...

It's human nature.

They were about to finish the first stilt house.

Suddenly.

Footsteps came from far away.

Two bandits who were chatting were slowly walking towards them.

If they were just normal bandits, Chen Ming, who had seen a lot of storms, would definitely not be shaken.

But...

The two bandits had a lantern made of some unknown beast skin hanging around their waists, which was emitting a faint blue light. The light was not strong, and it was even unnoticeable if you didn't pay attention.

Hanging a lantern with a weak flame in broad daylight.

It was weird no matter how you looked at it.

But Chen Ming's eyes fixed.

"Not good!"

"Queen, come back soon!"

He lowered his voice, but shouted anxiously.

What a pity.

He was one step late after all.

After the two approached.

The faint blue light from the animal skin lanterns on their waists suddenly flashed!

Immediately afterwards.

The queen, who was originally hidden in the shadows, was illuminated by the blue light.

A clear outline suddenly emerged out of thin air!
