Chapter 169: Night Watch and Catch Thieves

After arranging the task of catching [mutated fish], Yang Yi patrolled near the Dead Water Oasis.

This time, Yang Yi came here because he received a letter saying that there were adventurers making trouble. As a result, he did not find any suspicious adventurers after a round.

According to the old blind eye, those adventurers chose to approach the fishman village under construction at night, so Yang Yi planned to keep watch tonight to see what tricks those adventurers would play.

It was almost evening when Yang Yi rode the kodo beast to transport goods. At this time, the sky gradually darkened.

At night, Yang Yi asked Blake to rest, and he personally led the team to guard the lake.

The night was long, and keeping watch was a matter of patience.

At present, there were not many places that needed to be patrolled. In addition to the two walls, there were warehouses, hotels and some fishman huts inside the walls.

After Yang Yi patrolled a circle with the fishmen who were on night watch, he returned to the lake.

Bored, Yang Yi took out the fishing rod and started fishing.

Yang Yi now has a level 3 fishing skill. Fishing in this lake, occasionally you can catch [mutated fish], which is also a reward.

Fishing is a good way to kill time. Yang Yi didn't know how long he had been fishing, but he knew that the water grass basket used to hold fish had been filled with half a basket of [mutated fish].

At this time, a patrolling fishman came to report that the fishman found someone moving across the lake.

Yang Yi was concentrating on fishing and didn't notice it. When he looked, he found that there were indeed two figures moving in the Tauren Village on the opposite bank of the lake.

"Who ran to the lake so late? Could it be adventurers who came to cause trouble?"

Yang Yi used the Eagle Eye Technique to look over and found that it was not an adventurer, because it was the figure of two tauren.

"Two suspicious tauren, a team of murlocs come with me to take a look over there, and the rest stay here."

A team is 10 murlocs. Yang Yi put away the fishing rod and led these murlocs to the direction of the two tauren.

When he walked in, one of them turned out to be the tauren Jerick Gaoshan.

Although Yang Yi didn't know what the minotaur was doing at the lakeside at night, he felt relieved knowing that it was the minotaur Gaoshan. He walked over to greet the minotaur.

"It's Poseidon. Long time no see." The minotaur Gaoshan found that it was Yang Yi and greeted him happily.

"Jerrick, it's dark, what are you doing?" Yang Yi asked.

"Poseidon, let me introduce you first, this is Mur Leijiao." Gaoshan gave up his seat, and next to him was a minotaur wearing a robe and holding a totem.

Then Gaoshan introduced the minotaur next to him: "This is the fishman Poseidon I mentioned."

"Hello Mur, nice to meet you." Yang Yi greeted enthusiastically.

"Oh, a fishman."

Mur's tone was cold. It seemed that he, like most minotaurs, didn't like to interact with fishmen.

Seeing this, the tauren Gaoshan came out to smooth things over: "Mu'er is a master of making purification totems. I specially invited him from Mulgore, hoping that he can help purify this lake."

"Jerrick, are you going to purify the lake now?" Yang Yi ignored Mu'er and asked the tauren Gaoshan directly.

The tauren Gaoshan nodded: "Yes, the ceremony of purifying the lake takes some time. Most of those irritable snap-jawed turtles go to sleep at night. Purifying the totem at this time will cause less harm to these poor snap-jawed turtles."

Yang Yi knew that the tauren Gaoshan was too kind. If he came during the day, the snap-jawed turtles would be disturbed. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the purification ceremony, those snap-jawed turtles must be killed. Originally, with the strength of the tauren, the lake could be purified during the day, but in order to protect these snap-jawed turtles, the tauren chose to do it in the middle of the night.

"How long will the purification ceremony take?" Yang Yi asked.

"This purification ceremony needs to be carried out for three consecutive nights, each time before dawn." The tauren Gaoshan answered.

"Three nights doesn't sound easy. How about this, after the purification ceremony begins, I'll send a few murlocs to help you guard." Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi wanted to help because of the Tauren's high mountain, but the Tauren Murr didn't appreciate it: "Let the murlocs help guard? I think we shouldn't, we can complete the purification ceremony this way."

"Okay, in that case, let's go. Jerrick, see you next time." Yang Yi suppressed his anger. He didn't like to be cold-shouldered, so he simply took the murlocs away.

Yang Yi's encounter with Jerrick and the others when he was on guard was not pleasant, but it was just a small episode. Yang Yi's purpose of keeping watch was to guard the adventurers, and he quickly returned to the lakeside on the side of the murloc village.

He kept watch until late at night, and besides the murlocs, there were only two murlocs performing the purification ceremony by the lakeside.

Yang Yi, holding the fishing rod, had already been yawning. At this time, a vague figure slowly appeared beside him. This was Swat, the captain of the fishman ambushers in Ratchet Town.

At present, there are less than 10 fishman ambushers in Ratchet Town, so there is only a 10-man team. Swat, the leader of the fishman ambushers in Ratchet Town, can only be a captain temporarily.

"Three alien humans." Swat pointed to the distance and reported to Yang Yi in the shortest way. It was not that he spoke fluently, but that he was always taciturn.

Yang Yi looked over where Swat pointed. There was no figure over there. It was not until he used the Eagle Eye technique that he found that there were three figures lying on the ground and crawling forward.

"Ha, these people are well-trained."

Yang Yi laughed, he stopped the Eagle Eye technique and retracted his vision.

"Swat, can you get close to those three alien humans?" Yang Yi asked. He hoped to capture the three adventurers alive so that he could have the opportunity to ask them about their purpose here.

Swart shook his head.

When Yang Yi came to the Backwater Oasis, he asked the old blind man. The old blind man said that the fishman ambushers in Ratchet Town were discovered by these adventurers before they even got close. It was obvious that they came prepared. Yang Yi estimated that they were probably Drinking a potion that detects invisibility.

"Potions for detecting invisibility are not cheap, and they don't last very long. For example, the level 4 alchemy product [Detection of Secondary Invisibility Potion] can only last for 10 minutes at a time. It seems that these guys have spent a lot of money." Yang Yi asked again: "Do these three alien humans still know that they have been discovered?"

Swart nodded firmly this time.

"Swat, you did a good job. Now go ahead. All the murloc ambushers gathered together and went with my lord to capture these three sneaky thieves alive. If you dare to come to my lord's territory to steal chickens and dogs, you will be killed. I'm impatient."

Swart quickly gathered all the murloc ambushers in the backwater oasis. Yang Yi also used the [Stealth] skill, and then took the murloc ambushers and sneaked over like three adventurers.

Scatter, surround!

The three adventurers were still crawling on the ground, looking for their target. Unknown to them, they had been surrounded by fish-men ambushers.

"Chicken, I've been looking for it a few times. Where do you think the damn exploration equipment was lost?" A fat man asked impatiently.

"Pi Zai, ask me, who the hell am I going to ask? I was so embarrassed that I lay on the ground and chewed several kilograms of mud tonight, and I didn't even see a ghost." A short man is even less likely. Answered patiently.

"Chicken, Pi Tsai, how many times have I told you, don't use bad words at all times. Although we are a gangster, we must be a polite gangster." A long-haired man lying in the front reminded.

The long-haired man wore a white shirt under the armor on his upper body. Even though he crawled on the mud for a long time, his flowing long hair was not messed up at all, and the collar of his white shirt was protected so that not a single speck of mud got on it. superior.

This persistence and perseverance are really touching.

"Pay attention to your surroundings. There are stalkers among the fishmen. Be careful if they come over again." The long-haired man reminded.

"Brother Nan, don't worry. This time we are all lying on the ground. Those fishmen will know that they are stupid and barking and barking, and they can't find us. Besides, even if they are discovered, they will run away at worst." The short man said with a smile.

"Then run away!" the long-haired man said in a low voice.

"What?" the short man asked.

"I fucking told you to run away!" The long-haired man yelled angrily, stood up, and ran away.

"The wind is tight!" The fat man next to him understood, and quickly climbed up and followed the long-haired man, as nimble as a monkey.

The remaining short man took a closer look and saw the figure of a fish-man not far away slowly appeared. He trembled in fright and quickly turned over.

"Murloc! There, there is a murloc!" The short man shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran.

Hearing the shout from the short man who was a little slow to respond, the two people who had already run away were filled with contempt.

"Keep them!" Yang Yi shouted when he saw that the three men had discovered the sneaking fish-men and started to run away.

The fish-man ambushers were well prepared. Several fish-man ambushers appeared and surrounded the three adventurers. Only then did the three realize that they had been surrounded.

"Invisible!" the long-haired man shouted. He took out a dwarf invisibility device from his arms and quickly pressed the start button.

The dwarf's invisibility device was activated, and the long-haired man's body slowly blurred, and then disappeared in front of the surrounding fishmen.

When the short man and the fat man heard the shouting, they also took out the same dwarf invisibility device, and their bodies disappeared one after another.

"I'll take it easy. I have a cloaking device and I'm fully prepared. It's a pity that I met my lord tonight."

Yang Yi raised his hand, and a bright missile was launched to illuminate the area where the three of them were, and the three of them were immediately revealed.

This is the hunter's [Flare] skill. Flares can illuminate invisible and sneaking targets. Yang Yi has always used them as signal flares before.

"Catch them!" Yang Yi shouted.

The three of them were very experienced. After activating the dwarf cloaking device, they immediately took advantage of the invisible state and quickly turned their direction towards the gap surrounded by fishmen.

The dwarf's cloaking device was only effective for ten seconds. This time was enough for them to escape from the murlocs, but unfortunately they were immediately exposed by the flare.

When the opponent's figure was illuminated by the flare, the fish-man ambusher realized that the target was no longer directly in front of him.

"Drink the potion of swiftness!" The long-haired man shouted again, drank a green potion bottle.

After drinking this bottle of green potion, the long-haired man immediately felt wind at his feet and his running speed greatly increased.

The other two immediately drank their respective green potions, ran very fast one by one, and got out before the murloc net closed.

"Your sister! There's also [Swift Potion]! Where can the rich man run away!" Yang Yi saw the three of them running away. He waved his hands and threw out a fish-man net.

The effective range of [Murloc Throwing Net] is 35 yards, and the longest range is 70 yards.

The distance of 35 yards is probably less than 20 meters. The two people with quick reactions have already run far away. Yang Yi can only use the [Murloc Net] skill towards the nearest short person.

The short guy was unlucky. He was almost 40 meters away and was caught by the fishman's net.

"Ah! Brothers, I'm trapped by the fishmen, you... run..."

The short man called out touchingly, but the two in front pretended not to hear it at all. They ran away without looking back while the acceleration effect was still on.

The fishmen ambushers rushed forward, and each fishman held two dark daggers to surround the trapped short man.

"Don't kill him, save his breath." Yang Yi was afraid that these fishmen would be bloodthirsty and stab the people he had finally captured into a hornet's nest.

Yang Yi approached and found that the trapped person had thrown his weapon on the ground, and seemed to have given up resistance and was going to surrender.

More importantly, Yang Yi found that the trapped person looked a little familiar.

"It's not that easy to capture me alive." The short man spoke before Yang Yi questioned him. While speaking, the trapped short man took out a bottle of potion from somewhere and drank it.

"Twenty years later, he's a hero again. Hahaha, ah, so painful, ah ah..."

The short man fell to the ground and died. He drank the poison used for suicide.

"Fuck you, everyone has run away. Only the fishman is left here. Who is this performance for? Isn't death just resurrection? What nonsense is twenty years later?" Yang Yi was speechless.

"Dead..." Swat was very uneasy. He didn't complete the task of capturing alive as Yang Yi said.

"It doesn't matter. You performed very well. This kid died. If you want to commit suicide, just stab yourself with a knife. Why drink the potion? Isn't it a waste?"

Although he didn't ask the purpose of the three people coming here, Yang Yi didn't actually gain nothing.

Because the short man who died of suicide made Yang Yi feel very familiar, and with the long-haired man who escaped, Yang Yi could already be sure that these three people were from Qin Kunhui.

The long-haired man, Yang Yi secretly called him the first sissy of Qin Kunhui. He remembered that this person should be following Lu Xiaoming to make a living.

The reason why Yang Yi only remembered this long-haired man was because he had thick eyebrows and big eyes that were too eye-catching. Of course, Yang Yi would not admit that this was out of jealousy of the other person's appearance.

"At least there are some clues. It's Lu Xiaoming who is behind it again. I should have thought that this Dead Water Oasis was originally the territory of the Kokar Centaurs. Lu Xiaoming had a relationship with these Centaurs. He was very likely involved in the adventurers sneaking in in the dark."

"What is Lu Xiaoming going to do? Seeing that they have to spend a lot of money and drink alchemy potions to sneak in again and again, it seems that something important is going on."

Yang Yi thought about it. This Dead Water Oasis had been burned to ashes by the successive fires. The Thorny Fishmen had also been stationed and built here for so long. If there was anything hidden, it should have been discovered long ago.

"If you want to know the truth, the easiest way is to ask Lu Xiaoming and the people around him. But recently this guy has disappeared again, and I don't know where he went to fool around."

Yang Yi planned to get information from Lu Xiaoming and his men, but he didn't know where Lu Xiaoming and his group were, and it was obviously not the right time at night.

So Yang Yi had to continue to keep watch with the fishmen to prevent adventurers from sneaking in again. .
