Yi Tianchen focused his gaze and saw that the large gate was constructed from four thick wooden beams. Although it appeared somewhat crude, it still exuded an impressive aura.
Above the wooden door hung a long black plaque, on which three large characters were inscribed in a crooked manner, resembling the early writing skills of kindergarten children—Black Wind Stronghold!
It was even the abbreviated version!
In front of the gatehouse, two bandits dressed in gray, each shouldering a large knife, strolled leisurely back and forth while occasionally glancing around. Inside Black Wind Stronghold, groups of bandits clad in green roamed about, constantly surveying their surroundings for any signs of movement.
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan were both slightly taken aback; it seemed that the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold were quite professional!
"What should we do? There are quite a few of them; just the ones we can see already number over thirty!" After counting the numbers, Liu Yuhan turned to Yi Tianchen with a questioning look.
"There's no way we can confront them head-on!"
Yi Tianchen had also taken note of their numbers, scanning back and forth within Black Wind Stronghold. Suddenly, an idea struck him as he looked at the tall stacks of hay.
"Let's use fire!"
The two spoke those three words almost simultaneously.
Clearly, Liu Yuhan had also set her sights on the haystacks. Given that the buildings were all made of straw, if they caught fire, the entire stronghold would likely burn down. As long as they could ignite it successfully, taking down Black Wind Stronghold would be within reach.
Although the method was indeed rather ruthless!
"But where are we going to get a source of fire?" Liu Yuhan posed a question that troubled Yi Tianchen as well—one that was difficult to resolve but necessary to address.
After pondering for a moment, Yi Tianchen replied, "Since this is a bandit lair, there should be a way to find a source of fire."
Liu Yuhan nodded, tilting her head to look at Yi Tianchen. "So about the mission to get the fire source..."
"Uh... aren't you planning to come in with me?" Yi Tianchen was somewhat speechless and continued to argue, "Do you really think I can take down Black Wind Stronghold on my own?"
"Of course not!"
Liu Yuhan blinked her bright eyes and said with a serious expression, "You see, the terrain here is elevated, allowing me to clearly monitor the movements of the entire Black Wind Stronghold. So I must stay here to act as your remote locator!"
Yi Tianchen could only respond with silence.
With no other choice, Yi Tianchen carefully surveyed his surroundings before cautiously making his way down the slope, weaving through the bushes and thorns. The formidable Wild Fury served as his machete, perfectly illustrating its other indelible purpose.
A few minutes later, Yi Tianchen safely reached the basin and hid behind a large rock. Peeking out to observe quietly, he was taken aback to find that less than thirty yards ahead was the entrance to Black Wind Stronghold; he could even hear the conversation of two bandits---
"Tsk tsk... those three girls our brothers brought back this time are really something!"
"Right? Ever since I caught a glimpse yesterday, I couldn't sleep all night and had to take care of myself three times!"
"Dude! You think three times is something to brag about? I... oh man... just thinking about it makes me feel it... I can't take it anymore; I need to step away for a bit!"
"Pathetic! Just go; I've got this!"
"Yeah, yeah, no one should come looking for trouble, right?"
"Hah... who would dare cause trouble at my Black Wind Stronghold? That would be pure suicide!"
"Then I'm relieved!"
In the Southern Wilderness City, outside the Black Wind Stronghold, a strong wind rose, stirring up dust...
“Clang…”
Yi Tianchen dragged the Fury of the Wilderness behind him, his expression stern and his gaze unwavering, taking steady and solid steps. The smooth gravel ground echoed with the sound of metal scraping against stone, a clear provocation.
Ahead, the last remaining gatekeeper bandit’s eyes widened as he jumped out, brandishing his knife at Yi Tianchen and demanding, “Who dares to invade the Black Wind Stronghold? You truly don’t know your place! Hurry up and come to your death!”
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly, thinking to himself, “Hmm, not a bad opening line!”
“Swish…”
Without uttering a word, a fierce light flashed in Yi Tianchen's eyes. He instantly activated Savage Charge, transforming into a Phantom as he charged forward at high speed.
“Oh? You’re looking for…”
The bandit was taken aback, his words cut short as he fell into a three-second daze. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Yi Tianchen's mouth as a dark circle suddenly descended. The Fury of the Wilderness in his hand shimmered with golden patterns, accompanied by a howling sound as it came crashing down—
“Crack…”
Death Entanglement Lv-1! Blade Break Slash Lv-1!
-1139!
At this moment, there was only one bandit left, presenting a rare opportunity for Yi Tianchen. He had to end this quickly. Otherwise, if he alerted the other bandits and they all charged at once, even with three heads and six arms, it would be difficult for Yi Tianchen to withstand their onslaught!
"Chop, chop, chop..."
After a strike, Yi Tianchen pursued and swung three swords. One struck the chest, another landed on the neck, and the last pierced the lower abdomen. Of the three strikes, the System confirmed two as critical hits, causing the bandit's Health Points to plummet to 10%, entering the Red Health zone.
"Wow..."
Having shaken off the dizziness and enduring three more strikes, the bandit let out a scream that was more horrifying than a ghost's wail at midnight. The Steel Blade in his hand fell, slicing across Yi Tianchen's shoulder and leaving a fifteen-centimeter gash along his arm.
-886!
With that blow, Yi Tianchen gritted his teeth in pain and kicked the bandit in the lower abdomen. Following that, he leaped and gripped the Wild Fury, bringing it down in a dragging motion that sharply cut across the bandit's neck—another critical hit.
Critical Hit! -1566!
A massive damage number soared into view. The bandit wailed and glared at Yi Tianchen, but his body involuntarily leaned back before collapsing to the ground. He twitched for a few seconds before finally drawing his last breath.
"12 seconds 77!"
Yi Tianchen breathed a sigh of relief; these gray-clad bandits were indeed tougher than their ragged counterparts!
He collected the 15 Silver Coins dropped by the bandit and glanced around, finding no signs of disturbance. After giving Liu Yuhan a thumbs-up towards her hiding spot, Yi Tianchen hoisted Wild Fury and began to explore Black Wind Stronghold.
"Go straight ahead and circle left around the second haystack..."
Liu Yuhan's voice came through the team channel with instructions. Yi Tianchen smiled slightly; this positioning System was quite impressive!
Since there were also bandits patrolling continuously within Black Wind Stronghold, Liu Yuhan had a vantage point that allowed her to see everything happening inside. She could easily identify where bandits were patrolling and provide Yi Tianchen with the most accurate and timely information.
As Yi Tianchen listened to Liu Yuhan's directions, he skillfully navigated around the patrolling bandits, continuing his search. Unbeknownst to him, nearly five minutes had passed, yet he still had not caught sight of the so-called fire source.
Suddenly, Yi Tianchen noticed a faint glow emanating from a small wooden cabin ahead. A thought crossed his mind; it might be just what he needed. After quickly surveying the area to ensure it was safe, Yi Tianchen activated Savage Charge and swiftly reached the cabin's entrance.
He gently pushed the door and was surprised to find it unlocked. He hadn't expected that Black Wind Stronghold would be so careless!
As the wooden door creaked open, Yi Tianchen cautiously observed his surroundings. After confirming there were no unusual movements, he took a deep breath and burst through the door, pressing his back against it to secure it tightly shut.
However, the scene before him nearly made Yi Tianchen cry out in shock!
Before him were three or four large wooden chests lined up on a stone platform. Two of the chests were overflowing and lacked proper lids, revealing a dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry spilling out. The glow he had seen earlier was indeed emanating from these treasures.
In an instant, Yi Tianchen's heart raced to his throat. He struggled to suppress his excitement, taking deep breaths, but his gaze betrayed him as it sparkled with the glimmer of coins.
Yet...
He couldn't help but wonder if these bandit treasures could be taken by players.
