Chapter 21: Gale Stockade
Pfft!
As blood splattered, a green lizard exploded in Xiao Shi's hand.
A wine pot fell out.
Xiao Shi reached out to catch it, pulled open the cork, and sniffed it. His eyes lit up. What he wanted was this kind of wine!
Among the wines that fell out today, there was a wine that could make people easily drunk. As long as one drank a little more of this wine, they would get drunk. Regardless of his cultivation level or alcohol tolerance, as long as he drank a certain amount, he would definitely faint.
Next, Xiao Shi planned to use this wine to get the people of the Gale Stockade drunk. As long as everyone in the Gale Stockade was drunk, it would be easy for him to go in and save the person.
The only worry was that there wasn't enough wine.
According to the distribution of Gale Stockade, he did not have to get everyone drunk. He just had to get the bandits inside drunk. However, he also needed a lot of wine.
With Xiao Shi's current quantity, it was still not enough.
However, he still had many insects and birds here. If it was not enough, he could continue to hire people to collect them.
Ordinary insects, birds, and beasts were quite common. It was not difficult to get it. It was just that it would take some time to kill more.
As he continued to kill, more and more items dropped, and the number of wines kept increasing.
After two days of killing, not only did he successfully accumulate enough wine, but he also obtained other gains.
[Name: Black Gold Sword]
[Type: Weapon]
[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]
[Introduction: A sword forged from black gold. Sharpness is its characteristic.]
[Remarks: A standard weapon for Martial Entry-Level martial artists.]
...
Xiao Shi looked at the golden sword in his hand.
He finally has a Martial Entry-Level weapon. Although there were Martial Entry-Level weapons in the Night Patrol Division, they could only be exchanged with contribution points and were very expensive.
After Xiao Shi saw it, he could not bear to exchange it. After all, he did not have many contribution points. It was better to wait for the loot.
From the looks of it, his decision was very wise. But he also noticed that the chances of ordinary creatures dropping Martial Entry-Level items were getting lower and lower.
He still remembered the last time he killed an ordinary creature and dropped a Martial Entry-Level item was when he killed the Piebald Worms in the sect. At that time, he killed thousands of Piebald Worms in a row before finally dropping a Martial Entry-Level storage bag.
This time, he killed tens of thousands of insects and birds before dropping a Martial Entry-Level item.
According to this pattern, the next time an ordinary creature dropped a Martial Entry-Level item, he might need to kill hundreds of thousands of them.
This also made him realize that the efficiency of obtaining Martial Entry-Level items by killing ordinary creatures was very low. It was far better to directly kill a Martial Entry-Level martial artist.
...
"Sir, are these wines of yours… really useful?"
When Xiao Shi handed the wine to Yin She, Yin She could not help but ask.
The chief of the Gale Stockade was full of praise for this wine after tasting the pot of wine he brought back last time and when heard that he could get more, he kept rubbing his hands excitedly. At the same time, he agreed with his idea of holding a banquet.
However, he still did not understand Xiao Shi's intentions. After all, after the chief drank that pot of wine, other than feeling that it was delicious, there was nothing else abnormal.
"Just do as I say."
Xiao Shi did not explain. The reason why he only gave Yin She a pot of wine was mainly because he considered that drinking too much of this wine would make him drunk.
However, even if the chief was drunk, he would only be intoxicated by the taste of this fine wine and would not care about the problem of being drunk. However, for the sake of stability, Xiao Shi had only given him a small portion.
"Then when the time comes, do I… have to drink too?"
Yin She felt that there was something wrong with the wine. He was worried that something would happen to him if he drank it.
"Don't worry, this wine is harmless," Xiao Shi said. He knew that only this kind of wine that was natural could be effective. If he poisoned the wine or something, it would cause the other party to be wary and it would be difficult for it to work.
Yin She took all the wine away.
Xiao Shi also began to prepare.
Glazed Moon Mountain was located seventy miles north of Golden Cloud City. The entire Glazed Moon Mountain was huge. From afar, it looked like a crescent moon. This kind of mountain was very rare.
From the foot of the Glazed Moon Mountain to the top, there were many bandit strongholds of various sizes. The Gale Stockade was located halfway up the Glazed Moon Mountain. When Xiao Shi arrived near the Glazed Moon Mountain, it was already evening.
He began to wait at the foot of the Glazed Moon Mountain.
The banquet would be held at night. The reason why he asked Yin She to schedule it at night was because as a night patroller, he was at his strongest at night! According to his plan, as long as he succeeded, he could save the hostage without fighting.
At night, his various abilities would be maximized. Even if an accident happened, he could deal with it in his best state.
"If I can successfully get the bandits inside drunk, I can kill them all along the way."
A cold light flashed in Xiao Shi's eyes. Anticipation rose in his heart. This kind of opportunity to kill many Martial Entry-Level martial artists at once was rare. Once he succeeded, he would be able to obtain many Martial Entry-Level items.
He would not have any psychological burden killing these evil bandits.
However, after careful consideration, Xiao Shi felt that he had to save the hostage first before killing them.
If he killed someone first, once someone from another stronghold came over while he was killing, or if something else alarmed them, he would be forced to run and have no chance to save anyone.
In the end, saving people was the most important thing in this operation.
"I can rescue her first and place her in a relatively safe place before turning around to kill them. That way, even if I cause a commotion when I kill them, I can escape without any worries."
Xiao Shi had a complete plan in his heart.
As the sun set, the moonlight rose. As night fell, Xiao Shi could clearly feel his body becoming active. There were improvements in all aspects. He was not in a hurry to take action. He silently calculated the time.
It was late at night.
"It's about time!"
Xiao Shi moved. He turned into a black shadow and began to climb the mountain.
He had the map of the terrain of the entire Glazed Moon Mountain in his hand, and he clearly knew the exact location of each stronghold. As he advanced, he nimbly bypassed these strongholds without attracting any attention.
From the foot of the mountain to the waist of the mountain, although there were many strongholds and some bandits patrolling the mountain, Xiao Shi nimbly dodged them all.
In the dark night, not only had his speed and agility improved, but his vision, hearing, smell, and other aspects had also been enhanced.
It could be said that his eyesight at night was even better than his eyesight during the day. He could see further and clearer.
The enhancement of his five senses allowed him to quickly detect the slightest movement in the surroundings. He easily walked from the foot of the mountain to the waist of the mountain.
At this moment, there was a stronghold surrounded by a tall wooden fence in front of him.
He had arrived at Gale Stockade!
