Chapter 71 Frog Nest Turtle General
The soldiers besieging the fort did have some effect.
The scouts who were sent out locked onto the two Wu forts that night.
The Zhaojiabao was surprisingly calm. Not only did they not send anyone to inform the police at night, but the fort owner Zhao Gong also ran to the county office early in the morning to prove his innocence.
"Supervisor Qu, those Wu forts are indeed not clean. Should we continue to besiege the forts to scare the bandits?"
"No, they were not mentally prepared before, so they were inevitably panicked and chaotic.
I guess they have reacted now, so it will be difficult to scare them again."
Making friends with bandits is not the exclusive right of the Chongyu Zhao family. In fact, many Wu forts have connections with bandits.
It's just that some are less involved and only do some business of selling stolen goods; some are more involved and not only provide intelligence, but also arrange for young and strong people in the fort to join.
These days, the tyrants who build forts by the sea cannot be as clean as water. They all have some gray industries to a greater or lesser extent.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan's unconventional siege action is indeed effective, but it can only catch the enemy by surprise and cannot be used multiple times.
"What a pity. I wonder why Chongyu Camp cannot eradicate bandits. It turns out that they are the local snakes, and Chongyu Camp soldiers are outsiders.
Order, besiege the abnormal fort. We will first startle the snakes and let them know that anyone who shows up will be surrounded and suppressed."
The psychological pressure caused by siege and suppression is still different. Authority cannot be established without iron and blood.
Zhou Yuan, an outsider, does not care whether there is evidence or not. As long as he finds something abnormal, he dares to surround and then interrogate.
"Yes."
Led by the scouts, 500 camp soldiers quickly returned and surrounded a Wu Fort with abnormalities.
This time, the soldiers in the camp were all wearing armor and shining their swords. It was obvious that they were going to do it for real.
The owner of Wu Fort was guilty and wanted to resist. Zhou Yuan shot his arm with an arrow and fainted from the pain.
After the Shesheng Battalion fired two more rounds of arrows, the panicked servants, fearing that they would be implicated, teamed up to open the gate of the Wu Fortress.
The same happened to the second Wu Fortress. The servants in the fortress did not have the courage to fight with the officers and soldiers. When Zhou Yuan shot through the gate with a blood arrow, they gave up resistance.
The subsequent interrogation also went very smoothly. The two families explained the sale of stolen goods and resale of food and grass, as well as which bandits they were connected with.
Zhou Yuan then transferred the soldiers of the battalion to patrol the coastal area, pretending that the matter of arresting bandits was over and stopped exerting pressure.
During this period, he learned swimming and diving under the guidance of the sailors.
After the ability of swimming and diving became a skill, he used the accumulated experience to upgrade it to the maximum level.
[Skill: Wading]
[Introduction: The water of Canglang can wash my hair; the water of Canglang can wash my feet, and playing in the water is like wading in the shallows]
[Effect: Increase the swimming speed and lurking time in the water. After reaching the maximum level, the "water breath" state is activated, and the spiritual energy can be consumed to breathe underwater. ]
Zhao Gong didn't know that Zhou Qudu from the county government had been watching him to death.
But he still chose to travel during the day and escort normal goods, making a full-scale sales posture.
But as soon as he moved, the mark of the ghost spell moved, which attracted Zhou Yuan's attention.
Because Zhou Yuan chose to track alone and didn't get close, he only relied on the direction of the ghost spell to track from a distance.
Therefore, Zhao Gong delivered the goods normally and tried back and forth several times, but did not find any abnormalities.
When he thought the crisis was resolved, he replaced the clerk with the serial dock bandits during one delivery.
This time their movement direction was exactly the same as the previous times, but after the boat entered the waterway, it stopped in an area.
Zhou Yuan came to the riverside, put on the "Skin of the God of the House" which could restore health and mana and had the property of divine clothing without leakage, and turned into a kind-looking old man.
Then he found a fishing boat to rent along the waterside, rowed into the waterway, adjusted the distance, and began to wait patiently.
When night came, he felt that a marked target was descending rapidly, so he abandoned the boat and dived into the water.
Not long after, he saw a very conspicuous blue-black vortex under several ropes tightly straightened by the anchor.
[Copy: Frogman's Nest]
[Recommended challenge level 10, recommended challenge number 10~20]
He dived into the water grass and gradually approached, and found that only ten serial dock bandits came down from the boat.
"The limit of the number of people in the Frog Soldier Secret Realm is 20, but they only sent 10 people.
Do they think that they don't need so many people, or that there are 10 people stationed in the Frog Soldier Secret Realm for a long time."
"Also, the name of this secret realm doesn't match.
Looking at the name, it should be frog soldiers, how can it be related to Quhe Guishou."
Although Zhou Yuan was confused, he still marked the 10 serial bandits with ghost spells.
The serial bandits left within a quarter of an hour after entering the dungeon, and then new people entered and took turns to fight.
After several waves of changes, the serial bandits gradually became overwhelmed and stopped the rhythm of the attack.
"The time for stopping the ship today is long enough, let's leave first, and we will change ships and fight again tomorrow."
As the merchant ship raised anchor and left, Zhou Yuan quickly approached the frog soldier dungeon.
The next moment, the world changed, and he entered a special area with potholes, puddles and silt beaches from the river full of flowing water.
There are nine humanoid turtle soldiers wearing turtle shells, and a larger alligator turtle soldier.
One of them has no health bar, and three of them have suffered a lot of damage.
[Level 15 Shoufu Turtle Soldier], [Level 20 Shoufu Turtle General]
In addition, there is a throne piled with jewels on the silt beach not far away, but the Shoufu Turtle General did not sit on it, but patrolled back and forth.
"As for the frog soldiers, there are no frog soldiers in the frog soldier's nest, but there are ten turtles. This is nothing.
Wait, there are ten serial dock bandits coming in at a time, and there are also ten turtle soldiers here. Together, they are exactly the upper limit of the number of frog soldiers in the copy. "
"I seem to have discovered something extraordinary. Could it be that Guhe Shou killed the frog soldiers and used them to fish for people?"
Zhou Yuan knew that if his guess was correct, the problem would be serious.
That would mean that water monsters rely on environmental advantages to form their own hunting rhythm.
They deliberately create adventures, using the rare treasures and a small number of monsters right in front of them to lure those who enter the secret realm to continue exploring.
In this way, the lucky ones with family help are the source of blood food for them to enlighten their souls.
A lone ranger without family support would probably be unable to leave after coming here twice.
They are not afraid even if they are discovered by the imperial court. It is impossible for the local garrison to sneak into the water to encircle and suppress them.
It is not difficult to verify this conjecture. You only need to clear out the turtle soldiers here and see if frog soldiers will spawn later.
Zhou Yuan didn't know that when he was observing the turtle soldiers, two [Level 15 Shoufu turtle soldiers] were also thinking secretly.
"What's going on? Don't those water bandits know that our patrol route will change?
If anyone is left in the secret realm, they will be besieged by us soon. "
"Could it be that a lucky old man accidentally entered our fishing ground? Let's kill him.
Those water bandits are the real bosses, and we can't let this old man mess up the situation. "
