Chapter 130: Bloodthirsty Night
Right at this moment, Li Wei suddenly sensed that the raven skull in his bosom was vibrating somewhat violently. It seemed that the black-robed Witch was using some secret method to issue orders or transmit news to the giant raven high in the sky!
In this instant, Li Wei immediately recalled the scene when this black-robed Witch robbed the prison wagon.
The giant raven delivered a message, and upon receiving it, the robbers went to rob the prison wagon. As for herself, she attempted a flanking attack. Anyway, it was the routine of 'artillery bombards then infantry charges, infantry charges then artillery bombards'.
This black-robed Witch acted as both a scout and the main force, but she could never seem to hit the right rhythm.
Did this mean that there was a gang of robbers hiding in the Forest east of the Creek?
She was ordering the giant raven to transmit a message, wanting to intercept and kill their group of five outside the Camp.
Or take the opportunity to attack the city?
At this moment, many thoughts flashed rapidly through Li Wei's mind, but on the surface, he acted as if nothing had happened. Subconsciously, however, with a clench of his teeth, he had already made a decision: if they didn't completely blow apart this Witch opposite them, this city defense battle would definitely be hard to fight.
But they had barely walked forward less than a hundred meters before the urgent sound of ringing metal suddenly sounded from the Camp behind them!
There was an emergency!Following closely, over a dozen torches appeared in the Forest on the east bank of the Creek, accompanied by clamoring noises—exactly as Li Wei had expected.
"Brother, we must rush back to reinforce them immediately!"
"Lord, robbers are attacking the city! We must prioritize defending the city!"
"George, if we don't retreat now, our path of retreat will be cut off!"
Leon, Clyde, and Old John all spoke up at the same time. They were all surprised, but not overly surprised, because after all, they had all been to the Chaotic Killing Battlefield and made it back alive. How could they tremble in fear over this small formation!
Li Wei looked at them. Even the dim starlight couldn't conceal the delight hidden within their surprised expressions.
Yes, delight.
You, the Head of Household, recklessly and rashly led the main force out of the city in a panic without fully understanding the situation, nearly falling for the enemy's diversionary tactics. In the end, you ended up in disgrace, missed the perfect opportunity to defend the city, and caused significant losses to the family property. Wasn't this a ready-made excuse for Impeachment?
So they weren't worried about robbers attacking the city, and didn't even worry about the so-called Witch. They only hoped Li Wei would have bad luck!
This elementary school student was too dazzling and too showy. As a result, he took steps that were too big, and now he finally stretched himself too thin!
Haha!
You little gambling dog!
But Li Wei also laughed "haha" in his heart at this moment; he was no gambling dog!
"Silence! Do not panic! I am certain the Witch is at the Quarry. Charge up and kill her for me, and we'll be able to solve all problems once and for all!"
Li Wei suddenly roared fiercely, his gaze savage like a ferocious beast!
And then, without caring about what the others wanted to say or do, he took the lead and charged up.
Ah, this was exactly the effect he wanted!
First of all, as the Head of Household, Li Wei had just announced entering a state of war. Everything prioritized the war. You couldn't say, 'Oh my, there are still some matters at home, I can't.' All excuses were bullshit!
Secondly, Li Wei was the Head of Household. He had already launched the charge, and you guys aren't following?
I dare you not to follow!
Not following would be a severe NG, oh, and the punishment wouldn't be just erasing a random attribute or two!
It would be double!
So for a moment, even the normally calm and deeply calculating Clyde felt his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine! Cold sweat was about to break out.
This recently graduated elementary school student was too fucking hard to deal with!
Leon frantically gave Clyde meaningful glances, asking for strategic guidance. Motherfucker, in a state of war, item cards couldn't be used!
"Follow the Lord; protect the Lord!"
Ultimately, Clyde could only yell out this sentence. He couldn't hesitate any longer. A severe NG meant double punishment, which meant that their desire to slack off and go easy during combat was strictly prohibited and stopped.
Their only hope now was that there was no Witch up on this Quarry. That way, they could settle accounts after the autumn harvest and initiate an Impeachment against Li Wei under the pretext of delaying military opportunities!
If Fila and Penny ended up with one dead and one injured, it would be even more perfect. No need for Impeachment; the Head of Household would be stripped of his position right on the spot! Dismissed, and he'd also have to endure a punishment lasting six months!
So, whether it was Fila or Penny, please, for the sake of everyone's interests, die gracefully.
Gamble! Just gamble on it!
As Clyde followed with large strides, Leon also quickly reacted, including Sophie and Old John. Yes, they could only gamble. Could it be that the four of them couldn't out-gamble you alone!
We don't believe it. You don't have a raven pet, and you don't have heavenly eyes. How can you be certain the Witch is up there? Stop telling Arabian Nights tales—ugh, what is that smell?
It stinks a bit!
A gentle evening breeze blew over. While bringing the tranquility of the night, it also carried an indescribable foulness—a rotting stench.
At this moment, the expressions of the several gambling dogs changed.
Following closely, under the dim starlight, a tall figure walked over from the steep slope above the Quarry. It was fully two point two or three meters tall!
So sturdy it was like an alternate-world version of the Mountain!
The key point was that his entire body was covered in heavy refined steel full-plate armor, along with a heavy bucket helmet that only revealed his eyes. The two-handed greatsword slung on his back looked like a dog-head guillotine!
Motherfucker, what kind of existence is this?
"Awooo!"
The sound of wolves howling rang out. Two mutated Blood Wolves appeared from another direction. The black-robed Witch was sitting on one of them. With a flutter, a giant raven landed. Well then! She got a new pet.
This time it was Li Wei's turn to have his scalp tingle!
Can we beat this?
"Protect the Lord!"
The good news was that at this very moment, the usefulness of these seasoned veterans finally came into play. Clyde gave a loud roar and, holding his small round buckler, blocked in front of Li Wei. Leon pulled out a two-handed greatsword that was clearly two sizes smaller and guarded Li Wei's right flank.
There was no other way!
Since things had come to this, Clyde already understood that they had been schemed against by Li Wei.
The Camp had a City Wall, and Fila and Penny were both seasoned veterans who had survived the Chaotic Killing Battlefield. Holding the line temporarily wouldn't be a problem. However, it would also be normal for the robbers to wreak havoc in the Camp, such as destroying his One-Star Steel Furnace.
However, the node that determined the victory or defeat of this war truly lied here.
Killing the Witch meant winning!
Then there was nothing more to say. Go all out; to avoid an NG and reduce losses, fight desperately!
"George! Is it you, George!"
The black-robed Witch opposite them suddenly spoke at this moment. Her voice was very soft and pleasant, like a female ghost calling for her lover in the dead of night.
"I know you didn't die; I'm truly so happy. It's me, Mixi! Perhaps we had a misunderstanding before, but we can still reconcile now."
"George, look at me; I am still your fiancée!"
While speaking, the black-robed Witch suddenly lifted her black face veil, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful, classically elegant face with skin that looked as if it could be broken by a gentle blow. This was not something the fake Mixi from the previous version could compare to.
Because this was the real Mixi.
But it was meaningless. How could cooperation be so easy? Didn't she see that no information popped out?
These were natural born enemies—
[As the Head of Household, you will have the authority to decide whether to reconcile with your aunt Luna, fiancée Mixi, and sister-in-law Hathaway! Your decision will deeply influence the subsequent plot!]
What the fucking hell? Information actually popped out.
However, what is 'deeply influence' going on with these typos...
[Error! The opposing party is an unforgivable, non-negotiable target. Please kill them immediately!]
Another line of bloody information emerged! Bolded and emphasized!
My fucking god!
Li Wei shuddered violently, suddenly realizing that the popped-out information wasn't reliable either!
He immediately let out a loud shout!
"Kill!"
At the same time, he had already lightning-fast switched to the Dog Butcher title, changing his Agility to 15 points. Then, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, he aimed at the black-robed Witch and fired a shot!
It didn't matter whether it hit or not; the point was that this was the signal for war!
"Crack!"
Li Wei's arrow seemed to suddenly hit a transparent barrier. The barrier shattered like glass in an instant, but that arrow also fell to the ground alongside it.
As for the black-robed Witch, she quickly controlled the mutated Blood Wolf to retreat, causing Old John's arrow from over twenty meters away to also miss.
"Roar!"
With an angry roar, that Mountain-like, fully armored big guy actually charged down fiercely from the steep slope at this moment. In the final, steep section that was over three meters high, he forcefully leaped up and chopped wildly!
Like Mount Tai pressing down on the top of their heads, it even stirred up a gust of fierce wind!
What the hell!
What level of monster is this?
"Scatter!"
"Everyone scatter!"
Li Wei and Clyde roared simultaneously and then scattered out of sync. But at this time, one could see how outstanding the buff brought by 15 points of Agility was.
Clyde and Leon could only scramble madly to the two sides, while Li Wei was able to rapidly sprint to the right side at this moment, as if drawing an arc. While easily dodging the big monster's greatsword slash, he also rushed to the side-front of the opponent, closing to within ten meters of him.
At this moment, without any reluctance, he threw away the Two-Star Composite Bow and drew the Two-Star Bloodthirsty Spear with lightning speed!
Then, the instant the big, fully armored monster landed, Li Wei took a three-step running start! At the same time, he switched to his Bear Hunter title, letting his Strength instantly reach 17 points, naturally mobilizing all the strength in his body and channeling it into the Two-Star Bloodthirsty Spear!
Whoosh!
An explosive whistling sound of splitting the air erupted. The throwing spear didn't even leave an afterimage. It directly, with peerless precision, pierced explosively right through the eye grille of the opponent's helmet!
"Bang!"
A huge explosive sound rang out. Even if this spot was very small, it was useless. 17 points of Strength! It was almost equivalent to the combined strength of two adult men!
It directly blasted the helmet's grille open, tearing a hole as thick as a fist!
All this happened extremely fast!
It could practically be described as happening in the flash of lightning and spark of flint.
Especially Li Wei's process of drawing the Two-Star Bloodthirsty Spear, running, and throwing—it was so silky smooth it was terrifying!
While the others were still thinking about how to respond, his Bloodthirsty Spear had already caused blood to spray with a single strike!
Because he chose the throwing mode, starting from 12 points, every additional 1 point of Strength increased the armor-piercing success rate by 10%. So, 17 points of Strength equaled an additional 50% extra armor-piercing rate.
Coupled with the armor-piercing damage of the Two-Star Bloodthirsty Spear's own refined steel spearhead, even if the big monster's helmet was extremely thick and heavy, it couldn't avoid being blasted with a huge hole. It blasted directly into his skull, penetrating at least twenty centimeters deep. Tainted blood and various bits and pieces sprayed out like a fountain!
"Clang!"
That big monster fell to the ground, face towards the sky.
Instant kill!
