Chapter 1056: The Power of the Intelligence-Reducing Aura
Zhang Tuohai came to the cliff and took a look. The cliff was about fifty or sixty meters high. If someone went down from this height, it would be basically certain that he would be dead.
Looking downstream from here, there are two cliffs within the visible range of the naked eye, which shows how unsuitable this river is for navigation.
Having completely given up the idea of taking shortcuts, Zhang Tuohai rode the wild boar along the shore.
After walking for about a whole morning, the sun was brighter in the sky, and Zhang Tuohai wanted to find a place to rest for a while and have lunch.
He looked around, trying to find a place to camp.
Turning around, I found an abandoned village .
Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai was happy.
Wherever there are abandoned villages, there will basically be abandoned dry wood, which will provide a source of firewood for cooking at noon.
Zhang Tuohai excitedly drove the host towards the abandoned village.
When he was about to approach the village, Zhang Tuohai suddenly heard bursts of cries for help.
"Help - someone save me - "
"Someone is calling for help? Could it be a gang of thieves?" Zhang Tuohai slowed down the wild boar and approached carefully .
Soon, Zhang Tuohai approached the side of the village and looked inside cautiously.
There was a cage hanging on the flagpole in the center of the village. An old man was inside the cage, shouting for help.
"The shape is really unique." Zhang Tuohai took a look at the cage and sighed at how fancy these people were playing with it.
At this time, the old man also saw Zhang Tuohai, his eyes were bright, and he shouted quickly: "Come here quickly, come and save me!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tuohai heard footsteps.
"Damn it, this old man is trying to harm me!" Zhang Tuohai's expression was stern, but this was not a good time to escape. It was so open here, and if the other side had a few archers, he would be a sitting duck.
The ruins of the village are better. There are shelters everywhere, and he can deal with these people with his flexible movements.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tuohai did not retreat. Instead, he stepped on the wild boar and jumped onto the roof next to him. He drew out his dagger and small round shield, hid behind the roof and looked around.
Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, a dozen thieves in uniform and armed with scimitars ran out of the village. Moreover, these people were divided into two teams, as if they were attacking from both sides.
When many thieves had surrounded the wild boar, they were stunned when they saw the wild boar standing there.
A thief wearing a turban said dissatisfiedly: "I thought I caught a big fish, but it turned out to be a wild boar. That old man must be crazy, actually calling a wild boar to save him."
"Maybe he got confused because of the sun, it's so hot today." another thief said.
"It would be nice to have a wild boar as a snack." A thief was wielding the scimitar in his hand, aiming at the wild boar, wondering where to strike.
Within the range of the Hero's Badge, these thieves were all enveloped in the aura of reduced intelligence, completely forgetting the rationality of the matter.
They were all thinking about how to get the wild boar back to have a feast.
Then, under Li Mo's command, the wild boar rushed directly to the center of the village, knocking down several thieves on the way. One of the thieves was unable to dodge and his stomach was pierced, and his intestines flowed out.
“Chase after him!”
A group of thieves chased the wild boar. Two thieves didn't want to put in any effort, so they walked slowly behind, preparing to fish in the distance.
Seeing two lone thieves, Zhang Tuohai suddenly had an idea and felt that his opportunity had come. He jumped down from the roof and smashed one of the thieves' head with the round shield in his hand.
The thief who was hit didn't make a sound, and fell down limply like a broken sack.
Seeing this, the other thief drew his knife.
Zhang Tuohai elbowed the opponent under the ribs.
The thief felt the pain and gave up his strength, and subconsciously ducked down. Zhang Tuohai tripped him and knocked him to the ground, then rode on him directly.
"Ride."
[Successfully tamed the thief Alfonso. There are currently 0 mount slots. Should I release the current mount or the previous mount to free up the slot? ]
"Release the previous mount."
[Please choose, 1 Amira, 2 Black Boar. ]
"Release Amira."
Zhang Tuohai said directly.
The black wild boar is his current mount for traveling, and he cannot give it up until he has a replacement.
Amira's value dropped rapidly after she left the camp.
In Zhang Tuohai's opinion, it would be the same even if he needed to go back to the camp and tame it again.
It is more important to solve the current problems.
【The thief Alfonso becomes your mount.】
"Pretend nothing happened and secretly kill your accomplices." Zhang Tuohai said.
Alfonso showed a struggle on his face, but under the constraints of the system, he still did it.
Seeing Alfonso approaching with a knife, Zhang Tuohai drew out his dagger and stabbed the thief who was knocked unconscious and the thief whose stomach was cut open, helping them to relieve their pain.
After two sword strikes, Zhang Tuohai obtained two money bags, each of which provided a dozen silver coins.
"So poor." Spatting with disdain, Zhang Tuohai chased after him with a dagger in hand.
When they quietly reached the village square, they saw three or four people lying on the ground, and the controlled thief Alfonso was surrounded by several thieves.
"Why did you kill them?"
A leader asked angrily.
"I, I don't know." Alfonso, who was controlled, had red eyes, gasped, and his eyes were full of resentment.
"Brother, don't waste your time talking to him. He must have been bribed. Kill him to avenge the other brothers." said a small thief.
"Yes, kill him." The surrounding thieves were all excited under the influence of the aura of reduced intelligence. They shouted to kill Alfonso, and no one wanted to find out what happened.
"Since the brothers all think you must die, let's go." The leading thief drew out a two-meter-long sword and slashed at Alfonso.
Alfonso did not dodge or evade, but threw the scimitar in his hand directly out.
The leader dodged the scimitar and slashed Alfonso with the huge sword in his hand, cutting Alfonso into two pieces.
"Drag the body down and bury it."
The leader took out a piece of rag and began to clean the blood on the giant sword, and the two thieves dragged the body out of the village.
Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai immediately followed.
The two thieves were too lazy to dig a hole, so they found a broken well and threw the body down.
"Go find something else to fill the well." A thief said casually while lying at the mouth of the well and looking down.
The thief didn't hear the answer, so he looked back and found a dagger sticking out of the accomplice's chest.
When the thief saw his accomplice's look, he knew something was wrong.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, he felt his feet go weak and someone was pressing on him.
Then a voice sounded in my ears: "Go kill your leader."
