It was a dark and windy night, and dark clouds gathered on the island, covering the bright moon and the last bit of light. A thin figure moved like a ghost in the dense forest. This figure was none other than Shen Xiao, who had accepted Shen Fei's request and the system mission to come to the Wood Cloud Stronghold.
Spirit Shark Steps moved like a ghost. When moving forward, his feet were completely stuck to the ground. Unlike ordinary people, when moving forward, their bodies would move up and down because of the change in their legs. To put it bluntly, when using Spirit Shark Steps to move forward, it was like a ghost moving forward. If an outsider saw it from afar, they would really think that they had encountered something unclean.
Very quickly, a refreshing fragrance wafted over. After passing through a forest, a sea of pink trees appeared in front of them. This was a sea of peach blossoms. According to Shen Fei, as long as they passed through the sea of peach blossoms in the forest, they would reach the location of the Wood Cloud Stronghold. Because there were not many people, the Wood Cloud Stronghold was not large. Because it was too big, it was not suitable for defending against enemy attacks.
The location of the Wood Cloud Stronghold was close to the mountain. It was at a high place. Because the mountain peak was too lofty, even the people of the Wood Cloud Stronghold did not dare to go up the mountain casually. Therefore, they set up the stronghold at the foot of the mountain. It could be considered as a geographical advantage, but this advantage had always been designed to face a large number of people attacking. It did not affect Shen Xiao, who was alone.
After passing through the Peach Blossom Sea, they saw a huge object standing in the dark. Even though it was not large, it was indeed a huge object for a person. It was surrounded by a sharp wall made of tree trunks. On the wall... torches were dancing in the wind. However, because the weather today was not good, even if there were torches, they could not illuminate too many things.
"Humph! It seemed that Yang Biao was not a smart person. I would have set your lousy place on fire long ago!”When he arrived at the bottom of the wall of the Wood Cloud Stronghold and observed the surrounding environment, Shen Xiao could not help but feel a wave of disdain. Why would a person choose such a place with dense trees to build a camp? Furthermore, the material used to build the camp was wood.
If Shen Xiao was outside the forest and lit a fire, even if there were still survivors in the village, it would only be a matter of minutes to get rid of them. However, he had no choice because although his mission was to get rid of them, he still had the mission to get rid of the remaining children. Moreover, controlling these people would give him a much higher reward than killing them. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Shen Xiao did not want to kill them.
" Your vigilance is not bad!!" Bending his knees, Shen Xiao flipped up and leaned over the wall. The fire in the stronghold was still relatively bright, and he could see black shadows standing at various important places. At the same time, there were some who were patrolling in groups of three to five. For a small stronghold to have such vigilance, one could not help but praise it.
However, Shen Xiao smiled. Then, he flipped his hand, and his middle finger was completely intact. His thumb pressed down on his middle finger, and there was a small stone between his two fingers. This was something that he had prepared beforehand. Before he had mastered the Flick divine power to the point of being as pure as fire, Shen Xiao still needed to use the stone. Therefore, he had prepared a large handful of stones beforehand and threw them into the system inventory.
The system inventory also solved some of the problems, which was the disadvantage of carrying a large number of stones on his body. Every time he used them, he had to reach out to grab them. However, it was different when he placed them in the system inventory. As long as he made a finger gesture and quickly controlled the stones to appear between his fingers, he could immediately use the energy, saving a lot of time.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the sound of air being torn apart was heard, purple light rays streaked across the sky and accurately hit the acupuncture points of the minions guarding the main roads. Immediately, all the minions felt their bodies go weak and slowly lost their voices.
Of course, Shen Xiao did not kill them. Instead, she used a stone to hit their sleeping acupoints so that they could have a good sleep. She still needed them to know if she could obtain a high reward! Following that, Shen Xiao continued to use the same method. After placing about forty of them, the outer area looked empty. In addition, they only needed to enter the hall. However, before that, there was still one more thing to do…
Chirp chirp!
"Ah! Great…hero! Don't. Don't…don't kill me!" Shen Xiao walked forward and grabbed an unconscious minion. She tapped him twice, and the minion instantly reacted and gradually woke up. Seeing this, Shen Xiao picked up a knife from the ground and placed it on his neck. The moment the minion woke up, he immediately felt a cold sensation on his neck. He saw that there was a knife on his neck.
He raised his head and looked in front of him, only to see a young face. It was obvious that he was not old, but his personal feeling was that he was not a kid who could be bullied casually. When he saw that his companions beside him had been knocked down, he subconsciously thought that his companions had all been killed by this youth. He immediately began to beg for mercy.
"Shut up! What did you say? " Otherwise, you know the result…" Shen Xiao could tell at a glance that this lackey was afraid of death. His gaze could not help but become fiercer as he spoke coldly. The small fry was so frightened that he hurriedly nodded. How could he dare to say no…
"Very good! Let me ask you! Were there many children locked up here?!”The more afraid this person was of death, the more advantageous it was for him, because people who were afraid of death did not know how to lie. If he wanted to find out where those children were, he had to find such a person. This kind of person wouldn't know how to play tricks.
"Yes…Yes! After Boss punished them, he locked them up in prison!!”This lackey did not disappoint him. For the sake of his own life, he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Bring me there!" When Shen Xiao saw this, she held the knife in one hand and grabbed the minion's clothes with the other. She pushed him to the front and at the same time, she held the knife to his neck from behind. The cold blade slashed across his neck, causing the timid minion to feel his hair stand on end. Without any hesitation, he immediately led the way towards the prison.
Very quickly, after passing through a few strange cries, they arrived at the prison. Although it was called a prison, it was actually a wooden house built with trees. The door of the wooden house was made of iron, and there were two burly men with knives guarding it. When Shen Xiao saw this, he knocked out the lackey in his hand and slowly approached the prison.
