Chapter 108: Not surprising at all (12 a day, , asking for monthly votes)

Keqing's eyes were somewhat heavy.
As the Yuheng Star, she naturally knew a lot of information.

Regarding Guyun Pavilion, ordinary Liyue people know that this was a miracle created by the rock spear thrown by the Emperor.

However, as a Yuheng Star, Keqing knew that the Emperor's former enemy was still sealed under the Guyun Pavilion.

Osel, the demon god of the whirlpool.

This person is not a simple demon. Even during the Demon War, he can be considered a tough enemy.

Of course, perhaps the fact that the Emperor doesn’t like seafood is also directly related to this.

The three of them walked forward cautiously.
Soon, a voice came to my ears.

Wang Hao, Keqing and Xingqiu exchanged glances, and the three of them stopped and hid in the surrounding bushes.

"What bad luck! How could an adventurer come here?"

"This is someone else's territory. It's normal for adventurers to come here."

"Well, tell me what to do now."

"If you ask me, it's better to just kill them all."

"Oh, I think that's fine. Why don't you go talk to the Major?"

"Tsk, why don't you go."

"I don't want to be scolded."

"..."

Wang Hao and the other two hid and gradually approached.

I also saw the person who was speaking.

Two guys dressed as Fatui were guarding the entrance to a camp. Through their bodies, one could see quite a few figures in the camp behind them.

[What a fool!]

【No surprises at all.】

[I've already said that when something bad happens, the Fatui and the Cult of the Abyss should be prioritized, and then the Treasure Thieves.]

[He is a classic villain. 】

In Wang Hao’s eyes, the comments were full of laughter.

But Wang Hao was not in such a good mood.

The conversation between the two Fatui just now has proved that there was a team of adventurers before, and now, this team of adventurers has been captured by them.

The adventurer team that could appear in Guyun Pavilion must be from Liyue.

When they exchanged glances with Keqing, they both saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes.
Even Xingqiu's expression darkened.

But the three of them did not act impulsively, but instead retreated cautiously.
Until it came to a position that the Fools could not observe,
Wang Haocai said, "We must save the people, but we must not be impulsive. We must prevent the fools from jumping over the wall and harming the hostages."

Keqing nodded in agreement: "Yes, I agree, and we don't know how many Fatui are here yet."

As the saying goes, only when you know both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

It will be difficult to take action without knowing the details of these fools.

Wang Hao's eyes flickered slightly: "This is easy."

Then he looked at the shadow behind him and said, "Number Three, take someone to find out their details tonight."

"Yes." Number Three emerged from the shadows.

Xingqiu looked at it with some envy.
An action team like No. 3 is really useful.

Keqing didn't say anything, she blushed.

She suddenly remembered whether Number Three had heard everything she said to Wang Hao last night.

Will No. 3 tell Ningguang?
Keqing's mind was suddenly confused.

However, she did not show it on the surface, but said: "Let's find a place to rest and talk about it in the evening."

Wang Hao nodded: "Yeah, okay."

So the three of them continued to retreat back to where they came from, preparing to find a place to rest.

……

That night,

It was very quiet in the Fatui camp.

The Fatui are in standard martial law mode, and noise itself is not allowed.

Especially at night, keeping quiet is a discipline.

Of course, it's not completely quiet.

In a corner of the camp, five adventurers were imprisoned in several cages.
Their faces showed anger, worry, and a hint of despair.

Although they had reported their adventure here to the association, by the time the association discovered they were missing, they would probably have died.

More importantly, their captain was lying in the corner, dying.
Having lost their backbone, it becomes even more difficult for them to make any moves of resistance.

They were in such low spirits that they did not notice the shadow moving in the corner.

Not only in the corners of the prison, but also between the tents in the camp, there were several shadows moving.

They entered the tent silently, like the darlings of the night, and then left without attracting anyone's attention.

If there are some elite members of the Fatui here, they might be able to find some traces.
But unfortunately, most of the Fatui who appeared here are militants.

The fools here really don't understand the delicate work of lurking in the shadows.

After half an incense stick of time, these shadows gathered together and quickly left the camp.

Outside the Fools' camp,

Wang Hao and the other two were armed and ready.

Several shadows emerged.

Number Three came to Wang Hao and said, "There are two Fatui standing guard at the entrance of the camp. There are six tents in the camp, with ten people in each tent. One of the tents is occupied by a woman, who should be a sorcerer. The occupation of the male is unknown. The commander of the separate tent in the center is their chief officer. We did not approach to avoid being discovered. There is a prison in the camp, which holds five adventurers, one of whom has fallen into a coma..."

Number Three recounted all the information he had collected and drew a simple diagram on the beach beneath his feet.

After listening to No. 3's intelligence, Wang Hao said, "No. 3 and the others go to rescue people, and we go to deal with those Fatui. How about that?"

He was asking for Keqing and Xingqiu's opinions.

"I have no problem." Xingqiu nodded.

Keqing thought for a moment and said, "We can't do both at the same time. The Fatui only have two guards at the door, and there are no patrollers inside. We can let No. 3 and the others go rescue the people first. After they succeed, they can send us a message. Then we can attack the Fatui camp. No. 3 and the others can use this opportunity to send people out, and we can also prevent the Fatui from threatening us with hostages."

Although there were fifty people in the Fatui camp, neither Xingqiu nor Keqing took them seriously.

This is confidence in one's own strength.

Wang Hao nodded and looked at No. 3 again: "Just do as Keqing said. Go and rescue people first. Be careful not to let those adventurers scream to avoid being discovered. After you succeed, send me a message and we will attack again."

Number Three nodded and led the team back into the shadows.

The Fools' Camp,
The imprisoned adventurer looked at his captain with concern.
The dying captain began to have a high fever.

If he continues like this, he may not make it to tomorrow.

But they did not dare to shout, because they had shouted before during the day and were severely beaten by the Fatui.

Suddenly, shadows rose in the prison. No. 3 and his companions did not explain anything and quickly covered the mouths of these adventurers.

The adventurer struggled subconsciously.

"Don't move, Liyue General Affairs Department."

Number Three's cold voice sounded.

The adventurers were stunned for a moment, then showed a look of joy and immediately stopped moving.

"We will let you go next. Don't shout and keep quiet. We will take you out."

Number Three said.

The adventurers nodded quickly.

They did not doubt the identities of No. 3 and others.

After all, who else could have entered the Fatui camp to rescue people if not the General Affairs Department?

As for whether it was a conspiracy of the Fatui? The captain was about to die, so they were in no mood to doubt it.

After getting the adventurers' response, No. 3 and others let the adventurers go.

Then one of the assassins went to the door of the cell and started tinkering with it.

They can transform into shadows and move freely, but adventurers cannot, so the door still has to be opened.

Fortunately, as professionals, the members of Team 3 are very versatile, and a mere ordinary lock is nothing to them.

Soon, the cell door was opened.

"Walk in our center and don't make any noise."

No. 3 and others formed a circle, and the shadow gradually spread.

This is a kind of sleight of hand, which is very effective at night, but useless during the day.

The group walked towards the door cautiously.

When he came to the door, he looked at the fools guarding the door.

The adventurers became nervous again.

Two Fatui are nothing, but if they are alarmed, the next one will be fifty Fatui.

Number Three stopped, took out a short crossbow, and pulled the trigger into the air.

A shrill scream echoed through the camp.

Whistle arrow.

outside the camp,
Wang Hao and the other two's eyes lit up, and they didn't hesitate at all.

The body is the bow, the spear is the arrow,
Wang Hao threw the spear. He liked this way of opening more and more.

Before the Fatui at the door could react, the whistling spear nailed one of them to death. Another Fatui looked terrified and was about to shout, but the next moment, a hairpin with a sword mark appeared behind him.

A purple figure flashed, and the long sword slashed across his throat.

The screams of fear stopped abruptly, and only bubbling sounds could be heard.

"Number Three, take them away."

Wang Hao stretched out his hand, and the water element turned into a silk thread, pulling the spear back into his hand.

At this moment, in the tent at the center of the camp, the Fatui major suddenly opened his eyes.
Elemental force fluctuations!
Enemy attack!

To be able to become a major of the Fatui, he is a battle-hardened warrior, so he must have something.

He stood up, reached out for the bed, and held a big sword in his hand.

Then he rushed out of the tent and shouted, "Enemy attack, assemble."

I have to say that the Fatui really have execution ability.

Less than ten seconds after the major shouted, figures rushed out from various tents, all of them Fatui holding weapons.

They also saw Wang Hao and his two companions at the entrance of the camp, as well as the two corpses of the Fatui at the end.

"Catch them."

The major had not yet reacted at this time. He thought it was just an ordinary attack and wanted to capture the person.

Following the major's orders, a dozen Fatui armed with sledgehammers rushed forward.

Wang Hao raised his lips and said, "I'll deal with the big one, and you guys deal with the miscellaneous soldiers."

"Okay." Keqing and Xingqiu nodded.

Ignoring the Fatui giant hammer soldiers rushing over, Wang Hao threw his spear again, aiming directly at the Fatui major in the center of the camp.

And his figure also rushed forward with the spear.

A giant hammer soldier tried to stop him, but was knocked down by Wang Hao's punch.
What a joke! When he was in Guhua School, he learned gun skills, but also learned boxing and kicking skills.

Wang Hao is quite good at martial arts.

The spear whistled.

The Fatui Major's eyes narrowed, and he immediately swung his sword, chopping the spear away.

But the huge force still made him take a few steps back.

Wang Hao clenched his right hand and pulled the water element thread again, pulling the flying spear back into his hand.

"Guhua Sect, Wang Hao, please give me your guidance."

After saying this, Wang Hao stepped forward again, and the spear in his hand drew a series of spear shadows.

The Fatui major had a solemn expression on his face. From that shot just now, he had already realized that the opponent was definitely not weak.

He swung the greatsword in his hand to intercept the gun shadows.

To be honest, Wang Hao hasn't had a proper battle since he came down the mountain. The enemies he met were either trash like the Hillichurls, who were totally unbeatable, or super-model creatures like the Demon God's Grudge, who had to reveal all his trump cards to defeat.

But now, this Fatui major made Wang Hao's eyes light up.

No one knew what kind of swordsmanship the opponent used, but his martial arts were not weak and were on par with his. Even without using elemental power, they actually fought back and forth for dozens of rounds.

the other side,
Xingqiu and Keqing held long swords and rushed left and right while being surrounded by the Fatui. The tall Fatui could not stop them at all.

Xingqiu has already comprehended the Rain-Cutting Technique. When the technique is put into practice, the surrounding water elements turn into drizzle. His every move is followed by water curtain sword energy. The sword energy is mighty, like a downpour, or even more like rain in the underworld. The fools around him will be injured if they are touched by it, or die if they are touched by it.

Keqing is even more so. Compared with Xingqiu's water curtain sword energy, her mobility is stronger.
The sword shines like a shadow, and the sword prints fly.
In the eyes of the Fatui, this female swordsman was far away one second, and would appear behind them the next, cutting their throats with the sword in her hand.

But as all the Fatui came out of their tents, some Fatui sorceresses began to summon fireflies on the periphery, and their attacks began to be hindered.

Although the two are very strong, there are only two of them after all.

Moreover, the Fatui all have elemental equipment.
These equipment are threatening to Keqing and Xingqiu.

Seeing his own people gradually regaining the upper hand, the Fatui Major's expression gradually calmed down.

In his opinion, his side is already stable.

But the next moment, a series of short arrows shattered his fantasy.

Team Three is back.

After sending the adventurer out, they quickly turned back.

In the dark night, this shadow team is much more dangerous than Keqing and her team.

Moreover, Team No. 3 understands tactics very well.

They did not directly attack the Fatui men in armor in front of them.

Instead, he very 'sinisterly' chose the Fatui sorceress in the rear.

Crossbow arrows shot out from the shadows, and instantly three sorceresses were killed on the spot and two were injured.

The firefly team that was gradually forming suddenly collapsed.

The major who was fighting with Wang Hao suddenly became anxious.

The three God's Eye holders were already difficult to deal with.
Why is there a team of assassins in secret?

Moreover, shouldn't this kind of underhanded approach be something that the Fatui are good at?

"Damn it."

The Fatui major shouted angrily, and a trace of icy blue bloomed on his chest.

Evil Eye Ice.

Almost at the same time, ice elements gradually gathered on the Fatui Major's sword, and his slashes carried an icy aura.

There was a sudden collision, and a chill ran down the spear into Wang Hao's arm.
Wang Hao shivered, but he didn't feel any discomfort.

His energy and blood are already extremely vigorous, and a little bit of ice element cannot affect him.

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Seeing that the other party had used the evil eye, Wang Hao would not give in. With a thought, the Eye of God on his waist emitted a deep blue light.

The surrounding water elements quickly gathered.

Ancient Hua Spear·Tian Gang Breaks Evil,
Guhua Spear: Stab and kill.

A rune flashed in Wang Hao's eyes.
Elemental vision expands.

In Wang Hao's vision, the evil eye on the chest of the Fatui Major was constantly absorbing the opponent's vitality, breathing in and out, and gathering ice elements.

"Come on, fight again."

Wang Hao was excited and thrust the spear in his hand straight at the Fatui major again.

For a moment, the Fatui Major actually felt that he was struggling even more.

In fact, at the beginning he used fighting techniques to fight against Wang Hao, and the two of them could fight back and forth.
But once the elemental power is used, even if the ice element does have a certain advantage over the water element, he will not be able to be Wang Hao's opponent.

Don't forget that Wang Hao's elemental power has been strengthened twice by the power of the devil.

Here, Wang Hao's spear was shining with water light, making it difficult for the Fatui major to resist.

the other side,
With the cooperation of Team No. 3, Keqing and Xingqiu were under much less pressure and they quickly harvested the lives of the Fatui.

Gradually, the Fatui Major suddenly realized that there were only a few people left around.
Even those who were left were killed by the crossbows in the shadows.

Seeing this, Wang Hao shook the spear in his hand and hit the opponent's sword, knocking the Fatui major to the ground.

"Why don't you surrender? If you keep fighting, you'll be beaten to death."

Wang Hao said coldly.

[Why does it feel like Wang Hao has become much stronger? ]

[Yes, even steam tactics were useless this time. ]

[Anyway, Wang Hao has been getting stronger rapidly since he came down the mountain.]

[Not only Wang Hao, Xingqiu is also getting stronger, much stronger than when he just came down the mountain. ]

[As expected, actual combat is still necessary. 】

【…】

Collapsing on the ground, the Fatui Major's forehead was already showing white hair.

The consumption of "Eye of the Sublime" is still too terrifying after all.

Even though he was the best among the fools, he could not bear this power.

However, facing Wang Hao's cold expression, he still maintained his dignity: "Kill me."

If ordinary Fatui still had the possibility of surrender, then it would be impossible for a major officer like this who had already entered the management level to surrender.

Having seen the darkness of the Fatui, he knew better than anyone how his family in Winter Solstice would be punished if he surrendered.

"cut."

Wang Hao snorted lightly, but did not take any action.

It would be a pity to kill Fatui of this level directly. Instead, we should capture them and hand them over to Sister Ningguang so that we can extract the greatest benefit.

With a thought, the water element turned into silk thread and tied up the major.

Then he picked up a rag cut from the body of some Fatui and stuffed it into the major's mouth.

Since you don't want to talk about it anyway, just keep your mouth shut.

Actually, it is to prevent tongue biting.

Team Three also tied up the other Fatui whose hands and feet were shot by crossbow arrows.

"We agreed to go out and relax, but I didn't expect to end up with a bunch of these guys."

Xingqiu shook his wrist, tired of swinging his sword.
There were still some traces of the elements on his clothes, proving that he was not as relaxed as he appeared to be.

Keqing's face also looked a little pale, which was a sign of excessive use of strength.

However, there were no marks on her body. Her mobility was too strong, and it was difficult for the Fatui to hit her.
