Chapter 967: Whispering that drives people crazy

The boulder stopped in the forest, a bonfire was lit next to it, and several people sat by the bonfire to rest.

The forger disappeared, saying he needed to rest, but the ogre was still there. The Ripper came back, and he didn't come back alone, he brought more than seventy people with him.

It is said that the Ripper said that he committed suicide several times to ensure that all the bandit strongholds around the gem mining area were wiped out. These seventy-odd people were captured alive in his attacks, and the monster-like bandits were killed by him.

The bandit demon shuddered. He didn't expect that he, who came out to hunt, would become the only survivor.

However, these seventy-odd people did not bring more information. Ordinary humans were at the bottom of the entire Bandit King system and were cheap props that could be consumed at any time.

On the contrary, the Bandit Demon said a lot of useful things, including many details about the Bandit King system.

If one wants to climb up in this harsh pyramid, one has to make greater contributions. Paying tribute once a week can only ensure that one will not be punished.

In order to make a greater contribution, the monsterized bandits will accept commissions from the Adventurer's Guild and complete the hunting of monsters.

Because the monsterized bandits are not blessed, the monsters they kill will leave intact corpses, creating more benefits.

As for how to conceal the monster's identity, all you need to do is wear the [Black Robe of the Hider] specially provided by the [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

But hunting monsters only climbed to the middle level. If you want to climb up, you must not only pay tribute but also provide a variety of useful information, among which the action mode information of small-scale stranger guilds is given priority.

The reason why a medium-sized Stranger Guild's action mode is required is because only the upper echelons have the opportunity to meet the Bandit King and join forces with the Bandit King to attack the Stranger Guild and rob its wealth.

It is hard to imagine how much wealth there is in the Stranger Guild, so the monstrous bandits and robbers are trying their best to get in, and the upper-level bandits and robbers are even more unscrupulous in order to maintain their status and challenge the upper levels.

It is said that some of them even have levels higher than LV99. What is frightening is that even LV99 bandits are still no match for the Bandit King and those in higher positions.

"I think... the bandit king is not only taking advantage of the infighting among these bandits for fun, but he is also raising poisonous insects and cultivating monster-like humans." The Ripper stirred the fire with a branch to make the flames jump more vigorously.

The night was a little cold. Although she had become a second-generation god, Hebi still had the physique of an ordinary person. She lay in the wings of the chicken, resisting the sleepiness and thinking.

"Many foreigner guilds seem to have done something similar, but they all raised monsters."

"Even if you're raising monsters, you wouldn't create such a disgusting structure." Seeing that the fire was empty, the ogre simply took out a thigh and roasted it on the fire.

Perhaps because he felt the topic was a little uncomfortable, he even made a joke.

"I heard that someone raised a cow named Milk Sugar, but the cow didn't have to work at all, and people were the ones plowing the fields instead. Some people said that since the cow was called Milk Sugar, how could it be used to plow the fields?"

The ogre just wanted to tell a joke, but the thigh of meat he put on the fire happened to be a cow's leg, and the joke turned into a hellish joke.

The bandit demon next to him was sweating so much that his pants were almost soaked. He felt that he should at least defend himself.

"This is all the Bandit King's fault. I was forced into this."

"Shut up, or I'll kill you." The Ripper pulled out a branch and pointed it at the bandit demon. The expression on his face didn't look like he was joking.

Although the ogre next to him was smiling, his fake smile made him look even more terrifying.

"The first knife was an accident, it was self-defense, the second and third ones are a different story. And you, it's obvious that you're a repeat offender."

The bandit demon stopped talking immediately. He found that the more he talked, the closer he was to death. "There are nearly a hundred people in this small base in the gem mining area... The bandit king must have tens of thousands of bandits under his command." The ogre said.

Tens of thousands of people, the population of a medium-sized city.

This number sounds shocking, but it is not surprising if it is made up of bandits and robbers scattered around the world.

The world is big, with many cities and a large population, so naturally there are many bandits and robbers.

"Tens of thousands of people... A group of people in this mental state gathered together is really troublesome." Blaze glanced at the bandits next to him. Rather than being vicious, these people were more like desperate criminals who were forced into a desperate situation.

Desperadoes are sometimes much more difficult to deal with than monsters.

"Since I've made up my mind to rob the Bandit King, I must take into account that the Bandit King will gather all the bandits as a legion... It's okay if they turn into monsters, but ordinary humans will be in trouble. I don't want to break my rules."

Neither the Ripper nor the Ogre intends to kill ordinary humans, and the same goes for Blaze. Those with power compete with each other, and ordinary humans should be judged by the law.

"By the way," the Ripper looked at the Bandit Demon and asked, "How does the Bandit King punish those who don't pay tribute?"

When the word "punishment" was mentioned, the bandit demon immediately showed fear on his face. His lips trembled and he squeezed out a few words with trembling hands.

"It is a whisper, a knowledge that is unknowable, and all who hear it go mad."

……

In an unknown environment, the gold coins here piled up into mountains, and gold tools and gem carvings were mixed in among them like garbage.

Standing at the foot of this mountain are extremely greedy bandits. Each of them has turned into a monster, with a level exceeding LV75, but no one dares to raise his head to take a look at the wealth in front of them.

Because there was a man lying on his side on the mountain, tossing a golden cup in his hand, with a look of boredom between his brows that frightened the bandits.

If this person gets bored, someone is going to suffer.

Finally, there was a click of liberation, and a man was dragged in crying. This was a member of the organization who had not turned in his confession, owed three installments, and now had lost the chance to make up for it.

The man's eyes lit up, he stood up and slid down the pouring ocean of gold coins, then happily jumped up to the member of the organization who owed him tribute.

"King of Bandits, I followed the rules. I followed the rules. I divided the spoils equally every time, but others hid them every time. It's not my fault!"

Those who owed tribute cried and begged for mercy, and even the bandits whose bodies and minds had turned into monsters turned their heads away at this moment.

That kind of talk will only make this person more motivated.

"Really? Are you a person who follows the rules? You're so good." The man held up the face of the person who owed tribute with great pity and rubbed it as if to praise him.

When the person who owed the tribute thought he was saved, the man smiled.

"But if you follow the rules, why do you want to be a bandit?"
