Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 88 Sneaking into the Village~
【Black Wind Stronghold (Blue)】This is the main dungeon to farm when you're around level 20.

Basically, all players whose birthplace is Liaodong have run this dungeon, more or less.

Even those who don't farm much will need two or three runs, while those who farm a lot, such as players with a strong need for certain dungeon loot, might need to farm more than ten or twenty times.

Players have been playing this game so much they're sick of it, resulting in a huge variety of strategies and guides.

There are five or six different ways to complete the strategy.

There are two main types of advice: one is to "enter the village quietly and don't fire a shot."

Another option is "Protect Athena Mode"!
The first method involves utilizing the characteristics of the squad members to stealthily advance little by little, which reduces the pressure considerably.

However, it places high demands on team members, since not all players understand or are skilled in infiltration and assassination.

The latter is positional warfare, which involves directly capturing the gate of the stockade!
This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, both at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside.

If the squad is good at positional warfare, they can hold the gate of Black Wind Village on the mountainside and wait for the bandits to attack, thus gaining the upper hand.

The rest, like "decapitation mode," "monster skipping tactics," and "extreme solo play," are all rather flashy.

To be honest, Chen Xiuxian initially planned to play the extreme solo mode or the decapitation mode, which was to use his own characteristics to walk a tightrope to solo the dungeon, or to sneak in and use the mechanism to kill only the boss.

He didn't realize he had teammates; he thought it was a solo dungeon like the Calabash Brothers dungeon.

It seems that this cross-world random team-up mechanism still needs to be explored.

……

The five-person team also had a brief discussion about how to run the dungeon.

First of all, everyone is good at positional warfare.

That strategist teammate, General Tian Ce, wielding a long spear and armor, is undoubtedly skilled in charging into battle, fighting on the battlefield, and taking on multiple opponents single-handedly.

That sword cultivator, Mo Yongquan, is strong in solo combat, after all, flying swords have great destructive power, but they consume a lot of energy and are not durable enough for players in their twenties.

That quiet girl is basically a cheerleader; she's useful, but definitely not many.

However, Chen Xiuxian and his old chess teammate, Old Li, are both summoner-style players.

This group of little sea, land, and air sprites, along with eight mechanical puppets, can guard the gate of this mountain stronghold firmly!

With more manpower, after holding off several waves of low-level thugs who are about to die, the third and second leaders will bring their elite squads to attack, and then we'll fight the boss...

However, Chen Xiuxian still put forward a new suggestion.

“I have another trick up my sleeve; I’m good at infiltration. I can go in first and try to kill a few, and if we’re discovered, I’ll lure the monsters over, while you guys wait and see…”

Chen Xiuxian's teammates readily agreed to his suggestion.

One of the key features of this game is that it doesn't have particularly clear rules or paths.

There are no specific professions. It's all up to the player—experience, luck, and choices.

Therefore, the abilities of the players are also very diverse.

Everyone is used to teammates having some inexplicable abilities and using these inexplicable abilities to plan tactics.

Since this "unconventional casual summoner" is going to try infiltration, let him give it a shot.

This will buy some time for the reinforcement of the village gate's defensive positions.

Of course, first they have to take down the gate of the mountain stronghold.

But that's not difficult.

A bat spirit transformed back to its original form, and a palm-sized bat flew into the gatehouse of the mountain stronghold.

The gate of the mountain stronghold resembled a city gate tower, but it was mostly a timber structure, consisting of rammed earth and round logs.

But in order to completely block the mountain path at dangerous points, it was built quite extensively.

It is over five meters high and over six meters wide, with the doorway firmly blocked by a log door.

The gatehouse is a gate tower, extending to the steep mountainside on the left and a 30-meter drop cliff on the right. The narrow path, only a little over three meters wide, is completely blocked by this gate tower.

No matter how many people come, you can only have a maximum of three people rushing up at the same time.

With a dozen or so small fry stationed here, even three or five hundred men couldn't break through!
Not to mention there are bearded sentries hiding on that side of the mountain. If someone attacks the mountain, there will be a team lying in ambush on the top of the mountain. When that happens, they will throw stones and logs down, and there will be nowhere to hide. They will all be turned into mincemeat!
……

The bat spirit has a skill called "Scout (Blue)", which allows it to silently scout the terrain and the number of people using sound waves, and also to obtain some information.

For example, the layout of this city gate tower is somewhat like the beacon tower of the Great Wall, with six bandit henchmen stationed inside, all of whom are level five to seven.

Four of them were fast asleep on the tattered bed even in broad daylight, while the other two were just spacing out. This gatekeeper job is basically just slacking off!
Chen Xiuxian dispatched six wasps and two bat spirits to fly up and kill the enemy.

Those six wasps were all as long as an arm, and unlike the bat spirits that had taken on human forms, they were humanoid bats. The wasp spirits were just giant wasps.

But that needle was a full twenty centimeters long, and the end was slightly curved, which looked terrifying!
The two bat spirits, one wielding a fork and the other a spear, could both fly and even speak human language.

As instructed by Chen Xiuxian, the two bat spirits went up and attacked the bandit henchman who was closest to the alarm bell on the city gate tower.

Two bat spirits, one with a fork and the other with a spear, one in front and one behind, suddenly flew in through the window more than four meters high and pounced on the bandit henchman. Two bloody holes appeared instantly!

The bandit henchman screamed and spat out blood as he was instantly killed by two monsters that were almost ten levels higher than him.

Another bandit henchman, who was still conscious, saw two humanoid bats dressed in leather armor stab his comrade to death. He screamed "Oh my god!" and almost fell to the ground.

Four bandits who were sleeping soundly in another "bedroom" were suddenly awakened. As soon as they sat up, three wasps shot their poisonous stingers at them through the window!

Two more screams rang out. The first person had been pierced by four needles in his arms, thighs, and chest. His face was turning ashen, and death was imminent.

These wasps don't have a very strong direct attack power. If you rely solely on their stingers for physical damage, unless they hit a vital spot, it would probably take seven or eight, or even a dozen, stings to kill a bandit henchman who is seven or eight levels lower than them.

But this stinger is poisonous!

After several applications of the poison, the bandit henchman was rendered incapacitated. Although he didn't die, he was already waiting to die.

Another bandit henchman was shot in the thigh and screamed in agony, clutching his thigh and tearing at his neck.

The knitting needle is so thick, it can go in more than ten centimeters, and it even has a hook at the end. After it goes in, it will wriggle on its own. It hurts so much!

However, he didn't feel the pain for long. In the next three to five seconds, three or four more needles were injected into his body.

He followed the unfortunate man in front of him, lying on the ground waiting to die.

The three wasps in front retreated because they had run out of stingers and needed some time to recover.

However, three other birds have already flown over to replace them.

The main problem is that winters are cold in Liaodong, so the windows aren't opened very wide, and the three wasps are finding it difficult to maneuver.

This also saved the remaining two bandit henchmen.

These two are clearly smarter, more alert, and more experienced.

I woke up the moment I heard the screams from outside, rolled over and grabbed my knife. Then I saw a huge red and black hornet outside the window starting to spray its stinger.

They witnessed firsthand how the two unlucky guys in front of them blocked most of the tail needles and fell to the ground, while the rest were stuck in the wall and the bed.

They made the same decision—they both rolled out of bed and hid under the bed frame.

They discovered that although the needle was thin and poisonous, it was not very powerful, far less effective than a bow and arrow, and could not penetrate the bed board.

This is indeed the case.

Three wasps then sprayed bullets at the spot where the two were hiding, sending over twenty stingers flying and leaving the bed frame riddled with holes like a hedgehog. However, the two people under the bed were unharmed.

Just as they exchanged a glance, preparing to rush out to sound the alarm...

Two bat spirits carrying blood-dripping spears walked in from the outer room.

The two bandit henchmen outside have already been stabbed to death!
