Chapter 24: The Wretched Craftsman Fu

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, and they all watched the development of the situation with bated breath, especially Fang Lin. Because he was not in a fighting state, he did not use his mental power to control the elite fat man. Fang Lin was afraid of the cruel fat man. The man casually killed the skinny craftsman, this guy is indispensable in this battle! He was busy mobilizing his mental power in the hope of saving him, but who knew something shocking happened? The elite fat man mumbled something dissatisfied in his throat for a while, then he lay down obediently, and the four blue-clothed minions saw It was quite difficult for Craftsman Fu to climb the shoulders of the fat elite man, but he actually came forward to help, and even carried and helped the arrogant Craftsman Fu up.

"Uh..." Fang Lin said blankly for a long time: "It seems that they are very close to each other."

"Very compatible?!"

"It's very close."

"It's really a good understanding."

"Everyone, let's hurry up."

"Get on your way."

"…….."

Half a quarter of an hour later, a large, fast-flowing river appeared in the field of vision ahead. The rocks in the river were rugged, and the water was deep and fast. Amid the rumbling sound of the water, a brand new bridge was vaguely visible in the mist. You can also see Cao Jun's flag waving above.

When Ah Hua got here, he didn't dare to go any further. Fang Lin didn't embarrass him and just let him go. Then he sent Green, the most agile person, to investigate. The rest were hiding in the jungle. Not long after, Green turned around with a solemn expression, shook his head and said:

"There are several patrols before approaching the bridge. Judging from the camps around the bridge, at least there will be no less than 800 soldiers guarding the bridge. What we have seen is that the soldiers include yellow-armored spearmen, red-turbaned archers, fat Throwing pitcher. We haven’t found any generals like Zhao Xiong yet.”

"This may be an unprecedented hard battle, at least more difficult than the previous one!" Green stared at Fang Lin's eyes and concluded word by word.

Fang Lin smiled bitterly. After carefully thinking about the nearby terrain, there was no place to set up an ambush, so I could only agree. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that after killing the strange snake last night, an unidentified prop dropped from the key: called the strange snake? ? ? . He took it over for everyone to identify. There was no need to say anything more about Lao Hu and Green. They definitely didn't know. Huang Zhong looked up and down for a long time, and suddenly let out a long "oh".

This sigh made a group of people stare at him closely with unlimited expectations. As a result, after Old Man Huang finished, he simply shook his head:

"I have no idea."

Everyone was stunned, and Lao Hu shouted in a dumbfounded voice:

"You old man doesn't recognize it, oh what?"

Huang Zhong said patiently: "

"You have just returned from the Western Regions. You don't understand our customs in the Central Plains. When we express regrets, we have to say "poor" as usual."

Lao Hu said doubtfully:

"Is there still such a thing?"

But he said this to Fang Lin. Although Fang Lin is well-read and has a strong memory, he cannot know everything. He spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

At this time, Craftsman Fu, who was riding on the shoulders of the fat elite man, suddenly jumped down and whispered:

"Can I show it to the villain? Maybe the villain knows it!"

Fang Lin felt happy and hurriedly handed it over. The craftsman rubbed the unknown item, and after a while he said very tiredly:

"I know what this is."

Everyone was surprised. Look, is that a strange snake? ? ? There are already quite clear and intuitive explanations of things:

"Alien snake venom: B-level props, medium quality, can be applied to weapons. Lasts 120 minutes. Effect: There is a 50% chance of poisoning the enemy. After the enemy is poisoned, the movement speed is reduced by 50%. The duration is 15 seconds. All The resistance is reduced by 80%, lasting for 10 seconds, and the number of uses is 2/2.

Both Lao Hu and Green seemed quite disappointed. This item was indeed useful, but its improvement in overall combat effectiveness was relatively limited. But Fang Lin thought for a while and suddenly said:

"General Huang, what does this 80% reduction in resistance mean?"

Huang Zhong was stunned and explained:

"It means weakening the enemy's resistance to abnormal conditions. For example, if I shoot a heart-piercing arrow, even if it is blocked by the enemy, he will be blown away by a foot. After his resistance is weakened, he will probably be blown away. Two feet away. Or even farther. Another example is Brother Zhenting's (Fang Lin made up the word for Lao Hu)'s skill of slapping the ground with both hands, which can stun enemies within a radius of 78 feet for 3 seconds. After that, it is very likely that you will faint for more than 6 seconds.”

Fang Lin took a deep breath and said calmly:

"The outcome of our battle may very well depend on the venom of this strange snake! It's still early anyway, and even if there's no favorable terrain around here that's convenient for us to hold on to, we'll just dig one out!"

But before he finished speaking, the nightmare mark suddenly sounded a prompt:

"The elite tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao's army from Xuchang will arrive in one and a half hours."

"The elite tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao Jun from Xuchang will arrive in one and a half hours."

Fang Lin and Hu Gelin looked at each other in confusion. Everyone knew that if this elite group of Cao Jun came to join Li Dian, he and his party would have no chance of winning, so time would be even more pressing!

Fang Lin gritted his teeth and said:

"The plan must be changed. Let's prepare for war, but we still have to do things step by step. General Huang, after you get on the horse, your range should be the longest. You will be responsible for leading a group of Cao's troops here. After we get rid of this group of people, we will face the enemy's assault."

Green suddenly said:

"We can fight and retreat at the same time. Slowly consume the strength of these guys on the opposite side. Finally, wait until it is almost done before attacking."

Fang Lin shook his head and said:

"This won't work. First of all, if we fight and retreat at the same time, it will be easier for Cao's army with superior forces to divide and surround us. And the speed of Fu's craftsman is too slow, and he can't keep up with our speed at all. If we send an elite fat man to carry him, there will be one less main combat force in front. Secondly, once this place is attacked, Li Dian will definitely lead reinforcements to come! So time is very precious for us, and we must fight quickly!"

The first point alone has made Green speechless. After seeing the skills that this craftsman can identify, not to mention Green, even the rough old Hu is unwilling to give up on him as cannon fodder. Not to mention his abnormal ability to continuously recover physical strength after operating the wooden ox, this identification alone is a very rare special attribute.

The second point Fang Lin said is more important, and it also caused a small sensation in this small group. Huang Zhong was surprised and asked:

"Are you planning to kill Li Dian here?"

Fang Lin answered with certainty:

"Of course. Only a fool would rush directly into the military camp that Cao's army has been operating for a long time! Unless I have a sufficiently elite army! No! Even if I really have an army, I won't go! That place is not a life-or-death situation, it is basically a death-or-death situation!"

When Lao Hu heard the word "fool", his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Although it was inconvenient to pat his head, he slapped Fang Lin on the back with force and shouted exaggeratedly:

"Ah! What a big mosquito, I will help you kill it, don't thank me, it's what I should do."

Fang Lin was immediately slapped and his face turned pale and he coughed continuously. Green stared at Lao Hu angrily and said:

"What are you doing?"

Lao Hu laughed "innocently":

"I'm helping him swat mosquitoes. I'm helping him!"

"What do you mean?" Green frowned.

Fang Lin smiled, but his killing intent was already exposed:

"We will charge for a while, then fight to the death, and finally fight at the bridgehead. We have to finish everything within one hour! We only have this one hour!"

"But..." Green wanted to ask, but Fang Lin waved his hand vigorously: "We don't have much time to delay, believe me, everyone get ready, General Huang, please get on your horse and get ready, wait until we get behind that small slope and lead Cao's army over. This battle... we will win!"

…………..

In fact, this place is a hilly mixed woodland terrain, which is a great test for the knight's riding skills, but Huang Zhong rode on the rugged path, but he seemed to be at ease, as if he was galloping past like a gust of wind, directly smeared the poison on the bow, bent down to string, and shot an arrow directly! (Note: After the bow is coated with poison, the arrows will automatically have all the properties of the poison.)

Huang Zhong's poisonous dragon iron bow originally had poisonous properties, and after being coated with the venom of the strange snake, the power was even stronger. It shot two yellow-armored spearmen from a distance. The skin of these two poor guys turned purple-black, which is unique to poisoning. During the chase, their physical strength also dropped sharply due to poisoning. The two nearby patrol teams, totaling about 20 people, immediately sent several people to report the news, and the rest rushed over, just like a wasp whose nest was poked, and they quickly surrounded them in different directions.
