Chapter 31: Treasure-stealing group, group fight and single fight

When Jiang Yi got off the carriage, all the passers-by looked over.

They stared at each other for a second, then looked away pretending not to care.

Jiang Yi found a place nearby and set up a tent.

This location seemed to have been a fruit stand on Canyon Road in the past, with abandoned wooden sheds and sunshade cloths full of holes that let rain water seep through.

A wooden pole with a street lamp hanging on it, emitting a dim light.

The relatively intact wooden sheds were occupied by pedestrians, so Jiang Yi could only find the most dilapidated spot, took out a three-meter-wide waterproof cloth from his backpack, and tied it to the top of the wooden shed.

Drive the two horses inside to shelter them from the rain.

He wiped the horse's hair dry with a cloth and struggled to make a fire on the ground.

The surrounding haystacks were all wet and there was no wood in the wooden box, so we could only rely on the emergency dry tinder and firewood in our backpack.

The horse was sneezing and a little anxious.

However, after Jiang Yi took out the fine fodder, he ate it in big mouthfuls.

No loss of appetite means the situation is not too serious.

Get some rest and you should be fine.

After finishing his work, Jiang Yi turned his gaze towards the pedestrians.

They are of different heights, different bodies, different body types. What they have in common is that they are all relatively young and have an indescribable temperament.

They were wearing hooded raincoats and gathered around a cart.

"It looks like they are in the same group!" Jiang Yi made a silent judgment.

Open the map and you will see the location of the fruit stall marked on it. It is just about to leave the canyon and will reach the Dawn Winery in a day’s journey.

The lightning that illuminated the darkness struck the earth.

The crackling electric current took a while to dissipate.

It was about to rain, but due to Tevarin's storm, the rain fell especially heavily and the thunder was especially frequent.

Jiang Yi felt very comfortable.

If there were no thunder, he would have wanted to roll in the puddle.

"Where are you going, brother?" A young man came over with a bottle of exquisitely packaged wine in his hand.

"Meeting is fate. Are you interested in having a couple of drinks? It can warm your body and drive away the cold!" Gregor smelled of alcohol as he opened his mouth, causing Jiang Yi to frown.

"No! I don't drink!" he refused.

"Would you like to have a drink?" Gregor advised. "We are workers at the Dawn Winery. Because of our good performance, we are often rewarded with a bottle or two of fine wine by Master Diluk."

"The wines here are all new products under development, and they are not available for purchase outside."

Jiang Yi didn't say anything.

Gregor felt that he was moved, and continued: "Look at the direction brother is heading. Such a large batch of goods is going to the Dawn Winery!"

"We're on the way here too. We've just finished what Master Diluc asked us to do and are preparing to return to the winery. Why don't we... go together later?"

"If you encounter Hillichuls and Slimes, there is strength in numbers, so there is no need to be afraid!"

Gregor tried to get close to Jiang Yi, sat next to him, talked about Diluk every other sentence, and showed off his status and fine wine.

"Oh! Yeah! Great!"

Jiang Yi nodded perfunctorily in response.

It’s just Diluk. His favorability is full, but I don’t play with him, I only play with beautiful girls.

After talking until his mouth was dry, Gregor realized that this kid was actually a taciturn person who refused to listen to anything.

Eye contact and signal to companions.

"Brother, you are too cold! We are the workers that Master Diluc of the Dawn Winery values ​​the most. If we go back together, I can help you speak up. If the master is interested in you and wants to meet you, you will have something to brag about in the future!"

"Just drink three cups as punishment, and we'll be friends!"

Greg took out three cups and handed them to Jiang Yi.

"Otherwise, if you deliver goods on a rainy day and something goes wrong, and our colleagues from the Dawn Winery make things difficult for you and deduct the price, we won't help you!"

Jiang Yi listened to him chattering for a while.

The carrot and the stick finally showed their weakness.

He raised his head and stared at the three glasses of rich wine.

"Come on! Drink!" Gregor smiled and was about to hug Jiang Yi's shoulders.

But he found that the other party raised his thin arm, as hard as an iron pestle, to block his hand.

“The wine smells good!”

"pity……"

Jiang Yi shook his head.

The protection of the spring water allows him to have the same affinity and sensitivity towards human-processed beverages as he does towards natural water.

These three glasses of wine are obviously different.

One cup is spiked.

Whether it is poison, a knockout drug, or a laxative, you will know only after you drink it.

Jiang Yi was not afraid because water would take away all diseases, but he didn't want to try it in such a dangerous place.

"If you drink this glass of wine, I will be your friend!"

Jiang Yi pointed at the glass of spiked wine, smiling but speaking in a cold tone.

Greg's face changed. Was it a coincidence? How did he see that?

"Good boy, if you don't accept my toast, then you'll have to drink a forfeit! My brother said so many good things, but you didn't listen to a word of it, right?"

"Why don't you just take a good sleep? Why do you have to use force on us?"

All the people around him suddenly gathered around him, looking greedily at his high-end alchemy backpack and the goods on the carriage.

Jiang Yi sat where he was, stroked the horse, and looked at the twelve figures coldly.

"The Treasure Stealing Group? Are they not just thieves, but robbers as well?"

"You figured it out!" A sturdy man laughed grimly, shrugged his shoulders, crossed his hands, and his bones creaked.

"Boy, you have good vision and courage, but I don't know if your strength is also that..."

Before he could finish his words, his fist struck down with tremendous force.

“Heavy punch!”

the strong man yelled.

Jiang Yi, carrying a backpack, nimbly turned his head to avoid it.

The treasure-hunting group members around did not take action immediately and rushed forward. Instead, they stood at the edge of the shed, blocking Jiang Yi's retreat and making a fuss.

"Don't worry, Liyue boy. We only rob people of their money. We don't kill people or rape them."

"Hand over the money obediently, or you will be beaten up."

Jiang Yi raised his hand to test the other party's strength and whether he had the blessing of the holy relic.

"Jumping fist!"

The sturdy man saw his punch being blocked by Jiang Yi.

Left hand blast.

"Two consecutive punches!"

Two quick punches, shaking the air.

The sturdy man's lower body is stable and his punches come like boulders.

"Tai Chi, share the watermelon!"

Jiang Yi took a step forward and once again relied on his superhuman reaction to avoid two punches.

When his left fist was thrown out but not retracted, he suddenly grabbed the opponent's wrist with his right hand and pushed him towards himself.

At the same time, the head dropped and the body thrust forward.

His left hand turned into a knife, shining with green light, and struck the opponent's heart.

"Since you don't kill anyone, I will spare your life."

The palms are slightly offset.

Powerfully through the atrium.

The sturdy man felt a tightness in his chest, blood circulation was blocked, and his eyes popped out like fish.

"First!"

The right leg swept across, breaking the bones and knocking the strong man down.

Jiang Yi stood up, like a tiger out of a cage, showing his edge.

"You are not Hillicul thugs! At most, you are Hilliculers!"

With a step, he pushed away the weakest member of the treasure-hunting group and rushed into the rain.

The heavy rain fell on my body and it seemed that my clothes were wet, but in fact, under the protection of the spring water, my whole body was dry.

In battle, we must make full use of the geographical and natural conditions.

The rain will blur the other person's vision, wet their clothes, make them slightly restrained, and consume more energy.

Instead, Jiang Yi will receive continuous mild treatment.

"Today, a one-on-one duel! I'll fight twelve!" Jiang Yi did not draw his sword. As they were both human beings, he would not take the initiative to attack unless the opponent used weapons to kill people.

This empathy is the restraining rules he formulated and his final respect for life after he understood himself and killed hills and monsters.
