Chapter 26: No Martial Ethics

Gao Fei looked through the monster information collected in the astrolabe and learned that the unusually strong beast was called "Vicious Hyena". The challenge level of an ordinary hyena is only 1/8, while the challenge level of a ferocious hyena is level 1, which is equivalent to two cave-dwelling black bears!

After briefly estimating the enemy's strength, Gao Fei couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

He and Jiang Feng might not be able to handle five jackals plus an equal number of hyenas, not to mention that the enemy also has ruthless characters like Alpha and Dire Hyena, whose strength is far beyond that of ordinary jackals and hyenas.

"Gao Fei, there are too many enemies. It would be suicide to charge head-on. How about we retreat first?"

Seeing the fierce battle on the opposite side, Jiang Nuxia couldn't help but feel panicked.

Gao Fei thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Out of this oasis, there is an endless desert outside. Where else can we retreat?"

"Then what should we do..." Jiang Feng looked around anxiously, trying to find a tree hole or some other place to hide, but there was no suitable place for refuge in the grass.

At this time, the jackals by the spring had already taken up arms and drove hyenas to search for traces of the intruder.

Gao Fei knew that hyenas had a very keen sense of smell, and the footprints and scents left by him and Jiang Feng might not be hidden from them. If this continued, it would take at most ten minutes for them to be exposed and they would be under siege. By then it would be too late to escape.

The enemy is outnumbered and the power gap is huge. In this desperate situation, how can we break the situation?

Gao Fei thought about it, but in the end he could only use that move.

"There is no other way, just spend some money!"

"Krypton gold?" Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment and asked him tentatively, "You mean... spending money to buy props in the system store?"

"If we are not strong enough, we can only rely on equipment. Let's buy a few more smoke bombs and throw them out to create chaos. Then we will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters." Gao Fei smiled a little evilly.

"I remember the pepper smoke bombs sold in the system store cost 20 gold coins each. They were so expensive..." Jiang Nuxia's face was full of pain.

"No matter how expensive it is, it's not as valuable as your life. How can you become stronger without replenishing money?!" Gao Fei scolded her angrily, "Didn't we just make a small fortune when we explored the sunken ship before? It’s not like you can’t afford it, so why are you struggling!”

"It's affordable to buy it, but I think it's really hard to solve problems with this krypton gold method..."

Jiang Feng wrung his fingers, still unable to overcome this hurdle.

"Look at what you said! There are so many jackals and hyenas on the opposite side, and they gang up to bully us, is this fair? Why don't you ask the jackals, have you ever thought that you can bully a small number and win without force? Feel ashamed?”

"My hero Jiang! The opposite side is full of villains who kill without batting an eyelid and eat people without spitting out their bones. There is no need to talk about martial arts when dealing with this scumbag. Fighting fire with fire is the right way!"

Gao Fei's deception was quite effective, and he successfully helped Jiang Feng resolve his knot.

"You're right! Since there is an institution like a system store in the game, it shows that Tiangong does not object to players using money to solve problems flexibly."

While comforting himself, Jiang Feng looked up and found that the hyena's figure was approaching within a hundred feet. He quickly spent a burst of astrolabe energy to activate the pause mode, and the time in the game came to a standstill.

Players are not affected by the time stop, but they cannot control the character's actions during this period.

Gao Fei saw Jiang Feng pause the game and shouted cooperatively: "Canteen Spicy Sauce!"

Jiang Feng gave him a cute look: "Stop playing with this old joke and go buy smoke bombs!"

The two of them entered the system store separately and spent a lot of money!

Buy 10 20G (gold coins) pepper smoke bombs and a pair of 100G dust-proof mirrors.

Jiang Feng was thoughtful and even bought two towels, soaked them and covered his face to act as a simple gas mask to filter out the irritating smoke.

After the purchase, the two of them leaned on Basaka and Somo respectively, canceled the pause, took out the smoke bomb at the same time, unplugged the fuse, and threw it out with all their strength.

The smoke bomb landed on the ground with a popping sound, causing the Jackal to be alert and look down at the fist-sized black sphere at his feet.

Before they could figure out the situation, the smoke bomb exploded, and the alchemical substances underwent a violent chemical reaction, emitting a large amount of brown smoke with a strong pungent smell, choking the nearby jackals to cough and shed tears.

When Gao Fei saw this scene, he was secretly happy and threw two more smoke bombs.

Jiang Nuxia stopped talking about martial arts and happily threw smoke bombs until the thick smoke and dust covered the entire open space near the spring and spread towards them.

"It's almost time. Put on your dust goggles and mask and get ready!"

The haze released by the smoke bombs caused heavy obstruction, and the jackals and hyenas trapped in it had limited vision. They could barely see blurry shadows within 5 meters, and they were completely invisible further away.

What's even worse is that there is a lot of pepper mixed in the haze, which irritates the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose when inhaled, making you cough continuously, and the originally sharp sense of smell of jackals and hyenas has also become dull.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng's vision was also restricted by the smoke. Fortunately, they put on goggles and masks in advance, so they would not be as uncomfortable as the enemy.

Under the cover of smoke, the two men quietly emerged from the grass and approached the chaotic group of jackals.

Alpha, the leader of the jackals, suppressed a cough and stood in the crowd shouting, trying to urge his men to calm down.

Gao Fei had long disliked this guy. He followed his roar and approached him. He suddenly turned on "Rage" and his strength attribute soared to 23 points. He picked up the battle ax with both hands and pounced on the Jackal leader without saying a word. He successfully activated Raid!

Taking advantage of the opponent being caught off guard, Gao Feiwheel used his sharp ax to strike wildly, causing the jackal leader to bleed all over and howl in agony.

This guy's challenge level is level 2. Under normal circumstances, a high-flying level 3 berserker would be at best a 50-50 draw against him in a one-on-one duel. However, at this moment, he was in the right place at the right time and fought hard to kill him without even giving the opponent a chance to fight back. He fell to the ground, and with a final slash, he chopped off his dog's head!

The surrounding jackals heard their leader's screams in the thick fog, and hurriedly groped towards this side, trying to support him.

However, on the way, he was intercepted by Jiang Feng's monk, who first threw a flying knife and blinded the dog's eyes. The light figure came like a ghost, the sword light flickered in the smoke, and a series of bangs burst out when his fists and feet hit the flesh. With a dull thud, the two jackals fell to the ground and died one after another.

Gao Fei got rid of the jackal leader and killed a hyena blocking the way. Suddenly he heard the sad howling of the ferocious hyena from behind. When he looked back, not far away, a blurry figure was wielding a sword to fight with the ferocious hyena. .
