In the end, Old Monster was convinced by Bai Xiaowen and agreed not to report it for the time being.

However, Old Monster added another condition. If they found that the situation was different from Bai Xiaowen's judgment, they had to report it immediately without delay.

Bai Xiaowen had no objection to this condition.

After returning to the off-road vehicle, Bai Xiaowen asked Feng Kui to drive He Zhiqing back to the supply station and follow the supply station's transport team back to the base city.

The two assistants were worried and told Bai Xiaowen to be careful. They knew that when a hunter didn't allow his assistants to follow him, he would usually go deep into the wilderness to explore unknown dangers.

"Okay, now you decide. Where should we go?" Old Monster asked. "It's not easy to find a group of defeated soldiers in such a big wilderness."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and drew a cross on the military map with his dagger. "Here. Let's go."

Li Shuyi glanced at the cross and said in surprise, "Here? Isn't this where the big-eared monsters gather? "

Old Monster frowned thoughtfully.

…

Northwest of Wolf Valley, the big-eared monster camp.

Originally, this place was surrounded by mountains and rivers. The big-eared monsters had houses and fields and lived a happy life.

But now, the entire big-eared monster camp had been destroyed and replaced by a group of defeated soldiers wearing tattered armor and yellow turbans.

Behind a short cliff, Bai Xiaowen and the other two crouched and hid.

"You're right. Xiaowen, you're so smart. "Li Shuyi's eyes sparkled.

Bai Xiaowen chuckled, secretly pleased with himself.

"How did you guess?" Li Shuyi asked.

"Well, the Yellow Turban Army is known as the Yellow Turban Thieves. They don't do production. They do business without capital. If so many people want to survive in the wilderness, a camp is necessary. So, it's normal that the camp of the big-eared monsters, which is closest to Wolf Valley, would be the first target of the Yellow Turban Bandits, "Bai Xiaowen explained with a smile.

In fact, Bai Xiaowen was only seventy to eighty percent sure. However, even if he guessed wrong and the group of big-eared monsters was still there, what did it matter? Gathering grass to beat the hare, and taking care of the large-eared monsters along the way was also a profitable business.

Looking down at the Yellow Turban Army's soldiers moving about from time to time, Li Shuyi worriedly said, "There are so many defeated soldiers. I'm afraid it's beyond the scope of our abilities. What if there's a Yellow Turban Army general inside? "

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "You're thinking too much. There are less than a hundred Yellow Turban soldiers here. I'm afraid there isn't even a Dubo or Duwei, let alone a high-ranking officer. Look, there are no flags, no sentries, it's as messy as a refugee camp. If there's really a backbone in charge, how could things be so chaotic? "

The smoke in the camp rose from three different areas. Bai Xiaowen further speculated that there were probably only three elites among the Yellow Turban Army of less than a hundred people, and each of them had gathered a small group of defeated soldiers. That was why there was such a clear division.

"Even if there are less than a hundred Yellow Turban soldiers, we won't be able to fight them head-on without Uncle Yao's help. It's a good thing I prepared a small gift before I left. Let's give it to these defeated soldiers. "

Bai Xiaowen took out a glass bottle from his storage space. There was a white powder inside.

"What is this?" Li Shuyi asked curiously.

"Bone Softening Grass powder, a Grade 1 Level 3 poison. It's very effective against humanoid monsters and can slow their movements." Bai Xiaowen smiled sinisterly. He called over the Shadow Assassin, who had been invisible all this time, and gave her the bottle of powder. He then opened a mental link with her.

"Since you're going to poison them, why don't you use a more powerful poison?" Li Shuyi's words exposed her true nature. She wasn't some harmless Xiao Bai.

Seeing the Shadow Assassin disappear into the night once more, Bai Xiaowen said slowly, "Poisoning is also a skill. Although the kind of poison that will cause one's intestines to rot after eating is good, the smell and color are too obvious. One can tell there's something wrong with it with a single glance. Why would they still eat it? The good thing about the Bone Softening Grass powder is that it's colorless and odorless. "

Normal poisons caused very little damage to awakened ones, spirit creatures, and mutated beasts due to their psionic forcefields. However, psionic poisons that contained psionic particles were different. They were 100% effective.

One could only rely on one's physique to resist psionic poisons. The higher one's physique was, the less effective the poison would be, and the shorter the duration of the poison.

The defeated Yellow Turban soldiers already had their stats reduced by 20%. Most of them had less than five points in physique. A bottle of Grade 1 Level 3 psionic poison would definitely be effective.

Bai Xiaowen shared his vision with the Shadow Assassin. He opened a mental link and controlled the Shadow Assassin to sneak toward the camp.

The Shadow Assassin went around the camp and poisoned all the water tanks and buckets. The process was very smooth, and no one noticed.

"There's a well in the center of the camp?"

The shadow assassin under Bai Xiaowen's control weighed the remaining half of the powder in the bottle and chuckled in his heart. He silently walked to the well and opened the bottle cap, preparing to pour all the remaining powder into the well and wipe out the entire pot.

"Who goes there?"

This voice, accompanied by a series of violent coughs, came from the small stone house beside the well.

Then, an almost tangible spiritual power swept through the surroundings of the well.

Bai Xiaowen felt as if he had been targeted by a venomous snake. Shocked, he stopped what he was doing and stood motionless in his invisible state.

A short moment later, the feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake finally disappeared. It was obvious that the mysterious person living in the small stone house had stopped searching.

Bai Xiaowen remained motionless. After a few seconds, Ou Yangming's mental power swept over again and returned with a surprise attack.

This time, the search ended as quickly as it had come. After scanning twice and finding nothing, the mysterious person in the stone house gave up.

After standing in place for half an hour and confirming that there would be no more spiritual power searching, Bai Xiaowen carefully controlled the Shadow Assassin to pour the powder into the well. Then, he tiptoed away.

He didn't dare to enter the small stone house no matter what.

Behind the short cliff.

"Phew … that was close!"

Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes and gasped for breath. Then, he told the old demon about the small stone house beside the well.

The old demon narrowed his eyes and said, "The feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake was actually a spiritual scan. The mysterious person in the stone house is very likely a magic-type profession in the Yellow Turban Army, such as a warlock or necromancer. "

Li Shuyi said, "Is he very strong?"

The old demon shook his head. "He didn't see through the Shadow Assassin's invisibility, which means he's at most an elite. If it's a chief-tier creature, the spiritual scan's priority would also be four. He should be able to see through the Shadow Assassin's invisibility."
