Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

Before reaching the outer perimeter, the group put the horse down and walked over.

After crossing the last mountain ridge and searching for a while, the outline of the abandoned manor began to emerge.

"Go that way," Bai Li instructed.

After finally managing to get a little closer by bending over, Dang Shousu and the others decided not to go any further.

"It's too quiet!" Dang Shousu said in a low voice.

Bai Li nodded in agreement.

Compared to the previous two times, there were far fewer people visible this time, and there were practically no people patrolling in the open.

But this only makes things seem strange.

The group split into several teams, drank invisibility potions, and crept inside.

After walking for a short while, Bai Li called out, "Liu Er, stop! Open your hand and block Dang Shousu and the others behind you."

Although Liu Er was somewhat puzzled, he immediately did as he was told and reached out to stop him.

The group stopped.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Bai Li floated between the two trees, flicked at the thing in the middle, and of course, his hand passed right through it.

"Look, isn't there something between those two trees over there?"

Liu Er squinted his eyes.

In the darkness, two trees stood there, their branches swaying in the wind.

He saw nothing.

Seeing this, Bai Li insisted, "Come closer, about two fists' distance, and take a closer look."

Liu Er did as instructed and stared at it for a while longer.

This time, he finally noticed something was wrong!

Between the two trees, there was something extremely thin lying there; it was a hemp rope so thin that it almost blended into the night.

Liu Er followed the rope and looked all the way up, and found that there were several copper bells tied to it.

If he had taken just one more step forward, his arm would have touched it.

"If you had taken another step, the bell would have rung," Bai Li said calmly.

In observer mode, Bai Li can see invisible units, so she was able to discover that Liu Er and the others almost ran into them.

Fortunately, in observer mode, the invisible units are semi-phantom, so he doesn't have to worry about getting a sty.

That deserves a thumbs up, great feature!

"It seems they've learned their lesson. Perhaps they vaguely guessed that we're blind, so they simply stopped trying to see us."

"It's simple to let it alert you whenever it touches something. But in the dark, finding such a thin rope is really not easy."

In Licheng, Baili, carrots can be produced by farmers using bone meal, and can be supplied in unlimited quantities.

After several years of treatment, the villagers' nighttime visibility has improved considerably, so they can see more at night than before without torches.

But that's only slightly better; at most, you're not blind at night. But seeing these alarm devices in the dark requires a lot of effort.

"Hmm, how about I go back and get a bottle of night vision potion?" Bai Li stroked his chin, thinking.

and many more!

I feel like,

There's no need to go through all that trouble.

Then, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said in annoyance, "Hey, why did I go through all this trouble?"

I am Steve Bai Li!

Bai Li quickly adjusted the settings and turned the brightness up to the maximum.

Its daybreak!

The faint moonlight was magnified countless times, and the mountains and forests, which were originally only vague outlines, became crystal clear.

Bai Li could see everything around him clearly.

He blinked, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "This is much better than night vision potion."

With this perspective, there is little difference between night and day.

Bai Li looked up at the valley.

The scene before him left him somewhat silent.

The valley, which had been dark and seemingly empty, was suddenly illuminated and became lively.

Figures were hidden everywhere, behind the earthen slopes, beside the rocks, densely packed together.

There were also people lying on the ground just a few meters away, and you could easily step on them if you weren't careful.

Bai Li's lips twitched.

Good heavens, these aren't sentries at all! They've almost buried the entire valley.

He looked at the Later Jin sentries hidden in the shadows with a strange expression.

Without this viewpoint, and with the cover of night, these sentries would be very difficult to spot.

But now it's like playing hide-and-seek with me. Instead of hiding, the other side is covering their heads with cardboard boxes, as if they're afraid I won't find them.

This further proves that the people inside are truly extraordinary.

Bai Li stared at the valley, pondered for a moment, and then continued to direct: "See that crooked tree? Go to its left, it's clean over there."

"Take a few steps to the left and up, that's right!"

"Go around that patch of weeds."

……

Along the way, guided by Bai Li, the group kept changing directions.

Only after Liu Er got closer did he realize that those seemingly ordinary places were full of hidden mechanisms.

Everywhere there were thin strings with wind chimes hanging from them, some even more discreetly.

Several dead branches were scattered on the ground, but Bai Li could tell from a closer look that they had been tampered with, with broken tiles pressed under the branches.

When someone steps on them, the tiles press against each other and make a crisp sound.

There are countless types of operations.

Thankfully, he didn't experience the negative effect of dry eyes, otherwise his eyes would have been exhausted from the journey.

But there was no other way. Going back to get them night vision solution would require setting up a relay device, which wasn't appropriate right now since we were on patrol.

I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands!

Under Bai Li's command, the group bypassed the guards and approached the camp.

But before Bai Li could even breathe a sigh of relief...

Everyone stopped simultaneously.

Bai Li also frowned.

Several hunting dogs were seen crouching near the entrances and exits of the village, occasionally raising their heads and sniffing lightly.

Biological control!

This is the real trouble!

Invisibility potions can make one invisible, but these dogs don't even need to see them. As long as they smell the scent of strangers, they might start barking and alert people nearby.

Although it's highly likely that it was just a lucky guess, all the warning methods that could be thought of were implemented.

But releasing the dogs really works!

"This is really troublesome; the defense is quite tight."

But Bai Li was not without options.

It can't fly in the sky, and it can't walk on the ground.

Then dig!

It's time to go back to my old profession.

Everyone carried a set of wood, and the leader carried a worktable. The remaining two carried a set of iron blocks.

Bai Li found an extremely secluded spot, far away from the sentries, so that the sound of digging wouldn't be heard.

Immediately afterwards, he had Liu Er take out his iron sword and begin to tentatively shovel soil, stopping as soon as he made a little noise.

Bai Li secretly observed the situation of the sentries, and seeing that they had not discovered any movement here, Liu Er continued digging down.

Once everyone was inside, Liu Er immediately blocked the entrance, making it impossible for any sound to be heard.

Then Bai Li took out workbenches, wood, and iron blocks from the backpacks of the villagers.

They quickly crafted an iron shovel and then put everything back.

Once you use a shovel, the digging speed increases significantly.

As for how to dig, that's fine too!

Bai Li was currently possessing Liu Er's body, so no matter how much they dug, the hole wouldn't collapse.

"I miss it. It's been so long since I dug, and it's even better watching someone else do it." Bai Li said with a big smile, staring at Liu Er wielding his shovel.

Liu Er: "..."

He remained silent, but swung the shovel even more vigorously.

Bai Li didn't stay idle either; he immediately crawled out of the ground to check the situation in the camp.

The hunting dogs that had been guarding the door were still lying there, their noses twitching every now and then.

After all, once you're below ground level, there are several meters of soil that block sound and create a stench, which could alert the hunting dogs in the camp.

Bai Li couldn't help but wonder if these dogs had some special abilities.

Liu Er was still wielding a shovel below.

Bai Li was gradually dragged deeper into the village.

The situation inside the village is completely different from that outside.

The outer perimeter was almost entirely filled with hidden sentries, giving it the feel of a silent wilderness.

But once inside the manor, I felt a completely different kind of tension.

A group of soldiers was patrolling along the courtyard wall when another group passed by.

The intervals between them were not large, and the patrol routes intersected with each other. Compared to the haste of the second assassination attempt, these people had obviously set up fixed posts in advance.

At the same time, there were also some sentry posts that were obviously added later.

Bai Li continued looking inside.

He also discovered that although these patrolling soldiers were wearing ordinary military uniforms, there were quite a few Jurchens mixed in with them wearing fine armor and carrying exquisite weapons.

Several of them were clearly not ordinary soldiers; they were accompanied by close followers, and when they spoke, the surrounding soldiers would subconsciously make way for them.

The further in you go, the higher the level of security becomes.

"This time we've really stirred up a hornet's nest."
