How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

"Lord Fox, it will take time to forge a wood-chopping knife as you requested..."

"Stop talking nonsense. It'll only take about half a day anyway. If it really doesn't work, I can lower my standards. As long as you can puncture the internal organs, that's fine!"

"Lord Fox, do you remember Lord Momonga, who registered as an adventurer here before? He once sold an extremely high-quality weapon at the market. Although it couldn't be enchanted, it was incredibly hard and sharp, and the Adventurers' Guild bought it..."

"I want this thing..." Miss Fox was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Ainz Ooal Gown had sprinkled some powder on an ordinary painting, which she had taken to decompose and produce small crystals.

She had never received any small crystals when breaking down items before, but breaking down Ainz Ooal Gown's items did...

"If Lady Fox is interested, our Adventurers' Guild can add this weapon to the reward and waive the cost of forging the woodcutter's axe, how about that?" The waiter pressed his advantage as soon as he saw that Miss Fox was interested.

After all, this Steel-rank adventurer is very capricious; if he doesn't want to, he simply doesn't, and there's almost no possibility of bargaining. Now that this possibility has arisen, for the sake of the Adventurers' Guild's future development, we definitely need to try and win him over.

"This is merely to give you time to complete a subjugation quest while you wait for the woodcutter's axe to be forged. I believe that as a steel-class adventurer, you are capable of standing up to Brian Angraus."

"Of course, our Adventurers' Guild can also hire another team of adventurers to help you fend off the other bandits."

"Now start calling people to forge woodcutting knives," Miss Fox said seriously as she pulled up a chair and sat down.

Regardless, she still wanted to try this possibility of producing small crystals. After all, her alchemy secondary profession relied entirely on herbs, and she would probably have to search the entire world for herbs and experiment with them one by one to grind out all the potion recipes.

The waiter's expression immediately brightened: "No problem, Lord Fox, we will provide you with the rest of the information as much as possible!"

Chapter 72 A Little Lack of Sense of Direction

"So this is the bandits' hideout..."

Hidden on the hilltop, with a lot of trees blocking the view, you might not notice the entrance to the cave unless you have a very sharp eye.

Unfortunately, these bandits were a bit stupid. They guarded their own gates openly without any attempt at concealment, and their uniforms were not uniform, with brightly colored clothes that were very conspicuous.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but the Adventurers' Guild staff were right about this place," said the hamster holding the map beside him.

Well, Miss Fox's sense of direction isn't the best, after all...

"Speaking of which, the current situation seems somewhat familiar," Miss Fox said, puffing out her chest, tilting her head back, and stroking her chin.

"I feel like I've wandered into some weird movie set, with blatant bandits and a giant female elf adventurer who's been sent on a mission to hunt them down."

"Isn't this just a common setting used by Gusha!?"

Hmm, Miss Fox doesn't know what "Gu Sha" is either (turns her head away).

However, in recent years, elves have started to take the lead. They used to be the victims, the targets of exploitation, but now it seems like elves are the ones draining their customers dry? Stealing business from succubi, and so on...

Even if we lose, we might still be able to wipe out the bandits?

This seems feasible, after all, Miss Fox has a resurrection passive skill. However, death is meaningless if you don't force your brain to calm down with your hands!

"Another problem is that I'm the only female lead right now!" This immediately made things even more... boring!

"What did you say, fox?" the big hamster asked, looking puzzled.

"No, it's nothing." Miss Fox said seriously, as always.

"Speaking of which, the Adventurers' Guild said they would commission an adventurer team to assist us, but I don't think I've seen that team."

Upon hearing this, the large hamster twitched its nose a few times; "There's no other human scent nearby, no one has been here and no one is coming. Should we wait a bit?"

Is Akakura really that good?!

Miss Fox was surprised and uncertain. Discovering that the hamster could read maps before setting off was already a huge surprise, but she never expected that the hamster could also use its nose to detect things!

We've snagged a gem!

"No need to wait, this mission doesn't need to wait. We'll sneak around here, and when we encounter that Brian, we'll take him down!"

Despite the adventurer team's talk, Miss Fox didn't care at all whether they came or not, or whether they could help.

In traditional storylines, these hastily assembled teams are almost always the ones vying for credit but actually hindering the fight. If they are defeated, they might even join forces with the bandits to increase the team's damage output.

The statement is anything but exciting. It was Miss Fox's statement.

"Come on, A-Cang, let me row the stealthy oars and become the best Assassin!" Miss Fox does know a little about assassination.

"Oh!!" the big hamster exclaimed in unison!

"Hurrah!!" Miss Fox roared!

"Hurrah!!!" the big hamster roared along!

"Alright, stop shouting, or someone will find out, A-Cang."

"But we've already been discovered."

"Who's over there?! Come out here!" With a flash of light, the bushes where Miss Fox and the giant hamster were hiding were cut open.

Several bandits armed with cold weapons quickly surrounded the giant hamster.

Why would monsters appear in a place like this?

"I thought there was a woman's voice just now, so why is there only one monster?"

"Watch out, everyone! There are still enemies lurking around!?" The bandit had barely finished speaking when he felt something pressed against his neck, startling him so much that he shrank back—only to find that a hand had grabbed his head!

"You know too much~" A gentle voice whispered in the bandit's ear, but the bandit felt no warmth at all; he only wanted to shout in his rough voice:

"Enemy, ah—"

Cut in two with one stroke, like...

"Come on, Akane, let's start our stealth!" Having already used the bandit's head three times, Miss Fox still felt uneasy after dropping it. Even though she had managed to avoid getting soaked by the stench of the liquid as she chopped down the corpse, her eyelids were still twitching! She needed more!

"I need more Shark King experience! Bandits, give me some experience points!"

This will be a massacre!

Yes, a literal massacre.

From the hamster's perspective, the bandits surrounding it were in a state of panic, suddenly splitting up one by one, as if something unseen was taking their heads off one by one. If it weren't broad daylight, the atmosphere of terror would have been tens of thousands more intense.

"This isn't stealth at all..." the big hamster wondered.

Although it couldn't see Miss Fox's actions, it could tell from the high heel marks on the ground that Miss Fox would take care of one person and then walk straight to the nearest one, and then take care of the next one. There was no such thing as taking detours, hiding, or assassinating one by one. She was just cutting melons and vegetables, cutting one after another.

Is this considered stealth?

"Of course it counts, A-Cang." After dealing with the last bandit who was so frightened that his lower body was shooting wildly, Miss Fox, who was still free of the stench of liquid, swung her light sword, her face slightly pale.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Miss Fox wasn't satisfied. It's just that she ate too much shark meat at once and was a little too full. The mixture of three or four different smells made her feel nauseous.

"Ah Cang, the so-called stealth means that all things are false and all things are permitted!"

"What do you mean?"

"This is how I understand it: everything is illusory. Killing everything you see is the perfect stealth," Miss Fox said seriously, and then left the slaughterhouse.

The hamster looked around for a moment, then climbed up the tree and used its jumping motion to avoid getting the strange liquid on its body.

"Fox, fox, where are we not allowed to bury it?"

"Bury it, bury it, don't rush me." After all, it's a level 15 pathetic elf, a weakling who would go limp if slapped hard on the butt.

Manipulating the earth was quite taxing for Miss Fox. She felt completely drained, weak all over, and light on her feet, as if she were dreaming and had reached the pinnacle.

"Hmm~" At this moment, you need a bottle of MP potion to sweep away the discomfort, fill up the emptiness, and be yourself again!

This feeling!

It feels just like a shrine maiden at a daytime shrine, outwardly respectful but inwardly elegant, managing to complete the final ritual flawlessly without being noticed! It's incredibly addictive!

Well, okay, it's not really an addiction. It's just that when I run out of mana, I just drink a few mana potions to get it back.

It's like waking up naturally after a long, tiring day and then having a good, restful sleep! (A proper metaphor)

"Alright, Acang, there are still many bandits waiting for us in the cave~" Miss Fox felt excited!

"Whether we succeed or fail, victory belongs to us!"

...

The main gate of the bandit stronghold.

A very conspicuous hilltop, with a large open space on the road leading to the bandits' stronghold. The bandits' cave entrance is not covered up at all, just blatantly showing a direction. If you didn't know better, you would think this was a military combat exercise.

Meanwhile, in the forest area next to the clearing, dozens of adventurers were hiding and cautiously communicating, watching the defensive line set up by the bandits.

"Captain, why hasn't that Steel-rank adventurer arrived yet?"

"I don't know. He's a steel-level adventurer, so it's normal for him to have a temper."

"How much longer do we have to wait?"

"In short, let's wait and see. We can't handle Brian on our own. Our mission is just to hold off those bandits so that the Steel-level adventurer can fight Brian one-on-one!"

The adventurers were all excited, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Steel-ranked adventurer so they could witness the beauty of Ye Lantir's most beautiful adventurer and have a thrilling duel between the strong with Brian!

This will give them something to talk about later!

Chapter 73 The Unsuspecting Mountain Bandits

In the dark cave.

The former leader of an adventure team, now the head of a mountain bandit group, had just come out of the prisoner's room. He stretched comfortably, looking relaxed and casually dressed, walking with a brisk pace, and even humming a song.

"Shh~"

Even if he heard the gossip of the other bandits, he was in a good mood and didn't care. He pretended not to hear and walked quickly.

After all, he was the leader who got to eat the meat first, so it's normal for the other bandits who needed it to have some complaints about him. But once they go in and have a bowl of soup, they'll be fine. Some of the prisoners of war from the initial battles of the bandit group were quite good.

And so, he went to rewatch it in broad daylight.

We should thank him for not keeping such a high-quality loot all to himself, but for sharing it with everyone.

"Ah Cang, look what I found!"

Acang? Is there someone named Acang in their mountain village?

Perhaps it's their nicknames. It's impossible to remember all the nicknames of your subordinates; when funds are tight, you just copy and paste people. The bandit leader thought to himself.

By the way, do they have any female members in their gang?

"There's a lone bandit here. We can try to capture him. A bandit can provide a considerable amount of shark meat experience. He's rich in protein, vitamins, oils, and so on—"
