Lufan had not forgotten that his target this time was Li Hao. According to the information provided by the Thin Monkey, Li Hao was currently residing in the most conspicuous loft of the central building, known as the Little Tianxin Pavilion. The place was heavily guarded, making it difficult to enter.
Even with the Turtle Breathing Divine Skill, it wouldn't help much, as this skill merely suppressed one's presence and was not a true invisibility technique. It would be challenging to infiltrate under the watchful eyes of many.
The Thin Monkey's status also posed a problem; being of low rank, getting close to that area would raise suspicions.
Under normal circumstances, Lufan would have little hope, but fortunately, the situation had changed in the past few days, providing him with an opportunity.
Recently, several important guests had arrived at the cave, and Li Hao was hosting a banquet for them at the Little Tianxin Pavilion. To show respect, he planned to withdraw most of the guards, which would create an opening for Lufan.
The banquet was scheduled for tonight, and there were still three hours left until then.
This meant that Lufan had limited time and needed to act quickly.
He refocused on the map in front of him, trying to find a relatively safe escape route.
Suddenly, he spotted a location that caught his eye; perhaps he could find a way from there.
After pondering his idea again, he felt it might be feasible.
With his mind made up, Lufan began to take action. He gathered cleaning supplies like a broom and bucket from the room next to where the Thin Monkey was and prepared to go out to gather information while also assessing the actual situation there.
After all, relying solely on a verbal map to execute an entire plan was quite unreliable; he needed to conduct a field investigation.
One of the tasks for the thin monkey was to clean all the roads except for the Little Tianxin Pavilion, which was a perfect opportunity to utilize.
Holding a broom and other tools, Lufan began his work. As he cleaned, he observed everything around him, committing the details to memory.
No one would have thought that this usually timid and bullied thin monkey could be someone else entirely. Most robbers looked down on him, even too lazy to bully him because he would cry at the slightest provocation, making him seem uninteresting.
Lufan was already quite familiar with cleaning from his time in school, so there was no need for pretense; it came naturally. Soon, he had covered all four areas—north, south, east, and west—and finally arrived at a spot he had noted on the map earlier.
After observing carefully for a while, Lufan felt that his idea was feasible. Without further hesitation, he headed towards the food storage room to the west.
Once outside the food storage room, he glanced around. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Lufan slipped inside.
The space inside the food storage room was quite large. One side was filled with rice, flour, and various large pieces of meat, while the other side contained a significant amount of alcoholic beverages.
Among them was a small pile of wine jars set aside, seemingly for use at tonight's banquet.
However, Lufan's goal was not this. He turned and entered a smaller side room nearby. Sure enough, it was almost filled with various low-grade beast skins and many beast tendons and bones.
Lufan selected several wide, soft yet tough skins and stacked them up. He also took a small bundle of beast tendons and a few sharp small beast bones, stuffing them into a barrel before heading out to return.
However, as he reached the food storage room again, Lufan paused. He looked at the pile of alcoholic beverages thoughtfully; it would be too cheap for these robbers if he didn't make use of them.
In his hand appeared a small porcelain bottle—the one containing the Venom of the Jade Gold Thread Snake.
During his earlier battle with the Black-hearted Tiger, Lufan had used one drop of Venom. Since he had originally obtained two drops, that meant there was still one drop left in this porcelain bottle.
Now, Lufan plans to put it into one of the jars of wine.
The venom is so potent that even a Fourth Rank expert cannot withstand it. Even if it is diluted in the wine, this group of Second Rank Realm bandits would likely meet their end after drinking it.
Lufan did not place the venom in the top jar of wine but instead dripped it into one in the middle.
After all, people are usually very alert at first, but once they start drinking and their taste buds become numb, they won't notice anything unusual about the wine.
This way, he wouldn't alarm them right away, giving Lufan ample time to act.
As for which unfortunate souls would end up drinking from that jar, that would depend on their luck.
After administering the poison, Lufan did not linger and began to return to the place where the thin monkey lived.
Once back, he took out a stack of animal hides and laid them out one by one, then used a dagger to cut them into the shapes he needed.
After cutting them, he paired the hides together and used animal bones as needles and sinew as thread to perform multiple stitches at the joints of the hides.
Once two pieces were stitched together, Lufan tested them and was very satisfied. The seams were nearly airtight and could withstand strong pulling, meeting his requirements perfectly.
It seems that with his physical control ability, he could even manage sewing quite well; he felt a bit proud of himself for being such a genius.
However, he suddenly thought of another man in red who was skilled with needlework and felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly stopped boasting and continued stitching.
After piecing together all the animal hides, Lufan pulled out several thick sinews and got back to work.
Half an hour later, Lufan had created what he wanted. After testing it and finding it feasible, he temporarily stored it away, knowing it would be of great use later.
After some thought, Lufan used the remaining piece of leather to make a mask. No matter how carefully he planned, there would always be unexpected events, and he did not want his true face to be seen during the operation.
The mask was quickly completed. Out of a sense of dark humor, Lufan painted it to resemble a bizarre clown, reminiscent of the mask from "V for Vendetta" that he had seen before.
Having finished all this, there was still over an hour until the banquet began. The outside was already bustling with preparations for the event. Lufan stepped out again; he needed to complete the task assigned to the Thin Monkey.
Additionally, he needed to fill his stomach and restore his body to its optimal state.
An hour later, after finishing his tasks, Lufan returned to the Thin Monkey's residence. Everything went smoothly; no one suspected his identity. The attendees of the banquet were all minor leaders from the Robbers, and he did not have the qualifications to participate.
Once back, Lufan sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, remaining motionless as he began to conserve his energy and adjust his state for the upcoming action.
Half an hour later, a commotion erupted outside—the banquet had officially begun.
Lufan opened his eyes.
His gaze was calm and steady, completely composed. His mind and body had been adjusted to their best state, and the timing was just right.
The operation had begun!
