Chapter 36: Eliminating Bandits Part 2
Now the bandit elimination plan begins.
Before going to the thief I see that he has no mask, I have an idea of how to capture him without killing, I start by making a ball of web big enough to fit in his mouth, with that ready I use my skill for the first time. [Hide: 1] to move through his blind spot and get closer to him, when I'm behind him I bite his neck from behind and just as he's going to scream I put the web ball in his mouth so he can't scream, as he tries to scream and despairs I have used my paralyzing venom on him over and over until he loses the ability to move, all this has only lasted a few seconds, and he is swaying trying to get me off his back.
With the first thug already taken care of, I wave to the girls, then toss the thief from the top of the tree into Diana's arms and climb down from the tree.
"Diana takes him to the bush we were in, Ibuki stabs him in the head and kills him, I'll suck his blood so I don't attract monsters to us." (me)
"Yes Master." (Diana)
I forget that Ibuki is still learning the common language so I reprimand her in the Goblin language.
After that Ibuki kills the thief and I suck blood from him.

"Now let's wait for the change of watchers to get another one." (me)
"Stay hidden here." (me)
I say this to the girls and study the cave entrance and its surroundings looking for a good point to attack, I finally realized that the best place to surprise him is from above, but how am I going to do that?
I look up to the part above the entrance and see that it's a big blind spot for anyone coming out of the cave, but there's no way to stay there.
Hmmm...
With a flash of memory, I remember a comic book hero character from my old world who walked the walls, with that memory I had an idea of how to wait above the entrance.
I walk up to the cave entrance and use my [ Jump: 4 ] ability to jump over the entrance straight to the cliff wall and use [ Sticky Line Production: 9 ] on the wall and stick a foot and a hand on the line to get me to fasten the wall.
I'm really glad my plan worked, so I wait until someone comes out of the cave to attack, in preparation I make another ball of webs so he doesn't have a chance to scream.
-------------
I had to wait in this strange position for almost two hours before I started to hear footsteps coming from the cave, the footsteps got louder and louder until a silhouette came out of the cave, it was another Human, it must be another thief, the moment he appeared I used the strength of my loose leg to use the [ Jump: 4 ] down the skill to increase my speed going towards you.
When he realized that something was moving towards him I had already reached his neck and with the force of the fall he fell to the ground with me on top of him kneeling on his back with my teeth in his neck, I bit and used about eight or nine times [Weak paralyzing venom secretion: 6] and the moment his mouth started to open to scream I pushed the ball of web hard into his mouth silencing him.
He struggled a bit but within seconds he was no longer able to move, and I carried him to the bushes we're hiding in, turn to Ibuki and speak in Goblin language for her to kill him just like the one before, aiming for the head.
Just like the previous one after Ibuki killed him I suck all his blood.

That leaves only four bandits left, we can't take it any longer, they'll soon notice that your friend isn't coming in after the guards change.
"rica and Diana, you two start gathering leaves and dry branches then take everything into the cave, I will use my ability to product lines to have more stuff to burn and more smoke." (me)
"Yes Master." (rica)
"Right now master." (Diana)
The two only took a little more than five minutes to carry out my orders, the amount they got was enough, with everything already inside the cave spread I use [ Line production: 8 ] to produce a large number of lines and spread it by half From the cave, I tell the girls to go outside, as soon as I see they're far away I use [Low Fire Puff: 4] to ignite it all, so I run outside.
"If you two position as agreed, rica goes up to the watchman's tree and Diana hides on the left side of the entrance, I'll wait on the right side of the entrance while I hide." (me)
"Diana remember that you have to aim for the Tiger Man-Beast." (me)
"I haven't forgotten the master plan." (Diana)
"To your positions." (me)
Everyone got into position and we waited just a few seconds before we heard screams and hurried footsteps getting louder.
Soon the Tiger Man-Beast was the first to leave, the moment he left Diana ran towards her with the sword and cut her leg almost completely.
The two humans appeared at the same time and were shocked at the sight of their mate having his leg almost torn off, I take advantage of this situation and use the knife Diana gave me to pierce one of them in the neck from behind and use my line skills to arrest the other.

In the meantime I get hit in the side of the body by a big Warhammer, I noticed him, but the initiative of the attack was his and it was already too close to dodge, all I could do was throw myself in the opposite direction from which it came to the attack to soften the blow.
The moment after being hit a fireball hits the attacker who appears to be the Dwarf, but it seems he has resistance to focus as he is alive with only one of his arms burned, he screams in pain, and the next moment he is stabbed by the back by Ibuki and falls to the ground barely breathing.
I run up to him and bite his neck and use my paralyzing venom on him to prevent another attack and tell Ibuki to finish him for good, with that I shift my focus to Tiger Beast Man only to see him unconscious with Diana choking him to faint.
Ding!
<[ You gained 35 EXP for Dwarf kill by party member ]>
With everything resolved I gather the ones that are still alive, which are the Tiger Beast Man and one of the humans I captured, I tie the Tiger Beast Man with my lines and use paralyzing poison too, I tell Ibuki to kill them all by piercing their heads with the knife that I pass to her, then I drank the blood of all three and the one I killed before.

With the fight over, I wait with the girls for the fire to go out and the smoke to dissipate.
Seeing that it was all over, the girls started taking off my clothes to see if I had any injuries and if I was okay while we waited, I couldn't deny seeing her eyes filled with sincere concern.
I was lucky to react quickly enough to deny most of that Warhammer's strength, thanks to that all I suffered was a massive bruise on my right side and I didn't have any broken ribs or external wounds.
But rica and Ibuki were furious and ran to the Dwarf's corpse with knives they took from one of the thieves to get revenge on the Dwarf's corpse, if I hadn't stopped them they would have chopped the Dwarf into cubes.
I thought we went well, everything didn't go as planned, in the plan I didn't consider the difference in the speed of each one, I thought they would go out together and not one at a time as it happened.
Well, I have to reflect on this and remember to make more than one plan so if things go wrong we can adapt to situations faster.
After the smoke cleared we entered the cave and went into the two rooms to check that no one else was hiding.
When we confirmed that there was no one else, we went to see the rooms more carefully, inside the first room there were two tables, an old closet and some beds, in the second room there were several boxes and chests.
