Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Lone Wolf of the Desolate Beast
Soon, Bai Zheng came again and told Mo Fei that Miss Wanxuan and the other mercenaries had agreed to his decision, and the caravan was on the way at night.
Although safety has always been the first priority of caravans, in addition to caravans, Murphy is also one of the employers.
As long as the caravan leader has no opinion, coupled with the influence of the Mo family in Pisces City behind Mo Fei, of course, these mercenaries will try their best to cooperate and dare not delay Mo Fei's big event.
Mo Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Time is running out, according to the progress of this caravan, if you rush overnight, it will not be a problem to reach Pisces City within ten days, and it should be too late for that matter." ”
He was no longer bothered by the fact that he was mistaken for the young master of the Mo family in Pisces City, for him, getting to Pisces City as soon as possible was the key. Sure that there should still be time for him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the car to rest.
In the dead of night, the entire caravan was still slowly marching under the guidance of the mercenaries.
It was very cold at night, Mo Fei put on a fluffy coat specially sent by Bai Zheng, opened the curtain and looked outside, the cold chill blew into the carriage, he suddenly shivered, and could only reluctantly give up the idea of getting off the car and walking.
Xiaobai didn't care at all, and slept quietly on his shoulder, his little mouth moved from time to time, which was very cute.
As for the jade carving dragon hiding in his arms, he was not worried at all.
The rumored dragon clan has always been the most powerful creature, although I don't know what kind of dragon this little dragon is, but a look is so powerful, strong is certain, such a little cold air must not affect this little guy.
Mo Fei retracted into the carriage, and just after closing the curtain, his face suddenly changed: "Earthquake?"
The carriage had just shook suddenly, and although it wasn't noticeable, he was sure it wasn't a bump in the road.
Immediately, the carriage shook violently, and Mo Fei couldn't sit still anymore, ignoring the cold outside, and got out of the carriage directly.
Most of the caravan didn't seem to react yet, just constantly reassuring the frightened horses, Mo Fei looked around, and then walked quickly towards Miss Wanxuan and the mercenary Bai Zheng.
"Uncle Bai Zheng, what's wrong, how can there be an earthquake around here?"
Seeing Mo Fei, Miss Wanxuan and others bent down to salute, but Mo Fei had no choice but to return the salute. Although he was very unimpressed by this, it was the etiquette of the nobles after all, and the more he encountered this kind of crisis situation, the more the nobles paid more attention to these.
The other mercenaries were busy gathering the caravan, and Bai Zheng explained in a serious voice: "Young Master Mo Fei, this is not an earthquake, it should be a herd of beasts rushing towards this side." ”
Mo Fei glanced at everyone suspiciously: "Isn't the beast tide regular? didn't the caravan know in advance that there would be a beast tide here?"
This time, without waiting for Bai Zheng to speak, a sneer came from Miss Wanxuan's side, it was a young man who was only one or two years older than Mo Fei, and he looked at Mo Fei with disdain: "Young Master of the Mo family, do you think that these experienced mercenaries, as well as the principals of our caravan, are just like you, and they will go this way without knowing anything?"
Mo Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, this young man is a friend of the caravan lady Wanxuan, called Qi Tong, it is said that he is still a master, and the mercenaries also respect him very much.
But I don't know why, from the day he joined the caravan, especially when he heard that he was the young master of the Mo family in Pisces City, this young master targeted him everywhere, and never forgot to find an opportunity to attack him.
Alone, Mo Fei didn't want to make trouble, and once again suppressed the anger in his heart: "I really just walked out of the house, and I don't have much experience. Master Qi Tongqi, since you know, then please explain it to you. ”
"You!"
Qi Tong's expression that was still arrogant and smug just now suddenly stiffened, and when he saw everyone looking at him, his face turned red, and he turned to glare at Mo Fei angrily.
He simply didn't want to miss any opportunity to hit Murphy, in fact, he wasn't much better than Murphy, how could he know what was going on?
What's more, the beast tide has just appeared, not to mention him Qitong, even the experienced mercenaries, they don't dare to make conclusions until they investigate clearly.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell out of thin air, and a deafening thunderclap followed, and everyone was startled by the sudden thunder.
Mo Fei's face was pale, and he was as frightened as everyone else, but his eyes were staring at the direction where the thunder had just come from, and he muttered to himself: "This thunder, why does it sound weird?"
Bai Zheng's face was full of solemnity: "Don't panic, everyone, the caravan has gathered all the goods together, let's hide behind the goods, don't run around, maybe we can avoid this catastrophe." ”
Just listening to the momentum, Bai Zheng and these mercenaries know very well that the beast tide this time is not small, and the chance of everyone surviving is very slim. But in front of Mo Fei and Miss Wanxuan and other nobles, Bai Zheng really couldn't tell the truth.
Another middle-aged mercenary frowned and explained in a low voice: "This shouldn't be a beast tide, the caravan's walking route has been explored many times, and this situation will never happen." ”
Qi Tong sneered strangely: "It is impossible?" but now it has indeed appeared. ”
Mo Fei frowned: "I'm not doubting your professional experience, I just want to know what the hell is going on?"
The middle-aged mercenary shook his head and was silent, if he knew the reason for this beast tide, he would have said it a long time ago, why bother to explain such a sentence.
Bai Zheng looked thoughtfully at the direction from which the vibration came: "Under normal circumstances, this situation is impossible, but there is one exception. ”
"It's less than a hundred miles away from Chongshan Town, and I've heard a few mercenary friends mention that in recent years, a lone wolf has appeared near Chongshan Town. But after all, no one has ever seen it with their own eyes, so we didn't take it seriously before. ”
Bai Zheng didn't say the latter words, but Mo Fei knew in his heart that this time they were likely to encounter this lone wolf.
Wolves are social creatures, whether they are ordinary beasts or wild beasts, most of them appear in groups, but not without exceptions.
The battle for the wolf king in each wolf pack is very cruel, and most of the failed wolf kings must break away from the wolf pack and survive alone, which is the lone wolf.
The lone wolf among the beasts is nothing, compared to the wolf pack, no matter how powerful the lone wolf is, the threat is very limited.
But the desolate beast is far from being comparable to the beast, especially the former king of the desolate beast wolf pack, even if it is a loser, the desolate beast lone wolf is also very powerful, even if it is a heaven-level powerhouse, if it is encountered alone, it does not dare to provoke easily, and it can be avoided.
Hearing Bai Zheng say this, Mo Fei vaguely remembered that he had seen the relevant introduction in the book.
The lone wolf survives alone, and in order to survive, it is far more ferocious and cunning than other wild wolves. The pioneer drove the weak beast to attack, but he hid behind the scenes and waited for the opportunity to move, which is the favorite hunting method of the lone wolf of the beast.
Knowing that this was not the real beast tide, Mo Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the desperate expressions of the nobles such as Miss Wanxuan were also alleviated a lot.
Only Bai Zheng's mercenaries, even if they found the reason for the beast tide, they didn't hear too much, but their faces did not improve because of this.
