Chapter 57: Danger Strikes

When the four of Yin Jiuchen listened to the woman's words, they all held their breath in their hearts, what is "goods"? What do you think of us?

Seeing that there was about to clash, the leader of the square who was busy hurriedly came out to play a round: "Captain Yao is angry, isn't it in a hurry to set off and can't find anyone, besides, they look young, and their strength is still good, except for the black-haired boy, everyone else is in the imperial qi realm." After speaking, he whispered to Captain Yao in a voice that Yin Jiuchen and the four of them couldn't hear: "Besides, their prices are cheap." โ€

"Wouldn't that increase our danger in vain?" Captain Yao didn't suppress his voice at all: "No, I want to increase the price." โ€

"Plus a fifth, oh no, a quarter. Captain Yao, no matter how expensive it is, we can't afford it. โ€

"Okay, call me tomorrow. With that, the woman went back to her tent.

"I'm sorry guys, haha, I'll take you to a resting place. Fang Ling smiled and rubbed his hands in apology.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, although the four of Yin Jiuchen were unhappy, they would not be angry with the leader of Fang, and followed them to their own tent. Wait until tomorrow morning to open the city gate, pack up your things and set off.

Early the next morning, the caravan marched through the city gates towards the barren desert. The path taken by the caravan was the optimal route recorded by the merchants through the desert many times, taking into account both supplies and robbers, and taking less time.

The four of Yin Jiuchen are very interested in finding the red stripe token, although the rewards are rich, but in this huge desert, it is not easy to find, once they are too far away from the oasis and lack supplies, they can only choose to call for help, and then be eliminated.

When walking on the road in the early morning, the feeling is not bad, but near noon, after the temperature rises, everyone can only shrink back on the deserted camels, horses or carriages, relying on the slightly cool space brought by the hat or canopy, so as not to be too uncomfortable.

Yin Jiuchen was already prepared for this, and he distributed the elixir he had prepared early at school to his friends and asked them to apply it to his skin. The cool feeling brought by the elixir is really comfortable, Xia Lian feels that Yin Jiuchen can make a fortune with this, but considering the cost, it should not be easy to sell.

The caravan had been advancing for six days, and there were no robbers, but it was quite peaceful. However, there was no threat on the outside, but there was a quarrel inside, and the quarrel stemmed from another mercenary team that looked down on each other.

When the camp was set up at night, the caravan was having dinner, Yin Jiuchen happened to sit next to Captain Yao, when he was eating quietly, Captain Yao had already drunk a pot, and she was already a little drunk, she pointed to Yin Jiuchen and said:

"You, go get some wine in the car. โ€

"Drink it and take it yourself. Yin Jiuchen replied angrily.

"You dare to talk back to a third-order forging body, tell you to take it quickly, don't waste my strength, wait for the danger but I will protect you." Captain Yao said that she felt that she was a fourth-order Qi Emperor, and only she could protect the team.

"I didn't say you should protect it. Yin Jiuchen moved to Xia Lian's side, intending to stay away from this neuropathy.

When the atmosphere was a little stiff, Yin Jiuchen suddenly stood up, he sensed something approaching, and turned his head to look at the dark night outside the convoy.

"Yo, what are you doing standing up? Angry, come and challenge me, you can beat me as you command. Captain Yao didn't give up, and when he saw Yin Jiuchen suddenly stand up, he thought that Yin Jiuchen was going to make a move, so she also stood up.

"Shut up, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!" Yin Jiuchen turned his head and shouted angrily.

The sudden scolding made Captain Yao's head blank, he yelled at me, he dared to yell at me?

Xia Lian was keenly aware of the gloomy expression on Yin Jiuchen's face, and asked softly, "Jiuchen, what's wrong?"

Miyazu and Yau also noticed that something was wrong, and stood up and looked around.

In the dark night, there was no sound of horses' hooves, it should not be a robber, but something else. In the caravan, the horses of the trailer sensed something, neighed uneasily, and tried to break free from the reins, and the caravan finally realized that something was wrong, but did not see where the enemy was.

Fang Ling ran over with his sweat wiped and asked the mercenaries, "Do you know what happened?"

Captain Yao also reacted at this time, sobered up a lot, and knew that now was not the time to joke, so he instructed the team leader: "Fence the camp with a carriage, our mercenaries are guarding the defensive line, and you are holding bows and arrows in the center to support." โ€

"No," Yin Jiuchen, who had been observing for a long time, turned his head, "Leader Fang, is there fresh horse meat? โ€

Fang led the way and didn't know who to listen to for a while.

"Go and fence the carriage, it's too late when the danger comes, don't you listen to me, listen to this third-order forging body?" Captain Yao frowned, her face was rarely serious, it was obvious that she really wanted to protect this caravan.

Leader Fang finally listened to Captain Yao's opinion, and let his subordinates get busy, so that the carriage was connected end to end, forming a line of defense, but before going to order things, he said a word to Yin Jiuchen:

"There is also half a freshly slaughtered sheep in the car on the left. โ€

Yin Jiuchen nodded, looked at the three members of his team, and the three of them believed in Yin Jiuchen's judgment, and also took action to help carry the fresh mutton outside the camp.

Captain Yao watched in silence as the four of them carried the mutton, and when she confirmed that the four of them were really going to leave the camp, she shouted loudly: "You don't want to die?!" Why do you have to leave the camp, without the protection of the carriage, you may not even be able to resist the robbers' cavalry shots!" There was some hatred in the words, maybe something bad had happened before.

Yin Jiuchen didn't look back, he didn't know what Captain Yao had experienced before that caused her to judge like this, but he believed in what he had learned and believed in his preparation.

About 100 meters away from the camp, Yin Jiuchen asked Miyazu Yu and Qiu Muyi to put down the mutton, he took out a medicine bottle and poured the potion inside on the mutton, the blue-black potion did not react with the mutton, nor did it melt the mutton, just like ordinary dirty water, but Yin Jiuchen knew that it only took one chance for him to make this potion work.

"We went back twenty meters. โ€

The four-person team lay behind a sand dune and observed the position of the mutton, at this time, a slight moonlight fell in the sky, and it was still possible to see things dozens of meters nearby. Only then did Xia Lian have the opportunity to ask Yin Jiuchen softly:

"What kind of danger is it?"

Miyazu Yu and Qiu Muyi were also curious.

"I'm not sure. โ€

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทโ€ This made the three of them very embarrassed, we believe in you so much, are you so perfunctory?!

"After all, it's the first time I've seen it, and it's all the knowledge that looks like books. Yin Jiuchen continued to explain: "If what the book says is correct, it should be the sandworm that attacked, the sandworm usually walks underground, and the shuttle will cause a slight vibration, causing the sand at the top of the dune to collapse, but this is not easy to spot, because it may be considered wind-blowing." But if the horses are also restless, it's a sandworm. โ€

"The sandworm is very good at escaping, the shell is too hard and the weapon is difficult to penetrate, so I used the elixir, oh no, poison, but this poison has not been activated in order to avoid being discovered by the sandworm, and I have to find an opportunity to draw the medicine into its body later. โ€
