Chapter 215: Caught in the Storm
In the dark plain, a convoy brought up a wisp of yellow dust, and then galloped past, and finally disappeared from the end of sight.
In the slightly bumpy car, Qin Sheng sat cross-legged, in front of him, was the caravan principal named He Laosan, the guard of this caravan, as he said, is not very strong, the strongest of them seems to be around the fifth order of the Golden Realm, of course, as the chief of the guard who was originally hired by He Laosan, that guy was naturally a little displeased with Qin Sheng who suddenly joined, but after being knocked off the carriage by Qin Sheng "accidentally" on the way, he became a lot more honest.
And it was precisely because of that palm that He Laosan's enthusiasm for Qin Sheng became much more earnest, so much so that he even directly invited him into the carriage later, so that he could be entertained, after all, in this kind of danger of being robbed everywhere, if there is a strong man in the convoy, it can really make people feel at ease.
This caravan was saved by Qin Sheng when he was passing by yesterday and happened to see the caravan besieged by a group of men and horses.
Originally, Qin Sheng didn't plan to meddle in things, but who knew that those besieging guys were planning to attack Qin Sheng without knowing what to do, and in desperation, Qin Sheng had no choice but to wipe out this team.
And it happened that Qin Sheng was not familiar with the Sin Capital, so he agreed to He Laosan's invitation to join the team temporarily, and at the same time planned to ask some things about the Sin Capital.
At this time, He Laosan was taking out a somewhat yellowed map from his arms, slowly spreading it out on the table in front of him, pointing his finger at a red dot, and said with a smile: "This is our destination, Black Wind City, according to our speed, we should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon." ”
Qin Sheng's eyes were firmly fixed on the yellowed map, his gaze stayed on the small spot of the Black Wind City for a while, and then he followed a route, slowly along, and finally saw a blue star in the center.
"This should be the War Academy?" Glancing at the blue star, Qin Sheng's face did not change in the slightest, and he asked casually.
"Well, that's the famous war academy on the mainland, and my daughter is among them, hehe. He Laosan nodded, and when he mentioned his daughter, his fat face was a little proud.
Qin Sheng nodded silently, didn't say much, and then swept his gaze to the black ** domain on the other side again, those black ** domains were divided into several sections of different sizes.
"The current sin capital has basically been divided up by some powerful forces, although they are still fighting each other for turf, but in a short period of time, the changes should not be very big. Seeing Qin Sheng's gaze, He Laosan, who was a businessman, naturally understood some of his doubts, although he could also guess that Qin Sheng should be a newcomer who had just entered the Sin Capital, but he was shrewd, but he didn't say it at all, but explained with a smile.
"What we are going to Black Wind City is under the jurisdiction of the Iron Blood Gate, this Iron Blood Gate is an old force in the Sin Capital, and its strength is extremely strong, it is said that their leader Iron Hand, the strength can be ranked in the top ten of the Sin Capital, and this time the auction meeting of the Black Wind City is presided over by their Iron Blood Gate. He Laosan drew a small circle with his fingers around Black Wind City and said with a smile.
"Dibang?" The unfamiliar words made De Xiao slightly stunned and muttered in a low voice.
"Hehe, this list is no different from the ranking list of the powerhouses of the empire, but the competitiveness of the list here is far beyond the list of the powerhouses of the empire, because it is only in less than two years, the last three places in the list are directly replaced, and it is said that the three places that have been replaced are also the powerhouses of the martial arts realm. ”
He Laosan shook his head and said in amazement.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Qin Sheng was a little moved, you know, the Dashun Empire also has its own powerhouse list, the top ten powerhouses, it will almost take at least nearly ten years to rotate, and here, even the powerhouses of the Martial Sect Realm are eliminated so quickly, it is unimaginable how cruel that competitiveness is.
However, there is still a heavenly list on top of this strong list, and what is recorded on it is the top peerless powerhouse in the entire continent.
And the number one on the list that day was Huang Fuhan, the first person in the world.
Those who can enter the heavenly list are undoubtedly peerless powerhouses, and even those who are ranked last are martial saint-level cultivators.
The strong man on the list that day can be said to be a legendary existence, and ordinary people have never seen each other in their lives.
However, Qin Sheng did not belong to one of these people, and beside him was Mo Zhitian, who used to be the second on the heavenly list.
"Who are the top few people on the list, and what is their strength?" Qin Sheng asked softly, with a slight curiosity in his voice.
"The first and second places, but because they are too mysterious, so few people have seen them, so I don't know much, but the third place is a great powerhouse, it is said that the strength is about the fourth order of the martial arts realm, but because he is extremely proficient in all kinds of poison arts, he can be called the first person in the poison art of the evil capital, so most people are respectfully called the "poison emperor" He Laosan groaned.
"Poison Emperor? This nickname is really quite weighty. Qin Sheng smiled faintly and said, "What is his real name?"
"Well, I think about it, it's like it's called Ghost Face. He Laosan shook his head and said with a smile.
"Ghost face?" smiled, Qin Sheng just wanted to speak, but suddenly found that there was a commotion outside the carriage, and one after another exclamations came into the carriage: "Everyone pay attention, the sandstorm is coming, hurry up and prepare to stop!" Be careful not to disperse, so as not to lose your way." ”
"Sandstorm? Hearing the exclamations outside, He Laosan's face changed slightly, but he was not extremely panicked, and said to Qin Sheng: "Mr. Qin Sheng, let's get out of the car first, as long as we do a good job of protection, this kind of sandstorm that is not too big will not cause much danger." ”
Nodding, Qin Sheng lifted the curtain, jumped down, looked up, and found that the sky was clear ten minutes ago, but now it was covered by a strange black fog, and his eyes looked ahead, but his vision was greatly obstructed, and now he knew why He Laosan would say that if he encountered a sandstorm, even if there was a map, it would be useless.
"Hehe, Mr. Qin Sheng, don't worry, I felt the direction of the wind, it's not very big, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune. He Laosan smiled beside Qin Sheng and said: "Although the sandstorm is the most depressing weather in the Evil Field, it is much better than those brutal bandits, at least, if you are lucky enough to meet the sandstorm, you can still save your life, but when you foresee the army of thousands of bandits, I am afraid you can only wait to die." ”
Qin Sheng nodded slightly, and just wanted to say something, but he found that the already dim sky was completely dark without the slightest warning in an instant, and soon after, the howling wind suddenly swept down from the sky, and suddenly, some people who were slightly weaker were blown by the wind and their bodies swayed a little, so frightened that they hurriedly grabbed everything around them.
A black wind swept down from the black sky, devouring everything it came across, like a demon with its mouth open.
The convoy was connected to each other in a circle with its tails swinging together, and everyone hid in it, their weapons stuck into the ground, and their bodies were fixed like nails.
The darkness that could not be seen enveloped everyone, and in the whistling wind, no one could feel the presence of people beside them.
Half-kneeling on the ground, Qin Sheng hid behind the wide carriage, listening to the crackling sound of the wind blowing in the car body, his face also changed slightly, he didn't expect this so-called sandstorm to be so strong, and this is still the small storm He Laosan said, if it encounters a bigger one, wouldn't it be able to directly sweep people away?
The darkness and the wind knew how long it had lasted, and faintly, Qin Sheng in the darkness suddenly frowned, turned his head and glanced at a place where he didn't know the direction, where there seemed to be a little weird red light flickering, and it was also faintly accompanied by a vague sound.
Lying in the grass, the wind around him was whistling, in the darkness, there was no concept of time, just when Qin Sheng's heart was slightly irritated, a faint ray of sunlight suddenly shone into the darkness, and the scene was like an egg without the slightest leak, which was gently cracked, and the warm sunlight expelled the darkness in it.
As the first rays of sunlight appeared, the sunlight began to pour in, and the whirring wind slowly weakened until it finally dissipated.
Looking at the slightly brighter sky, Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, carefully got up, looked around, and immediately a few hundred meters away, saw the caravan that was already rectifying, and hurriedly took steps and galloped towards that side.
When Qin Sheng was about to pick up the caravan, he saw He Laosan's happy fat face.
"Mr. Qin Sheng, are you okay? I didn't see you before, but I was in a hurry. He Laosan hurried to greet him and said with a relaxed breath.
"It's okay, I didn't want to be swept away a distance just now. Seeing the joy on He Laosan's face, Qin Sheng smiled and shook his head, although this fat man was so anxious because of his strength, at least compared to some people in the Sin Capital, he was still relatively normal.
"Swept away? Then Mr. Qin Sheng is really good, if you change to a bad luck, you will be lost in the Great Plains. Hearing this, He Laosan smiled with some joy: "Mr. Qin Sheng will enter the carriage first, and I will sort out the goods that have been blown away, and then continue on the road." ”
Nodding, Qin Sheng looked at the caravan that had begun to straighten things out, and didn't say anything more, got into the carriage again and sat cross-legged, but he let out a long breath in his heart.
"The forces of nature in this heaven and earth are truly terrifying. Qin Sheng muttered in a low voice.
"When your strength truly reaches the Martial Saint Realm, you can also do this. Mo Zhitian said lightly.
Martial Saint Realm?Qin Sheng smiled bitterly, with his current cultivation, he didn't know what year or month he would reach that realm.
"Xiao Sheng, although this sin city is chaotic, there are often some unexpected treasures born here. Lin Tingzhi's voice suddenly wanted to sound.
"We may be able to stay in Black Wind City for a day, the auction there should have what you need, and the auction in the Sin Capital is not comparable to those in the Great Shun Empire, look at it, it can be an eye-opener But do you have enough money? Lin Tingzhi said with a smile.
Qin Sheng was stunned: "When I came out this time, I only had more than 100,000 silver taels of silver tickets on me, and I didn't bring much." ”
