Chapter 8: Assemble the team

The time when Li Chord came was neither early nor too late, just right. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Ning family's convoy was almost assembled, and there were many people standing around, while Ning Caichen was counting the number of people, and glanced in the direction of the city from time to time, with an anxious look in his eyes.

Seeing Li Hexian coming, Ning Caichen hurriedly jumped over, ignoring the strange eyes of everyone around him, grabbed Li Hexian's hand, and asked in a very eager voice: "Li Xuan, did you sleep well last night, what did you eat for breakfast today, and how did it taste?"

It's obviously asking about some trivial things, but asking it in such a concerned tone makes people feel how strange and strange it is.

Lee was silent and shook off the other man's hand—it felt so uncomfortable to be grabbed by a man.

Glancing at the other party lightly, Li Hexian asked, "You want to ask me why Xiaoqian didn't come with me, right?"

"That, that-" was poked by Li Hexian, Ning Caichen's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed, but he soon said righteously: "How can it be, the most important thing now is to escort my Ning family's goods, those children are long, I won't take it to heart." ”

"Oh, well, I'll go back and tell Xiaoqian. ”

Before Li Hexian's words fell, Ning Caichen was about to come over and grab his hand again, but this time he was easily avoided by Li Hexian.

With a bitter face, Ning Caichen said: "Li Xuan, don't play with me, okay, I'll just ask, why didn't Miss Xiaoqian come with you?"

As he spoke, he looked behind Lee Hexian.

Li Hexian felt that although Ning Caichen was in the second grade, he was also quite cute.

This kind of person is straight, he will not hide his thoughts, he will say whatever he thinks in his heart, although it will make people feel a little stupid, and sometimes he will offend people, but it is better than smiling with you on the surface and stabbing you with a knife behind your back.

"I'll tell you when we're on the way later. Lee said.

Seeing that Li Hexian was tight-lipped at the moment, although Ning Caichen's heart was like a cat's claw scratching, it was true that he couldn't be distracted now, so he could only leave first.

Li Hexian stepped aside and watched the people of the Ning family make the final preparations before leaving.

There were eight carts in total, and each of them was sealed tightly, and I didn't know what was inside.

Each carriage is equipped with six wildebeests, and from the number of wildebeests pulling the cart, as well as the depth of the wheels pressing the ground, it can be seen that the carriage is not light.

The Ning family was responsible for transporting this batch of goods, with six coachmen, one bookkeeper, and four other cultivators.

And the escort cultivators hired by the Ning family were eight people.

Counting Li Hexian, there are exactly twenty people in total.

The six coachmen and the bookkeeper are all ordinary people, and if they really encounter special circumstances, they can be ignored directly, and those who have combat power are the four cultivators of the Ning family, as well as the nine guards who count Li Hexian, a total of thirteen people.

Although Ning Caichen never forgot Xiao Qian, he still wouldn't be ambiguous when it was his turn to do something.

Through his introduction, Li Hexian knew that the leader of the team this time was a person at the level of the Ning family, called Ning Haiya, the fourth layer of Tianhua Realm.

This person's name sounds more atmospheric, but the person is actually thin and thin, like a bamboo pole, when everyone gathers, he puts his hands behind his back, stands at the front of the team with his back to everyone, looks into the distance, and does not talk to everyone, but this image is also in line with his identity as the highest level among these people.

The other three cultivators of the Ning family, in addition to Ning Caichen on the first floor of Tianhua Realm, there are two others on the second floor of Tianhua Realm, which are called Ning Shiwan and Ning Shihao.

These two are cousins, Ning Shiwan always has a smile on his face, and Ning Shihao has a serious face, which is somewhat similar to Ning Haiya.

When he heard Ning Shiwan's name, Li Hexian couldn't help but turn his head and look at the other party a few more times, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Life and life are bent, how much love does the person who named him have——"

As for the same identity as Li Hexian, they are all guards hired by the Ning family, although there are nine people in total, but six of them belong to a team called the Flame Squad, and they have a good relationship with the Ning family.

The other two, a man and a woman, the woman was cool, wearing black veils, her eyes were particularly sharp, she was holding a sharp sword in her arms, and a hideous scar, like a giant centipede, spread from her left palm to her elbow, making her more ruthless out of thin air.

In addition, the man is a fat man, and he laughs at everyone, but I don't know why, the sweating is very serious, and when Ning Caichen introduced everyone, he took out his handkerchief no less than seven times to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

These nine people are all in the realm of Tianhua Realm, but the highest realm is the captain of the Flame Squad, a bald head wearing an eye patch, who has reached the third layer of Tianhua Realm.

In addition, among the remaining five people of the Flame Squad, two were on the second floor of the Tianhua Realm, and the remaining three were on the first floor of the Tianhua Realm.

And the women and sweaty fat men with the same identity as Li Hexian are also on the second floor of Tianhua Realm.

At present, among the thirteen people with combat power, there is a fourth layer of Tianhua Realm, one is the third layer of Tianhua Realm, six are the second layer of Tianhua Realm, and there are five first floors of Tianhua Realm.

But obviously, because this time it was the Red Maple Mountain Range that he was going to cross, Ning Haiya, as the team leader, did not have a relaxed look on his face, and when everyone was assembled, he announced that he was on the road.

When Ning Caichen introduced him before, Li Hexian listened to him say that if this trip went well, it would take about six days to cross the Red Maple Mountains.

After arriving in the Western Xinjiang, when the Ning family finished handing over the goods, then the task of their group would be completed, and each of them could be rewarded with five medium-grade spirit stones.

If it doesn't go well, what will happen specifically, Ning Caichen didn't say, but Li Hexian can roughly guess it.

After all, in a place like the Red Maple Mountain Range, it is impossible to have only such a legendary mountain demon as Tamamo, and some other forces.

For example, some evil cultivators who specialize in robbing past merchants, and there may even be spirit beast-level beast cultivators.

If you really encounter it, a hard battle is absolutely indispensable, and some people will even fall.

So after starting to go on the road, the people who were originally talking and laughing also looked serious, and one by one they looked vigilant, releasing their divine consciousness and paying attention to their surroundings.

Because the group were all cultivators, and the horsepower of the wildebeest was also sufficient, the speed of the march was very fast, and almost by evening, everyone had already entered the Red Maple Mountain Range.

For ordinary people, it takes at least three to four days to enter the Red Maple Mountains.

After entering the realm of the Red Maple Mountain Range, the atmosphere of the whole team became more serious.

Originally, when they first came out of the city, everyone still advanced collectively, and after coming here, every once in a while, two people from the Flame Squad would be sent to the front to explore the way, and after making sure that there was no danger, everyone moved forward again, so the speed of the team's progress suddenly slowed down.

However, Li Hexian was not in a hurry, and he could take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look at the Red Maple Mountain Range, which made people smell and change.

As the name suggests, maple trees can be found everywhere in the Red Maple Mountains.

And no matter what the season, the maple trees in the mountains are all fiery red colors, and from a distance, it looks like a continuous flame, but some people say that it looks like diffuse blood, so when you come here, there is always a disturbing smell of slaughter in the air.

The surrounding maple trees are patchy, the mountains are forested, and the strange rocks are craggy, so that people can not help but have a feeling of fear at a glance, and they always feel that above the maple trees, after the strange stones, there will be evil cultivators or monsters to pounce coldly.

Therefore, when they continued to walk forward, the divine consciousness of all the people present spread out, enveloping a radius of two or three miles, ensuring that any wind and grass could be detected at the first time.

The Ninghai Cliff on the fourth floor of the Tianhua Realm sits in the center, issuing orders from time to time for people to execute.

Li Hexian's realm is very inconspicuous among these people, and his goal this time is not to transport this batch of goods, so he has not released his divine sense at this moment, he simply walks behind everyone, if he needs to do something, such as exploring the way forward or something, he will not be verbose, just do it.

So after a day passed, Li Hexian gave these people the impression that he was a quiet young man who didn't talk much.

However, in the eyes of some people, it is normal for Li Hexian to be low-key and quiet, who let him be just the realm of the first layer of Tianhua Realm.

In this team, the cultivators of the first layer of the Tianhua Realm should do those dirty and tiring work, otherwise, what do you want to join in? You can't let the cultivators of the second and third layers of the Tianhua Realm do it themselves.

If you dare to talk nonsense, I'm going to leave you here alone.

When the time comes, being alone, in a place like the Red Maple Mountains, the oppression and fear brought by the surrounding environment alone will be even more torturous and uncomfortable than killing him directly.

Some people will think so, Li Hexian can hardly see one or two from the other party's eyes.

But he didn't bother to care.

The other party didn't express it directly, if the other party really came to provoke him, then he would talk about it then.

As for Ning Caichen, Li Hexian really admired the other party's patience.

Obviously, since he set off, Ning Caichen wanted to come over several times to inquire about Xiaoqian's whereabouts, but he couldn't help it.

However, it can be seen that Ning Caichen is also very uncomfortable, and after entering the Red Maple Mountain Range, that face is even more suffocated like a pig's liver, and even makes Li Hexian have a suspicion, if he holds it for two more hours, will his face blow up directly.

When the sun was about to set and everyone found a leeward place to start camping, Ning Caichen couldn't hold back any longer, like a monkey, he suddenly rushed to Li Hexian, and asked quickly in a low voice: "Li Xuan, I really can't hold it back, it's night, you let Xiaoqian a girl walk at night, or in a place like the Red Maple Mountains, do you want to kill her!"
