When the autumn wind blows, the autumn leaves fall to the ground one by one, carrying the unique charm of autumn. Rendering the golden yellow of the earth. The cool air and golden leaves are a unique sight in autumn. Autumn is the heavy season, and autumn is the harvest season.

Compared with the most beautiful and the most refreshing spring, this season also has a kind of gorgeous and deep spring that is not available, and the cool wind carries all kinds of flying leaves, blowing softly across the earth, and also brings people a pleasant tranquility.

Not far from the Warcraft Forest, an ordinary small caravan was moving forward. The caravan consisted of more than a dozen wagons, more than a dozen civilians and less than twenty soldiers, and the speed of progress was not fast, and there was no rush at all, but from time to time there were mercenaries wandering in the distance of the caravan, leisurely and not cautiously on guard.

The size of the caravan was not large, and the goods loaded on the cart were not heavy, and experienced people could tell at a glance that the carriage was loaded with the specialties of the Warcraft Forest, the furs of Warcraft, meat, various materials, and rare wood.

A young man in the convoy was dressed in a light gray loose robe, his long black hair was supple behind his head, his handsome little face was sickly pale, his half-asleep hazy eyes looked leisurely and pleasant, and his thin body leaning on the goods on the carriage tossed from time to time on the rough road with the wheels.

I don't know how long it took, the young man yawned heavily, shook his head, and smiled at a tough man next to him who also closed his eyes and recuperated: "Brother Zhao...... How far are we from Castle Peak, and when will we get there?"

Zhao Gang opened his eyes when he heard the words and was about to speak, but a pretty woman next to him smiled, and took the lead in answering: "You can come here in another day, are you in a hurry? But Xiaoyue, your heart is really big, you dare to go out alone at a young age, and I don't know what the adults in your family think, this is also reassuring!"

For the temptation of the delicate woman, the young man smiled indifferently and said: "My family has always pursued a free-range education, generally I don't care if I live or die, if I am in trouble, I can only blame myself for the waste, besides, isn't this Brother Zhao and Sister Aya, are you still in danger?"

"Giggles... What a cunning little ghost, your family is really strange, what are you doing in Qingshan Town?" The woman called Sister Aya scolded when she heard this, and then asked.

The young man's eyes flashed with a joke, he blinked, his face was innocent, and he said embarrassedly: "I said I was going to find my daughter-in-law, do you believe it?"

"Giggles... Little ghost, you are so funny, how old are you to have a daughter-in-law, do you think your sister is stupid!Come, let me see if the thing under you has developed!" The pretty woman looked disdainful and smiled disdainfully, while reaching out to grab the young man's lower body.

"Hey... You rascal, stop... Don't spoil my innocence, otherwise I won't be able to marry in the future... Bah... I can't marry a wife, I can't rely on you!" Xiao Yue twitched the corners of her mouth, after all, she still underestimated the arrogance of this hooligan girl, and was so frightened that she hurriedly bounced and hid behind Zhao Gang.

"Hey... Brother Zhao, take care of your woman, this is too arrogant, I really don't understand how you can stand her!"

"Stinky boy... Say it again...!" The woman's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and she said 'gently' to Xiao Yue with a smile.

"Okay, don't make trouble, be quiet for me, you are also interested in flirting with a little kid who hasn't grown hair!" Zhao Gang looked helpless, pulling the woman and seeming to teach him, but Xiao Yue felt full of malice.

"Giggles... That's right, the little ghost who hasn't grown hair, my sister won't tease you anymore, I'll talk about it when you grow up... Haha...!" The pretty woman teased, her eyes swept over Xiao Yue's lower body, and she said something that made people's faces dark.

"Yo, I can see it, you two are just a gang, and you are bullying people together, right! Yes, I can't afford to provoke it, can't I still hide? I flash!" Xiao Yue sighed helplessly, turned over and got out of the carriage, and walked towards the rear of the caravan with his hands behind his back.

"This stinky boy..."Zhao Gang shook his head and scolded with a smile.

"Giggles... It's so cute!When do you say we're going to have one?" The pretty woman stared at Zhao Gang and asked casually.

"Raw......! Haha!" Zhao Gang's face suddenly stiffened, and he snorted.

"Hmph! again...!" the woman muttered wryly.

………………

Quiet, desolate and cold!

Slowly looking around the road where the caravan was walking, this was how Xiao Yue felt now, like a strange dead place, there were neither pedestrians nor wild beasts, except for the withered trees was the cold wind, as awkward as a fake painting with a different flavor but lifeless, this was the world outside Utan City.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yue's appearance in this caravan was a temporary idea.

Originally, Xiao Yue planned to use the convoy of the Temir Auction House to go to the imperial capital together, but when he passed through a small town on the way to replenish, he met Zhao Gang and them, and accidentally learned that they were going to Qingshan Town to buy materials.

Xiao Yue, who remembered something, suddenly changed her itinerary, bid farewell to the convoy of the conspicuous Temir Auction House, and then got acquainted with Zhao Gang and them as if intentionally or unintentionally, and asked to catch their caravan under the strange gaze of the other party on the grounds of travel.

Zhao Gang: Although they felt that it was not normal for a little ghost who was less than ten years old to run around. But after Xiao Yue stalked and coquettishly stalked and sold cuteness to that Sister Aya, Sister Aya, who was overflowing with love, agreed in one bite. In addition, after seeing that Xiao Yue was not a little ghost, Zhao Gang also relaxed about him, and didn't say much about Xiao Yue's convoy following him.

After entering the convoy, Xiao Yue also unexpectedly found that there were many other civilians in this convoy except for Zhao Gang and these mercenaries. After inquiry, I learned that these people were also hitchhikers like him, but in addition to children, adults also had to act as handymen to help these rough men deal with a trivial matter. This made him a little surprised, Zhao Gang's charity seemed to be not small, maybe he really met a good person, although he felt very stupid.

After all, this world is not the peaceful world of the previous life, full of battles, and killing is the theme. Ordinary people, if they don't have outstanding strength, or if they are very necessary, they generally don't go out of the human town's gathering point and go out for a long journey. Because the world outside these places is actually very chaotic, in addition to some magical beasts wandering in the wild, the most fatal ones are actually the fighters who are also humans.

If you want to say that what is the most cost-effective and the most profitable in this world, it is undoubtedly a bandit, there is simply no entry condition, no matter who can do it, what strength, what specifications are there. Even if a bandit doesn't attack those fighters, just some ordinary people, he can accumulate an amazing fortune in a short period of time, provided that he is not hacked by other bandits.

And because of the vastness of this land, there are many terrains that are difficult to explore, and after each vote, in order to avoid the pursuit of the army, the bandits can quickly escape from the pursuit of these complex terrains.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is difficult for even the imperial officials to get rid of them, and most of the time they will turn a blind eye, as long as they do not blatantly do things in some official gathering places, they generally don't bother to care. Over time, the two sides have also formed a tacit understanding, but it has also made it more dangerous for weak civilians to travel.

Simple profits, life safety is guaranteed, such a promising profession naturally attracts a large number of people to join. Even some of the empire's armies also have many of them taking off their armor in order to fight the autumn wind, turning into bandits and pointing butcher knives at the imperial civilians they were supposed to protect. Then, as a matter of course, put on armor and go after the unwarranted bandits who forged the killings they caused.

Human nature is so bad that you can't blame people themselves. After all, the pill resources consumed by cultivating the Dou Qi path were simply terrifying to ordinary people. Unless you have a prominent backer behind you, otherwise, as long as you still want to make progress, and you are too slow to rely on the Dou Qi cultivation between heaven and earth, or when you encounter a certain bottleneck and need the help of the pill. That undoubtedly requires a lot of wealth, and the fastest way to get wealth is no other, looting is the easiest, quickest, and most effective way, so it also attracts more and more people to this road of killing.

Of course, the situation has been much better after the birth of the earth-shaking thunder, a thing that even a non-vindictive civilian can easily kill the fighter, which also makes the bandits restrain a little under fear. Indirectly, Xiao Yue has also done a great thing, but unfortunately the price of the Earthquake Thunder is not cheap for civilians, so most people are still helpless.

It is precisely because of this deep understanding that people who are generally not powerful usually do not go far away, in fact, the towns protected by the empire are not much clean, and there is often more terrible darkness buried behind the back of these places, but at least the surface is bright, or it still brings a sense of security to ordinary people.

In fact, compared to traveling alone, there is another way, that is, relying on the caravan mercenaries to carry the knot, but generally have to pay a lot of protection money, and most of the mercenaries may abandon these burdens and run away alone if they really encounter irresistible dangers.

Although I don't know what Zhao Gang's personality is, at least from hearing that the other party piggybacks on these people without taking money, he should at least be a good person.

Xiao Yue actually didn't have much feeling about these at first, but the scenes he saw along the way made him sigh.

Along the way, he could see Lei Lei's bones scattered on the side of the road from time to time, and even once they saw a group of people who had been plundered, but when they saw a caravan of people, they had become rotting corpses, gnawed by jackals.

Xiao Yue was indeed a little uncomfortable at first, but after seeing more of it, she became numb, and the trace of innocence left in her heart disappeared at the same time.

Compared to him, not to mention the mercenaries who have seen blood all year round, even some civilian children in the team who are younger than him are also indifferent to these scenes, and it seems that they have long been accustomed to the cruelty of this world.

He knows that this is the reality of this world, and madness is the essence of this world.

During this period, Xiao Yue was not idle, although he was always on the road, he never forgot his cultivation of his fighting spirit. In just this month and a half, not only did he stabilize himself and just break through the realm of the Dou Dou, but with the swallowing of the Qi Enhancement Pill that had changed from the Qi Nourishing Pill to the more violent One Pill Qi Enhancement Pill, he had even broken through to the Two-Star Dou in one go.

What surprised him was that after breaking through to the Fighter, he originally thought that the increase in the cultivation speed of the "Absolute Life Technique" would decrease a little as his cultivation increased. However, unexpectedly, instead of weakening the cultivation speed by the slightest, it increased significantly. This made him sigh with emotion, the cultivation after surviving the Dou Qi stage was really much easier, with the current cultivation speed, it may not be a fantasy to be promoted to a big stage within a year.

"Brother Yue... Come and play with Xian'er!" A crisp and immature voice suddenly interrupted Xiao Yue's sentimentality.

He smiled lightly, looked up at the little broken steps that were scattering silly, jumping up and running towards his little man, and walked forward quickly.

"Xian'er, don't run too fast, be careful of falling!"

"Oh, yes, hee-hee!"

The little girl, who was five or six years old, slowed down her steps when she heard the sound.

The little girl was dressed in a patched but unusually clean white dress, her immature face and facial features were not very delicate, but a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak carried a particularly pure feeling, and her immature and light voice seemed to come from the holy spring on the Tianshan Mountain, which could wash away the filth in people's hearts.

This is a very cute child, at this time it seems to be very happy to see Xiao Yue, jumping towards him, pure and lively, perfectly combined in her, it looks very cute, and the surrounding soldiers and civilians all show knowing smiles when they see this.

"What about your brother, won't he be abandoned by you again, now he will hate me to death again!" Catching the little man who threw herself into his arms, Xiao Yue pushed her forehead and chuckled.

"If you don't want to pay attention to him, it's not fun at all, and it will make Xian'er unhappy!" The little girl held the little fat hand and pouted in a milky voice, although she looked angry, it made Xiao Yuejue very interesting, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her soft little face like a baby.

"Then what do you want to play, don't you want me to tell you a story soon!

"Just... "As if she had been told something on her mind, the little girl twisted her fingers and stammered a little denial. It's just that the evasive water eyes and the pink on her face obviously betrayed her.

"It's... Okay, go play with your mother, but your brother won't wait to see me later, you have to help me stop it!" Xiao Yue found it interesting and continued to tease the little girl.

"Rest assured... He dared... Hmph!" The little girl smiled happily and patted her little breasts, indicating that she was covered, and her cute appearance almost made Xiao Yue laugh.

Perhaps because the yin in her heart is getting heavier and heavier, Xiao Yue, who feels more and more depressed, seems to have a heartfelt attraction when she sees the little girl's innocent and pure smile at the beginning, and feels very close to her.

Maybe it was boredom, or it was to verify something, and then Xiao Yue used the small food in Narong and the fairy tales in her previous life to completely win the favor of the little girl.

In the other time, Xiao Yue's heart, which was originally more and more restless, seemed to be washed by the little girl's pure smile, and became calm again, the most obvious thing is that he is much more cheerful about people and things.

This surprised him at the same time, but also made him more and more interested in the little girl.
