Chapter 44: Dawn
Seeing that Su Sheng didn't speak, Wei Junyao deliberately explained, "Seven days later, there will be a huge demon hunting competition in Xuege Town, and the two forces participating in this competition are the two largest mercenary groups in Xuege Town, the Jade Dragon Mercenary Group and the Blood Prison Mercenary Group. ”
"For this reason, the Jade Dragon Mercenary Group specially found our family to buy a batch of Mountain Fire Hundred Alchemy. However, because the amount of Yulong needed is very large, our Wei family is also a little unprepared for a while, and because of this reason, the delivery period has been delayed again and again. ”
"Tomorrow is the last time limit, because in the next six days, this batch of ore still needs to be made into weapons. Therefore, if you delay one more day, there will not be enough time to build weapons. ”
"Now, I just hope that there won't be any more problems, tomorrow the Jade Dragon Mercenary Group will definitely send someone to contact us again, as long as we can hold on until that time, thank God. Wei Junyao said, also looking at the first carriage
Although she already knew that Guan Ying was a traitor, she was helpless, and the top priority was to hurry as soon as possible, and it was not the time to entangle with Guan Ying.
Thinking of the danger of this trip, Wei Junyao couldn't help but start praying in her heart, "Please, God, bless my Wei family once, let my Wei family get through this pass." ”
Just as Wei Junyao was praying, he found that Su Sheng was actually shaking his head and sighing vigorously, as if he was still muttering something......
"No, this doesn't work, this doesn't work! This is too advanced......
Because he heard Wei Junyao say that this batch of ores was used to build weapons, Su Sheng was in his divine sense, rummaging through the method of consolidating essence taught by his master, wanting to see if there was a similar method of applying the power of ice and fire to weapons.
Although there are indeed many methods for the use of multi-attribute powers, each of them seems too profound, and it is only slightly mentioned above, there is no specific secret method, and Su Sheng can't see what it is.
In the end, Su Sheng did not find a solution that he thought would work.
"Silly boy, what do you say 'no', this is the future of our Wei family, if this thing fails, I ......" Wei Junyao didn't dare to think about it anymore
Because of this batch of goods, their Wei family really can't afford to lose, and in order to make up enough for this batch of ore, the Wei family can be said to have staked all their family funds.
Thinking that if something happened to this batch of ores, not only would the Wei family have no place in Redstone City, but even the Jade Dragon mercenary group that they had befriended now would not let them go easily.
At that time, the Wei family was really finished, and they, the children of the Wei family, might have to be sold into slavery at that time.
Thinking of this possibility, Wei Junyao's face turned pale instantly.
"Sister Wei, what's wrong with you? What did I say?" Su Sheng, who finally came back to his senses, also noticed Wei Junyao's unhappy tone
In fact, he didn't listen to Wei Junyao's words much.
When Wei Junyao heard this, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, and he communicated with Su Sheng so heartily, as if the other party hadn't listened to anything.
The girl, who had nowhere to vent, suddenly pinched Su Sheng's arm directly.
"Ah...!" Su Sheng was in pain and couldn't help but cry out.
Wei Junyao was so frightened by him that she hurriedly let go of his arm, and hurriedly stretched out her jade hand to block Su Sheng's mouth, and lowered her voice and said, "Don't scream." ”
But Su Sheng's broken voice had already spread......
"Silly boy, what are you howling about, it's the season of magic **, don't invite the she-wolf. ”
"I'm in the middle of a little bit, and I was woken up by your kid. The young man on the other side of the last car, rubbing his sleepy eyes, yawned
Because of their profession, these mercenaries have developed the habit of sleeping while walking.
"Brother Mu, it's okay. Lao Zhou's concerned voice also came
"Hehe, I was dreaming about being bitten by a she-wolf and woke up in a fright. Su Sheng smiled while rubbing his pinched reddened arm.
"You can still see that it's a she-wolf, what are you kid thinking!" Lao Zhou was also evil, and said with a lewd smile
"Stinky boy, dare to curse me as a she-wolf. Wei Junyao, who was on the side, was embarrassed and angry by Su Sheng's words, and twisted Su Sheng's arm again as he spoke, but this time he didn't dare to push too hard.
Guan Ying, who was in front of the first carriage, was also alarmed by the movement of the two of them, sneered, and secretly thought, 'You can just take advantage of the fact that you can make a little more noise now, and when you get to the Bone Ridge, you won't have a chance.' ’
Although Su Sheng and Wei Junyao had a fuss for a while, the relationship between the two was not only not estranged, but a lot closer.
"Sister Wei, do you think there will be a problem with the things escorted this time?" Su Sheng asked again
Although he was pinched by Wei Junyao, for an idiot like him, the physical pain had long since disappeared, but he couldn't let go of the problem of the fire mine.
"It's already such a big problem, and if you hadn't found out that there was something wrong with Guan Ying and helped us steal the car, we might still be stuck there now, and we could only wait for death. Wei Junyao didn't understand Su Sheng's words, she naturally thought of the current crisis.
Hearing her say this, Su Sheng also secretly said that it is indeed necessary to think about how to get through the current level, which is the top priority.
Moreover, Su Sheng was not too sure that there was really a problem with the ore, after all, he had only just come into contact with the refining weapon, and he still knew a lot of things.
Thinking of this, Su Sheng didn't think about the ore anymore, and it was better to adjust his state to the best first.
"Sister Wei, I'll breathe for a while. After Su Sheng said hello, he leaned close to the carriage, grabbed the wheel with one hand, and then closed his eyes and followed the carriage forward.
This is also what I just learned from seeing those mercenaries do this, so that they will not go astray when they doze off, and they can keep up with the progress of the carriage.
"Hmm. Wei Junyao nodded, and stopped bothering him.
She was actually very tired, and there were too many things she had to worry about along the way, especially the changes she experienced at night, which made her even more exhausted, but thinking of the next crisis, she had to grit her teeth and persevere.
"Keep up at this speed, probably at dawn, we will reach the Buried Bone Ridge, and after the Buried Bone Ridge, we will speed up again. Therefore, there is no time to rest after dawn, if you are tired, you can rest by the car, and try to nourish your spirit as much as possible at night. Wei Junyao raised her voice and reminded.
Lao Zhou listened, a little surprised, they were already in a hurry a few days ago, but they didn't expect that the closer they got to Xuege Town, the more they hurried, although Lao Zhou didn't know what to do, but he trusted Wei Junyao's words very much, and also followed her tone and said, "Everyone has heard it, do what Miss Wei said." ”
"Good.... Several young people replied weakly, and they all found a way to rest.
It was Guan Ying, who was at the front, who showed a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth after hearing it, and thought to himself, "Hehe, is this chick in such a hurry to rush to the Buried Bone Ridge to find death!" However, I won't let you die so easily, hehe." Thinking of the girl's sultry curves and that unique temperament, Guan Ying couldn't help licking his lips and his eyes were lustful, and his heart was already making up for the girl's appearance when she was ravaged by him.
------
When the last darkness before dawn came, the chill swept over again.
Now, too, is the most exhausting time for people......
Just on the side of where Su Sheng and the others had stopped, in that forest, there were more than a dozen black shadows slowly moving towards this side.
But when the shadows finally made their way through the woods, they found it empty.
"What about people?" the black shadow in the lead, who was a little stronger, suddenly scolded.
"Why, Brother Dove, that kid is playing with us. A group of dark shadows behind him also immediately echoed angrily.
"Hmph, if you take the money from our blood prison and dare to play tricks on us, I will let him know how to write dead words. The black shadow called Brother Dove by the people behind him, after scolding, subconsciously weighed the long knife in his hand with his right hand, and raised the knife to his mouth, so that his fat meat tongue could lick it wantonly.
Everyone behind him, seeing this action of Brother Dove, especially the bloody knife, unconsciously retreated a little.
Because every time this dove brother wants to kill someone, he will lick the knife in his hand, it is said that it is to feel the blood in his knife in advance.
Brother Dove's full name is Tang Jiu, and he is the fifth leader of the Blood Prison Mercenary Group.
His position was won by this knife, and even the leaders before him felt a headache when facing this knife.
Tang Jiu's knife, which seems ordinary, but it is not simple, it is refined by a mortal-level refiner, and the blood qi that will be automatically condensed every time he kills someone can be stimulated when he is fighting, disturbing people's minds.
When his opponent faced him, not only had to deal with Tang Jiu's fierce sword technique, but also had to be able to maintain his sanity under the impact of that blood qi, which was not easy.
"Brother Dove, give the order to kill him. And they rejoiced.
But Tang Jiu waved his hand to stop the criticism of everyone behind him, although Tang Jiu was a little short-tempered, but he was able to become the fifth master, and he was indeed calmer than ordinary people.
When everyone's voices stopped, he said to a short black shadow beside him, "Yufei, go over and see, have they left any clues, these people are escorting a large amount of ore, yes, it can't be just gone." ”
"Yes, Brother Dove. The short black shadow named Yufei nodded and went to the front alone, while the rest stayed at the exit of the woods.
And there are indeed many traces here, traces of carriage crushing, traces of human activity, broken wheels, buried fires, buried pots for cooking, stews spit out by everyone, and blood stains from Xiao Wu being flattened by ore......
With these traces, in the eyes of an old Jianghu, the situation at that time can be restored to a rough approximation.
