Chapter 018: Jiaoqi's Fury
Several carriages slowly drove towards the city gate under the reflection of the last rays of the setting sun......
At this time, although it was already evening, the hustle and bustle of Yunxia Town had not diminished in the slightest, and the busy streets were full of pedestrians coming and going, so it was not lively.
"Zixiu, tell me quickly, is the scar on that old man Xu's face related to the legendary ancient beast...... Yun Tian asked with great interest.
Zixiu looked at Yun Tian's eager look, and he was also suddenly interested. "Do you really want to know?" Zixiu said with a wicked smile and a slow tone.
"Yes, yes......"
"I have to do this...... Think about it" Zixiu put his legs on the wooden bench on the side, stretched his waist, and was full of energy.
"Don't sell it, don't say it, then I'm too lazy to ask, you can hold it yourself" Yun Tian said casually as if he didn't care.
Although the two have known each other for no more than a day, Yun Tian already has a general understanding of the temperament of the rich young master in front of him.
Although Zixiu is a rich young master, he is favored by the whole house. But he is not like most rich young masters, who have an arrogant and arrogant attitude, and live a luxurious and erosive life. In addition to the usual discipline of his father, Master Nan, this should be more determined by Zixiu's natural character. He is just a simple young master who is not bad in nature, but loves the mysterious things of the continent for ten minutes.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you......" In the end, Zixiu still couldn't hold back, and said a little impatiently.
"Say it," Yun Tian said with a smile on his face, 'Don't say it'.
"It's a bit long ago to talk about this, and I also talked about it unintentionally when I chatted with my father later" Zixiu said this at the beginning, and he instantly came to his spirit.
"It happened about 27 years ago, when two legendary Jiaoqi beasts escaped from the imperial capital, Beicheng, which is said to be a congratulatory gift when the king of the southern Xinjiang domain wanted to crown the 59th king. What is that unicorn...... By the way, do you know what a king's crown is?" Zi Xiu suddenly paused and asked Yun Tian as if he suddenly remembered something.
Looking at Yun Tian's somewhat dazed expression, Zi Xiu sighed helplessly, "Hey... I'll tell you about it from the beginning."
Yun Tian didn't say much, just nodded with a smile, thinking a little self-deprecatingly in his heart, "It's the same from where you speak, I may not be able to understand, anyway, you just need to speak, and it's better to talk more than not to talk at all."
"The crowning of the king is a ceremony in which the previous king is handed over to the next successor. Since the first king, it has continued to the present. The king is changed every 30 years, and this tradition will not change unless there is a special circumstance or accident, so whenever there is a crown ceremony, it is the biggest event in the country, and all countries on the mainland, whether they are friendly with each other or not, will symbolically appoint a mission to participate in this grand event. At the same time, they will also offer their own congratulatory gifts, and one of the national vassal kings, in order to curry favor with the new king, privately ordered his cronies to go around to find spirit beasts to present to the new king, and they must be ancient spirit beasts, like ancient spirit beasts are not only rare but also extremely dangerous. It is estimated that God favored this vassal king who was eager to pat himself on the back, and he really found an injured spirit beast - Jiaoqi. ”
"Didn't you just say that there were two Jiaoqi who escaped from Beicheng?" Yun Tian asked with some confusion.
"Don't worry, listen to me first"
"This Jiaoqi is an extremely fierce spirit beast, the appearance looks like the size of an adult war horse, with a lion-like body, the head is like a hairy snake head, and the difference with the snake is that it has three eyes, and has two extremely sharp ears, the whole body is iron blue, and it can be ranked in the top twenty on the spirit beast record"
"At that time, the king of southern Xinjiang sent a total of eight teams of the most elite soldiers and horses to search for them all over the mainland, and in addition, he also secretly asked the Jianghu forces to assist at a high price. One of the teams was passing through Fengkun Mountain, which is not far from here, and accidentally found the traces of Jiaoqi. So he began to search for the mountain, and it was not until half a month later that the traces of the Jiaoqi were found in the depths of Fengkun Mountain. And what made them even more excited was that it turned out to be a seriously injured Jiaoqi.
Jiaoqi's strength is extraordinary, its ferocity is notoriously fierce, although it is not as powerful as the Northern Wolves you see, but there are even fewer who can fight Jiaoqi and seriously injure him. You can imagine how strong the other party is. Therefore, the guards were more cautious and kept following from a distance, firstly to wait for reinforcements, and secondly, to wait for the opportunity to take Jiaoqi down in one fell swoop when he was defenseless. Eventually, Jiaoqi stopped in front of an extremely secret cave.
At this time, there was another even more surprising discovery, it turned out that the injured head was a female, and there were two small Jiaoqi in the cave, so they temporarily changed their plan, instead of taking away an injured Jiaoqi, it was better to take the two small Jiaoqi away.
After deliberating and deciding, they immediately sent people back to double the number of troops. Although there are nearly two hundred of them here, and all of them are veterans of the battlefield, and there are even a few Quartes who are not low-ranked. This is like a small army with high combat power, even if it encounters an enemy several times its size, it can be fought in one battle, and it can even be guaranteed not to fall behind.
But this time the situation was different, and they knew very well in their hearts that the enemy and the enemy were not in the same order of magnitude at all. Although on the opposite side is a seriously injured Jiaoqi, and two small cubs that look harmless to humans and animals. But judging from the deeds that Jiaoqi has been circulating in people's hearts, if you fight hard, it will definitely be given for nothing, and within a round, the dinner of the two little cubs will be there.
So they immediately decided that the first and only thing they could do at the moment was to get their hands together first, and then discuss the next countermeasures.
The team set up camp about five thousand meters away from Jiaoqi, this Jiaoqi is the top twenty anti-heaven level existence on the spirit beast record, if it is discovered at this time, it will be useless. Therefore, they do not dare to have the slightest sloppiness, under normal circumstances, it can be detected within a thousand zhang. If it weren't for the fact that there was a soul explorer in the entourage, it would have been almost impossible for them to find Jiaoqi. So to be on the safe side, they moved a little farther away. But even so, something happened in the end......
As the night progressed, the forest became quieter, and there was no sound except for the occasional roar of beasts.
The members of the squad rest in batches to maintain their strength. At this moment, a shocking beast roar suddenly came from not far away, and an ominous premonition instantly rose in the hearts of the soldiers, even if these were soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles and experienced countless swords and blood, they were extremely nervous in their hearts at this moment, and the source of that roar was the injured Jiaoqi.
It turned out that Jiaoqi had already discovered this group of soldiers of unknown origin, and although they were as careful as possible and set up camp as far away from Jiaoqi's hiding place as possible, they still neglected a crucial factor.
That is the Jiaoqi at this moment, its habits can no longer be inferred according to common sense, in the Jiaoqi who has just experienced a battle of life and death, at this time it is already a frightened bird, and the slightest wind and grass will be noticed by her. The cunning Jiaoqi did not act rashly without fully understanding the incoming enemy during the day, but waited for the opportunity and waited for the night to fall.
All the soldiers were instantly refreshed, and there was no trace of sleepiness. The soldiers showed their blades one after another, patrolling around vigilantly. But no abnormality was found, and the surroundings fell into boundless silence again, I don't know how long later, with a scream, groups of soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the god of death did not give them the slightest time to react, and they didn't even see where Jiaoqi's true body was, and the camp was instantly chaotic, and the screams were endless.
This may be the first time they have felt fear, a fear from the bottom of their hearts, and in an instant, there are now less than ten people left in the original team of 100 people, perhaps it is the natural instinct of people. The remaining less than ten soldiers began to run wildly, one of them was like a general, just ran forward without a life, did not dare to look back, from time to time there was a wail behind him, before he ran a hundred steps before he felt a cold wind behind him, the young general looked back in the rush, a sense of despair arose, only to see a huge beast claw stained with blood, has fallen rapidly from the top of his head. The speed was terrifying, just when he was disheartened and waiting for death, he found that the Jiaoqi that was rushing suddenly stopped, although the Jiaoqi slowed down in time, but the beast claw was too fast, and finally smashed heavily on the general's cheek.
Jiaoqi immediately let out a loud roar, different from just now, the roar was not only angry, but also with a trace of despair, Jiaoqi turned around and ran quickly like his own territory. Only the young man who was not just dead but alive was left lying in a pool of blood......"
"The young man...... It's that old Mr. Xu, right" Yun Tian's blood boiled a little when he listened
"That's right, the young general who was seriously injured is the current old Mr. Xu," Zixiu nodded
"Back then, it was the old man of the Shen family who accidentally found him when he went into the mountains to hunt, and when he saw that there was a breath, he brought him back. It took about a year to raise Mr. Xu before he slowly recovered, maybe he was grateful to the Shen family, or maybe he was afraid of this experience, and finally Mr. Xu decided to stay, and then Mr. Xu told Mr. Shen about what happened, 1510......"
"Then it seems that Mr. Xu can survive, and his life is really big enough" Yun Tian seemed to have just experienced it himself, and he had not yet calmed down. There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and my mind was still unconsciously recalling the thrilling scene just now.
"Hmm, no, why is it suddenly quiet outside" Yun Tian had been immersed in the fierce battle just now, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, when Zi Xiu finished speaking, Yun Tian was shocked and suddenly found that the noise outside the car just now disappeared at some point.
When Zi Xiu heard him say this, he also felt a little strange, this was not the first time he had come, the Shen Mansion was the most prosperous area in the entire town, and it was not late at night at this time, why was it so quiet?
Both looked out at the same time
"Huh? This is ...... Where?!"
