After nearly half a month's trek, the convoy escorted by Qin Shijie and them was already approaching the Duyang Mountain Range. All the way was safe, and everyone couldn't help but relax a lot.

At night, around the bonfire, many warriors sat around eating, drinking, barbecue, and wine, talking and laughing.

According to this itinerary, as long as there are no accidents, you should be able to arrive at the barracks at sunset tomorrow afternoon, and as soon as the task is handed over, everyone will be happy and comfortable to get a contribution.

The convoy was stationed in a clearing not far from a dense mountain forest. At this time, it was the time to finish eating and repairing, and it was very lively.

Qin Shijie and Meng Dehui sat around the bonfire, eating the dry food in their hands, talking and laughing. After so many days of contact, Qin Shijie and the three of them have become familiar with each other.

Just as the four of them were sitting together, eating, drinking, and laughing, in the mountains and forests about half a mile behind the four of them, more and more eyes with a ghostly light faintly appeared.

The ghostly light continued to emerge, and the beasts could be seen one after another. There were some people standing next to the groups of fierce beasts, staring indifferently at Qin Shijie and his group.

I saw a leader-like figure standing among the beasts, muttering a few strange cries in his mouth, and the various beasts in the forest suddenly lowered their waists and made an attack.

Some of the humans standing quickly turned over and climbed onto the beasts beside them, and with a wave of the leader's hand, many beasts quickly rushed out of the mountains and forests.

The humans on the backs of the beasts that escaped from the mountains and forests reached out of their backs and shot arrows into the convoy. Because Qin Shijie was sitting in the bright place of the bonfire, they didn't find the arrows that were shooting quickly from the darkness.

Qin Shijie, who was talking and laughing with Meng Dehui, his heart tightened in an instant, the hairs on his whole body stood up, and his heart suddenly hung to the extreme. He looked sideways and saw that several feather arrows had already flown towards them, and the feather arrows were shot from the backs of Meng Dehui and the others, and they didn't see them.

"Danger!"

Qin Shijie quickly rolled to the side and shouted at the same time. Several arrows shot at the four of them with precision, and after Qin Shijie rolled over, the arrow that was aimed at him shot into the hard ground with a thud.

Although they were reminded by Qin Shijie, the other three were not so lucky, the extremely fast arrow shot directly through Meng Dehui in the academy uniform from behind like lightning, and the arrow ran out from the front of his chest, and flew dozens of meters forward before falling.

Fang Zhengsong was shot in the head by an arrow, his brain splattered, and he fell to the ground silently. Lan Qing was lucky, and under Qin Shijie's reminder, his body dodged slightly, letting go of the vital parts, and the arrow hit him in the shoulder, piercing a hole.

Meng Dehui, who was shot in the chest, was not yet dead, covering the hole in his chest, his eyes were round, and he made a faint sound in his mouth, and fell to the ground, some of his eyes were longing for life, and some were endless fear, but as the blood came out of the hole, his eyes were completely dimmed after a while, and the whole person was motionless.

In an instant, two of the four were killed and one was injured.

It was only then that a terrible scream rang out in the convoy, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

After receiving the first wave of arrows, the warriors in the convoy suffered heavy casualties. Everyone quickly gathered together, and just as they were about to react, a large group of fierce beasts burst out of the darkness, some of which had human warriors riding on their backs.

"It's the beast legion of the Hongdu Empire! be careful!" a mournful shout rang out in the crowd. Suddenly hearing this shout, everyone exclaimed again.

The Hongdu Empire was in the northwest of the Pingtang Empire, and because of the border, the two empires were constantly in dispute, and they would often send small groups of troops into the country to harass them. The warriors of the Hongdu Empire are good at controlling beasts, and the Beast Legion is the iconic army of the Hongdu Empire.

Groups of beasts rushed to the assembled team like a tide, and in an instant everyone and the beasts were fighting together.

Song Ziwen, the only Martial Monarch Realm martial artist in the team, jumped out with a loud shout, and the sword in his hand turned into a golden light that shot towards the beasts, splitting the seven or eight fierce beasts and the martial artists on their backs into several sections. Causing everyone to exclaim, this is an extremely powerful metal martial artist.

Before everyone could cheer for long, the leader of the beast herd rode out of the crowd riding a tiger with antlers, and quickly fought with Song Ziwen, the leader of the beast herd was surrounded by a rich earthy yellow color, obviously an earthy martial artist, but the aura was slightly worse than Song Ziwen's, but with the antlers under the crotch, they were also evenly matched.

When the beasts pounced on everyone, Qin Shijie had already pulled out the Yanyu knife behind his back in the crowd and was ready to fight. A tiger-striped leopard without a martial artist on its body opened its mouth wide, jumped up and bit straight at Qin Shijie.

Qin Shijie lowered his waist slightly, his upper body flashed to the side, and let go of the tiger-striped leopard, at the same time, the aura was running, and the Yanyu knife in his hand flashed a trace of fire, and stabbed into the belly of the leopard flying above his head.

The tiger leopard howled in pain, and flew straight backwards with inertia, while the knife in Qin Shijie's hand slashed forward.

"Bump!" the tiger-striped leopard fell to the ground, its entire abdomen dissected. The ordinary civilians around who were driving the car suddenly exclaimed. Qin Shijie didn't pay attention to this leopard, and in a flash, he rushed towards another beast.

Among the enemies attacked this time, although there were many beasts, there were not many fierce beasts adulterated in them, and most of them were ordinary beasts.

After the initial chaos, the people of the convoy quickly organized themselves, and the battle with the herd was impressive. Even three or four ordinary civilians who were driving the car could compete with a beast of prey.

The two sides of the battle were inseparable, and at this moment, in the originally gloomy sky, there was a sudden "boom", a violent thunderous roar, and then bursts of lightning and thunder.

Scattered raindrops fell, and soon turned into a torrential downpour.

The bonfire that had been at the convoy's station was quickly extinguished by the rain, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.

In the dark night, only the sound of swords intersecting, occasionally flashing the attribute light of the warrior, and at the same time, the frequency of human screams was even more.

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling golden light flashed in the distance, turning into a shining golden light, shooting towards a cloud of earthy yellow light. The earthy yellow light was shot and tossed into the distance, and then a tiger roar was heard in the darkness.

In the darkness, there were suddenly bursts of unknown strange grunts, and when they heard these grunts, the beasts and warriors who were fighting with the convoy quickly broke away from the battle and quickly rushed into the darkness.

The sound of battle quickly calmed down. I only heard a loud shout from the darkness: "Those who have the Burning Sun Stone on their body, take out the Burning Sun Stone to illuminate it!"

The Flame Sun Stone is a stone similar to a crystal stone, and after only a trace of aura needs to be injected into the Flame Sun Stone, it will emit a soft glow like the sun, and the brightness is much brighter than that of a torch. It's just that the Flame Sun Stone is more expensive, and it needs to be infused with aura every moment for it to shine.

Soon, the entire station was lit up one after another in different positions, and the entire station gradually brightened.

Qin Shijie took out a Flame Sun Stone from the mustard seed ring, and after injecting it with aura, the darkness around his body seemed to be dispelled, and it was bright.

Looking at everything around him, only half of the people standing at the moment remained, the ground was full of people, some of the injured were howling, and many more were falling to the ground motionless.

In this attack, the convoy suffered heavy casualties. Soon, under the command of Song Ziwen, various matters were arranged in an orderly manner.

Qin Shijie held the Burning Sun Stone in his hand and walked to the bonfire where he and Meng Dehui were sitting before, only to see a few pieces of torn Mingqing Academy's uniforms scattered on the ground, and Meng Dehui's body had been torn apart by the beast, and the whole scene was miserable.

Qin Shijie's pupils contracted for a while.

At this moment, Lan Qing grabbed a knife and walked over with blood stains, and he also saw such a scene.

After a period of silence, he said to Qin Shijie: "Meng Dehui and Fang Zhengsong's mustard seed bags are gone, and the treasures on their bodies are all gone. It should be that in the battle just now, he was taken away by the people of the Hongdu Empire. ”

Hearing Lan Qing's words, Qin Shijie reacted and took a closer look. Indeed, the bodies of both of them were in tatters, and the treasures on their bodies were looted.

Qin Shijie was silent for a while.

Whoever loses his life in a trial like this, even if the Mingqing Academy is strong, he will not deliberately take revenge. In the words of the Academy, sweet and attractive fruits cannot be grown in a greenhouse, and they must be weathered by wind and rain.

Of course, if it was deliberately aimed at the students of Mingqing Academy, it would be another matter.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and spit it out. muttered: "Is this a trial~ It's really cruel!"

After a long time, Qin Shijie adjusted his state, and his gaze became firm again. "No matter what, I must be strong to live. Since you have chosen to embark on this path, you can only grit your teeth and rush to the end!"

After dawn, the convoy was almost organized and set off for its destination again. The number of people in the entire convoy was reduced by half, and the number of supply vehicles was also reduced by a third, and everyone in the convoy hurried in silence, and there was an atmosphere of sadness.

At sunset in the afternoon, the convoy finally arrived at the army camp on the western border of the empire, and everyone's mood was a little better.

Qin Shijie and their group of warriors who were on an escort mission completed the task after confirming with the army's quartermaster. It's just that because the supplies are nearly one-third less, their mission completion level is only seven layers.

Qin Shijie looked at the proof documents for the completion of the task in his hand, and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's really difficult to get a mere seven hundred contribution points~"

This escort, if it weren't for Song Ziwen, the great master of the Martial Monarch Realm, it is estimated that the entire army would be wiped out, and it can really be said that it would be a life of nine deaths.

Qin Shijie shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, and after saying goodbye to Lan Qing, he walked alone to Duyang Mountain not far away.
