Chapter 193: The Lu Clan's Firm
The tip of the giant crocodile curled its tongue back, squeaked, bitten the prey into pieces, and swallowed it.
Blood overflowed, washed by the torrent, and floated into the distance.
A generation of Tianjiao Han Xingyuan has fallen.
Xiao Nan used his magic power to fish intestines, the stone in his heart fell, and he turned around and swam out of the river.
"This place is not suitable for long, and I must find a safe place to rest as soon as possible. β
He looked back at the river, worried that the giant crocodile might chase after him at any moment.
Located at the foot of the mountain, several natural caves crisscross the river, cutting the river in different directions.
Xiao Nan was worried that more terrifying monsters would appear in this gloomy cave, so he went against the trend for a distance.
He drew his winged sword and climbed up the steep rock wall.
After a while, a dense forest appeared in front of me.
Countless branches stretched out along the cross face of the cliff, thick and knotted, lush and green.
He jumped onto the edge of the cliff, grabbed a branch, and went up to the road.
The chirping of birds came from afar.
The woods are filled with the scent of grass and trees, with the occasional faint scent of flowers.
"Finally, I've escaped!"
Xiao Nan breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the way he came with palpitations.
This breath stretched out, and the tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he realized that his whole body was aching and exhausted.
"The ground is overgrown with weeds, and there are poisonous insects lurking. I can't be careless, otherwise I will lose my life, but I will walk a hundred miles and half ninety. β
Xiao Nan glanced around, found a big tree with a wide field of vision and thick branches, climbed up, and sat on it to sit and pranayama.
The accompanying spiritual soil of the Heavenly Mandate Sycamore was all consumed by him, and the residual effect gradually dissipated.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and there was a sparkle in them.
The eyes, which were as bright as the stars, were restored to full radiance.
"Next, try to return to Nanli. β
He looked up at the sky and was ready to go.
If you're lucky, maybe you can even bump into Wang Dalong on the way back.
He thought to himself, and he didn't mind completing the commission of Tianyu Pavilion with his hands.
However, he faintly sensed that there should be a deep connection between the two commissions of hunting Wang Dalong and hunting Han Xingyuan.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, the content of the commission is so similar, and the two of them happened to form an alliance in the barren mountains.
It should be someone who sensed their intentions in advance and deliberately arranged means to stop them.
Who could this person be?
Xiao Nan couldn't help but think of a person in his heart, and then shook his head, feeling impossible.
He put aside his speculation and walked out of the forest.
Going out through the dense forest is the road that leads to the bottom of the mountain.
Xiao Nan roughly figured out the direction, but he hadn't yet made out the detailed location.
"Let's go down the mountain and see if we can find the right way to trade. β
He compared the topographic map around the Nanli tribe in the sea and did not gain anything for a while.
So, he walked along the dense forest and quickly descended the mountain.
After the tea time, he did not find the main road, but saw a caravan slowly moving in the mountain and forest path.
"It's strange, judging by their outfits, they should be a caravan from Tai'an, why don't they take the road of trade, but walk in this path?"
Xiao Nan observed cautiously, found a tall and dense tree, and hid it in the leaves on the branches.
At this time, we are not clear, and this is not the time to appear.
The caravan approached, revealing more content.
The mountain trail is not allowed to be driven, and the group leads several brown alpacas slowly.
These alpacas are huge, have a spacious back, and carry wagons in which they can be ridden or cargo.
They are all common demon beasts of the same product, and they are a characteristic pack beast in captivity in Tai'an country, with a docile temperament and a flat alpaca.
Like tamed animals such as snow rhinos and wildebeests, they are all common tools.
Because it is often used by caravans to and fro for consignment, in order to get a good omen, it is also called a safe camel.
The carriages of this caravan were carved with elk motifs, with antlers and a circle marked with the word "deer" in the corner.
"It turned out to be someone from the Tai'an Guolu Firm. Xiao Nan immediately recognized the origin of the caravan, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
"The spring trade has not yet ended, why did they return early? And they traveled lightly, detouring from the trail, as if they were avoiding something?"
He pondered for a moment, remembering the incident of the two caravans falling out that he had heard in the Wang Clan and Tianyu Pavilion, and he had some clarity in his heart.
Han Xingyuan, on behalf of the royal family of Tai'an Kingdom, attacked the Lu family firm at the bottom of Donglong Lake, took the lead, and then suppressed it.
On the one hand, in order to form an alliance with the Wang clan, and on the other hand, in order to make some arrangements in advance, they left the Nanli tribe in advance.
The two were within the Nanli tribe, and they were suppressed by the guardian elder Han Shi, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly and collided head-on.
But once you get out of the Nanli tribe, everything is different.
The Lu family was already at a disadvantage, and when he saw Han Xingyuan suddenly leave Nanli, he was worried that the other party would take the opportunity to lay a net, so he dispatched overnight and took advantage of the path.
If they didn't guess wrong, they had a plan to avoid Han Xingyuan and flee quickly.
But is it really that simple?
Han Xingyuan's indifferent and calm face appeared in Xiao Nan's mind, and he shook his head slightly, how could such a Tianjiao of Tai'an Country not expect this.
If you don't have this variable, I'm afraid the other party has already led the crowd to surround this place!
As he pondered, the situation changed suddenly.
Arrows burst out of the dense forest and headed straight for the caravan in the middle of the road.
"Enemy attackβ"
One of the people in the middle of the caravan hurriedly shouted loudly.
Immediately, six figures faced each other, wielding their swords to stop most of the arrows.
The archery skills of these archers are wide open, relying on one strength and speed to kill the enemy, which is completely different from the exquisite archery skills of the Ye clan of the Nanli tribe.
They stopped the main arrows, but they did not care for the small number of arrows that were fired at the peace camels.
The arrowhead made of fine iron entered the body, and immediately caused the blood of several huge camels to bubble up, and they fell to the ground in a hurry.
The carriage on the body was suddenly skewed, and two figures fell from the carriage of one of them, and the rest dropped a lot of goods.
Killing people shoots horses first, which immediately brings the entire caravan to a halt and falls into a situation of death fighting.
"Kill!"
A cold shout rang out in the jungle.
Dozens of black, masked figures immediately jumped out of their hiding places and surrounded the Lu clan's caravan.
"Uncle Ming, how are your injuries?"
The two people who fell in the middle of the caravan were quite young, with a handsome face and two conspicuous ears.
The other person, middle-aged, with gray hair and thick eyebrows, and a long black knife hanging from his waist, even if his face was weak, he still had a domineering aura on his body.
"Young master, this time it was I who dragged you down. β
The middle-aged swordsman shook his head slightly with concern in his eyes.
"If I hadn't been careless and was attacked by Han Xingyuan's gang, why would we have ended up where we are now. β
