【077】 A real bandit
According to this, there are more than thousands of miles in Cold Water City, and a large group of people and horses are marching towards the front, and the caravan of the mercenary group is still carrying a large number of goods, and more than a dozen horses are carrying a large number of materials, these things are the necessary materials that Cold Water City lacks, and these caravans rely on the difference in price to earn high profits, otherwise they would not have the money to hire such a large group of people to protect.
The mountain road was crooked, and Tang Fei, Hei Long and the others followed behind this group of caravans, struggling to move forward, passing through some jungles and canyons from time to time.
With such a large team of people, Tang Fei was not lonely at all, there was talk and laughter along the way, and the black dragon beside him did not stop talking along the way, a big man with such a long tongue really surprised Tang Fei.
After walking for a long time, there were no powerful beasts on the road, even if some eyeless little thieves wanted to cut the path halfway, but they were directly solved by the mercenary group, as for some ordinary spirit beasts that were not very powerful, they were killed by the black dragon in the first time, and then all the valuable things such as fur and horns were collected.
"I said Black Dragon, you are so worried about your own image, okay?You said that you are also a cultivator, why are you so greedy for money?" Tang Fei looked at the Black Dragon who was sorting out his package and said angrily.
"What do you know, money is just a passing cloud for us cultivators, useless, what I want to pursue is only the cultivation avenue!" Facing Tang Fei's questioning, the black dragon said disdainfully.
"And, as long as you're still chasing the Great Dao, you might as well concentrate on pursuing your wealth!" Tang Fei shook his head and sighed.
The black dragon was silent, but the head of the regiment in front of him turned his head and smiled:
"Little brother, you misunderstood the black dragon this time, the black dragon was not like this before, otherwise I would not have been able to help him like this, the two of us were originally fellow villagers, when we went to the Snow God Mountain in Cold Water City to worship the mountain to learn art, but in the end we were rejected because we had no money to do it.
I have already given up, but the black dragon is wholeheartedly trying to pursue the avenue in his heart, he is so greedy for money in fact, he wants to raise some money to take care of it and enter the Snow God Mountain to learn art!"
The head of the group's words made Tang Fei couldn't help but look at the black dragon with admiration, a rough look at the black dragon was at least thirty years old, and he actually wanted to learn more advanced spiritual arts, Tang Fei admired it in his heart.
Along the way, he no longer sneered at the black dragon, and sometimes he also gave him the spirit beasts he caught, and every time the black dragon smiled and did not refuse.
From the mouth of the black dragon, Tang Fei also inquired about some things about Snow God Mountain, generally sects will generally look for some elegant environment and abundant spiritual energy on the mountains to open a sect, but Snow God Mountain seems to be an exception, it actually established the sect in the center of Cold Water City.
Moreover, the external disciples are widely recruited, first the outer disciples, if they have outstanding performance or have made some contributions, they can be turned into inner disciples, and enjoy some benefits that the outer disciples do not have.
Whenever he was discussing Snow God Mountain, Tang Fei noticed the look of expectation on the black dragon's face, although he had tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide it from Tang Fei's eyes, this person was really a person who was persistent in cultivation.
The black dragon is persistent, why not Tang Fei?
Therefore, every time Tang Fei looked at the black dragon, he felt that he had some sympathy with him, but his own experience was different from him, the other party was because he did not have a profound cultivation method, so he could only work hard to enter the Snow God Mountain in exchange for a cultivation method, and whether he was a profound cultivation method or a spirit beast, there was no shortage of spiritual weapons, but he provoked a large number of enemies who wanted to seek revenge for themselves, and they could not live in peace.
The Snow God Mountain is huge, and the huge force makes Tang Fei a little moved, this is not a small sect like the Nanshan Sect, but a small sect that has grown to the point that the empire does not dare to attack him at will, and can only be appeased.
Tang Fei thought that if he could join in, maybe the forces he offended might not dare to move him, but then he had to get enough status in the Snow God Mountain, an insignificant small role, the Snow God Mountain would definitely not give him enough protection.
Cold Water City was farther than Tang Fei expected, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so it took three days to walk, and Tang Fei inquired with the people accompanying him and learned that it was only half the way.
Tang Fei was secretly glad that he didn't go on the road alone, if this barren mountain was really a person in a hurry, even if he didn't have to worry about danger, this loneliness alone was enough to make a person crazy.
The black dragon is still tirelessly searching for everything that can be scraped, according to what he said, after this business is completed, the money he saved is basically enough, and he has already planned to go to Snow God Mountain to try his luck after going to Cold Water City this time.
On the fifth day, a group of people entered a deep canyon, and as soon as they entered, Tang Fei felt that something was wrong, because this place was too quiet, although there were not many beasts and birds on the road, but every time they walked a distance, there would be some noise in the forest on the side of the road, but when they arrived here, it was as silent as death!
If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, Tang Fei was secretly vigilant in his heart, but the crowd in his companions did not find anything abnormal, and they still talked and laughed.
Seeing that everyone had no reaction, Tang Fei was secretly anxious in his heart, but it was difficult to say, because then his cultivation was very likely to be exposed, so Tang Fei could only continue to follow the large army without changing his face.
It wasn't until after walking for several miles that the bull and lion spirit beast under the captain's crotch finally reacted, stopped, and was a little uneasy to kick the soil, and the black dragon also seemed to feel that something was wrong, and looked around vigilantly.
At this time, the troops had already gone deep into the canyon, and there was a very narrow pass in front of them, as soon as the regiment commander stopped, the team behind him naturally stopped, and some people had not yet noticed, looking at the regiment commander with a bewildered face, obviously not knowing why their regiment commander had stopped.
The deep canyon was silent, except for the restless kicking of the spirit beast under the leader's crotch, there was no sound at all.
Everyone was silent for three minutes, and nothing happened, but the face of the head of the regiment did not ease, and there were no major obstacles along the way, and they were almost about to arrive at Hanshui City safely.
But the more critical the moment comes, the more danger tends to arise, because in the end almost all of us become a little slack, and are no longer as cautious as they were at the beginning.
"What the hell is going on?" asked the black dragon.
"I don't know, my spirit beast only behaves like this when it's dangerous, and there must be some danger waiting for us ahead. The regimental commander replied.
The black dragon was silent, although he did not nominally belong to this black unicorn mercenary group, but the leader of this group was his fellow countryman, and he had helped him many times, he definitely couldn't stand idly by, if there was any danger, he couldn't just walk away.
Just when the two were silent, suddenly there was a sound of brushing in the mountain streams on both sides.
"Ahh
It was actually a dense array of arrows that emerged from the mountain streams on both sides.
"All dismounted! Defense!" After all, the regiment commander had experienced a lot of such things, and he calmly commanded his mercenaries to defend.
The thick shields lit up, protecting the merchant group in the middle, and the people of the mercenary group directly formed a large circle, surrounding the people of the caravan, and Tang Fei was also pulled into the area protected by the shield by the black dragon.
