"Brother."

The door of the luxurious carriage opened, and Xiao Wu's little brain poked out.

It's just that when he saw the ambiguous situation of Yang Ming and Vice President Liu Erlong being close to each other in the carriage, Xiao Wu's small mouth showed an O-shape, and then with lightning speed, he was about to close the door of the carriage.

"Excuse me."

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yang Ming and Liu Erlong's faces, and they almost said in unison:

"Xiao Wu, it's not what you think."

Xiao Wu looked at Yang Ming on the left and Liu Erlong on the right, his big eyes were full of question marks, and then he suddenly realized and said:

"I see."

What do you really understand?

Yang Ming felt that things were a bit big, if Xiao Wu misunderstood the relationship between him and Liu Erlong, how bad it would be if it was spread out, so he immediately coughed and said:

"Xiao Wu, don't think about it, I'm just discussing those royal knights outside with the vice dean."

While speaking, Yang Ming frantically gave Liu Erlong a look of expression.

Liu Erlong comprehended it in his heart, and said it seriously:

"Speaking of which, the five hundred royal knights outside are worthy of being the trump cards of the Heaven Dou Empire, although everyone is a nobleman, comparable to the royal relatives, but they are still neatly organized, extremely disciplined, and not arrogant at all, this is really rare, if it weren't for their escort, we wouldn't have come all the way, all the cities greeted us with the highest standard, and we didn't encounter any trouble."

In the Heaven Dou Empire, knights belong to the lowest nobles, but they are also members of the nobility.

Yang Ming and Liu Erlong didn't explain, but as soon as they explained, Xiao Wu's expressions became more and more playful, and they looked at the two of them meaningfully.

Even a person with a thick skin like a steel plate can't stand Xiao Wu's gaze, not to mention that Yang Ming and Liu Erlong are not the kind of people with extremely thick skin, so they immediately smiled on their faces, feeling a little restless.

Just as Yang Ming was about to continue to forcibly explain a wave, suddenly, a cold aura came from not far away.

Most of their teams walked on official roads, which allowed four carriages to run parallel at the same time, and were a necessary place for traffic between cities, unless there were some places where they could take shortcuts, the convoy would selectively take some remote roads.

And at this moment, it was the time for the convoy to take a shortcut, and it was between two low hills, from which it was said that it could save dozens of miles of travel, and although the mountain path was narrower, it was also flat, and the carriage had no problem walking through it.

Originally, according to the leader of the convoy, this road has never had any accidents, and it can reach the destination ahead of schedule, which is an excellent route.

But just like that, it's such a coincidence, and the accident happened here.

No, sometimes, an unexpected accident may not be an accident, but an inevitability!

The gloomy and cold aura came from the mountains on both sides of the path, and it was naturally not only Yang Ming and the three people in the carriage who felt this, but don't underestimate the group of royal knights who guarded them, even if they didn't mention that they were the ace army of the Heaven Dou Empire, just because they could become nobles, it meant that they had at least the strength of a Soul Venerable of level 30 or above.

The captain of the Royal Knights held a martial soul long sword in his hand, the long sword was unsheathed, the cold light was sparkling, the tip of the sword was obliquely facing the sky, his eyes were staring at the direction where the cold breath came from, he didn't know why, he felt an uneasiness inexplicably.

The higher the level of the soul master, the more diversified the application of soul power becomes, and this captain of the Royal Knights obviously tends to the application of soul power to the perceptual aspect, so he has such a feeling.

The captain had always trusted his own perceptions, and it was precisely because of this that he felt more and more uneasy.

They have five hundred royal knights here, and there are also teachers and students of the participating academies, their strength is not bad at all, what kind of person can make him feel this uneasiness?

The captain shook his head, leaving the uneasiness in his heart behind, remembering that before leaving, the Snowy Night Emperor solemnly entrusted the escort task to himself, and he must protect the safety of this group of teachers and students, the captain opened his heart, his face regained his composure, and let out a majestic roar from his chest:

"All teammates listen to the order, be on alert!"

The Royal Knights deserved to be the trump card of the Heaven Dou Empire, and they were really well-trained, and with the captain's order, all the members of the Royal Knights who were guarding the soul masters clenched the knight spears in their hands one after another, with a murderous aura in their eyes.

However, the teachers and students of the academy who went to Wuhun City to prepare for the competition did not have a sense of crisis at all, and they looked relaxed throughout the whole process, as if they were on vacation, and some people and their partners pointed at the royal knights around them, as if they felt ridiculous for making such a fuss.

This is true for the students, and the same is true for the teachers.

Although it is said that the teachers and students of the academy who can go to the finals are very strong individually, and even some of them are much stronger than the royal knights, but after all, they are teachers and students in the ivory tower, and it is difficult to have this kind of iron-like discipline without the experience of iron and blood.

Of course, the teachers and students of these high-level soul master academies relied on their own promising prospects and despised those royal knights, which was also one of the reasons.

Of course, they do have this proud capital, after all, aside from those students, those teachers who accompanied the students are not lacking in the existence of the Soul King Soul Emperor Soul Saint level, as for the existence of Contra Douluo, there is no one, but with this power alone, it is enough to face a large army of more than 10,000 people.

For various reasons, the whole team has formed a situation of tightening on the outside and loosening on the inside.

However, soon the slap in the face happened.

With the sound of a desolate horn, the next moment, countless falling rocks rolled down from the hills on both sides like raindrops, and these falling rocks not only appeared very abruptly, but also very neatly, clearly premeditated and organized, and quickly rolled downward.

Seeing the direction in which these falling rocks were falling, the captain of the Royal Knights suddenly changed his face and said:

"It's not good, don't let these falling rocks fall, otherwise, our way forward and retreat will be blocked by these falling rocks!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

You know, the trail they are on now is surrounded by hills on both sides, and there is only the middle road, and once the front and rear rows are blocked, they can only climb the mountain on both sides and cross over.

But you know with your toes that since the unknown enemy dares to do this, they must have laid a net on the hills on both sides, and once the convoy intends to break through from both sides, it will definitely fall into the enemy's trap!
