Chapter Thirty-Nine: Encounter with Desert Bandits
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Encountering Desert Bandits
"Senior Brother Li Hao, how many days will it take to get from Xianyang City to the border town?" After walking in the desert for seven days, Li Liehuo asked Li Hao, who was walking side by side with him.
Hearing Li Liehuo's question, Li Hao thought for a while, and then replied: "If there are no supplies, we can reach it in three days on horseback, but now that we are carrying so many war materials, it is estimated that it will take at least half a month to arrive." β
Li Liehuo nodded, finally looked at the long line of hundreds of carriages behind him, and said to himself: "I hope that there will be no trouble in the next journey." β
In fact, in the family trial, the battlefield is not the most dangerous place, because after all, this is an internal struggle under the main city of the Cangyan Empire, as long as the two sides can distinguish the winner and loser, most of the time the other party's family children are taken prisoner. The real danger is on the way back, if you encounter desert thieves, it is no joke, desert thieves will kill when they rob.
"Yes, the total value of the battle materials we brought this time is probably in the tens of thousands of gold coins, which is probably very attractive to the desert thieves. Li Hao also returned thoughtfully.
"Hehe, what are you afraid of, Senior Brother Li Hao, you are a bronze-level powerhouse, those little thieves want to come and rob us, it's just a light in the toilet to find death ()!" Li Liehuo said with a smile, but what Li Liehuo didn't say was that Ling'er's carriage was the strongest combat power, with Ling'er, a master, a master, and a guy who looked harmless to humans and animals, and the kitten next door could actually suppress the white-clothed Shura, if there were desert thieves to make trouble, it would be the real death.
"Agni, you're simply exalting me too much, and there are no longer a few bronze-level leaders among the desert thieves, so we'd better be careful. Li Hao is very aware of his strength, and he is not complacent and arrogant because he has reached the bronze level.
Hearing Li Hao's answer, Li Liehuo looked at Li Haogao again, and reached the bronze level, which is already considered to be the number one master in Xianyang City, and he reached the bronze level at such a young age.
"Agni, there is Sand Bay in front, we will go there to replenish fresh water in a while, but we must be careful, the frequency of desert thieves there is very high!" Li Hao said to Li Liehuo, and then shouted to the team behind: "We are about to enter Sand Bay, after a while, everyone will lift their spirits, the distance of the sentry will be increased from one kilometer to two kilometers, if you encounter desert thieves, notify everyone immediately, and be ready to fight at any time!"
"Yes!" Hearing Li Hao's shout, all the children of the Li family behind replied neatly, and the fifty people who were selected by Li Liehuo and Li Hao into their team gathered together to form a defensive formation.
"Agni, you better go to Ling'er's carriage, and you can concentrate on protecting Ling'er in a while. Li Hao said to Li Liehuo.
Hearing Li Hao's words, Li Liehuo nodded and turned his horse's head and walked towards Ling'er's carriage, his heart was speechless for a while, Li Hao didn't know, but Li Liehuo really knew very well that in the entire convoy, only Ling'er's carriage was the safest place. Everyone in the team only knew that Li Hao was a bronze-level master, but no one knew that Ling'er and Wulu were both terrifying existences whose strength was above Li Hao.
"Hee-hee, Brother Agni, are you here to protect me or let me protect you. Seeing Li Liehuo coming to his carriage, Ling'er said with a smile.
Hearing Ling'er's words, Li Liehuo was embarrassed for a while, but he still pretended to be righteous and stern: "Of course I'm here to protect my loveliest fiancΓ©e Ling'er." β
"Hmph, you'll say. Ling'er hugged Wulu, smiling like a flower, and the Wulu in Ling'er's arms was crying out of Wulu, but there was a hint of humanized contempt in his eyes and voice.
"Ling'er, we will go to supply in a while, there are usually desert thieves coming and going, and if there is a war in a while, you just have to hide in the carriage, and the fight is something like this, just leave it to our lords." Li Liehuo said machismoly.
Hearing Li Liehuo's words, Murong Ling laughed in a flattering manner, pointed at Li Liehuo and said, "Hehehe, Brother Agnihuo, you really don't know how ashamed you are, how old you are, you call yourself a big man, you really laugh at the dead soul." β
Seeing Ling'er smiling so brightly, Li Liehuo also smirked, indeed, now he is just a hairy boy who is not even eighteen years old, and it is indeed a bit weird to call himself a master.
"Wulu!!Wulu!!" At this moment, Wulu in Ling'er's arms suddenly jumped onto Li Liehuo's shoulder, and his body was bowed, and the cold hairs on his body stood up.
Because Li Liehuo and Wulu signed a blood contract, a strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously from Li Liehuo's heart, and this feeling was like the telepathy between Wulu and Li Liehuo, which also transmitted Wulu's sense of crisis to Li Liehuo.
"Wulu, are you saying there is danger ahead?" asked Li Liehuo in a low voice.
"Wulu!" Wulu nodded earnestly.
Wulu is the legendary emperor of the unicorn, the ink unicorn, and the sense of crisis of the ink unicorn must not be wrong!
"Ling'er, something may really happen in a while, don't come out of the carriage. Although Li Liehuo believes that Murong Ling has the ability to protect himself, but with Murong Ling's sinking appearance, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble as soon as he comes out, not to mention, Murong Ling is the woman Li Liehuo has decided, he is not like letting Ling'er be taken advantage of by those dirty desert thieves.
"Alright, I know, Brother Agni. Murong Ling replied sweetly and retreated into the carriage.
After seeing Ling'er return to the carriage, Li Liehuo turned his horse's head and rushed towards the front of the convoy.
"Hiss!!" With the neighing of the horses, Li Liehuo stopped at the front of the team with a sharp stop.
"Senior Brother Agni, what are you doing here, have you found something, but none of the spies we went out to investigate have come back yet. Li Hao looked at Li Liehuo with a puzzled expression, not knowing what Li Liehuo's purpose was in doing this.
"It's because they didn't come back that I think there's something wrong. In Shaziwan, we're afraid we're going to get into some minor trouble. Li Liehuo said meaningfully.
Hearing Li Liehuo say this, Li Hao pondered: "Yes, it's been an hour since the spies went out to investigate, and although our investigation scope has doubled, it's still no problem to report once in half an hour." Could it be that they have been caught by desert thieves or have already met with an accident?"
The conversation between the two was said after the team stopped advancing, so the conversation between the two was also listened to by many Li family disciples, those elite teams selected by Li Liehuo and Li Hao were fine, and those Li family children who were not selected by the two heard that there were desert thieves, and they immediately made a mess, and people were panicked for a while.
"I don't want to admit it, but it's very likely, so I think we need to plan our tactics, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the desert thieves in our current state. Li Liehuo pointed to the panicked Li family disciples behind him and said.
Hearing Li Liehuo say this, Li Hao also nodded: "Yes, there is only one place nearby that can supply water to Shaziwan, and it is probably difficult for them to fight in their current state." β
Li Liehuo turned his horse's head and said to the troops behind: "I'm sure you have also heard that there are very likely desert bandits ambushing there in Shaziwan in front, so in a while, we are very likely to encounter them!"
"Oh my God, desert thieves, there are really desert thieves, they will kill us!" Some of the Li family disciples suddenly shouted in fear, although they already have good strength, but after all, they are too young, most of them have not experienced life and death fighting, and now when they hear that they want to do it with real guns, of course they are a little caught off guard.
"Sure enough, it's a group of boys. Li Liehuo thought with disdain in his heart, and shouted to the back: "Those who are willing to participate in the battle will come to me first, and those who are not willing to participate in the battle will leave protective materials." β
Hearing Li Liehuo's roar, many people immediately chose to quit, but what made Li Liehuo feel relieved was that none of the fifty people selected by him and Li Hao chose to quit. A small half of the remaining dozens of people also chose to quit, and only a squad of fifteen people and a few free men chose to participate in the battle.
Seeing that among the more than thirty people who chose to quit, there was actually a ninth-order Li family disciple and a few eighth-order Li family disciples, and among the people who chose to fight, there were actually a few seventh-order Li family disciples, Li Liehuo couldn't help but look at those guys with high strength who chose to retreat with disdain: "A group of bad seeds!"
Hearing Li Liehuo's words, the few Li family disciples who had chosen to quit with high cultivation all blushed, but none of them refuted Li Liehuo's words, because what Li Liehuo said was originally the truth, and there was nothing to refute.
"Hmph, they are all descendants of the Second Elder. Li Hao said disdainfully beside him.
Hearing Li Hao say this, Li Liehuo just smiled, ignored those people and walked away, but Li Liehuo knew that from now on, the descendants of these second elders would probably never be able to raise their heads among the children of the Li family.
"Be careful!" As he approached Shaziwan, Li Liehuo suddenly shouted vigilantly to the surrounding Li family children.
Hearing Li Liehuo's words, all the children of the Li family formed a defensive formation, and at this moment, the surrounding desert surface began to squirm, dozens of figures drilled out of the surface, and golden quicksand slowly slipped from the cloaks on their bodies.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the children of the Li family are not bad, they were able to draw on the discovery of our existence, I originally wanted to catch you off guard, but now I'm afraid it will take a little more effort. A voice came from one of the figures.
