Chapter 211: The Little Knife Society
The wolves retreated, and the surviving caravan and guards all sat down on the ground as if they had been drained of strength, and even a few of the earth demon worshippers secretly breathed a sigh of relief and carefully wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"Great, we are saved, thank you Li Shaoxia for saving your life." After a moment, I don't know who took the lead, and shouted out loudly.
"Thank you Li Shaoxia for saving your life."
"Thank you Li Shaoxia for saving your life."
……
Li Mu's actions, most of the guards present could see it clearly, it can be said that this time to be able to resist the attack of the wolves, Li Mu killed the wolf king is indispensable, so when someone shouted loudly, almost everyone echoed.
Li Mu stood next to the corpse of the wolf king and gasped for a moment, and then rushed back in the direction of the caravan step by step, although he only sent out an attack just now, but the consumption of the Demon Breaking Sword for true qi was extremely high, in order to be able to kill the wolf king with one blow, Li Mu almost tried his best, and one blow drained nearly eighty percent of his true qi, so Li Mu's face did not look very good.
"Brother Li, are you okay?" Hua Qianyu stepped forward a few steps and asked with concern.
Li Mu shook his head and replied with a smile, "I'm fine, it's just that the consumption of true qi is relatively large, just rest for a while." ”
"Well, in that case, let the caravan guards take care of the rest of the matter, and let's go back to the car to rest." Hua Qianyu nodded and spoke.
"Okay." Li Mu agreed, and then turned to the caravan consul who came forward and spoke, "I need to rest, you will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, if it's okay, don't come and disturb me." ”
At this time, the consul of the caravan was absolutely convinced by Li Muna, and when he heard that he dared to have any objections, he nodded again and again, "Li Shaoxia, don't worry." I'll leave everything to me, and you can just rest. ”
At this time, several other earth demon worshippers also stepped forward, looking at Li Mu's eyes, full of awe, and one of them spoke. "Li Shaoxia is really young and promising, today is an eye-opener for me, admire! Admire! ”
"It's over, it's not worth mentioning in this little trick." Li Mu replied politely.
"If this kind of strength is not worth mentioning, then we will live half our lives in vain." Another earth-shattering worship opened.
"Okay, okay, don't disturb my Brother Li to rest, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after Brother Li recovers." Without waiting for a few earth demon worshippers to speak again, Hua Qianyu preemptively said.
"Not bad. Miss Hua is right, Li Shaoxia should go back and rest first, there shouldn't be any danger in the next journey, it's enough to have a few of our guards. ”
"Okay, I'll go first, and a few people should also pay attention to rest." Li Mu clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and returned to his carriage.
The excessive consumption of true qi made Li Mu feel a sense of prostration all over his body. As if he couldn't exert himself, this feeling made him very uncomfortable. Therefore, Li Mu also hopes to recover as soon as possible.
Meditating all the way, when Li Mu adjusted his state to the peak, the caravan had completely left the barren plain.
After this experience, Li Mu became more comfortable with his own power, and at the same time, his understanding of the Demon Breaking Sword was also more profound. has made great progress in his combat effectiveness.
After leaving the barren plain, the caravan entered a wide official road, which was more than ten meters wide and paved with gravel. Straight to the destination of Li Mu's trip - Shenwu County.
"This place is still fifty miles away from Shenwu County, everyone work hard, you should be able to reach it before dark." The consul of the caravan shouted loudly, "When we arrive in Shenwu County, I invite everyone to Yanfeng Tower for a drink." ”
"Haha, okay, it's rare for Steward Liu to be so generous, brothers can't let it go, everyone speed up, be sure to reach Shenwu County before dark." The laughter of the leader of the guards was heard, followed by the banter of many ordinary guards.
The speed of the caravan increased significantly, but fortunately, the quality of the carriage was very good, and there was no bump in the slightest when sitting in it, Li Mu was also happy to see this, sitting in the carriage, and constantly studying the mystery of the Seven Swords and Dragon Slaying Technique.
If the Demon Breaking Sword is an instant attack after compressing a large amount of true qi, then the second type of Guiyuan Sword in the Seven Swords Dragon Slaying Technique is a continuous superposition of sword qi, every time you use the Guiyuan Sword, you can make Li Mu himself increase his attack by 10% in a short period of time, this attack enhancement can be stacked, and the highest number of stacking layers can reach nine layers, doubling Li Mu's attack power.
Of course, it is extremely difficult to superimpose the ninth layer of Guiyuan, and it is possible to do it only if you fully comprehend the mystery of the Guiyuan Sword, with Li Mu's current ability, it is very good to be able to stack one or two layers.
Time passed unconsciously, and it was almost late afternoon and evening, and the caravan came to the front of Shenwu County, and just as the consul of the caravan was about to enter the city, a large number of warriors suddenly walked out of Shenwu County, and they surrounded the entire caravan.
The warrior who was the leader of them said to the caravan consul, "We are from the Little Knife Society, and if we want to enter Shenwu County, you should know the rules." ”
Seeing this, the consul of the caravan flashed with pain on his face, but he still bowed forward and replied with a smile, "I know, I know, the little one has always been a responsible person, and he has never owed anything that should be handed in." ”
After saying that, he turned to one of the men in the caravan and ordered, "Go quickly and find out the tribute I prepared earlier." ”
When the man heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, turned and ran to the largest carriage in the caravan, carefully took out one of the brocade boxes, and handed it to the consul of the caravan.
The warrior of the Little Knife Society took the brocade box, opened it and glanced at it, nodded at the caravan consul, and waved his hand to let the warrior behind him get out of the way, "Yes, it seems that you are indeed sensible." ”
After the caravan entered the city smoothly, Li Mu found the caravan consul and asked curiously, "What will happen to the knife, and how much protection money does he want you to pay?" ”
When the consul of the caravan heard this, he sighed directly and replied, "What else can it be, the knife will be the head snake here, and all caravans must pay them protection fees if they want to enter the city, and as for the amount of the cost, it is about 20% of the total value of the goods." ”
"Twenty percent." Li Mu whispered in his mouth, a caravan will draw 20%, and it will come down all year round. With this income, I am afraid that the Little Knife Society will be able to rival the country, you must know that Shenwu County is the center of hundreds of ordinary small cities in all directions, and there are countless caravans coming and going here, if the Little Knife will really be able to swallow this cake. His strength is absolutely outrageously strong.
"Then you caravans have never resisted?" Li Mu asked.
"Resist, how to resist, the Little Knife Club is one of the seven major forces in Shenwu County, there are innate masters in charge, if we obey, we still have a way to live, if it resists, there is no need for the caravan to exist." Unless......" The caravan consul shook his head with a wry smile and replied.
"Unless what?"
"Unless the other six major forces are willing to accept us, but the size of my caravan is too small, they will definitely not look down on it, these big forces, basically have their own caravans, ordinary merchants, they can't compete with them at all." The caravan consul explained.
"Oh. I see. Li Mu suddenly nodded and said.
"We, the caravans. can only be majestic in the small city below, and when he arrives in Shenwu County, which one is not a man with his tail between his legs, for fear of provoking people who should not be provoked, so Li Shaoxia. Although you and the Flower Lady are very strong, you must also keep a low profile, if you are targeted by the seven major forces, the end will definitely not be good. ”
"Haha, don't worry. We know it. ”
"Well, in that case, I won't say much." The caravan consul nodded and replied,
At this moment, the caravan passed by a hotel, Li Mu saw it, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop, our destination has arrived, Mr. Liu, we will get off here, and there will be a time later." ”
"Alright, we'll have a meeting later." The consul of the caravan clasped his fists, and then took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Li Mudao, "This is a little meaning, thank you brothers and sisters for saving my caravan, and please don't refuse." ”
Li Mu smiled and nodded, took the cloth bag, and replied, "It just so happens that I also need money, so I won't be polite to you, thank you." ”
After Li Mu and Hua Qianyu left the caravan, they walked straight into the hotel next to them, Li Mu found the innkeeper and said, "Boss, open two upper rooms for me, they must be adjacent, and then prepare a wine and food for us, and send them directly to the room." ”
"Okay, this young man, please come with me." The boss was very enthusiastic and asked the guy to take Li Mu to the residential area at the back of the hotel.
Li Mu and Hua Qianyu also didn't doubt it, they had just arrived in Shenwu County, and they didn't have any enemies, so they naturally didn't have to worry about someone harming them.
Everything was ready, Hua Qianyu came to Li Mu's room and said, "Brother Li, what should we do next?" ”
Li Mu thought for a moment and replied, "There are still a few days before the Secret Realm Conference, let's first understand the entire Shenwu County, and it is best to figure out the general distribution of forces here, so that we will not run into a wall indiscriminately in the future." ”
Hua Qianyu nodded and agreed, "What you said makes sense, although I have also read books about Shenwu County before, but many things on it are not clear, just like the Little Knife Club I met today, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I thought it was just a second-rate force, who knew that it was actually one of the seven major forces with innate masters." ”
"I can't say for sure, that is, what has happened in recent years, after all, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, if you are not careful, the innate master is also in danger of falling, and the rise of the knife club may not be on the basis of the destruction of other forces."
"Brother Li, do you feel that we seem to be being targeted, since I entered this hotel, I have been restless, as if something big is about to happen." Suddenly, Hua Qianyu approached Li Mu and used the sound transmission technique to speak.
When Li Mu heard this, his face changed, his perception was higher than Hua Qianyu, and he had already discovered this abnormal situation, but he had always thought it was his hallucination, but he didn't expect Hua Qianyu to have the same feeling, so this thing was really very strange.
"Don't make a noise yet, let's be careful and see who dares to attack our idea." Li Mu also replied with the technique of sound transmission.
At this moment, there was a knock on Li Mu's door, and Li Mu felt nervous for no reason, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" ”
"It's me, shopkeeper, the banquet you ordered has been delivered." An unfamiliar voice rang out.
"Oh, then you can come in by yourself." When Li Mu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and opened his mouth to let the shopkeeper come in.
Soon, the shopkeeper walked into the room with a few waiters, put the wine and food on the table, bowed down and smiled, "If you have any other orders, just call them." ”
"Okay, no problem, you can get out." Li Mu waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper and the others to go out.
After the shopkeeper left, Hua Qianyu whispered, "Brother Li, don't eat these things yet, the shopkeeper's eyes dodged just now, and his heartbeat increased significantly, obviously he was weak-hearted, maybe there was a problem with these drinks and dishes, we better be careful." ”
Li Mu listened, smiled, and replied, "Hehe, Qianyu, it seems that you have observed very carefully, and you have made progress, what you said is right, there is definitely a problem with this shopkeeper, but you don't need to worry about the wine and food, have you forgotten that when you were seriously injured, I once took the jasper lotus seed for you, and that thing is invulnerable to poison after eating." ”
Hua Qianyu listened and nodded suddenly, "I almost forgot, but when we go out, it's better for us to be careful." ”
"Well, then I'll give them a try and see what these people have in mind." After Li Mu finished speaking, he picked up chopsticks, picked up one of the pieces of beef and put it in his mouth.
"Ah, Brother Li, ...... you" Hua Qianyu exclaimed, but before she could finish speaking, Li Mu suddenly smiled slightly, and with force in his mouth, he accurately spit out the piece of beef he had eaten earlier in a corner of the room.
Li Mu hurriedly made a booing gesture, pointed to the partition wall of the room, and finally pretended to raise the wine glass and poured all the water and wine in the cup into the vegetable soup.
Seeing Li Mu's movements, Hua Qianyu immediately understood the current situation, the powerful perception that belonged to the Earth Demon Master emanated, and she soon found that in the next room, there were several sneaky figures peeking at the two of them at this time.
At that moment, Hua Qianyu also calculated it, and boldly ate a few mouthfuls of food, looking defenseless, and after a while, Li Mu suddenly shook his head a few times, and said intermittently, "Strange, today...... What's going on? How...... I only drank two glasses...... I was dizzy. After speaking, the whole person suddenly fell on the table, unconscious.
"Brother Li, ...... you" It was not the first time Hua Qianyu had done this kind of thing, she reacted quickly, and then she also lay on the table, motionless.
After a while, a slight knock on the door sounded, and then, the voice of the shopkeeper came, "Two guest officers, are you there?" ”
The shopkeeper knocked on the door several times in a row, but there was no reaction inside, so he boldly pushed open the door and walked in. (To be continued......)
