Chapter 12: Peril
The caravan of eight people finally arrived at the border guard checkpoint of the Yellow Emperor Continent for more than 20 days. Liang Bo showed the customs clearance document to show his identity and handed over a filial piety, and the guards were very happy and not embarrassed, and after a cursory inspection of the goods, they were all released.
Coming to the continent of Athena is like entering a new world. The snow is gone, and the green of spring comes into view.
Mulberry silkworm leaves all over the mountains stand on both sides of the road, and white sheep stroll and graze on the green grassland, like white clouds drifting away.
After two days and two nights, the road passed through a primeval forest, and the towering trees shaded the sun's rays, and the hunter's whistle sounded very pleasantly in the distance from time to time, and probably hunted some good prey, and was glad to have picked up a good fur.
This scene has never been seen before, it is very novel, and it feels very mysterious. He turned his head and asked Zhao Jia: "Life in the Athena Continent is really beautiful. The red hair is as gorgeous as flames, the blonde hair is as gorgeous as the gold dust, and the blue eyes shine like sapphires. Even the silkworm raising girl is particularly temperamental. It's truly a paradise and a breathtakingly beautiful. Zhao Jia said: "Stinky boy, you know to look at beautiful women, look at your fussy appearance, you haven't seen Duke Kamiao, the lord of Athena, known as the most beautiful man in the world." With silver hair spilling down his waist, even men are thrilled when they see it, let alone women, and they are simply defenseless. It is said that every time he travels, the men of the land he passes through must plug their ears, otherwise the screams of the women will deafen their ears. But think about it, it's really more popular than people, the father of the three daughters, but he looks like a young man in his twenties, and there is no reason. The shovel interjected unremittingly: "What's so good-looking, I still think the black hair and black eyes are the best." However, there is also a reason why most of the creators of the Athena Continent are young and handsome, and their recovery and blessing abilities are unique among the Seven Continents, so there is no fuss about the completion of the rejuvenation technique. It's just that their attack power is generally low and not as strong as other continents, so the Athena continent is neutral all year round and does not fight with other continents. Other continents will not embarrass them, who hasn't had a headache and brain fever, and the relationship is stiff and there is no place to see a doctor. And their armor, it's a life-saving artifact... ”
"Hey, old man, which of Hades' weapons is more powerful if it touches Athena's shield?" Zhao Jia became interested again and found the topic of argument with the shovel.
"Needless to say, I want to think back then... Yixuan was not interested in listening to them, his mind stayed on the briefcase, he thought to himself, how could such a peaceful and kind continent with such an indisputable family participate in the assassination of his father, could he be wrong?
He opened his shirt again and found that the red dot mark had disappeared, and sighed, but he escaped from Uncle Li's control, and there was a life talisman on his chest, which was really uncomfortable.
The convoy traveled for more than a month, resting at Helen Castle and Marseille Castle on the Athena continent, and Liang Bo sent some goods to continue to the main castle of Athena.
This evening, the convoy had a routine rest, and it was the escort Rose of the head car on duty tonight, Yixuan had already been familiar with this superhuman enhancement attribute man, sent him some dry food, and slept alone.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Yixuan faintly heard some noises, thinking that someone might have gotten up to relieve him and didn't care about turning over and continuing to fall asleep.
When I woke up the next day, I heard the noisy shouting of people outside. Yixuan hurriedly got up and got dressed, and went out of the tent to take a look, but the scene outside shocked him speechless.
I saw that everyone was working together to lower Rose's body from a large tree that was waist-thick. Yixuan hurriedly stepped forward to help, and asked loudly: "What's going on?" Rose was fine yesterday, why did he die today?" Liang Bo snorted, with tears in his eyes, and said angrily: "You ask me, who will I ask?" When I got up in the morning, I saw him hanging from this tree. The shovel hurriedly pulled Yixuan aside and whispered, "Don't sprinkle salt on the wound." The one who does the caravan is to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers. Any danger can be encountered when you go out. It's just that his death is indeed a bit strange, and there is not even a trace of a fight. And the goods are all there, it's incredible. After that, the shovel glanced at the tree again, and saw that Zhao Jia was also looking for traces in front of the tree, but he didn't find any clues, and shook his head in disappointment.
So everyone buried Rose's body on the spot, no longer stayed, packed their luggage and continued to hurry out of the place of right and wrong.
The convoy traveled for another three days, and it was time to rest and adjust. Everyone came to a high ground, parked their cars side by side, lit a campfire in the middle of the tent, and tried to keep a distance that could take care of each other at any time.
Because of Rose's bizarre death, everyone has become extra cautious, and the atmosphere is a little dull and depressing. Tonight it was Wang Zekai's turn to keep vigil, and he was always vigilant with a machine gun in his hand.
The shovel took a bite of dry food and said, "Wang Zekai should be born as a mercenary, with the temperament of a soldier. Do you see that gun?" Yixuan looked at the shovel's eyes, and saw Wang Zekai's machine gun faintly glowing with silver.
"That's a Hades weapon, it's obvious that Zhang Zekai is the creator of the enhanced weapon attributes. It shouldn't be a big problem tonight, and if someone attacks at the worst, he will also warn him in advance. Having said that, Yixuan still felt uneasy.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, a rapid gunfire pierced the night sky, and everyone was awakened by the gunshots, and they got up and went out to meet the enemy.
Yixuan had already appeared outside the tent in the fastest flash. Strangely, however, the gunfire stopped for only a few seconds, and nature fell silent again.
Yixuan looked around for Wang Zekai's figure, and shouted in his mouth: "Wang Zekai, where are you? Who is the sneak attack? Come out to fight!" No one answered, let alone Wang Zekai.
At this time, everyone also rushed out of the tent, and saw Yixuan asking what was going on? Yixuan was also confused and didn't know anything.
At this moment, Zhao Jia squatted on the ground and said heavily: "Wang Zekai is dead." He gestured to the ground in front of him.
Everyone followed his fingertips, and there was a pool of black ash piled up on the ground, which was blown by the wind and scattered one after another.
The crowd had lost their sleep, and sat silently in front of the campfire. He Er, who seemed to be honest, finally broke out, he grabbed a stone and threw it into the sky, only to see that the stone exploded like fireworks in the sky.
He Er, the creator of the explosion department, shouted loudly: "Who did it? What kind of hero is sneaking, a despicable villain, there is a kind of coming out to fight!" Zhao Jia sighed helplessly and said: "He Er and Wang Zekai are both veterans, and the bloody wind and rain have come over, who would have thought that they would fold here." At this time, Liang Bo stood up and said to He Er: "Calm down He Er, we should think long-term." With that, he sat down.
Another guard, Mark, said, "Now let's figure out who is messing with us, just one person or a group of people. What is the purpose motive. I've been a businessman for so many years, and I've never seen a robber who only kills people and doesn't steal goods. Then there are only three possibilities: first, there is only one person on the other side who wants to break them one by one and swallow the goods alone. Second, vendetta, we have someone here who offended which enemy is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. Thirdly, this man is a pervert who takes pleasure in killing. Zhao Jia also agreed: "I agree with the second statement, the possibility of vendetta is greater." We have walked this road a lot, and we have never encountered this situation until this time, when there are more of these two people. After that, he looked at the shovel and Yixuan with unkind eyes.
The shovel suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhao Jia's nose and scolded: "What do you mean, stinky boy, if we have an enemy to chase and kill us, we don't have to go to the Athena Continent, and we will have to wait until now to do it in the Yellow Emperor Continent." Besides, there is a debtor and a debtor, and that person is so powerful, if he wants to kill us at any time, why bother to find your people to solve them one by one? I think your people have done something wrong, and the evil ghosts have come to collect debts!"
"Don't argue, the murderer hasn't been found yet, and our own people are fighting among themselves. Liang Bo stepped forward at this time to stop the quarrel between the two sides and said: "In my opinion, it must be a gang, they are very familiar with our path, and they are tracking us along the way. They don't attack when they drive, and wait for the camping time at night, because they probably don't know the details of us either, and they are afraid that a large-scale conflict will break the net. After all, we also have six creators, and they can't eat and walk around when they really fight, so they are so cunning and break them one by one. ”
"The boss has a point. Mark chimed in
"But what are we going to do next? ”
"Look at this distance, we are not far from Fort William, and since they will not make a move on our road, let's hurry up and make our way to the castle. Everyone agreed, and at this moment, Yixuan suddenly said: "I also thought of a possibility!" Everyone focused their eyes on Yixuan's body, and Liang Bo also came back to his senses and said, "What is the high opinion of the little brother?" Yixuan said righteously: "I guess that this person must be a second-order judge with great strength. So... ”
"you!" Before Yixuan could finish speaking, Zhao Jia directly interrupted him, and left to pack his luggage, and everyone dispersed, saying as he walked I thought there was something high, wasting time.
Yixuan glanced at the shovel in confusion, and the shovel covered his mouth and laughed: "Do you think the inquisitors are all over the street? This is not the Yellow Emperor Continent, and you are no longer Guo Yixuan, the son of the guardian of the Northern Mirror, you are just an unknown little person, and no one will care about you. So, go and pack your bags. This sentence sounded reassuring, but when it came to Yixuan's ears, it was like a knife.
