Chapter 10: Adventures in the Woods
In the darkness of the night, piles of bonfires crackled and burned.
An Jiazhi, Wan Mingjie, and the two evolutionaries of the caravan accompanied Chi Hua and Li Xiaofei to sit around a bonfire and drink.
The liquor brewed by Shun'an Commercial Bank is spicy and strong, and the animal meat on the bonfire is full of fragrance.
Chi Hua touched the wine bottle in his hand with Wan Mingjie, took a big sip, and then squinted slightly and looked at the firelight in a daze.
Chi Hua has been accompanying the convoy for a week, and has gradually become familiar with An Jiazhi, Wan Mingjie and the escorts of the convoy. The strong can win enough respect wherever they go, and the strength of Chi Hua's slaughter of robbers that day is deeply engraved in the minds of every guard, and everyone in the convoy from top to bottom has great respect for Chi Hua.
An Jiazhi even vacated a truck specifically for Chi Hua and Li Xiaofei. The speed of the black horse is far above the truck, and the black horse has not stepped into the carriage from beginning to end, until Xiong Er, who is not good at long-distance running, and Li Xiaofei, who is lazy, climb into the carriage to sleep from time to time.
The convoy did not encounter any new attacks along the way, after all, it was not possible for ordinary robbers to have the ability and courage to attack a convoy of this size.
The evolutionary that Li Xiaofei caught that day didn't take out much useful information from his mouth, the only thing he knew was that the other party's attack on the Shun'an convoy was premeditated, and someone provided this force with information on the convoy's itinerary, but the person who provided the information was only known to the leader of the force, and the leader happened to be one of the several evolutionaries killed by Chi Hua, so the clue was broken.
"Brother Yi, you two brothers have all the ability, haven't you thought about finding a bigger force to stabilize?" An Jiazhi gave Chi Hua a glass of wine and asked casually, after drinking the wine, An Jiazhi's nose turned even redder.
Chi Hua didn't intend to reveal his identity, so he shamelessly borrowed part of Yi Fengleng's name and lied that his name was Yi Leng.
Chi Hua took another sip of wine and said casually: "We are used to being casual, and we can't stand the constraints of various rules, so we can enjoy running around like this." In addition, we have not encountered forces that convince us and are worth taking refuge into. ”
"How about our Shun'an Firm? The guards of our firm are well treated, there are not so many rules and regulations, and they can go to various places, and my cousin's character and bearing are not to be said. ”
This An Jiazhi is An Jiacheng's cousin, and he always wants to recruit Chi Hua and Li Xiaofei for Shun'an Commercial Bank along the way.
Chi Hua drank a little too much, and a bottle of liquor had already gone down for more than half of it, so he hooked his hand to signal him to come closer, put his arms around his neck, and said drunkly: "If your cousin is willing to marry her daughter to me, I will immediately agree to join your Shun'an Commercial Bank." ”
Before An Jiazhi could speak, Wan Mingjie on the side laughed, "Have you also heard of our Miss An An?" Miss An An is a famous beauty! ”
Chi Hua also smiled and said: "Of course I know, I'm not someone who hasn't been in contact with your Shun'an firm before, but I don't know if An An is really as beautiful as your people say?" ”
Li Xiaofei was eating barbecue on the side, while looking at Chi Hua with disdainful round eyes.
"Tell you, our Miss An An is not only beautiful, but also a powerful second-order evolutionary, although your brother is powerful, he may not be Miss An An's opponent." Wan Mingjie said with a smile.
Chi Hua laughed, "Then I want to marry your Miss An An even more, you see my black horse, a man's dream should be to ride the fiercest horse, marry the most beautiful woman, and then go to the end of the world together!" ”
"Brother, come, I respect you!" Wan Mingjie picked up the wine bottle and touched Chi Hua again, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But I advise you to die of this heart, our Miss An An has already promised someone!" ”
"Oh, who is so blessed to marry your Miss An'an?" Chi Hua asked casually.
Wan Mingjie was just about to speak, An Jiazhi suddenly coughed, "Don't say it, let's talk about it, our brothers are drinking." Wan Mingjie diverted the topic.
What was said later, Chi Hua had no impression at all, Chi Hua really drank too much that night.
......
The farther the convoy went east, the more relaxed the atmosphere in the convoy became, most of the evolutionaries who had been injured before had recovered, and more importantly, the convoy had already entered the sphere of influence of Huaxia Dragon City two days ago.
In Dragon City's sphere of influence, social order has been greatly improved, at least the blatant large-scale robbery will no longer occur, and the rest of the convoy's journey has become easier.
Just when everyone in the caravan thought that there would be no danger on the way to Dragon City, a dense beast roar suddenly sounded from the woods ahead.
The convoy immediately stopped in place, and put down a defensive position on the spot, and then Chi Hua motioned for Li Xiaofei to go forward to check the situation.
It didn't take long for Li Xiaofei to run over with an excited face, "Brother Hua, let's go and take a look, a few mutated beasts have started fighting on their own, maybe there are still cheap ones to pick up." ”
Chi Hua didn't react yet, but several evolutionaries in the team were tempted first. It is not uncommon for mutant beasts to fight each other for food, courtship, and even territory, and many times both sides will fight each other. This is also the time when the mutant beast is at its weakest, and it is also the best time for human evolutionaries to hunt for the evolutionary crystal nucleus.
Therefore, Li Xiaofei said that several evolutionaries in the team wanted to go over and get a piece of the pie.
Wan Mingjie knew what his evolutionaries were thinking, and he expected that there would be no accidents here, so he waved his hand and let the four evolutionaries under him go over to take a look. And these evolutionaries must go with Chi Hua, in order to prevent the mutated beast from going crazy or crazy, bringing Chi Hua is equivalent to bringing a talisman.
When Chi Hua and the others came to the woods, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Nine mutant beasts were biting together in the snow in the woods, and to people's surprise, the beasts that were bitten together were five steppe wolves, a black bear, a leopard, a great chimpanzee, and a budgie more than a man tall. Bears, leopards, and chimpanzees are all territorial, and these animals can never appear together, but now they are inexplicably bitten together. And it is clear that five steppe wolves are in a gang, and the other four animals are in a gang.
"What's going on? Make a movie? An evolutionary muttered incredulously.
"Brother Hua, look, there are still people over there." Li Xiaofei suddenly pointed to the other end of the woods and shouted.
The focus of their eyes was on a few mutant beasts, and they hadn't noticed that there was a group of people standing on the other side of the woods, and there were seven or eight trucks parked behind them.
"What are these people for? I'm also waiting to pick up the cheap, do you want to go back and inform Captain Wan to pull the entire convoy over. An evolutionary suggested.
Chi Hua stood still and didn't move, he suddenly thought of this possibility.
At this time, the fight in the arena changed, and a steppe wolf suddenly pounced on the chimpanzee from behind, pressed the chimpanzee to the ground, turned around and opened his mouth, and shot an ice arrow, but the target of the ice arrow was the budgie that was fighting with another wolf.
The ice arrow landed on one of the parrot's wings, and the parrot's wings stiffened and fell from the sky. The other wolf pounced and bit on the parrot's other wing. The parrot was also anxious, and its sharp beak pecked at the wolf's eyes. The wolf howled miserably, and the parrot fluttered its wings and flew into the air.
"It hurts Cuicui, Xiaoru won't fight!" The parrot turned around and flew towards the other group.
This sound shocked Chi Hua and the others, Chi Hua had seen thousands of mutant animals, but he had never met a single one that could speak.
"Brother, pinch me, am I hallucinating?" Li Xiaofei stabbed Chi Hua's arm on the side.
"Silly pillar, stop fighting, run!" The parrot, which had already flown in mid-air, turned around and shouted again.
"Brother, I'm not hallucinating, I'm meeting a ghost." Xiao Fei muttered.
The chimpanzee pounced on him and rolled over violently, crushing the steppenwolf under him, punching the wolf twice in the head before running after the parrot.
The five steppe wolves had a slight upper hand before they cooperated with each other, but now as soon as the parrot and chimpanzee ran, it immediately became a situation where the five wolves besieged the black bear and the leopard, and instantly bit the two beasts into a bloody blur.
Four people rushed out of the crowd on the opposite side and pounced towards the beast-biting battle group, and by looking at the speed, they knew that several of them were also evolutionaries.
By the time the four of them rushed over, the leopard had already been bitten to death, and three wolves from the wolf pack immediately pounced on the four.
"Brother Hua, should we go too." An evolutionary guard asked Chi Hua for instructions.
"Wait, it's a very interesting day."
As soon as a few people spoke, the few people below who were fighting with the steppe wolves had already fallen into disadvantage. Ordinary human evolutionaries and mutant beasts are not opponents at all, and the abilities of these people in front of them are even more ordinary, and two of them were bitten by wolves as soon as they fought, and they were already worried about their lives in the blink of an eye.
"Friends above, help, we will have a lot of thanks!" One of them shouted at Chi Hua and the others.
"Let's go down, it's time for us to do it."
As soon as Chi Hua's voice fell, Li Xiaofei, Xiong Er, and the four team evolutionaries rushed to be the first, and no one wanted to fall behind in the opportunity to grab the crystal nucleus.
Li Xiaofei's flying knife shook his hand and shot into the eyes of a wolf, and the blade of the knife went into the wolf's brain. With a single stab, the steppe wolf whimpered and fell to the ground. Li Xiaofei jumped forward again, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the neck of a steppe wolf that had just jumped up, and hit the ground with a heavy fist. On the other side, Xiong Er also threw a wolf to the ground, opened his mouth wide and bit the wolf's throat.
The four convoy guards were only one step later than Xiaofei and Xiong Er, and three wolves were robbed. There were only two wolves left, one of them was surrounded by the four people opposite, and the other was still biting with the black bear. Three of the guards immediately pounced on the black bear and steppe wolf biting the band, and the other guard rolled his eyes and pulled out his close-fitting dagger and pounced on the dying leopard on the ground.
"Friend, stop, the leopard is raised by us!" One of the people on the other side suddenly shouted.
The guard was stunned, and the dagger held in mid-air couldn't fall for a while.
