Chapter 49: Night Attack
On the Shengyuan Continent, the Seven Kings are vying for hegemony, the war is everywhere, bandits are rampant, and caravans are walking between the cities, all of which need strong escorts, otherwise they will not be able to pass at all.
In addition to the bandits, there are also terrible demon beasts, although the Seven Kings' sphere of influence has been suppressed and killed, there are no more powerful demon beasts, but the low-level demon beasts are still countless, and they are also a big disaster for the caravan.
After moving away from Hewei City, the guards of the royal caravan gradually became cautious.
After camping at night, untying and feeding the cart-pulling monsters, forming a circle around the wagon, and hastily eating the dry food they carried around the fire, some of the guards were already drowsy.
"Groups of four, each group of one hour. Wei Lin gathered the guards and began to keep vigil at night in a row, "Wang Haochen, you and Zhou Buyi and the three of them belong to the third group. ”
Wang Haochen did not refute or reply, which made Wei Lin snort angrily in his heart.
Wang Haochen's mind was not in the caravan at all, and it had been falling on the old man and the young man who were not far behind them.
Since the two men appeared, they had been following them not far away, and they were camping, and the two men also stopped, less than two hundred meters behind them, eating dry food, and resting quietly.
"Commander Wei, there seems to be something wrong with those two guys in the back. After Wei Lin finished arranging, Zhou Buyi came to his side and said in a low voice.
In fact, many people in the caravan had already seen that something was wrong with the two of them, but Wei Lin had always turned a blind eye, and no one mentioned it, and Zhou Buyi took the lead in saying it in order to show his goodness.
"This road is the only way to Panfeng City, there are many people walking, if there is anything wrong, don't babble!" Wei Lin glanced at the two people behind him, and then scolded lightly.
Zhou Buyi touched his nose, sat down stupidly, and fell asleep.
Wang Haochen was covered with a blanket, leaning on the truck, his eyes were slightly closed, and when he heard Wei Lin next to him, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of coldness.
Now he had basically guessed the arrangement of the eldest lady, but he didn't have much fear in his heart, and for him, it might be an opportunity.
"Random task, kill the Yinshan bandits, and reward 30 points of martial arts!"
Wang Haochen's mind sank into the Heavenly Punishment System, and looking at the tasks displayed in the system, his mind had already begun to turn.
In the Qingzhi Palace, the strengthening of the physical body consumed all the more than 8,000 martial cultivation values on his body, and his cultivation had almost stopped in the past few days, Wang Haochen was secretly anxious in his heart, and he didn't expect that there would be martial cultivation values sent to him now.
"Wait, until late at night. Leaning on the truck and closing his eyes to recuperate, Wang Haochen said secretly in his heart.
The caravan departed in the afternoon, the truck could not go fast, it was extremely rare to travel two hundred miles in half a day, those guards were exhausted, after Wei Lin finished arranging, those guards who did not need to keep vigil for the time being, stretched their waists one by one, each found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.
The night is as cool as water, and the breeze is gusting.
It didn't take long for the caravan to be snoring one after another.
Time passed little by little, and Wang Haochen recovered his strength while calculating the time.
"Get up, get up, change the guard!" Two hours passed quickly, and the first group of guards couldn't wait to wake up the second group.
After a commotion, silence soon fell again, and it wasn't long before the snoring resumed.
Soon another hour passed, and next to the truck, Wang Haochen's eyes suddenly opened, the essence in his eyes flashed, and there was no trace of distress at all.
Lifting the blanket from his body, he turned his head to look at the side, and the night watchman not far away, standing in front of a boulder, leaning his back against the boulder, his eyes closed, his snort was heavy, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
Wang Haochen stood up slightly, silently, bypassed the truck in the center, and looked at the other three sides, the other three night vigil guards were not much different, although they all stayed at the post of night vigil, but they all had heavy eyelids and drowsy consciousness.
With a slight footstep, Wang Haochen's figure flew away in an instant, without any sound, and in the blink of an eye, he was far away from the caravan and disappeared into the darkness.
In the darkness behind the caravan, a fire glowed dimly.
Wang Haochen's figure had just disappeared, and a figure that was lying not far from him also moved slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and sat up silently, by the light of the fire, he could clearly identify his appearance, it was Han Liu, who had been silently following the caravan.
After moving away from the caravan, Wang Haochen's figure was slightly shaped, and after going around in a circle, he gradually forced towards the two people who had been following behind him.
The two men, one old and one young, dressed in leather armor and carrying a bow and a sword, the young man sat quietly by the fire, looking at the royal caravan from time to time, and the other old man was lying by the fire, as if he had also fallen asleep.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, in the darkness behind the two of them, there was a soft sound, which was extremely clear in the silent night.
The young man's expression suddenly tightened, and he grabbed the big knife beside him casually and stood up.
"Smack!"
The young man looked at the old man lying by the fire, and was hesitating, and in the darkness, there was another sound.
"Who?" said the young man in a low voice with a slight tightening of the steel knife in his hand.
The silence in the darkness was like a huge mouth that engulfed everything, and it was chilling.
The young man glanced in the direction of the Wang family's caravan, frowned slightly, and then slowly forced towards the darkness, with a hint of ruthlessness on his face.
The boy gradually moved away from the fire, and his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
There was silence in the darkness, and the silence was terrible.
"Bang!"
After a full few breaths, there was an imperceptible muffled sound in the darkness.
It didn't take long for a figure to slowly come out of the darkness, also a young man, and gradually walked to the fire, and stood beside the sleeping old man.
"Huh?" The old man's body trembled slightly, as if he was shocked that something was wrong, and sat up abruptly.
"You ......" An unfamiliar face met the old man's eyes, causing him to change color instantly, and in just an instant, it flashed away, and then a fierce aura rolled out of his body, and his five fingers suddenly bent, like steel hooks, and grabbed the throat of the young man in front of him.
The young man kicked and flicked his claws away, and then his arm slammed into his heart, nailing the old man to the ground.
A foot on the old man's mouth stopped the sound of the old man's dying struggle, and the old man twitched at his feet, and after only a few breaths, he collapsed.
Leaning over the old man and groping for a while, he turned out a lot of things, swept his palm, and put all of them into the storage space, and then slowly walked towards the Wang family caravan.
"The harvest is good!" Wang Haochen circled a little, returned to the Wang family's caravan, covered with a blanket, and leaned with his eyes closed.
After killing two bandits, plus the task reward, they got a total of more than fifty points of martial arts cultivation value, and two people, as bandits, if they don't have sin points on their bodies, then they are very sorry for their identity, and the heavenly punishment value has also gained a lot, nearly thirty points.
With the martial arts cultivation value, and Wang Haochen didn't have any trust in the guards of the caravan, he had no intention of sleeping at all, so he immediately ran the Dark Xuanjin Technique and began to cultivate.
After refining less than ten o'clock, he heard the second group of guards start shouting, and it was Wang Haochen's turn to keep vigil with the third group.
Wang Haochen was a little puzzled, when those guards were keeping vigil, they all fell asleep, how could they wake up one by one when it was time to change the guard, I have to say, this is also a kind of ability.
Since he got up to keep vigil, Wang Haochen didn't hide it, sat in front of the truck, and cultivated with all his might.
He is getting farther and farther away from Hewei City, the eldest lady and they may make a move against him at any time, time is pressing, and he can't waste any opportunity to improve his cultivation.
The night seemed to pass uneventfully, the sky gradually brightened, Wang Haochen woke up with most people, and Wang Haochen slowly opened his eyes.
The fifty-odd points of martial cultivation value that he had just received had all been refined, and it had become more than five hundred points of yuan power, and now the yuan power in his body had reached more than four thousand five hundred, and he was about to approach the five thousand mark.
According to the law of Heavenly Punishment system-level improvement and cultivation, once the Yuan Force is increased to five thousand points, he can break through to the Acquired Triple Level.
"I hope there will be more!" Wang Haochen glanced at the extinguished fire at the back of the caravan.
Put the monster in the wagon, tidy up a little, and after breakfast, the caravan is on the road again.
"What's the matter with those two guys, they're turning the wilderness into an inn, and they haven't gotten up yet. In the midst of the caravan, one of the guards glanced towards the fire in the rear, and said with some surprise.
"Who knows, such people won't live long outside, leave them alone, let's hurry as soon as possible. ”
"You're not annoyed by being followed all the time, it's better to be without them. ”
The caravan guards talked a lot, drove the wagons in a mess, and slowly set off on the road.
"Commander Wei, do the two people in the back have anything to do with you, I see that you seem to be very worried, do you want me to show you?" Wang Haochen sat on top of the gray wolf, slowly walked in front of Wei Lin, and saw that Wei Lin was still standing in place, frequently looking at the small camp behind him, with a worried look in his eyes, he couldn't help but speak.
"Young Master Chen laughed, how could those two have anything to do with me. Wei Lin pulled a reluctant smile on his face, but he couldn't help but glance over there, followed the caravan, and walked forward.
Wang Haochen walked in the middle of the team, felt that his eyes fell on him, turned his head suddenly, and suddenly met a pair of cold eyes.
"Han Liu?" Wang Haochen frowned slightly.
How could it be him, did he find something?
Wang Haochen's heart moved slightly, but he was not afraid, even if the entire caravan knew about what happened last night, it was no big deal, he just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
