Chapter 70

A few days ago, Lin Xuanzhong's hair had completely turned black when he set off, and his current appearance was indeed very different from before, Lin Xuanzhong was not surprised that the other party would not believe him, but since this was the case, Lin Xuanzhong could only be embarrassed and silent.

Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong did not defend herself, the middle-aged woman did not speak again, so she continued to remove the gauze without asking more. Lin Xuanzhong lowered his head and could see that the wound had already healed, and when it was completely scarred, it was only a matter of time before the wound would heal. This time, the old injuries and new injuries combined made him rejuvenated, and Lin Xuanzhong knew that it would take a long time to recover.

It's just that they didn't know where they were going, so Lin Xuanzhong plucked up the courage and asked, "Where are we going?"

"The city that never sleeps," the middle-aged woman replied simply, and then took out some ointment to apply it to Lin Xuanzhong's wound, and then took some new gauze to bandage the wound. After doing this, the middle-aged woman asked Lin Xuanzhong to wait for a while, and she got out of the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Xuanzhong was thinking hard about the city that never sleeps. The City That Never Sleeps is the largest city in Beiling, and it has been said by Genzhong since he was a child. Of course, Lin Xuanzhong's concern now is not how the city that never sleeps, but the difference between the direction to the city that never sleeps and the direction to Wenfeng City.

Sleepless City is located in the central area of Northridge, so naturally it will not be near Wenfeng City, so the team is far away from Wenfeng City.

After confirming this, Lin Xuanzhong's original luck in the direction of the team disappeared, and the whole person became decadent.

It didn't make Lin Xuanzhong uncomfortable for long, and the middle-aged woman named Shuilian before entered the carriage again, still holding food and drinking water in her hands. "Little brother, you've been in a coma for three days, you should be hungry now, come and get something to eat. Saying that, the middle-aged woman put the food in front of her, and then with the help of the middle-aged woman, Lin Xuanzhong tried to eat some food.

Since he couldn't go to Wenfeng City alone, Lin Xuanzhong could only plan to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, and then leave the convoy and go back. After the middle-aged woman left, Lin Xuanzhong did not rush to lie down, and sat cross-legged to use his true qi to investigate the situation in his body.

It didn't take long for the light inside the carriage to be dim, and if it weren't for a little fire outside, Lin Xuanzhong wouldn't have seen anything, but he didn't need to see it.

The people outside were still eating, and Lin Xuanzhong could smell the aroma of the food, and according to the voice, there should be dozens of people, so as the middle-aged woman said before, he was rescued by a mercenary team. Although he didn't know the specific situation, it didn't affect Lin Xuanzhong's gratitude to them.

Now people outside get together, eat and drink enough and are not in a hurry to rest, so they naturally chatte and talk about many things.

It didn't take long for Lin Xuanzhong to hear some information about the ghost city, but those people didn't speak loudly, sometimes Lin Xuanzhong couldn't hear clearly, and the news he heard had nothing to do with what Lin Xuanzhong wanted to know.

Since he couldn't hear the information he wanted to know, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't wait to get out of the car directly to ask some of them, but his physical condition did not allow it, so Lin Xuanzhong could only sit in the car and be anxious. In addition, because he was extremely concerned about the content of those people's conversations, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't use his true qi to heal his injuries with peace of mind.

When checking the injuries just now, Lin Xuanzhong had already found that the external injuries on his body were more serious, and the internal injuries were still the reason for the deterioration of the previous injuries, but it didn't matter anymore, as long as he didn't force his actions for a period of time in the next period of time, the injuries would heal sooner or later.

It's just that outsiders need to apply medicine and bandage themselves every day, and Lin Xuanzhong is a little reluctant. Now that he is penniless, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't know how to repay them.

Little by little, the sound of conversation outside became less and less, and apparently some people had rested. But before long, the sounds of all kinds of beasts sounded around them, from far and near, undulating, some of them very strange, both sharp and strange, and they made the night frightening for no reason. Sitting in the car, affected by the external environment, Lin Xuanzhong always had an inexplicable restless mood and couldn't really calm down.

Before, he didn't feel anything when he spent the night in the forest, but now sitting in the middle of everyone, Lin Xuanzhong was a little frightened. As the number of strange sounds became more and more frequent, Lin Xuanzhong's heart became more and more uneasy, but sitting alone in the carriage, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't do anything.

It wasn't long before there was no one talking around the carriage, only the crackling of firewood burning in the fire, and the heavy breathing of the mammoth from time to time. Maybe it was because he had been in a coma for too long before, but now it was almost midnight, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't feel sleepy at all.

Thinking that everyone outside should be resting, Lin Xuanzhong slowly lay down and tried to make himself fall asleep quickly.

In fact, when Lin Xuanzhong was about to rest, there were still a few people outside who were not resting, and a mercenary team like them who were on a mission outside could not relax their vigilance at any time, so naturally someone had to keep vigil. Because the night is different from the daytime, there is no need for people to explore the way ahead, so the night watchman is only near the convoy, a total of five people are stationed at several positions 200 meters away from the convoy, observing the surrounding movements at any time.

According to the middle-aged man's arrangement, they only keep watch in the first half of the night, and naturally there are well-rested people who will change shifts with them in the second half of the night, so that they can also rest.

There is a fire in the place where the five people are, which is used to frighten some fierce beasts that are afraid of fire. From a distance, the five could be seen adding firewood to the fire from time to time, while looking around vigilantly, and no disturbance could escape their eyes.

Time passed slowly, and it was late at night, and the night wind was stronger, and the flames were blowing.

The air was no longer as hot as before, and it gradually became cooler, but Lin Xuanzhong was still unable to sleep while lying in the carriage. The sound of birds and beasts outside became less and less, but Lin Xuanzhong became more and more irritable in his heart, and couldn't help but think about something.

More than a month has passed since the battle in the ghost city, and Lin Xuanzhong has experienced too many things alone in more than a month, and now everything is tangled together, Lin Xuanzhong's emotions are also surprisingly complicated. Sometimes it is difficult to calm down, but soon it will become anxious again, even if he is lying with his eyes closed, Lin Xuanzhong's heart is not calm at all.

"Wake up, everyone, a fierce beast is coming. There was a sudden shout from the east, which startled Lin Xuanzhong to immediately open his eyes and concentrate on the situation outside.

At the same time, all the people who were resting around woke up. Some people lit torches and stuck them on the carriage, and the surroundings suddenly became brighter, and even the carriage became much brighter.

Immediately after that, the sound of pulling out weapons sounded, and Lin Xuanzhong heard a man's voice, "Everyone is divided into two teams to protect the safety of the vehicle." It was the middle-aged leader who spoke.

"Yes," the people around answered, and quickly stood in two rows on the east side of the convoy. Soon, the people who had been keeping watch in the night came back with weapons to join the team.

Listening to the movement outside, Lin Xuanzhong knew that something was happening, so he wanted to know the situation outside. Looking around in the carriage, the windows on both sides appeared in Lin Xuanzhong's line of sight one after another. Trying to move his body closer to a window, Lin Xuanzhong lifted the curtain and looked outside.

The people outside were all holding weapons and waiting, Lin Xuanzhong naturally looked in front of them, a pair of eyes shining green appeared in sight, and he was approaching the convoy a hundred meters away, roughly estimating the number of at least dozens, I don't know if there are no in the rear, Lin Xuanzhong turned around and looked out of another window, fortunately, there was no on the other side, so there were only dozens of fierce beasts.

It didn't take long for those fierce beasts to get closer and closer, and in the moonlight, Lin Xuanzhong could vaguely see the huge appearance of those fierce beasts. It was the giant wolf described in the book, and its size was not inferior to the tiger lion he had encountered before, and it seemed that he had the strength equivalent to a fourth-order martial cultivator, a total of thirty-three.

Giant wolves are social animals, and they generally hunt in groups, and because they are fierce beasts, they don't need to sneak close to their prey at all, they will approach their prey openly. Because after they find their prey, in many cases, the prey is already surrounded by them. However, now the giant wolves do not adopt the usual hunting method, because their prey is martial cultivation.

In the face of more than 30 giant wolves, although in the night, more than 50 mercenaries all looked solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy.

When the giant wolves were about to approach, as if they had received an order, dozens of wolves quickly separated and surrounded the entire convoy in a blink of an eye, and then instead of moving slowly as before, they all ran up, making a strange wolf howl and approaching the whole team.

Originally, the middle-aged team leader wanted to try his best to protect the safety of the convoy, but after clarifying the number of wolves, the middle-aged man had to change his previous strategy. "Everyone should be safe and secure. ”

Now more than thirty fierce beasts are not a small number, and the middle-aged team leader knows that what they encountered is a medium-sized wolf pack, which is not so easy to deal with. After a simple order from the middle-aged man, the team scattered around the convoy according to the original formation, and then several of the archers had already loaded their arrows, and when the giant wolf was less than fifty meters away from the convoy, they shot arrows at the giant wolf that was rushing fiercely.

Like the man in Tsing Yi, the archers in the entire team were all third-order martial cultivators at the lowest level, and the bows and arrows they shot were extremely powerful. However, fierce beasts are naturally extremely defensive, and as long as the arrow feathers are not shot at key positions, then a little injury will only stimulate their ferocity even more. And now the line of sight is not good, and it is not easy for everyone to shoot to the vital position of the giant wave.

......In order to ensure the accuracy of the arrow feathers, until the giant wolf approached everyone less than thirty meters away, the man in Tsing Yi and the other companions aimed accurately.

This close distance is enough to ignore the speed of the giant wolf affecting their aiming, and if they shoot, the giant wolf will be more seriously damaged due to their speed.

With a few whimpering, you can see several giant wolves being hit by arrows, but none of them are in key positions. Until the giant wolf was nearly twenty meters away from the convoy, the man in Tsing Yi shot three arrows in a row, pointing directly at the heads of the three giant wolves.
