Chapter 79
Lin Xuanzhong and Ye Yun naturally stayed in the convoy because of their injuries and cultivation, and marched with the convoy.
Walking beside the mammoth, no one spoke, and everyone had a solemn expression, because everyone knew that it was not easy to lure the beast away. Even though there were eleven of them, and they were personally led by a middle-aged man, the thought of the power of the high-level beasts made them worry about their companions.
In the eyes of many, if the beast is nimble, those responsible for luring it away are likely to be in danger. Of course, no matter what, Lin Xuanzhong, who left with the convoy, will not know the specific situation over there for the time being. The sky grew darker and darker, and while everyone's thoughts were sad, a little drizzle fell.
The change in weather confirmed Zhang Qi's guess yesterday, but fortunately, the rain was not heavy and did not affect the progress of the convoy. I don't know what the situation is over there, but now the few mammoths here have quieted down under the comfort of some people. Led by the second leader of the mercenary team, the convoy moved forward even faster.
While the rain is light and does not affect the road conditions, the convoy must move at full speed. Once the rain is heavier, too much mud on the road may drag the whole car forward.
"There are so many troubles," Ye Yun raised his head and complained to the sky.
"It's only forty miles from the station, and if the convoy is a little faster, we still have a good chance of getting to the station before the weather gets worse. It is a very optimistic statement, but Lao Zhang's face was not relaxed when he spoke, of course, it was still much better than Ye Yun.
"I wonder what the situation is on their side, boss?"
"There shouldn't be a problem, the boss has carried out such a number of missions, and he will definitely not take a fierce beast. ”
"That being said, I always had a bad feeling about this mission. And these places are getting more and more chaotic lately, so we need to be careful. After Ye Yun and Zhang Qi said a word, the middle-aged woman Shui Lian, who was walking next to her, couldn't help but follow.
"Qingfeng, have you traveled with others before?" seemed to feel that the topic just now was too heavy, Ye Yun didn't answer the woman's words, but instead asked about Lin Xuanzhong.
In the past few days, Lin Xuanzhong had spoken with them many times, and he already knew a lot about the mercenary team. Most of the people in the entire team are residents of Wenfeng City, and the others have joined the mercenary team halfway.
In a chaotic place like Northridge, many regular mercenaries will unexpectedly lose their organization, and then they will either join the new mercenary team, or they will simply fall into the grass, and of course, some will choose to wander around. In short, once they lose their original organization, they must make the corresponding choices in order to survive.
"No," Lin Xuanzhong replied very matter-of-factly. In the past, although the Lin family's caravans often traveled to and from the surrounding cities, Lin Xuanzhong was not qualified to join the caravan, so he could only stay in the hidden city honestly.
In the past twenty years, the farthest Lin Xuanzhong has been is the place where he and Lin Wuwu met in the first place. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xuanzhong had heard other people talk about things outside the city in gambling houses and taverns before, as well as what Lin Xuanzhong himself had read from books, Lin Xuanzhong would have known nothing about the outside world.
It was only now that after communicating with Ye Yun and them many times, Lin Xuanzhong's knowledge had increased a lot. But there are still many things that I have heard of, and without actual experience, Lin Xuanzhong can't remember those contents too well or too clearly.
"Then where have you been farthest?" Ye Yun seemed to want to get to the bottom of it, and asked without giving up.
"Outside the ghost city," Lin Xuanzhong's answer was still very realistic.
"Brother Qingfeng, haven't you been to other cities since you were a child?" Seeing Lin Xuanzhong answer like this, even Zhang Qi was a little surprised.
In Zhang Qi's opinion, no matter what a person's specific identity is, in a chaotic place like Beiling, as long as there is a martial cultivator, he should have been to many places, Lin Xuanzhong is a third-order martial cultivator but has never been out of the city, Zhang Qi really can't believe it. After Zhang Qi asked such a question, the others also looked at Lin Xuanzhong with puzzled faces,
In fact, if Qing Feng had already told Lin Xuanzhong that he had a third-order cultivation, maybe the two of them could go to a far away place outside the ghost city to have a look. However, where can Lin Xuanzhong, a first-order martial cultivator, go out of the city and relieve those refugees under the pressure of Wu Yu, it is already the maximum that Lin Xuanzhong can do. In short, Lin Xuanzhong didn't blame himself for not being able to get out of the city.
Nodding at Lao Zhang was a tacit acquiescence, and Lin Xuanzhong was a little helpless to think that he really didn't know anything about the outside world.
"I see that Brother Qingfeng might as well join our mercenary team, and when we deliver the goods to the city that never sleeps, it won't be too late for you to return to Wenfeng City with us. Lin Xuanzhong's actions surprised several people, but out of trust in Lin Xuanzhong, several people still accepted Lin Xuanzhong's acquiescence, so Ye Yun gave his own proposal.
In the past few days, this is the third time that Ye Yun has proposed to let Lin Xuanzhong join their mercenary team, but the reason why Lin Xuanzhong is reluctant to join is the same as before, maybe after rescuing Qinglan, Lin Xuanzhong will go back to Wenfeng City to find them, but for now, Lin Xuanzhong just wants to go to Wenfeng City as soon as possible.
Having said that, in fact, what Lin Xuanzhong really plans to go to is Surabaya City now, because he has already received information from Ye Yun and them about the whereabouts of the Lin family, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't mention the matter of his change of place to Ye Yun and them.
"There's no rush in this matter, it's not too late to come back and join your mercenary team when I return to Windy City. Because of the lies he made up before, Lin Xuanzhong could only answer like this.
Lin Xuanzhong's answer was not a surprise to Ye Yun and Zhang Qi, because there was not much difference from the previous two answers, but Ye Yun became more and more puzzled about what Lin Xuanzhong was anxious to return to Wenfeng City for. Of course, everyone has their own privacy, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to go into details, and Ye Yun naturally wouldn't ask more.
"I don't know what the situation is on their side now, big brother?" Seeing that Ye Yun and Lin Xuanzhong were silent, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Zhang Qi on the side mentioned the original topic again.
A quarter of an hour had passed since the middle-aged man took the others to lure away the beast. In addition to the man in Tsing Yi, the other four people who had also gone out to reconnoiter the situation had returned to the team along the rut tracks, and now under the instructions of the second person in charge of the team, two more people were responsible for going to the front to inquire about the situation and guide the way for the team.
The rain was still very light, and only occasionally there were drops of rain on the head. There were still more than two hours left in the evening, and if the convoy had been on its way at the current pace, it would have been able to travel at least twenty miles before dark.
By the time it got dark, the convoy was very close to the station. As long as the rain is not heavy, the convoy can take a short break and travel overnight, and arrive at the post station smoothly in the middle of the night. Once you arrive at the inn, everyone can rest well and don't have to worry about the weather.
In addition, in terms of hurrying, after recuperating in the past few days, the injuries of the three most seriously injured in the previous carriage have all improved greatly, and now all the members of the entire mercenary team are in very good condition. At the moment, as long as there is no danger on the way, it is no problem to deal with some small accidents, so the team can keep moving at the current speed.
"The performance of several mammoths has completely returned to normal, and I believe that the big brother has succeeded. Walking, walking, the middle-aged woman said in an affirmative tone.
"Shuilian's guess is very reasonable, but I don't know when the eldest brother will come back?" Zhang Qi also noticed the state of the mammoth, and did not deny the middle-aged woman's guess.
"It's been a while since the split began, and you shouldn't be mistaken. It seems that he is very confident in the ability of the middle-aged team leader, and the stubble man Ye Yun also expressed his opinion.
Next, the three of them expressed some of their own opinions. In fact, a quarter of an hour ago, the middle-aged leader stopped the beast.
A quarter of an hour ago, under the leadership of the man in Tsing Yi, a group of people easily discovered the location of the fierce beast. The beast's large body and ugly appearance are the characteristics of the beast's appearance, but people will not take the ugliness of a beast lightly.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a beetle, a fierce beast that looked very similar to a lizard and usually lived in the mountains and forests, and it was very surprising that it would appear in the forest at this moment.
I saw that after the middle-aged leader gave a simple order, he immediately took the long sword and attacked the armored beast. The beetle beast is huge, four meters long and two meters wide. Judging from its size, it was indeed a fierce beast with strength equivalent to a sixth-order martial cultivator.
The flesh and skin of the armored beast are like armor made of steel, with limbs and tails, and the head is very similar to the head of a lizard, and the overall appearance is not the slightest weakness. It is worth mentioning that the armor beast not only has hard skin and flesh, but also contains highly toxic substances in its mouth, even if it is only touched by the breath of the armor beast, the general martial arts will be unwell.
Now the people brought by the middle-aged team leader except for Qing Yi, everyone else is a fifth-order martial cultivator, because only a fifth-order martial cultivator does not need to approach a high-level fierce beast, otherwise once it gets too close to a fierce beast, it is very likely that there will be casualties, and now it is even more so in the face of a poisonous armored beast.
Not long after, under the orders of the middle-aged leader, several martial cultivators stopped the running armored beast with a closed circle. Attack at a distance of three meters from the armored beast, and the man in Tsing Yi is ready to attack at any time at a distance with a bow and arrow because of his strength.
The armored beast that was originally tracking its prey suddenly saw more than a dozen prey, and it was naturally excited, no longer chasing the mammoth breath, and turned its huge body that was four meters long and two meters wide to attack the people around it.
When the armor beast quickly moved and pounced on its prey, one after another strong energy hit the armor beast, and everyone wanted to block the armor beast's advancing body with various attacks. However, after those energetic attacks hit the armored beast, it was completely useless like a stone sinking into the sea, and the armored beast was still rushing towards its original target.
