Chapter 126: Temptation
Chapter 126: Temptation
The next morning, everything was ready. The scale of the Eastern caravan was very large, and there were sixty-three carriages filled with all kinds of goods alone, and the carriages were loaded with some daily necessities, ready to be transported to the Yunmeng Wasteland for sale.
There is also a city on the edge of the Yunmeng Wasteland, that is, the "End Cloud Su" that Wei Miao once said.
The end of the cloud house is rumored to be established by the Yunmeng Kingdom, mainly for the rest of the adventurers who enter the Yunmeng wilderness to explore, so the function of the entire city is very simple. Except for a few necessary trading places and resting houses, there is nothing else! It is a completely chaotic area, and the only law that people abide by is "the law of the jungle", which is full of naked bandit logic, and there is no worldly moral restraint at all.
Because of the border between the Yunmeng Wasteland and the Black Wind Plain, there are no conditions for growing crops in the end of Cloud Residence, and all supplies must be sold by foreign merchants, and if you want to sell daily necessities to end Cloud Plain, you must pass through the dangerous Black Wind Plain. Therefore, after a few twists and turns, an ordinary food can be sold at a sky-high price in the end of the cloud house.
For this reason, many adventurers use Jiuli Town as their last place to recuperate and recuperate, and only after purchasing enough daily necessities here do they choose to go to Moyunsu. However, not everyone can afford to consume such sky-high alchemy items as knots, so they can't carry too much dry food with them, so they have to choose to buy them at a high price in the end of the clouds. This is also the reason why the Eastern caravan does not sell anything else, but only transports the necessities of life to Sueunju. In Sueunjuku, the price of silk is often not as good as a piece of half-baked black bread!
The entire caravan, plus Ling Feng and his party, as well as the Motu mercenary group that acted as an escort, had about three hundred people, and the momentum was quite huge after they were lined up.
Holding a tall horse, Motu paced in front of Ling Feng, and said with a cold expression: "Mr. Ling, this is about to be pulled, I hope your baby soldiers will not become a burden to everyone!"
In order to temper the Blood Guard, Ling Feng did not prepare any horses to travel on his behalf, relying entirely on their foot strength. Able to stand out from the test of the Lionheart Hall, the Blood Warriors were extremely resilient, and no one complained along the way, but they enjoyed this "torture" very much, and in the asceticism and killing along the way, their temperament changed rapidly. On weekdays, they all seem to be lazy, and only the people around them know how terrible they will be once they are tense!
Standing behind Ling Feng, Hei Tingsi narrowed his eyes slightly, took a step forward, and a fierce aura was revealed!
Mo Tu felt that the hairs on his body exploded for no reason, as if standing in front of him was a wild beast, not a human body! He was shocked, and his hands couldn't help but hold the saber beside him! Knowing that such a weak move was humiliating, but he just couldn't control his actions in the face of the evil anger of Black Tings.
"Hattings. Behind him, Ling Feng called softly.
After this shout, Motu found that the fierce beast just now instantly turned into the most obedient black rabbit, and stood behind Ling Feng with great respect, as if the fierce beast just now had nothing to do with him at all.
Ling Feng smiled and arched his hand at Motu and said: "Thank you Commander Mo for admonishing us, our group of people has no other skills, and we still have some leg strength, I believe it will not drag down your group." ”
He glanced at Ling Feng in a daze, and when he found that the other party had a gentle face, Mo Tu snorted heavily. I had the heart to say a few words about the scene, but the shock of Black Courts just now made him subconsciously cowardly, and he never could say that cruel word.
Li Chong walked over, and said to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, why don't you just buy some horses for you at the expense of the old man?"
"Thank you for your kindness," Ling Feng said half-bowed, "We're used to it along the way, so we don't have to bother taking care of things." ”
"Oh well. Li Chong turned to Motu and said, "Commander Motu, let's slow down a little along the way, the guards in the caravan are not very fast." ”
Motu didn't know what he was thinking, he nodded expressionlessly, and the scar on his cheek swelled a little hideously for a while!
......
The caravan is off!
When he really went deep into the Black Wind Plain, Ling Feng understood why the adventurers of the Black Wind Plain all changed color! At first, it was okay, the road was smooth and occasionally bumpy was also within the acceptable range. But as the caravan progressed deeper, the weeds on the Black Wind Plains became extremely lush, often three steps away, and nothing could be seen, only the weeds dancing in the wind like demons came into view.
The weeds here have a strange blue-gray color and thick stalks, which ordinary people can cut with knives and axes in several strokes. From time to time, one or two demonic beasts would pop out of the weeds, and they would often be killed immediately by the sharp-eyed mercenary guards! This was nothing, the most fatal thing was the smell of wet rot in the grass, accompanied by a large group of poisonous insects.
Fortunately, the caravan was well prepared, and each carriage was lit with a kind of "rosin", which was as thick as a child's arm, and the surface was brown, and once ignited, there was no fire, and there was only a thick cyan smoke rising from the clouds, which could emit a fragrance that penetrated the heart and spleen, and could greatly disperse poisonous insects.
Rao is like this, and in the evening, there are still many people who are swollen by poisonous insects. At this time, he saw the usefulness of Benetton, and as if he had a treasure chest with him, he immediately found a white ointment, and instructed the person who had been bitten to apply it to the swollen bag, which would cool down and relieve the pain in a short time.
Most of the bites from the poisonous insects were ordinary guards in the caravan, and they were too weak to use their True Power Protectors like the Blood Guards, but with Benetton's ointment, they became much easier. Many of the guards who had previously complained about Ling Feng and the others joining also began to change their concepts and became friendly.
"Captain Motu, is the road ahead in the right direction? Old Man seems to remember that he shouldn't take this road to the Yunmeng Wasteland, right?" Li Chong felt like he was getting old and strong, he didn't ride in the carriage, but rode a horse alone, and at this time he caught up with Motu who was opening the way in front of him and asked.
"Oh", Motu said a little apologetically: "I forgot to tell the steward, according to the information provided by the welcome building, a group of wild wolves appeared on the original road a few days ago, although the wolves are not in the habit of settling, but for the sake of insurance, it is better for us to take a detour." Moreover, the road is much smoother now. If the steward is not at ease, we will go the same way?"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Chong smiled and said: "The old man is a layman to these things, so everything should be arranged by the head of the regiment." ”
"Motu will do his best to bring the Eastern caravan to the Yunmeng Wasteland, and he will never live up to the trust of the steward!" Motu promised, a hint of banter flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"Thank you so much, Captain!"
......
The sky gradually darkened, and finally, the caravan found a clearing with relatively few weeds. Li Chong shouted loudly, beckoning the caravan to stop, watching him busy working back and forth, it was really hard to imagine that this was an old man.
"Be careful!" Mo Tu, who was getting down from the horse, suddenly shouted, the tip of the knife in his hand slammed into the air, and a black shadow shot quickly towards Ling Feng!
A soft "hum" came from Ling Feng's side, and then he saw Gu Yao flying, his arm shook lightly and "snapped", and the ground slapped the black shadow!
"Woo" There was a wail, and the black shadow was slammed to the ground by this hand knife, twitching a few times and struggling to wail. Gu Yao looked coldly at Motu on the side, and Motu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this black-boned pheasant appeared in a hurry, and I couldn't grasp the direction and disturb Mr. Ling!" he clenched his fists and arched his hands, looking very arrogant.
"It's okay, this thing hasn't hurt anyone anyway, but Commander Motu will have to be careful in the future, in case he accidentally injures his companion when facing the enemy, then this guard is not very competent. Ling Feng's tone was light. Mo Tu frowned, he heard a hint of warning from Ling Feng's tone, but Ling Feng's casual appearance made him not dare to be sure of his judgment. However, just now he achieved his goal, and Motu secretly sneered: Even a single black-bone pheasant can't be killed with all his strength, it seems that it is really a group of gentlemen who came out to play!
Although he had made a final judgment on the identity and origin of Ling Feng and his party in his heart, the flickering evil aura of Black Courts in Jiuli Town this morning was like a lingering shadow, which made him a little inexplicably flustered. Subconsciously, Motu avoided Ling Feng and the others and went to camp in the distance.
"Very well handled. Ling Feng looked at Gu Yao beside him and praised with a smile. He pointed at the right time, "This thing came at the right time, just to feast on meat." ”
The black-boned pheasant is as big as a small dog, and its whole body is snow-white, but its bones are pitch black, hence its name. The black bone pheasant's feathers are extremely hard and can resist the shooting of powerful arrows, and the speed of the volley is extremely fast, and ordinary four or five star powerhouses may not be able to get it! Its flesh is firm and delicious, and it has a very nourishing effect, especially for young girls, it has the miraculous effect of nourishing the face, so a black bone pheasant can often be sold at a good price in the prosperous city.
"Hehe, what a fat black-boned pheasant, it's best to make soup at night. Zhu Ganglie drooled and picked up the black bone pheasant.
"Wow, where did the little monster come from," Qiao Qiao hugged Dongfang Shan and jumped out of the carriage. As soon as he saw the black-boned pheasant that was constantly twitching in Zhu Ganglie's hand, he screamed in surprise. Dongfang Shan frowned in her arms, and also pouted.
"Uh-" was discovered by Qiao Qiao, and it was too late for Zhu Ganglie to hide again. He couldn't help but sigh, all the cute beasts he hunted along the way, there was no time when he was not severely reprimanded after being discovered by Qiao Qiao, and it seems that this time is no exception.
Sure enough, Qiao Qiao scolded: "Hmph, you can also do such a cute monster, it's really-" She lowered her head and stroked Shanshan's head: "Shanshan, do you think they are cruel?"
"Hmm!" Dongfang Shan nodded her little head and put her index finger in her mouth: "Fat brother, remember to put more salt in the soup, Shanshan likes to eat salty." ”
Jojo: "......"
