Chapter 279: Encountering a Bandit on the Road
Dao Pagoda is located in the center of the Glowing Continent, and it is also the common border area of the three empires, so students who travel from here to experience the three empires will theoretically have a short trip. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...... However, since the training time is one year, and at the beginning, the team works together to complete the task, and then their own training, so there will naturally be fewer roads on the way to the destination.
The five of Long Yuan also followed this "unspoken rule" since they set off, and the initial goal was the teleportation array, so after several transfers in between, they finally approached their destination.
"Is this the place where the beast tide of the Tiandang Mountain Range was plagued a few years ago?" As soon as the strange man and woman in their team entered this area, they began to look around.
They were walking on a plain, but they could see many shadows of mountains on the horizon, and the vegetation on the ground beneath them seemed to have grown in recent years, and it was not very prosperous.
"Yes, but I've recovered a lot now. Peng Wei replied, he also looked around, and sure enough, a gloomy feeling soaked into his heart.
This is one of the scourge places of the beast tide slaughter in the Tiandang Mountain Range back then, and although many half-destroyed cities can now be seen to be rebuilt and revitalized, the scale is not as good as before.
That beast tide slaughtered nearly thirty percent of the territory of the Tidal Domain, killing and injuring countless people, and it was an unforgettable nightmare even for those who are still living in this area.
Theoretically, more capable people should have left this ominous land early, but fortunately, after that beast tide, some hermit venerables moved the hermit to this area, vowing to protect it, so that the population density here did not plummet.
Naturally, the Imperial Family also wanted to revitalize this area, so a lot of work has been done in the past few years, but after all, the time is still short, and the reconstruction of the city has not yet been completely completed.
And on the plains between the cities, the land where the beast tide has stepped is also full of sadness, as if telling the blood and tears of the past, after all, there were countless creatures who were buried in this area at that time.
Although Long Yuan had traveled in the Phantom Tide Empire for a short time, it was obviously the first time he had walked to this area, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw such a scene.
"The next part of the road will pass through a mountainous area, and I've heard that there are often bandits there, so it seems that we will have to work a little harder. Peng Wei took out a map and spread it out, then pointed to their route and said.
Everyone looked, sure enough, there was a mountain area marked in front of them, but in fact, this area was indeed mountainous, not to mention the already famous Tiandang Mountain Range, some ordinary small valleys also existed here as sporadically.
"That's fine, after all, it's a long way to get around. The man in the team, a strange man and a woman, said lightly, not as if he was bothered by this, but still a little excited.
His name is He Xin, and the other strange woman is his lover Tang Lian, and it is said that the two can be assigned to the same team by random assignment, and they can be regarded as good luck.
"Hehe, if we really run into them, maybe we can rob them back. Tang Lian said with a smile, her appearance and temperament are not bad, she should be a lady.
These two people obviously have a heart, and they are both fighting against the idea of those bandits, after all, it is indeed very pleasant to bump into the bandits and rob them back.
Peng Wei didn't say anything when he heard this, and if he was as steady as he was, he wouldn't just say his true opinion, not to mention that he was still waiting for the opinions of the other two people here.
"I wonder what the strength of those bandits is?" Luo Tianyi, who was the most eye-catching among the five of them, asked softly, his voice like a heavenly sound.
Long Yuan nodded slightly, Luo Tianyi's question was to the point, if they were as simple-minded as that couple, it was estimated that their team would be forced to run away with cross-border charms due to danger in a short time.
For a person who is steady and cautious and good at comprehensive thinking and analysis, He Xin and Tang Lian Fangcai's words simply insulted his IQ, and Long Yuan immediately positioned them as pig teammates.
Peng Wei also raised his head slowly, and said with a light smile: "According to the information I know, most of these bandits are people who are not in the stream, and their leaders are at most fourth-order to the edge. ā
As the captain, he had to know in advance about some of the places he passed through during the training, and Peng Wei was obviously very competent for this kind of thing.
"That's great, but it's going to take a lot of effort to meet it. Long Yuan said, he glanced at the couple, and sure enough, both of them had happy looks on their faces.
It's good to exterminate the bandits, but these two don't just want to enjoy the killing...... Long Yuan looked at them deeply, feeling that these two should be outstanding clansmen of a big family who had not experienced much of the wind and rain in the outside world, otherwise why would they be so excited?
"Huh, since there are no objections, let's go on. Peng Wei retrieved the map, memorized the route, and beckoned his teammates to continue walking.
After more than a year of accumulation, the strength of the Dao Tower students has also improved a lot, first of all, Peng Wei has changed from the fourth-order advanced level during the competitive competition to the current fourth-order peak, considering that the improvement of the small realm after the fourth order has gradually become slow, his progress is not bad.
Long Yuan and Luo Tianyi, as peerless Tianjiao, were now at the level of the half-step fourth-order, and they planned to take the remaining half-step after more accumulation.
As for He Xin and Tang Lian, the couple was slightly weaker, He Xin's soul power strength had barely reached the third-order consummation, while Tang Lian was only at the peak of the third-order, and the gap between them and the peerless Tianjiao had been widening since then.
But the two of them didn't seem to be discouraged, and they had been yearning for this kind of experience for a long time, but Peng Wei still put them in the middle, walking in the front by himself, Luo Tianyi next to them, and Long Yuan walking last.
Although the strength of the bandits may not be good, this is not an excuse for them to take lightly, when they go out to practice, there will always be unexpected things, so now when they enter the mountains, Peng Wei, Long Yuan, and Luo Tianyi, the three experienced people, are ready to take precautions.
"There were, about two dozen people. Halfway through, Long Yuan said suddenly.
He had served as a bounty hunter for a period of time, and he had taken the dart to exterminate many bandits, so he was able to feel the abnormality one step ahead of Luo Tianyi;
They maintained this formation unchanged, and they didn't plan to take the lead, because the bandits came from several directions, and anyway, the targets of these people were all on the road, so it was better to wait.
Several arrow feathers were shot from the mountains and forests, but Peng Wei and the others didn't seem to see them, and those arrow feathers that were obviously aimed at them actually shifted their direction very unnaturally when they were about to approach.
"Haha, good fellow, it's no ordinary rusher, but it's funny!" the sound of tight footsteps drew closer, and a loud laugh came.
Then more than 20 figures came out of the mountains and forests, surrounding Peng Wei and the five people in the middle from all sides, all of them with a ruthless face, holding swords and soldiers, eyeing the five of them.
And there was apparently a leader among them, who must have just spoken, a tall and majestic man, with a terrifying knife in his hand, and a trail of blood that had not been washed away.
This man had a fierce face, a ruthless person who often added blood to the edge of the knife, and I don't know how many people who passed by on this road died under his knife.
I have to say that these bandits are still quite wise, although this is a mountainous area, but it is a shortcut to the future, these bandits often only attack those who seem to be slightly weaker, so they can exist to this day.
In the eyes of these people, the young and small Peng Wei five people are obviously the targets worth targeting, and this leader can not accurately perceive the strength of Peng Wei and the five people, and subconsciously sees them as weaker than himself.
Peng Wei and the five were speechless, and it was difficult for the other party to perceive that their aura naturally had the effect of life-saving things given by the top management of the Dao Tower, but they could know the general strength of the other party.
The leader is a little able to see it, the strength of soul power is at the middle level of the fourth order, and there is one person who is also at the level of the fourth order primary level, but the rest of the thieves are not seen, but they are all second-order and third-order strength, which is also more in line with Peng Wei's analysis.
"Yo, there are two more women!" another fourth-level bandit said with a lewd smile, he had been looking at Luo Tianyi and Tang Lian with very covetous eyes.
The other bandits are similar, especially Luo Tianyi, who is like a fairy, how can these bandits have ever seen such a beautiful woman, and they are naturally lustful.
Tang Lian noticed their gaze and suddenly felt a burst of anger, and wanted to take the lead, but was stopped by Peng Wei, who was still looking at the other party for some reason.
On the other hand, Luo Tianyi looked quite calm, as if he was waiting for Peng Wei to speak, after all, he was the captain of this team.
"Heh, even if we know that there are tigers in the mountains, we will be biased towards the tiger mountains, not to mention where you can be regarded as a roadblock. Peng Wei said out loud, and when he came up, he used very "vicious" words to ridicule these bandits.
"Hmph, you kid can say it, but don't think that the son of which family has no fear, so we won't be afraid of your background!" the leading bandit sneered when he heard this.
Judging from the clothes of Peng Wei's five people, he thought that these five people should all be members of some capable families, but so what? They were originally a group of grass cowards who were adding blood to the knife all day long, so who was afraid of provoking these families.
Peng Wei didn't respond to him this time, but asked He Xin and Tang Lian, "Can you two defeat him together?"
Long Yuan's heart moved, from this sentence, he knew that Peng Wei should not plan to make a move in person, but this is also right, kill chickens with a knife, and a few of them will not think that Peng Wei is deliberately showing a master's demeanor, and he obviously has other plans to do so.
"This ...... I guess it's a little difficult. Hearing this, He Xin and the two thought carefully for a moment before muttering in a low voice.
Although they really wanted to deal with these bandits, they still knew their own strength very well, knowing that although the two of them were Dao Pagoda students, after all, one was only a third-order consummation, and the other was only a third-order peak, and it would be difficult to defeat a fourth-order intermediate monk if they joined forces, even if the other party might not enter the stream.
"Well, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with these minions this time. Peng Wei said lightly when he heard this, he had already decided on everyone's opponent.
"Hmph! The thieves also heard Peng Wei's words, and immediately sneered.
The two fourth-level bandit leaders also sneered, and immediately shouted, letting their subordinates do it, killing the men and taking the women away.
Since there were two beautiful women among the prey, these bandits also came to the strength, grabbed their weapons and killed Peng Wei and them, but they didn't know that this was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Peng Wei stood still, while He Xin and Tang Lian rushed out first, one of them blocked these bandits, and as soon as he made a move, he turned these people on their backs.
Seeing this, the two fourth-order strength thieves suddenly changed color, and they wanted to do it themselves, but they saw Luo Tianyi rushing towards the two of them one step ahead of Long Yuan, and she had already taken out the soft whip wrapped around her waist and transformed it into a hard whip form.
Considering that the realm of the other party was higher than her own, she did not use the soft whip of the sweeping nature, and she really wanted to fight one against two as Long Yuan expected.
"Women are not easy to mess with. Long Yuan sighed, he knew that although Luo Tianyi looked quiet and pure, the other party dared to covet her body with such a ** gaze, which would naturally cause her anger and killing intent. (To be continued)
