At this time, a convoy slowly passed through the wasteland, the main means of transportation was delicate beast carts, each of which was exactly the same size and shape, and the animal pulling the cart was not an ugly wilderness monster, but a kind of white horse with a single horn and a divine body.

Each beast cart was planted with a flag, a green picture on a red background, fluttering in the wind, it was a flower pattern entwined with thorns. The number of guards in the whole team is about thirty, the armor is carved with a thorn flower pattern, and the weapons are mainly continuous fire crossbows and telescopic blades produced in the god domain, which are very common ordinary equipment in the god domain.

An old man with snow-white hair is the leader of the team, his face is full of traces of years of carving, snow-white hair hangs down his shoulders one by one, although he is very old, but he looks in good spirits, a silk robe painted with a delicate thorn flower pattern is properly cut, and his right hand holds a black jade bracelet, each jade bead is rubbed and shiny all year round.

Unified family pattern, unified custom beast car, unified weapons and equipment.

The carts were full of ores, skins, and herbs, all of which revealed their identities.

The Thorn Flower Caravan, an ordinary small caravan in the Tianyun Divine Domain, Lao Jing is the founder of the caravan.

The people of Tianyun City are naturally proud, and in the minds of the people of the Divine Domain, the wilderness has long been demonized into a barren land full of filth and blood for murderers and monsters, coupled with the various prohibitions of Tianyun City, no one wants to interact with the wilderness.

Lao Jing was a commoner in his early years, he was a very business-minded person, because there are many ores, leathers and other precious materials in the wilderness that are ownerless, if these things can be collected and transported back to the Divine Domain for processing, it will definitely be profitable, although the people of the Divine Domain are not allowed to set foot in the wilderness easily, but the control in the marginal land is not so strict.

Lao Jing created the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce to become a marginal merchant, and the marginal merchant operates in the buffer zone between the Divine Domain and the wilderness, and has perfect relevant procedures, which does not violate the Tianyun Code, but it is also inevitable to deal with the wilderness people, so the status of this kind of person is not high. Lao Jing is already seventy years old, and he thinks it's time to find an opportunity to retire and become a serious businessman as soon as possible.

"Huh?" Lao Jing suddenly stopped turning the black jade bead in his hand, and when he didn't find a familiar young figure left and right, he asked the captain of the guard, "Where did Xiaofeng go?"

The captain of the guard replied, "It seems that he said that he had gone to explore the way." ”

"This kid is playful again!" Lao Jing showed a loving expression on his face, he had no children in his life, Xiaofeng was one of the orphans he adopted, although he was an adopted son, but his talent was extremely high, Lao Jing was a marginal businessman who was despised by the people of Tianyun City for half his life, whether he could shine on the lintel in the future depends on this son, "The marginal land is not as good as the Divine Domain, and it has been very unpeaceful recently, I am afraid that it will be dangerous to run around alone, you can take a few people to find it." ”

The captain of the guard showed a wry smile and said, "President, you don't know that Young Master Feng is a person who was selected by a demon hunter, although he has not yet become a demon hunter, but in terms of skills, he is already far above us, do you still need a few of us to protect him?"

This made the wrinkles on Lao Jing's face stretch, and every ravine was full of pride.

Demon hunter, what a glorious identity, how proud to be called, a businessman like Lao Jing who wanders in the gray area, when facing such a high-level existence, he has always had the qualifications to admire and worship. Now that his adopted son has been tested for his talent as a demon hunter, he is very likely to become a demon hunter in the future, and Lao Jing can be regarded as dead and blind.

"Although Xiaofeng is very talented, but after all, he is inexperienced, so let's go and have a look. ”

Suddenly there was a voice from the front.

"Father, come on!"

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy hurried over, his appearance looked capable and clever, his facial features were upright, very smart, his gray hair was relatively long, he was erected and tied in a ponytail behind his head, he probably ran around outside all the year round, his skin looked a little wind and sun traces, but it gave people a lively and healthy feeling.

The boy pointed to a stone not far away, and saw two people behind it.

One man and one woman.

The woman looked to be about thirteen years old, dressed in tattered clothes, unkempt, and very embarrassed, but her eyes were very clear, and she was looking at these people with a timid and panicked face.

The man was wearing a mask and couldn't see his age, but his figure seemed to be relatively thin, so he didn't feel very old, but he was lying on a stone at this moment, and he looked as if he was unconscious.

The little girl grabbed the dagger and gestured in a panic: "Don't come here!"

The young man looked at the girl a few times, although she looked embarrassed, but her eyebrows were delicate, she should be quite beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel a little good in his heart: "Don't be afraid, little girl, we are not bad people, this soldier brother seems to be injured." ”

This unconscious man was wearing the armor of the soldiers of Tianyun City, the armor of the soldiers of Tianyun City is a military standard equipment, and its materials and production processes are beyond the mastery of ordinary people, so only regular soldiers of Tianyun City are qualified to wear it, if someone in the people tries to imitate or steal, it will seriously violate the Tianyun Code, and the most serious will be exiled.

Therefore, when they saw this thin man wearing a mask, Young Xiaofeng and Lao Jing and the captain of the guard all thought that this person was a soldier of the Tianyun Divine Domain, but how could the soldier appear here? The armor made of white jade like a work of art had long been covered with dirt and dust, which showed that he had been walking on foot for at least ten or twenty days, and he had definitely come from the direction of the wilderness.

The little girl didn't look like she was from the Tianyun Divine Domain.

Lao Jing and the captain of the guard carefully observed the person dressed as a Tianyun soldier again, although the person had already arrived, he was still holding a weapon of the Divine Domain standard soldier in his hand, and there were several signs of wear and damage on its surface, could it be a soldier who was injured in the course of his mission and fled back from the wilderness.

Lao Jing gave the captain of the guard a look: "Let the doctor take a look." ”

The young man Xiaofeng walked directly to the little girl, the little girl waved the dagger in panic, when the dagger came over, the young man Xiaofeng gently pinched and pulled two fingers, and the dagger was seized by him, he put the dagger in his hand and danced a fancy sword flower, and then said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." ”

The little girl was pulled aside.

She looked at the people of the Divine Domain, trembling all over, her face was pale, and she looked pitiful.

At this moment, the doctor of the Thornflower caravan appeared, a slender woman, who opened the mask of the man who had fallen to the ground. No one thought that the face under this mask was a little younger than Xiao Feng, probably fifteen or sixteen years old.

How could this guy be so young?

Is he a soldier of Tianyun City after all!

The doctor examined Yun Ying's body and turned back to the others and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just that I've been thirsty for a long time, dehydrated and unconscious." But this guy's identity is very suspicious, and I think we'd better leave it alone. ”

"Now that you've met, you have to figure it out, maybe you can make a good fate. Lao Jing turned the black jade bracelet in his hand, and he raised his hand and commanded: "Let's carry him into the car first." ”

The little girl in the wilderness watched with a frightened face as these gods carried people away in front of her, and although she was scared, she still followed. In fact, it is not difficult to find that the people in the Thorn Flower Caravan, including the kind old Thorn.

This is a very normal phenomenon, the wilderness and the god domain are different worlds, and the wilderness people are purely synonymous with dirt and evil in the eyes of the people of the god domain, even the marginal merchants have no good feelings about everything in the wilderness.

One exception is made.

The young man Xiaofeng didn't seem to have any concerns, he walked over and approached the little girl: "What's your name?"

The little girl was very vigilant, her eyes were fixed on the person in front of her, and she was too afraid to speak.

"Don't be nervous. Xiao Feng saw that the corners of the little girl's mouth were chapped and blisters were growing, which was obviously a symptom of dehydration, so he took off the water bag from his waist and gave it to her, "Are you thirsty? ”

The little girl was very afraid of the people of the Divine Domain, but she was a child after all, and she was so thirsty that she did not resist the temptation to take the water bag, and she immediately opened it and drank it.

Xiaofeng showed a smile: "Can you tell me now?"

The little girl didn't dare to drink more, she hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Asha." ”

Young Xiaofeng nodded: "Not bad name, who gave you the name?"

This sentence reminded Asha of her sad past, as if she had seen the usually smug adoptive father, who was actually kind and pious in his heart, and the scene of him being beaten, tortured, burned and hanged by the wilderness mob.

Xiao Feng seemed to see the little girl's sadness, and he immediately changed the topic and asked, "Is that unconscious soldier your friend?" ”

Asha is young and ignorant but not stupid, she knows that these people will save people, purely mistaking him for a soldier, of course she will not deny his identity, just say: "He said his name is Yunying, he is a good person!"

This was heard by the rest of the caravan.

The name Yunying is a bit strange, but it looks like a name used by the wilderness.

"Xiaofeng!

Lao Jing seems to be dissatisfied with his adopted son being too close to the wilderness girl, after all, Xiaofeng is the one who wants to become a demon hunter in the future, how can a noble demon hunter come into contact with a lowly wilderness person?

Xiaofeng shrugged helplessly, so he had to pass.

Lao Jing, Xiao Feng, the female doctor, the captain of the guard, and the four of them began to discuss.

The female doctor did not approve of leaving the person behind, and she was the first to speak: "We have fed him water, and his body should be fine, but we can't determine his identity yet, and if his identity is fake, I'm afraid it will cause us trouble." ”

Lao Jing nodded: "What do you think?"

The captain of the guard expressed his opinion: "I think more is better than less, not to mention that each of us has a fixed amount of food and water, if we bring one more person, we may have to consume a little more, in case the trip is delayed due to accidents, I am afraid it will affect us." ”

"Having said that, everyone has been saved, so you can't throw it back. The young man Xiaofeng spoke, "We are only two days away from the sandbank camp, I think we will take him for the time being, and wait for him to wake up to verify his identity, if he is really a soldier, we can make a great contribution when we rescue him, and if he is a deserter and traitor, we can also make a meritorious service when we escort him back." Even if you save the wrong person, it's a big deal to throw it in front of the sandbank camp. ”

Everyone looked at each other a few times.

Makes sense, so do it!

The caravan began to move again, but this time only every few minutes.

From all directions, there was a roar of rolling thunder, and it was a rapid and dense sound of hundreds of iron hooves stepping on the ground at the same time, and the people of the Thorn Flower Caravan all showed a look of shock, they only understood what it meant.

"It's not good, it's a reckless group!"

Someone shouted in horror.
