Chapter 29: Crisis
Looking at the guards who were still sleeping beside her, Ling Xue shook her head and smiled bitterly, secretly giving them a big bad comment in her heart, this group of people is simply too unprofessional, and no one can wake up now in order to fight with themselves, if this is an enemy attack, they all have to explain here today......
Putting down the wine glass in her hand, Ling Xue stood up, smiled and watched the dusty Jiang Xingyuan pass through the guards and walk towards her, and the shadow under her also escaped back into Jiang Xingyuan's body at this time.
At this time, the night was vast, and it was extremely difficult to find the direction in the desert, and the reason why Jiang Xingyuan was able to accurately judge the location of the camp was all due to the credit of this wisp of soul shadow on Ling Xue's body.
"Miss...... Have you arrived at the second layer of the Condensation Realm?" From the moment he saw Ling Xue, Jiang Xingyuan felt that the aura on her body seemed to be more powerful than a few days ago, exuding a more powerful aura, and thinking of a certain possibility, Jiang Xingyuan's expression couldn't help but be happy.
"Elder Jiang has good eyesight, I felt something last night, and I finally broke through to the second layer of the Condensation Realm through the change in my mood. Smiling slightly, Ling Xue said, but when she saw the emptiness at Jiang Xingyuan's feet, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Old Jiang, ...... the shadow under your feet?"
By the moonlight, he found that Jiang Xingyuan had no shadow under him at this time, and understood that there was only one situation that would make Jiang Xingyuan lose his shadow in a short period of time.
"Yes, he was discovered, and he was a terrifying strong man, but this person was not Cao Xing'an, but someone else. ”
With her gaze condensed, Ling Xue was shocked in her heart, she was very clear about the hidden nature of Jiang Xingyuan's soul technique Moon Shadow, now with the strength of the fifth layer of Jiang Xingyuan's Condensation Pulse Realm, coupled with the excellent stealth environment with high night dark winds, it was almost impossible for people of the same level to find the traces of Jiang Xingyuan's Moon Shadow!
This person's cultivation is at least six layers high in the Condensation Realm, or perhaps a martial soul with extremely high alertness.
Now I can only hope that it is the latter, the cultivation of the sixth layer of the Condensation Vein Realm, such a strong person, Ling Xue has never seen it, but according to the opponents she has encountered so far, even if the means are all out, I am afraid that sixty percent of the people who have fallen are herself.
Thinking that Jiang Xingyuan would encounter such a terrible enemy on this trip, Ling Xue couldn't help but secretly feel a little afraid in her heart, fortunately Jiang Xingyuan was able to come back alive, otherwise her only relative in this life would be gone.
"This is the last time, next time without my permission, Jiang Lao, you can't do such a dangerous thing alone. ”
Ling Xue said with a cold face.
"Yes, miss, the old slave won't dare to do this next time. Knowing that the young lady was worried about herself, Jiang Xingyuan grinned and responded.
"It's for the best. Let's talk about it, old Jiang, what have you discovered? ”
Now that the Moon Shadow has been destroyed, the information Jiang Xingyuan obtained through the Moon Shadow must be greatly reduced, and I hope that the information he got at the risk of his life will not be missing too much.
Jiang Xingyuan walked over, attached to Ling Xue's ear, and said: "The last message from Moon Shadow is very broken, and the old slave only got fragmented information such as "the second half of the lore", "layout", and "things are ready", but Cao Xing'an does have different intentions, and the target is Miss Ke, but now I don't know what they want to do. ”
Indeed, as Ling Xue and Ke Yimeng speculated, this escort caravan now seemed to be peaceful, but in fact, it was a fierce surge, full of deadly murderous intentions. She and Jiang Xingyuan are only half a foot in this complex power vortex at the moment, and if they want to get out, there is still the possibility of retreating.
Originally, the only people in the caravan that Ling Xue was afraid of were Steward Cao, who was at the fifth level of the Condensation Realm, and Yin Guard, who cultivated as an unknown, if he wanted to take Jiang Xingyuan and leave, with the huge improvement brought by the Snake Sword Martial Soul, Ling Xue was still a little sure.
But now, there was another powerhouse whose cultivation could reach the sixth layer of the Condensation Realm, which made Ling Xue completely unable to grasp the direction of the situation.
If she goes down with the caravan, she will definitely fall into the quagmire, and she can't live or die by herself!
No matter how you look at it, it is the wisest choice to withdraw at this time.
If it was only her, it would be fine, but at this time she still had Jiang Xingyuan by her side, although Jiang Xingyuan had the cultivation of the fifth layer of the Condensation Realm, but he only had three months of life, if he used his vitality excessively, he would further reduce his lifespan, I am afraid that if he can't wait for himself to get Baicao Dan to continue his life, Jiang Lao will not be able to support it.
Ke Yimeng has a good heart, she has treated Ling Xue and the two of them well from the beginning, and she is also a first-class beauty, Ling Xue can't bear her to die in the black desert like this, but she shouldn't take her own and Jiang Lao's lives to rescue.
Now, I can only see what Ke Yimeng thinks, if Steward Cao hasn't come back, maybe he can take her to escape this murder, but will the other party let them leave the caravan easily?
Steward Cao is not in the camp now, and if she wants to leave, no one can stop her.
However, a figure covered in heavy silver armor appeared in Ling Xue's mind.
That's the Yin guard who disappeared halfway through the bonfire party!
She can't see through this person's cultivation, although he looks upright, but his style of acting is like friend or foe, in Ling Xue's opinion, this person is far more dangerous than Cao Xing'an.
"Elder Jiang, where is Steward Cao now, did you see Escort Yin last night?"
"After the old slave was discovered, there was not much vitality at that time, but fortunately Steward Cao did not chase after him, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable. Now, the old slave guessed that Steward Cao's side was in trouble, and he would rush back. As for Escort Yin, the old slave only saw Steward Cao whispering a few words to Escort Yin before leaving, but he didn't see him again. ”
Whispered a few words?
Ling Xue nodded contemplatively, but she was thinking about the relationship between Steward Cao and this Yin guard.
Now everything is like seeing flowers in the fog, fortunately, I can break through the bottleneck at such a critical juncture, so that I can be more sure in such a treacherous and complex environment, and have more chances to survive in danger.
The vast black desert is really not an easy place to deal with, and it has the feeling of serving the wolf in front and driving the tiger behind.
Walking alone and alone, there will be too many young people who will think about walking with the big caravan, and they will unconsciously be involved in the open and secret battles in the caravan.
Tianhai County, the martial arts holy land of Tianyun Country, is really not so easy to get.
"Miss don't worry about the old slave, if you decide to stay, the old slave will definitely not drag the young lady back. As if seeing the consideration in Ling Xue's heart, Jiang Xingyuan said softly.
"Do you want to go or stay for a while, Old Jiang, you go with me to find Miss Ke first. ”
Without further ado, Ling Xue decided to go to Ke Yimeng first to explain the current situation.
At this time, Ke Yimeng was taking a nap in the wildebeest carriage with Green Lotus at this time, but saw Ling Xue open the curtain of the carriage in a hurry, and walked in, looking at the heroic woman in front of him with a puzzled but somewhat cold expression.
Ling Xue first took a deep breath, and then told Ke Yimeng what had happened, Ke Yimeng frowned when he heard it, and his eyes were even more faintly dim.
"How can they be so ungrateful! My young lady is so kind to them on weekdays, and she thinks of them for anything good! And that Steward Cao, who is the most black-bellied, originally looked very kind on weekdays, but I used to respect him so much, but now when the fox's tail leaks out, it turns out that he has a bad stomach!"
Green Lotus was filled with righteous indignation when she heard this, and stomped her feet again and again, and her little face, which was not yet very mature, was red with righteousness at this time.
"Miss Ke, if you can trust me, take a few people to follow me now, their target is you, if you are gone, the remaining guards will not be in danger, if you stay here, I am afraid it will affect them. ”
Ling Xue looked at Ke Yimeng's stunning appearance and said slowly.
In the current situation, in fact, Ke Yimeng knew very well in her heart that she had already noticed what Ling Xue said, but she had always been unwilling or unable to believe it. And after getting along with Ling Xue for a day, although it was short, she could feel that Ling Xue was the kind of person who was above board, and she would definitely not talk nonsense, these words must be well-founded
I didn't expect it to be at this point now, is this her, or does he mean it?
Ke Yimeng bit her lip tightly, no matter who it was, she stabbed her in the heart.
Finally sighed lightly and said: "I naturally trust Miss Ling, this time I really thank Miss Ling, this great kindness, if you can return to Tianhai County smoothly, you should do your best to repay it." ”
Hearing Ke Yimeng say this, Ling Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, an old voice said loudly at this moment.
"Miss Ke Er, it's important to escort the caravan right now, don't listen to other people's slander and think about something that doesn't matter. ”
