Chapter 17: The Four-Winged Pine Group

A beautiful boat several zhang long flew at an altitude of fifteen or sixteen zhang, three men and one woman sat in front of a table in it, talking and laughing, it was Ling Xiao, Hong Yuxi, Hong Hu, and Ergou who had just left Tianshuang City.

"Young Master, fifty miles further is the periphery of the Xuan Beast Mountain Range, we had better not continue to fly in the sky, otherwise we will attract many powerful flying demon beasts to besiege us. ”

Hong Yuxi looked at the surrounding environment, looked at the winding mountains like a coiling dragon in front of him, and reminded in a low voice.

Ling Xiao nodded, and injected several spiritual powers into the flying boat's control array, and then the flying boat slowly descended to the ground.

When a few people walked out of the flying boat, the boat quickly shrunk, floated down to Ling Xiao's palm, and was put into a storage bag.

"Uncle Hong, you are most familiar with the periphery of the Xuan Beast Mountain Range, so you will lead the way. ”

Ling Xiao said with a smile, his attitude towards Hong Hu is very good, after all, he is also his elder.

"Xiao Ling, don't worry, although there are some dangers on the periphery of the Xuan Beast Mountain Range, I have also entered and exited safely with a few companions several times, and I have a good understanding of the situation inside, so I promise to take you out safely. ”

Ergou looked in the direction behind him, a team of more than 100 people rushed wildly, bringing up bursts of smoke and dust, and after a while, the team came to several people, and everyone looked at Ling Xiao and a few people with strange eyes.

A rugged-looking and burly man jumped down from the back of the one-horned rhinoceros, came to Ling Xiao and the four of them bowed, and said loudly.

"A few fellow Daoists, do you need to join the caravan temporarily?"

Ling Xiao and the four of them returned the salute and asked.

"I don't know where your caravan is going, but if we stop by, we can decide whether to join or not. ”

"Our caravan has come from the capital of Tobu Province and headed to the Tianxin Chamber of Commerce in Tianyue City. ”

The burly man spoke in an urn, and his answers to questions were even more direct and simple.

"That's very good, the four of us are about to go to Tianyue City, and the younger brother is here for the first time, hoping that this eldest brother can take care of one or two. ”

Ling Xiao was overjoyed when he heard the burly man's answer, if he could follow the caravan to Tianyue City, he would not only be able to hide the identities of several of them well, but also avoid encountering some unnecessary dangers in the Xuan Beast Mountain Range.

"Several Taoist friends, if they want to join the caravan temporarily and get the protection of the caravan, each of them needs to pay spirit stones as a reward. ”

Hearing this, Ergou immediately became unhappy, jumped out and pointed at the burly man is scolding.

"Mud horse, I'll just say, how can there be a good thing in the world to drop pies, it turns out that it is to make our hard-earned money, and you are shameless with the big guy. ”

Ling Xiao, Hong Yuxi, and Hong Hu all covered their eyes with their hands, ashamed to be with the second dog, this matter can be scolded in their hearts, how can they say it for others to hear, what an embarrassing thing!

"Ergou, what nonsense are you talking about, others also have to support their families, and we should give some hard money. ”

As he spoke, Ling Xiao took out hundreds of spirit stones from his black-gray storage bag and handed them to the burly man.

"This big brother, I'm really embarrassed, my brother is not sensible, please forgive me!"

The burly man was originally a little stunned, he didn't expect a stupid guy to jump out and scold, but when he saw the hundreds of spirit stones handed over by Ling Xiao, his face sank again.

"Little brother, these spirit stones you gave are only enough for one person's expenses, don't the other three need to be sheltered by a caravan?"

The faces of Ling Xiao, Hong Yuxi, and Hong Hu also changed, and the original good feelings disappeared in an instant, and the feeling was that this guy was slaughtering them as fat sheep.

People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and for the safety of several people's next trip, it is nothing to pay some spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist, here are fifteen hundred spirit stones, is it enough?"

When the burly man saw enough spirit stones, he immediately put on a smiling face and clasped his fists again.

"Brother is refreshing enough, but this matter of paying spirit stones is the rule of the caravan, it has always been like this, please forgive me, brother! I, Chen Haitao, the captain of the guard of the Tianxin Chamber of Commerce, is responsible for the safety of the transportation of goods between the capital of the Eastern Wu Kingdom and Tianyue City. ”

Ling Xiao returned the salute perfunctorily, and said in a flat tone.

"My name is Xiao Ling, this is my maid Yuxi, this is my housekeeper Hong Hu, and this is my brother Ergou!"

Although a few people were unhappy, they still returned the favor perfunctorily, and to be able to go to Tianyue City with the caravan, the safety factor was naturally much higher, although the price was a little higher, but the worries in their hearts were gradually thrown aside.

The ancient trees in the Xuanbeast Mountain Range are verdant, the green trees are shady, the strange flowers and plants are everywhere, and the little beasts are running happily among the trees, which is to see such a harmonious scene in the periphery of the Xuanbeast Mountain Range, if it is placed in the middle or deep of the Xuanbeast Mountain Range, what awaits everyone is a group of fierce Xuanbeasts and demon beasts.

When the Tianxin caravan passed, many timid demon beasts avoided one after another, and everyone walked on the tree-lined path, it was difficult to feel the temperature of the sun, and they walked for several hours, and the path was still as dark as ever.

"Captain Chen, isn't it too quiet ahead? Why don't you send two brothers over to check on the situation first?" ”

An entourage beside Chen Haitao stopped the giant rhinoceros beast, calmed his breath and listened.

Ling Xiao and Ergou jumped out of the beast cart and also carefully observed the surrounding environment, the trees here were dense, and a few spirit fruit trees could occasionally be seen, but there was no trace of insects and birds around them, which looked very strange.

It didn't take long for everyone to feel a buzzing sound in the distance, getting closer and closer to them, and it didn't take long for the environment in front of them to gradually become dark, and the dense, overwhelming four-winged pines flew towards everyone.

The four wings were pine, with a single horn on their heads, and two pairs of transparent wings on their backs, each the size of a wild cat, but the fangs at the corners of their mouths were longer than their own heads, and a large tail dragged behind them, swaying as if they were drunk with the agitation of the two pairs of wings.

"It's not good! It's a four-winged pine group, isn't this a group of first-order intermediate demon beasts that only exist in the depths of the Xuan Beast Mountain Range, why is it here?"

Chen Haitao's face was a little gloomy, looking at the number of these demon beasts, it was estimated that there were tens of thousands, even with his strength in the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, he could protect himself in a short period of time, but if it was a long time, he would be difficult to parry.

"Boss, what should we do?, shall we live and die with the caravan, or shall we escape by boat?"

Ergou looked very nervous, he had never experienced such a big battle when he grew so big, especially when he saw the four-winged pine group covering the sky and the sun, he couldn't help but stand on end, if he was allowed to fight with humans or a single demon beast, he would probably think about how to concoct the opponent in the end, it was estimated that if it wasn't braised or braised it, it might be a barbecue, but looking at so many low-level demon beasts, Ergou was very bottomless in his heart.

Ling Xiao hated that iron could not become steel, and a burst of chestnuts knocked on the forehead of the second dog, and said angrily.

"It's not a good idea!We have so many spiritual weapon-level magic weapons that are used for decorations? Aren't there just tens of thousands of little demon beasts?

Ergou scratched his head embarrassedly, only to think that he was wearing such a good treasure as the golden scale armor, and suddenly became amazing, and the fighting spirit was awe-inspiring, and the sudden change of Ergou made many people in the caravan cast strange eyes.

The overwhelming four-winged pine attacked the caravan, first dense sharp hairs shot at everyone, those hairs were as thin as steel needles, but they were extremely sharp, but these three rounds of hair attacks, the protective shield held up by the caravan, was beaten a lot darker.

The fourth round of attacks of the four-winged pine was their sharp claws, which all fell on the protective light shield formed by the caravan members, and immediately shattered the shield held up by the defensive formation.

Hundreds of four-winged pines attacked each of them separately, and even the giant rhinoceros that transported the goods was not spared, and was instantly gnawed into white bones, and in just a short time, the entire caravan became precarious, and less than half of the members were still alive.

The location of the four people in the caravan is an outlier, that is, the place where Ling Xiao, Hong Yuxi, Hong Hu, and Ergou are.

Each of them had several high-level spiritual weapon-level magic weapons, and there was no shortage of defensive armor among them, even if they stood there, those dense four-winged pines would be difficult to do with them.

Although most of the spiritual weapon-level magic weapons were robbed by them from Wanbaolou, as long as they were magic weapons, they would consume spiritual power when they were used, and the higher the level of the magic weapon, the greater the consumption of spiritual power.

"Hehe, boss, these magic weapons are no worse than turtle shells!"

As the two dogs spoke, the third-order spirit weapon-level big ring golden knife in his hand was still slashing, and the four-winged pine trees were split in two by the two dogs.

"Ergou, you fool! The two most valuable pairs of transparent wings on the four-winged pine have been scrapped by you, can you be gentle. ”

Ling Xiao was so angry, Ergou didn't even understand the basic refining materials, and dozens of spirit stones were wasted by him in the blink of an eye, and he had to teach him by word and deed.

"Don't look at Ben Shao with your innocent eyes, I usually let you look at the overview of refining materials, and you will know that you are asleep, and now you don't even know how to cherish the ready-made spirit stones in front of you. ”

As soon as Ergou looked at Ling Xiao with innocent eyes, he was counted out, so he could only vent his anger on the dense four-winged pine.

Hong Yu regretted that the four of them fought the monster easily, but the members of the Tianxin caravan suffered a lot, and now they have lost more than fifty people, and most of the members of the caravan have been torn apart and swallowed by the four-winged pine, and in another hour or two, it will become the legendary pine poop. If it continues like this, the Tianxin Caravan will definitely be wiped out.

"Brother Xiao, I hope you can help, I will be grateful when I return to Tianyue City." ”

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Chen Haitao hurriedly opened his mouth to ask Ling Xiao and a few people for help, just kidding! A small life is worth more than face, if the caravan is completely wiped out, and even the goods are lost, he will not be able to explain to the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Brother Chen, it's not that my brothers don't help you, we are also mud bodhisattvas now, and it is difficult to protect ourselves when we cross the river!"

Ling Xiao was very worried about Chen Haitao's cruel slaughter of them, although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was still very unhappy in his heart, and he naturally had to let him vomit it if he ate it.

Chen Haitao was slandered in his heart, looking at the four of them up and down, not dripping with blood, where did it seem that it was difficult to protect himself.

"Brother Xiao, this is the two thousand lower grade spirit stones we have collected, and there are also two thousand lower grade spirit stones as a reward, I hope Brother Ling can help!"

Chen Haitao danced with the long knife in his hand, repelling another round of attacks from more than a dozen four-winged pines, and hurriedly moved closer to the direction of Ling Xiao and a few people, the cultivators in the middle of the spiritual sea were a lot higher than Ling Xiao in terms of physical fitness and force value, but he was difficult to support alone, and the equipment was not very good, it was impossible for one person to deal with a group of demon beasts, so the more he fought, the more weak he became, and the more he fought, the more chilling he became.

At this moment, a four-winged pine with a golden body twisted its little butt towards Ling Xiao's position, and a yellow mist quickly rushed towards Ling Xiao's four people, and before they could react, the yellow mist had already enveloped them.

"Young master, it's not good! This is the four-winged pine's natural skill 'Swinging Breath', which can make people hallucinate, and unconsciously poison and dizzy, hurry up and hold your breath. ”

As soon as Hong Yuxi's anxious voice reached Ling Xiao and Ergou's ears, Ling Xiao only felt that he was thrown to the ground by a soft delicate body. The second dog, who was originally scolding and scolding, accidentally inhaled a mouthful of yellow mist, and suddenly vomited, almost vomiting out the bitter bile water.

And the whole body of the second dog is also stained with a disgusting stench.

"Oh the hell, look at Lao Tzu and don't split it!"

Ergou rolled a lazy donkey and stood up, waved the big ring golden knife in his hand, and a long knife qi slashed towards the golden four-winged pine.

But the leader of the cangsong was not a vegetarian, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he directly retreated to the cangsong group, but where the sword qi passed, eight or nine four-winged cangpine suddenly fell into bad luck, and they were split into more than a dozen pieces in an instant, and the broken limbs fell to the ground with a bang.

"Brother Xiao, our caravan personnel have suffered heavy losses, I hope you can help, and Chen will be grateful in the future. ”

Chen Haitao saw that Ling Xiao and the four of them were also struggling to kill the four-winged pine, and all of them seemed calm and calm, and the clouds were light and light, and a glimmer of hope naturally rose in his heart.
