Chapter Twenty-Five: Trapped
After another five days of rushing through Dusk Feather City and entering Tianyuan City. Tian Yuan City, famous for its proximity to the Confused Mountain Range, where most of the warriors made a living by hunting fierce beasts in the mountain range and collecting medicinal herbs, and also attracted many warriors and warlocks from other cities to come and explore. As a result of long-term hunting, the edges of the mountains have become plains.
The Lost Mountains stretch across the western part of the continent, and legend has it that if you cross them, you will reach the Western Elysium, a carefree world. Adventurers have always been at most a hundred miles deep and not allowed to enter, and they are full of high-level demon beasts.
The sky is full of dark clouds, black clouds are overwhelming, and there is a roar and thunder from time to time, and bursts of white light are lit up between the clouds, as if they are feeding terrifying energy.
The convoy is doing its best to speed on the forest path, when entering the Tianyuan Earth Boundary, the convoy is faced with two forward route options, one is to continue along the avenue, bypass the Confused Mountains, enter Tianyuan City to replenish, and then turn into the capital of Wuwei, and the other is to take the path through the confused forest in the edge area in front of you, straight to the capital of Wuwei, so that not only can you save supplies, but also can enter the capital of Wuwei five days in advance, and the Zhong family after receiving Yuzhu's report, it is even more sent a large number of people to meet at the border.
"Boom!" Dozens of golden electric snakes sprang out of the clouds, illuminating the whole world, and the dark forest reflected a long tree shadow, gusts of cold wind blowing, swaying from side to side, Buddha like a hideous figure, terrifying.
There was another thunderclap, and the rain poured down, and there was a curtain of water between the heavens and the earth, leaving only a white expanse. The convoy had stopped, everyone took refuge in the carriages to take shelter from the rain, the drivers were busy pacifying the horses, and only a few knights stood guard in the rain in their robes.
In the pink carriage, the wall of the carriage is hung with exquisite curtains embroidered with gold and silver threads, and all kinds of toiletries are placed on the mahogany dressing table in the corner, which has been arranged into a beautiful room, but Mu Yun, Jin Xiaotian, and Director Hui are already sitting in it.
"I really don't know if this decision is right or wrong!" Yuzhu sighed worriedly as he looked out the window at the pouring rain.
"Miss, don't worry, don't you like rainy days very much, the head of the family has also sent a large number of people to respond, as long as we cross this forest and enter the capital of Wuwei, we will be safe." Xiao Cui hurriedly pulled Yuzhu's slender hand and comforted her.
"Miss Zhong, this trip is so urgent, plus the matter of Duyang Town, is there another hidden situation, and I have also seen the goods transported, most of them are daily things" Jin Xiaotian looked at Yuzhu suspiciously, but there was not much politeness in his words.
Before Yuzhu could come back from his thoughts, Xiao Cui scolded loudly.
"We spent a lot of money to ask you to escort the Jin Gewu Pavilion, but now you are starting to question us? Don't you even have the most basic escort common sense?"
"The danger of this transportation is rare in my life, even if I don't think about myself, I must be worthy of my brothers, I must not let them die in vain, at least let us know who the enemy is, so that we can face it calmly. Jin Xiaotian ignored Xiao Cui, looked at Zhong Yuzhu firmly and said sonorously.
For a while, the carriage fell silent, except for the sound of Director Hui teaing.
"Well, it must be our fault to do so, and because of the importance of the matter, it must not be convenient to disclose, and as compensation, you will be rewarded twice as much for this trip. And even if we take the avenue to detour, does the Golden Pavilion Master think that they won't make another move?" Zhong Yuzhu said faintly, his eyes full of apologies.
Jin Xiaotian didn't answer, but glanced at Yuzhu deeply, opened the curtain and walked out silently.
Looking at the rain curtain outside the door, Mu Yun stretched out his right hand and inserted it into it, the rain washed down, splashing a large splash, in addition to the cold accident, he could also feel the slightest mana fluctuation, Mu Yun frowned deeply.
The torrential rain fell for an hour before it stopped, the clouds cleared and the rain dispersed, a dazzling rainbow across the sky, washed the new forest, and there was a fresh feeling, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and swept away the foggy mood of everyone just now. The convoy set off again, galloping along the forest path, and from time to time the cheerful cheers of the drivers could be heard.
An hour later, the convoy stopped, but soon restarted, and half an hour later, the convoy came to a complete halt.
Mu Yun and the others were gathered in front of an ancient tree on the side of the road, and a brand-new cross mark was carved on the thick tree pole.
"I engraved this mark an hour ago, and now we meet again!" Jin Xiaotian said solemnly.
The smiling scholar rose from the ground and flew forward a mile, followed by a blur, a ripple flashed next to him, and the smiling scholar walked out, but it turned back in reverse. I changed directions a few more times, and the result was the same. The smiling scholar folded the fan, left and right, and a tornado blasted out, passing through the vague place just now, and uprooting a big tree not far away, and it was broken into several pieces in the air.
After changing several attack methods one after another, they all fell into the sea, and the formation did not have any effect, so they had no choice but to fall back into the crowd.
"We are trapped in a huge formation, we do not feel a strong energy response, this formation should only have the effect of trapping people, but not the means of attacking. The smiling scholar said with a gloomy face, and anyone who fell into such a desperate battle unconsciously would not be able to laugh.
"Although I don't know much about the way of formation, if there is such a big array in front of me, I will never feel it, and I will break in stupidly!" Jin Xiaotian felt around for a moment, and many doubts surfaced one by one, and the smiling scholar also nodded.
"What if the enemy had arranged a half-finished large array right under our noses, so that we would be directly in the array!" Mu Yun's voice sounded, reminding everyone.
"There is really something wrong with that heavy rain! With such careful planning, coupled with the rain control technique, and the cultivation of the formation, our enemy is really not simple!" Jin Xiaotian looked at the disciples who were constantly busy in front of him, took out the big knife on his back and swung it a few times, and even looked at Zhong Yuzhu a few times intentionally or unintentionally.
"Since this formation is only for trapping the enemy, then we just need to raise the elite animals, wait for work, and wait for the enemy to arrive. If the enemy does not attack within half an hour, it will be in the second half of the night, when dawn will begin, to launch a sneak attack. Director Hui arranged some subordinates to patrol with the knights, so that more knights could rest, and the master of the Golden Pavilion arranged some clever knights to patrol tonight, and set up a horse rejection fence outside the camp, and the smiling scholar always paid attention to the situation outside the formation......"
One order after another, the previous weak woman has become a female general, the dispatch is orderly, and the entire convoy is busy again.
The night breeze is blowing, the full moon is in the sky, the stars are shining, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled down, illuminating the entire forest in front of you. The convoy fell silent, but most of them were just pretending to sleep for the fierce battle that was about to take place, and this waiting was the most painful of all.
There was a rustling sound, accompanied by a slight whooshing sound.
A huge figure appeared, and the red dots of two basins lit up, and the glittering blood-red light stared at everyone in the formation like a god of death.
