Chapter 0102: The Road Is Uneven
In the early morning of the next day, without alarming any of the clansmen, the group quietly stepped out of the family's protective barrier, and then climbed through the small hole and entered the huge hunting mountain range.
Breathing in the fresh air in the mountains, He Xiao couldn't help but feel good, and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's been more than a year, and we can finally laugh together in the rivers and lakes!"
He Shang glanced at him and said, "You used to be the king of the mountain range hunting, and you are very familiar with this mountain range, so you should lead the way, the first destination --- Echeng." ”
"Okay!"
He Xiao readily agreed, and then rushed to the front of the team, and the group shot quickly in the direction of due north, He Shang refused Bai Ruoyun to carry him with him, and relied on himself to move forward.
Because He Shang's cultivation was still shallow, the speed of the journey was very slow, Bai Ruoyun had to slowly flap his wings and move forward, and when it was close to noon, the group rushed to the official road.
Because the "Poor Strange Wings" were too eye-catching to be exposed in public, Bai Ruoyun withdrew the spiritual power of the wings, and then landed beside He Shang.
He Xiao, who was leading the way in front, turned around and saw them stop, his figure flashed, and then he turned back, and wondered, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
Bai Ruoyun looked at the official road that stretched to the depths of the jungle in a daze, and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Childe, if we follow this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with Echeng before dark, and we can only spend the night in the official road or mountain range tonight!"
He Shang nodded with a wry smile, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I tried my best, but due to the current cultivation, the speed can only be like this, and I don't have any good way." ”
Bai Ruoyun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Childe, the final destination of our trip is the imperial capital, which is nearly 5,000 kilometers away, and at this speed, we will have to spend at least a month, it seems that we have to think of a way to solve this practical problem." ”
While the two were talking, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from a distance.
I saw two iron-blooded horses galloping in the direction where they were standing, and behind them, a cloud of dust was splashed in the sky.
In an instant, two iron-blooded horses were close in front of him, and the big man on the back of the horse running in front of him was about to bump into them, and hurriedly shouted: Hurry up and get out of the way, danger!"
The shouts fell, the big man tightened the reins, and the iron-blooded reckless horse that stepped down had been galloping for hundreds of kilometers in a row, and he was already exhausted, and was tightly strangled by the reins, and suddenly his front legs were weak, and he fell to his knees, let out a wail, convulsed a few times, and fell to the ground foaming at the mouth and died.
The man on horseback lost his center of gravity and rolled off the horse at once.
The body rolled over and over, naturally touching the long arrow stuck in his vest, and blood surged out from his arrow, staining a cloud of dust in the official road.
The man who followed him quickly reined in his horse, and stopped it dangerously.
Straddled on the back of the horse was a veiled young girl of about eighteen or nineteen years of age, and her dark eyes looked at the group in front of her, judging in her heart whether they were friends or foes.
After a moment, she blinked her eyes and said, "There is a group of horse thieves coming from behind, if you want to live, this father-in-law...... This girl advises you to run for your lives. ”
After speaking, she didn't say anything more, and saw that the reckless horse of the big man had fallen to the ground and died, and shouted urgently: "Uncle Hu, hurry up and get on the horse, as long as we arrive in Xiangfu City, we will be safe!"
The man frowned and shook his head, only to see the dust flying a mile behind him, and it was estimated that the horse thieves of the brigade were about to chase after him, shook his head, and urged: "Ling'er, Uncle Hu has been seriously injured and can't stand the toss anymore, you should run for your life quickly!"
The girl rode to Uncle Hu's side, and suddenly saw the long arrow on his back and the blood on his vest, and couldn't help but be shocked and almost fainted.
She exclaimed, "Uncle Hu, when did you get the arrow on your back?"
Dahan smiled bitterly and said: "Don't get in the way, there is no worry about your life for the time being, Uncle Hu will resist for you for a while, run quickly, rush to Xiangfu City, you will be safe." ”
The girl did not listen to his advice, and immediately jumped off the horse, her face full of concern and regret, and stubbornly said: "I don't agree, Uncle Hu, we want to go together." ”
Looking at the scene in front of him, He Xiao asked softly, "Do you want to help?"
Looking at the dust and mist that was getting closer and closer, Bai Ruoyun said indifferently: "I'm afraid we don't plan to make a move, and the people behind us will definitely not let us go, let's see the situation first." ”
Seeing that the horse thief was approaching quickly, and the girl still refused to leave alone, the big man was helpless, and the thought flashed in his heart, and he rushed to front of them, and knelt down.
The big man bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Please forgive Hu for being presumptuous, please help you with righteousness, protect Ling'er, and deliver it safely to Xiangfu City, and the City Lord's Mansion will have a generous gift." ”
The girl strode over, bent down to help him up, but after all her strength, she still couldn't do it, so she had to say with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Hu, don't do this!"
For the man in front of him, he would rather turn his own horse on his back than hurt innocent lives, so He Shang still has a good impression of him.
He Shang sighed lightly, strode forward, helped him up without saying anything, and asked, "Strongman, which side of the chasing army belongs to?
Dahan arched his hand and said: "This group of people belongs to the bandits of Fuhu Cottage, and the leader this time is Qu Yunlan, the second master, and his cultivation is at the seventh-grade level of the Wuqian Realm. ”
Hearing this, He Xiao interjected on the side: "Fuhu Mountain of the Hunting Mountain Range?"
Dahan hurriedly responded: "Yes!"
He Xiao pondered for a moment, his face sank, and said: "Within a hundred miles of the hunting mountain range, I know very well, and there are no bandits and bandits at all?"
Seeing the other party's questioning, Dahan explained: "Do you know, more than a year ago, the young master of the Demon Temple died in the hunting festival of Xiangfu City, and his father, that is, the hall master of this Demon Palace, was furious and sent men and horses to slaughter most of the forces and people in Xiangfu City......"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned, more than a year ago, the mysterious force that brought disaster to Xiangfu City was the organization called the "Demon Palace" in his mouth?
As soon as he came out of the Valley of Dreams, there was information about that mysterious organization, He Shang was overjoyed, and immediately interrupted him and asked, "What kind of organization is it?"
Dahan groaned slightly, and said with palpitations: "The Demon Palace, is an extremely terrifying organization on the Creation Continent, there are secret branch halls in the major empires, its whereabouts are secretive, bloodthirsty and cruel, if you don't make a move, once you make a move, any thing you do is so earth-shattering, even the royal family of the Xuanyuan Empire is afraid of three points." ”
He Shang frowned and continued to ask, "With such a powerful and terrifying organization, why did it become interested in Xiangfu City, which is in a remote corner?"
Dahan sighed: "Then this is unknown, after a month, the Demon Palace once again raised troops to attack, composed of tens of thousands of Wuyang Realm masters to form a corps, and attacked Xiangfu City mightily, but was defeated by Li Hansheng, the seventh prince who is now in charge, and these horse thieves, who are the survivors of the Demon Palace after the war, have been plagued here for more than half a year." ”
"I see!"
He Shang thought about it, and couldn't imagine that in just a year and a half, so many big things had happened in Xiangfu City, the land of projectiles, so he felt a little fortunate about the migration of the family.
Bai Ruoyun walked to his side and said softly: "Childe, since these people originally belonged to that mysterious force, that is, the Demon Palace, then we have to make a move this time." ”
He Shang groaned slightly, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Since the highest level among this group of horse thieves is only the seventh grade of the Wuqian Realm, you can solve it, as for the others, reward them with a few 'thunder gods', it should be able to solve the problem." ”
He Xiao walked over and asked, "Big brother, do you need me to do something later?"
He Shang glanced at him and said lightly: "Watch the show!"
"Watching a play?" He Xiao touched his huge head, but he didn't guess what he meant.
Hearing this, the big man and the girl looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they didn't expect that the young man in front of him had just arranged for a girl to fight the large group of horse thieves who rode their horses alone.
While they were talking, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded, from far and near, in the rolling yellow dust, it was completely clear that the enemy's figure could be seen, and after a while, even the face could be seen clearly.
This gang of horse thieves must have numbered seventy, to say the least, and rushed in front of them with a fierce look on their faces, looking at them with a playful expression on their faces.
