Chapter 11 Interception
In a cave in a mountain range hundreds of miles away from Surman City, Sun Xiaofei sat on a bluestone, stroking a war sword in his hand, which was the one he stole from the Lisson family. There is a flame pattern on the top of the sword, which looks quite mysterious.
Sun Xiaofei looked at this war sword with soft eyes, and he could feel that there was no slightest energy fluctuation in this war sword, as if it was like a dead thing.
Sun Xiaofei knew what was going on, this war sword still needed to be activated with the family's bloodline in order to be able to exert the true power of this war sword.
Sun Xiaofei squeezed out a drop of blood from his finger and dripped it on the sword. The blood slowly penetrated into it and was absorbed by the war sword, and with a buzz, the entire war sword vibrate.
A drop of Sun Xiaofei's blood seemed to be like a primer for igniting gunpowder, and a large area of flames suddenly burst out of this war sword, and the blazing flames burned on the sword body, and Sun Xiaofei could feel the terrifying high temperature of the flames from above.
Sun Xiaofei stood up, looked at this flame sword with a solemn face, and suddenly his heart moved, he received a strong call from the Burning Sky Flame in his body, the Burning Sky Flame longed to get the power of the flame to strengthen himself, and the flame energy of this flame sword was suitable for it to devour and evolve.
Sun Xiaofei did not hesitate to release the Burning Sky Flame, he knew that this kind of alien fire derived from heaven and earth would take a long time to devour other flame evolutions. Moreover, it will take care of the two tribulations of heaven and earth before it can finally transform into a real heavenly fire.
How terrifying the power of the heavenly fire was, Sun Xiaofei had already known it. That's why he didn't hesitate to let the Burning Sky Flame devour the flames, as long as the Burning Sky Flame became stronger, this fire sword would be able to use the power of the Burning Sky Flame to exert even greater power.
Soon, all the flames outside the fire sword disappeared, and they were all swallowed by the flames of the burning sky, and gradually turned into an ordinary red long sword. However, this change did not last long. In the next moment, the Burning Sky Flame merged into the sword, and a thin layer of flame emerged from the sword. The flames seemed faint, but in fact they were terrifying, and the temperature of the entire cave suddenly rose and became extremely hot.
This high temperature is not too much of a threat to Sun Xiaofei. A layer of light curtain emerged to protect Sun Xiaofei's body, isolating the high temperature outside. Sun Xiaofei knew that this high temperature was just the breath of the Burning Sky Flame itself, and its true power had not yet been released.
"From now on, you will make this your home, and I will find other materials to help you evolve as soon as possible. Sun Xiaofei passed a wisp of divine thought into it and communicated with the Burning Sky Flame.
The current Burning Sky Flame consciousness is still in the hazy stage, and Sun Xiaofei needs to constantly communicate with it to increase the feelings between them. Doing so would also be of great benefit to the evolution of the Burning Flame.
When the consciousness of the Burning Sky Flame matures, it will be deeply branded with the imprint of Sun Xiaofei's breath of life, and from then on, he will only act in accordance with Sun Xiaofei's ideas. Even if one day in the future, the power of the Burning Sky Flame is stronger than his, and it will not be able to disobey his will. Sun Xiaofei was able to firmly grasp and control the Burning Sky Flame in the palm of his hand.
Sun Xiaofei came out of the cave, slightly discerned the direction, and a layer of dark blue light curtain appeared on his body, and under a roll, it turned into a rainbow and flew away into the distance.
In the middle of the forest, a mountain road crosses and stretches to a distant city. The road runs through the boundary between the two cities, and the middle part of the road involves crossing a dense forest, which is a notoriously dangerous zone, where a large number of robbers and bandits are often gathered, robbing and killing, and plundering passing pedestrians and caravans.
The Solaguyan Empire also sent troops to clean up and suppress these bandits. However, because of the special geographical environment, full of barren forests and deep mountains, and many caves, it is easy for robbers to hide.
The robbers were very clever and cunning, and when they saw the Imperial army coming, they would hide and start to move again when the army left. If this goes on again and again, apart from eliminating some weak bandit forces, those powerful bandit forces cannot be cleaned up at all. The Solaguyan Empire could not completely eliminate the bandits here, so they could only send troops to guard the main roads in and out of the forest to prevent these bandits from rushing out and plundering the nearby cities.
Since some cities need to pass through that road for trade, the people and caravans who walk that area have to look for a powerful mercenary group in the city to escort them, or pay a large toll through an intermediary who has a relationship with the robbers, so that they can pass through the forest smoothly.
There are many bandit forces entrenched in that area, and three of them are the most powerful, namely Fangs, Blood Skeletons, and One-Eye. As long as you get the approval of these three bandit forces, there will be no problem passing through there. The leader of these three bandit forces, the War Emperor Master, has many elite soldiers and strong generals, and no bandit force dares to oppose them.
A group of centaurs appeared on the road at the end of the woods, and this group of centaurs numbered about a hundred people, all with solemn expressions, holding weapons in their hands, and observing the movements around them vigilantly. The team was not walking very fast, and there were several wagons inside, and some elite men were in charge of guarding the trucks, looking a little unusually cautious.
The wagon was covered with a black cloth, and it looked bulging, and the wheels were driving over the gravel road, leaving a deep dent, and a discerning person could tell that the truck was full of goods.
"Brother Mulong, there won't be any problems on this trip, right?"
There were more than two dozen mounts at the front of the procession, and one of them, a round-faced young man, asked a middle-aged man with a wide body. If Sun Xiaofei was here at this time, he would be able to recognize this round-faced young man as his childhood playmate Keeley.
"Master Keeley, you can rest assured. With our brothers out on the horse, there is something that can't be done. "The strong man who spoke was Mu Long, the leader of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Regiment.
The Dragon's Tooth Mercenary Regiment is a mercenary group in Gris City, and its leader, Mu Long, is a strong man who often operates in nearby cities, and the surrounding cities have a lot of fame.
Next to Mu Long, there was a sturdy purple-faced man, carrying a huge war knife, the muscles of his body were high and bulging, full of explosive power, and his exposed skin was bronze, a standard muscular man. This person's name is Lei Lie, he is as strong as his name is, he is as strong as fire, and he cultivates fire attribute exercises. He is Mu Long's sworn brother and the deputy head of the Dragon's Tooth Mercenary Regiment.
Lei Lie laughed and said, "If something happens this time, Lao Tzu will have to pinch Loki's kid's eggs." ”
The Loki that Lei Lie said was the middleman arranged by the three bandit gangs in each city. Before Mu Long and the others set off, they had already spent a lot of money to let the latter convey the news to the three bandit leaders, and they should not be in much danger when they rushed this trip.
When Keely heard Lei Lie's words, he couldn't help but nod. He also knows Loki's number one, who specializes in delivering news to large caravans in various cities and earning high fees.
Everyone walked forward, pretending to laugh and talk lightly all the way, but secretly no one dared to take it lightly. Everyone knows how ferocious and cunning the robbers here are, so it is natural to cheer up the spirits.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the road ahead, and several thick giant trees rolled down on both sides, blocking their way at once, and a burst of dust and ash flew, which frightened the mounts in front of the team, and Mu Long and the others changed their faces, and they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
"Everyone, be careful, cover up. Mu Long ordered loudly.
The people of the Dragon's Tooth Mercenary Regiment were well-trained, and as soon as they heard his words, they immediately prepared for defense, took out all kinds of weapons, and waited for the battle to happen at any time.
A large group of robbers rushed out of the woods on both sides of the road and surrounded the convoy of Mu Long and others. Some robbers smirked and brandished their weapons, rushed in front of them and retreated, making all kinds of strange laughs and low roars to intimidate them, the robbers' eyes were cruel and evil looking at the truck, and the greed in their eyes was undisguised.
Mu Long saw a skeleton pattern on the arms of these bandits, and immediately understood that these bandits belonged to that force, the Blood Skull Bandits.
"What do you want to do? We have already paid the toll according to the regulations, do you want to break the contract yourself?" Mu Long looked at the man in front of him and asked in a calm tone.
"Hey...... Mu Long, you don't use this to trick me, Lao Tzu doesn't eat your set. Less nonsense, this trip, we have to take half of the goods, otherwise, hum...... You should know how to do it. The man sneered a few times, looked at Mu Long with cold eyes, and said.
"Kremer, why do you want to take half of it? Others are afraid of you, but I, Muron, am not afraid of you, don't think that because you have too many people, you can do anything wrong. If the master of Wei Da knew that you were doing this, would you be able to bear the consequences?" Mu Long said angrily when he heard this.
"Hmph, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Catch it! Give Lao Tzu a good look, you think that what you have done can be hidden from us, it's ridiculous. Kremmer, the leader of the Blood Skeletons, suddenly threw something over and sneered.
Mu Long stretched out his hand to catch it, and his face turned pale, what Kremer threw over was actually a bloody human head, this person Mu Long knew, it was one of his subordinates who he secretly sent. Like those who do their business, there is a clear dart and a secret protection. On the surface, their team protected the delivery of goods to another city, but secretly Mu Long had handed over important goods to his trusted right-hand man, and quietly rushed to reach his destination through other means. Unexpectedly, this person would be discovered by Kremer's people halfway, which attracted Kremer's attention.
"How dare you kill my people! Crimer is too deceitful. Lei Lie, you lead everyone to protect Young Master Killy and the goods, and the others are ready to fight, fight with them. Mu Long's face turned blue and ordered in a deep voice.
"The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, Lao Tzu is waiting for your words, brothers, kill Lao Tzu, give them some color and let them see. Seeing this, Kremer waved his hand and ordered his murderous robbers to attack Mu Long and others.
The robbers let out a low roar with a sinister smile, and rushed towards Mu Long and the others. Kremmer's figure moved, flying towards Mu Long, in his eyes, only Mu Long made him pay some attention, and everything here was his.
