Chapter 11: The Raging Demon Beast
A few days later, father and son boarded a convoy of land camels heading to Luohe City.
This kind of fleet is somewhat similar to the buses in the previous life, with low prices and many stops, which is the best choice for civilians to travel.
The land camel is a large and docile monster beast, which looks like a huge four-legged ostrich, and the two land camels pull a caravan that can accommodate about twenty people.
The convoy consisted of four camel wagons, accompanied by a dozen cavalry guards. These guards are all mercenaries who work with car dealers all year round, and escorting the convoy of land ostrich is the main source of income for some third- and fourth-rate mercenary groups.
Speaking of mercenaries, we have to talk about its founder.
Legend has it that in the era of the Cangyao Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, there was a young genius of the ancient family who was unwilling to compromise with his family, so he broke away from the family and created his own line.
The strength of the ancient clan is strong, and the family rules are not to be played with, and this mercenary ancestor can violate the rules of the clan and do some business, which shows that he is powerful! There is only one person who violates the family rules of the ancient clan and succeeds in history.
After that, the young prodigy and a few friends set up their own doors, but they did not want to be dependent on others, so they set the rules to do one thing, get a reward, have nothing to do with their employers, and call themselves mercenaries.
To this day, the name of the 'mercenary group' sounds very hanging, but in fact, it is just a group of wage earners, some martial arts spirit masters, and even ordinary people, do not want to rely on others or have nowhere to go, so they choose to be mercenaries.
They are like street coolies in the previous life, whoever has a household for them will call them to come and work, and take the money and leave after the work. Of course, high-end mercenary groups exist, they are superior in strength, and they can even participate in national-level events, and the commissions are naturally high. But this kind of mercenary group is rare, and more ordinary mercenaries are doing ordinary work such as escorting convoys, escorting goods, helping people find materials, and so on.
And escorting the convoy of land ostrich is already good business for ordinary mercenaries. Although the fleet is inexpensive and the environment is poor, the safety is guaranteed.
There are two reasons: First, 99 percent of the people who ride in this kind of car are poor ghosts, and they have nothing to do with oil and water, so bandits and robbers will stay away from them. The second is that ordinary demon beasts rarely get close to such hordes of humans, so there is little harassment.
It takes about half a day to get on the bus from Qingyuan Town to Luohe City. Mo Xuan sat in the car, his brows furrowing. It's not that there is any bad premonition, but the environment in the car really can't stand it!
The wheels of the caravan are actually pure wood, and there is no shock-absorbing rim such as rubber. The road surface is basically dirt roads, potholes, rugged, and the sour bumpy feeling when walking is really unacceptable to Mo Xuan, a "modern person". I didn't even dare to open my mouth along the way, for fear of biting my tongue!
Besides, this car is said to be a caravan, but there are no scraps of cloth left on the canopy overhead! When it floats in the wind, it is as desolate as a battle flag baptized by artillery fire.
In October, the fire was flowing, the sun was shining in the sky, and those few pieces of scraps of cloth could not provide the need for shade at all, and Mo Xuan felt like he was about to be roasted when he was sunburned! Seeing his complexion darken, he was really a little distressed! After more than two hours in the car, he turned his head to look at his father, and he was already snoring. Mo Xuan was angry and funny, and said in his heart: This can also be asleep!!!!
While Mo Xuan was thinking wildly, there were suddenly a few wolf howls of "Whoa~Whoa~". Then, more than a dozen dark phosphorus wolves sprang out of the jungle on both sides of the road.
The Dark Phosphowolf is a low-level demon beast, and generally a martial artist can deal with two or three. So the guards were not afraid at all when they saw the wolves, but chatted easily.
"Head, what's going on with these wolf cubs?"
"Whatever, although the dark phosphorus wolf is only a little useful for the beast pill, if you sell it, you can also drink a glass of wine. Brothers, come on!"
The leading guard, with his legs between the two-horned horse under his crotch, rushed straight over. The spear in his hand drew an arc, and the dark phosphorus wolf that pounced on him was instantly disemboweled, and the head of the spear was raised, throwing it aside.
To be reasonable, this dark phosphorous wolf was so badly injured that it should have been lying on the ground and waiting to die. But it flickered to its feet and continued to crawl towards the convoy. It's a pity that the injury was too serious, and the internal organs had been spilled all over the ground, and after just two steps, he fell to the ground again, and he couldn't get up.
The guards didn't notice this, though, as they were dead after all. Mo Xuan frowned, because this was not a normal reaction of a creature, but something like a dead man?
But if you think about it, it's unlikely. It takes more than ten years to train a person to become a dead soldier, let alone a beast that acts on instinct?
While Mo Xuan was frowning and thinking, a dark phosphorus wolf whose forelimbs had been broken by the guards lay on the ground, and the guards ignored it, but after a few seconds, this dark phosphorus wolf actually ran, limped to the front of the car, and pounced on the carriage with all his strength!
When the guards turned around, they thought to themselves.
The car is basically an ordinary person, not to mention being bitten to death by this stupid wolf, and it is very troublesome to get a few wounded.
Usually, if there is such a passenger injury, the mercenaries will solve it privately, and if it gets into the car dealership, the car dealer will compensate the passengers according to the rules and regulations. However, the car dealer will re-evaluate whether the mercenary group is still qualified to serve as a guard, and to put it bluntly, it is the rhythm of expulsion.
As we said earlier, the mercenary group escorting the convoy is actually just a group of wage earners, and although the income of the escort convoy is not high, it is more expensive. Therefore, in the event of an accident, the mercenaries will settle it privately with the passengers, and give the car dealer twice the amount of the claim stipulated by the car dealer to deal with it.
What's more, I'm afraid I will have to add a hush money today, if I let my peers know that the convoy was raided by a few dark phosphorwolves, it will actually cause losses! I'm afraid they will be ridiculed for the rest of their lives, and they will not be far from disbanding! Because this kind of thing will become a joke in the whole mercenary world, and no one will do business with them in the future.
So when the mercenary captain saw a dark phosphorous wolf rushing towards the car, his heart sank: I'm afraid that this time I'm going to bleed heavily, who will be bitten, there are not a few hundred Baileys, I'm afraid I won't be able to get down. This half a month is in vain!
At this moment, Mo Xuan, who had already noticed that these wolf cubs were out of phase, exerted force on his legs, jumped up directly from the chair, and kicked the dark phosphorus wolf's head with a flying foot!
The miserable wolf, before he could pounce on the carriage, was kicked back in mid-air.
"Wow~~" was lying on the ground, and the guards next to him hurriedly rushed over to make up for several shots, eager to poke it into a sieve!
After that, the guards were much more cautious, not giving them a chance to approach the carriage. Ten minutes later, all the dark phosphorwolves fell to the ground, and the guards let out a sigh of relief.
The leader rode his horse to Mo Xuan and said, "Thanks to the little brother, otherwise there would be really trouble." How about you share half of these dark phosphorwolf beast pills?"
Mo Xuan was not polite, and said with a smile: "Then thank you to the head of the regiment, you deserve it." ”
The head of the regiment was also a cheerful person, laughed a few times and said, "This is what you deserve, if you are ashamed, just take it." ”
While this person was talking to Mo Xuan, a guard ran up to him with a strange face and said, "There seems to be something wrong with this wild pill standing in the group."
