Chapter 20: Danger in the Fog

The day soon came, and the caravan set foot on the road again, and Lu Shuiyan stayed alone in the carriage and became a key object of protection.

Ye Tianxun was arranged to walk next to the carriage where Lu Shuiyan was, this position was very safe, which meant that he also belonged to the category of being protected.

Ye Tianxun's original intention was to practice, but he didn't expect that he was so afraid of death. He immediately understood that the battle of life and death with the fierce beast was far less violent than the spiritual impact brought by the battle between cultivators.

On this day, everyone raised their spirits to prevent another attack, but the whole day was spent peacefully.

At night, the people alternated vigils, and it was another peaceful night. Day 2 and Day 3...... It was still smooth sailing, as if the enemy was not going to attack.

The eighth day is the ninth day of entering the Hengduan Mountains. The entire Hengduan Mountain Range was filled with a thick fog, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, this environment was very similar to the Phantom Cloud Array of the Drifting Cloud Sect.

The field of vision ahead was only more than ten meters, and the caravan's forward speed had to slow down again, and the distance between the advance team and the main team was also forced to shrink to within two hundred meters.

Dozens of miles away, the Scar Man and his party had already assembled. Looking at the white mountains and forests, a smile appeared on the corner of the scar man's mouth: "The expectation is good, there is really fog today." ”

Then, the man with the scar looked at everyone with a solemn expression, "There is only one chance, only success, not failure!"

"Yes. Everyone replied in unison, pulling on the black scarf that hung around their necks.

The caravan slowly advanced along the mountain road, and the presence of the dense fog made them even more worried that the enemy would take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack. Jing Chao always carefully perceived the movements around him, and as the only cultivator in the team, he was extremely sensitive to the environment. However, his perception is actually far less than that of Ye Tianxun.

The existence of the dense fog had almost no effect on Ye Tianxun, and he could clearly perceive some subtle movements in the vicinity, so compared to before, his current state was the most relaxed in the whole team.

Suddenly, Ye Tianxun suddenly noticed that there were dozens of cultivator auras in the west who were rapidly approaching here.

"The enemy is coming!" Ye Tianxun immediately shouted.

"Huh?" The people nearby all looked at Ye Tianxun suspiciously, but they didn't notice anything.

"What is the Calamity Star called? Jing Chao didn't even speak. ”

"I think he was overly nervous, and I seemed to be so frightened that I couldn't even stand on my feet when the enemy came that night. ”

The people of the Drifting Cloud Sect muttered to each other, but suddenly heard Jing Chao's order: "The whole team is on alert." ”

"Is there really an enemy coming?" everyone was shocked, but they quickly formed a battle formation.

The people of the Lu family surrounded Lu Shuiyan's carriage, and at this time, a guard attached his ear to the side of the man surnamed Liu and whispered a few words.

"Makes sense. The man surnamed Liu nodded, and then said, "Everyone scattered, gathering together will only reveal the position of the young lady, and a few of you will stay by the side of the other carriages with me to confuse the enemy's sight." ”

The man surnamed Liu quickly dispersed, leaving only two guards to guard aside, of course, in addition, there was another person who was Ye Tianxun.

"Why are all the people gone?" Lu Shuiyan leaned out of the window of the car and said to the two guards in a slight panic, she heard the enemy coming from the carriage.

"Miss, that's right. A guard stepped forward, "Lu Yi suggested just now, everyone getting together will only expose your location, and spreading out can ......"

Burst!

A cold knife pierced directly through this person's heart, and the tip of the blood-stained knife suddenly stopped an inch in front of Lu Shuiyan's beautiful eyes.

The corner of the guard's mouth was surging with blood, and he turned his head blankly to see Lu Yi who was sneering. Poof, the sword was drawn, and the guard immediately fell to the ground and died.

Lu Shuiyan looked at Lu Yi in horror, her brain almost stopped thinking.

"Miss, I'm sorry. Lu Yi sneered, and a cold light slashed towards Lu Shuiyan's neck.

Clang!

A string of sparks stirred, and the castrated fierce war knife was knocked back to one side, and a figure was also horizontal in front of Lu Yi, it was Ye Tianxun.

At this time, Ye Tianxun was short of breath, and although he was holding the sword tightly with both hands, he had a trembling feeling. "Don't be afraid, can't!" Ye Tianxun roared inwardly, his expression slightly distorted.

"Steward Liu, Lu Yi is a spy. At this moment, Lu Shuiyan suddenly came back to her senses and immediately shouted loudly.

"Lu Yi!" A group of people from the Lu family heard the voice and immediately rushed to this side. Lu Yi's face was ugly, and he stared coldly at Ye Tianxun who was blocking in front of him, and then suddenly took two steps sideways and slashed at the back of the black dragon horse.

The black dragon horse neighed in pain, and subconsciously pulled the carriage and ran wildly, disappearing into the dense fog in a blink of an eye. At the same time, Lu Yi fled in the other direction.

"Miss!" The people of the Lu family were in a hurry, Lu Shuiyan was in the carriage, and under the galloping of the black dragon horse, her situation was very dangerous.

"Haha, yes, my Wang family will not treat you badly. A hearty laugh came from the mist, and then dozens of blurred black figures emerged from the mist.

The man with the scar crossed his broadsword and said coldly: "Send two people to chase the carriage, and the rest will follow me to stop them." ”

Whoosh ...... Figures in black rushed towards the caravan, stopping them from trying to chase the carriage.

"What about the night sky?" Jing Chao shouted, looking around at the same time, but he didn't get half a response. At this time, he suddenly remembered that Tianxun had been staying next to the carriage before, and suddenly realized something.

Jing Chao's sword pointed forward, and one by one it was sharp like a tornado, dispersing the surrounding fog, "Attention of the whole team, the first task now is to ensure the safety of Ye Tianxun and open a way for me." As soon as the words fell, Jing Chao turned into a streamer and swept away in the direction where the carriage disappeared.

Boom, a majestic sword qi tore through the air and swept towards Jing Chao, and everywhere he went, the mist became a huge whirlpool.

"The upper cultivator of the Drifting Cloud Sect, don't be in a hurry to leave. The scarred man laughed, and he was in front of Jing Chao.

Jing Chao's expression was cold, and as soon as he slashed his sword, the brilliant sword qi was shattered, and the broken strong wind shot out in all directions, and many tree trunks were pierced.

At the same time, the slashed black dragon horse was pulling the carriage and running aimlessly, with the "click" of the horse's hooves and the "clang" of the wheels one after another.

The speed of the black dragon horse is extremely fast, and the carriage is almost falling apart. Lu Shuiyan wanted to hold on to the reins but couldn't stabilize her body at all, so she fell into the carriage many times, and finally panicked and didn't know what to do.

Behind, Ye Tianxun's figure had been following the carriage not far away. At this time, his hair had been dyed white by the mist, and his two white eyebrows were frowning together, "The fog is too big, and it is inconvenient to advance in the mountains and forests, so it is difficult to catch up." ”

Although Ye Tianxun's perception is amazing, and his ultimate speed far exceeds that of the Black Dragon Horse, in the terrain and dense fog environment of the mountains and forests, he can only guarantee that he will not lose the carriage. You must know that fierce beasts are born with a certain judgment of the terrain of mountains and forests, especially the black dragon horse who is good at hurrying.

"Fight for it. Ye Tianxun gritted his teeth, his mind was concentrated to the extreme, at this moment, his perception of the surroundings instantly became much clearer, and even the trees in front of him vaguely came to mind.

Ye Tianxun's legs shook, the ground was trampled out of the deep pit, his whole person was like a spring off the ground, and the speed soared directly to the limit, reaching a breath of fifty meters.

Whirring, a strong foggy wind filled Ye Tianxun's ears, and the giant trees seemed to be lined up in a white corridor in his sight, and his figure shuttled quickly between the giant trees, and he almost collided directly many times.

"Caught up. Seeing the carriage in front of him, Ye Tianxun jumped up and landed directly on the horse's back, and the powerful falling force made the black dragon horse neigh again, and its four hooves almost knelt on the ground.

"Stop!" Ye Tianxun pulled the reins sharply, and the strong force directly pulled the black dragon horse's head sixty degrees. The black dragon horse raised its head to the sky and roared, and its mouth and nostrils spewed out large clouds of white vapor one after another, and finally stopped its pace.

"Night Sky Hunting, it's you. After the carriage stopped, Lu Shuiyan immediately walked out of the carriage and saw the young man who had not completely departed from the immaturity, and immediately exclaimed.

Ye Tianxun let out a breath of turbidity, "Are you okay?" ”

Lu Shuiyan shook her head slightly, and then asked nervously, "Where are we now?"

Ye Tianxun pondered for a moment, "I don't know exactly where it is, but I know the way back." Looking at the black dragon horse's bleeding body and tired state, Ye Tianxun frowned slightly, "It is estimated that the enemy will send people to chase after him, and even some fierce beasts will be attracted by this movement and the smell of blood, so it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”

Ye Tianxun jumped in front of Lu Shuiyan, and the burden hung directly on Lu Shuiyan's body and turned his back towards her, "I'll carry you away." ”

After a slight hesitation, Lu Shuiyan finally stretched out her slender arms and wrapped them around Ye Tianxun's neck.

――――――

"I'm not going to waste my time on you. Jing Chao stared at the scarred man, his eyes were like knives, and his momentum continued to rise, and the war knife in his hand, which originally seemed to be an ordinary divine soldier, suddenly lit up with Dao lines, like a bright moon hanging in the air.

"Magic weapon!" the scarred man was shocked.

This sword is the Shadow Sword. When Jing Chao decided to continue escorting the Lu family, Lu Shuiyan lent the Burning Shadow War Sword to Jing Chao to use. Originally, he planned to surprise the scar man with the Shadow War Knife at a critical moment when he attacked, but now he had no intention of hiding it, because Jing Chao wanted to ensure the safety of Ye Tianxun as soon as possible.

Jing Chao's legs were swept by the strong wind, his speed soared to the limit, and he rushed straight towards Wang Dong. The air flow surged around Jing Chao, and the Flame Shadow War Knife was like a huge beam of light that shot rapidly, and wherever it went, the mist dissipated, and the endless sword qi intertwined with each other with a sky-high momentum, caged towards the scar man.

Snort

Before the sword arrived, the surrounding tree trunks were torn apart by the violent wind, and the ground below was cracked like a spider's web.

The man with the scar was horrified in his heart, the other party had a magic weapon, and he was definitely not his opponent, so he could only avoid his edge for the sake of today.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from afar, and the ground even trembled.

"What's going on?"

The battle stopped instantly, and everyone looked into the distance suspiciously, but through the heavy fog, even a seventh-level cultivator couldn't see any clues.

"Squeak squeak...... thousands of rats came, and I saw a fierce beast surging from all directions at the same time, the size of the fierce beast was not large, almost all of them were between one and two feet, but the tide of numbers made everyone's faces change greatly.

"It's a stone rat tide! Run!"
