Text Chapter 164 Sand Bandits
readx; Yi Tian came to this stone city, in addition to inquiring about the news of Mocheng, he also joined a caravan.
Because most of the wasteland is covered by desert, it is too dangerous to walk alone in the desert, and it is easy to encounter sandbands or sandstorms, so most people who travel choose to join the caravans, and only need to pay some spirit stones to get the protection of the caravan, which greatly reduces the danger on the way.
And the strength of the caravan that Yi Tian joined is not weak, including three guards in the early stage of bone quenching and the caravan leader whose strength has reached the middle stage of bone quenching, so the formation is enough to deter some ill-intentioned small people, and what makes Yi Tian even more pleased is that the destination of this caravan is Mocheng!
In this way, Yi Tian also saved himself from looking for a route to Mocheng, after all, in this desert, if people who are not familiar with the environment, it is easy to get lost in it and be swallowed by the vast desert.
After waiting for a long time, some people from the same road were joined one after another, adding up to nearly a hundred people in total, and then with the shout of the caravan leader, the group set off in a majestic manner.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Yi Tian also deliberately dressed himself in local clothes, and hid his cultivation, looking like he was only refining five or six times.
It is about 10,000 miles away from Shicheng and Mocheng, and although the caravan is not slow, it will take at least half a month's journey.
However, Yi Tian is not in a hurry, according to the information of the sect, the blood drops have to stay in Mocheng for a long time, and the time is more than enough, and Yi Tian also wants to find out more news, after all, he doesn't know anything about Mocheng, and it is still a little troublesome in case someone plots.
Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the caravan has walked nearly a third of the way, and Yi Tian also realized that it is not easy to walk in this vast desert, not only need to observe the weather from time to time to prevent the sandstorm from coming, but also must always pay attention to the feet to prevent the caravan from falling into the quicksand.
But fortunately, this caravan is very experienced, and it is obvious that it has not traveled this distance once or twice, so nothing happened along the way.
Yi Tian, like most of the crowd, was at the back of the middle of the entire caravan, and he also released his divine thoughts along the way to constantly observe the surroundings.
However, what interested Yi Tian was that the way this caravan transported goods was actually to use a low-level demon beast called "Camel Beast" unique to the local area.
This camel beast is huge, with thick hooves and heavy paws, a thick bone spur on each side of its back, and an extremely wide middle of it.
Yi Tian had never seen this kind of demon beast before, so he couldn't help but look at it twice.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out, and it turned out to be the leader of the caravan who was walking in the front and stopped the entire caravan.
At the same time, several guards with seven or eight refinement cultivation skills who were walking behind quickly stepped forward and asked the caravan leader why, and everyone was also a little confused by this scene, and their faces were confused.
Generally speaking, only when it is time to rest, the caravan leader will call a stop and let the entire caravan stop and rest for a while, otherwise there will be a special situation, and now he has just rested once, but now he is called to stop, naturally the second situation has occurred.
Yi Tian's heart moved, and he had a faint bad premonition.
Sure enough, a few guards in front of him came running after a while, telling everyone not to move no matter what happened, and all the guards drew their weapons and stood by in battle.
Seeing this situation, everyone naturally understood what was happening, and immediately they were extremely cooperative, and they all gathered together, silent, and for a while, a murderous aura permeated the entire caravan.
Seeing this, Yi Tian also slowly moved to the periphery of the crowd, in case anything happened.
The leader of this caravan is a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a scar on his face, which looks quite hideous, but at this time his face is a little not good-looking, and then he clenched his fists and said loudly: "The man in the desert is walking in the sand, and the hand of the heavenly lord grabs the earth spirit, dare to ask which hero is here?"
However, when the caravan leader's words were shouted, there was no response from the surroundings, which made the caravan leader's face even more ugly.
Yi Tian's eyes flashed, in his divine perception, this caravan has gradually been surrounded by another group of people, and there are many masters among them, three early stage bone quenching powerhouses, one bone quenching middle stage powerhouse, and a faint aura Yi Tian can't detect, it should be some kind of special secret method or spirit weapon to cover the breath, and it is not weak.
After being silent for a long time, suddenly a somewhat harsh man's voice sounded: "The desert is ruthless, and the soul will not look back until he dies for ten thousand years!"
"Slanted wolf!" the caravan leader was startled, and his face suddenly became solemn.
"Hehe, it's worthy of the Scar Tiger, over the years in this place, if I want to say who I have admired with a squint-eyed wolf, it's you!" At this time, a figure gradually came from a distance, and as the distance got closer, this person's appearance was also clearly displayed in front of everyone.
This is also a middle-aged man, but he is slightly thin compared to the leader of the caravan, and one eye is crooked, which is where the title of slanted-eyed wolf comes from.
However, although this slanted-eyed wolf was thin and weak, the fierce aura it exuded was not weak at all, and there was a fluctuation of spiritual power in the middle of the quenching of the bones, and there was still a trace of anger on his face.
"I didn't expect you to be alive. The leader of the caravan, known as the Scarred Tiger, said in a deep voice, as if he was familiar with the squint-eyed wolf.
"Hehe, is it a surprise, you and I parted back then, and it's been nearly twenty years now......" The squint-eyed wolf slowly approached, his eyes were reminiscing, and he was not afraid of the huge formation of this caravan.
"It's hard to imagine that you didn't die from such an injury back then, and your cultivation has reached this point now!"
"Okay, old friends are finished, you also know my rules, don't let me do it myself. The squint-eyed wolf suddenly changed his words and became murderous.
Scarred Tiger's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "You should also know my rules, my life is saved by the master's family, so the goods will be given to you at most half, and you must ensure that everyone here is safe and sound!"
The squint-eyed wolf was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "You are really still the character of the year, and it is because of this that I admire you with squint-eyed wolves." But today is different from back then, if you don't hand over all the goods, I'm afraid not only these people, but even you will have to die here!"
"Since that's the case, there's nothing to say, let me see how much you've grown in cultivation over the years!" Scar Tiger's face was cold, and a giant knife instantly appeared in his hand, and he slashed towards the squint-eyed wolf with the giant knife.
And the squint-eyed wolf's eyes also flashed with a cold light, and two huge iron claws suddenly appeared on his two hands, and they fought with the approaching Scar Tiger.
At the same time, I only heard the shouting of killing around me for a moment, and countless people and horses suddenly rushed over, rolling up a burst of yellow sand and flying, and the murderous aura was shocking!
"Sand bandits!" someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
And the three guards in the caravan who were in the early stage of quenching bones also rushed out in an instant, carrying many guards to meet them, leaving only a few guards to protect the crowd following the caravan.
Yi Tian's face remained unchanged, and the vague aura had not yet appeared, so he did not make a rash move.
This group of sand bandits is obviously different from ordinary sand bandits, not only are there many masters, but also well-trained, in less than a moment, the caravan's guards are defeated and retreat, only the masters of the Quenching Bone Realm are still desperately resisting.
The Scarred Tiger, who was fighting fiercely with the squint-eyed wolf, obviously also discovered this, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, according to this situation, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before he loses his defeat, and then not only will the goods be lost, but even the entire caravan will be slaughtered!
Thinking of this, Scarred Tiger shouted violently, fought hard with the squint-eyed wolf, and then suddenly rushed towards the sand bandits in the early stage of quenching bones, wanting to solve them first, and then a few people could besiege the squint-eyed wolf.
However, seeing Scar Tiger doing this, the squint-eyed wolf didn't have the slightest intention of stopping it, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"It's coming!" Yi Tian stared at him, and said secretly in his heart.
Just as Scar Tiger was about to approach the three early stage sand bandits, suddenly, a huge palm formed by yellow sand suddenly appeared in front of him, and then slapped towards Scar Tiger.
"Late stage of bone quenching?!" Scar Tiger said in disbelief.
At this time, I saw a rickety, wrinkled gray-clothed old man walking out of the yellow sand, holding a snake-headed cane, and carrying a huge yellow gourd behind his back, which seemed to be very difficult.
"Uncle, young man, the old man sees that your cultivation is good, why don't you submit to the old man's hands, and ensure that you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in your life?" The gray-clothed old man said in a hoarse and ugly voice, facing the scarred tiger.
When Scar Tiger saw the gray-clothed old man dressed in outfit, his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "You are the old man of the gourd?!"
"Yes, it's the old man!" the gray-clothed old man grinned and said with great solemnity.
Hearing the affirmative words of the gray-clothed old man, a voice of despair suddenly came from the crowd around Yi Tian.
"It turned out to be the old man of the gourd, this time he is dead!"
"How could you meet the old man of the gourd, it is said that no one has ever been able to leave a living mouth under him!"
"How did I get to this caravan, it's really damn me!"
Some cursed, some sobbed, and a layer of death appeared on everyone's faces, because there was almost no hope of survival under such murderers, and suddenly a layer of despair filled the caravan.
