Chapter 19: Surprise Encounter
The reason why it is in the southeast direction instead of the due south direction is because of Tie Kaishan's suggestion, although the big detour route will run a lot of unjust roads, but it can better ensure that the demon clan will not be discovered.
The mountain trail is difficult to walk, and in some places there is no road at all, so it takes more time and effort to get there.
Due to the lengthening of the journey, it took five days for the group to walk about two-thirds of the way.
At noon on this day, everyone came to a flat place and prepared to eat and rest.
Dao Yuan took out the map and said to everyone: "Everyone, this place is very close to the place where the demon clan hoards grain and grass, and it is inevitable that there will be many people exposed, according to what was discussed before, let's separate here, if it is successful, everyone must rush here as soon as possible to meet......"
He paused for a moment, and then said, "If the others don't come back at the appointed time, then ...... Those who arrive first don't have to wait any longer, and rush back to the Soul Lock Pass as soon as possible!"
Yang Chong said with some worry: "Senior Brother Daoyuan, although the strength of you, Senior Brother Hu Lie, and Senior Brother Lei Luo is very high, the place you have chosen is the largest, farthest and most dangerous, ...... Are you sure that just the three of you will go and not need the help of other brothers and sisters?"
Dao Yuan smiled and said, "Because of this, there can't be too many people." If something happens, it's a matter of running for your life. Don't worry, we'll be careful, and everyone should be careful!"
Yang thought about it for a while, and was still a little uneasy: "The location of the target is triangular, according to the distance, our two groups should arrive at about the same time, and you will definitely be at night, if we make the first move, your side will definitely be alarmed, and when the time comes, the danger will increase exponentially......"
Lei Luo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if you can succeed on both sides, at least half of the grain and grass of the demon clan will turn into ashes, in this way, they won't last long, and the pressure on the big handsome side will be relieved a lot, even if we fail to succeed, the direction of this war is basically foreseeable! Besides, with the strength of a few of us, as long as we don't run into each other's masters, we are still very sure of retreating!"
"Okay then!" Yang Chong saw that they had made up their minds, and it was inconvenient to say any more, so he got up and said to them and another group of disciples: "Senior brothers, let's say goodbye here, I hope everyone will succeed immediately, and in five days, we will see you here!"
Everyone got up one after another, cherished each other, and waved goodbye.
Afterwards, the forty men were divided into three groups, each of whom left in a different direction.
......
......
Two days later, on a low mountain, three people and one beast appeared.
Lei Luo touched his stomach, licked his lips, and said tentatively, "Why don't you ...... I'm going to hunt a few pheasants and hares or something......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Lie's glare: "If you want to eat it raw, I have no opinion, but don't want Dao Yuan to barbecue, if the smoke is discovered, not to mention that the task cannot be completed, our lives may not be guaranteed!
Lei Luo muttered in a low voice: "Those dry food is hard and tasteless, and the legs of the people who eat them are weak, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on before I reach the destination......"
Dao Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's not absolutely impossible, there is a tree called Baililuo in the mountains, and its branches and leaves will not appear smoke when they burn, if we can find it, then we can feast on it......"
"Really?!" Thunderfall suddenly became excited and shouted, "You tell me what that thing looks like, I'll look for it now!"
Dao Yuan smiled: "In order not to delay time, you go to hunt prey, and I will go to Baililuo." ”
"Let's go!" Hu Lie's figure rushed down the mountain like the wind.
The golden light flashed, and Jin Er jumped on his shoulder excitedly.
“...... Hmm, you bastard, why are you in a hurry more than me, you still said that about me just now! Jin Er wait......" Lei Luo was stunned for a moment, and then chased after him dissatisfied.
Dao Yuan shook his head helplessly, and then walked down the mountain quickly, looking for Baili Luo left and right at the same time.
Although this kind of tree is very rare in the plains, it is not uncommon in the mountains, and it is very large, it is not very difficult to find, and after a while, Dao Yuan found one, and was just about to cut it down, when suddenly he heard the roar of thunder and gold from a distance: "Who are you?!"
Dao Yuan was startled and hurried over.
In a gentle place in the middle of the mountain, Jin Er stood on Hu Lie's shoulder, and together with Lei Luo, he looked coldly at the dozen strong men in front of him.
These people looked fierce, dressed a little simply, and held spears, crossbows, arrows and other weapons in their hands, scattered in a row, as if they were facing a great enemy.
One of the strong men who looked like a leader looked at them a few times, and his heart moved, and asked, "Are you Terrans?"
Lei Luo was slightly shocked in his heart, and then shouted calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, answer my question!"
Hu Lie was a little strange, and said in his heart that these people should be the demon clan, but they didn't seem to show much hostility towards the two of them, weren't they soldiers sent by the demon clan to guard?
Seeing that Lei Luo spoke very politely, the leader changed color slightly and said: "You have broken into our territory, but you are still so strong, you can't get tired of living!"
Lei Luo saw that their momentum was average, and his strength must be mediocre, if he really wanted to fight, it would be absolutely easy for him and Hu Lie to clean them up, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly: "You shrimp soldiers and crab generals, you want to stop us?
The leader said, "Young man, I know you are very powerful, but this breath is a little too big!" As he spoke, he suddenly felt something from his bosom and put it to his mouth and blew it.
"He's telling the helpers, take them down! Don't kill people yet......" Hu Lie shouted and pounced first.
Jin Er turned into a streamer and attacked several others.
The thunder fell and then moved, the cold light of his eyes faintly, and the killing machine suddenly appeared.
Boom......
Click......
Yes......!
Several screams rang out, and in just a few faces, more than a dozen people were all knocked down, broken weapons were scattered all over the ground, and a few people were swept by Jin'er's sharp claws, bleeding from their chests, sweating profusely in pain, and their faces were pale.
The others were stunned by the force of the thunder and lay motionless on the ground. The leader was even more miserable, more than a dozen ribs were broken by Hu Lie's palm force, and one arm was unnaturally bent, but he was very stiff and didn't make a sound.
"Stick, why don't you kill it?" Lei Luo asked as he looked around and was a little puzzled.
Hu Lie looked at Jin Er on his shoulder, frowned, and said, "I don't think they are like soldiers, we are needless to kill more." ”
Lei Luo groaned, "I don't want to do this either, but what if...... Aren't we dangerous?"
"It's better to wait for the fate of the Dao to come......
Before Hu Lie finished speaking, a majestic figure suddenly fell from the sky, and roared wildly in mid-air: "You dare to hurt my people, what a big courage!"
The sound was like a thunderbolt, which shook the surrounding echoes and spread far away.
"Be careful!"
The two hurriedly dodged back and avoided to the side.
Rumble!
In the midst of the flying stone chips, an old man with gray hair appeared, his half-squinted eyes shooting out bursts of cold light, and looked at them with a gloomy face.
The two of them couldn't help but feel a slight shock in their hearts when they saw that this person had blasted out a big crater in their previous location.
"Who are you who dare to be presumptuous here!" the old man asked in a deep voice, knowing that the clansmen behind him were not in danger of their lives for the time being.
As soon as he finished speaking, two more people flew over, and when they saw the clansmen lying on the ground, they hurriedly stepped forward to help, and at the same time glared at Hu Lie and Lei Luo viciously.
Lei Luo said in a low voice: "Bang mallet, what should I do? This old guy is very powerful, we can't seem to beat him!"
Hu Lie gestured with his eyes, and suddenly a fierce sword light came out of his hand, approaching the old man, and then he pulled Lei Luo and ran wildly into the distance to flee for his life.
"Want to run?" the old man let out a cold snort in his nostrils, jumped up, swept more than a dozen feet, and chased after him like lightning.
"Leave it for me!"
After only running more than a hundred zhang, the old man had already come behind them, pushed forward with both palms, and two fierce and uncast palms rumbled.
Boom!
Dao Yuan finally arrived at this time, and a grand sword qi was issued, blocking the old man's majestic attack, but he was also shocked to his feet, and retreated more than a dozen steps in a row until his back was against a boulder.
