Chapter 685: The Horse Thieves
readx;
Dale!
The carriage had already stopped, and Lin Nantian and Xiao Lengdao also got out of the carriage, not that they had reached their destination, but that they ...... surrounded. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Tens of thousands of prairie people surrounded them, as early as just now, Lin Nantian had already "heard" the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, as far as the eye could see, there was almost no gap around, and everywhere in sight was the unruly appearance of the prairie people riding a tall horse.
They wrapped their foreheads in pale cloth, held large knives in their hands, and looked like fierce gods.
"It's a horse thief!"
Before coming to the prairie, Pei Yueqing had made up the basic common sense of the prairie to Lin Nantian, and ordinary prairie people would not dress up like this, wrapping their foreheads with monochrome cloth, which was the dress of horse thieves in the prairie! They did all kinds of evil, and they could be said to be the "robbers" in the prairie; in addition to looking for the tribes of the prairie people from time to time to collect protection money, they also took plundering the business trips that came and went as their "own job."
Because of the existence of horse thieves, if the merchants of the empire go to the prairie, no matter what the purpose, they will inevitably hire a mercenary group to make sure that everything is safe. If there is not enough force to protect it, the loss of money and property is small, and it is possible to lose even the surname and life...... And like Lin Nantian, the "lineup" with hundreds of cultivators is not high-class in terms of mercenary groups, but it is also a medium level, and the idle horse thieves definitely don't have that much "appetite" to eat.
The horse thieves of the prairie are recorded in the group, ranging from dozens of people to tens of thousands, and the most prestigious and powerful horse thieves in the prairie have a huge "lineup" of hundreds of thousands of people, which can be said to be across the prairie, and even the royal family of the prairie is afraid of this terrifying horse thief group, not for anything else, so this horse thief group has an extremely rare one in the prairie - a Yuanshen-level cultivator!
And the horse thief group with more than 10,000 people is called the large horse thief group, which is not many in the prairie, there are only three in total.
Right now, Lin Nantian and his entourage went deep into the prairie so swaggeringly, which finally attracted the attention of one of the "forces".
"Are you afraid?" Lin Nantian put his right hand on Xiao Lengdao's shoulder and said indifferently.
"No, master!"
Xiao Lengdao's eyes showed a trace of bloodlust and excitement, and the intention of asking for battle was self-evident.
"That'...... Let's kill it!"
As the corners of Lin Nantian's mouth rose slightly, the "trapped beast" that was originally surrounded by the horse thief group suddenly erupted!
With Lin Nantian as the center, these "servants" who were resurrected through spiritual resurrection were like a swarm of bees, and they were instantly inserted into the dense horse thieves on the periphery!
No more, no less, just four hundred servants, from No. 1 to No. 400, each of them has a strength no less than the Yuan Emperor level, and there are even fifty Yuan Ancestor level cultivators! That was the result of Lin Nantian's hunting with eighteen skeleton emperors in the Yan Mountain, if it weren't for the fact that there were no Yuan God-level Yuan cultivators among these "servants", the strength would even be comparable to the Qin family's Flame Legion!
Although there are no top-level powerhouses, the energy that erupts from this team composed of Yuan Emperor Yuan Ancestor level cultivators is also considerable, just the first contact, the tens of thousands of horse thieves suddenly turned on their backs and fell into endless panic!
This is a horse thief group with a staff of just 10,000 people, it is a horse thief group that has risen in the emerging world, and it has just merged several other horse thief groups to have such a scale, called "Gale", and does not belong to the three veteran horse thief groups with a staff of more than 10,000 people, compared to those real large horse thief groups, although the number of "Gale Wind" horse thief groups is not small, but the top power is too weak, except for the leader who is a blue-level ancestor level cultivator, the entire horse thief group has only one red-level ancestor-level cultivator!
Originally, the plan of the "Gale" horse thief group was to surround Lin Nantian and his party first, and then slowly encroach, depending on the situation. If the other party is strong, then collect some protection money, and if the other party is weak, swallow it mercilessly.
In fact, this is also the same "modus operandi" of all horse thieves in the prairie. However, Yan Duo, who was beaten, was finally pecked, and the development of things was completely unexpected to them, no one would have imagined that this team of only more than 400 people, not only did not become the turtle in the urn, but instead made the first move, and came to be an anti-guest!
The horse thieves sent by the "Gale" horse thieves to "negotiate" were torn to pieces by the cultivators who seemed to be like tigers entering the flock of sheep before they could say a word, and the horse thieves were immediately caught off guard, but the good quality of the long-term battle made them quickly calm down and rise up to resist!
When it comes to battle, the savannahs are never afraid!
Although they had already felt the terrible power of these cultivators, the horse thieves still wanted to rely on the strength of the crowd and wanted to encircle and suppress them with many bullies.
But...... Is it possible?
If he was not sure, how could Lin Nantian make such a move!
Kill, kill, kill!
There are all kinds of tricks used by these cultivators, some of them are good at hand-to-hand combat, some are good at long-distance sneak attacks, and some of them make a knife weapon superb, but no matter which cultivator, the strength of the explosion is quite terrifying, far better than these horse thieves.
Destroy the withered and decayed, invincible!
In just a blink of an eye, there were countless dead bodies on the ground, and the deaths were different and miserable.
The little cold knife is also like a tiger into the flock of sheep, a shadow knife waving the ground dazzling, almost no enemy under his hands, under the guidance of Lin Nantian, the footwork skills of the small cold knife are quite strong, although there are a large number of horse thieves, but with the magic of footwork skills, the small cold knife is in and out of freedom, like a butterfly interspersed in the flowers, taking the enemy's head is like probing the bag!
Behind him, the four skeleton emperors followed him like a shadow, protecting his "safety", accidents were inevitable in the melee, Lin Nantian didn't want to cause any harm to Xiao Lengdao because of these humble horse thieves, after all, he was born a horse thief, what kind of insidious tricks were used, Xiao Lengdao still has little combat experience, and it is not necessarily necessary to go on the road.
Heng Mei coldly watched this melee of 10,000 people, Lin Nantian held his hands behind his back, as if he was dominating the world, and the four skeleton emperors beside him firmly guarded him, blocking those horse thieves who tried to "capture the thief and capture the king first", it was indeed Lin Nantian who was too lazy to do it, and it was really a loss of his identity to deal with horse thieves of this level.
What's more, he also wanted to see what the actual combat ability of these cultivators who had been resurrected by the "Spirit Resurrection" was!
The result did not seem to disappoint him, with 400 against 10,000, he now has a complete advantage, slaughtering almost half of the horse thieves!
The strength is not at the same level at all!
In the face of the overwhelming slaughter, the leader of the "Gale Wind" felt panicked, other horse thieves may have shallow knowledge, but as a Yuan Ancestor level cultivator, he has experienced countless battles large and small, how can he not see through it!
"Withdraw!"
Although the leader of the "Gale" was extremely unwilling, he still made the wisest decision, and this time he had to consider himself unlucky when he kicked the iron plate.
As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood. As long as he is alive, it won't take long for the "Gale" horse thieves to regain their strength, and a loss is nothing!
However, the other Lin Nantian may let him go, but the leader of this horse thief group, how could Lin Nantian let it go easily, he still wants to get a little information from his place...... "Tiger!"
Like a gale, the four skeleton emperors, under the command of Lin Nantian, quickly locked onto their targets and surrounded the leader of the "Gale Wind".
Facing the four skeleton emperors whose strength was not inferior to him in any way, the leader of the "Gale Wind" was pale, trembling all over, as an ancestor-level cultivator, he knew what the consequences would be if he was one against four, among them, there was even one exuding the terrifying oppressive power of the primordial god level!
No odds at all!
Although the leader of the "Gale Wind" thinks of himself very highly, he is not ignorant of the height of the sky, and he is still well aware of the absolute difference between the strength of the Yuan Shen level and the Yuan Ancestor level.
"It's over......"
When confidence had been lost, the battle became even more suspenseless, and after a while, there was an extra corpse in front of Lin Nantian.
The old trick was repeated, and Lin Nantian quickly resurrected him and became the servant of No. 401.
The soul that descended this time was a member of the Sword Sect at the level of Emperor Yuan in his previous life, and he soon digested the "memory" of the corpse and reported to Lin Nantian...... "Great Snow Mountain, Silent Spirit Valley?"
In the mind of the servant No. 401, apart from these two peculiar places, he couldn't find any other useful information, Lin Nantian felt a little sorry in his heart, but he didn't care too much. After all, as the leader of the horse thieves, every time he talks about drinking blood on the knife, it is not surprising that he does not know about those "useful information".
Can you expect a "robber" to know too much about "state events"?
The Great Snow Mountain is the "holy land" of the prairie people, the prairie people have their own beliefs, they believe in the gods, and the descendants of the gods are said to be located in the Great Snow Mountains. However, in the memory of the servant No. 401, apart from worshiping the gods and worshipping the Great Snow Mountain, there is not much information about the Great Snow Mountain.
If the Great Snow Mountain is the holy place that everyone in the prairie yearns for and goes to, then the Valley of the Silent Spirit is the place where everyone is afraid and afraid, and the wind changes. In the memory of Servant 401, this Silent Valley seems to have entered and exited, and it can be called a Jedi existence!
"But I don't know where the Bodhi Wonderland mentioned by Zhuge Li's predecessors will be......"
※※After exterminating the "Gale Wind" horse thief group, Lin Nantian and his party encountered several horse thieves of different forces one after another, but both the scale and size were far inferior to the "Gale Wind" horse thief group.
For these lazy and evil horse thieves, Lin Nantian will not show mercy at all.
Three days later, one of the 30,000 horse thieves in the prairie -- the "Wild Wolf" Horse Thieves Regiment finally appeared, but it was no different from the "Gale" Horse Thieves Regiment, leaving behind 5,000 corpses and fleeing in a hurry, while the big boss of the "Wild Wolf" Horse Thieves Regiment never showed up from beginning to end, and although the second leader was captured, he still did not obtain any information of the kind.
As Lin Nantian and his party went deeper and deeper into the prairie, their fame became bigger and bigger.
The name "Masked Mercenary Group" has long been spread and has become synonymous with Lin Nantian and his party.
After all, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary mercenary group to kill the "Gale" horse thieves and seriously injure the "Wild Wolf" horse thieves.
On the tenth day of going deep into the prairie, Lin Nantian finally found the first tribe of the prairie people!
It was almost a tent settlement, and the trees of the steppe people were scarce, so the wooden houses were extremely scarce, and only the steppe people who were of high status in the tribe were eligible to live in.
The tribe of the steppe people is the same as the ordinary villages of the empire, the only difference is that there are only old and weak women and children in the tribe, but there is not a single man in the prime of life at all, presumably because he was called into the army.
Looking at the laughter of the children in the clan, the hard work of the clansmen, and the appearance of happiness, Lin Nantian's original plan disappeared in an instant, although he has become ruthless at this moment, but to kill these old and weak women and children, to be honest, Lin Nantian still can't do it.
"That's it......"
Lin Nantian shook his head and sighed softly: "I don't know anything about these old and weak women and children. ”
Although the prairie people did all kinds of evil, annihilated and plundered silver in the empire, and killed countless old and weak women and children, Lin Nantian hated it in his heart, but he couldn't do the same thing as them. I thought I could be cold-blooded and ruthless, but when the matter came to my eyes, I realized that I couldn't do it at all.
But it is made of surnames...... Since he was not ruthless enough, Lin Nantian had no choice but to continue to march, not to mention anything else, the task entrusted to him by the master should be completed as much as possible, for him, not killing these old and weak women and children in the clan does not mean that he cannot complete the task.
There will never be only one way!
Since seeing the first tribe of the prairie people, for several days in a row, Lin Nantian can see the tribes of different sizes every day, and they are becoming more and more frequent, just like the customs and customs of the prairie people he learned at the beginning, the more he goes, the more tribes of the prairie people will be!
To tell the truth, the area of the prairie is quite large, a few points larger than any of the three empires, but the land is vast and the population is thin, so the population of the steppe has always been less than that of the three empires.
"Huh?"
When Lin Nantian once again passed by an ordinary tribe of the prairie people, the detection of spiritual power had a trace of inexplicable doubts.
"One Yuan Ancestor, two Yuan Emperor-level Yuan cultivators?"
This is a rather large clan, the largest clan that Lin Nantian has seen in the past two days, the number of old, weak, women and children in the clan is more than thousands, and in terms of population alone, it is not much different from the small town of the empire. In the past few days, every time he passed by the tribe of the prairie people, Lin Nantian would probe it, and the most in the tribe was no more than the Yuan Sect level cultivators, not to mention the Yuan Ancestor level, there were not even Yuan Emperor level cultivators.
And now, there are not only Yuan Emperor-level cultivators, but also as many as two, and there is also an ancestor-level cultivator, which makes people wonder!
You must know that the current combat power of the prairie is all concentrated in the war, how can such a powerful force still exist in the prairie?
Compared to the Empire, the Prairie people are quite united, and there are as many as 200 million Yuan cultivators in the Empire, but there are only a little more than 10% of the Yuan cultivators who are really willing to serve the Empire! This can be seen from Lin Nantian's ability to hunt down so many Yuan cultivators in the Yan Mountain. And the prairie people, although the number of cultivators is not large, and the combat power is not as good as the empire, but the victory lies in unity, the prairie is in trouble, and all the warriors of the prairie will be obligated to go into battle without a trace of hesitation!
Therefore, this time, the prairie poured out the strength of the whole clan to fight the Heavenly Kingdom, but there were still such powerful cultivators left in the clan, which was completely unreasonable!
"Peng!"
Lin Nantian's spiritual power detection seemed to have been resisted, and he felt a slight sense in his heart, Lin Nantian suddenly felt a little surprised, it was indeed his spiritual power detection that was discovered!
His spiritual power has reached the Yuan Shen level, and the Yuan Emperor Yuan Ancestor level cultivator has been discovered?!
Who is the other person?
Under Lin Nantian's instructions, 401 servants instantly surrounded the entire clan, and eighteen skeleton emperors followed Lin Nantian in the direction of exploration, and there were three mysterious prairie people for a while.
They were three prairie men dressed in white, and although their clothes were very different from the other prairie people, their faces and facial features were exactly the same as those of the prairie people.
A middle-aged man, as well as two young men.
Although it was impossible to tell their real age from their appearance, there was no doubt that with the current strength of the three of them, their cultivation was definitely fast.
"You are not prairie people. The middle-aged man led by him looked at Lin Nantian and said in a deep voice.
The language of the prairie is not difficult to learn, and although Lin Nantian is not proficient in learning it in half a month in Tianqing City, ordinary conversation is no longer difficult for him.
"You're different from the rest of the prairie people. Lin Nantian said indifferently.
The middle-aged man stared at Lin Nantian tightly, and said in a cold voice: "Outsiders, what are you doing in the prairie?"
"Why should I tell you?" Lin Nantian couldn't help but chuckle.
The middle-aged man's eyes were cold, he put his hand lightly on his chest, and said reverently: "We are the servants of the gods, representing the will of the gods, outsiders, if you dare to disobey the will and orders of the gods, you will die without a place to be buried." ”
"You are only a servant of the gods, and you are not the son of the gods, how can you represent the will of the gods?" Lin Nantian quipped: "How can a servant be the master of the house instead of the master?"
"You !!"
The middle-aged man was robbed of white by Lin Nantian for a while, and he was speechless, and his old face turned extremely red.
"Let me ask you, are you from the Great Snow Mountain?"
"Hmph. ”
The middle-aged man seemed to have an opinion on Lin Nantian, but he just snorted coldly with his nose disdainfully, but he ignored Lin Nantian.
"Even if you don't say it, I know. ”
Lin Nantian smiled, but there was a little more cruel murderous aura in his smile, and under the influence of his mind, the eighteen skeleton emperors surrounded the three middle-aged men in the blink of an eye.
"What are you doing here?" the middle-aged man saw that the signs were wrong, and suddenly said inwardly.
"Of course, the gods who sent you to meet you......"
