Chapter 143: Ambush and Intelligence
Among the four major families, some are solemn and some are calm.
After the Noether family returned, at Nikola's strong request, they held another family meeting alone, and strongly recommended that in the past month, no more convoys should be sent out.
After all, according to records, the time limit for the arrival of red blood people is often only one month.
As long as this month lasts, the powerful red-blooded man will be gone, and then the lost business can be slowly restored.
It is much better than risking a large number of clansmen being killed and a large loss of goods during this period.
But the rest of the high-level leaders who had not seen Jiang Heng's strength with their own eyes naturally would not agree with Nikola's opinion, and still decided to act according to the results discussed by the city lord meeting.
Dispatch additional personnel to transport goods, prepare for distress signals, and release them immediately in case of danger, and the blue demons who take turns patrolling around the city will immediately go to the rescue.
Under such an arrangement, what kind of threat can a mere red-blooded person be?
……
Somewhere outside of Roba.
Jiang Heng found a hidden place and sat down cross-legged.
According to the strength of the demons, he could actually predict that among all the contestants, except for him and Wen Qingxue, who had the strength to compete head-on with a team of dozens of people, the others were estimated to be able to slowly sneak up on a small group of demons.
It may even be surrounded by demons and flee in all directions.
Therefore, the number of demon cores of other people cannot be too much at all.
For Jiang Heng, there is no difficulty at all in order to get the top five.
Therefore, in his opinion, there is no need to pursue the number of demon cores too much, and there is no point in killing demons everywhere, but it is more important to find a way to obtain more soul crystals.
"It's up to Nikola to see if they really cooperate!"
Jiang Heng smiled slightly, his eyes closed slightly, and he began to cultivate.
Night.
Jiang Heng got up and came to a place outside Luoba City.
Somewhere in the grass between the three large trees, rummaging, and in a few moments, an object resembling brown paper was turned out under a stone.
It looks thin, but it's incredibly tough to the touch.
There were words written on the paper, just some information about the other family's convoy tomorrow.
For example, how many people are escorted, how many blue demons are there, the departure time, the most likely routes, etc., as well as the countermeasures decided during the discussion in the City Lord's Mansion yesterday.
It's extremely detailed.
Jiang Heng couldn't help laughing.
"Is the betrayal of the race so decisive and thorough?"
Naturally, he would not easily believe the other party, but he had no fear, and he was not worried about encountering an ambush, so he wrote down the information and rubbed his hands together.
The tough kraft paper turned into powder.
Jiang Heng turned around and returned to the hidden point, and continued to sit down and cultivate, his body as if it had turned into a black hole, devouring the energy in the void around him.
The air was whistling like a ghost crying.
Early the next morning.
A large convoy set off from Roba City, escorted by a hundred red demons and two blue demons, in the direction of the west of the city.
Jiang Heng probed from afar around Luoba City, and sure enough, he found this convoy on one of the routes mentioned in the intelligence.
"Sure enough, Nikola's information, at least the time and route are accurate."
He looked around again, and looked closely.
According to Nikola's intelligence.
In the deliberations of the City Lord's Mansion, although the high-ranking officials of Luoba City questioned Jiang Heng's strength, they were not careless at all in terms of strategy.
In addition to the addition of an extra blue demon in the convoy, there is also a blue demon quietly following in the distance.
It's not that they don't want to send more, but the blue demons are already rare, and each of them is a big man in Roba City, and under the negotiation of the four major families, it is extremely rare to be able to send three together.
"Three blue demons?"
Jiang Heng groaned slightly, but he still did not give up his intention to rob and kill.
In yesterday's battle, the soul ripples released by a group of red demons at the same time, the kind of indiscriminate and lightning-fast large-scale attack, made him quite jealous.
But this trick can be avoided as long as you take precautions.
As for the three blue demons, it was really what made him pay a lot of attention.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Heng followed all the way, but he never found the blue demon who was quietly following, so he had to give up.
in the convoy.
Surrounded by hundreds of red demons, the two blue demons sat on the horse beast, their eyes sweeping from time to time.
"Elder Harper, do you think what Nikola said will be true?"
One of the blue demons asked casually.
Another blue demon named Harper responded indifferently: "Elder Git, there shouldn't be anything fake about the red-blooded people, after all, the demon cores in the heads of those corpses are gone, much like what the red-blooded people did." ”
"As for whether the strength of that red-blooded man is so strong, I can only see if I will meet the other party."
As he was talking, a rough voice sounded among the red demons guarding beside him: "The red-blooded man is here!" In the back! ”
Everyone turned their heads and immediately saw Jiang Heng who was rushing through the air.
"Stop, vigilance!"
Elder Harper suddenly shouted.
The convoy stopped, and all the demons were on guard with short spears in hand.
Elder Harper's mind moved, and a translucent short blade flew out of his mind, slashing towards Jiang Heng who was rapidly approaching like lightning.
As Blue Demons, not only are they more capable of attacking, but their attack range is also much farther than that of normal Red Demons.
This soul blade flashed in the air, and almost instantly arrived in front of Jiang Heng, and was about to shoot into his mind.
But Jiang Heng's body technique was too powerful, and at this moment, a sudden flash appeared, dozens of meters away.
on the ground.
While Elder Harper attacked, Elder Git waited intently.
When he saw Jiang Heng's figure flashing and dodging the soul short blade, he immediately moved his mind, and the same translucent soul short blade flew out.
It is also like lightning, hundreds of meters in an instant.
But Jiang Heng flashed again, and dodged it perfectly again.
The two blue demons changed color at the same time.
"Everyone, Soul Ripple!"
"Ready!"
Everyone waited intently for Jiang Heng to continue to approach, and the last slogan of the two blue demons also came to their lips.
Midair.
Jiang Heng was unconscious, and approached the demons like a streamer.
"Put!"
As a loud shout rang out, nearly a hundred translucent ripples spread out in the air.
Nearly a hundred ripples were stacked, forming huge waves that hit indiscriminately in all directions.
This is completely a move that kills a thousand enemies and damages eight hundred.
The fight is who can resist more.
The first to bear the brunt was all the red demons, who unconsciously snorted in pain, and instantly fell into a state of confusion, and their bodies fell to the ground.
The two blue demons were equally uncomfortable.
Under such a wave of soul ripples, there was a sharp pain in my mind, but I didn't lose consciousness.
