Chapter 247: The Swarm
"Second Miss, someone is coming!"
As soon as Zhao Yan got off the carriage and sat down next to the bonfire to rest for a while, Zhao Yunlong, the leader of his guards, hurriedly ran over to report.
"Who?"
Zhao Yanliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, her cherry lips opened lightly, and her voice was like a soft one.
"It's an old man of seventy or eighty years old, riding a donkey!" Zhao Yunlong said vigilantly.
Now it was getting late, and it was pitch black all around, and in the middle of this wilderness, an old man suddenly appeared, and anyone would feel that there was a problem.
This world is full of demons and monsters.
"Let's be on guard and adapt!" Zhao Yanqiao commanded with a calm face.
She might not have been so vigilant as usual, but this time the things they found were really precious, and they had to be 120,000 careful.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yunlong answered, and immediately went down to order.
Soon, an old man riding a donkey and wearing a green coat appeared in their sight.
The moment she saw the old man, Zhao Yan's eyes froze slightly.
It's not yet the height of summer, and it's in this wilderness place, and the weather is cold to the bone marrow every night, and this old man is thinly dressed, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person.
Probably a cultivator!
However, Zhao Yan looked at the other party's donkey a little strangely.
This donkey looks like it is raised by an ordinary farmer, how can any immortal cultivator ride this kind of ordinary mount, even if it walks, it is faster than this donkey.
Such a strange combination really made her a little confused.
The donkey was weak, and it seemed that it had walked a lot of roads, and Lao Tzu obviously did not ride on it, but it was still swaying, obviously trying to pick a child.
"You little brute! If you are so lazy, when you get to the city, you will be made into donkey meat and burned! ”
Lao Tzu scolded and drove the donkey to a green meadow, while he sat aside and rested against the tree.
The other party obviously didn't want to contact them, and he was three or four hundred steps away, if it weren't for Zhao Yan's cultivation, he probably wouldn't be able to hear the old man's words.
Judging from the other party's behavior, it should just happen to be passing by, otherwise there would not be such a strange behavior.
"Looks like it just happened to be passing by!"
Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and asked her subordinates to relax their guard.
Soon after, his men brought her the prepared food.
Zhao Yan was about to eat it, but suddenly stopped and ordered, "Send one to that old gentleman." ”
"Huh? Second Miss, this is not very good, we don't know him at all! Zhao Yunlong was a little puzzled.
"Meeting is fate, and we are not short of this food, so we should have a good fate." Zhao Yan said with a smile.
Since the other party has no ill will towards them, it is possible to make friends.
There are many friends and many roads when she is away, even if the other party refuses in the end, she has nothing to lose.
"Subordinates understood!"
Zhao Yunlong, who understood his second lady's character, didn't say anything, took a plate full of food, and personally served it to the other party.
Looking at the food brought over, a trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes.
Zhao Yan arched her hand at the other party from afar, proving that she had no malicious intent.
The old man took the food, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and without a word of thanks, he picked up one of the roasted brown rabbit legs and ate it, but he vomited as soon as he took a bite, and then threw the food directly on the ground.
"Sure enough, you can't eat anything given by strangers, and if you eat too much, you will have worms in your stomach!"
As he spoke, Lao Tzu still stomped on the food he threw away a few times.
Zhao Yunlong, who had just finished delivering food and had not yet walked back, was so angry that he almost didn't pull out his knife when he saw the old man's actions.
"Little brute, still eat! It's so hard that you want to have worms in your stomach! ”
The old man kicked the donkey, who was eating with relish, and then pulled the reins and prepared to leave.
Zhao Yan, who witnessed all this from a distance, couldn't help but show a trace of anger on her face.
He kindly sent him food, but he didn't eat it, he actually threw it away, and even scolded people around the bush.
How can there be such a bad person in the world?
I really don't know how I grew so old!
Zhao Yan scolded in her heart.
At this time, another piece of food brought by his subordinates was placed in front of her.
Zhao Yan was about to reach out to take it, but suddenly froze in place.
A series of reactions from the old man flashed through her mind, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
If the other party really didn't want to accept her kindness, why did he take the food, and now he still has a bite.
Took a bite?
Raw bugs?
I heard my father say that there is a small force called Divine Gu nearby, and it seems that he is good at raising insects.
She slammed herself to her feet and shouted, "Don't eat it all!" ”
The guards and men around them all jumped, not understanding what their young lady was suddenly crazy.
"Miss, ...... Yes! ”
Zhao Tai, the chief steward beside him, just wanted to ask, but immediately let out a miserable scream, lying on the ground and rolling on the ground in pain.
Not only him, but in an instant, the entire convoy, more than half of the people fell.
At the same time, the buzzing sound like mosquitoes came from all directions, as if there was a thick darkness in an instant, which was about to completely drown them out.
"Light all the torches! Gather all in the central carriage! Sprinkle with insect repellent powder! ”
Zhao Yan didn't command loudly, but quickly took out a few talismans from his pocket and threw them into the air.
In an instant, ice picks, wind blades, fire trees, and water arrows swept away in all directions.
Large black clouds were shattered, and small black insects fell to the ground.
"Sure enough, it's someone from the Divine Gu Valley!"
Zhao Yan's face was ugly, and she quickly slapped a talisman on her body.
She looked like the other three cultivators in the team, and found that only one of them could barely fight, and the other two had already fallen.
Zhao Yan's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden.
This is the opponent's territory, they themselves do not have an advantage, and now they have been successfully plotted by the other party, and their strongest combat power has been greatly reduced.
As for those guards, they didn't have any combat effectiveness at all, they were brought here to hide people's eyes and ears, and at this time, under the attack of the swarm, they were almost powerless to resist, and they quickly fell most of them.
The strength of these insects is not strong, but it seems to be endless, and soon Zhao Yan will be a little unable to hold on.
And the real disciple hasn't even shown his face.
"I said you're not done? I've said it all, I'm just passing through! ”
Not far away, the old man's impatient voice was heard.
Then suddenly there was an exclamation from the old man.
"My donkey!"
The next moment, a golden light flew out, speeding through the forest, like a golden meteor, and then there was a few pops in the forest, as if the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh and blood.
Buzzing!
The insect swarm, which was originally not afraid of death, suddenly scattered and fled, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Yan did not immediately treat his subordinates, but quickly rushed to the place where the old man made a sound.
At this time, the old man was standing in front of the fallen donkey, and he was chanting words.
"I originally wanted to find you a good family, but now it seems that you can only make donkey meat for fire! Alas! Gee! ”
