Chapter 358: Seize the weapon
In Refining Weapon City, on the street of the Xiao family's mansion, a luxurious carriage was already waiting outside.
The two guards carried the treasure chest to the carriage, and the groom drove the horse away.
Led by Xiao Yun, Xiao Yan, Qin Nan, and the original dozen or so elders of the Xiao family, more than a dozen masters were divided into two rows, following behind the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves "got it," and the wheels of the car made a "squeak" sound, and under the escort of the Qin family's masters, they headed towards the martial arts club.
Such a large carriage is not used to seat people, but to carry that treasure chest, and this kind of battle can't help but be staggering.
The main purpose of everyone is to protect the treasure chest, which contains the latest artifacts refined by the ancestors of the Xiao family.
While walking, Qin Nan asked Xiao Yan about escorting an artifact to the martial arts auction hall, why was there such a big battle?
I only heard Xiao Yan say solemnly: "Elder Qin, this matter is not trivial, a blacksmith can make several finished products in a day, but refining is different, any refiner, including our Xiao family ancestor, it takes a lot of time and energy to refine a high-grade artifact, and the precious Cheng dΓΉ can be seen." β
Qin Nan listened silently, and Xiao Yan continued: "Why is there such a big battle, the reason has to be said to be the significance of participating in the auction of martial arts, it is held every three months, and the larger families in the refining city will basically participate, in addition to auctioning off the refined artifacts to obtain a large number of yuan stones, it is also a symbol of status, and others will feel that the family that can often participate in the auction is the family that can refine good weapons and be productive, that is, a symbol of strength." β
The procession walked slowly down the long street, and from time to time there were curious glances from people around. But if people who are familiar with it will take it for granted, after all, it is the Xiao family of Refining Weapon City, which phase of the auction will not participate?
Xiao Yan continued: "It is precisely because of the importance of the auction to each family that often on the day of the auction, many ill-intentioned people are ambushed on the road and rob the results of the refining family. β
Speaking of this, Xiao Yan pursed his lips, frowned and said, "If a family can't even protect its own utensils, then it will be a very shameful thing, and the entire family will be ridiculed." β
Hearing this, Qin Nan nodded, it turned out to be like this, no wonder Xiao Yun was willing to spend a lot of money to hire him, it turned out to be to protect the Xiao family for them.
But they only produce one piece in three months, and this production capacity is not high, if you don't engage in other industries, then it will be difficult for a family to feed.
Qin Nan glanced at the treasure chest carried by the two guards, it seemed to be extremely heavy, I don't know what kind of artifact it was, it took three months to refine, and after it was sent to the auction house, how much could it sell for?
Qin Nan retracted his gaze, remained silent, silently followed the team, and walked towards the Martial Arts Society.
Originally, he thought that the Xiao family was not far from the Martial Arts Society, but in fact, the Xiao family was more than ten miles away from the Martial Arts Society. It is equivalent to the fact that the Xiao family is still on the outskirts of the city, not in the main city, and if you want to go to the martial arts meeting, it will take nearly an hour to rush.
With such a long distance, there are barren mountain paths in addition to the streets, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems. Those who want to seize weapons, if they want to deal with the Xiao family, then they will definitely not be stupid enough to do it in a crowded place, but must be on those remote roads.
Thinking of this, Qin Nan suddenly became alert, maybe something big will happen today, it seems that Xiao Yun's money is not so easy to earn, Qin Nan said secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the group followed behind the carriage and left the street into a barren mountain.
The Refining City is very wide, and it is not surprising that there are barren mountains in it.
After going up the barren mountain trail, the formation remained unchanged and slowly moved forward.
Suddenly, Xiao Yun raised his right hand and stopped in place, and the carriage stopped, and everyone in the Xiao family became vigilant.
Qin Nan looked ahead, and after a careful sense, he found that there were people in ambush in the grass a hundred meters away.
"Which kind of friends are they? Xiao Yun said to the front.
As soon as Xiao Yun said this, suddenly, dozens of people jumped out of the grass in front of him, all of them were mighty and strong men, holding long big knives in their hands, reflecting the cold light in the sun.
After those people were discovered, they didn't say a word, they just "roared" and roared and rushed to the carriage, all of them walked steadily, and they seemed to be good practitioners of the family, and the least cultivated ones were all martial artists of seven or eight ranks, and the number was as many as forty or fifty.
"It looks like you're coming for the treasure chest, pay attention to the defense, up. β
Xiao Yun reminded him to pay attention to defense, then took a step back and stood tightly in front of the carriage. With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan and the others rushed out in an instant.
In a few seconds, the two sides clashed, and the dozen or so great martial arts elders of the Xiao family took the lead in rushing into the enemy group and fighting with the other party, Qin Nan and Xiao Yan followed.
Seeing that Qin Nan was not very old, the two mighty men were stunned for a moment, and a trace of hesitation flashed on their faces.
And Qin Nan was also looking at the two of them, at this moment, he suddenly predicted what these two people would do next, these two people would come to attack him, because they thought that they were not very old and could take advantage.
Sure enough, the next moment, they raised the bright long knife in their hands and immediately turned around and pounced on Qin Nan's side.
Qin Nan smiled secretly, stood still, and when the other two rushed in front of him, he made a move. Qin Nan's arms opened and closed, condensing a large amount of martial artist's blood and qi on his arms.
With a soft shout, Qin Nan stepped on the seven-star step, advanced in a curved and strange route, and flashed in front of the two strong men.
Just as the two of them raised their long knives and were about to slash down, Qin Nan's body flashed strangely again, jumped high, and slammed down with an eagle strike.
The two people's long knives slashed into the air, but they didn't slash at Qin Nan's body, and their bodies immediately flashed, wanting to dodge.
Qin Nan's body flew in the air, his legs kicked left and right, and the explosive power of several thousand catties kicked the opponent's head.
rumble
Taking advantage of this gap, Qin Nan stretched out his arms and used the Five Elephant Divine Fist, and in an instant, the phantom of the ancient giant elephant was suspended above his head, accompanied by a roar of the giant elephant, and the shadow of the fist in the sky swayed out, all of which were greeted on the bodies of those two people, and they were instantly knocked away.
"Master Xiao, I'll open the way, you come along, don't delay the best time for the auction. βR1058
