Chapter 23: Leaving the Dog Behind
Two days later, under the leadership of an official disciple of the sect, including Zhao Ping'an and Wang Cripple, eight miscellaneous disciples of the medicine garden transported the corresponding medicine materials and officially set off from the medicine garden.
According to Zhao Ping'an's knowledge, there were a lot of medicines and materials escorted this time, so the sect specially arranged for a formal disciple to be fully responsible for preventing any accidents on the road.
This official disciple's name is Tian De, and he is taciturn, giving people the impression that he is not good at words.
After leaving the medicine garden, everyone did not fly, but rode a spirit horse that was not slow.
The pony resembles a horse, but has far more stamina and speed than a normal horse.
Behind the group, there were also three carriages pulled by spirit foals, which were filled with heavy supplies.
"To transport such a quantity of materials, the Sword Sect only uses the spirit horse carriage to transport it, isn't there a corresponding flying magic weapon?"
Zhao Ping'an frowned secretly, such a lineup of transporting materials is inevitably a little too obvious, once it approaches the place where the two sects are fighting, it is difficult to avoid being discovered by someone with a heart.
"Ping, what are you thinking?"
Noticing that Zhao Ping'an was a little dull, the lame man next to him asked.
Zhao Ping'an did not hide it and expressed his doubts.
"Ping'an, do you think the sect doesn't want to use flying magic weapons to transport medicines and supplies?"
"Do you know that even if the magic weapon that can fly is a little worse, it is a high-grade magic weapon, and there are only a handful of them in the entire sect."
"The sect uses the sword as the inheritance, and the most scarce thing is things like magic weapons and talismans."
The cripple shook his head and explained.
Don't look at him as a sweeping miscellaneous disciple, but in terms of qualifications, he is older than most of the formal disciples in the sect, and he has a good understanding of the situation of the Sword Sect.
Take the transportation of medicines and materials as an example, in addition to the lack of flying magic weapons, the sect also lacks corresponding storage magic weapons.
Otherwise, if there is a storage weapon suitable for the storage space, you can directly put the medicine and materials into it, and you can easily bring it to the front battlefield, why waste so much manpower in vain?
"I see."
Zhao Ping'an was a little stunned.
To put it bluntly, the Sword Sect is still too poor, and if it has a lot of money, there is no need to spend manpower on transporting medicines and materials like this.
Of course, this kind of "poor" is only relative to other immortal cultivation sects, for individual immortal cultivators, even if the Sword Sect is weak, it is also a behemoth with a foundation.
The conversation between the two can't be hidden from others.
Tian De glanced at the two of them, silently and did not say anything, as for the other miscellaneous disciples, they were talking in a low voice.
……
Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and the group chose a suitable place to rest.
"Senior Brother Tian, dare to ask how far this place is from the frontier?"
A sturdy miscellaneous disciple stepped forward respectfully and asked Tian De.
His name is Gou Wenbin, and although he was also arranged by lottery to participate in this transportation mission, he was not as depressed as other miscellaneous disciples, but was quite enthusiastic along the way.
"At today's forward speed, we will be able to reach the front of the sect in three days."
Tian De sat down cross-legged and responded lightly.
"Three days?"
The miscellaneous disciples all looked at each other, if according to what Tian De said, then this trip would take six days to go back and forth, and it would be good if there was no accident, otherwise, then everyone would lose more than they gained.
It was only at this moment that everyone realized that why most of the miscellaneous disciples refused to participate in the task of transporting supplies was not as simple as they imagined.
Not only is it time-consuming, but also extremely dangerous, if it weren't for the high spirit stone reward given by the sect, I'm afraid few people would be willing to take the initiative to participate.
As if sensing everyone's emotions, Tian De glanced at everyone, and immediately took out a handful of spirit stones from the miniature storage he carried with him.
"Five spirit stones for each of you."
As Tian De's words fell, everyone had five more spirit stones in their hands.
"It's a spirit stone."
"Great."
Wang Cripple, who was originally not in a high mood, instantly became a little excited when he saw the shining spirit stone in his hand.
You must know that when the spirit room issued spirit stones every month, he could only take seven or eight spirit stones at most, and more often, he could only take five or six spirit stones.
On the first day of escorting the medicine and supplies, Tian De distributed a month's worth of spirit stones to the miscellaneous disciples.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Tian."
Except for Zhao Ping'an, who was quite calm, the rest of the miscellaneous disciples, similar to Wang Cripple, all became extremely happy, and even diluted the dissatisfaction just now.
"As long as you follow me to deliver this batch of medicines, you can get additional spirit stone rewards every day."
Tian De's face was expressionless, and he immediately closed his eyes and settled down after speaking.
"This Senior Brother Tian is generous."
Zhao Ping'an was keenly aware that something was wrong, under normal circumstances, shouldn't the miscellaneous disciples be able to obtain the reward of the spirit stone after the medicine and materials were delivered in place?
But listening to what Tian De said, as long as the group honestly followed him to deliver medicine and materials, they could get an additional reward of five spirit stones every day.
"It seems that this mission to deliver supplies and medicines may be more dangerous than imagined." Zhao Ping'an was thoughtful.
If the spirit stone is compared to money, then Tian De's hand is equivalent to using money to stabilize people's hearts.
Under what circumstances is it necessary to be so strong? It must be on the premise of perceiving the danger.
Next, Tian De did not break his promise, and would distribute spirit stones to the group every day that passed.
Soon, the time came to the third day.
"You all cheer up, in less than an hour, you will be at the forefront of the sect."
"As long as the medicine supplies are delivered smoothly, your task will be completed."
In the wilderness, Tian De led the way in front, followed by Zhao Ping'an and other miscellaneous disciples, after two or three days of running, everyone was a little tired.
Zhao Ping'an's mental state is not bad, he who cultivates the "Immortal Sword Technique", his blood is full and strong, and he does not feel tired and tired.
Moreover, in the past three days, Zhao Ping'an can also take advantage of everyone's rest to silently make a few powerful talismans.
……
"It's almost there."
After bypassing a chaotic stone forest, Tian De breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, and he arrived at the front of the sect not far ahead.
Zhao Ping'an followed the prestige, and saw a hillside in the distance, which was full of verdant green, dense and vigorous trees everywhere, full of vitality.
"Great, it's almost here."
"The trip was safe and sound."
The lame king also smiled, and finally relaxed.
The other miscellaneous disciples also cheered, letting go of their anxiety and vigilance in the past few days.
Bang!
Just as everyone was relaxing, the ground suddenly cracked, and more than a dozen rockets with high temperatures quickly attacked the escort team at a tricky angle.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
Tian De's face changed suddenly, and he shouted angrily.
"Protecting pharmaceutical supplies."
The miscellaneous disciples were shocked and confused, but they still subconsciously protected the three carriages behind them.
There are sword shadows dancing, there are mana qi covers stretched, and everyone uses their own means to defend.
"Puff, puff......"
Even though Tian De reminded him in time, there were still three miscellaneous disciples who were a little slower, and the rockets that burst were pierced through their chests on the spot, and they fell directly to their deaths.
"Damn!"
The king's face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he ran down from the spirit horse.
At the critical moment, Zhao Ping'an directly pulled him and avoided several rockets that passed by.
Zhao Ping'an, who is a human being in two lives, has a very strong divine sense, and has already made a judgment in advance since the moment the accident happened, so he responded very calmly and calmly.
"The rabbit cubs of the Sword Sect, if you want to transport the medicine materials to the front, have you asked us if the Frost Moon Sect agrees?"
"Today, not only did I rob you of your medicines and supplies, but your dog's life must also be left behind."
On the left and right sides, three people flashed out, carrying weapons and killing the transport team that was overturned on their backs.
The person at the head was very lean and strong, carrying a black spear, and went straight to Tian De.
His face was cold, and the mana fluctuations he emitted had reached the seventh level of qi refining.
"With the black spear as a weapon, are you Wang Chun, an official disciple of the Frost Moon Sect?"
Tian De's face was pale, shocked and angry.
