"Da Da Da!"

The crisp sound of horses' hooves echoed through the wilderness.

Xu Anping rode a horse and followed the back of the convoy, looking around from time to time.

Hong Xiaohao was not far from him, and Luo Tianle and Zhong Lei were in front of the convoy.

The convoy has left Heluo City for more than ten miles, and came to an empty and uninhabited hilly area, after the freshness and enthusiasm when the first departure began, everyone gradually became a little tired, and lost interest in talking, and everyone was silently hurrying.

Only the sound of horses' hooves and the rolling of cars echoed in the field.

A certain moment.

Deacon Wan said aloud: "Okay, let's stop for a while, eat some dry food, drink some water, rest on the spot, and then continue on our way after a quarter of an hour." ”

The crowd in the convoy breathed a sigh of relief.

Some simply sat down on the spot, took out dry food and ate it in small bites.

Deacon Wan came to Luo Tianle in front of the convoy and said, "Senior Brother Luo, there is a wide field of vision here, no one around, no bandits will ambush here, you should also take a good rest, so as not to lose your spirit in the future, but affect your safety." ”

Luo Tianle looked around, nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will arrange for you to take turns to rest, Deacon Wan, you can arrange the caravan, and you don't have to worry about a few of us." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to Xu Anping and the others at the back of the convoy from a distance.

This is what they have discussed in advance, when they take a break halfway, they take turns to rest, even in the open field, they can't completely relax their vigilance, at least to ensure that the two of them pay attention to the movements around them.

Seeing the gesture, Xu Anping and the others immediately dismounted, tied the reins to the nearest carriage, and rested on the side.

Although they were not very tired, after eating some dry food and drinking some water, the two of them closed their eyes for a while.

Not long after, the convoy resumed its journey.

Everyone's mental state was refreshed, and the fatigue on their faces subsided a lot.

That's it, stop-and-go.

With the banner of Xuanyuemen, and the shock of the official disciple uniforms of Xuanyuemen on Luo Tianle and the other four, the convoy never encountered any bandits.

This made many people in the team relax a lot, coupled with the long-term rush, physical strength and spirit have been very much consumed, and the spirit of the whole team is obviously a lot worse.

"Cheer up, you can get to Lixiang Town in about an hour and a half."

"Hold on and persevere."

"Before sunset, we must rush to Lixiang Town, otherwise we will have to spend the night in the wilderness."

Deacon Wan cheered everyone on from time to time, but it was still to no avail, including Luo Tianle, the four of them were a little tired, and their vigilance had dropped a lot.

The time came in the afternoon, just as they passed near an unnamed hill.

"Bang!"

Masked figures suddenly flew out of the grove by the side of the road, the blades in their hands glowing in the sunlight.

Xu Anping and others were shocked.

"Enemy attack!!"

Deacon Wan exclaimed:

"Shrink the line of defense, be on emergency alert!"

All the handymen in the convoy hurriedly pulled out their long knives and moved closer to the deacon in the middle in an orderly manner, and the entire convoy began to shrink rapidly.

Xu Anping and the four of them turned over and dismounted as soon as possible, and the long sword in their hands was unsheathed.

There were about a dozen attackers.

Although they are all masked, almost all of them are strong and strong, and they are obviously not good at stubble.

Especially the person in charge, who is nearly two meters tall, burly as a bear, holding a big ring knife, when he runs head-on, it is like a meteor falling on his head, giving people a great sense of oppression.

The masked men rushed out from both sides of the road where the convoy was, with seven or eight people on the left and right.

Losky Lego shouted:

"We deal with the left, you deal with the right! Lawfully kill on sight! Don't be merciful! ”

Although he did not name names, several people understood his arrangement immediately.

Luo Tianle, as the captain and the strongest person in the squad, took the initiative to face several people on the left, including the leader of the masked bandits.

Xu Anping and Hong Xiaohao, who were at the back of the team, only needed to deal with the masked bandits on the right who looked relatively ordinary due to their relatively weak strength.

And the last sentence is that he is worried that Xu Anping will be merciful when he fights for the first time on a combat mission, so he will deliberately advise.

"Kill!"

The leader of the bandits screamed.

The two sides exchanged words in the blink of an eye.

More than a dozen strong masked bandits surrounded Luo Tianle and the four of them, and they had no intention of besieging the convoy at all.

And the many miscellaneous servants in the convoy, although they were armed with swords, were all strictly guarding the carriage, and they also had no intention of stepping forward to help.

This is not that Deacons and others are ruthless or cowardly, but it has always been the norm.

Although there are a large number of miscellaneous servants in the convoy, under the deliberate control of the sect, they basically do not know martial arts, nor are they good at actual combat, and the actual combat effectiveness is not strong at all, and they can only bluff ordinary people with weapons, plus they have the duty of guarding goods, and they basically will not leave the convoy to participate in the battle unless they have to.

What's more, they have a meager salary, so why bother to work hard?

If the escort can stop the bandits, everyone will be happy, and the convoy will move on.

If the escorts can't stop the bandits, they can't change the situation with the car, so it's better to see the right time and prepare to run away.

Therefore.

The four of Xu Anping, who are martial artists of the Cultivation Realm, are the entire defensive force of the entire caravan.

Normally, the number of formal martial artists among the bandits is extremely small, and the four martial artists of the Cultivation Realm are still martial artists with the status of disciples of Xuanyue Sect, which is enough to deter most ordinary bandit forces.

Even if someone dared to attack, the four of them would be able to resist most of the time.

The martial artists of the sect who have mastered the martial arts are much stronger than ordinary people.

"Whew!"

Xu Anping's figure tossed and turned, and a sword silently slashed through the arm of a masked bandit, and then dodged the attack of the other two bandits.

One-on-one battles and besieged battles are very different experiences.

In order to deliberately hide his strength, Xu Anping only used about half of his strength, and his martial arts deliberately pretended not to be so proficient, and his movements were much sluggish.

With such strength, if you fight against a fierce beast, you may be able to entangle you back and forth for a while.

But under the siege of several masked bandits whose strength was far inferior to that of the fierce beast, it was already a little difficult to resist.

His gaze quietly swept over several other battlefields, and he saw that the battle between Luo Tianle and the three of them seemed to have fallen into a brief stalemate.

Zhong Lei killed a masked bandit, and the situation seemed to be slightly advantageous.

And the situation between Luo Tianle and Hong Xiaohao doesn't seem to be very good.

Especially Luo Tianle, under the siege of the masked bandit leader and several subordinates, it was very difficult to support, and it seemed that he could be defeated at any time.

"The strength of this masked bandit seems to be very strong, with Luo Tianle's performance, if it is one-on-one, there may still be a certain hope of winning, and if he is besieged, I am afraid he will not last long."

"If this continues, it won't be long before our side loses."

"Do you want to expose your strength......

Xu Anping was entangled for a while.

At this moment, his gaze inadvertently swept over the convoy, and he saw Deacon Wan looking anxious, looking wildly in a certain direction.
