Chapter 46: Reaching the Edge of the Wilderness (2nd Watch)
The carriage traveled all the way south, and the pedestrians, vehicles, and adventure teams on the road all gave way, and most of them knew that it was the royal family and nobles when they saw such a metal horse convoy.
The overall convoy looks imposing, I'm afraid the only fly in the ointment is the white horse that Xia Jiang rides, this kind of ordinary white horse is generally a standard civilian configuration, and even some low-level adventurers who go to the wilderness are stronger than him.
Speaking of adventure, Xia Jiang is still quite interested, in his previous life, he was an adventure lover, just because he was helpless to survive, he was entangled in all kinds of trivial matters, and he had no chance to travel around the world until he died, so he could only watch novels, comics, movies and other things in his spare time to fill in his needs. But now it's different, although his strength is still low, at least he doesn't have to worry about survival, plus this world is incomparably huge, it is suitable for adventure.
However, it is important to realize that the people with the highest mortality rate in the world are not the soldiers who fight on the battlefield, but the ...... Adventurer!
"Young master, it's getting late, do you want everyone to stop and rest?" Just as Xia Jiang was thinking about it, the team captain asked on the side.
At this moment, it is completely dark, and although the metal carriage is illuminated with gemstones, it does not rest at night, and it will be dehydrated during the day, which is not conducive to action.
However, when Xia Jiang heard this, he shook his head, he pointed forward and said: "There are still two days to go to the edge of the wilderness, we have to hurry up and spend the time on preparation......" Although he likes to take risks, he still doesn't want to spend time on the meaningless journey, on the way out of the palace to the wilderness, because of their identity, there will be basically no danger, he has to go to the edge of the wilderness and set up camp again.
The captain listened to Xia Jiang's instructions, and without saying much, he immediately commanded the convoy to move forward. In fact, he cared about his master's mood, he didn't really want to go for a day and rest for a night, for them, the royal family's escort team, it was not a problem to sleep for a few days and nights when necessary.
In this way, after receiving Xia Jiang's instructions, the team began to march sleeplessly, at most on the way, each and the horse ate to replenish their physical strength, and then they hurried endlessly.
In the course of two days, the team passed through two small towns and more than a dozen independent villages, which were relatively backward compared to the territories around the palace, but the prices were relatively low, and various important dietary pills and magic weapons were also abundant.
On the third day, as Xia Jiang expected, the team gradually came to the edge of the wilderness, and no matter the main road or small road, the traces of pedestrians were relatively scarce.
Finding a wide flat meadow, Xia Jiang ordered the team to camp here for another day, ready to enter the wilderness.
Originally, the team privately discussed whether the master would be a reckless guy, but now everyone was surprised, but they didn't expect Xia Jiang to be like a general who led his troops to fight, he actually knew to set up camp and prepare first, and let them go out to explore the way, to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Hey, cheer up, you and a detachment of the second team take turns keeping vigil today, but you have to keep an eye on it, not even a single insect can crawl in, you know?" The captain of the first team who was ordered to keep vigil personally inspected the surroundings and came back to say to his subordinates.
"Yes!" several people hurriedly responded.
These people are also members of the first team and the first team, and they and the second team are responsible for the vigil in the future, while the third and fourth teams are responsible for fighting in any situation. Because they are stronger than the three or four teams in terms of strength, the battles with relatively clear goals during the day are handed over to the three or four teams, and the night is different, sometimes there may be nothing, but once there is something, it is definitely much more dangerous than during the day.
"Everyone be careful, although it is only in the fringe area now, you must be careful, especially to ensure the safety of the master......" One of them saw the captain walk away and reminded a few team members in private.
When one person heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say: "By the way, have you heard about the prince's secret fight, it seems that this happened to happen, and the nine kings also left the palace in advance......
"Why haven't I heard of it, I also heard that he defeated his third brother and fourth brother by himself, and the king also let us have a total of four teams to ...... with him" One person seemed to know a lot, and when he said the master, he seemed to feel very lucky.
But when one person saw his appearance, he said disdainfully: "How is it possible, don't they all say that this master is a waste material, I think he relies on the ninth princess to help him, in my opinion, maybe the ninth princess doesn't like the third prince, so she is secretly manipulating behind the scenes, after all, she is the only one who really has the strength to defeat the third and fourth princes!"
When several people heard him say this, their eyes lit up, and they immediately felt that it was not unreasonable, because it was rumored that the ninth princess had always been second only to the eldest prince in strength.
And when it comes to the strength of cultivation, the four teams that King Xia Xiong sent out to follow Xia Jiang this time are all elite guards with a blood compatibility of more than five or more, and there are also captains of four monks who are cultivated, and a captain who is close to a cultivator.
For a small country like Xia Guo, the cultivator-level Cun ZĂ i can directly become a general, just like those veterans who are often around the king, their status is extremely high, and there are no more than ten people in the country, and this captain is the one who is most likely to break through to the cultivator at the moment, which shows that the king attaches great importance to Xia Jiang this time.
These guards on duty inside and outside the palace pay the most attention to their personal cultivation strength, so naturally they are secretly paying attention to their superiors and discussing a lot, how can they not know the strength of these captains. It is also because of this, although these people have not experienced this wild place, they are not too afraid, there is a strong person equivalent to the level of a cultivator to protect them, even if they are double cultivation brute beasts, they have the power to fight.
In this world, there are many levels of beasts. From low to high, they are ordinary beasts, fierce beasts, brute beasts, desolate beasts, spirit beasts, beast kings, beast emperors, divine beasts, etc., and in addition to ordinary beasts, other beasts will consciously look for a cultivation partner for double cultivation, and once it is a fierce beast with a cultivation partner, the strength will be increased to a large level, or even a level stronger than itself.
Before Xia Jiang set off, he also had a detailed understanding, knowing that the most infested in this wild land were fierce beasts and brute beasts, as well as a small number of double cultivation brute beasts that might appear, fierce beasts and people were different, their double cultivation method did not rely on magic weapons, but purely their own bloodline and a kind of core, also called "beast crystal" After exchanging beast crystals, the two beasts will begin to double cultivate, not only sharing their strength with each other, but also producing mutations, appearing much more powerful than the legendary bloodline of the king who has no human bloodline.
At this moment, Xia Jiang is in a very formal house, which is a kind of architectural magic weapon completed by the joint efforts of architects and refiners, after the palm-sized magic weapon is activated, it becomes a house, and the quality of the house formation depends on personal cultivation.
Originally, Xia Jiang wanted to meditate and practice in the house, but the fifteenth sister pestered him and insisted on going out with him to play outside, so that he had to exaggerate the horror of this wild place, which made the other party dispel the idea.
In fact, to be really, Xia Jiang only knows a little about this place.
"Brother Jiu, listen...... When you say that, no one dares to sleep alone, so I'll just sleep with you in the future, okay?"
"Spare Brother Jiu, I can't cultivate if you're here!And Sister Qi, you're not a child now, you're a big girl, can't you just say that you sleep with others, you know?" Xia Jiang continued to meditate with his eyes closed, seizing the time to master the Demon Devouring Sword Technique and prepare for tomorrow's wild journey.
The chess girl in his mouth is the fifteenth princess, the fifteenth princess's name turned out to be Xia Ziqi, and Xia Jiang also just found out.
"I don't know, what kind of big girl and little girl are ugly, they should be the ninth princess!" Xia Ziqi began to emphasize her true identity again.
In fact, Xia Jiang treats her as a child, nothing more than because of the memories of his previous life, he has little contact with girls, and he doesn't know that this world matures much earlier than both men and women, which is why people can join the army at the age of seven or eight, or join their brothers and sisters to train together.
So this Xia Ziqi naturally won't be what Xia Jiang imagined, just a naughty little girl who loves to make trouble.
But obviously, Xia Jiang didn't have the heart to communicate too much with the other party now, just immersed in his own cultivation and dealt with it casually.
In this way, Xia Jiang went from constantly responding perfunctorily, to answering without a word, and then simply ignoring her and cultivating by himself. The latter, seeing that the other party was really cultivating seriously, finally puffed out his cheeks sleepily, shrunk in a corner and fell into a deep sleep naturally.
At night, the detachment that patrolled the first vigil did not dare to relax for a moment, and guarded the surroundings extremely tightly, and did not let a small insect in.
ââââ
And at this moment in the palace prison, someone looked at the top of the dead and tall prison, and his eyes flashed with incomparable resentment.
"Xia Jiang, don't think that we'll be fine if we let us go...... Taking his wife and this revenge in prison, these two accounts will have to be settled with you sooner or later, and with my Xia Huo alive for a day, I will definitely not let you go! And that treacherous slut, fake identity and cultivation......" As the resentment in his eyes became more and more intense, he slammed his fist on the ground of the cage, making a huge metal impact.
At this moment, a few guards outside couldn't help but hear this huge crash, but they didn't react, because they were used to it, and no matter which one was locked up, it was always the prince, they didn't have to, they didn't want to offend.
It was Xia Huo who made this voice of hatred, but Xia Yan in a cage beside him was silent, it seemed that since he was punished for retreat after losing to Xia Jiang a few months ago, he had very few words and even fewer, and he was immersed in cultivation all the time.
Each of these cages is made of special metal, which is not only sturdy and massive, but also almost enclosed, with only a few air holes in the high side corners for ventilation, so that the cages cannot see each other.
Therefore, although Xia Huo on one side was angry, Xia Yan on this side couldn't see him at all, and in the same way, Xia Huo didn't know what Xia Yan, who had been quietly staying in this side of the cage, was doing all along.
