Chapter 50: The Five Horses of Higashino
The caravan looked like more than 30 people, and about 20 of them were mortals who had not cultivated. Six of the eight guards have a psychic period and two have a psychic period. Such a configuration is actually quite powerful, after all, the goods this time are still quite valuable. Cheng Lu, who was in charge of escorting Tongmingshi at the beginning, was only a ninth-order in the Imperial Spirit Realm, and there were not many mysteries above the Imperial Spirit.
The mysteries are all general-level existences in the Rising Sun City. The life span of a mortal is 100, and the life span of a mysterious person is 500, this five-fold gap is already equivalent to two species, and the vast majority of people will not be able to step into the Xuanmen for a lifetime. The most fundamental reason is that the alchemist of the fifth grade can refine the fifth grade into the Xuandan, and the entry into the Xuandan can improve the probability of entering the Xuandan, so it is very precious.
Zhan Yue rode a horse and followed the caravan, and he soon found out that the black-robed man before was also in the caravan. The black-robed man also spotted Zhan Yue, and then kicked the horse under him and came to Zhan Yue.
"Mr. Zhan, we meet again." The black-robed man made a hoarse voice.
"I've seen my seniors, and the Wind Pill after the seniors guided me last time was indeed effective." Zhan Yue said politely, but he was curious that Deacon Luo didn't seem to follow.
The black-robed man nodded and asked, "You are also planning to go to Pearl City to participate in the auction?" ”
Zhan Yue didn't hide it, and nodded, "To prepare for the four-grade alchemist, the medicinal materials should be collected well in advance." By the way, senior, what kind of city is Pearl City? ”
The black-robed man didn't expect Zhan Yue to ask this, but he also patiently explained: "Pearl City is located in the southeast of the Eastern Kingdom, built near the sea, and is the most important port city in the Eastern Kingdom, which is very prosperous. If the imperial capital is the political center of the eastern kingdom, and the academic capital is the cultural center, then the Pearl City is the center of trade. ”
Zhan Yue nodded, no wonder that kind of large-scale auction would be held in Pearl City.
The land route from Qianyu City to Pearl City is very smooth, and there are not many post stations along the way, this trip is very safe, but Zhan Yue is faintly uneasy in his heart, as if he is being peeped at by a tiger wolf.
"What's that mountain up ahead?" Zhan Yue saw the towering peaks in front of him, and there were such continuous mountains on the open plains.
"It's the Tenjin Mountains, we don't cross from there, we only go around from the foot of the edge of the mountain. Legend has it that this mountain range was not created naturally, but was moved here artificially. Of course, this is just a legend, and I'm not sure, but it's really strange that there are such majestic mountains in the middle of the plains. The black-robed man explained.
"Moved here?" Zhan Yue gasped, what kind of god can move mountains? When I am free in the future, I have to go to this Tianshan Mountain Range to have a look, and maybe I can find something in the ruins.
The so-called Wangshan runs dead horses, they walk from early morning to the afternoon before entering the foot of the mountain, they don't need to climb the mountain, the official road is around the mountain range, it is very spacious. The road is wide, but the terrain is treacherous, with mountains on the left and cliffs on the right, and a rushing river at the bottom of the cliffs. However, the people of this world are not afraid of any cliffs, and the danger is only for mortals.
"When you walk out of here along this river, you will arrive at Wangshan Station, and you can rest well when you get there today." The black-robed man explained that everyone still insisted on the principle of not spending the night in the wilderness.
The majestic mountains on the side were very quiet, only the sound of horses' hooves on the road, Zhan Yue frowned, and the feeling of being peeped at was even more obvious.
The sound of horses echoed down the valley, and the carriage at the front stopped, followed by the behind. But he saw five tall horses stop in front of the group. On the back of the five huge horses, sat five sturdy men, all bare-armed, with hats and hats, and fierce eyes.
"Higashino Goma? How did they get here? There was a worried look in the black-robed man's eyes.
"Huh? Are there still robbers blocking the way? Zhan Yue wondered.
"Naturally, there is, but not much, at the beginning of the Night Monarch's difficulty, the Night Monarch and his Ninety-Nine Demons captured the major prisons, and released a large number of prisoners from the prisons of the Eastern Kingdom and the Chaoyang Kingdom. Dongguo has struck many times, but every time they commit a crime, they will be far away and difficult to trace. After the disappearance of the Night Monarch, most of the ninety-nine demons were killed, and they were all hidden, but they didn't expect this Dongye Five Horses to dare to appear. The black-robed man explained.
"Higashino Five Horses are Ninety-Nine Demons?" Zhan Yue exclaimed.
"That's not it, the ninety-nine demons refer to the ninety-nine mysteries under the command of the Night Monarch, these five people are just the subordinates of the ninety-nine demons, if it is five mysteries, we will directly kill ourselves. They are afraid that they are very cunning now, and they dare not come out to make trouble, but let their chess pieces come out disgusting. Higashino Five Horses are five robbers and bandits who are active outside Higashino City.,They were all caught.,Saved when they were beheaded.,I didn't expect to be here now.。 The black-robed man said, "These five people are extraordinary, we will try to escape as much as possible later, and it will be safe to run to Wangshan Station." ”
Zhan Yue looked at the black-robed man speechlessly, this black-robed man didn't seem to be weak, why did he think about running away.
The black-robed man was furious by Zhan Yue, and explained with a red face: "Although I am a ninth-order imperial spirit, I have hardly ever fought, and I am dedicated to studying Dan Dao, and I am not good at martial arts, so I can't help much." ”
"I see." Zhan Yue nodded slightly, no wonder he wanted to run before he fought, it seemed that he really couldn't fight.
The person in charge of the caravan was also a master of the sixth order of the Imperial Spirit, dressed in a flower robe, and his body was a little bloated, he walked up, arched his hand to the five people and said, "Five, please accept these road money, we all know the rules." The fat man in the robe threw a package to the man in the center of the five.
The man took the package but didn't look at it, and asked, "Are you from the Wanju Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"Exactly." The fat man in the robe is not afraid, and the Wanju Chamber of Commerce is the name card.
"That's right, the president of the Wanju Chamber of Commerce has publicly insulted His Majesty the Night King, and the boss has confessed, and anyone who encounters the Wanju Chamber of Commerce will be killed!" The man laughed.
"This!" The fat man in the flower robe immediately lost his mind when he heard this, these five people are famous for their fierceness, and they are all strong people in the Imperial Spirit Realm. The strongest boss is already the ninth order of the Imperial Spirit.
"You... You're so bold. The guards rushed forward, but in the face of these five fierce and vicious people, the eight guards were a little timid.
"Brothers, the men are killed, and the women are rushed up the mountain. This Tianshen Mountain Range is deep and densely forested, and those mediocre soldiers and inferior generals in the eastern kingdom do not want to find us. "The boss gave the order and began to slaughter the caravan.
"These five people are all damned people, and no one will hold me accountable if they kill them, right?" Zhan Yue asked the black-robed man on the side, his right hand had quietly condensed flames.
"What do you want to do? We're no match for them, so let's get out of the way as soon as possible. The black-robed man said, she herself had already taken a few amplification pills and was ready to flee for her life at any time.
"Where did the thief come from, there are seniors here, you still dare to be presumptuous!" Zhan Yue suddenly roared loudly, with his voice, the eyes of the five horses were really attracted.
"Yo, there are even masters hidden in the caravan, second, follow me over and kill this Ninth Order of the Imperial Spirit first." The eldest and second fast horses rushed towards the black-robed man.
"You—" The black-robed man looked at Zhan Yue in anger.
"The seniors delayed the two of them for a few breaths, and I solved the problem and the others came to help you. This is the method with the fewest casualties. Zhan Yue avoided it and walked forward. The two horses naturally didn't take Zhan Yue, a psychic sixth-order psychic in their eyes, and they all went towards the black-robed man.
"Bastard!" The black-robed man bit his silver teeth, then took out a handful of pills and threw them at the two of them, the purple smoke exploded, and when the two of them burst out of the purple smoke, the two horses had already fallen to the ground and neighed.
Affected by this purple smoke, the two of them only felt itchy and unbearable, and they had no desire to attack for a while, and stopped their luck to force back the poisonous gas in their bodies. While the black-robed man dragged the two strongest men, Zhan Yue joined the battlefield ahead, and those guards were already fighting with the remaining three horses.
The figure disappeared, and the ghost appeared behind a person, who had already dismounted, holding a bone flute in his hand, which was his contract, and the large-scale attack of the sound rhythm was very powerful.
Zhan Yue, who was on the ground, suddenly appeared behind the man, and the flame that had been compressed for a long time in his hand shot out like a rocket, instantly piercing the man's heart from the back. The man with the flute fell down in bewilderment. I obviously have a lot of means that I haven't used, why did I die so hastily?
"One!" Zhan Yue said calmly, the first time he killed someone with a clear consciousness, the blood in his body was a little boiling, he seemed to be a natural cold-blooded killer, without the slightest fear.
"Fifth brother!" The two people around saw that the fifth brother was killed, and they were shocked, and the two forcibly killed the surrounding guards and killed Zhanyue, determined to avenge their brother. One of them made a contract with a kitchen knife, which was extremely sharp, and the other was a sickle, which was extremely fast, and before they became the deed holders, they were just ordinary villagers.
The two of them killed Zhan Yue left and right, but no matter how they slashed, they couldn't hurt Zhan Yue for half a point, but in the eyes of others, it was the two of them who were slashing indiscriminately, and they didn't slash at Zhan Yue at all.
"Yaoguangbu is so strong, fortunately, I killed the person with the flute in seconds, and I can't dodge his large-scale attack." At the same time as Zhan Yue exerted his body, he finally counterattacked, condensed the fire into a sword in his hand, and came behind a person who escaped to the ground, this sword was narrowly avoided by that person, but he was still injured in the waist.
"Third brother, be careful, this person will teleport." The seriously injured man immediately retreated and was protected by his third brother.
The sneak attack failed, Zhan Yue sighed, and the illusion sword technique shot in front of people for the first time. The third child watched Zhan Yue stab at his head, he hurriedly turned his head, only to see that the fire sword had pierced his heart.
"It's... What's going on? This was his biggest question before he died. The subtlety of the golden martial arts is what they can know.
"Okay, this waist is badly injured and handed over to you." Zhan Yue immediately ran towards the black-robed man. Although the rest of the guards looked at each other, they still reacted and swarmed the wounded.
"Two fools, don't you know who we're the strongest here? Look back at your three younger brothers. The black-robed man looked at the two people who were constantly approaching him and complained, she was very fast and reacted quickly after taking the pill, and there was no injury at all.
When the two looked back, they saw that their fourth brother was hacked to death by a group of guards, and the third and fifth children had already fallen to the ground.
"Fourth brother!" The two of them were stunned, put down the black-robed man and killed him. On the way, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the ground and grabbed the feet of the two, and the two fell to the ground one after another.
