Tormont nodded, didn't say anything more, and accepted it.

Demon went on to talk about other things, including the necromantic creatures that were common in the Death Tunnels, and the last few men mounted their horses and drove away in the dust.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the spring sun hung high in the sky.

Leo was riding on horseback and felt like the inside of his legs was bleeding.

Although he knew how to ride a horse, he had never ridden for such a long time. For the entire eight hours, the team rested only twice, each time for no more than a quarter of an hour, and there was not much time to recover.

Turning their heads to look, most of the others looked normal, and they didn't even feel tired, even the girl Charlotte was in high spirits.

In this case, it is obvious that you will not stop until you reach your destination.

There was no way, Leo had no choice but to instantly send out a level 0 magic crust again. Although the effect of this magic is mediocre, it can barely reduce some friction, which is better than nothing.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, and the originally clear sky began to turn gray.

Leo let out a long sigh, it seemed that he had entered the range of the Gray Canyon, so he was reluctant to go from the death tunnel.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

Demont, who was at the front, hurriedly raised his hand, and the whole team slowly stopped.

"What's going on?" Charlotte asked with a shrill cry, in the middle of the line and with average eyesight, so he couldn't see what was going on in front of him.

Leo plucked his ear, which was stabbed by the sound, and said, "Someone is coming, and there are quite a few of them." ”

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and looked hard, and finally found that there were indeed many figures on the horizon, which made her nervous when she had lived in the chaotic western exile since she was a child.

"Where did they come from, and what do they want to do?"

Without waiting for Leo to answer, Demon's voice came: "Everyone stay here, I'll go and see first." ”

Subsequently. He rode his horse forward, and the ten knights of the Thunder Family also divided two to protect his left and right flanks, forming a defensive formation to follow.

Soon, the two sides approached within a dangerous distance of twenty meters.

Charlotte clenched her fists tightly, very worried about her brother's safety, and kept muttering, "They don't dare to do it...... They didn't dare to do it...... This is the family's control area......"

Seeing her like this, Leo smiled secretly and said, "Mr. Demont will be fine." ”

"How do you know?" Charlotte asked, looking up at Leo, puzzled.

"You've heard that horse thieves don't ambush. Is it something stuck in the road?" asked Leo rhetorically.

Charlotte blinked, and suddenly came to her senses, but when she looked at the group of people in front of her, she became more and more confused: "Then what are they doing, why are they stopping us?"

In fact, Leo had already guessed, so he smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, they are in some kind of Cheng dù, very close to our purpose." ”

Charlotte still didn't understand and was about to continue asking. Demont in front of him suddenly raised his fist.

"The palm of the hand is...... Dangerous...... One finger is to be on guard...... The fist is ...... Safety?"

As Charlotte muttered, the others had already taken control of their horses and moved forward, and by the time the girl looked up, she was the only one left around.

But they didn't come closer. Rather, it was about twenty meters away from Demon. This is a constant tradition in the Western Exiles, and the proximity is so close that if anyone does not calm down, it may directly cause a terrible conflict.

"Oops. Why don't you call me when you leave?" Charlotte shouted angrily, kicked the horse in the stomach with both legs, and hurriedly followed.

Walk up to the group. Charlotte realized that her brother was talking to one of those men.

"What the hell is going on?" the girl asked Leo in a low voice.

Leo arrived a little earlier than her, and had already learned what had happened from the previous conversation, so he patiently replied, "These people heard that the Thunder Family organization was going to the Death Tunnel, and they also organized themselves and arrived a day early. ”

"They?" Charlotte looked at the twenty or thirty people dressed differently in front of her, her face full of disbelief, "How do these guys look like they have strength?"

"That scared your little face out just now. Leo sneered, and stopped talking to Charlotte, but continued to listen to Demont talk to the man in front of him.

It can be seen that the person in the lead is likely to be a native. The brownish-red skin, similar to the color of the soil in the Western Exiles, and extremely rough and lean due to years of wind and sand, but it does not feel weak, but is full of explosive power.

His eyes are brown, and when he speaks, he always squints slightly, giving people the feeling of walking on the tip of a knife for many years.

At this moment, the man in the lead was talking endlessly: "Young Master Demeng, although we have not worked together and have not had any contact, but you grew up in Moon Lake, you should know that I have been in business for many years. These days, I have been begging for a life in Moon Lake, and you brothers have already known me as a person, so you should have heard of it.

Hearing him say this, the strong man Tolman immediately pursed his lips, and was about to make a sarcastic speech, but was stopped by the people around him.

The half-elf shook his head with a stern expression, and then quickly regained his appearance.

However, Tolman closed his mouth obediently, and then muttered in a low voice: "Grandma's, that's right here, if it's in Quicksand City, I'll have to beat them up! When will the dogs dare to block the way?"

Seeing this scene, Leo's evaluation of the half-elf and the strong man improved by a leap of one degree.

It can be seen that the half-elf is definitely not as frivolous as it seems, and although the strong man is a little reckless, it is also very surprising that he can accept the half-elf's construction.

"They're not ordinary people. Leo said to himself.

............

In fact, according to the usual practice of the Western Exile Territory, it should have been directly drawn and the war should have been drawn at this time. However, the Moon Lake area, which is close to the east, is relatively mild, and the Thunder family has always prided itself on being a civilized nobleman. It was clearly this that Murafa seized on and dared to stop them on the road.

Demont said to Murafa: "I have indeed heard of your reputation, but this matter is not for me to decide after all. ”

As soon as he said this, the people behind Murafa immediately clamoured.

"Master Demont. Brother Murafa has indeed been abiding by the law in recent years. ”

"You can't trust Brother Mulafa, can't you trust us? We're all old residents of Moon Lake!"

"This time the Thunder family eats meat, can't we drink soup with it?"

"That's right, the Thunder family is strong, and they are all good players, are you afraid that we will eat you?"

In the face of the excitement of the crowd, Demon did not panic at all, and said calmly: "Everyone, let's discuss this matter first. And then I'll give you an answer, how about it?"

His voice was not loud, but it had a peculiar rhythm, easily overshadowing the chatter in front of him.

But only a few people noticed this, and everyone else was still excited.

Immediately, several more people shouted.

"What's there to talk about?"

"yes, we're all here, do you want us to keep waiting?"

"Master Demont, if you are happy. Just give me a good word!"

Murafa allowed these people to make noise, and there was no doubt that he was putting pressure on Demon.

As the minutes ticked by, Demon still kept a peaceful smile. There was no displeasure at all.

"Little cub, you're pretty good at pretending. Murafa snorted inwardly, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand to stop the noise. He said, "Then please ask Young Master Demeng to discuss it as much as possible, I hope you can give us a satisfactory answer." ”

Demont nodded, and retreated twenty meters. Come to the crowd.

Xia Luo asked urgently, "Brother, what do they want?"

Demont said helplessly: "They don't dare to enter the canyon alone, and they can't deal with the skeleton guards and necromantic enchantments at the entrance, so they want to join us." ”

Charlotte immediately frowned, and said in disgust: "Absolutely not! Those people are not a good thing at first glance, in case they make small moves behind our backs, it will be too dangerous!"

Demont nodded, not responding, but looked around and asked, "What do you think?"

"If you want me to say, just kill them all. Tolman looked at Murafa not far away, his eyes shining fiercely.

The half-elf glanced at him disdainfully, and said, "Kill, you go and kill, I want to see if you can kill them all by yourself." ”

"Don't go too far! Lao Tzu's patience has a limit!" Tolman looked fierce.

The half-elf didn't care, and smiled, as if the other party's threat was just a breeze.

Ignoring the two of them, Demont fixed his gaze on Alfalfa.

"It's a hassle. The woman shook her head, as always, with few words and no constructive advice.

When it was Iron Fist, he laughed and said: "I know a few people in there, and when the wind is down, they rush up and are better than anyone else." When the wind is headwinding, he runs faster than anyone else. If our next actions can be carried out smoothly, then it doesn't matter, at most it is to guard against them, if there is a strong enemy, not only do we not want to count on them, I am afraid that we will have to worry about the impact of the team and cause a rout. ”

This kind of analysis is in place, and it is also in line with Demon's thoughts, but it also makes him more and more headaches.

The captain of the cavalry squad also came up and said in a low voice, "Young master, they are not many in number, if we launch a charge, at most twice, we can expel them and scatter them." ”

Hearing this, Demeng was obviously moved, but he quickly gave up, and said with a wry smile: "It's not difficult to drive them away, but it's hard to ensure that there is no damage, and these guys are all ground snakes, if they return to Moon Lake Town, I'm afraid it won't have a good impact on the family." In this situation, we should try to avoid this kind of thing. ”

"The young master is right. The squad leader nodded and retreated into the group.

At this time, Leo, who had not spoken, spoke: "Actually, it is not without benefit to let them follow us. ”

"Huh?"

"What do you mean?"

Several people turned their eyes to it.

Leo sorted out his words a little and explained: "Since they are here, they definitely don't want to go home empty-handed, although there are some valuable things in the canyon, it is impossible to concentrate them in one place. When we get inside, these people will inevitably scatter, which will indirectly help us find out what is going on around us. ”

"I'm afraid that if the corpse witch appears, after these people are killed, they will become his help. Demont raised his concerns.

Leo had already had an idea, and in order to prevent those people from having special ears, he also deliberately protected a simple soundproof barrier, so he replied: "This is not difficult to control, we can ask them to act in the form of a squad, if one of them has a problem, the others can immediately kill them, and in case of a situation, they can also be notified in time." At the same time, they don't come together and they don't make a shock to us. ”

Iron Fist touched his bearded chin and muttered, "Well, that's a good idea, but will they listen?" They could tell at a glance that we were going to tear them apart. ”

"It only takes a few messages and they'll do it themselves. Leo said with a smile.

"What's the news?" asked Demon hurriedly.

Leo glanced back and saw that there was nothing unusual about those people, and he should not be able to eavesdrop on the voices in the enchantment, so he said: "For example, the necromantic creatures in the canyon generally need three people to deal with. For example, a document is often only enough for three people to divide it equally. I think as a mage, I guess I have some credibility in what I say. ”

"Good, good, good!" Tolman applauded, looking at Leo with respect in his eyes. People say that the mages are smart people, and it doesn't seem to be bragging, at least he can't think of such a plan anyway.

Several others also nodded frequently, obviously agreeing with Leo's statement.

Charlotte then figured out what Leo meant by what he said before, it seemed that people already knew what those people wanted to do.

Thinking of this, the girl wrinkled her nose and whispered: "If you can come up with such a bad plan, you will be a bad person at first glance." ”

Leo then added: "Of course, this information should not be revealed, so that they will think that we have accidentally leaked it. This requires superb acting skills, otherwise once exposed, it will only backfire, arouse their vigilance and suspicion, and cause us strict constraints. ”

The half-elf laughed: "I'm doing this, what do you say, I'll cooperate with you." ”

Leo didn't answer, but looked at Demon, and the final decision was still up to him.

Demont knew that this was indeed the best way for now, and he no longer hesitated, and nodded, "Okay, then do this, I'll go and tell them later, and then get back on the road." Mr. Mars and Mr. Bugs are responsible for letting them know the fake news. (To be continued.)
