Chapter Forty-Seven: The Adventure Party That Dare Not Go Forward (Three Watches)
Early in the morning, Xia Jiang finished his meditation, opened his eyes, and saw that the world around him was a little different, and it felt as clear as when Xia Yun'er was by his side. During this day and night of meditation, he comprehended the Demon Devouring Sword Technique and the Heart Method, and felt that under the guidance of the bloodline, he could feel the power of all things in nature to the greatest extent with the Demon Devouring Heart Method.
After entering the deepest state, he felt like a super energy sensing instrument, able to feel the energy particles stored in every inch of space around him, this feeling was extremely rare, but it took a long time of meditation and meditation to be able to enter, it seemed that his cultivation was still not enough, otherwise he should be able to enter that state soon.
After moving his body slightly, Xia Jiang stood up and saw that the fifteenth princess Xia Ziqi was actually sleeping in his room. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, Xia Jiang simply carried her to her sleeping bunk, cautiously, but knew that she wouldn't sleep for long, and they were about to set off.
When I came outside, I saw the captains of the third and fourth teams standing at the door, and they were all ready to go.
"What's the situation nearby?" looked at the sky, Xia Jiang found that the sky was not very good today, and they all said that the climate in the wild land was abnormal, and it was really not bad.
"The patrol team of the first and second groups came to report that several adventuring teams were found last night, and there was no sign of movement until this morning, and it was said that they were waiting for more teammates to gather, but one member saw that someone in their team was injured and suspected that something had happened to them......"
It was the captain of the fourth team who spoke, and the captain of the third team on the side saw that he finished speaking, and added: "Young master, my subordinates suspect that those adventurous teams are lying, there must be something strange ahead, they may be trying to trick us into coming forward and help them clear the danger!"
Hearing this, Xia Jiang thought it was possible, according to the adventure teams he had seen recently, they were all small teams with low strength, and they should be those who came to the wilderness to try their luck and make money by doing tasks.
"Young master, do you want to hurry now?" said the captain of the fourth team, glancing around, everyone was already preparing to clean up.
"Well......" Xia Jiang listened to the room and found that Xia Ziqi was still sleeping, and he didn't know how late this little ghost slept last night, so he thought about it and said, "It's better to be careful if you send two more teams to explore about three kilometers in other directions." ”
"Hmm...... Be. The two looked at each other slightly, and then walked away to give orders to investigate.
At this moment, in a weedy bush three miles away, more than a dozen people were half-camped here, observing the surrounding movements at all times.
These are the adventure teams reported by the captains of the four teams, and it can be seen from the different decorations on their costumes that they are three different adventure teams.
In this world, there is such a profession as adventurers, who are responsible for doing things that ordinary monks want to do but dare not do, in order to get paid. The adventure team has a minimum of five people, and they can register and obtain certification in any adventure guild alliance to accept various tasks announced by the local guild.
At this moment, these adventurous teams gathered here, and those who know know at a glance that they are in trouble, and hiding here is not to be afraid of anything, but to avoid the sight of other adventurous teams and achieve some kind of purpose.
"Hey, I said you, didn't I say that your boss would come over soon? Why didn't you see anyone for a long time? and said there was nothing ahead?" said a man who seemed to have just joined the makeshift team, to someone in the other team.
"I didn't lie to you, we haven't been to the front at all, and I don't know if there is danger in front, and you look at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain, it is estimated that our boss predicted that the sky would change, and he was busy buying rain gear, so it was late. Seeing that the other party didn't believe his words, one person quickly explained.
As soon as the man had finished saying this, the sky began to rain, first little by little, then faster and faster, and soon it became a heavy rainstorm.
"Oooh...... Everyone, open the house magic weapon quickly, don't get drenched in the rain!" Seeing the heavy rainstorm coming, a person who seemed to be the captain hurriedly said to a few people around him.
On one side, one of the two teams also signaled, and after a while, the team dispersed and threw out the house magic weapons of each team.
Now just look at the three house magic weapons thrown by these teams, you can distinguish the strength of these people's teams, because these house magic weapons are the lowest and most affordable one, but they are purely large in size, and there are only a few wooden beds in them, and there are no extra facilities.
Standing at the window of the house, one person couldn't help but hammer the palm of the other hand with his fist, and said depressedly: "Damn, it's all exposed now, wait for someone to come over, and you will know that there is a situation in front of you at a glance, if we all nest here, we won't be able to complete the task, if we break the contract again this time, the two-star that our Star Peak Adventure Group has managed to reach will be reduced back to one star!"
Several people in the room also sighed, each of them was silent and did not speak, and they did not know what they were thinking.
At this time, I saw two figures walking towards them on the main road outside their houses outside the window, and I saw that they were wearing a big cloak to prevent rain, and they were not attacked by the rain in the rain, and they looked like people with identity or origin.
Seeing this, this man who seemed to be the boss of this small adventure group had his eyes shining, and he was secretly preparing his "deception" strategy.
The two people wearing large rainproof cloaks were part of the members of the team sent by the four teams to explore the way, and they saw that there was a magic weapon of the house here, and they hurriedly came to investigate.
About half an hour later, they returned to their camp from there.
"Report, the subordinates investigated the area of three kilometers in front of them, and still only saw a total of three adventurous teams stationed, they said that they were attacked by the torrential rain, and they had to stay in place, and as soon as the rain stopped, they immediately went to the depths of the wild land. ”
"Report, the subordinates found that there are two other teams in other directions, some of them are seriously injured, and they plan to ask us for help, the subordinates dare not delay, rush back first......" The members of the three teams came back and reported, obviously this report was close to their captain's guess.
"Young master, it seems that there is something wrong ahead, what should I do?" said the captain of the third team, checking Xia Jiang's reaction from time to time.
While listening to the reports of his subordinates, Xia Jiang also noticed the strange way his subordinates looked at him, he knew that these people seemed to have been assigned to him by his father, but they had no loyalty to him, to be precise, they looked down on him a little. In fact, with his current hearing, he had already heard the discussion of several team members last night, but he was used to this feeling since he was a child, so he didn't care at all.
But this time it is different, he is moving to a new territory, and when he arrives, he will erect his majesty, and if he wants to establish himself there, the first thing he needs is to have a group of loyal subordinates, and if even these people have objections to him, then he has nothing else to say.
"Don't worry about them, just go ahead!" I originally wanted to wait for Xia Ziqi to rest, but at this time, the other party had already woken up, so he immediately stopped delaying, and immediately ordered, and said: "Go three kilometers away, set up a battle formation!"
"Yes!" the two captains immediately responded.
The reason why he went straight forward and didn't care about anything was not that Xia Jiang didn't want to help those seriously injured adventurers on the way, you must know that in this wild land, even a team like them can't guarantee absolute safety, and besides, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee the good and evil hearts of the people they see on the road in a short time. The number of people fighting each other for their own interests is too many to count on this land.
The whole convoy began to brave the torrential rain, but although it was torrential rain, for a convoy like Xia Jiang, there was no obstacle at all, and at most it slowed down the team's marching speed.
After a few minutes passed, Xia Jiang, who was riding on a white horse and wearing a huge rainproof cloak, finally saw the adventurers on the way reported by the spies, and saw the big houses spread out by the magic weapons of three huge houses leaning together in the long weeds. He looked closely at the tall weeds that had overwhelmed the human body, and found that it was indeed a good place to hide.
"The captain of the third team seems to have guessed well, these people are clearly deception, hoping that others will pave the way for them in front, and then they will sit and collect the fishermen......" Xia Jiang's white horse quickly swept over the area, thinking so in his heart, but he didn't care at all, but the blood in his body began to speed up, and he began to look a little hungry.
In less than ten minutes, the convoy had crossed three kilometers, and at this point the team began to change into battle formation.
The so-called battle formation means that the convoy is behind, only half of the team is behind, and all the other teams are in front, ready to fight at any time while advancing.
Xia Jiang himself is no exception, the Demon Devouring Sword in his hand has been out of the body, the sword body is exposed to the torrential rain, under the effect of the power of natural blood, the rainstorm that falls on the sword body has turned into water mist and is slowly absorbed by the sword body, and the sword body of the Demon Devouring Sword has begun to fade and become transparent from the original simple and gray.
......
And at this moment, behind this convoy, the few teams that were originally hiding in the weeds all showed knowing smiles.
"Hahaha, boss, you are really powerful, you actually deceived the two guards who explored the way, they really believed that there was nothing in front of them, and they actually advanced in the rain like this......"
"Yes, now we are safe, with them in front of us, we don't have to worry about the mission......"
"Hmph, look at your little bit of talent...... The boss who was praised by several people had a smile that had been retracted at the moment, revealing a mysterious look, and said after a while: "If we have a chance, we have to get ahead of them and make some extra money!"
When several people saw the boss's expression, they were all stunned, and they looked at each other, obviously thinking of something.
In the other two houses, each of them was also talking about it, obviously seeing the hope of their respective tasks, but one of the captains also showed the same look as the former, and said in a low voice: "After the task is completed, you all have to keep an eye on it, once you have the opportunity to get the corpse of the brute beast, you must decompose it into the storage ring as quickly as possible, and you can't let them take the lead!"
Several people nodded their heads when they listened, and they all knew that if such a large-scale convoy traveled, especially a convoy in a hurry, if it could kill the brute beast, it would at most take the beast crystal, but the brute beast's corpse would not care, and for them, if the brute beast corpse was transported to the city, it could be sold for a good price.
