Chapter 122, Deserted Town
Chapter 122, Deserted Town
"Hehe, I knew you would teach me. Princess Su Qian said excitedly.
"Then you can let it go now, right?" Yi Canghong glanced at the other party.
"Put it right away, Yi Canghong, are these few sentences easy to learn?" asked Su Qian.
"It depends on personal understanding, some people only use it for a few days, some people use it for decades, anyway, it's not difficult for me. "Just kidding, these are all created by Yi Canghong himself, will it be difficult for him?
"It's so difficult! It's not difficult for you, but it's different for me, is there anything simple?" asked Princess Suqian.
"That's all I cultivate, nothing else. If you want to make it easy, find someone else. Yi Canghong said.
"Oh!" Su Qian was not happy to come this time, and she was complaining in her heart that the things you learned were so profound, couldn't you learn something simple?
There was nothing to do all night, but Yi Canghong's head was big, Su Qian came over and said that she didn't understand, she didn't understand, she was annoying, but others were envious, jealous and hateful, and they could be with the goddess in their minds, it was really a kind of happiness for them!
The next thing is to rush day after day, everyone's original freshness is gone, the originally excited smile becomes a tired face, for more than ten days, they are often attacked by monsters or robbers, some people have been injured, but fortunately, they are all slightly injured, no death. They all thought it was their good luck. But I don't know why they came here so smoothly. It's all the result of Yi Canghong's constant use of spiritual sense.
"It's been two days. Combined with the previous sneak attacks, we have wasted five or six days, and if we continue like this, if we don't reach the time yet, we will be regarded as abstention. Just drove away a group of robbers, everyone sat down to rest, Princess Su Qian gasped and said.
"You say they're so poor. Don't you think it's strange why you dare to provoke again and again?" Yi Canghong, who was carving wood, suddenly said this.
"Needless to say, they are trying to capture one or two of us and let the Zhongyuan Empire ransom us with money, this kind of thing will happen every time in the competition, although the number of successes is not much. Jiang Tong wiped the blood from the long sword.
"Isn't that clearly against the whole empire? Yi Canghong said.
"How could it be? These robbers are very shrewd, they won't deal with you face-to-face, once they arrested the people of the Yueliang Empire, and after receiving the money, they let them come to the Zhongyuan Empire to ask for people. By the time they found it, they were all in good dwelling in the inn. Of course, there were those empires who wanted to play tricks. But they didn't want the hostages to be killed by them, and who the other party was has not been found out until now. Those ransoms are astronomical, as long as they succeed once, then they will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. That's why they dare to take such risks. Jiang Tong said.
"The price offered by the robbers is so high, what if those empires are unwilling to pay?" Yi Canghong said.
"Impossible. It's already embarrassing enough for people to be arrested, and if they don't want to pay, then where will their empire still have face!" Jiang Tong said.
"Hehe, that makes sense. Shall we hurry now? or catch up? Yi Canghong said with a smile.
"Let's hurry, a little further ahead is a deserted town, and I estimate that in three or four days' drive, we will reach our destination. There's no need to spend time here with them. Princess Su Qian could laugh when she saw Yi Canghong, and said angrily.
"Hehe, aren't you afraid that they are waiting for us in the deserted town ahead?" Yi Canghong said.
"Even if they are waiting for us there, this is not better than where we just left the border, the monsters here at night are not ordinary fierce, and most of them are in groups, if those robbers really dare to wait for us there, then we will only attack. Didn't people notice it? The more we got to the periphery of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there were at least a lot of demon beasts. Princess Su Qian said with a solemn face.
"Hehe! If you have ambition, then let's go!" Yi Canghong took the lead and got on the horse and galloped forward.
Sure enough, after more than an hour of galloping with thirty-five pointed horses, a dilapidated town appeared in front of me, surrounded by mountains on three sides, but it was a good place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"According to the topography here, there shouldn't be no one to live in, right?, how could it be deserted like this?" Yi Canghong sighed.
"Yes, this is surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is simply overkill to guard against robbers, but when the beast tide comes, it is useless to have a good terrain, such a place is generally a robber's nest, but there are more places like this in this place that no one cares about, of course they will find a better place. Su Qian said.
"Hey, I can't see that you're also a military genius!" Yi Canghong said with a smile.
"Genius doesn't dare to say, but I've read similar books. Su Qian said modestly.
"Let's go inside. Yi Canghong took the lead and rushed down.
A deserted town is a deserted town, and there are about three or four hundred houses in this place, almost all of which are ruined and overgrown with weeds, but it can be seen from these ruins that this place was quite prosperous before, but these have become the past, leaving only desolation.
"It seems that this place is really as you said, this place is usually a lair of robbers, and I think we may have come to a den of thieves. Yi Canghong saw that there were still a few intact houses here, and said.
"Hmph, we've all come here, are you still afraid of their sneak attack?" Su Qian changed her old style, how to look like a female man at this time.
"It's getting really fast. Yi Canghong whispered.
"What do you say. Su Qian asked.
"It's nothing, let's go in, why do I always feel wrong!" Yi Canghong said.
"It smells of blood!" Jiang Tong said suddenly.
"I smelled it early. Su Qian said.
Everyone walked straight and came to a field that was about three or four hundred square meters, only to see that there was blood everywhere. On a stone platform in the middle lies a beetle beef cow. And it's already disemboweled. The blood on the stage was still falling to the ground drop by drop, and firewood was set up on one side, but it was not lit, and in the large house that was intact on the other side, it was a mess, and it was completely obvious that they were in too much hurry, as if they were in a hurry, as if they were about to come in a catastrophe. As for the beetle beef cattle, to put it bluntly, it is a huge. And in the front half of the body are a kind of demon beasts with hard armor, this kind of demon beasts reproduce quickly, the order is not high, generally around the third to sixth order, as long as they know their weaknesses, it is easy to kill, this kind of demon beast is delicious, but it is a good dish.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Looks like we'll have a good meal tonight and get some sleep, these little thieves must be preparing dinner. Suddenly I found out that we were coming and ran. Su Kun smiled smugly.
Almost everyone has been excited for the past few days. They all lived a life of fear, raising knives and killing, and they didn't even sleep well at night. Now that those robbers were scared away by their own group, of course they were happy.
Only Yi Canghong, Jiang Tong couldn't laugh with Su Qian, looking at this scene, Su Qian said: "Is the robber's courage so small?"
"If they really had that little guts, they wouldn't have been here. Could there be some conspiracy in this?" Jiang Tong also looked incredulous.
"And you look at the blood around you, no matter how I look at it, it looks like it was artificially sprinkled, aren't they afraid of attracting demon beasts to attack?"
"We're busy, let's do things first!" Yi Canghong also felt that something was wrong, and used his spiritual sense to investigate around, and sure enough, on a mountain two miles away from here, there were fifty or sixty people ambushing there, Yi Canghong seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and saw that those people were polishing their shiny long knives and long swords, as if they were waiting for orders to prepare.
"Did you find something?" said Su Qian abruptly turned her head.
"On the mountain road on the right-hand side, there are fifty or sixty people waiting there!" Yi Canghong said.
"Could it be that when they saw us coming, they ran there and hid, and then came out after we left?" Su Qian probably thought that the robbers were afraid of her, so she said this.
"No, as you saw just now, they deliberately sprinkled the blood there, the purpose was to attract the demon beasts, they are very smart, and they know that they can't deal with us with their own people, but they dug a pit and waited for us to jump in. When the monsters exhausted us, they came out and wiped us out. This is why they spilled their blood here before we came, presumably the purpose of their sneak attack on us was not to arrest people, but to delay time, in order to wait for them to lay out here. Yi Canghong said calmly.
"How did you find out about them?" Could it be ......" Jiang Tong deliberately glanced around, but found nothing, there was only one explanation, that is, Yi Canghong used his spiritual sense to detect, and it was a mile or two away from here! Such a strong spiritual sense, this had to surprise Jiang Tong, because Jiang Tong knew that only people in the spiritual base realm could have such a powerful spiritual sense.
"Then what do you say we're going to do. Su Qian ignored Jiang Tong's surprised expression and said.
"What can I do, go up and kill them, isn't it? People don't offend me, I don't offend people, since they don't intend to let us go at all, then we can only get rid of them. Yi Canghong said indifferently.
"That's right, but we can't just rush forward, because they will run before we arrive. Can you find out their strength?"
"Of course we can't do that, we have to leave a few people here to fight for a while, we can't make them suspicious, and then we will send another person to sneak over and try to kill them with one blow. As for what you said about their strength, it is not high, one is in the late stage of the fourth order, three are in the middle of the fourth order, and the others are only two or three orders to solve. Yi Canghong said.
"Do it now?" asked Su Qian.
Yi Canghong looked up at the almost dark sky and said, "Just now, it will be dark in a while, and the demon beasts will also come at that time." We'll have to get it in one blow, and then we'll find another place to camp, and we'll have dry food tonight!"
Saying that she would do it, Su Qian called the leader of Qi Qi's group of people and said: "Su Kun, Luohu, you two groups will prepare dinner here, and when you see the killing sound over there, leave everything here and rush over, and the others will follow me." ”
Everyone listened inexplicably, but Su Qian was the leader, and she had already established her prestige, so no one said anything. (To be continued......)
