Chapter 66: The Forest of Thorns
Poof!
A sword light passed through the head of a bear-shaped demon beast, bringing up a streak of blood.
This bear-shaped demon beast has a hideous appearance, and its limbs are also two feet tall on all fours, and its body surface is densely covered with brownish and yellow scales, and its body size is huge, it is a second-level peak demon beast, which is equivalent to a martial artist of the tenth layer of the human inner qi realm.
Luoyang's body folded, the long sword entered the sheath, and landed in front of the bear-armored beast, and a deep sword hole appeared on the head of the bear-armored beast, red and white, flowing out of the hole.
Luo Yang stretched out his hand to probe the corpse of the bear armor beast, and at the same time asked in his mind: "Seventh, this is already the sixteenth second-level demon beast, you can see if there is any essence element that I can absorb." ”
"In the target detection, the blood, bones, and bone marrow were scanned, and no absorbable essence elements were found. ”
"Haven't you?" Luo Yang couldn't help frowning, today was already the second day he had entered the Thorn Forest, and he had killed sixteen second-level demon beasts along the way, but he hadn't even found an essence that he could absorb.
"It's hard to meet. ”
Luoyang sighed, due to the small amount of data stored in this world, No. 7 couldn't find the law of the distribution of essence elements at all, and now he could only use this most primitive method to find it, killing one, it was one.
"But this place must have been three hundred miles deep into the Thorn Forest, right?"
Luoyang looked back at the periphery of the forest, the dense tall trees blocked his vision, and he couldn't see too far at all, and the roars of birds and monsters came from time to time in the forest, and in the silence, there was a taste of wildness and desolation.
Shout!
The sound of a sharp arrow piercing through the void sounded, and it was fifty zhang away.
Luoyang's face turned pale, and the branches of a tall tree flew like a fly, and a few jumps had already swept in the direction where the sound came from.
In this forest, there are many people from Zhao who have fled, at least in the past two days, Luoyang has found a lot of convoys, but he didn't have the heart to flee with them, so he didn't go up to join in the fun, and always rushed alone.
"Young master, it's just a demon beast, a false alarm. ”
A convoy drove slowly down a rugged path in the forest, led by a group of elite soldiers in black armor, each with crossbow arrows on their backs, a silver spear in their hands, and a fine iron sword at their waists.
"What an elite team. ”
Luoyang stood on the treetops, and the trees in the Thorn Forest were growing vigorously, with lush branches and foliage, and the trunks were surprisingly large, so he was not worried that the people below would find out.
Behind a large group of soldiers, there are four carriages, each of which is pulled by two horses, and the body is very exquisitely built, especially the middle one, which is much more luxurious than the other three or two.
A tall, middle-aged man dressed in a strong costume was riding on a horse at this time, approaching the window of the luxurious carriage, and whispered something in return.
"Well, it's okay. The curtain of the window was opened, and the face of a young man with long and narrow eyes, thin lips, and fair skin as if he was sick, but his tone of voice was commanding.
The curtains were closed again, and the middle-aged man on horseback shouted, and rode to the front of the convoy.
Behind this group of people, there was a long line in the distance, in which there were carriages, civilians, warriors, and middle-aged people who looked like wealthy merchants, not to mention two or three hundred people.
It's just that at this moment, no one in the back team dared to get too close to the convoy in front, and only dared to hang behind in fear.
"My lord, those guys in the back have been following us for two days, do you need to drive them away?" said a soldier at the front of the convoy to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"It's okay, since they love to follow, let them follow. The middle-aged man smiled indifferently: "The dangers of the Thorn Forest are far more dangerous than we imagined, and they may even come in handy when necessary." ”
"Zhilu has said, my lord. ”
Luoyang stayed in a hidden place, his eyes wandering.
The middle-aged man before, he could see at a glance that he was a powerhouse in the early stage of the Transformation Yuan Realm, and the strength of that team of elite soldiers was obviously not weak, each of them had a cultivation of more than six layers of the Inner Qi Realm, and when placed on the place, it was enough to be the captain of a hundred-person team.
"What is that young man's identity, he can actually drive a strong man in the early stage of the Transformation Yuan Realm to be his escort, and there is such a group of elite soldiers under his command. ”
Luo Yang's eyes showed a look of doubt, and it was definitely not easy to guess the identity of this young man.
As for the escape team behind the most Lu team, he didn't have to think about it to guess that they were trying to seek protection, after all, the strength of the people in the front convoy was there, and there was the escort of the early stage martial artists of the Huayuan Realm, even if they encountered a third-level demon beast, they would have a hard fight, and it would undoubtedly not be too much of a problem to pass through the thorn forest, and the only thing to guard against now was the interception army of the Flowing Frost Country.
"This team is good, but it can be mixed in. ”
Luoyang smiled slightly, and quietly integrated into the team behind the most Lu, this fugitive team was obviously formed temporarily, no one knew anyone, and people kept joining in, Luoyang's entry did not arouse anyone's vigilance
Soon it was night, there was only a quarter moon hanging in the sky, the faint moonlight swayed down, and in the forest below, the cries of insects came, and from time to time a few terrible beast roars could be heard.
In a slightly open field, two long dragon-like teams have made a lot of fires, the weather in the Thorn Forest is very strange, and it is obviously hot during the day to make people sweat, but at night, it is cold people shivering, and the breath they exhale can form a white glow.
"The weather in the north of Zhao is really very different from that in the south. ”
On the way, Luoyang inquired about the situation in the Thorn Forest, the Crimson Prairie, and the Shang Alliance, but there were not many people who knew the Dao, and he didn't find much useful information.
Next to a bonfire, Luoyang and seven or eight men and women sat together, relying on the bonfire to keep warm, five or six of them were just ordinary people of Zhao State, the clothes on their bodies were very torn and dirty, and a woman with a face full of vicissitudes was still holding a five or six-year-old little girl, the little girl had yellow muscles and thin muscles, and the hair on her head was sparse, and she looked a little malnourished.
In addition to Luoyang, there is also a middle-aged man with a thin body, who looks like a martial artist, but the internal qi realm is not high, and he only has a fifth-level cultivation.
Luoyang took out two steamed buns from the burden behind him, and ate them with the water bag on his body, in fact, he had all the food in his storage spirit ring, just to not expose the spirit ring, so he prepared a burden.
In the woman's arms, the little girl looked at the white-faced steamed bun in Luoyang's hand and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
A few people in the neighborhood were also a little moved, there was no food in this thorn forest, and even water sources were difficult to find, and on the way to escape, most of them used up the food on their bodies, and there were starving people everywhere along the way.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the thorny forest, a piece of steamed bun may cause a bloody battle, but Luoyang has a sword on his body, and his body is very straight, obviously a warrior, these people dare not act rashly.
Luoyang noticed the little girl's gaze, smiled slightly, took out a few cold steamed buns from the baggage, and even two meatloafs, and handed them to the little girl.
"Eat. Luoyang smiled, and at the same time found that the eyes of several people next to him had changed, and they looked at the mother and daughter with fierce eyes.
"Huh?" Luoyang looked at each other, pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and glanced at them coldly.
Everyone was suddenly silent, in this place, the martial artist is the sky, and these ordinary people are just like a chicken and a dog for the martial artist of the first and second layers of internal qi, so naturally they dare not offend Luoyang.
"Xie Lu Xie Gongzi, thank you so much, my daughter hasn't eaten for almost two days. The woman was grateful, she didn't expect to meet a good person here.
Luo Yang also handed over the water bag, there are still many such things in his spirit ring.
"Eat some too, if you don't have enough strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this forest." ”
Luo Yang sighed, looked at the large exile team, and couldn't help but think to himself, among these hundreds of people, I don't know how many people can reach the Shangmeng alive.
