Chapter 4: Mountain Bandits

The fragrant fragrance on the Dan furnace gradually faded a lot as the Yuan Fire was withdrawn.

Lao Gao saw that Qin Wen didn't need Yuan Huo now, so he got up and set up a soundproof barrier and said: "When we were refining the pill in the past two days, I had a feeling of snooping on my divine sense, so it's better to be careful when we talk about things now." ”

Xiang Hao said at this time: "In the past two days, I have also found out about some mountain bandits in the gambling house and the Qinglou, there are a total of five gangs near the Broken Stone Mountain, and they are all about the same in strength, listening to their tone, there should be monks in the Xuanling realm, but they have only heard about it." ”

Lao Gao already understood what Xiang Hao meant at this time, so he thought about it and said, "Young Master, you are now worried that these mountain bandits are only monks from the Xuanling realm, and even if we introduce him into the Xuanxuan Heavy Armor Formation at that time, it won't play a big role." ”

Xiang Hao nodded and said, "A monk of the Xuanling Realm has little effect on breaking the formation, and when he sees that something is wrong, he should be able to quickly break out of the formation, and we will be in trouble." ”

Qin Wen pondered slightly: "This matter is actually not difficult, I think since there are mountain bandits in this place, then we can hire monks to guard the caravan, as long as we hire dozens of monks, the mountain bandits will also weigh it, and they will send more people down the mountain." ”

Xiang Hao said with some concern: "I've also thought about this, but in this place, any industry is inextricably linked to mountain bandits, I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will lure wolves into the house, and it will be troublesome to hire the eyeliner of mountain bandits." ”

Qin Wen smiled slightly: "Isn't this exactly the situation we want now? My elixir will be baked soon, let's hire some people, of course, our safety must not be handed over to these people, what we have to do is to introduce them into the encirclement of the Xuanxuan Heavy Armor, whether it is the hired mountain bandits or the robbed mountain bandits." ”

Lao Gao also smiled at this time and said: "This is fishing in troubled waters, and the more chaotic the better, so that the captain of the Xuanxuan crossbow heavy armor can't figure it out, and the chance of us being able to rush out will increase a lot, and when I set off, the city lord also brought me a small array plate from Luming City, which is more than enough to protect the four of us." ”

"Although this array plate can't resist the Xuan crossbow, but the ordinary Xuan-level mid-grade magic weapon can still be prevented, once there are mountain bandits, we will use the array plate to defend against Feizhong, even if they are hired by mountain bandits, and then there are pills enshrined by Qin, the mountain bandits can't besiege the four of us at all. ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Hao nodded and said, "Then let's just make up our minds, I'll hire some people right away." ”

Early the next morning, Qin Wen got up early, and after breakfast, he sat in the carriage with Xiang Hao and Ao Yu, and Lao Gao drove the carriage out of the backyard door of the inn, next to more than 40 Xuanjiao and Xuanshi monks hired by Xiang Hao.

Xiang Hao lifted the canopy and looked at it, then turned around and asked Qin Wen: "Qin worship, is there less people hired here, but we are in a hurry, and there are only these people at most during this time." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said: "There are not many monks in the Xuanling Period who can use the forbidden law, and it is not easy to destroy so many people, as long as we can lead a large number of mountain bandits down the mountain, our Jihua will be considered half of the success." ”

The carriage drove out of Dujiao Town along the official road, and about two or three miles behind, two monks dressed as merchants also walked slowly, their speed always keeping pace with the carriage, always paying attention to the trajectory of the carriage in front.

Over a hillside, the terraced fields near the town of Unicorn have been replaced by winter woods, and the cold wind blows in the face, rolling up the dead yellow leaves.

Lao Gao changed rides with Ao Yu at this time, and then walked into the carriage, casually arranged a soundproof barrier and said: "There is really a problem with these monks hired, just now I used my divine sense to detect a few people behind the carriage, it should be discussing the timing of the move." ”

Qin Wen smiled and said: "It's better for them to start, what we want now is to be as chaotic as possible, and it would be more perfect to wait until the two groups of mountain bandits attack at the same time." ”

Lao Gao cautiously took out a small array disk, and input the vitality into the formation, and the array disk gradually showed a layer of faint white spiritual mist, so he nodded and said: "When I came to Luming City last time, I also checked the local situation, but at that time, I followed the stagecoach and did not encounter the mountain bandits, but according to the terrain here, the direction of the mountain bandits' move should be at the mountain pass location where we are going to pass this afternoon." ”

The pedestrians on the official road became more and more scarce, and the speed of the carriage was not fast, and sure enough, as Lao Gao said, after noon, there was more communication between the monks outside, and a few people did not shy away from making jokes in black words.

Seeing that he was about to reach the location of the mountain pass, Qin Wen walked out of the carriage at will, and saw several bare small peaks in front of him, the inclined stone walls were as smooth and steep as if they were split with an axe, and this was indeed a good place for ambushes.

Qin Wen had never walked here, and he didn't know if the place where the Xuanxuan Heavy Armor had set up an ambush in front of him was similar to here, but it didn't matter anymore, no matter how many enemies he encountered in front of him, if he came to this point, everything could only be fought out.

As soon as he thought of this, a group of people suddenly flew out from the mountain pass, stopped the carriage head-on, and there were suddenly more than 100 mountain bandits on the hillside behind, and one of the leaders said: "Listen to the people on the other side, hand over the spiritual objects and storage bags in your hands, I can spare your lives." ”

At this time, the leader of a monk hired by Xiang Hao stood up and said, "Lao Wu, you are not the only one who has the final say in this Broken Stone Mountain, this batch of goods belongs to our eldest brother, and he is in front." ”

As soon as his words came to this, Lao Gao in the carriage had already put the array plate in motion, protected Xiang Hao in the array plate first, and then rushed out from the top of the carriage, and said to Qin Wen and Ao Yu: "Hurry up." ”

Qin Wen and Ao Yu had also been prepared for a long time, and flew into the array, and then Lao Gao handed over the array to Xiang Hao to manipulate, and he and Ao Yu flew in front of the mountain bandits with the formation with their vitality.

The leader of the mountain bandits also came to his senses at this time, so he casually took out his flying sword and stabbed towards the formation, and then said loudly: "Stop them, don't let them run." ”

The mountain bandits behind also took out a variety of blades and beckoned to the formation, but most of the blades couldn't break through the white barrier, only a few flying swords broke into the formation after piercing, and they were also easily blocked by Qin Wen with the Yanlong spear.

At the moment when the formation was attacked, he rushed out of the encirclement of the mountain bandits, and flew straight along the official road, and the leader of the mountain bandits hurriedly withdrew the flying sword that he had pierced into the formation, and then waved his hand and said: "Chase." ”

All the mountain bandits rushed after us, but these monks hired by Xiang Hao were stunned for a moment, and their leader also took out his magic weapon and said: "Grandma's, Lao Wu dares to rob our goods, go, the eldest brother is waiting for us in front of me, chase me." ”

At this time, on the official road of Broken Stone Mountain, there was a halo of a formation in front of it that was moving rapidly, and then followed by two chaotic mountain bandits, Lao Gao observed the situation of the mountain bandits behind, slowed down the speed, and fished the mountain bandits all the way along the official road.

Gradually, the distance between the mountain bandits also widened, and the high cultivation could still keep up with the formation controlled by Xiang Hao, while the slightly lower cultivation was left behind, Lao Gao noticed that there were fewer and fewer mountain bandits behind him, so he said to Ao Yu: "Stop first, let them surround us and then rush forward." ”

Ao Yu also slowed down his vitality, and the speed of the formation gradually slowed down, and the mountain bandit Lao Wu, who was running at the front, said excitedly: "They are already exhausted, brothers, quickly surround them." ”

Just when the mountain bandits had just closed up, a group of people came down from the opposite mountain, and at this time, the leader of the mercenary monks who had been abandoned on the periphery said excitedly: "Big brother has rushed over, Lao Wu, you cut our goods this time, and I am not done with you." ”

Lao Wu also roared at this time: "It turned out that Brother Tang was here, and my Lao Wu is not a person who eats alone, after these fat sheep are captured, we will be half of each other." ”

When the matter of dividing the spoils between the two groups of mountain bandits had not yet been discussed, Lao Gao shouted in a low voice: "Get up." He and Ao Yu exerted their strength at the same time, and suddenly the formation rushed out of the encirclement of the mountain bandits.

Similarly, there are some messy magic weapons that flew into the formation, Xiang Hao is responsible for the operation of the array, and Qin Wen uses the Yanlong Gun to open these magic weapons, because the formation itself consumes some of the spiritual power of the magic weapons, after entering the formation, these magic weapons are not too aggressive, and Qin Wen is also very easy to use the Yanlong Spear.

Broke through the encirclement of the two mountain bandits, and the chase began on the official road again, this time the two mountain bandits were together, chasing the four people in front, the leader of the mountain bandits was still talking about the distribution, in their opinion, even if the four Qin Wen people in front of them are not slow now, but the vitality will eventually be exhausted, and it is only a matter of time before the four people are taken.

At this time, Lao Gao saw that there were already four or five hundred mountain bandits behind him, and there were many monks in the Xuanshi stage among them, so he smiled slightly and said: "This time, we have enough people, I estimate that the heavy armor of the first team of Xuanxuan crossbows should be unable to stop it." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately slowed down again, and was surrounded in the encirclement by the wild laughter of the mountain bandits, and after breaking left and right, it caused a commotion in the encirclement of the mountain bandits, and when the mountain bandits with a slightly lower realm chased after him, Lao Gao saw that several monks from the Xuanshi realm were working together to prepare to stop the magic circle, so he resolutely took the elixir refined by Qin Wen.

At this time, he felt a burst of vitality in the dantian erupt out, and the speed of the array flying almost doubled, and he suddenly rushed out of the encirclement under the surprised gaze of several Xuanshi monks.
