Chapter 67: The Wounded in White
After three days of walking, the surrounding scenery changed and rolling hills began to appear.
The dwarf ones are no more than one or two stories high, and the high ones are hundreds of feet, and the mountains are covered with low shrubs, and the exposed parts are reddish-brown.
"This is the Twilight Plateau. Yan Candle Shadow said.
"It seems to be a lot higher up here. Liangchen said.
"Yes, this is the plateau area, which is estimated to be one or two thousand feet higher than the Demon Dragon City. It's just that this way up slowly, I can't feel it. Ruby interjected.
"Brother Ye, do you know why this road under our feet is called the Road of Thorns?" Yan Zhuying asked.
"I really don't know about that. Is it because there are many bushes and thorns along the way?" said Liangchen after thinking for a while.
"Then according to your reasoning, how can you explain the throat path of the Breeze Plain?" Hongyu teased with a smile.
"Hehe... I really don't know. Liangchen said with a smile.
"The throat road of the Qingfeng Plain is the only way to go to Zhongzhou, so it is called the throat road. And the reason why this road is called the road of thorns is not only because there are many thorns on the road, but because this road is extremely difficult to walk!" Yan Zhuying said.
"Oh, but it's not too difficult for us to walk all the way?" asked Yoshichen.
"Brother Ye doesn't know that the main reason why this road is called the Road of Thorns is in this twilight plateau.
Because of this steep terrain, thousands of mountains hide dragons and crouching tigers, and in the past, there were rampant rogues here, so it was called the road of thorns.
Among them, a group of robbers led by Alilu is particularly famous, Alilu is an old monster in the middle of the infancy, with unfathomable magical powers, and is known as the chopping demon because he likes to cut off the hands of those who resist!
There are four protectors under his command, all of whom are monks in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and there are twenty-six subordinates in the Jindan realm, named after the twenty-six constellations.
This group of people is located here, and the nest is in the middle of these 100,000 mountains, often lurking on this thorny road, robbing the past business travelers.
At its peak, all past business travelers were subject to a hijacking fee.
Later, he finally angered the city lord of Demon Dragon City and several surrounding city lords, and decades ago, he contacted everyone and worked together to encircle and suppress Ah Li Lu's gang, and only Ah Li Lu escaped with serious injuries. This is the peace of this thorny road.
After this incident, most of the robbers on the twilight plateau either fled or hid.
Now, although there are occasional robbers in this twilight land, they are only lone thieves, and they are no longer taken seriously. Yan Candle Shadow slowly told an old secret.
"I see!" Liangchen was shocked when he heard this.
"But even so, be careful. Yan Zhuying looked at the rolling mountains in the distance and said with a little seriousness.
As Yan Zhuying said, after entering this twilight plateau, the Jindan team leader also became cautious, no longer just sitting on the dire wolf and closing his eyes to recuperate, and began to give orders non-stop, and several subordinates also began to get busy.
Everyone knows that as long as you cross this twilight plateau, this dart mission is equivalent to completion.
The team began to move at an accelerated pace, and several people were not talking or laughing loudly, except for the occasional whisper. In such a depressing atmosphere, I rushed for two days.
On this day, in a canyon, a group of people was on their way, and suddenly the person who was exploring the way in front came back and reported:
"Thirty miles ahead, a man was lying on the road. ”
"Explore!" The middle-aged man who led the team frowned when he heard the news, and then shouted loudly to the team:
"There is a situation ahead, everyone be on guard!"
When everyone heard this, they sacrificed their weapons and moved forward cautiously.
Liangchen also lifted his spirit and took out his sword and paid attention to the surrounding situation.
But I saw Yan Candle Shadow offering a ring around his body, holding a fluorescent short staff.
Ruby threw out a long silk that shimmered with white light, swimming in front of her like a long snake.
For a while, all kinds of magic weapons circled and danced, and continued to gallop forward with great momentum.
"Newspaper, there was a young man lying on the road, who seemed to have fainted. "The pathfinder came back to report.
"Watch out for the trap! Probe again!" shouted the leader of the Jindan team, as if he was afraid that everyone would let their guard down.
Thirty miles will be galloped in just a moment.
Liangchen saw a man lying in the middle of the road in the distance, dressed in white, stained with blood, and seemed to be seriously injured.
He let out a divine sense, but he couldn't detect this person's realm, but a familiar aura flooded his heart.
Liangchen was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully, because this person was lying on his side, his face was bloodstained, and he couldn't see all his appearances, he couldn't help but become more curious.
Because this man was on the road, the crowd slowed down as they passed.
Lying on the ground was a young man, half of his face exposed, pale, covered with wounds, his hair stained with blood, and even his forehead and face were covered in blood.
He sensed it, and there seemed to be a faint breath, and the familiarity in his heart became more and more obvious.
"Miss, I still have a trace of breath, do you want to save it and take it away?" Hongyu seemed to be moved by compassion, and stopped and asked.
"Shopkeeper Yan, don't do it!" It was the leader of the Jindan team who saw that Yan Candle seemed to want to agree, and hurriedly spoke to stop it.
"Why not?" said Ruby, displeased.
"This is the Twilight Heights, and there must be something strange about the fact that these 100,000 mountains are full of vicious people who appear on this avenue for no reason! The leader man looked at the young man on the ground and said.
"I don't think this man is a bad person. And even if he is a bad guy, he is seriously injured at this time, and he is not an opponent by any person.
Besides, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. Why don't you save it?" said Hongyu a little angrily.
"Even if he is not a bad person, it is not a trap, but seeing him injured like this, he must be fighting with the enemy, if the enemy chases him later, how do we deal with it?
You can't put the safety of the whole team at risk for a stranger!" said the team leader.
"Shopkeeper Yan, for today's plan, to safely escort the goods as the first thing. What do we have to do with this person's life or death?" said the leader of the team, turning his head to Yan Candle Shadow.
"Everything is arranged by Senior Liu. Yan Zhuying thought for a moment and said slowly.
"Alas, how ruthless people are in cultivating the truth, everything is based on their own interests. But then again, it's right, if you are responsible for the safety of the whole team, you will not rush to save it if there is suddenly one more person at this time. Liangchen thought to himself.
I was going to help Xiaohong say a few words to see if she could save this person.
But considering the safety of the goods, and the fact that he was a guest invited by others after all, he didn't say much.
"Hmph. Ruby seemed to be angry, rolled over, and walked in front of the unconscious young man.
"Xiaohong, don't be presumptuous!" Yan Zhuying said as she seemed a little angry.
"Miss, I'm just giving him some pills. ”
Hongyu raised the man's head and took out a red pill and put it in the man's mouth.
He took out a small jade bottle, poured most of the unknown spiritual liquid, and then dragged the man to the side of the road and put it down, turned around and rode the dire wolf.
Liangchen saw the man's face clearly at this time, a slightly handsome strange face, he couldn't think of where he had seen it, and finally had to suppress his inner curiosity and follow the road.
After this small twist and turn, everyone began to hurry quietly again.
