Entering the Otherworld Chapter 13 The Crisis After Calm Ask for recommendations
After more than 20 days, I am a little tired from reading the apocalypse.
Every day, I have to rush desperately, and some sections of the road have to be dismounted to repair the road damaged by wild animals or natural disasters, or remove stones and dead trees that are blocked in the road, and I have to push a cart when the road is slippery on rainy days.
I have to keep vigil every night, and it's really not that easy for this trader, but Nian Tianqi still persists.
After these days, reciting the Apocalypse, in everyone's small talk, I gradually understood that the cultivation sect was still far away from the mortal world.
Even if Yongxuan Eight Cities is only on the periphery of the sect, it still has a natural barrier with the mortal world, and it is impossible for ordinary mortals to pass through the Wanli Forest and get close to the sect by their own strength.
This 10,000 miles of forest is nearly 10,000 miles from east to west, tens of thousands of miles from north to south, and the terrain is complex, with lofty mountains, flying cliffs and warped cliffs, and dense jungles.
The most important thing is that there are still a few spirit beasts that run out of the Tianxuan Mountain Range during this period, and encountering spirit beasts is a disaster for mortals.
The reason why the caravan dared to do business was that it was familiar with the road, and secondly, it had a strong escort.
Moreover, all the people in the caravan have a cultivation foundation, and the worst ones have the cultivation of the first and second levels of Qi cultivation, at least they can run faster than ordinary people.
The caravan continued to walk for two days, and was about to get out of the forest, and the terrain gradually calmed down.
For the past two days, everyone has tensed their nerves, and they have been carefully guarded day and night, but surprisingly, not only did the wolves not attack, but even the ordinary beasts disappeared.
One day it was time to leave the forest, and everyone was nervous, and the big guys thought that the wolves would attack the caravan tonight.
The caravan stopped early, set up the camp, and everyone was divided into two groups, one group was on guard and the other group rested. There is a vigorous bonfire in the center of the camp, and there is also a circle of bonfires around the periphery, and the whole camp is brightly lit.
Everyone tensed their nerves and prepared to go, but they didn't expect that there would be nothing to do all night, until the dawn of the day, the wolves did not appear, and everyone looked at each other.
"I don't know why the wolves didn't attack us this time, but anyway, we left here immediately, and we can leave the mountains and forests in half a day. If it goes well, you will be able to reach the MixC in a few days. Captain Brother Zheng said.
With Brother Zheng's words, the caravan immediately took action, and it didn't take long for the caravan to set off in full gear and set off all the way.
The caravan finally made its way out of the mountains and into the hills, finding its foothold before dark.
It's backed by a small hillside with a great view and is surrounded by low weeds and bushes, but there is no water source, so it's barely a good campsite.
Everyone had not slept all night last night, and they were all tired after a day's hurried journey today, so they hurriedly lit a fire to heat the dried meat, and replenished their strength with wine.
Although he walked out of the jungle, the captain Brother Zheng still didn't dare to take it lightly, carefully checked the camp defense and arranged for people to keep vigil, and those who walked outside all the year round understood a truth, be careful to make the Wannian ship.
Nian Tianqi was indeed tired, and this time he did not keep vigil with the guards, but hid in the inner circle of the camp and went to sleep.
The other guards didn't say anything, although Nian Tianqi's cultivation was not bad, but first, he was not a member of the escort team, and second, he was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child after all, and it was already very good to be able to stick to this point.
Captain Zheng Gang was always a little relieved, and divided the team members into two groups to keep vigil, and he kept watch for the first half of the night.
The camp gradually fell silent, with the snoring of the crowd and the occasional crackling sound in the fire.
The sky was full of stars, the moonlight was bright, and the captain Zheng Gang stood on the roof of the car and looked at the endless black shadow in the southwest, his brows furrowed.
This trip was so peaceful, calm that people were a little frightened, and there were no more powerful beasts along the way.
Not only did the wolves not attack, but even the goshawks in the sky were gone, which was too abnormal, and often there would be great danger after the abnormal calm.
Zheng Gang stood on the roof of the car for more than two hours, and when it was time to change the guard, there was still quiet around, without the slightest movement. He rubbed his eyebrows, could it really be that I was too careful?
"Xiao Zheng, you go to the rest meeting, I'll keep an eye on it, I'll be in Vientiane City in a few days, and this trip is quite smooth." Lao Lin came to Zheng Gang's side.
"Okay, I've worked hard for you in the second half of the night, Lao Lin. Zheng Gang suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, jumped off the roof of the car and walked towards the inner circle of the camp, he was indeed a little tired, and the guards around him changed their guards one after another.
As the night deepened, the clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, the stars faded until they vanished, the fire lost its color, and the remaining sparks flickered and faded, and the eyelids of the guards of the night watch grew heavier.
Lao Lin looked at the dozing guard on the side, and wanted to remind him, but after thinking about it, he sighed, "It's not easy for children." ”
Looking up at the sky, the glimmer of starlight in the south was slowly obscured by the clouds, "Why is the north wind blowing, I'm afraid it will rain again tomorrow!"
His gaze gradually moved downward, and suddenly Lao Lin found that a few sparks were blown away from the fire by the wind and flickered not far away.
Lao Lin blinked, and found that these sparks emitted a ghostly light different from that of a fire, and they were also in pairs.....
The high-pitched roar of "Beast Attack ......." suddenly exploded in the camp.
Everyone in the camp was immediately awakened, everyone grabbed their weapons and quickly came to the periphery of the camp.
I heard the captain Zheng Gang shouting: "Quick, shrink the outer ring, drive the horses and cloud beasts to the inner circle, all the crossbow arrows are in place, and listen to my command." ”
Nian Tianqi was stunned and dragged the six large carriages in the outer circle with everyone, and removed the wheels, so that the carriages fell to the ground tightly enclosed into a closed defensive circle without passages.
Immediately after that, someone brought out a crossbow and gave it to everyone, each with a crossbow and a pot of arrows.
It wasn't until this time that Nian Tianqi came to his senses, this was the wolves about to attack, and jumped on the roof of the car to look out.
In just a short period of time, someone had already added all the prepared firewood to the fire in the outer ring, and connected the fire in a circle, forming the first simple ring of flame defense.
The fire burned more and more vigorously with the whistling north wind, and the flames went up and down, left and right.
By the light of the fire, I can already see the wolves nearby, with fierce eyes, grinning teeth, and occasionally I can see the ghostly light reflected by the crystal saliva between the teeth, which is eerie and terrifying.
The wolves in the distance are faintly faint and unreal, and they can only see a pair of wolf eyes flashing with a ghostly light, and there is no way to determine the number of wolves, only a lot.
The wolves gradually formed an encirclement, more in the south and less in the north, the wolf eyes shining with a ghostly light in the south were dense, and the north was gradually thinning.
