Chapter 168
The Wind Chamber of Commerce did not pin its hopes on the hired mercenaries.
The entire convoy was led by Fang Tao, the guard leader of the Suifeng Chamber of Commerce.
Fang Tao, the face of the national character, cultivated as: the late stage of the true immortal. He is six feet five inches tall, has a scar on his face, has an ordinary face, and has a special temperament on his body.
He was at the front of the convoy, keeping his eyes on the front and ready to deal with trouble.
Behind Fang Tao were the two deputy commanders.
The two deputy commanders who followed Fang Tao were two completely opposite existences.
Deputy Commander Li Temple, mid-Zhenxian period. Tall, rugged-looking, and bearded, he gives the impression of being dangerous and fierce.
and the other one is called Zhou Li. The appearance of a scholar.,Not very attentive to anything.,Lazy.。 It is also the middle stage of the True Immortal.
Only when he looked at the carriage where Chen Yue was staying, his eyes flashed a trace of fluctuation.
Of these three commanders, Chen Yue felt that Zhou Li, who looked like a scholar, might be the strongest in the guards.
If the three of them are described as weapons, Fang Tao gives Chen Yue the feeling that it is a sword in the sheath. Li Temple is a steel knife out of the sheath.
Only this Zhou Li made Chen Yue unable to see through him. He didn't have any immortal power fluctuations on his body, just like an ordinary person. When looking at him, Chen Yue felt that his eyes were like a pool of calm and deep lake.
They brought the personal guards of the Suifeng Chamber of Commerce, although those people were all Mahayana periods, they were very tacit and not afraid of death.
Fang Tao divided the escort team into two layers, the first layer was the two bronze mercenary groups recruited and some scattered mercenaries.
They were in charge of the outermost guards, following the wagons.
For Fang Tao, these people are just temporary hired cannon fodder. If it weren't for the early warning, he still needed to use their lives, so he wouldn't hire these old oilmen who were not strong, but they had all been on the battlefield.
As soon as they realize that they can't do anything, these people will run away as soon as possible. Or it was instantly defeated in an orderly manner.
The innermost part of the convoy is guarded by the guards of the Wind Chamber of Commerce. Three steps to one person, when fighting, make sure everyone can help those around them.
Chen Yue is also a mercenary who came over with a single move, but his identity card is very unusual, so Zhou Yang temporarily added him as the third line of defense, and at the same time the last one.
The convoy of the Suifeng Chamber of Commerce was in a hurry, and although it didn't encounter any trouble along the way, it made Chen Yue smell a hint of danger.
As he went deeper and deeper into this lawless land, Chen Yue felt that more than one group of people were watching them in the shadows, as if they were waiting for an opportunity.
Chen Yue got out of the carriage curiously, came to the truck on the periphery, opened the loaded box, and found that there was actually nothing strange in it, just some pseudo-immortal grasses that were very common in the fairy world and were very rare in this place, as well as some fairy fruits and elixirs.
After restoring the box to its original state, Chen Yue returned to the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Li Si walked up to Chen Yue and asked him.
Someone reported to him just now that Chen Yue had just walked into a truck full of goods by himself and opened the box.
"Whew!" Chen Yue exhaled and looked at the sky.
At this time, there are already a lot of clouds in the sky, and it is estimated that there will be a heavy rain tonight.
"It's too calm...... Chen Yue glanced at Li Si and said, "The calmer it is, the more powerful it will be in the next storm......"
"Protect the good lady. Li Si also glanced at the sky, left this sentence and left.
Chen Yue looked at the Li Temple that was gradually moving away, and muttered in a low voice: "The storm is coming......
Night.
The convoy camped in place and did not continue on the road.
In the fairy world, the night is a time for monsters to carnival, and it is also a good time to kill people.
There are many things in the fairy world that shield the divine sense, and they all take effect under the fairy moon at night.
The moonlight of the fairy world also has the ability to enhance demon beasts and weaken the divine consciousness of immortals.
The reason why this is the case starts with the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Emperor competing for hegemony......
If they continue on their way, there is a good chance that they will fall into someone else's trap.
In the wilderness of the fairy world, the monsters in the dark night are the most terrifying things. Compared to them, it's still a little bit worse.
Chen Yue rested on the tent post of Chu Xue, and his task was to protect her, either to send her to Nanban or back to Xiancheng.
"You go and rest. "The sound of the first snow came from inside the tent.
"No, I don't. Chen Yue replied blandly, continuing to pick up the bonfire in front of him.
Seeing that Chen Yue didn't plan to rest, Chu Xue didn't insist, so he lay down and rested.
"Don't sleep too hard, there could be rain tonight. Chen Yue thought about it and reminded Chu Xue, so as not to panic when she faced the attack.
"Hmm. Chu Xue replied flatly, as if he was very experienced in what would happen next.
Chen Yue leaned against the edge of the pillar, constantly stirring the bonfire in front of him.
Many people have closed their eyes and regained their senses.
During the day, they are on high alert in the face of any accidents that may occur.
It is very laborious to concentrate so much and be vigilant around you.
Of course, it can also be troublesome, like Chen Yue, sitting in the car with nothing to do, watching the scenery around.
However, in the entire convoy, except for Chen Yue, there was no second person who was so leisurely. Because they don't dare.
Therefore, resting at night is not only the reason for the demon beasts, but also their reasons.
"It's not burning enough. Chen Yue looked at the bonfire in front of him and added a few handfuls of materials to it.
After Chen Yue finished adding firewood, his bonfire sounded and became the brightest bonfire in the entire camp.
The entire camp was illuminated, and at the same time, a group of people who approached them in the dark......
In the early morning, everyone was packing up the battlefield and looking for the bodies of their comrades.
This night, only the first snow that has just gotten up is the most comfortable.
Under Chen Yue's protection, no one could get close to this tent.
"Ha~yaw~" Hatsuyuki opened the tent and walked out, yawning, and then, she asked, there was a complex smell in the air: the smell of barbecue, blood, excrement, the peculiar smell of offal, etc., mixed in the air, disgusting.
This Miss Chu Xue is obviously not a simple person, and when she smells this smell, she only frowns.
Then, she glanced at Chen Yue, and when she saw that Chen Yue was intact, she nodded her head to say hello, and Chen Yue also nodded in response.
Next, she went to find the Commander Fang Tao.
"Commander Fang, is the result out?" Chu Xue asked Fang Tao, whose face was covered in blood.
At this time, he was watching the losses reported by his subordinates. After hearing the words of the first snow, he "woke up" from it.
"Oh, miss. Fang Tao first saluted, and then told her about the situation last night: "Last night, a group of unidentified people attacked our camp, but their strength is not very high, they are all around Mahayana. However, they are not afraid of death, like the dead soldiers of various families. ”
"Last night, because of the reminder of the man, their sneak attack failed and they were forced to engage us, and our men suffered nothing except for the casualties of the mercenaries on the periphery. As he spoke, Fang Tao glanced in the direction where Chen Yue was.
He didn't know, and he didn't understand, how Chen Yue found those people.
Although those people were only here to test, they were wearing the night god clothes that only the big chamber of commerce had, and they were specially designed to hide themselves and shield the divine sense from probing.
How the hell did he notice it......
"No one will, and no one wants to see the re-emergence of the Suifeng Chamber of Commerce. After listening to Fang Tao's words, Chu Xue sighed lightly, and then, someone said to Fang Tao: "The mercenaries who died in battle, after all, they all died because of me, give them a hundred immortal stones as a pension." ”
"Good. Fang Tao nodded, looked at Chu Xue with a smile, and said in his heart: "This girl is as kind as her mother." ”
After digging the grave of his companion, he left here after paying a simple respect.
There wasn't much hurt and there was no crying.
Since you have chosen to be a mercenary, you have to treat yourself as a dead man.
The caravan continued to depart, and Chen Yue was still sitting in the carriage, looking at the surrounding scenery idly.
Last night, the reason why Chen Yue was able to ignore the night god clothes on others was because he stole the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth - Space.
To a certain extent, he is the god of this world, and he can easily know the position of others.
If Chen Yue's cultivation was higher, he could still use the space to kill them quietly.
But Chen Yue's cultivation is now low, and he can only "see" people, as for the other abilities of space, they are not what he can use now.
During the day, Chen Yue was like a salted fish, sitting in the car, relying on the peripheral mercenaries to keep watch. After all, that kind of state is also very consuming of consciousness.
"Thank you. ”
Chen Yue was looking at the scenery around him, and suddenly heard a voice of thanks coming from the carriage.
"Huh?" Chen Yue looked inside with some confusion, confirming whether Chu Xue was talking to him.
"Thank you, early warning, otherwise there will be more people who fall today. "Hatsuyuki's voice is soft and gentle.
"It's a matter of duty. Chen Yue chuckled and said, "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others." ”
Then, they continued their silence.
The two of them, one is a Miss Chamber of Commerce, and she is also the current president of the Suifeng Chamber of Commerce.
One is a wanted criminal. They're not out of the world, so there's not much to talk about.
The convoy continued to move towards the Southern Barbarian Land, encountering many attacks along the way.
Under Chen Yue's warning, they were discovered in every sneak attack and forced to fight the guards head-on.
These people are all cannon fodder sent to tempt, how can they be the opponents of such personal guards. The Assassins, slaughtered by them one-sidedly.
"There are only three days left. Chen Yue rode a horse and looked at the map in his hand and said.
He was surrounded by Fang Tao and Chu Xue. As for the carriage, I didn't know for a long time that it had turned into a pile of waste wood in that wave of attacks.
"The hardest three days. Chu Xue Mei stared at the map in Chen Yue's hand, they only needed to walk for another three days to reach Nanban.
"Everyone must be on high alert at all times. Fang Tao gave an order, and then led the people to continue to advance.
