Chapter 32: Leaving the Valley!
CHAPTER XXXII
Twilight is coming, like water and moonlight, and it is a conjunction moon, but the wind is raging and whistling, blowing on the body, like a knife cutting!
"Holy!"
The vigil shivered, took off the wine bag hanging from his waist, raised his head and took a sip, but he didn't dare to drink more, just to warm up.
The three masters are furious, and now the intersections leading to Baiyun City have long been blocked, don't talk about people, even if it is a fly, don't think about flying over!
The valley road is not wide, there is a figure every 100 meters, unless you have an extremely strong cultivation, otherwise, there is only a dead end!
The terrain of Baiyun Valley is very complicated, and there is definitely more than one passage to Baiyun City, but now it seems that almost all the roads to the north have been cut off.
The cold wind was still raging, and two figures were whistling by in the snow, covered by the sound of the wind, and they were not worried about being detected.
After turning around in this Baiyun Valley for so long, I found such a steep road, although there are more thieves stationed in it, but in such a harsh environment, there will inevitably be some relaxation
The thief who was guarding the intersection scolded and poured a sip of spirits, and then hung it on his waist again, and took out the package from his arms, which was dried bacon, although this errand was a little bitter, but there were still a lot of benefits, such as these pieces of bacon.
There are raised hilly stones not far from the intersection, and behind the hilly stones at this time, Luo Chen and Zhong Li looked at those pieces of bacon with their eyes blank and drooled.
There is wine and meat, it is really tempting, Luo Chen moved his evil thoughts, grinned at Zhong Li, and under her worried gaze, against the cold wind, his body was attached to the valley wall, and he leaned over little by little.
At this time, the thief was chewing on the dry and hard bacon, and he was debating whether to drink it or not, but he was afraid that he would drink too much and delay things, and if it was known by the above, it would be a death.
But at this time, the god of death suddenly came, and he lowered his head in amazement, and he didn't understand, in this vast snowy world, where did the vines come from, but they were pierced by the stingers on the rattans.
The bright red blood changed color, it was pitch black, and in an instant, a stream of ** quickly spread to the whole body along the palm, and he soon lost consciousness.
This poison ivy is too poisonous, it can't be used against the enemy unless it has to, this thing is so poisonous that even some soul beasts can be poisoned in an instant!
And with the improvement of cultivation, this poison ivy is also constantly evolving.
Luo Chen stepped forward to support the thief who was about to fall, and helped him lean against the rock wall, and at this time, the thief's whole body was already stiff, unless someone came to investigate in person, no one would find that this person was dead.
It was the first time he had killed someone, but he didn't have the fear of hindsight, which was a little weird.
Taking off the wine bag and bacon from the waist of the thief, Luo Chen turned all the way back, handed the wine belt and bacon in his hand to Zhong Li, and he took out the uneaten stalagmite from his arms and chewed it by himself.
At this time, Zhong Li was still stunned, Luo Chen went and returned, and it was less than a cup of tea before and after, but what puzzled her was why the thieves didn't find out?
"Sister Zhong Li, you take a rest here first, and I'll go ahead to explore the way. ”
"Then be careful. ”
Luo Chen smiled and nodded, but the moment he turned around, a murderous intent suddenly burst out from under his eyes!
The valley road is not easy to walk, if you want to leave this Baiyun Valley unharmed, then you must solve these thieves stationed in the ancient road!
With the previous sneak attack experience, Luo Chen's courage also became bigger all of a sudden.
The path of the soul master, the hands are more or less bloody, this road is not easy to walk, there are no bones under the feet, sooner or later, it will become a corpse under the feet of others!
If you don't want to die here, you have to be ruthless!
Under the dark night, Luo Chen is like a killer hidden in the dark, poison ivy is like a poisonous snake, peeping in secret, once he finds an opportunity, he will send a fatal blow!
Most of these thieves were ordinary people, although they had awakened their fighting souls, most of them were in the realm of one-star fighting soul masters! The soul power in their bodies was not enough to resist the poison in the poison ivy, and they were soon poisoned to the ground one by one.
Some of those who were weaker were killed on the spot!
One by one, these thieves leaned against the valley wall, under such a cold and harsh climate, even if they were not poisoned, if they stood under this cold wind overnight, they would be frozen alive into popsicles.
There were a total of twenty-eight people, and after all of them were dealt with, Luo Chen turned all the way back, and at this time Zhong Li was still a little worried, but he also let Luo Chen pull him forward, at this time she was still worried, but soon, she was stunned to find that the thieves stationed on the side leaned against the rock wall one by one, as if they had fallen asleep.
"They're ......"
"I don't know, it was like this before, I guess I'm lazy. ”
Luo Chen shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain too much, killing twenty-eight people in one go was indeed a bit too terrifying, although Zhong Li was suspicious, he didn't think much about it.
The valley here is a bit steep, very difficult to walk, and it is no wonder that there are no thieves stationed in the second half of the road, such a rugged valley road, and there are cracked ditches under the valley road, one accidentally falls into, it is difficult to say whether there is a life.
The two of them held hands, it was snowing, and the road was very slippery, but although this valley road was not easy to walk, it was a shortcut road, as long as you passed through this rugged valley road, you could see the White Cloud City!
The Zhong family is a family of merchants, and the nearby cities have more or less certain industries, and the Zhong family has often been in and out of Baiyun City over the years, and naturally left a small branch.
It's just that the traded furs were robbed, and there was simply no enough goods to trade in a short period of time, which was undoubtedly worse for the Zhong family today.
Along the way, Zhong Li was silent, the closer she got to Baiyun City, the more silent she became, in fact, she still couldn't understand it, Baiyun Valley is so big, there are many roads leading to Baiyun City, when resting outside the valley before, everyone also discussed trying to avoid those gentle valley roads, and took some steep roads that are not easy to walk.
Why was it ambushed? so much so that it was almost wiped out.
No matter how good Baiyun Village is, it won't be ambushed there in advance, right?
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the pace of progress suddenly stopped, and under Luo Chen's puzzled gaze, he actually wanted to go back.
"Sister Zhong Li, you are ......"
"There are spies! I must find out who is reporting to that Baiyun Village!"
Not only was the fur robbed on this trip, but even the Zhong family's guards were wiped out, if this matter could not be investigated, she would not be reconciled!
Luo Chen suddenly had a head and two big, go back, what about to make a fuss, this looks like he is about to go out of the valley, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth when he goes back now?
"Sister Zhong Li, before entering the valley before, I remember you once said that although this Baiyun Village will rob merchants passing by here on weekdays, it is generally straightforward, and even if it robs goods, it is only half of the robbery, why is it so abnormal this time?"
Zhong Li was stunned, most of these thieves in Baiyun Valley were homeless people who had committed crimes nearby and gathered here in order to hide from their enemies, just to eat a mouthful of food.
And the big boss of Baiyun Village is also a famous figure, although Baiyun Village is a thief, but it also has a certain bottom line, otherwise which businessman dares to take this road in these years?
If they had killed one by one, the thieves in this White Cloud Valley would have starved to death long ago!
"Sister Zhong Li, why is this fur trade so urgent? Since this Baiyun Village is so notorious, why can't you travel for a few more days to bypass this Baiyun Valley?"
Zhong Li's face was a little unpleasant, although he vaguely grasped something in his heart, but it was too vague to be sure.
"Speaking of this fur transaction is indeed a little too sudden, from the preparation to delivery, and the final transaction, the other party only gave more than a month of time, but Li City and Baiyun City are separated by hundreds of miles, during this period, it has been several days of night travel. ”
Zhong Li sighed lightly, if it hadn't been for the overnight rush, everyone would have been exhausted, how could they have been snatched away so easily?
"If you're in such a hurry, why do you have to take it?
"I don't know, this transaction was taken over by the elders of the family, and I am only in charge of escorting. ”
The Zhong family is one of the five great families in Licheng, and it is a real merchant family! Although the Zhong family has declined today, the camel is bigger than the horse, and it has had close contacts with the nearby cities over the years, and has its own currency channels!
And these currencies gathered to outsiders, in the eyes of outsiders, is the real golden road, has long been remembered by the major families.
Now the situation of the Zhong family is very bad, some old guys in the family are ambitious, and they have become more and more rampant over the years, if it were not for the suppression of the elder sister in the family, the Zhong family would have been torn apart.
"Sister Zhong Li, this matter is strange, that Baiyun Village behaves abnormally, there must be a demon in it! Maybe this fur trade was originally a trap!"
He is also from a family, so he naturally understands the darkness within the family, Zhong Li's face is a little gloomy and uncertain, and under Luo Chen's repeated persuasion, he still did not look back after all.
Baiyun City is a third-level county town in the strict sense, a big city like this, there is a city lord's mansion in the city! Although Wuling County is also a third-level county town, it is a third-level small city that does not enter the stream.
At this time, outside Baiyun City, many foreign merchants had already gathered, and they could enter the city just by waiting for the city gate to be opened.
At this time, less than a mile away from Baiyun City, two dirty figures helped each other out of the valley, looking at the Baiyun City in front of them, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Chen fumbled all over, and finally poured out a gold coin from his boots, and smirked: "Sister Zhong Li, I have money, after entering the city, let's go to have a big dinner!"
Zhong Li's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "This gold coin is enough for us to enter the city, but do you have any other money?"
Luo Chen scratched his head and looked at Zhong Li with some puzzlement, this gold coin was already all his worth, and there was really no more.
"It's also a big meal, Baiyun City is a regular third-level city, non-local city residents, but anyone who enters the city, it is necessary to pay the entrance fee, after this gold coin pays our entry fee, it is estimated that we can only buy a few meat buns at most. ”
Zhong Li didn't have a good airway.
