Chapter 16: Poisoning

Most of the people in the convoy are not coming to this Luoyang Desert for the first time, so they don't care about this kind of beast 'tide' that will appear every night, and everyone is well rested.

After all, there is a beast 'tide' every day, and you have to hurry during the day, if you can't even bear this interference, you can't survive in the Luoyang Desert at all.

In the early morning of the second day, the blood-colored moon disappeared below the horizon, and the sun's rays once again sprinkled on the walls of Wuguan, and when the last demon beast disappeared into the desert, the convoy to Yuzhi City set off again.

At this time, the irritating invisible energy had disappeared, and the fresh aura of heaven and earth filled the entire space again.

Chen Yuxiang was still dressed as an ordinary guard, riding on a tall healthy horse, holding a strange iron hammer in his hand, and followed closely in front of Yiyi's carriage.

Although the attire has not changed, the people in the convoy, whether it is Hong Changqing's group of guards hired by Brand, or the royal family guards led by Brand himself, look at Chen Yuxiang with extremely awe.

And this awe naturally comes from Chen Yuxiang's strength! Luoyang Desert is a place with the heaviest strength, and only the truly strong can gain respect here!

The next destination of the convoy was a settlement called Black Crow. It is only more than 200 miles away from Wuguan, and there are more than a dozen small oases around.

The oasis belt of the MiG corridor varies in width from hundreds to thousands of miles. Many of the places above are human settlements, and there are many routes to choose from, and this Black Black Town is just a route randomly selected by Brand!

Brand did not have a written plan for the route to be walked in advance, and the purpose of this was naturally to prevent the plan from leaking and attracting the pursuers loyal to the lady!

More than 200 miles is not too far, and there is no trouble, so shortly after noon, the convoy arrived at Heiwu Town.

At Brand's command, the convoy immediately set up camp.

Although it was still early in dark, the next settlement was 400 miles away, and although there were a few small oases in between, there were no strong walls on them to make it impossible to camp in.

And if you 'open' sleep in the wild at night, if you 'hand' your 'life' to the demon beast!

Heiwu Town is also built on an oasis, with strong walls strong enough to withstand low-level demon beasts, and the permanent population of no more than a thousand people in it. Unlike Wuguan, Heiwuzhen no longer nominally belonged to Great Xia, but to a small city-state called the Black Mountain Kingdom.

The environment in the desert is nothing less than very harsh, but the adaptability of humans is also very amazing. As long as there is a wall that can resist monsters, and a sweet well, people can live and reproduce from generation to generation!

......

"Brother, I'm hungry! take me to get something to eat!" Yiyi jumped out of the carriage and said weakly.

"Oh, okay!" Chen Yuxiang saw Yiyi's appearance, and then remembered that after Yiyi entered the desert, he just ate a piece of dry food and drank a few sips of water.

Yiyi is not a monk, but a mortal 'girl', and the life of inhaling wind and drinking 'dew' is not something she can live at all.

Chen Yuxiang secretly scolded himself for being too careless in his heart, and after saying hello to Brand and Gianna, he took Yiyi to the only restaurant in Heiwu Town.

"Uncle, you're here! You haven't been here for a long time!" As soon as he entered the 'door', the only 'waiter' in the store greeted him very warmly and complained loudly.

"The specialty of this store, 30-year-old black barley wine is very scarce, I left a barrel for the uncle, many people want to drink it at a high price, I didn't sell it to them, just waiting for you!"

"Brother, have you ever been here?" Seeing the 'waiter' as if he had seen a regular customer, Yiyi's clear eyes flashed, and he said in surprise.

"Hehe! The businessman is just a small means to solicit business! It can't be true!" Chen Yuxiang laughed in a low voice, nodded at the 'waiter', and took Yiyi's hand and went up to the second floor.

Sitting down at the window, ordering a large barrel of aged black bare wine and a large table of desert specialties, Chen Yuxiang drove away the rapping 'waiter', and Yiyi happily ate and drank.

I have to say that this black black wheat wine is really good, cool and sweet, and it is extremely comfortable to drink, even Chen Yuxiang drank several large wooden cups in a row.

But Yiyi was already hungry, facing a table full of sumptuous dishes, eating without any image, and her cheeks were bulging, which made Chen Yuxiang secretly amused.

Because it is in the middle of the desert, most of the meals on this table are made with the 'meat' of demon beasts, but there are very few vegetables. After all, Yiyi's appetite is not large, and she will be full after a while. After drinking half a glass of black barley wine, Yiyi's little face also showed a slight drunkenness.

At this time, the rapping 'waiter' came over again, put a pot of fragrant tea on the table, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is the best fragrant tea brewed with the sweet water of this city, and after drinking black barley wine, it is excellent for decanting." The sweet water well in our town of Heiwu is extremely famous in the whole country of Montenegro. The tea brewed is just like fairy dew! Once you taste it, you will naturally not forget it!"

Chen Yuxiang smiled and motioned for the 'waiter' to leave quickly. Then he poured two cups of fragrant tea, put a cup in front of Yiyi, and chuckled: "Yiyi, don't drink if you can't drink!"

"People want to drink with you! really!" Yi Yijiao glanced at Chen Yuxiang with disgust, took the teacup, and drank it in one gulp.

"Hehe! Don't be reckless next time!" Chen Yuxiang said with a smile, "Drinking is also something that needs to be exercised slowly! When I didn't become a monk, it was also-Yiyi, what's wrong with you?"

Speaking of this, Chen Yuxiang screamed in fright.

"Brother, I'm so uncomfortable, my stomach hurts!" Yiyi's face turned pale in an instant, and after barely speaking, he fell crooked on the table.

Chen Yuxiang's body flashed, and he came to Yiyi's side, grabbed her hand, and a warm spiritual power was injected into Yiyi's body.

At the same time, a trace of divine consciousness had already been released, observing the condition of Yiyi's body.

Observing the situation in Yiyi's body, Chen Yuxiang's face instantly turned iron-blue, and a trace of coldness flashed under his eyes.

After a few moments, drops of black 'colored' liquid oozed from Yiyi's fingertips and dripped onto the floor, giving off a fishy smell. And Yiyi also woke up leisurely, but her face was still pale.

Yiyi looked at Chen Yuxiang and said blankly: "Brother, what's wrong with me?

"The tea is poisonous! This shop turned out to be a black shop!" Chen Yuxiang gritted his teeth.

"Black shop!" Yiyi's eyes widened, and her face was in disbelief.

Chen Yuxiang's face was 'pale' and 'gloomy', and his figure disappeared in a flash. In the next moment, his figure reappeared, but in his hand was the 'waiter' who was carrying the rap.

"Say, why did you poison us!" Chen Yuxiang slammed the 'waiter' to the floor and shouted coldly.

"How dare I poison you?" the waiter cried out in fright.

"Then what's going on with this tea!" Chen Yuxiang shouted.

"What's wrong with the tea?" the waiter looked dazed, "I boiled this tea with the water I just got from the sweet water well, and the tea leaves are also high-quality tea, what's the problem?"

"Just got water?"

"Yes, my lord, while you were eating, I went to the sweet well to get fresh water. There was a caravan fetching water, and there were a lot of them, and I had been waiting for a long time!" said the waiter.

"Caravan! not good!" Chen Yuxiang's heart was suddenly startled, and his divine sense instantly let go, enveloping the entire Black Black Town. And the 'color' of his face also became extremely 'gloomy' in an instant!

"Damn bastards!"

"My lord, it's none of my business!" Looking at Yiyi, who was extremely weak, and then at Chen Yuxiang, who looked grim, the 'waiter' was also very scared, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Chen Yuxiang ignored him anymore, took out a handful of gold coins and put them on the table, took Yiyi's hand, and disappeared in a flash.

Under the walls of the town of Heiwu, where the convoy is located.

When Chen Yuxiang left, Brand and the others were preparing to eat. At this time, there were hundreds of people with gray and black faces, lying on the ground, obviously dead of anger. The rest of the people stood in place with shocked expressions on their faces.

In the center of the formation, Brand held Gianna's hand tightly, as if he was instilling spiritual power into her body. Gianna's face was gray, her eyes were closed, and her black hair like a waterfall had lost its luster, and she looked as if she was going to lose her life at any moment.

David stood by and looked at his sister, wiping tears from his eyes.

"Brand, what's going on?" Chen Yuxiang flashed to Brand and said hurriedly.

"My lord, you're finally here!" Brand said again and again, "I haven't even bothered to eat, everyone just drank a few sips of water, and that's it!"

"Big brother, save my sister!" David wiped his tears and looked at Chen Yuxiang.

"Get out of the way!" Chen Yuxiang let go of Yiyi's hand, unceremoniously pushed Brand away, and gently pressed his palm against Gianna's back. At the same time, a trace of divine consciousness was released, observing the condition in Gianna's body.

Seeing the black 'color' energy that was 'chaotic' in Gianna's body, Chen Yuxiang couldn't help but be secretly frightened. These energies are not far from Gianna's heart, and if she is a little late, Gianna will definitely die!

Gianna's condition was much more serious than Yiyi's, and it took Chen Yuxiang a long stick of incense to remove the black 'color' energy from her body and drip it down her fingertips to the ground.

"What's wrong with me? Gianna struggled to open her eyes and saw Brand, suspicious.

"The well water is poisonous!" Brand gritted his teeth, "These bastards are so ruthless!"

Chen Yuxiang withdrew his hand, his divine sense swept over Heiwuzhen, and his face was extremely gloomy.

It was obvious that the poison in the well water was dropped by the caravan after it entered the town of Heiwu. The people of the MiG corridor have the habit of drinking afternoon tea, and now at least half of the thousands of mortals in Heiwu Town have been killed by poisonous well water.

"These people in Black Black Town are just mortals, and they don't hesitate to kill all of them in order to kill two people!

"It seems that if you don't start killing, you still can't do it!"

Chen Yuxiang's divine sense instantly locked onto a wooden house not far from the caravan. There, there were a few monks hiding inside, watching from afar.
