Chapter 228: Nine Cities
In the face of this windy and dusty weather, Shopkeeper Qiao had already taken a concentration bead and surrounded a group of people, so that the team would not be uneven by the wind and sand.
Most of them have some strength, and they want to kill monsters and beasts here and make a fortune, so they have never entered the border.
You must know that General Wu issued an announcement that no one is allowed to come in at the border gates, and the hunting group that stays in the northwest desert will really have no source of livelihood once they go out.
This announcement does not give a date, if it drags on for a year and a half, and the thief who steals the secret treasure of the ruins has not been caught, this loss will be big for these people!
This is also the reason why they are willing to stay in the northwest desert.
Therefore, Zhuang Bufan was able to hide in the crowd for a reason, and he has not found it until now.
Zhuang Bufan often sells a few demon beasts, and when someone asks about him, he also takes this opportunity to push.
said that the elders in the family asked him to go to the training, and he was a little short of money, and he urgently needed the help of the body refining elixir, so he stayed in the northwest desert.
These half-truths and half-truths have made Zhuang Bufan hide all the time today.
As for whether he will be discovered when he enters the border this time, Zhuang Bufan does not know.
In particular, the probability of being discovered by General Wu is uncertain.
However, Zhuang Bufan will agree to go to the border with Shopkeeper Qiao, the main reason is that this time the beast tide is more powerful than before, and General Wu wants to sit in the center and get rid of the most powerful demon beasts.
In other words, General Wu is worried about this matter at the moment, how can he care about the matter of the secret treasure of the ruins.
Zhuang Bufan believes that as long as General Wu does not meet him in person and does not find out that he is different, it is impossible for other people to find out that he did it!
This is the main reason why Zhuang Bufan dared to follow Shopkeeper Qiao to the border.
Also, follow the crowd!
Zhuang Bufan saw that most of the people followed the shopkeeper Qiao, and if he didn't go, he would definitely be suspected. Maybe he will be reduced to a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and then he will be even more dangerous.
In addition, the mysterious man in black on the side is stronger than him, if he is in the camp of these people, what can he say?
The degree of danger will be a hundred times more dangerous than in Shopkeeper Qiao.
......
On the other side, the people who stayed, led by the man in black, watched as a large part of the people left and headed for the border pass.
One of them asked, "Boss, why don't we go?"
It turned out that these people were all brothers of the man in black, so they would stay.
As for the shopkeeper Qiao's party, are there any criminals who kill people without blinking an eye and are wanted by the imperial court, and they are disguised through secret techniques and are not noticed.
No one can ever know.
On the other side, the man in black shook his head in the face of his brother's doubts and said, "I'm exposed, when I ask that question, and my clothes, as soon as I enter the border gate, I will definitely be arrested, in this case, it is better to stay in the inn." ”
"The boss is wise, it's just that this time we are separated from them, and we have to face the beast tide alone, which is a big deal, maybe, that group of demon beasts, facing a few of us, will definitely eat it. With the strength of a few of us, it is difficult to deal with them. ”
The man in black shook his head and said, "No, although it is difficult for people to resist the tide of beasts, we have few people, and we can dodge, but we may not be able to escape our lives." Here, there is an inn as our stronghold, I don't believe that Qiao shopkeeper, he has not been in the inn, he has built a secret passage, as long as we enter the cellar and hold our breath to cultivate, even if the inn is ruined and the ruins are covered, a few of us are not martial apprentices, and we need to eat, drink and Lazar. As long as you prepare a few bottles of pills, you can feed yourself for several months, and when the beast tide passes, we will come out again, and we will be a good man, and we may not need the protection of the sergeants at the border gates!"
Hearing the boss's plan, several people who were still a little worried showed joy one after another.
"The boss of Jiucheng is worthy of being the boss, he has a lot of ideas, and his brain is also bright. ”
The other person, who stretched out his thumb and kept praising Jiucheng, made him feel happy.
This mysterious man in black is named Nine Cities, which is not his real name, but a nickname.
Just because he had been in nine cities, he put down his heinous crimes, and in order to hunt down and kill a person who had robbed him of his magic weapon, he killed countless unjust souls in nine cities, and was ordered to become a wanted criminal by the imperial court of Shiguo.
Jiucheng saw a person coming out of the inner door at this moment, and Jiucheng hurriedly asked, "Have you found the entrance to the cellar?"
"I found it, the boss of Jiucheng is really powerful, the one called Shopkeeper Qiao, in this inn, there is a cellar, if the beast tide comes, we can enter this place. ”
The boss of Jiucheng nodded, compared to the praise of his subordinates just now, he was even happier at the outcome of this matter at this moment.
"Alright, let's scavenge some of the inn's belongings, put them in our storage bags, and when the beast tide comes, we will go into the cellar. ”
Jiucheng sent the others away, leaving only the person who reported the news of the cellar, and said to this person, "You quickly take me to the cellar, I will see what it is, and in addition, some hidden formations should be arranged inside, so that some demon beasts with a keen sense of smell will smell the breath of people and discover us." ”
The man nodded, took three steps and made two steps, and led Jiucheng to the cellar.
The two of them came to the cellar, and saw that this place was okay and could accommodate a few of them, so Jiucheng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'm relieved now, with this cellar, we may be able to avoid this beast tide, I just hope that no demon beasts with a keen sense of smell will find us, it's okay!"
At this time, from the other direction, someone exclaimed, "There is a demon beast coming!
This interrupted Jiucheng's train of thought, and immediately called a few of them over and entered the cellar together.
As for the scene outside, there is a mighty, powerful demon beast shadow, is running towards the inn, in front of him, flying insects, is eating away at the protective prohibition outside the inn, in a moment, this layer of defense will disappear, and ushering in, will be a major disaster for these people.
Time was urgent, and several people didn't have time to pack up the things in the inn, and they entered the cellar one after another, and Jiucheng was in the cellar, using the secret arts, and the magic weapons in their hands were arranged in the four corners of the cellar, forming a transparent wave mask here, hiding the breath, and preventing the insects with low strength from entering.
......
On the other side, Shopkeeper Qiao led a group of people to the border gate.
The journey was not smooth.
In this line of people, some trouble happened.
Uncle Jin led the remnants of the snake hunting group, and on the way to the border pass, Zhang Tiantian, the daughter of the leader of Zhang, woke up.
As soon as she woke up, she called out to familiar people, "Uncle Jin, aren't we at the inn? How did we get here, and where are we going?"
Uncle Jin saw that Zhang Tiantian's mood had stabilized, so he said to her, "Go to the border pass." ”
As soon as Zhang Tiantian thought that the destination was the border pass, she immediately shouted, "Aren't you going to save my father?" My father is still fighting with the sand beast, why don't you gather these people and go to save him together?"
So far, there is nothing to hide, Uncle Jin looked at this niece with sympathy, "Your father, he will never come back." ”
"Uncle Jin, what are you talking about? My father is obviously the most powerful person in the entire Northwest Desert, how can he not defeat the Sand Beast?"
Zhang Tiantian's tone was excited, struggling with the hands of others, and came to Uncle Jin to question, "He is only for you...... Only then did he face the sand beast alone. ”
When talking about this, Uncle Jin's eyes dimmed, obviously, this matter was very painful for them.
Abandoning his companions, although it was the order of the leader of the chapter, but now that I think about it, I still regret it.
If it weren't for the protection of Leader Zhang's daughter, perhaps, they would have disregarded Leader Zhang's orders and fought side by side with him to death!
Uncle Jin shook his head and said, "Leader Zhang faced the sand beast alone for you, and this time it was the beast tide, even if the leader of the chapter survived in the sharp teeth of the sand beast." can't dodge, the next army of demon beasts will eventually be reduced to a corpse. ”
This sentence, to Zhang Tiantian, is very cruel. But now, it's better to tell her as soon as possible.
When Zhang Tiantian heard this, it was the result, and the whole person was like an electric shock, and his brain fell into a state of confusion.
He muttered to himself, "No way, my father can't die." You must be lying to me!"
"I'm not going to the border, I'm going to my father, you abandoned my father, I'm going to get him back by myself!"
"Don't, Tiantian! You are undoubtedly asking for hardship when you go like this, this vast desert, and this bad weather, you are just the strength of the martial arts realm, even ...... , even the samurai realm has entered the current northwest desert, and there is no return. You better follow us well, don't let your father's hard work be wasted. ”
Uncle Jin is the person who has been with Leader Zhang the longest and is also one of the veterans who founded the Snake Love Hunting Group, and now that he sees that his daughter is not persuasive, he naturally wants to stop it. ”
Zhang Tiantian is still arrogant and unreasonable, this is her love for her father.
"Hmph, you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you don't want to save my father, just say it, don't talk about so many reasons. If you don't want to save it, I'll go alone!"
Zhang Tiantian's insistence on going his own way made the heads of the snake hunting group hurt, and Uncle Jin on the side had nothing to do.
Today's Zhang Tiantian is completely indulged in the madness of losing her father and does not listen to anything.
Uncle Jin could only use violent means, imitate his previous actions, knock Zhang Tiantian unconscious, and wait for her to reach the border before making plans.
