Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Trail of Red Mang
"Let's go. ”
With the order of the Xi Yaotang team, the team set off immediately.
With more than 70 scattered cultivators, plus more than 10 pharmacists and more than 20 family disciples in the Xi Medicine Hall, this team reached more than 100 people, and when they passed through the west of the city, they brought in another 20 hired monks, so that the number was close to 100 and a half.
This team, the per capita strength is above fourfold, it is enough to protect the pharmacist to collect medicine, and the Red Mang Demon Hunting Group also has the power to fight, the premise is not to fight against the three major commanders of the Red Mang at the same time, otherwise it will definitely not be enough to see. However, if you can contain that group of red mangs, it is enough.
Du Mu is not afraid of the three commanders, what he is afraid of is the group of minions, once he is surrounded by hundreds of horsemen, the three leaders look around, and the result is not necessary to think about - even if he can escape, the task is yellow. Now that there is such a group of hired cultivators, of course he has no such concerns.
What worries him is what if the red mangtuan doesn't come. With Du Mu's viciousness, he would really release the news that Xi Yaotang went into the mountain to collect medicine, but he didn't do that after all-it's not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't find the red mang's eyeliner.
Of course, Xi Yaotang didn't want to run into the Red Mang Demon Hunting Group, the loss was not what they wanted to see, the herbs were still secondary, those pharmacists were all treasures of the Xi family, the pills were easy to buy, and a master was hard to find, they were talking about pharmacists, otherwise why would they hire so many monks to accompany the guards. Du Mu really hoped that the Red Mang Demon Hunting Group could appear, and at the same time hoped that the three major commanders would be dispatched together, and with the help of the power of this group of scattered cultivators, he would have a chance to catch them all - if the head of the Xi family knew that there was such a variable in the monks he hired this time, he might die of myocardial infarction.
The team headed southwest. After entering the sparse woods, a pair of eyes became vigilant, constantly sweeping forward, backward, left, right, and left, and even above the trees, there were monks who were in charge of keeping an eye on them. One by one, they all pressed the weapons on their waists, ready to shoot anytime and anywhere.
This place is already very close to Pomegranate Mountain, and danger will appear at any time, no one dares to take it lightly, let alone lose points in front of Fairy Xi.
Du Mu looked at the woman in white who was protected by dozens of clansmen in the middle, and thought, this kind of beauty, it should be good to be the lady of the village, it depends on whether you have the courage to do so.
When entering the medicinal herb area, he encountered a few attacking brute beasts, but those brute beasts were not of high level, basically around the third order of the threshing period, and they were quickly repelled by the monks, and they didn't even need the Xi family to make a move. Those monks were anxious to show their worth in front of Fairy Xi, where was there any reason to be left behind, although at the cost of paying three lightly wounded, there was finally no danger.
The attackers were four or five monkeys and six or seven jumping frogs. The four or five monkeys were swift, but not difficult to deal with, and the trouble was the jumping frogs, which spewed a green venom from their mouths, which was even three points more powerful than a viper. Fortunately, the pharmacists had already prepared, and after several injured monks took the detoxification pill of Xi Yao Tang, their surnames were unhindered, and they would be fine after an hour of rest.
Du Mu followed behind the team, did not make a move, the monks were in a hurry to show themselves, he really couldn't find a chance to make a move, and he didn't plan to come out too early. The Red List mission is the Red Mang Demon Hunting Group, not to protect the eldest lady of the Xi family. That's right, he took three hundred taels of gold from the other party for nothing. Du Mu had never seen so much money before, the eighty taels of broken silver was the largest wealth he had ever seen, and in the end it was robbed by Hu Li's murder that day, the two hundred taels of gold that he scavenged from the Qingyi Gang a few days ago was already an amazing wealth for him, and now the Xi family sent such a large sum of gold, he had no reason to refuse, and he was afraid of poverty. Five hundred taels, it's not silver, it's gold, how much braised pork can the fuck buy, put it in the past, enough to eat for a lifetime.
"Everyone, now that you have entered the Pomegranate Mountain, please raise your guard and protect my Xi family's pharmacist. Qingling's voice suddenly came out of the crowd.
"Please rest assured, Fairy Xi, even if we fight for this life, we will protect them. ”
"That's it, Fairy Xi, don't worry, the safety of the pharmacists will be handed over to us. ”
Xi Xiaolian bowed her head lightly, and Qing Yue's voice sounded again, "It's so hard for all of you." ”
"Being able to serve Fairy Xi is a blessing for our Taolin monks, the brothers said yes, hahaha!"
"That's right, it's a blessing for us. ”
Xi Xiaolian stopped talking. The pharmacists instructed the crowd to move on.
After entering the medicinal herb area, the team's marching speed slowed down significantly, and forty or fifty monks hula dispersed, diving into the surrounding rocks and trees.
After counting the interest, the return came from all directions at the same time:
"Midday direction, safety. ”
"No direction, no security. ”
"Shen Shi direction, safety. ”
"Hour direction, safety. ”
"Direction, safety. ”
Du Mu was secretly surprised, the monks hired by Xi Yaotang this time were really not simple, and they cooperated so skillfully, obviously they had cooperated not once or twice.
After receiving the reward, more than ten pharmacists climbed down towards the dangerous medicinal herb collection point under the escort of the Xi family. At the foot of that is a hundred feet deep cliff, a stumble, is a place of no return.
The girl in white stood quietly in the mountain highland, the mountain wind blew, stirring her long black hair, a few strands of hair on the corners of her mouth, reaching out to brush it aside, the movement was very charming and moving.
Du Mu glanced at the girl twice, walked to another stone, and sat down with his back to her.
"You don't go to the sentry, what are you doing here. ”
As soon as he sat down, a cold voice sounded from behind, obviously with a little displeasure. Du Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had taken other people's money, and he collected three hundred taels of gold and did not go to work, which was indeed a little unreasonable.
With a wry smile, he stood up and walked towards a mountain peak on the left. The peak was the highest mountain in the vicinity, and it was so high that you could see everything around you.
He could have gone up with Edgeworth, which would have been too amazing, and he didn't want to reveal his strength too soon, so he had to step to the top of the mountain.
Standing on the top of the peak, looking at the monks under his feet, all turned into black dots, and even the girl in white turned into an ant. The feeling in my heart is wonderful: the feeling of stepping on the top of the head of a beautiful woman is so good!
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and his eyes rested on a mountain peak opposite, on which there were several inconspicuous black spots. The two mountains are six or seven thousand zhang apart, but this distance naturally can't stop Du Mu's eyes.
"Well, it's finally appeared, the Red Mang Demon Hunters. ”
There must be more than one person who went into the mountain to collect medicine, and the other party was likely to be a few loose cultivators, but this possibility was not very great, because a few scattered cultivators did not have the courage to climb that mountain. According to those people in Xiyaotang, the mountain opposite is already bordering the three-thousand-mile peach forest. And those people in the peach forest are obviously not interested in collecting medicine, they are only interested in robbery. Seventy percent of those black dots are likely to be red mang's outposts.
"It's a hassle to climb down the mountain. ”
In order not to reveal his strength, he could only choose to walk up the mountain, and now in order not to alarm those red spies, he can only walk down the mountain.
Du Mu walked down the mountain, walked to a person in charge of Xi Yaotang, and reported the news in a low voice.
The steward's face changed, and he quickly ran to Xi Xiaolian and explained the situation.
Xi Xiaopian said: "Don't worry, before we finish collecting medicine, those red mangs won't do anything." He glanced at Du Mu and said lightly: "You did a good job, continue to monitor." ”
Nima, don't play like this, I'll take you three hundred taels of gold, and I'll go up and down the mountain.
Since you said that the group of red mangs will not do anything before the end of the medicine collection, then I will be able to monitor it when I am full. Shaking his head absentmindedly, he walked towards the hollow of the pomegranate mountain, and walked around on his own, leaving the ice and snow beauty with a 'handsome' back.
