Gongsun Kang looked at the seven partners around him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, along the way, the eight of them worked together to repel most of the monsters who came to attack, and yesterday they entered the territory of Fengdu, and the caravan encountered an unprecedented sneak attack by the demon king, and more than ten scattered cultivators with the cultivation of the Earth Evil Realm died on the spot. Fortunately, he met the help of a group of sect monks wearing silver robes, and he was able to save the day.
In this encounter, although the monks who were responsible for protecting the caravan obtained the body of a demon king, they also suffered heavy losses, not to mention the casualties, but the consumption of charms, spirit stones, and damaged magic weapons, which had made them unable to face a large number of monsters again.
Since entering the territory of Fengdu, the frequency of monster haunts has become higher and higher, and no one regrets these casual cultivators who have lived in danger for many years. Compared with the sect monks, who are unwilling to be bound by the rules of the sect, they have long been accustomed to this life and death life in which people die in battle every day.
"Brother Ning, I think we should call Old Man Lu over now to discuss the rest of the trip!"
It was already noon, and the mortals in the caravan began to feed their hunger with dry food, so the speed of the march slowed down a lot, and the old man Lu in Gongsun Kang's mouth was the only one in this team of twelve sect monks who were the leader.
Originally, before leaving, Gongsun Kang and the others learned that there were monks from the Guangwu Sect, a medium-sized sect in the Lu State, so they relaxed and set off from Jiyang, an important town in the Lu State.
Along the way, Gongsun Kang and other scattered cultivators were completely cold, because this Guangwu Sect Elder Lu, who was not weak in cultivation, was extremely selfish, as a sect monk, not only looked down on them as a casual cultivator, but also saw death and could not save them, the last time they encountered the demon king, if it wasn't for these Guangwu Sect monks who only wanted to protect themselves, it would be impossible to die a dozen middle-level monks of the Earth Hell Realm in a short time.
"Brother Gongsun, I think it's okay, Old Man Lu is selfish, we buy their Guangwu Sect's charms and other consumables, and the bid is more than twice as high as the market, and we are fooled with defective products from the goods, if it weren't for the high bid of the shipper this time, Lao Tzu really wanted to cut this old thing!"
When the monk surnamed Ning heard Gongsun Kang mention the old man Lu of Guangwu Sect, all the grievances that had been in his stomach broke out at this time. Just when Gongsun Kang was a little hesitant, a red-faced and black-robed man approached the two of them and said, "Two big brothers, I think this matter is easy to handle, let's use the body of the demon king as a bargaining chip!"
Before the red-faced monk finished speaking, the others immediately objected: "No, the corpse of that demon king was exchanged for more than a dozen of our dead brothers, and we can't cheapen that damn old thing!"
Gongsun Kang seemed to understand what the red-faced monk meant, he waved his hand to stop his companion from saying a word, and said to the red-faced monk, "Brother, go on!"
The brothers around the red-faced monk stopped talking, and then he spoke: "I think so, Old Man Lu is so greedy for money and selfish, and his fellow disciples are all snobs, we might as well be like this!"
When Gongsun Kang and the monk surnamed Ning heard the red-faced monk's words, they immediately felt that it was feasible, so they immediately asked Wei Zhenyuan, the head of the caravan, to be the middleman, and to deploy the scattered cultivators on the left and right flanks of the caravan, and let the Guangwuzong monks led by Old Man Lu play the vanguard.
At this time, Gongsun Kang and the others learned that Wei Zhenyuan, the leader of the caravan, was already dissatisfied with the Elder Lu of the Guangwu Sect, and the monks in charge of the palace were all monks directly under the Wei Clan's own business group, and most of the cultivators were in the Hell Realm.
"Gongsun Immortal Master, this time the monks of our Wei Clan Business Group will live and die with you, I am in charge, as long as you arrive in Fengdu safely this time, your reward will be doubled, and these spells and magic weapons will also be given to you!"
Wei Zhenyuan looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, with a half-foot-long beard, a white face, and a weak scholar's dress, Gongsun Kang and other casual cultivators did not expect that this person was not only courageous, but also very responsible, and even took it upon himself to give them some of the charms and magic weapons in the goods.
Gongsun Kang and other scattered cultivators and Wei Zhenyuan did not expect that Wei Zhenyuan's generosity this time not only won a lot of casual cultivators for the Wei merchant group, but also helped this caravan escape the catastrophe.
In the afternoon, the team was replenished, and accelerated again, and when it was close to evening, they came to a town that was already empty to rest, this town used to be not too far from Fengdu, and at the speed of this caravan it would be able to reach the post station outside Fengdu in another day, and it would be completely safe when they arrived at the post station.
Just when the team was about to enter the town to rest for the night, Gongsun Kang discovered something unusual in the town, although the monk who went to explore the path sent a safety signal but did not return, and the demonic aura in the town was far more pervasive than in the wild.
"Brother Ning told the brothers to be on guard, don't enter the town first, the situation is not right!" Gongsun Kang said to the monk surnamed Ning.
The monk surnamed Ning had also found that the situation in the town was too strange, so he sent a message to the left-wing monk he was in charge of: "Everyone immediately stand on guard, there is a situation!"
With the order of Gongsun Kang and the monk surnamed Ning, the merchant group immediately gathered the long convoy together, the outer part was rough and thick-skinned foot beasts, and the middle was full of pack horse vehicles.
"Cut, a group of things that don't enter the stream, such a little demon strength of the monster scared them!" "Elder Guangwu Zonglu hid the cultivation of his Tiangang Realm Great Perfection Realm cultivator, as a sect monk, he was well-informed, and immediately judged that there were some insect monsters entrenched in the town, and they were not even monsters.
However, this time this Guangwu Sect's Elder Lu judged the right calculation but made a mistake, and suddenly the two Guangwu Sect monks who were in charge of exploring the path screamed and turned around and ran back, but they didn't run a few steps before they fell to the ground and wailed, and soon they were motionless.
Gongsun Kang's eyes were sharp, and when the dead Guangwu Sect monk rushed out of the town's house, he discovered that the two monks had been poisoned.
"Brother Ning, do it now!"
Colorful five-element shields suddenly rose around the caravan, and several monks with flying magic weapons immediately rose into the air, cooperating with the monks on the ground to form a three-dimensional defense.
The caravan had barely defended itself when there was a strong buzz in the air, followed by a large cloud of ash emerging from several inns and larger houses in the town.
"It's a poisonous bee! Everyone be careful, don't let this low-level monster get close to us!" Gongsun Kang once saw the power of poisonous bees, and immediately ordered his companions to launch a long-range attack.
Because the spell of the fire attribute can be harmful to the demons and monsters, it has become a compulsory spell for the monks of the scattered cultivation and the sect, and the monks of the Wei family merchant group are even better at this, only to see more than a dozen monks gathered together, forming a formation, as they pinch the trick and chant the spell, a fire cloud with a radius of dozens of zhang appeared in the sky twenty or thirty zhang away from the caravan, completely protecting the front of the merchant group.
The fire cloud launched a fire rain attack towards the large group of poisonous bees that flew quickly, engulfing a large group of poisonous bees, and the dense fire rain that fell burned the two groups of poisonous bees one after another, but the subsequent poisonous bees actually bypassed the attack of the fire cloud, because the flight speed of the poisonous bees was too fast, and the fire cloud obviously belonged to the defensive type of defensive spells that moved too slowly, and could not keep up with the poisonous bees at all.
The poisonous bees are not big, only three or five times the size of ordinary bees, about the size of an adult's finger, but they all have hideous faces, black and yellow markings on their bodies exude a strange light, and their tails carry a stinger glowing with blue light, and the buzzing sound of their wings startled those pack horses to scurry around.
Other cultivators sent out fireballs, rockets, fire knives, and other means to kill many poisonous bees, but more and more poisonous bees poured out of the town, and the largest group of poisonous bees turned out to be thousands, and among them was a queen bee whose head was the size of an adult's fist.
"Brother Ning, protect the Dharma for me!" Gongsun Kang had already come to the front of the caravan at this time, standing on the body of a huge walking beast.
The monk surnamed Ning received the message from Gongsun Kang and hurriedly came to the front with a few brothers. At this time, with the attack of the poisonous bees, the shields of the five elements in many places were dissolved by the poison of the stingers emitted by the poisonous bees, and five or six monks had already died tragically.
Before Gongsun Kang advanced to the Tiangang Realm, he once found an ancient monk's cave in a deserted jungle and obtained an extremely powerful jade talisman. Later, he relied on the nameless exercises recorded on the jade talisman to cultivate greatly, and with this jade talisman that he called the Vermilion Bird Talisman, he repelled many strong enemies, and killed a demon king who had only advanced.
When the monk surnamed Ning saw Gongsun Kang take out a jade talisman with a shining spirit, he knew that this thing must be a treasure, so he opened an earth-attribute shield with an area of two zhang square in front of Gongsun Kang, this shield can be regarded as a treasure at the bottom of his box, and it is a magical power attached to a silver shield in his hand.
Elder Lu of the Guangwu Sect and the nine disciples of the sect were holding on to one place at this time, holding a rare large-scale fire attribute shield, which was able to destroy poisonous bees and was enough to protect themselves, still holding on to saving themselves, turning a blind eye to the life and death of those scattered cultivators nearby, Elder Lu They didn't expect that soon the god of death would come and summon them to hell.
The jade talisman in Gongsun Kang's hand suddenly shone brightly, and a vermilion bird with a body of more than a foot let out a loud phoenix chirp and flew into the air from the jade talisman in his hand.
I saw this fire-filled Suzaku fluttering its wings, as if dancing, and a large number of fist-sized firebirds appeared from the long phoenix tail feathers behind it.
Elder Lu saw this scene with a greedy look in his eyes, what danger will the caravan of the Wei Clan encounter next, please watch the next chapter of the Earth Bear King!
