Chapter 237: Dragon Seeker
Leaving from the chubby deacon elder, Duan Heng did not follow what the old man said, to visit the employer, but after taking a turn outside the inn where the employer was staying, he went directly out of Cloud City, cast a flying escape spell, and chased in the direction of Kunlun Pass.
Three hours later, he caught up with the caravan that had left in the morning, but he didn't come close to within three hundred miles, because he knew very well that a large caravan like this, escorted by a mercenary group of the second grade, would be an early warning patrol area for hundreds of miles, and what he had to do was not close to it.
The two caravans didn't rush at night, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry, so Duan Heng stood downwind and waited silently for about half an hour, then turned around and returned to Cloud City.
By the time dawn broke the next day, he was standing outside the north gate of Cloud City again.
He wasn't worried that the employer would be furious or that the hunter black market would think he was running away or anything.
Because there is no need, as a butcher-level hunter, even if he agrees to carry out this task, how to complete it, that is his freedom.
Sure enough, after dawn, a team of more than 30 people walked out of the north gate of Yunxiao City, these people, regardless of men, women, young and old, all of them were fierce, and the weakest average strength was the peak of the county government level, and there were only five of them, and the rest were all at the prince level, and the leader was a butcher hunter of the same level as Duan Heng.
But Duan Heng did not see any suspicious 'employers' among these people.
With a clear mind, Duan Heng doesn't need to say anything, because this is all within the reasonable range of the employer's side, there is no need to question anything, the key issue is that he himself must understand his position in this temporary team.
The reward of three million immortal stones is definitely a big deal.
"Excuse me. Your Excellency is Brother Lin Ye, in Xia Xi Dongming, the head of the hunter group this time, this road is not easy, I hope Brother Lin will take care of it, what are the shortcomings. Please ask Haihan one or two. β
The leader of the hunter group introduced very enthusiastically, these are all old fritters, and they know that when they are away, what is the most important factor in a temporary team?
"Where is it, Brother Xi's words are serious, and the subordinates are soft-spoken, but Brother Xi is still the main one. Duan Heng said with a smile, with the mention of the deacon elders, plus his reconnaissance last night. It can be basically determined that before leaving Kunlun Pass, there is nothing to do all the way, as for why you want to go out of Kunlun Pass, it is no more simple, what looks at the countryside and what is disagreeing, but it is just the simplest way to cover your eyes. There's definitely a reason for that.
And, that real employer. I'm afraid that he is hiding very deeply, even if Duan Heng goes to visit last night, he will never see it, at most he can see Xi Dongming.
This is also the reason why he went to chase those two caravans overnight, and when he saw them hurrying unhurriedly, didn't he understand?
Maybe. The first two caravans, plus the one behind them, were just a faΓ§ade.
But this kind of speculation can be thought about in your heart, there is no need to inquire into the roots, everything is centered on the employer.
Believe it. Xi Dongming also knows it very well.
The way they hurry is also simple, escape the law, for their immortal cultivators at this stage of strength, there is no need for any land mounts, it is very convenient and fast to rush by the escape method, you can travel 50,000 to 100,000 miles a day, but in this way, they must rest every day, recover their evil spirit, and at the same time reserve combat power, therefore, there are twelve hours a day, only five hours are used to hurry, and the rest are camped.
Duan Heng also quickly became familiar with Xi Dongming and the others in this state, and what surprised him was that although Xi Dongming's thirty-two hunter group was rated as a third grade, his combat effectiveness and adaptability in the wild were definitely good.
This is also the reason why Duan Heng lowered his body and befriended them.
In their hunter group, there are really a few hard hands, needless to say, Xi Dongming is also a butcher-level hunter, if Duan Heng does not incarnate as an ice dragon and does not play hole cards, then at most he will have a tie with him.
In addition, what really surprised Duan Heng was that there was a pseudo-dragon seeker in their hunter group, which was a genre profession before the Immortal Cultivation Realm was deposed from the Hundred Schools, and it could even compete with Yimen when it was at its most prosperous.
Of course, this kind of thing is like a random fortune teller on the earth can shout that he has obtained the true inheritance, and what the methods of this pseudo-dragon seeker are worth studying.
Next, through the state and county, they traveled for more than two months in a row, traveling nearly five million miles, Duan Heng and Xi Dongming and they were finally about to arrive at Kunlun Pass, and even, they could already see the faint mountain in the distant sky.
But at this time, Xi Dongming's face was ugly and he found Duan Heng.
"Brother Lin, something is wrong, if we continue like this, we will probably be more auspicious. β
Hearing this, Duan Heng frowned slightly, for more than two months, he has been responsible for exploring the way ahead, and at the same time being vigilant around, the spiritual sense has always shrouded the area where the team is traveling, he asked himself if he found any signs, and even every ten days, he would speed up to catch up with the two caravans in front, and everything was always normal.
Now, there are still two days away from Kunlun Pass at most, but Xi Dongming came to tell him that a catastrophe was coming, isn't this a joke?
What kind of place is this, this is the Kunlun Pass where heavy troops are stationed.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Duan Heng did not question it, after all, Xi Dongming was the only commander of their team, and he must give a convincing explanation.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Xi Dongming lowered his voice and said, "I suspect that our whereabouts have been leaked, and in addition, the two caravans in front seem to have suffered an accident, or they are traitors." β
"Whereabouts leaked, haven't we always covered our whereabouts along the way?" Duan Heng was stunned, but his eyes looked at the pseudo-dragon seeker Tang Xiaoxi in shock, Nima, this guy can't really be a dragon seeker, along the way, this guy is always nervous, and he sticks small pieces of paper everywhere he goes, oh, it's to paste talismans, set up formations, watch the direction of the wind, and then determine the itinerary for the next day every night, the reason why they have walked more than a million miles from Yunxiao City to here is entirely because of this guy.
But if this guy is really a dragon seeker, then things are not simple, and the superfluous things she has done are entirely possible to erase the traces of their journey, making it impossible to judge their specific itinerary.
Even if someone sees them, it will be difficult to notice and remember them deeply.
At this time, Xi Dongming smiled bitterly and beckoned, and Tang Xiaoxi, who also had a dignified face and was more divine than a divine stick, walked over and glanced at Duan Heng very vigilantly.
"Xiao Xi, let me explain, Brother Lin can be absolutely trusted. β
"Humph!"
That Tang Xiaoxi snorted lightly in her nose, this is definitely a weird person, her hair is messy like a bird's nest, she is in tatters, and the most unbearable thing is the sour, stinky smell on her body, which can smoke people half to death from hundreds of feet.
It's hard to imagine that she is a woman.
"What is there to explain, the group of people in front of them has either been led astray, or the whole army is gone, I have hidden nine spiritual talismans in their goods, but now I have no sense, what does this mean, it shows that the danger is imminent, and even the other party is about to lock us, and if we don't decide, if we delay, the consequences will be unimaginable. β
What Tang Xiaoxi said was chattering, Duan Heng glanced at Xi Dongming and felt that he didn't believe it very much.
"Uh, Xiaoxi, you said before that we have traitors here, what do you say?" Xi Dongming said again.
"It's not necessarily a traitor, maybe it's an unintentional negligence, don't look around, I'm talking about you, Lin Ye, you are responsible for exploring the way every day, and you don't want to wear the talisman I gave you, so most of the problem lies with you. Tang Xiaoxi stared at Duan Hengdao coldly.
Duan Heng really couldn't laugh or cry, how could he make a mistake with such a powerful spiritual sense? But at this time, he didn't bother to argue, just said perfunctorily: "Okay, I admit my mistake, so what should I do now? Do you want to speed up and avoid Kunlun Pass, and besides, by now, isn't our employer still showing up? What did he want to do when he hired us? Is it so difficult to give a clear goal?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you can't go anywhere to Kunlun Pass, that's a dead end, so decided, Lin Ye, you don't have to explore the road alone, next, I will lead the way." β
Tang Xiaoxi said categorically, Duan Heng and Xi Dongming glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly, Nima, aren't you leading the way along the way?
"I'll go inform the others, Brother Lin, you give Xiaoxi the Dharma Protector. At this time, Xi Dongming said helplessly.
And at this time, Tang Xiaoxi took out a huge beast head, buckled it on his head, and jumped up like a dancing god, and this ridiculous scene, Duan Heng had to see it once a day for the past two months, so that he was speechless to a certain extent.
However, after Xi Dongming walked far away, Duan Heng suddenly heard a mosquito-like voice.
"Don't speak, don't look at me, keep your old demeanor, there is a spy among us, but I don't know who it is, the only thing that is certain is that this spy is not you, don't ask me why, now, you either quit immediately, or fulfill your duties as a butcher hunter, I can guarantee that as long as this mission is completed, you will receive no less than three times the reward." β
"You're an employer?"
Duan Heng was stunned.
"You can think of me as an employer, but it's not me you're trying to protect, so now, it's up to you to decide. β
"Hey, maybe you don't know, I don't really care how many fairy stones I get, and the current situation seems to be beyond the duties of a butcher hunter, then, I think I need to renegotiate the benefits, I need to learn the art of breathing and listening to the wind." Duan Heng said unhurriedly, his request was purely nonsense, and he didn't believe what Tang Xiaoxi said, in short, he would perform the duties of a butcher hunter, but it would never work if he wanted to treat him as a fool.
