Chapter 3241
Dozens of carriages started moving again. Although the escorts were nervous, they still urged their horses forward. This was the only way to enter the capital of the Jia Sa Kingdom. Beyond these mountains was a sprawling forest filled with wild beasts. There was no way to go.
The only thing they prayed for was that the mountain bandits would not come down the mountain to rob them. They were either drunk, had robbed enough, or had seen that there were enough escorts in their carriages.
Unfortunately, these escorts' luck had already been used up a few days ago when they gambled with Xiao Jian. They had only been on the mountain path for about two hours when their extreme joy turned to sorrow.
After a series of loud gongs, hundreds of bandits dressed in different outfits swarmed out from the side of the mountain ridge where the carriages were located, surrounding the carriages like dumplings. Even if the group of escorts wanted to escape, there was no way for them to do so!
"Hahaha …" While everyone's expression changed, Xiao Jian was covering his mouth and laughing.
That's right, he had nothing on him now. His primordial stones had long been used up. He was the only one who wasn't afraid of the mountain bandits.
"Neigh ~" A loud roar came from the front left of the carriages. A yellow horse turned out from the mountain ridge. The man on the horse was twenty feet tall. He held a long saber in his hand and shouted, "This road is opened by me …"
Then, there was another loud roar that was even louder than before. A bull-like mount came out from the back of the carriage. There was also a valiant person sitting on it, and he shouted with a ferocious face, "This tree was planted by me …"
Soon after, the man stopped talking again. Only some of the bandits on the left were beating their gongs with all their might. When the sound of the gongs faded away, two more burly bandits appeared from the front and the right of the caravan. They shouted, "If you want to pass through here, you have to pay the toll!" That was the best song of all time!
"Strange, what's going on?" Xiao Hua was puzzled. He looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Daoist …" The quick-witted Liu Yi had already opened his eyes. He wasn't nervous at all. He smiled and said, "These four mountain bandits belong to four different strongholds. They said four sentences at the same time, which means that the four of them will attack together today!
I think … they found out about the bet a few days ago and attracted the attention of the four strongholds at the same time!
Normally, they would take turns and only come out when it's the turn of the village! "
"Well, that's the only way …" Xiao Hua came to a realization. He had clearly killed all the birds that were sending messages, and he hadn't seen any suspicious birds flying over these past few days. How could these bandits know the exact amount of treasures in these carriages? Perhaps this was the only explanation!
However, what Xiao Hua didn't know was that although he was cautious, he still made a mistake. Among the information that the birds brought, in addition to the information about the trading company, there was also information about Xiao Hua and the others' Daoist identities, and also a warning to the bandits not to make a move.
However, since Xiao Hua had killed these birds, the mountain bandits naturally wouldn't be able to find out about the warning. Naturally, they would come out to intercept him.
Especially with the existence of Xiao Jian, the Taoist master. Even if these bandits knew about this, would they let go of this great opportunity to make a fortune?
Since Liu Yi knew about it, the other escorts would also know about it. Some of the escorts had already urged their horses forward to collude with the bandits!
Xiao Hua put away his doubts and released his divine sense. He watched with interest as the righteous and evil sides discussed over there. This familiar scene made him believe even more firmly that his original home … was in the Hidden Immortal Continent!
He was being chased by two Nascent Soul experts, but unexpectedly, he profited from a disaster and returned to his homeland!
The collusion only lasted for a short moment before both sides broke down. It wasn't that the bandits wanted too much, it was that the escorts and the trading company wanted to give too little!
Immediately, the sounds of fighting rang out. Under the escort of the escorts, the workers of the carriages risked their lives to break out of the encirclement. The bandits from all directions also raised their weapons and charged forward. When both sides came into contact, casualties immediately appeared!
Although there were many bandits, the majority of them weren't skilled in martial arts. Although there were few escorts, they were all experts. Most of the miserable screams came from the mouths of the bandits. The escorts and escorts were rarely injured.
Just like this, the carriages once again charged forward for a distance of several dozen zhang.
Xiao Hua and the others were also very depressed. At first, Yuan Ya followed behind the carriages. Later, the bandits chased from behind. When Yuan Ya prepared to meet the enemy, those bandits actually let go of the worn-out carriages in the carriages. They didn't even look at Xiao Hua and the others. They directly passed by and challenged the escorts guarding the carriages!
"This …" Xiao Hua looked at these ant-like bandits and didn't know how to deal with them!
He was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he could casually attack and these several hundred bandits wouldn't be able to leave their lives behind, could he do it?
Could he make the lightning from the nine heavens fall on the heads of these bandits who didn't have any magic power?
Even if these bandits' steel blades were once stained with blood …
"Immortal elder … Immortal elder …" In the distance, a faint shout sounded. When it entered Xiao Hua's ears, it was Qi Jin's cry for help.
Xiao Hua glanced at Xiao Jian, who seemed to be rejoicing in other people's misfortune, and didn't seem to have any reaction to this cry for help. Xiao Hua instructed, "Yuanya, go … help Elder Qi!"
"Yes ~" Yuan Ya had long wanted to move. Now that he heard Xiao Hua, he immediately jumped up from the carriage.
"Take the weapon!" Xiao Hua waved his hand and threw the magic wand to Yuan Ya.
With the magic wand in his hand, Yuanya was like a tiger with wings. He leaped into the air among the bandits. Every shadow of the wand would break the bones of the bandits. He was like a tiger in a flock of sheep. He was invincible and was about to reach Qi Jin.
"You brat …" At this time, on the mountain ridge to the right of the carriage, a fat monk holding a crescent moon spade roared. He urged his donkey-like mount to rush down the mountain ridge!
The monk's chest was bare. His two inch long black hair danced in the mountain wind. When he waved the crescent moon spade, it made a "Wu wu …" sound like a ghost's cry!
The donkey was even more strange. When it wagged its tail, it was actually twice as fast as a horse. It rushed down the mountain ridge as if it was flat ground. In a few breaths, it had already arrived in front of Yuan Ya!
"Have a taste of my staff!"
The fat monk roared again. With a "Wu …" sound, the crescent moon spade smashed down with earth-shattering force!
"Clang …" Yuan Ya did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly waved his magic wand to meet the attack. With a deafening sound, the fat monk and the donkey were stopped and almost moved back half a foot. Yuan Ya was shaken off the mountain path. His whole body somersaulted a few times in the air, but he could not dissipate the huge force. After landing on the ground, he was pushed back several feet before he could stabilize himself!
Looking at the area between Yuan Ya's thumb and index finger, there was a faint trace of blood. The area between his thumb and index finger was actually split by this attack!
"Awesome!"
Yuan Ya's eyes flashed with a fanatical expression. His legs moved, and with a trembling hand, he waved the magic wand and rushed toward the fat monk!
"Hahaha …" The fat monk also laughed and urged the donkey to fight with Yuan Ya!
The fat monk was also very good. The crescent moon spade flew up and down. It was a match for Yuan Ya. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, there was no clear winner. However, Xiao Hua could see that Yuan Ya did not have many moves, but each of his moves was dangerous, forcing the fat monk to be tired. Coupled with the weight of the magic wand, Yuan Ya gradually gained the upper hand.
Although the fat monk's moves were very tight, his strength was slightly inferior to Yuan Ya's. He also did not have Yuan Ya's fearless fierceness. Soon, he was at a disadvantage.
He might be fine for now, but after a long time, he would definitely be defeated.
"Haha, fake monk!
You also have a day like this! "
The fierce man who had been standing at the back of the caravan on his bull-like mount laughed loudly. He raised the steel spear in his hand and shouted.
"Second Brother Ji, if you don't help me, that cheap sister of yours will be a widow!"
The fat monk was finally able to catch his breath under the shadow of Yuan Ya's staff and shouted loudly. Just as the fat monk finished speaking, "Wu …" The sound of a staff whistling interrupted the fat monk's shout.
"This old man is coming …" The fierce man called Second Brother Ji urged the old bull under him. The bull's hooves actually emitted a faint smoke, and it rushed toward Yuan Ya.
"Hmph …" Xiao Hua sneered. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance. A clear and slightly childish voice sounded. "Bold mountain bandit, you actually dare to do such a wicked thing in broad daylight. Eat my sword!"
Not only was Xiao Hua shocked, even Second Brother Ji who was about to attack Yuan Ya turned around to look.
Dozens of feet away, there was a large green horse. On the horse, there was a scholar who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old!
This scholar was wearing a green scholar's robe. His thin lips were tightly shut, and he held a three foot long green sword in his hand. Under his sword-like eyebrows, his bright eyes flashed with hatred.
Although the green horse's back was as bumpy as waves, the scholar stood steadily on the horse's back. When he got a little closer, the scholar's figure jumped from the horse's back. Using the horse's momentum, he rushed into the air and pierced toward Second Brother Ji like a wild goose!
"Still wet behind the ears little brat!
You don't even dare to tell me your name, and you actually dare to be so serious with your grandfather! "
Second Brother Ji saw that the sword light was like a star, sweeping through the air and piercing toward him. He couldn't help but sneer. Pointing his spear in the air, he roared and turned around to meet the scholar flying toward him!
"Clang, clang, clang …" The scholar's robe fluttered in the air. The sword light was like a floating frost, and the steel spear was like a horned plum blossom in the flying frost.
The moment the scholar and the bandit met face to face, they immediately exchanged several moves. The scholar's figure was forced to dodge in the air by the bandit. After borrowing the force of the attack several times, he finally had no choice but to land on the side of the mountain ridge.
"Where did this scholar come from …" Second Brother Ji seemed to be somewhat afraid of this scholar. He shook the steel spear in his hand and coldly said, "Which academy are you from?
You have no business here, so you should leave early!
You are not my opponent! "
"Hahaha ~ In broad daylight, when is there a place in the Hidden Immortal Continent where a thief can teach a scholar a lesson?"
The scholar waved his green sword, and a green light flashed. He coldly looked at Second Brother Ji and loudly said, "I am not willing to tell you my name because you thieves don't deserve to hear my name!
If you hear my name, it will be an insult to me for no reason! "
