Chapter 615

"To put it simply, the black flag means to pay attention, be quiet, and stop. The white flag means that you can move forward, but you should relax a little."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded her head: "En, I understand. This seems to be similar to Jianghu's escorts. By the way, are there also outer disciples in front of us?"

Lu Chaoxian smiled: "That's right. If not, how could the leader of our Dan Expanding Hall know that there is danger in front?"

While they were talking, Lu Lihong, who was riding in front of them, seemed to have heard their conversation. He stopped his horse slightly and waited for Zhang Xiaohua to come closer. He whispered: "Junior Brother Ren, you must not speak. This is the territory of a group of wild pigs. If they are disturbed, it will be very troublesome."

"Wild pigs?" Zhang Xiaohua was surprised and asked softly: "What kind of beast is that? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Lu Lihong frowned slightly and said: "Junior Brother Ren, please restrain your curiosity. After a while, when we are far away from them, I will answer you."

After saying that, he looked around vigilantly and moved forward again.

Seeing that Lu Lihong came over to warn her, Zhang Xiaohua did not ask any more questions. She shrank back and was about to continue practicing.

Suddenly, the leader's flag in front of them was raised again. It shook three times and the carriages stopped. After a while, the black flag quickly shook again. At this time, the outer disciples who were guarding the carriages all jumped down from their horses and used their Qing Gong to walk outside. After ten feet, they held their swords in front of them and looked around nervously.

Seeing that Lu Chaoxian's face was a little pale, Zhang Xiaohua could no longer sit still in the carriage. He slowly walked behind Lu Chaoxian and stood on top of the carriage to look ahead. He saw that the carriages in front were also quietly parked there, as if waiting for something. After a while, the horse at the front became restless. Its hooves kept knocking on the grass, and it snorted from time to time. The disciple who was pulling the carriage quickly jumped down from the carriage and tried his best to calm it down. However, the horse seemed to have smelled something uneasy and refused to stop.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was also alert. She turned to look to the right and saw that about ten feet in front of them, a vague black spot slowly appeared from the lush grass. It was gradually approaching the carriages.

The outer sect disciples guarding the right front also saw this. Immediately, more than ten people rushed forward with their swords in hand. When they were some distance away from the carriages, they quietly crouched down and hid in the bushes.

After half a cup of tea's time, the black spot gradually became clearer. When Zhang Xiaohua took a closer look, she saw that it was a fat wild boar. It was just that its tusks were longer and its body was much bigger.

"This is the Fermented Boar?" Zhang Xiaohua secretly laughed. "Isn't it just a wild boar that's one size bigger."

The Fermented Boar walked forward slowly, as if it did not notice the carriages in front of it. Not long after, it came to the front of the outer disciples who were lying in ambush. Although there was only one Fermented Boar, the ten outer disciples did not immediately move forward and continued to lie in ambush.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled, she saw that behind the Fermented Boar, about ten feet away, a white flag appeared and swayed slightly. Zhang Xiaohua understood that this was probably the outer disciples who were scouting ahead.

Since it was a white flag, it meant that it was safe.

At this time, the Fermented Boar that was walking lazily suddenly stopped and stretched out its nose to sniff the air. Then, it discovered the carriages in front of it. The Fermented Boar opened its mouth and roared fiercely, directly rushing towards the nearest carriage.

The Pill Expanding Hall disciple who was driving the carriage turned pale and his legs were trembling. He could only cast a pleading look at the outer disciples who were hiding in the grass.

Those outer disciples did not panic. They waited for the Fermented Boar to enter the circle before revealing themselves from the grass. They held their swords in their hands and looked at the Fermented Boar with a smile. Their earlier nervousness was gone.

The Ferocious Pig was charging towards the horse carriage when it suddenly saw so many people surrounding it. It seemed to be shocked and immediately stopped. Then, it roared again and charged towards the nearest disciple. Its shining fangs looked extraordinarily ferocious.

Although his face was relaxed, but that disciple did not dare to be negligent. When he saw the Fermented Boar charging in front of him, he did not face it head on but instead turned his body sideways to avoid the Fermented Boar's head. He stretched out his long sword and pierced towards the Fermented Boar's neck. Just as Zhang Xiaohua thought that the sword would definitely hit, the Fermented Boar stopped and twisted its fat body, biting towards the tip of the sword.

"This … is this a wild boar?"

Zhang Xiaohua who was watching the battle from afar almost dropped her chin on the carriage. The Fermented Boar's agility, the ingenuity of its dodging and the angle of its bite was not inferior to a person who knew martial arts.

When Zhang Xiaohua rubbed her eyes to take a closer look, the Fermented Boar was already fighting with the outer disciple.

This Fermented Boar was one size bigger than an ordinary wild boar. It was almost as tall as the outer disciple's waist. When it was angered to the extreme, it raised its two hind legs and pounced forward. It was actually taller than the outer disciple. Although it did not know martial arts, but with its rough skin and thick flesh and agile body, it was almost on par with the outer disciple.

"Ai, so that's how it is. No wonder when the Pill Repository Hall's disciples heard that they were coming to the Youlan Grand Canyon, they were afraid. Just this Fermented Boar alone was not enough to deal with several Pill Repository Hall's disciples. What if a group of Fermented Boars suddenly appeared?"

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood the danger of the "Youlan Dusk Refinement". She suddenly thought: "It seems that this wild boar appears in a group. I wonder if the Fermented Boars also live together?"

However, thinking about the white flag of the scouting disciple, Zhang Xiaohua somewhat understood. This Fermented Boar should have secretly come out to eat wild food and separated itself from the group.

Just when Zhang Xiaohua was distracted, there was a new change in the field. The outer disciple should be familiar with the Fermented Boar's characteristics. The long sword in his hand did not attack other places except for the Fermented Boar's mouth and eyes. Finally, after several attempts, the Fermented Boar's right eye was pierced. With a twist of the wrist, the Fermented Boar's eye was gouged out. Then, as the long sword was pulled out, the Fermented Boar's eye became a bloody hole.

The Fermented Boar was blinded in one eye. It roared again and again, like a madman, it pounced on the disciple.

At this time, the disciple was even more confident. He used his movement technique to constantly dodge, trying to find an opening to cut down the Fermented Boar. After a few more moves, the Fermented Boar was ferocious. The outer disciple could not find any obvious openings.

The leading outer disciple looked around and was somewhat impatient. He waved his hand and shouted: "Junior Brother, don't waste time. This Fermented Boar is yours. We will not fight with you. It's just that this is the Fermented Boar's territory. If it takes too long, there might be an accident. We brothers will help you. Let's hurry."

After saying that, the three or four disciples on the left also raised their swords and attacked. Sure enough, not long after, a disciple took advantage of the chaos to stab the Fermented Boar's other eye. Then, the first disciple stabbed the Fermented Boar's chest. As he pulled out the long sword, the Fermented Boar wailed a few times and crawled on the ground.

The disciple cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Senior Brothers for your help."

One of the disciples laughed: "You don't have to thank us. If you want to thank someone, you should thank this Fermented Boar. It was charging at you. Otherwise, these ten points would have been someone else's."

The disciple smiled and did not say anything. He walked to the Fermented Boar's corpse and grabbed its tail. With a wave of his long sword, he cut off the tail. He turned around and walked to the side of the horse. He took a large leather bag from the horse's back and threw it inside.

The other disciples who were watching the battle also returned to their horses. Everyone reorganized their formation and continued to move forward. After about half a day, the caravan changed direction again. This time, it was heading west.

After a while, Lu Lihong walked to Zhang Xiaohua's carriage and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Ren, have you seen such a ferocious beast?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said: "No, Senior Brother Lu. Previously, you said that the 'Orchid Dusk Refinement' was dangerous, but I didn't care. I only thought that it was just a ferocious beast. How could it be compared to a human?

Now it seems that this Fermented Boar is so powerful. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Senior Brother, but I reckon that I'm definitely not its opponent. At most, I can use Qing Gong to escape. If I face it head on, I will definitely be bitten. "

Lu Lihong's eyes showed a trace of mockery: "The Fermented Boar just now was just an appetizer. It was only a warm-up. If a group of Fermented Boars appeared, then it would be a real fight.

However, you don't have to worry. Even if there is danger, it will be us, the outer disciples, who will charge at the front. "

"Then … Many thanks to Senior Brother Lu and the other outer disciples."

Zhang Xiaohua cupped her hands and said: "That's right, Junior Brother just wanted to ask why we didn't go straight to the west. Instead, we first turned north and then west. Now that I think about it, is it because we will encounter more ferocious beasts if we keep going west?"

Lu Lihong nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. I heard from the Senior Brother in the hall that if we keep going west, it will be the territory of the wolves. Junior Brother Ren also knows that the wolves are far more powerful than the Fermented Boars. If we provoke a group of Fermented Boars, maybe we will be injured a little and be able to safely bring you there. But if we provoke a group of Fermented Boars, then it won't be so simple."

"Why does Senior Brother Lu dare to speak so loudly at this time? I presume that there are no particularly dangerous beasts in this place, right?" Zhang Xiaohua asked again.

"That's right. After the Fermented Boar's territory, we will be heading west for a day. It will be the territory of Piyang and Elk. Their temperament is docile. If we don't provoke them, they won't take the initiative to attack us. So, this day can be considered the most stable part of our journey.

But … "

Zhang Xiaohua was surprised. "But what?"

Lu Lihong sat upright on his horse and looked up at the setting sun in front of him. He said with a strange tone, "It's just that the safest places often hide great dangers. Although this territory belongs to the Piyang and Elk, there are often fierce beasts that come to hunt them. If we happen to run into them, it'll be extremely dangerous!"

"Then why do you say it's the safest?

I thought it wouldn't be dangerous. "

"Because our route passes through the middle of their territories, even if there are ferocious beasts that cross the border to hunt, they will only be at the border of their territories. Almost none of them will come to the central area, so it is the safest route, but …"

Lu Lihong wanted to say something but hesitated.
