Just when the soldiers relaxed and even General Zuo relaxed his vigilance, the surrounding situation gradually changed. The birds disappeared and there was no trace of the small animals grazing on the roadside.
After all, General Zuo had led troops to fight. After a while, he realized something was wrong. He immediately raised his hand to stop the team and ordered the soldiers to protect Salo's carriage.
The surroundings were really quiet, eerily quiet, as if monsters would rush out of the darkness the next moment and catch them all in one fell swoop. When the coachman Unoki Taro was brought over by the soldiers, his body was shaking with fear.
Before, Sara was so steadfast in his oath and sure, and he was vouching in front of the general again. Now the situation is strange. Is the general looking for him to settle the score?
If only she hadn't said those words, his life would have been in danger later.
Even if he escapes this disaster, his business will probably be affected after he returns. Those guests heard that he had led the official astray, and they were afraid that the official would get angry without him telling them, and they might even publicize his lack of professional skills. How would he make a living then?
Unoki Taro clenched his molars, his eyes filled with red bloodshot eyes. He suddenly turned back to look at the Solo Chariot. Women are indeed the filthiest things in the world. They are born to bring misfortune to the people around them. Yes, it must be her fault, not his ability!
The curtain of the carriage was opened from the inside, Sara wrapped a bunch of things in a piece of cloth, jumped out of the carriage, crossed Unoki Taro, and went straight to General Zuo.
General Zuo commanded the soldiers to be on guard with a worried look, and he was constantly observing the surroundings while riding on his horse.
There was a noise from a dense bush ten feet away. If nothing else, there must be a monster hiding there.
"General Zuo! I have something here that may be useful against monsters!" Sara shouted anxiously when she was still several steps away from General Zuo, and then threw the package over.
General Zuo caught the package and opened it, only to see many black sticks scattered around inside. He didn't know what kind of material these sticks were made of. When he pressed the obvious bulge on the stick, lightning crackled out from the end of the stick.
As someone who often fights abroad, General Zuo immediately realized their wonderful use.
These electric batons were redeemed by Sara from the system mall. The unit price was five points. Ten electric batons cost her half of her points.
After General Zuo thanked Sara, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to distribute the electric batons. Of course, he also kept one for himself to use with the musket.
The electric baton played a huge role in the battle. Not long after the monster rushed out, he was shocked by the electric baton.
The Musketeers seized the opportunity and focused their fire on the monster.
Perhaps knowing that there was no way to please them, a few monsters wandered away and disappeared in front of everyone.
Things happened and went away quickly, leaving both General Zuo and Suo Luo with lingering fears.
"General Zuo, this is the monster's lair. We should leave quickly. I know a safer way, but do you need me to lead the way?" Sara knew that the disgusting monster had not gone far, and her expression was a bit serious.
As a native of the Warring States Period, General Zuo had seen many monsters harm people, so he naturally knew that it was dangerous to stay in the monster's lair, so he quickly asked her for guidance.
Following in the footsteps of Sara, the team of a hundred people crossed the mountains and ridges cautiously.
The mountains and forests blocked out the sun, thorns on both sides scratched his face, the air was stuffy, and the horses slipped from time to time on the slippery leaves. General Zuo felt that the road was longer than his life.
General Zuo used his knife to clear the way for Sara. He opened his mouth to question but could not speak out. He could only wave the knife like a soulless thorn-chopping machine like the enemy who killed his father.
Fortunately, the system is still useful. More and more small animals are coming along, and the clear chirping of birds can be heard above their heads, which means that they are far away from the monster.
General Zuo rarely showed joy.
Sara was relieved when she saw that she was not led the wrong way.
There were more red bloodshot eyes in Taro Unoki's eyes, and he didn't look as happy as them.
After this ups and downs of mood, General Zuo looked at Unoki Taro and ordered the scouts to explore the surroundings. After knowing that the environment was not serious, he led the team to find a water source nearby to rest temporarily.
The mission of going out to find knives this time was important. General Zuo was fortunate to have brought a lot of muskets. Only a dozen soldiers were seriously injured, and the overall strength of the team was not seriously damaged.
General Zuo patrolled around and felt completely relieved.
It was already dark by this time, the frogs in the river croaked louder than the others, the camp fire exploded with small sparks, and nearly half of the soldiers collapsed on the ground to rest.
After taking care of the team's affairs, General Zuo didn't waste any time and immediately found Suo Luo to discuss the next itinerary.
Sara was also very tired, so she washed herself briefly with the water heated by the soldiers. When she heard that General Zuo was coming, she quickly put down what she was doing.
"General Zuo, is there something urgent?"
General Zuo felt ashamed, and the rough man's face turned slightly red: "It was the last general's fault that he didn't believe in the city lord before. If the city lord hadn't disregarded his past grievances and helped again and again, brothers might have been buried in the mouth of the monster today."
"I took the position of city lord based on mediocrity. There is nothing wrong with General Zuo being more cautious." Sara smiled and patted General Zuo on the shoulder, then changed the subject and asked, "Are those electric batons easy to use?"
"It's really a divine thing!" General Zuo Nuanxin gently uncovered it from Sara, and when he regained his senses, he praised it without hesitation.
After some flattery, General Zuo took the initiative to ask. "City Lord, do you have any ideas for the next journey? Or, are there any monsters blocking our way?"
It's not that General Zuo is worrying blindly. Those knives are too important to be lost. What's more, the soldiers are injured and the troops cannot be allowed to continue to be damaged.
When Sara heard General Zuo talking about business, she couldn't help but look serious.
"There are three monster lairs ahead. General, don't worry too much. The team will just follow me from now on. I will try my best to prevent the soldiers from being put in danger."
After getting the affirmative answer, General Zuo felt a little more at ease. He took some anti-inflammatory medicine from her. After thanking her solemnly, he hurriedly found the soldiers who were more seriously injured.
For these injured soldiers, Sara spent another ten points.
It cost 60 points to buy electric batons and anti-inflammatory drugs. The 100 points that could be paid on credit now only have 40 points left.
Not only did I not earn any points from the system, but I also used up more than half of them.
Here, Sara can finally have a good rest; in the dense forest on the other side of the river, a pair of masters and servants are talking about her and a group of soldiers accompanying them.
"Your Highness Sesshomaru, the group of people opposite are also looking for Totosai." A little kappa wearing a court uniform approached with a human-head staff and said to the man with a broken arm sitting on the ground with a serious look on his face.
The man has snow-like white hair, a furry white fur on his shoulders, and a white dress with red cherry blossom patterns on the corners. His waist is bound by a yellow and blue belt.
He sat quietly under the big tree, his eyebrows were gentle as he lowered his eyes, and that gentleness perfectly matched his noble aura. When the wind blew, it seemed as beautiful as the arrival of an immortal.
Sesshomaru pursed his lips invisibly, showing no interest in what Xie Jian said.
"I heard that they came from the Sara Kingdom. If they can get here, they must be very good at finding Totosai. You must know that this place is very close to the volcanic lava land." Xie Jian didn't mind Sesshomaru's reaction at all.
Totosai is well-known for refining swords in the demon world. Their master and servant only came here with a human-headed staff. I don’t know why those humans came here, which really makes the demon curious.
"There are people among humans who can lead the way." Sesshomaru looked down upon humans, but he had to admit that humans could always use their lives to pave a way for future generations.
I didn't say anything about my evil views, and I felt silent in my heart for the weak human beings.
"Then you have to leave early, don't let them take advantage of you. If humans are followed behind, the monsters will be unhappy." Silence for silence, evil views have no mercy on humans.
Sesshomaru did not respond to the evil view, and looked towards the unknown distance with empty eyes.
At the burial site of his father, General Inu, his half-demon brother broke his left arm using the iron teeth left behind by his father. Sesshomaru often did this. Xajian really wanted to make Sesshomaru happy, maybe just find Totosai.
Totousai will definitely be able to create the most powerful demon sword, countless times stronger than the one left to the half-demon by General Inu.
…
You can't stay by the river for a long time. General Zuo got up early in the morning and urged the soldiers to pack up and leave quickly. It was too hot to leave if they started late.
After being driven up early in the morning, Unoki Taro wanted to make up for his mistakes today. When he heard that Sara would lead the way from now on, he couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes.
It's daybreak, I can see the road ahead clearly, I've hastily made breakfast, and I'm ready to set off.
Just as the team was heading east, the evil master and servants on the other side saw that it was dark and headed west.
The two parties have the same destination, but are going in completely opposite directions.
Ever since Sara brought the team out of trouble yesterday, General Zuo has no longer underestimated Sara's ability to lead the way. The team will definitely go wherever she tells them to go that day.
Even when faced with thorns, General Zuo smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Unoki Taro was so angry that his palms were bleeding without even realizing it.
Sara was once a princess, and now she is the new city lord of Sara Kingdom. She has never cared about Unoki Taro from the beginning to the end, and now that she has the right to speak, she will not give him more looks.
Her energy was now focused on leading the way. For example, there was a monster nest right in front of the corner they had just turned. They needed to cut a path through the thorns in front of them and bypass the nest.
Xie Jian kept moving forward according to the instructions given by the human-headed staff, and he never doubted himself even though he was going in the opposite direction to the group of people from Salo.
Another night came, at this moment, Xie Jian threw the human-headed staff twice but did not believe in Xie, and threw the human-headed staff into the air again.
The situation was the same as the previous two times, the man with the human head and the staff was still laughing. That male face was full of ridicule, both in his expression and in his laughter.
A woman crying means going the wrong way, and a man smiling means he has reached his destination. The place in front of their master and servant was deserted, and there was no trace of Totozai's residence.
"Quack!" In the empty wilderness, the man's laughter was so obvious.
As his master, Sesshomaru's laughter seemed not to laugh at evil views, but to laugh at him.
Feeling the dangerous aura coming from the big demon in front of him, Xie Jian froze.
Suddenly, Sesshomaru's whole body was filled with murderous aura, and a whip made of demonic energy was swung out from the tip of his right index finger. It flew through the air from the head of Zakian's head and whipped several wolves that were waiting behind him to fly up.
After this, the remaining wolves did not dare to step forward and slowly retreated.
Xie didn't dare to move at all, his eyes widened, he glanced back slightly from time to time, and soon secretly swallowed a sip of saliva.
Sesshomaru turned and left without even looking at it.
"Your Highness Sesshomaru, wait for Xijian!" Xijian caught the fallen staff and yelled to follow him.
Bang!
As I was running, I accidentally stumbled under my feet. Xie Jian didn't dare to delay, so I got up and chased after him again.
After a while, there was only one shadow of the moon-white shadow ahead.
"The human-headed staff can't find the right place, can those humans really find it?" After finally catching up with Sesshomaru, Xie Jian stood at the stern of the boat and analyzed it.
"It seems that human beings still have some abilities. Why don't we go back and catch the leader to lead us?" Xie Jian had a strong will to survive after what happened before, and with his eyes rolling, he pushed the matter to Sara and his party. The more he talked, the more he said. The speed of speaking is getting faster and faster in a serious manner.
Sesshomaru sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, pursed his lips, and instantly grasped the human-headed staff, using the awl to lift the evil view into the water.
"Gululu," the evil view floated like an inflated balloon, blowing bubbles while continuing to prove the feasibility of this method, "Your Highness Sesshomaru, listen to me...Gululu."
Monsters can also travel at night, and the master and servant quickly caught up with Sara and his party based on their scent.
Day by day and day after day, the human group is still the same as before. In this era when monsters are everywhere, this seems too incredible.
General Zuo was also in disbelief. There weren't even any more injured soldiers?
You must know that monsters are not stationary. Even so, they still came over without any danger. General Zuo looked at Sara as if he were a treasure, his eyes filled with brilliance.
"General Zuo is very strict in running the army. He makes the soldiers follow orders and prohibitions. His contribution is no less than mine. You must have a good rest tonight." Sara did not criticize General Zuo for not letting down his guard, but used praise as a reminder.
"Um," General Zuo scratched his head in embarrassment, but he thought about going on patrol later, "It's getting late. City Lord, please have a good rest. I also have to go see how the brothers are settling in."
Saying goodbye to General Zuo, Sara turned around and saw two figures, one tall and one short, flashing across the woods in the distance, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.
Suo Luo just dismissed it as an illusion, blinked, washed up, and prepared to rest. A good body would not hold him back.
It was a critical period to change General Zuo's view of her, and Sara didn't want to suffer a sudden illness.
In the woods, Xie Jian tried his best to highlight its role and prove that it was not a waste. He pointed his human-headed stick at Sara: "Your Highness Sesshomaru, this woman will lead the way."
Sesshomaru stood quietly.
"As long as we catch her, His Highness Sesshomaru will be able to find Totosai. By then, the half-demon's iron broken teeth are nothing. The sword Totosai forged for His Highness must be countless times stronger than it!"
After Xijian finished speaking, he quickly ran away with a human-headed staff that was several times taller than it was: "Your Highness Sesshomaru, Xijian will go and capture that woman for you right now!"
