People who are struggling in the secular world are either struggling for three meals a day or for money and status. In short, everyone seems to be very busy.
Li Xiuping only said that he was going to the east, but before he said where he was going to the east, these people directly asked Li Xiuping to pay, and then pushed Li Xiuping into a team going to the east, without waiting for Li Xiuping to do anything. No matter what the reaction was, the caravan set off directly on the road, as if rushing to reincarnate.
Encountering a confused person, Li Xiuping followed the group of people out of the city and continued eastward.
The caravan that Li Xiuping followed had a total of fifteen people and five carriages. The one in front was more luxurious. Judging from the depth of the ruts, there should be three people sitting in it, plus the driver, that's four.
The four carriages at the back did not have carriages. They were all filled with goods and covered with oilcloth. Each was driven by one person, and the remaining seven people were all riding horses. They looked very impressive and could barely be regarded as good martial artists.
Except for Li Xiuping, the rest were naturally the martial arts masters who were escorting them, led by a shirtless man. They all chose to walk.
With Li Xiuping's perception, he could naturally tell the depth of these people. Whether they were the men on horseback or those responsible for escorting, they all followed the martial arts route. It was difficult to compare what level of monks they were equivalent to. Two completely different paths.
However, in the carriage in front, there were two people taking the qi-refining route. One of them should have just entered the qi-refining stage, and the other had already reached the foundation-building stage. Judging from the aura, both of them should be women.
Li Xiuping was not curious about these people, so he did not release his spiritual consciousness to perceive them. He just followed the team, determined to be a weakling.
Although there is a carriage, because it is pulling goods, the speed is actually about the same as walking. At this speed, it will have to wait until at least the afternoon to reach the place where the monsters are haunted, and to reach the first city in the east, even if there are no accidents , at least about three days.
Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. Li Xiuping is not in a hurry.
There were no words along the way, and they just moved forward quietly. It was noon before they knew it, and then the team stopped by the road. The people of the caravan came together. Just as Li Xiuping guessed, the carriage in front There were indeed three people inside, and two of them were indeed women.
A girl in purple clothes, about sixteen or seventeen years old, a woman, whose specific age cannot be determined, and then an elderly man.
The old man is just an ordinary person, the girl has just entered the Qi refining stage, and the woman is a monk in the Foundation building stage.
Seeing these two people, Li Xiuping couldn't help but remember that when he first met Chen Wanrong, there was a woman beside her. So many years had passed in a flash.
I don’t know how Chen Wanrong is living in Kunlun Mountain now? What state of practice have you reached?
When those escorts came together, Li Xiuping was alone and without a companion.
Li Xiuping was also happy to have some free time. He found a place to sit by himself, then took off his package and took out some dry food.
This thing was prepared by Mr. Su, and it is of extremely high quality. When compared with those in the hands of those around him, the difference is naturally apparent.
Fortunately, there was nothing else in this package except some changes of clothes and food, otherwise I wouldn't know how that group of people viewed me.
Li Xiuping took the cake and chewed it gently, pouring a sip of wine into his mouth from time to time. Before he finished eating, the group of people started to walk in a hurry again, so Li Xiuping could only get up and follow, swallowing the rest of the food. After taking a sip of water, he hurriedly followed.
After continuing to move forward for a while, the leading man said loudly: "Dayu Mountain is ahead, so cheer up."
As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly became nervous, and then began to change their formation.
Those responsible for escorting walked on the outermost edge, then the men on horseback, and finally the carriages.
Li Xiuping only asked those responsible for escorting to protect him, so it was naturally impossible for the men on horseback to protect him in the center, so Li Xiuping was still alone. Li Xiuping himself was helpless about this.
If there are those men on horseback to protect them, as long as they don't encounter monsters in the Qi Refining Stage, there should be no accidents. Even monsters in the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage can be dealt with with that woman here. There is no need for him to take action.
And in this situation, if he encounters a monster in the Qi Refining Stage and breaks through the defense line of those responsible for escorting him, he and the men on horseback will definitely bear the brunt. Even if they don't want to take action, they will probably be forced to take action. .
However, according to the information received from Mr. Su, although there are many monsters in Dayu Mountain, they are all ordinary monsters with very few Qi refining periods, let alone the foundation building period. Unless you are very unlucky, these A man would not accept this kind of escort mission, so he would only do it if he was sure. It’s hard to protect yourself, and how to make money.
As the team continued to move forward, the atmosphere began to become heavier and heavier. Apart from the sound of horse hooves and footsteps, there was no other sound.
Soon, layers of mountains appeared in front of them. The mountains were high and the forests were dense. At a glance, you could feel that there were huge and unknown dangers hidden among them.
The team continued to move forward. Looking at the posture, they wanted to leave Dayu Mountain before dark.
Judging from the span of Dayu Mountain, it is not difficult to leave before dark.
As we entered Dayu Mountain, the air suddenly became cooler and the sunlight was blocked out.
Perhaps because of the sudden coolness, the originally tense atmosphere had eased a lot, but everyone still did not dare to let down their guard, and their speed also increased a lot, almost all of them were running.
In fact, Li Xiuping was not running slowly. In order to avoid overtaking the people in front of him, he even slowed down. However, the girl felt that the speed was not fast enough, so she blamed Li Xiuping for the lack of speed, saying that it was Li Xiuping. affects their speed.
At this moment, the girl poked her head out of the carriage, but she didn't dare to shout loudly. She wanted to lower her voice, but she was afraid that Li Xiuping wouldn't hear her, so her voice sounded a little strange: "Can you hurry up? If it gets dark, If you haven’t left Dayu Mountain before, no one will be able to protect you then.”
Li Xiuping frowned, then sped up and ran directly to the carriage.
He was worried that he would encounter monsters when walking outside, but now was the opportunity.
As long as you get close to the carriage, even if the escorts can't deal with the monster, there are still these men on horseback, and even the woman will take action when the time comes.
The girl didn't seem to expect that Li Xiuping was so fast, and couldn't help but frown slightly, because Li Xiuping had speeded up and followed the carriage closely, but the speed of the team did not increase much. This was tantamount to saying that he blamed Li Xiuping completely. It doesn't make sense.
The girl looked at Li Xiuping, snorted coldly, and then returned to the carriage, angrily.
The woman looked at her appearance and said with a smile: "Children in the mountains naturally have better physical strength than ordinary people. It is normal."
The girl said: "What's the use of running fast? If we really encounter a monster, we have to protect it."
The woman smiled slightly and said nothing.
After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, and the woman did not see any movement. The three people in the carriage were unaffected and as stable as a rock.
The girl frowned, opened the car curtain, and saw a colorful tiger standing on the road ahead, staring at everyone eagerly.
Next to the carriage, Li Xiuping was also frowning at this moment, because this was clearly a second-level monster, which was equivalent to the foundation-building level.
A foundation-building monster was fine, and the woman could handle it, but Li Xiuping was from Qingyang County after all. After all, he had spent two years in the Night Travel Division and knew the situation of these monsters very well.
Once this kind of monster named Red Earth Tiger appears, there will never be just one, there may be as few as three or as many as ten.
Li Xiuping directly released his consciousness, and soon felt two more on both sides of the road.
Fortunately, there are only two, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes. If there are a few more, even if they cannot directly threaten him, he will definitely need to use some means, and it will only be easier for Taiyi Pavilion and Guan to use them. Those strong men in the Star Tower captured it.
The three red ground tigers will definitely not be able to be dealt with by those martial arts masters alone, and the woman will definitely take action when the time comes.
After she takes action, her aura is released, and Li Xiuping can use her aura to cover it up and look for opportunities to help.
In the carriage, the woman also walked out at this time, squinting at the red earth tiger in front of her, then releasing her senses to observe the surrounding situation.
Feeling the fluctuation of the woman's consciousness, Li Xiuping withdrew his consciousness. It seemed that the woman also knew that the Red Earth Tiger would not appear alone, and judging from her expression, she seemed confident that she could handle it.
The escorting men all took out their weapons at this time and protected Li Xiuping and the carriages in the center, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Obviously, no one expected to encounter such a powerful monster here. If this didn't happen, they would all die here.
The shirtless man said solemnly: "Array up!"
The experts immediately stood up in unison.
The woman said at this time: "There are two more next to you. You are responsible for resisting. I will deal with the one in front. After I take action, you can continue moving as fast as possible."
Everyone nodded at the same time and got ready to fight and run.
Li Xiuping glanced around and felt that he might not need to take action, so he was ready to follow the carriage.
According to the current situation, this woman wanted to directly push back the red ground tiger blocking the road in front, open a way for everyone, and then the remaining two ends would be dealt with by the men responsible for escorting.
In this way, there will definitely be casualties, but since those men received the money, they naturally have to be prepared to pay with their lives. He, Li Xiuping, also gave the money, and there was a lot of it.
The next moment, the woman released her breath directly, and then her whole body left the carriage directly. She took a shadow and rushed towards the red tiger in front. At the same time, a long sword appeared out of thin air in her hand.
After the woman took action, the carriage rushed forward, and then two other red ground tigers appeared on both sides of the road. The men responsible for escorting them rushed forward with weapons in hand.
Li Xiuping stepped forward and followed the carriage closely.
As the woman took action, she used thunderous means to force the red land tiger blocking the road back and clear the way.
The carriage sped past and continued to rush forward.
Behind, the four men driving the carriage kept waving their whips, trying to catch up with the carriage in front. Because the speed was too fast, many goods rolled down and were scattered all over the ground. But no one cared at the moment, because saving their lives was the most important thing. Yes, the goods are gone, it’s just a loss of some property.
When it comes to escaping, Li Xiuping takes second place. I am afraid that no one in the world dares to take first place, because no one will offend so many strong people and be chased by so many strong people like Li Xiuping.
Strong men in the Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Divine Transformation Stage, and even the Distraction Stage have all hunted down Li Xiuping. Now they are directly involved in the two Holy Lands, and they have been looking for him along the way, but until now, he Still good.
Although the girl was sitting in the carriage, she stuck her head out of the carriage and observed the situation behind. However, as the carriage continued to move forward, she soon lost sight of the specific situation behind, so she set her sights on Li Xiuping. , frowned slightly.
This guy is indeed very fast. At this moment, everyone is either riding a car or riding a horse. Only this guy is running with both feet, but he can follow the carriage closely. The key is that he does not blush after running all this way. , my heart didn't beat, and I didn't even take a breath.
The girl snorted coldly: "You run pretty fast."
Li Xiuping replied casually: "I can't help it. I'm being chased all the time, which makes the girl laugh."
The girl continued: "You are lucky today. If you hadn't met us, no matter how fast you ran, you wouldn't be able to outrun those monsters."
Li Xiuping nodded repeatedly.
But the girl thought to herself and said: "Do you know what kind of monster that is? That is the Red Earth Tiger, which is equivalent to a strong person in the foundation building stage..."
She paused, looked at Li Xiuping, rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah, you don't understand even if I tell you this."
Li Xiuping just smiled and said nothing.
The girl continued: "Don't be too happy. As long as you haven't left Dayu Mountain, you may encounter other monsters. I hope you can maintain your current speed, otherwise we won't wait for you."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I'll try my best."
The girl stopped talking and put her head back into the carriage, then popped out from the front of the carriage and said to the man driving the carriage: "Speed up and leave Dayu Mountain in one breath."
After moving forward for a while, they probably didn't encounter any more monsters. Everyone who was originally nervous also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the speed of the carriage also slowed down slightly. It was not to take care of the only one who used his legs. Li Xiuping ran, but to take care of the horse pulling the cart.
Running at the same speed as before, the horses pulling the cart simply couldn't bear it. I'm afraid they would have died of exhaustion before they even left Dayu Mountain.
The man driving the carriage asked at this time: "Miss, is Elder Yang okay?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then said: "What's the problem? She is a strong person in the Foundation Establishment stage. Although the Red Earth Tiger also has the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, he is just a beast after all. How can he compete with Elder Yang who has vast magical powers?"
That's what she said, but her eyes were looking behind her, with a look of worry on her face.
This time she went to the east, not to follow her family to gain knowledge, but because she was spotted by the Immortal Cultivation Sect in the east and wanted to take her to practice. Elder Yang was the person responsible for bringing her to the Immortal Cultivation Sect. .
Once you enter the Immortal Sect, you are qualified to become an Immortal, which is something that countless people dream of.
It's just that she hasn't started yet. If there is something wrong with Elder Yang, even if they can leave Dayu Mountain alive, they will not be able to enter the Immortal Cultivation Sect again, which will cut off her path to Immortal Cultivation.
Besides, Elder Yang treated her very well, almost treating her as his own. If something happened, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it, so naturally she couldn't help but worry about Elder Yang's safety.
She had seen Elder Yang's methods before, and they were indeed very powerful. But now they encountered three red earth tigers, which were equivalent to three foundation-building monks. Elder Yang could really deal with three of them without any harm. Escape intact?
She had no idea.
Li Xiuping saw all this, but just pretended that he didn't see anything.
It was just a chance encounter, not to mention that the girl didn't like him, so some words of comfort were completely unnecessary, because even if he said it, the girl would not only not believe him, but would also mock him, so why bother?
In fact, although the Red Earth Tiger is equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Stage monk, it is almost impossible for the three Red Earth Tigers to stay as a Foundation Establishment Stage monk. What's more, besides that woman, there are many martial arts masters. With the cooperation, they can even kill one of them. Kill, then even if the other two don't run away, they will no longer be able to threaten the woman with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The woman has not caught up until now, just to buy them time, so Li Xiuping can be sure that as long as no other foundation-building monsters appear, the woman will definitely catch up before they leave Dayu Mountain.
As everyone continued to move forward, soon as Li Xiuping guessed, the woman caught up with her, bringing with her the martial arts masters responsible for escorting her.
There was nothing unusual about the woman, but those responsible for escorting were different. Not only were the number less than half, but the remaining people were also injured, and one of them even lost an arm.
From the injuries of these people, we can see how brutal the previous battle was in just a short moment.
Seeing that the woman had returned safely, the girl finally felt relieved. She jumped out of the carriage, ran towards the woman, and asked, "Elder Yang, are you okay?"
The woman smiled and said: "It's just a few red earth tigers. What can happen? As long as we haven't reached the golden elixir stage, relying on my secret method, it won't be a problem to deal with it."
As she said that, she glanced left and right, her eyes lingering on Li Xiuping intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued: "There should be no more monsters next, but you still can't be careless. It's best to leave the place before dark. Yushan, otherwise at night, when monsters appear, once you encounter too many monsters, even ordinary monsters will still be a problem."
Everyone nodded, not daring to make any stop and continued heading east.
Li Xiuping looked at the men responsible for escorting and felt a little unbearable.
If he takes action, these people will naturally not suffer such losses. After all, he has such ability, but he cannot take action, which makes him feel like he is desperate...
