What the old man surnamed Zhang just said was true. He couldn't deal with the blood rice, and it was impossible for the caravan to detour through the wilderness.
Now, they only have two options.
First, just retreat and leave, returning to Baishi City. But if you do this, Gu Haoguang's hard-won opportunity to prove himself will be lost.
For a long time, he will not have the opportunity to touch family affairs again.
Second, temporarily retreat and station on the Fu Road, waiting for the officials to send someone to deal with it.
As the main talisman road to Yehuai County, if something weird like blood-muscular rice appears here, the officials will definitely send someone to deal with it.
However, this time will be flexible.
At this time, it was not safe for so many of them to wait on the talisman path.
Gu Haoguang's face slowly calmed down. He looked at the Xuejinda in front of him again, with helplessness in his eyes. He said, "Mr. Zhang, Yehuai County... is not going."
"Let's go back."
"Young Master, you..." The expression of the old man named Zhang became subtle. He did not expect Gu Haoguang to make a decision so quickly.
It was still a very unfavorable decision for him personally.
The old man surnamed Zhang could imagine that once he returned to Baishi City and Gu Haoguang's mission was not completed, no matter what the reason, his family would definitely blame him.
It would be rare for him to have such access to family affairs again.
"Ah…"
Gu Haoguang laughed at himself and said with a wry smile, "I can't make the decision to stay here."
“If we really make that decision, people will definitely die here.
And I can't do that. "
Being kind to others would be cruel to oneself. The old man named Zhang did not approve of Gu Haoguang's approach. If he was asked to make a decision, he would definitely choose to stay.
But he couldn't help but admire Gu Haoguang in his heart. This young master was a very good person.
"Young Master is kind, since... you have made a decision, then let's..."
Uh-huh!
Before the old man named Zhang finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged beside him.
This figure slowly solidified, revealing Jiang Yan's face.
"You two, please give way." Jiang Yan smiled at Gu Haoguang and the old man named Zhang who looked confused.
"Are you... that gentleman who was on the Talisman Road just now?" The old man surnamed Zhang spoke while recalling.
"good eyesight."
Jiang Yan replied casually, his eyes fixed on the blood-muscular rice in front of him, and his eyes lit up.
"Hmm... Blood Muscle Rice, third level."
"It's really good luck."
Jiang Yan drew his sword, swept it across, and a semicircular sword energy spread out.
The weird blood-muscular rice doesn't move, so it's a living target for him.
As for the so-called rice grain attack, it must be preserved intact under his sword energy.
"Your Excellency, no, this is blood-muscle rice." The old man surnamed Zhang shouted sternly. He didn't expect this young man who suddenly appeared to be so reckless. When he saw the blood-muscle rice, he immediately drew his sword and attacked.
Thinking of the counterattack of thousands of rice grains after the Blood Muscle Rice was attacked, it was the combined attack of tens of thousands of Gang Qi realm warriors.
"It's over..."
Now, he will die, Gu Haoguang will die, and everyone in the Gu family caravan will die.
…
"It's really over, so fast."
Gu Haoguang's eyes were dull. What did he see?
He only saw Jiang Yan's two actions, drawing out the sword and inserting the sword.
Jiang Yan just struck out with a sword, and the blood-muscle rice field was swept away by the majestic overbearing flame energy and turned directly into ashes. This was a crushing force in terms of strength, and the blood-muscle rice field was directly piled to death with the huge innate gas.
call!
Countless wisps of fine black and gray smoke rushed towards Jiang Yan's left hand.
"It's a pity that the entire rice field is just a third-level monster. If this is a group of monsters, it will be a bloody gain."
"Forget it, don't be too greedy."
Jiang Yan thought this way and stepped forward. He was going to continue on his way.
"Your Excellency, please stay!" A slightly excited voice shouted loudly from behind.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yan paused and turned around.
"Your Excellency, I'm Gu Haoguang of Baishi City. I'm willing to pay. I hope you can protect me until Ye Huai. The price will satisfy you!" Gu Haoguang's heart started beating wildly as Jiang Yan stared at him.
He was nervous.
"You mean to hire me and protect your caravan to Yehuai County?" Jiang Yan fixed his eyes on Gu Haoguang and asked softly.
"Yes."
Gu Haoguang nodded and said, "To be honest, senior, this trip to Yehuai is very important to me personally."
"I am willing to give up all my money to ask for your protection."
Compared with his savings at the moment, completing this transaction is the most important. After all, as long as this transaction is completed, he will slowly take control of some industries after returning to the family, and his efforts will be rewarded more.
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Haoguang with a half-smile, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will be malicious to you and others and kill you all and take away your property?"
The atmosphere here suddenly became dull and depressing with Jiang Yan's words. The old man surnamed Zhang stared at Jiang Yan closely. He had already made a decision in his heart. If Jiang Yan showed signs of taking action...
He wanted to escape as soon as possible.
"Senior is joking." Gu Haoguang tried his best to keep his face calm and said, "If you want to take action, you can do it just now, why wait until now?"
Gu Haoguang looked as calm as a dog, but he was a little panicked in his heart.
Jiang Yan stopped talking to Gu Haoguang. This Gu Haoguang was somewhat courageous. He didn't know his identity or his character, so he dared to hire him.
This is also an adventure.
But Jiang Yan was not prepared to agree to Gu Haoguang. He had a lot of elixirs on his body and there was no shortage of cultivation resources for the time being.
Most importantly, this team is too slow and will waste his time.
"Feel sorry."
After Jiang Yan whispered something, he started to move and left quickly.
After Jiang Yan left, the old man surnamed Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Yan put too much pressure on him. He could kill a bloody rice field with one sword. With this kind of strength, he could easily be killed.
No one wants to be with a stranger who can easily kill him, regardless of whether he has malicious intentions or not.
"Young Master, you just... took too many risks."
"I know." Gu Haoguang shook his head gently, "He has no ill intentions toward us."
"You have also seen that after the Lord Xuejinda was killed just now, he had no intention of communicating with us at all. He planned to leave directly."
"It's precisely because of this that I decided to spend a large amount of resources to ask your Excellency to protect me. Unfortunately..."
…
The Gu family's matter was just a small episode for Jiang Yan.
He didn't take it to heart.
As night fell, Jiang Yan stopped. He arranged the talisman array on the talisman path and prepared to spend the night.
Because of the protective talisman formation, he did not light the bonfire.
Jiang Yan took out the food and after filling his stomach, he sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly closed his eyes to rest.
…
