The owner of Yanyun Villa, Li Quyang, was in the middle stage of his congenital life. His hair was gray and his face was very kind. He greeted him with a smile and cupped his hands.
"My fellow Taoist guests are here. Many of my Taoist subordinates have been rude. I learned that the elephant team was about to leave, so I came here to apologize, so as not to be resentful and have a grudge."
Next to Li Quyang was a tall man with a powerful aura, as if he was also an innate monk.
"Oh, I'm not here to cause trouble." Xue Tong said in his heart.
He forced a smile on his face and said, "Wherever, a few words of argument will be over, and it will be over. The village owner's apology was too strong."
Xue Tong's pseudonym was Du Guanyuan, using the name of an acquaintance in Wanyu. He guessed that Li Quyang was not just here to say hello, but must have something else to do. He immediately said: "Master, please sit down in the shabby room."
As expected, Li Quyang had other intentions.
"Fellow Daoist Du, a man named Yue Shuhua disappeared in Yanyun Village forty years ago. Also missing were three volumes of the Sword Scripture. That little thief was not qualified to practice this Sword Scripture, so he deliberately stole it and escaped."
"Yanyun Village will never tolerate such a thing. We have been pursuing it for more than 20 years, but we have been unable to catch the thief named Yue. Various signs indicate that this person should be hiding in the barbaric area. The most likely person is in the wild area." department."
"Fellow Taoist went to the Hu tribe to do business. If there is any trace of this thief, please seek justice for Yanyun Village. Whether he is executed on the spot or escorted to justice, it will all be done based on the expediency of fellow Taoist."
"When I came back, I spoke to Wanwang Yanyun Village and thanked him face to face!" Li Quyang said.
"I'm afraid Du has no time to inquire, and the owner may not be able to fulfill his request." Xue Tong declined as he had no interest in such trivial matters.
"Fellow Daoist Du, just keep it in mind. What happened decades ago will be successful if it can be done. If it cannot be done, it is God's will." Li Quyang said.
"Well, Du will try his luck. This is..."
"Tu Yi, the protector of the Seven Evils Alliance, is a good Taoist friend. Please ask fellow Taoist for help if you need help." Li Quyang introduced.
"Oh, nice to meet you!" Xue Tong said politely, cupping his hands.
Tu Yi returned the gift and said: "Tang Tu asked the Taoist Priest for help. Tu is ashamed. Snakes and insects are one of the best in the Taoist tribe. If the Taoist priest sees the young snakes with golden tumors, please bring a few back. This snake is rare, so let the Taoist priest take the trouble." Yes, Tu will pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan in advance.”
"It's just because Fellow Daoist Du is a very important person, so we and I took the liberty to come here for convenience. Don't mind." Li Quyang explained.
"It's okay, Du, give it a try. Fellow Xuanmen, if you can help, I'll help."
"Then we'll just wait for the good news."
…
After the two left, Xue Tong felt puzzled. What the two wanted always seemed a bit strange.
The mammoths were assembled into two groups, and the elephant team was five miles long. In addition to some mammoth trailers filled with feed, Xue Tong handed Wen Guangmao ten storage bags filled with sugar cane, wormwood, and soybean meal, enough for two hundred A mammoth eats it for a year.
Thirty orcs from the Hui tribe brought back the cattle, sheep, linen, and porcelain that Wan Qian had exchanged for them. The other two groups gathered together three thousand camels and horses, making the team even larger.
Xue Tong is the only innate-level warrior in the caravan, and everyone, regardless of barbarian or human race, is very satisfied with his existence.
Xiao Yu'er put on a green and gray windbreaker and wrapped herself up tightly. Pei Ling was a little better. After all, he grew up in the desert area. Pei Yaoxin patrolled back and forth. Wen Guangmao was the busiest, directing the recruited orcs and human warriors to keep the formation stable.
It takes one month to travel nine thousand miles to the Hui tribe.
Xue Tong spent most of his time in the horned camel cart, tinkering with animal blood and bones, and refining barbarian body-refining blood elixirs.
Halfway through the journey, it was almost dusk.
The caravan is camping in the desert, and the camels, horses and elephants are eating fodder.
Xue Tong heard a faint rumbling sound.
He escaped and looked northwest. Under the afterglow, hundreds of feet high, a heavy yellow curtain was advancing towards the direction of the caravan.
Sand storm!
The empty wilderness is hit by a sandstorm, and the caravan is likely to lose 90% of its livestock!
Xue Tong felt a chill in his heart. There were very few dust storms in October, but it happened to happen.
He shouted loudly, and everyone who heard it changed their expressions.
"Quick, go that way!"
More than twenty miles to the southwest, there is a deserted Gobi ridge. Hiding in the valley, you may be able to escape.
For a while, people roared and horses neighed, and there was chaos.
"Try to maintain formation and move quickly!"
The orc team had the fewest cattle and sheep, so they rushed in front. Xue Tong summoned the hawks, eagles, and apes to deter the mammoth team on the outside, trying his best to keep the elephant team calm.
He shuttled back and forth, pushing back the mammoths that had fled in panic and lost their direction.
At this time, the rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and everyone saw the dust covering the sky in the distance.
When Xue Tong assisted the camel team to drive the last batch of horses into the valley, the strong wind was howling in his ears and the sand hit his face.
Fortunately, the canyon was leeward, and the main body of the dust storm arrived in a blink of an eye. We couldn't even see each other's faces, and we couldn't even see each other's faces when we were facing each other.
Livestock were frightened and camels were neighing everywhere.
Amidst the rumble of the dust storm, the tiger's deafening roar suddenly came out, frightening all the crowded and stampeding livestock.
The timid boy was peeing and trembling.
Xue Tong received the white tiger and scanned it with golden eyes. He heard a strange noise and soared into the sky.
The bracelet turned sharply, and four swords flew out.
The four sword shadows of the Dragon Killing Sword Formation bombarded the huge shadow falling sharply ahead.
The weathered earth and rocks in the Gobi Desert can be described as weak and weak. A piece of earth and rock larger than three stories was blown over by a dust storm and fell from the sky.
The sword formation exploded it into pieces, and fist-sized earth and rocks fell like raindrops.
Saved more than ten people from the human and barbarian tribes.
But Xue Tong's expression suddenly changed!
I saw an extremely vague shadow flashing diagonally behind the clod of soil.
Xue Tong blinked, and there was another unknown object somewhere.
"It's impossible for birds to fly. Such a big dust storm has flown away long ago."
Xue Tong was shocked and confused, unable to imagine what the shadow was made of. He jumped up to the earth and rock mountain to look, but there was nothing. The strong wind blew him almost unsteadily.
The dust storm lasted for an hour, and the valley was filled with waist-deep sand.
After the count was completed, three mammoths were missing, and the camel and horse team lost about 10% of their livestock.
"Taoist Master Du saved the cavalry team, how can we thank him?" said the leader of the cavalry team.
"Don't worry about it, Du will do his best." Xue Tong was thinking hard and was not happy at all.
"Enemy, I was dazzled by the mistake."
…
Barbarian tribe, at the southern foot of Meng Mountain.
There are more than a thousand barbarian households living in the mountain village, forming the largest market town in the Hui tribe. When the caravan arrived, there was still one month before the traditional "Gaba Festival".
"Brother Xue, I see you have been depressed for half a month, but you are thoughtful," Xiao Yu'er asked.
"Well, I'm restless and feel like something is wrong."
"Last time, Canyon Yu'er didn't see anything clearly. It was like a huge tiger shadow flew into your pet bag."
"Well, I won't be able to tell for a while."
"That tiger's roar is so scary, call it out for fun," Xiao Yu'er said with a playful smile.
"Now is not the time to play, sell the elephant first!"
Xue Tong called four people and said: "Hurry up and sell the elephant. The three yards where you live need to be strengthened."
…
The Elephant Team sold more than ten mammoths one after another, ushering in the Gaba Festival.
Three thousand orcs and more than a hundred humans flooded into the market town.
"Mammoths are worth ten thousand taels of silver each, and spiritual stones are worth three thousand."
Xue Tong handed over more than 20 high-grade magical artifacts to Xiao Yu'er and asked her to list them together.
"You can buy whatever you want. The snake venom elixir of the Hui tribe is famous all over the world. This is a rare opportunity. If you come across one of innate quality, help me buy it as soon as possible."
"This snow silkworm corpse is the best food for snakes and insects. The four of you go and join in the trade fairs and auctions these days, and 150,000 spiritual stones will be sold." Xue Tong saw the black shadow from the canyon, and everything It seems to be boring.
"Taoist Master Xue, the barbarian spirit stones are scarce. What if the snake breeder can't produce so many spirit stones?" Pei Ling asked.
"In exchange for the Snake Pills in the middle stage of Xiantian and above, two to three are at your disposal. If there are no snake pills, you can also replace them with three cans of Xiantian-level Body Refining Blood Pills."
Xue Tong handed Xiao Yuer 500,000 spiritual stones and stayed behind closed doors, wondering whether he should count them before leaving.
He generally felt that the shadow looked like a person, but it could not be a person from the Xuangu Divine Sect. Dasheng was sixteen thousand miles away from Binxu. How could such insignificant trivial matters as the Xiangba Team spread to the Xuangu Divine Sect so quickly? , and arouse suspicion.
The chestnut door to his yard suddenly rang.
Two barbarians called themselves Wudun and Guk.
"It's Taoist Du, right?" Wu Dun spoke fluent human language.
"It's Du. Excuse me..." Xue Tong asked, wondering why someone came to visit.
"We are from the headquarters of the Hu tribe. We want to buy a hundred mammoths. Can we talk about the conditions?"
Selling the mammoths early was naturally in line with Xue Tong's current thoughts. He immediately said: "Oh, of course we can talk about it. Let's talk about what price the Hui tribe is willing to pay."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones," Wudun said.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand is not even enough for the capital, but for a large business, the discount is reasonable, maybe two hundred and eighty thousand. In addition, Du has some needs. I wonder if the Hu Department can satisfy them."
Xue Tong handed Wudun a slip of paper.
There are seven or eight kinds of snake venom pills, and the last row is the young snake with golden tumors.
Wu Dun read and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, how could anyone in Mengshan have the talent to do business? It turns out that Taoist Master Du came here well prepared, and the things on the list are basically spiritual things that are only available in the main village."
"These spiritual objects are very valuable..." Wudun glanced at Xue Tong.
"Dumou brought some spiritual stones. If you really can't afford them, I'll pick a few more. If the bastard tribe needs mammoths, Du will sell the remaining sixty at a 20% discount."
"Okay, Director Du is waiting for my news."
…
One of the purposes of Xue Tong's formation of a caravan was to build a bridge with mammoths, mingling with the Hu tribe, and gradually buy all the necessary spiritual objects.
Wu Dun came to the door, which made him overjoyed.
Xue Tong didn't know that Wudun came to visit because of the temporary decision made by the headquarters of the Sanqian Hui tribe.
Thanks to the "Machinist Scroll" from Xiong Bu, the machinist skills have advanced by leaps and bounds. In recent years, the issue of launching several large-scale installations has been raised many times, but all remain unresolved.
The mammoth caravan attracted the attention of Rokita, the clan supervisor in charge of reporting.
"Building catapults and war crossbows requires a lot of manpower and animal power. Ready-made mammoths are available in Mengshan, saving you a lot of trouble in buying them in the future. Why miss it?"
The proposal was approved, and Wudun and Guli found Xue Tong.
…
"If I buy so many spiritual objects at one time, will the gangsters be interested in the money?" Xue Tong thought of the strange shadows in the valley and became more and more uneasy.
He was walking in the courtyard, his shadow cast long and slantingly in the moonlight.
Suddenly, a figure flew past the white-lit ground.
Quietly, avoiding the perception of the warning symbol and Xue Tong.
Xue Tong’s hair stood on end!
