Chapter 409: Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
Hearing this roar that was obviously not an ordinary beast, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all turned to look at Qi Chengcheng, who had a look of astonishment on his face.
Lin Lei, who was following the team at the end, looked a little gloomy and muttered harshly: "Damn it, can you stink a little more!"
The Red Rock Snow Wolf is a type of wolf that lives in the mountains. Unlike the Maple Leaf Wolf, it is a group mutation caused by the bloodline of the Blood Moon Greedy Wolf. Therefore, this kind of tall wolf pack has its own strength. It is much stronger than the fallen leaf wolves in the plains in life, and the king of alien beasts produced among them is naturally stronger.
When Gao Ning heard the beast's roar, he knew that this battle would not end so easily. Wolves are gregarious animals. If the wolf king does not come out, maybe after killing dozens of wolves, the smarter wolves will retreat and leave.
But if the Wolf King joins the battle, even if all these red rock snow wolves are killed, it will not have much effect unless he is defeated. The Wolf King is still alive, and all snow wolves within a hundred miles will obey his call and go here! By then, their team would be in even more trouble.
"Everyone listen to me, keep the formation unchanged, and evacuate towards Hongyan Town. Try to find that hateful wolf king before sunset!" Gao Ning shouted in agreement.
Yi Xifeng and others are no longer novices, and most of them have experienced the battles between Yinren and Tiexin, Yinren and Luoye, so they naturally know how to deal with these situations.
Looking at the expressions of these young people, Gao Ning couldn't help but admire in his heart: It is said that this year's twelve martial arts masters have extremely high qualifications. It seems that they are not just referring to Zhang Yanyan, Lu Huahua, and Zhou Di. . The few young men present are also elites in the armored bodyguards!
In this way, there was no pressure on the group of people along the way. After all, the snow wolves that these ordinary Qi and Shi realm warriors could deal with had no use in their hands. It was just Yi Xifeng's "Bafang Sword" that surrounded all directions. "The curtain" makes it difficult for these beasts to cross the thunder pool even half a step.
In just half an hour, with the help of Zhao Long and Li Xintian's unique skills, everyone found the snowy direwolf without much effort!
Look at the white hair all over its body, as well as the faint blue hairs growing on the top of its head. These hairs are not much, but they form a small crown on the head of this strange beast king!
"Good guy, you even bring your own crown. This beast is quite cool!" Qi Chengcheng obviously had some resentment towards this beast. After all, he was very annoyed when he was dissed by his companions because of him.
However, this snowy direwolf is not as crazy as the red rock snow wolf. It has just begun to awaken its intelligence, so it can naturally feel the power of the ten people in front of it! Compared to the greed and madness of the Blood Moon Greedy Wolf, this handsome white wolf is much more cautious.
As the king of the wolf clan, even if food is in short supply, he will not go hungry, so he does not regard the other party as a delicious "two-legged sheep". It arched its body slightly and kept roaring!
When Wang Bodang saw this, his heart moved slightly, and he said softly: "Hey! This beast has extraordinary intelligence, and he actually knows how to show weakness to the enemy."
As a strong young man born as an Orion hunter, Wang Bodang can be called an expert in field operations.
Qi Chengcheng snorted coldly and shouted: "Why show weakness to the enemy? Even if it kneels down and begs for mercy today, I will beat it!"
Saying this, without waiting for anyone to react, he stepped forward to greet him. The funny young man's movement skills are extremely fast, and his internal energy technique, the Wind Explosive Yuan Jue, is good at speed bonus. At this time, he was holding back his energy again, and suddenly only afterimages could be seen in the field.
The originally alert White Wave King shrunk, and his whole body turned into a white lightning and ran towards the snow slope on one side. Just from this vertical movement, it can be seen that the strength level of this alien beast king is not high, that is, it is just a knight. Those who reach the level of strength.
In terms of combat power, the strength of this White Wolf King is much higher than that of Qi Chengcheng. Unfortunately, in this beast's perception, the speed of movement is basically equal to the real strength.
It saw that as soon as the young man took action, his movement speed was almost the same as when it was at full speed, it was so frightened that it almost lost its soul!
Seeing the funny boy chasing and beating the king of alien beasts, Gao Ning was also shocked. Although the speed of Qi Chengcheng's explosion just now was indeed a bit beyond his expectation, the caution of this snowy direwolf also made him The man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Soon, Qi Chengcheng came back cursing, and it seemed that he finally let him escape. However, this result is reasonable. The White Wolf King himself is stronger than him, but he is limited by the intimidation of the ten people in front of him and chooses to avoid the edge temporarily.
It also knows that this group of people cannot stay here forever. When they leave, it will still be the real king here.
Lin Fenghuo stepped forward and patted Qi Chengcheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be angry! Thanks to this beast, we can be nearly half an hour ahead of schedule!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the official road ahead. It was obvious that he could reach the inn in a few miles. In this way, everyone can have a better rest.
…
In the valley less than ten miles away from Yi Xifeng and the others, a small post station stood quietly here. Luoye County's official roads are all repaired by Luoye City. Of course, the money for road construction must be paid by each locality, but the county's customs clearance documents are all issued by Luoye City.
It’s not that the various forces in Luoye County like to follow Luoye City’s arrangements. The main reason is that a large part of the merchants who come and go are not from Luo Yun. Many of them are foreign business firms, such as the countries in the Western Regions known as the Land of Ten Thousand Gold. Even the demon kingdom in the land of freedom has its own caravan.
When these caravans conduct trade exchanges, they are first based on the trade relationship between the two countries, and this customs clearance document is an important proof of the legality of their trade. If there is any problem in the trade, for example, after paying the money, the goods do not arrive, or the goods arrive, but the money is never paid.
After encountering these problems, both parties to the transaction can hold the customs clearance documents in their hands and approach the court for communication and coordination.
Problems are solved through exchanges between countries. In many cases, if a reasonable party cannot get the money or goods they deserve through the court due to their power status, the court will usually compensate them. In other words, doing business with merchants who have customs clearance documents is equivalent to the court guaranteeing them.
This is also an important reason why various forces are willing to respect the governors of various regions, or why the governors of various regions obey the rule of Luo Yun Kingdom.
To put it in detail, the formation of this kind of political power is somewhat similar to that of the countries in the Western Regions, except that one of the two is openly stated, while the other is somewhat hidden.
…
In this inn, many people have gathered at this time.
Seeing them pulling a carriage with their families, they said they were doing business, but it really didn’t sound like it! They were said to have fled here. Judging from their attire and expressions, they looked a little tired, but not too sad.
Several guys at the inn gathered together, looking at the group of people staying overnight, and secretly murmuring and guessing...
"I'm talking about San'er. I was delivering food to that family just now, and I saw their family members! Tsk, tsk, it's really, really good!"
"What? Did you see the concubine? What a good idea!"
The words of this young boy with sinister features immediately aroused the interest of the man named San'er next to him.
The guys next to me also had bright eyes and asked with a smile: "That's right, second brother! Tell me, what's so good about it?"
The young boy with a sly eyebrow smiled, shook his head and said: "It's wonderful! It's wonderful!"
Soon the guys were talking to each other in low voices, occasionally bursting into chuckles.
…
In an upper room on the second floor of the inn, there was a man in a black cloak, with the brim of his hat covering most of his face. He was sitting alone in the upper room, and there were two big men standing beside him.
One of them was a little thin but had clear features. He looked at the man sitting in the middle and whispered: "Gang leader, do we really want to cooperate with them?"
At this time, the man sitting on the other side also interjected: "I have asked people to investigate this Xingwu Hall. It is considered to be the number one in the world of Yunxi County, but it has not been recognized by the martial arts world. It is still considered Not a third-rate sect, just a gang!"
The man sitting at the top nodded silently and said: "This Xing Haifu is indeed a person. He started as a merchant and established the Xingjia Escort Bureau and Xingwu Hall successively without roots! This shows how ambitious he is. As for the punishment tree..."
At this point, the man sneered.
It was only then that the light on the table illuminated his face clearly. It was Yin Shisan, the leader of the Shahe Gang who had defected from Luoye City!
The two big men next to him are naturally his confidants, and they are also the two leaders of the Shahe Gang, Huang Shi Xie Huang Qi and Qingchuan Li Qingping.
"This Xingmu seems to be a reckless person!" Qingchuan, who had clear eyes, murmured.
Yin Shisan shook his head and said coldly: "This person seems to be reckless, but in fact he is rough and subtle. Moreover, there seems to be a barrier between father and son, which makes Xing Mu have been deliberately pretending What are you wearing?"
Qingchuan frowned and asked in confusion: "Disguise?"
At this moment, a soft and charming voice came from inside. The voice was tingling and tingling. Just hearing the voice sounded like a beauty in the world.
"Sir, the water for bathing is ready!"
As he spoke, a tall woman came from the back room. Judging from her attire, she was actually wearing a layer of tulle.
Qingchuan frowned slightly when he heard the woman's question, but in an instant he returned to the state of Gujing Wubo, observing his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth.
But the yellow lion beside him flashed his eyes, scanning the woman's plump body sideways, and finally stopped at the woman's blood-red lips.
Yin Shisan still sat calmly at the top and did not answer. When the woman came up to him, he said slowly: "Well, you guys go down first. We can't discuss the matter of the Punishment Martial Hall until we get to Longxi Town!"
Huang Shi and Qingchuan bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the door, then turned around and closed the door from the outside. The moment the door closed, both of them subconsciously raised their eyes and looked inside the room. They saw that Yin Shisan's hands had already climbed up the woman's chest and abdomen, but the woman's eyes were still looking at the two of them.
That look seemed to be filled with a desire, eager for these two people to rush into the room right now and rescue her from Yin Shisan's hands.
Huang Shi's figure paused slightly, but returned to normal in an instant, while Qingchuan did not waver at all and directly closed the door.
Soon, rustling sounds came from the upper room, followed by a woman's exclamation, followed by the sound of water (bath water)...
…
Just as Yin Shisan and this woman were enjoying the joy of water and fish, the inn welcomed a new group of guests.
They were all wearing white cloaks, and the leader was a middle-aged man wearing a white tiger skin hat. At this time, Huang Shi and Qingchuan had returned to their rooms and did not meet this group of people.
"Master, do you need anything?" The boy who had been talking about the woman next to Yin Shisan immediately stood up and came to greet her.
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Let's eat some food, and then arrange three rooms for the upper class!"
When the waiter heard that there was business coming to the door, he naturally said cheerfully: "Well, sir, please come here first! How many of you are there in total?"
The man replied: "Ten people!"
These people were none other than Yinren and his group who had defeated the direwolves in the snow and escaped from the siege of the red rock snow wolves.
To elaborate, the strength of the alien beast king is at the level of the knight ascending to the throne. If it were to fight alone, Qi Chengcheng would definitely not be its opponent.
However, the ten of them were not weak, so the wolf king decisively chose "tactical evacuation".
The waiter nodded, looked sideways at the people behind him, and briefly counted the number of people.
But when they saw the faces of Zhong Lingxi, Li Xintian, and Fifth Xiaoxiao, they were all stunned on the spot. It was Gao Ning who asked again before waking him up.
"Master, please go first! Please go first!" As he said this, the waiter unconsciously became a little more enthusiastic.
Everyone sat around a huge elm wood square table. Since nine of them were teenagers, the square table could only hold eight people, but nine people could sit down without it appearing crowded.
Soon four cold dishes and eight hot dishes were served. The group of people had also traveled for a whole day, so naturally they started eating without caring about courtesy.
Yi Xifeng looked at Qi Chengcheng with his legs crossed next to him, narrowed his eyes and said, "You bastard, eat slowly! Save some for me!"
But how could the funny boy care about this at this time? He was holding a half-bitten chicken leg in his left hand, a half-pulled pork head in his right hand, chewing a piece of squab in his mouth, and said vaguely: "You, what are you talking about?"
"Did I say you were reincarnated as a starving ghost? Leave some for me!" Yi Xifeng shouted.
Qi Chengcheng struggled to swallow the squab meat in his mouth, smashed it in his mouth and said: "Madman, this is your fault. I have put in so much effort today, and naturally I have consumed a lot of it, so of course I have to eat it all!"
Obviously the funny boy was alluding to the battle he had just had with the White Wolf King.
"Just be a human being, okay?" Yi Xifeng said calmly.
Qi Chengcheng was obviously stunned. It was obvious that he did not understand the meaning of the fair boy's words, but Li Xintian, who was eating silently beside him, laughed out loud.
