If the outside world were not too dangerous, he would think escorting is a very interesting thing. Not only can he visit the scenery along the way, but he can also get generous rewards. The only disadvantage is that he may lose his life at any time. And sometimes the ability to complete a task depends too much on luck. Based on these factors, he even worried whether traveling with Fang Ting and others would be in danger.
After chatting for half an hour, the car gradually became quiet. When the others were preparing to take a rest, Lu Yunyou was in a difficult mood. Thinking back to the cruel experiences Zhang Yuan and the others had told him, his mood could not be calm for a long time, so much so that he felt uneasy about being alone. He became more and more hesitant about returning to Wuyang City. He was worried about encountering bandits again on such a long journey.
Just like that, before dawn the next day, a total of fifty-one people, including Lu Yunyou, set off directly under the leadership of Hong Ying. If everything went well, they would be able to reach the inn ahead tonight.
Now that his body has almost recovered, Lu Yunyou did not stay in the carriage, but walked with the others.
On the way forward, even though Ling Yun and others were exploring the way ahead, the people around him were still very vigilant. Everyone was always alert to the surrounding situation. Under the influence of those people, Lu Yunyou also became unconsciously. He became extremely alert and looked around with his eyes, fearing that a bandit would suddenly burst out from behind the nearby bushes. In this way, for most of the day, he was busy observing the situation around the convoy.
It was tiring to be vigilant all the time. After half a day, he finally realized how tired Ling Yun and others were from exploring the situation outside all day long. However, for the safety of people and goods, they could not relax for a moment. Ling Yun and the others were really conscientious in their duties. He admired it, and he wanted to join this group more and more.
However, it is indeed not easy to escort escorts. Not to mention often sleeping in the open, they could have taken the waterway or borrowed roads from those cities, but in order to save some money, they could only take a long way around, which not only wasted time, but also increased a lot of risks.
The total distance from Chiyun City to Dilong City is less than 1,500 miles. Due to frequent detours, they have walked a thousand miles in these days, which is already more than half of the distance, but they are still dozens of miles away from the inn. Far.
The Chaos Ridge is still too big, and the cities are too sparsely distributed. The combination of various factors has led to an infinite increase in the possibility of them encountering danger. Fortunately, it has been relatively peaceful these past few days since they encountered the wolves. , everyone’s mood also improved.
As expected, they will be able to reach the inn ahead tonight. For everyone, it is not only a place where they can rest peacefully, but also a symbol of smooth progress, which is very helpful for them to adjust their mentality.
The journey went smoothly for most of the day, and everyone was used to this normal feeling of rushing.
"There is a problem ahead, please stop quickly." Just when everyone thought they could successfully reach the inn ahead, a hurried figure appeared in everyone's sight. Before the people arrived, the voice came first come over.
Then, while everyone was waiting nervously, the hurried man in green, Ling Yun, stopped in front of the team. At the same time, Hong Ying asked directly: "Ling Yun, why are you the only one coming back?"
"Brother Zhou and I found a high-level ferocious beast approaching the direction of the convoy. It must have followed the smell of blood." Before he could take a breath, the man in green named Ling Yun glanced at the snow wolf carcasses piled on the car. He hurriedly explained: "Brother Zhou is trying to lure away the ferocious beast in front. Uncle Hong, what should we do?"
"Are you sure it's a high-level ferocious beast? How far is that ferocious beast from our convoy?" His expression changed. Based on his trust in Ling Yun, Ling Yun's answer already made Hong Ying feel great pressure.
"That ferocious beast is covered with scales. It is more than three feet long and has no limbs. The color of its scales is similar to that of yellow mud. It should be the armored mud dragon recorded in the book. It is about two miles away from our team. "Not daring to be negligent, Ling Yun directly described the appearance of the ferocious beast.
"Ling Yun, are you reading that right?" Ling Yun's statement surprised Hong Ying even more, because according to Hong Ying's knowledge, armored mud dragons generally live in the swamps next to Tianxuan Mountain, which is in the southwest. But that place was still more than two hundred miles away from them, and logically speaking, the armored mud dragon shouldn't appear nearby.
Moreover, there were cities within a hundred miles to their left and right. Although the wilderness area in the middle was large, the possibility of high-level ferocious beasts appearing was extremely small. Therefore, in shock, Hong Ying doubted whether Ling Yun and the others had made a mistake.
"Uncle Hong, Brother Zhou and I followed that ferocious beast for half a mile and there was no mistaking it. If we don't retreat, it will be too late." Thinking of the situation behind him, Ling Yun hurriedly explained.
"Immediately change the direction of the convoy. No matter how far the detour is, we must avoid that ferocious beast and throw away the bodies of those snow wolves if necessary." After repeated confirmations, Hong Ying's face became more solemn and he turned around to explain. After Zou Cheng shouted, he jumped directly off the mammoth.
"Yes," the next moment, Zou Cheng and others agreed, and then those responsible for pulling the mammoth immediately pulled the reins to make the mammoth turn around and head to the right side of the road.
"Zou Cheng, please arrange for a few brothers to find all the other brothers who are patrolling around." After once again explaining to Zou Cheng, the deputy head of the escort agency, Hong Ying looked directly at Ling Yun and some of the people beside him and said, "How many of you are there?" Someone with better skills will follow me to lure that vicious beast away."
In the blink of an eye, Hong Ying directly called out several fifth-level martial arts cultivators in the team. Even so, he was still worried, because if there were high-level ferocious beasts ahead, they would not be able to deal with them at all. Now he only hopes that Ling Yun and the others made a mistake in their judgment, because if it wasn't a high-level beast, he could still manage to lure that beast away.
With a trace of uncertainty, Hong Ying took Ling Yun and others away directly. At the same time, Zou Cheng was already dealing with the matters Hong Ying told him.
Perhaps because they felt the breath of the ferocious beast in front of them, the bodies of several mammoths trembled involuntarily, as if they were very afraid of the ferocious beast approaching them, and even their reaction speed became much slower.
It took a long time for the convoy to completely change its direction. After setting off again, no one in the team spoke, and everyone looked solemn.
Even though Hong Ying took five or six fifth-level martial arts cultivators with him, and he was still leading the team himself, as long as they thought about the power of the high-level ferocious beasts, everyone would be worried about Hong Ying and his team.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Not long after the convoy turned around, some raindrops began to fall sparsely from the sky. The weather changes confirmed Zhang Yuan's inference about the weather last night. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy and it did not affect the progress of the convoy for the time being. He comforted those few Behind the frightened mammoth, the convoy moved forward at a faster speed.
"There are so many troubles!" After some time passed, Fang Ting finally couldn't help but raised his head and complained to the sky.
"This is only more than thirty miles away from the inn. If we go faster, we still have a good chance of arriving at the inn before the weather gets bad." The tone is more optimistic. Zhang Yuan is not too worried about the weather now. He is only worried about the weather. Hong Ying was worried about the situation there: "This area is all plains, but there are more woods. It is not a dangerous area at all. How can we encounter high-level ferocious beasts? I don't know if the boss and the others can handle it." ?”
"There shouldn't be any problem. The boss has performed so many missions, so he must have a way to deal with high-level ferocious beasts," Fang Ting tried his best to put his words in a positive direction, both to comfort others and to himself.
"Having said that, I always have a bad feeling, and these places are getting more and more chaotic recently. It's best for us to be careful." The woman who answered the call this time was the woman named Haiyan, who was more cautious than the others. I'm even more worried about the situation at Hong Ying's place.
"Yunyou, have you traveled far before?" The topic just now was too serious. In order to prevent everyone from worrying anymore, Fang Ting did not answer the woman's words and asked Lu Yunyou a question instead.
"No," faced Fang Ting's inquiry, Lu Yunyou shook his head seriously. Even though their Lu family's caravans often traveled to various surrounding cities in the past, he was not qualified to travel with the caravans due to his low strength, so he could only Stay in Wuyang City honestly.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the farthest place he has been to in the past twenty years is the place where he met Lu Wuchen before. If he hadn't heard Hu Yang and the others say something about the outside world before, Lu Yunyou felt that he would know nothing about the outside world. Know.
"Yun You, have you never been to a place farther than Chiyun City since you were a child?" It's a bit unbelievable. In Zhang Yuan's view, no matter what a person's identity is, as long as he is a martial arts cultivator in a chaotic place like Beiling, They should have been to many places, and Lu Yunyou was a third-level martial arts cultivator after all, so he should have been to many places. Thinking of this, he became more and more surprised by Lu Yunyou's reply.
Similar to Zhang Yuan's reaction, Fang Ting and others looked at Lu Yunyou with puzzled faces.
"Really not." When everyone looked at him, Lu Yunyou really didn't know how to defend himself, but since he could remember, he had never left Wuyang City because he couldn't practice.
