After taking the corpse pill, Jiang Lin's biggest feeling was that everything was back to normal.
Ever since he and Wang Lin came out of the Wugen Desert, Jiang Lin's heart has been beating normally, but every heartbeat is a burden to Jiang Lin. Every beat makes Jiang Lin's blood boil and makes it difficult to breathe.
Jiang Lin had been enduring this discomfort and guessed the reason. The situation was completely relieved after taking the Corpse Pill, which also proved Jiang Lin's suspicion.
Because this heart is not his own, and may not even be the heart in the human body, all kinds of discomforts occur. Jiang Lin can only improve his physique to adapt to this heart.
In the past few days, Jiang and Lin almost stayed at home. Firstly, there was no need, and secondly, there were too many people to watch. If they met the Song family's spy, all their plans would be in vain.
Three days passed in a flash, and the Hexuan Chamber of Commerce sent someone to pick up Jiang Lin and the others.
In front of the gate of Hexuan Chamber of Commerce, more than a dozen large vehicles were lined up neatly, and many people were packing their things. It looked like there were at least eighty or ninety people.
The man in blue, Xu Shijie, had already been waiting here. When he saw Jiang Lin and the two of them, he smiled and nodded as a sign of goodwill. However, he just glanced at Jiang Lin one more time, and his expression suddenly felt wrong, but then it returned to normal.
The servants of the Chamber of Commerce brought two fine horses to Jiang and Lin, and hung water and some necessary things on the saddles.
In the backyard, after Liu Yuan got dressed, he turned around and said to the person sitting behind him: "Mr. Wang, please don't worry, I will definitely deliver the things there this time, and I will never let down the trust of the Chamber of Commerce in Liu."
"Brother Liu, I can rest assured when doing things, but I have to say a few more words. You also know what happened this time, and you must not make any mistakes."
Seeing how solemn he was, Liu Yuan patted his chest and abdomen to reassure himself, and then left here.
After everything was arranged, the team from the Hexuan Chamber of Commerce set off on the road in a mighty manner.
There are many roads in the Helian Mountains. Each chamber of commerce has its own route, and it is not fixed every time. Only the leader knows it.
The reason for this is that many chambers of commerce are not only engaged in the business of buying and selling. When encountering other caravans on the road, they may also engage in the business of big fish eating small fish. Therefore, the dangers in the Helian Mountains are not only forest beasts and vegetation spirits. What's more dangerous is people.
Jiang and Lin were placed at the back. After all, they were newcomers, so they were placed in an insignificant position for the time being.
As the two of them slowly followed the motorcade, Wang Lin spoke up: "Sir, I see that you are absent-minded. What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Lin raised his chin, looked at the ruts in front of him and said, "I'm wondering what's in this car. It looks very heavy."
Following Jiang Lin's gaze, Wang Lin took a look. Indeed, this carriage was obviously much heavier than the other carriages, and the wheel marks were much deeper than those of the other carriages. However, the carriage was covered with thick felt pads. , can’t be seen at all.
"Maybe it's gold." Wang Lin didn't care about this. She could become a real monk soon, and worldly things had no attraction for her.
But Jiang Lin didn't think so. He didn't tell Wang Lin that the things in the car were not only heavy, but also had something very special about them. They were hot and cold at times. Although it was almost unnoticeable outside, Jiang Lin Still felt it.
At this time, Jiang Lin suddenly felt a strange feeling behind him. He looked back but found nothing.
But not long after he left, a few vines in the grass slowly dug into the soil.
For a whole day, nothing happened. It was getting dark. Liu Yuan arranged for the convoy to stop for the night and called for people to prepare things.
Staying overnight in the mountains and forests, Liu Yuan prepared a lot of things, buried many traps around him, and sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder to drive away wild beasts.
After finishing their work, the food over there was already prepared, and they began to eat in batches. Since Jiang and Lin were new arrivals, they did not need to keep watch at night. Liu Yuan arranged for several people to take turns to be on guard.
While eating, a small cage on the carriage caught Jiang Lin's attention.
The cage was about a foot square, and there was a small white thing inside, which looked about the same size as a mouse. When I got closer, I realized it was a white pangolin, or at least it looked like it.
This little thing is all white, with beautiful scales. Its big eyes are full of aura, showing human-like emotions, as if it also has joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
It was curled up in the cage, its eyes full of fear. Jiang Lin stepped forward to look at it, feeling it was a little unique, and whistled to tease it.
The little thing immediately grinned at him, and the scales on its body almost stood up, looking very fierce.
Yo?
Jiang Lin chuckled and thought it was interesting. At this moment, Liu Yuan's voice came from behind him: "Little brother, do you like it?"
"I just thought it was interesting." Jiang Lin saw Liu Yuan coming and came over to say hello.
Liu Yuan pointed at the cage and said, "This little thing looks pretty good. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Brother Liu's kindness is taken into consideration. Sometimes I can't take care of it. If I bring such a little thing with me, I will eat it sooner or later."
"Hahaha..." The two of them smiled at each other and stopped talking about the matter, but neither of them noticed that the little guy in the cage was staring at them, scratching his ears and cheeks angrily with his two little paws.
There was no talking all night, and at dawn the next day, Liu Yuan started to greet everyone to pack their things and prepare to leave. But at this time, a strange thing happened.
One person is missing!
When counting the number of people, Liu Yuan found that one person was missing. After confirming again and again, Liu Yuan had a solemn expression. He first ordered to go down and search around, and also to check whether the goods transported this time were missing.
But after searching, nothing was found. All the goods were intact, not even a hair was missing.
Among them, losing things is the most reassuring. It proves that someone just had a different intention and stole the things from the Chamber of Commerce and left alone.
But the scariest thing is that nothing was lost. It was really weird that one person was missing even though everything was fine.
However, Liu Yuan had also seen strong winds and waves. He readjusted the order of the team, then started back on the road, and accelerated the speed. The people in the team also began to get serious and put away their usual fun.
Wang Lin looked at the lush mountains and forests around her and said to Jiang Lin with some surprise, "Sir, was there anything unusual last night?"
Jiang Lin shook his head. He didn't find anything last night. Suddenly, someone was missing out of thin air. This was the most terrifying thing.
"We'd better be careful."
Wang Lin nodded and fiddled with the hair on her chest with her jade fingers, her expression solemn and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Another day, at night, the convoy stopped again to sleep in the open. This time the security was tighter than yesterday, and Liu Yuan even personally led patrols.
But it turned out that someone was still "lost" the next day.
What's terrible is that the younger person is still the one assigned to patrol at night.
Two people were missing for two consecutive days, and the team began to feel a little panicked, but with Liu Yuan's comfort, they quickly calmed down.
These people are also ruthless people who have killed people and seen blood. Although they are afraid of unknown things, they can still suppress it.
Jiang Lin didn't sleep last night, but the strange thing was that he didn't find anything. If there was really a "person" hiding in the dark who took action against them, no matter how secretly it was done, there would be no movement at all.
For several days in a row, strange things like this still happened.
That night, Jiang Lin was taking a nap while leaning on a carriage, when a girl's voice rang in his ears.
"You're still sleeping, aren't you afraid of being caught and eaten by monsters at night?"
The sound made Jiang Lin's eyes widen, and he had goosebumps all over his body. He turned to look at the cage on the carriage. The white pangolin in the cage was staring at him, with a pair of small eyes filled with mockery. look.
"Don't look, it's me who is talking, but others can't hear it. Only people with a delicate heart like you can hear it."
"You... how could this..." Jiang Lin was so shocked that he was speechless.
The white pangolin held the cage with its two paws and said to Jiang Lin, "In a few days, you might be captured by a monster at night."
After regaining his composure, Jiang Lin grinned and said with a playful expression, "Okay, I really want to see what kind of monster it is."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Why should you be afraid? If this monster is really powerful, why is it so sneaky? Wouldn't it be easy to kill it directly? But you, a little thing, can actually speak human words. Should I sell you to others, or should I sell you to others? Have you eaten? Look at you, you must be very tonic..."
