Chapter 104 Harvest

Chen Mo sat in a carriage wearing light armor, and carried his weapons with him.

The carriages used this time were all pulled by two horses. Although the horses pulling the carriages were not war horses, they were also good and strong horses.

Even if they pulled one or two thousand pounds, the speed would not slow down at all.

Flipping through the extremely detailed military map in his hand, Chen Mo's fingers kept sliding along the official road marked on it.

In the past few days, since he had not left the territory under the jurisdiction of the Salt Transport Bureau, he had been driving the horse in the front to lead the way.

There were also dozens of cavalrymen on both sides of his carriage, opening up the road for the rear army so that they could pass safely.

After walking for a whole day, the army set up camp until dusk.

Along the way, it is impossible to have markets and towns everywhere, and most of the time will still be spent in the wilderness.

"Uncle Zhou, at our current speed, we can reach Sandao Street in five days, and then we can step into Qingzhou."

Chen Mo walked into the tent, spread out the map, and explained carefully.

He didn't know the specific goal of this trip, and he didn't have a detailed map of Qingzhou.

All he had to do was to get these people out of the Salt Transport Bureau and get them closer to Qingzhou.

Once there, he would only have to escort them, instead of leading the way.

"Okay, follow the official road of Sandao Street, and walk for another three days, and we will be able to enter Qingzhou."

Zhou Dong nodded slightly, glanced outside the tent, and said in a deep voice, "After entering Qingzhou, we will walk for another five or six days, and then we can hand over the prisoners to the Jiantian Division for processing."

Chen Mo was thoughtful, and then said, "From this point of view, those Qi-refining masters are most likely to act around the time we just entered Qingzhou."

Qingzhou is now a wilderness with almost no people.

Since those Qi-refining masters don't want to be discovered, no one can find any traces if they act there.

Even after killing people, they can completely lie dormant in Qingzhou for a while and show up again after the storm has passed.

Because there is no mirage sea in Qingzhou, those Qi-refining practitioners can move freely there and stay as long as they want without any restrictions.

Zhou Dong's eyes flashed with approval, and he smiled, "Yes, they are very likely to fight there, you should be prepared at that time."

Having said that, he waved his hand, motioning Chen Mo to come in front of him, and then said in a very low voice, "Listen to my uncle, if something really happens, save your life first. If you can fight, fight, if you can't fight, retreat. I'm telling you this, don't forget to tell Mo Hu when you go back."

His voice was very low, which was an elder's warning to the younger generation.

Mo Hu and Chen Mo are Sun Shouren's adopted sons. If they come out with him, Zhou Dong, and accidentally lose one of them.

Then he can't explain to Sun Shouren, his classmate.

So he has to let them understand that saving their lives is the most important thing, and whether they have made contributions or not is not that important.

"Junior understands." Chen Mo agreed in a low voice.

He put away the map and left the tent. The tent where he rested was also set up.

Mo Hu was now lying on his side in the tent. It was noisy all around and not suitable for cultivation. He was holding a book and reading it with great interest.

Seeing Chen Mo coming, he quickly put away the book in his hand.

"I just went to see Uncle Zhou and talked to him about something."

Chen Mo said seriously, and Mo Hu's expression became serious.

"We have to go to Qingzhou for a few days. We may encounter danger at that time. The person who attacks us is most likely a Qi Refiner. Be careful. Don't be impulsive. Saving your life is the most important thing."

Mo Hu nodded. Although he didn't know many things, anyone who was not a fool could see it.

These five hundred elite soldiers plus one hundred patrol guards were definitely not to guard the eighty prisoners. They must be to guard against some attacks.

But he didn't expect that the person who came to rob and kill would be a Qi Refiner.

But he was not worried. Qi Refiners sounded mysterious, but after killing a few of them, he was not so worried about them.

The next few days were still on the road. After a few days, the army was on the road with enough water and food.

There were too many things to carry, and the speed was much slower than before.

Fortunately, the road in Qingzhou was relatively easy to pass because it was dry enough.

When Chen Mo entered Qingzhou, he carried armor with him and kept his weapons in his hands.

The first few dozen miles were safe and the sun was at its peak near noon.

The soldiers who had been on the road for several hours were all thirsty.

Zhou Dong ordered many soldiers to rest and drink water, and take out dry food to share.

Chen Mo quietly opened his ear consciousness, stimulated his blood eyes, and carefully observed the surroundings.

No matter how he looked at it, the surroundings were very quiet.

If he didn't take action now, those Qi Refiners would probably launch a night attack.

This was normal. Ordinary soldiers had difficulty seeing at night, but those Qi Refiners could stimulate their eye consciousness, which was enough to see at night.

In the afternoon, they continued to travel until the sun set in the west. The setting sun was like blood, hitting the desolate land, adding a solemn and tragic feeling to the world.

Chen Mo could already hear many people who shouldn't be around. They hid well, invisible but audible.

Qigong practitioners couldn't completely abandon their bodies after all. They also had heartbeats, and blood flow would make sounds.

"Be alert, everyone prepare to light torches." Zhou Dong obviously also noticed that someone was peeping outside, and ordered immediately.

Finally, before the sun set, 500 soldiers surrounded the prisoner car.

The tooth gate shields that were carried before can finally be used now.

This shield is about five feet wide, seven feet high, and one inch thick.

It is wrapped in fine steel, and filled with leather and cotton cloth inside.

There is a sharp protrusion under the shield, like a sharp tooth, which can penetrate deep into the ground, saving the strength of the shield-bearing soldiers.

"I just checked and found that there are many Qi-refining masters around. Instead of continuing to waste energy and wait here, we might as well take the initiative."

Zhou Dong arranged the defense and immediately called Chen Mo and the guards of Anyang Prefecture to give instructions.

If many soldiers were always on full alert, even if they were all elite, they would not last for a few hours.

Among the many soldiers present, only the three of them could see at night and take the initiative to attack.

"All at the command of the general." Chen Mo saluted immediately.

Now we are receiving military orders, not chatting privately, so the address should not be too casual.

"If someone comes to charge, then someone will fire a signal arrow, and then we will come back to help." Zhou Dong explained again.

Chen Mo bowed again and accepted the order, and quietly left in the remaining sunlight.

Most of the Qi-refining masters who came this time were not very strong.

Otherwise, they would not have to wait until night to launch a sneak attack, and could directly charge in the daytime.

Chen Mo held a spear in one hand and a fangmen shield in the other.

The shield was as big as a door panel, but it was not very strenuous for him to hold it in his hand.

This shield has many advantages. It is big and wide enough. With his own strength, he can throw it out as a hidden weapon, and the effect should be quite good.

Chen Mo ran very fast, like a gust of wind passing through, raising endless dust.

"Dang!" Suddenly, a finger hit Chen Mo's forehead, but only the sound of metal interlacing was heard.

These ordinary Qi-refining masters, even if they did not use the inner Qi gauze clothes, could not break the defense of Chen Mo's flesh with their sacrificed torsos.

In the dead woods not far away, a Qi-refining practitioner looked stunned. He really didn't expect that the magic weapon he had painstakingly refined could not break the opponent's defense.

Then several more magic weapons flew over and hit Chen Mo, making a crisp sound of metal colliding, but none of them could pierce his skin.

Chen Mo turned around and exerted force, and the door-sized shield smashed directly into the dead woods in the distance.

It didn't matter whether it was accurate or not, he didn't believe that these Qi-refining practitioners would dare not dodge.

"Everyone, hurry up, this man is a martial artist with perfect meridians, and he has also practiced external martial arts. We are far from being his opponent!"

A relatively young Qi-refining practitioner suddenly reacted and reminded his companions loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that some of his cunning companions had already slipped away.

These Qi-refining practitioners were not an unbreakable alliance, and most of them came for their own selfish desires.

They can fight when the wind is favorable, but it is impossible to expect them to work together to deal with a martial arts master.

The Qi-refining practitioner wanted to say something more, but he found a long spear piercing his chest.

With Chen Mo's current strength, he could cross a distance of dozens of feet in just a moment.

The remaining six Qi-refining practitioners in the withered forest fled in all directions, using various magic methods. Now they didn't need to run faster than Chen Mo, as long as they ran faster than their companions.

Chen Mo didn't rush to chase, but stood still and shot arrows.

With the blessing of the Blood Eye, and the ability to control the body to the extreme.

Chen Mo's current archery skills have reached an extremely high level. Not to mention shooting a willow through a hundred steps, even shooting a halberd at the gate is no problem.

He shot six arrows in succession, all of which hit the target. All five Qi-refining practitioners were shattered by the feather arrows, and their gray brains, bones, and flesh were splattered everywhere.

Chen Mo didn't dare to take the arrows that weighed several kilograms and carried a force of ten thousand kilograms when they hit people, let alone these relatively weak Qigong practitioners.

Even if they activated the talismans to protect their bodies, they couldn't block this attack.

Only one person, with a golden light appearing around him, actually blocked this attack.

Chen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up. This person could actually block his attack. The other party was either very powerful or had a secret treasure with him.

But no matter which one it was, killing the other party would make him gain a lot.

Chen Mo took a big step forward and came to the side of the Qigong practitioner in three or two breaths.

When the other party saw him coming, his eyes were full of fear. Then the Qigong practitioner took out a talisman from his arms, and the talisman was activated to turn into a very subtle and inconspicuous golden light and rushed straight into the distance.

Chen Mo did not hold back, and pulled the spear again, and the golden light that appeared around the Qigong practitioner instantly broke and shattered.

"Don't kill me, sir. I am willing to give you all the elixirs and Yuan Zhen Stones. I am from the An family of Bingzhou. If you are willing to spare me today, my An family will definitely reward you in the future.

I have also used the secret method to notify the strong men of my clan to come. Instead of wasting time killing me, you might as well retreat now."

He spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that Chen Mo would kill him without hearing him clearly.

But until his head fell to the ground, his lips were still trembling, as if he wanted to say something else.

Chen Mo picked up the package on the other person's body, crushed his head with one foot, and searched his body again.

In addition to the package and several talismans, there was also a golden bell. The material was special and the quality was also quite heavy compared to gold, and no matter how it was shaken, it would not make any sound.

Chen Mo had no time to think carefully about the use of the bell, so he could only put it away first.

It must be said that the other party's identity was indeed quite unusual. There were five Yuan Zhen Stones in the package alone, and there were also many cultivation elixirs.

Although he cannot use these pills himself, he can trade them with other Qi Refiners in exchange for mirages or pills that he can use.

After searching the body of this person, Chen Mo searched the bodies of the other Qi-refining practitioners one by one.

Compared with the Qi-refining practitioner from the An family of Bingzhou, the other Qi-refining practitioners were more like a group of poor ghosts. They only had seven Yuanzhen stones, eight or nine bottles of elixirs, and three mirage spirits.

This time, the harvest was really rich. As long as all these things were sold, even if they were not enough for the next transformation, the time required would be greatly shortened.

After collecting the spoils, Chen Mo did not leave in a hurry, but waited in place.

He wanted to see how strong the strong man who came was. If he was a foundation-building cultivator, he could just see the gap between himself and the foundation-building cultivator.

Anyway, he was not far from the soldiers guarding the prisoner car. Even if he could not beat them, someone would come to support him when he ran there.

And if it was a Qi-refining cultivator, he would kill him and add some spoils to himself.

Chen Mo did not wait for long. In the distant sky, a person flew in.

This person is quite powerful, he is standing on a flying sword, the sword body is flowing with bright flames.

Chen Mo was a little surprised by this, he has seen so many Qi Refiners, today he finally saw a Qi Refiner flying with a sword.

From this, it can be seen that this person is definitely quite powerful, otherwise how can he use such a treasure!
