Chapter 31 Death by a Heavy Sword
The caravan rested for a while, ate some dry food and then continued on their way.
Rugged mountain roads, traveling quickly in the dark.
I don’t know what these people are protecting or why they are in such a hurry. But Chen Luo didn't care about these. He was still studying the jade book, and he would not leave until he reached the end of the field. In just a short while, he had already made three 'brains' understand. However, except for the royal brain, no one else responded. It seemed that the cultivation of Jade Book was as he had guessed, and it was innately limited.
This limitation is probably spiritual roots!
With the protection of the caravan, Lao Tian obviously relaxed while driving, and even hummed a song halfway, which was quite comfortable.
"There is Yanziling just ahead. There is a section of old forest. Everyone, please be careful."
From the caravan in front, the voice of Lao Tian's nephew Tian Daniu came.
Hearing the sound, everyone was on guard and clenched their weapons one by one. As long as there was any disturbance, these men would be able to respond immediately.
"If it weren't for the protection of the caravan, would we be so comfortable?"
Lao Tian followed, even more proud.
The old forest was dark and silent.
"Sometimes, it's not necessarily safe if there are many people." Chen Luo, who had been lying motionless on the carriage, sat up at some point.
His voice startled Lao Tian.
However, Chen Luo ignored him and looked at the black old Lin ahead.
After the three realms of bone forging, what will be improved is not just pure strength, but also all-round.
Just now, he heard the sound of swords clashing in the wind. Although it was slight, he still caught it. As the caravan moves forward, the sound will become clearer. Not only that, the smell of blood in the air was also approaching.
Someone is fighting in front!
Who is the target?
Is this a mysterious caravan?
Chen Luo's thoughts were racing, and at the same time he carefully put the jade album into his arms and placed it close to his body.
"What do you mean?"
Lao Tian, who was already timid, his voice trembled a little when he heard these words.
"Be careful yourself."
Chen Luo jumped up and disappeared from the team.
The main thing in traveling around the world is to be safe. The goal of the caravan is too big to hide the aura. It's easy to sneak into the surroundings. Black is not only a cover color for the enemy, but also for your own team.
Before you figure out the goals of those people in front of you, it is safest to hide yourself first.
"Hero?!"
Lao Tian's voice changed, but when he looked back, he saw Chen Luo's figure on the oxcart, which made Lao Tian's heart suddenly lift.
"Niuwazi, Niuwazi!!"
At this time, Lao Tian no longer cared about his nephew's face and called out Tian Daniu's nickname.
"What's wrong, Uncle Wu?"
Tian Daniu, who was on guard over there, heard Lao Tian's voice and walked over quickly.
In the process, he glanced at the carriage behind him. At first glance, my heart suddenly suddenly jumped. The young guest of Uncle Wu was missing? Maybe there's something wrong with this kid.
"dangerous!"
Lao Tian was not stupid. He pulled his nephew aside and made sure no one was eavesdropping before speaking in a lower voice.
"Uncle Fifth, did you find something? Could it be your guest?"
Tian Daniu's heart suddenly jumped, and he glanced at the other brothers. When no one looked over, he lowered his voice and asked.
"No, my guest is an expert. He just told me that there was danger, and then he hid in the woods." As he spoke, Lao Tian picked up his nephew and started running away together. He had seen Chen Luo's methods on the road before, so he believed in Chen Luo's words. Because he understood, he couldn't watch his nephew die.
"Hurry up and hide in with me, and then come out after the storm has passed."
"Uncle Five!"
Tian Daniu grabbed Uncle Wu's arm.
As the captain of the guard, he naturally couldn't run away just because of Lao Tian's words, so he wouldn't have to mess around in the future. The most important thing is that unlike Lao Tian, he doesn't particularly believe in that young man.
"You should stay only if you are really in danger. The caravan is protected by experts. It is pitch dark outside. If you escape, you will lose your advantage and put yourself in danger."
What Tian Daniu said was reasonable and well-founded, which made Lao Tian hesitate.
After taking a look at the dark woods all around, fear suddenly came up. The little brother is a master of martial arts and can hide in the dark, but he is different. Any poisonous snake in the old forest can kill him.
"Stay here first and wait until you've passed Old Lin in front."
After comforting Lao Tian, Tian Daniu continued to patrol the front.
Looking back at the dark woods again, Lao Tian was completely frightened. I didn't think anything was wrong before, but now that my nephew reminds me, I feel like it's more dangerous outside.
dark place.
Chen Luo, who left the convoy, walked into the woods first.
He must grab the spiritual mine.
This is related to his follow-up path. The best solution is to attack before King Ning's follow-up team arrives. Otherwise, when the large army arrives, the special mineral deposits will really have nothing to do with him.
The Bone Forging Realm is not invincible. The imperial court also has masters of the Bone Forging Realm, and there are quite a few of them. The imperial court also has masters who are above the Bone Forging Realm. It is almost impossible for an individual to counter the state at the low level of military force.
Never underestimate the resources of a state machine. As the top leader of the state machine, Prince Ning must have a lot of resources at his disposal.
Because of this, Chen Luo needed the spiritual mine to break the deadlock, and he had always had a guess in his heart.
The mine in Qingya County might be a fairy mine! It was the spiritual mine needed by the immortal cultivators. Only in this way could it explain why King Ning would risk assassinating the royal family and slaughtering civilians in the past. When the benefits were enough, these people dared to sell their ancestors, not to mention just killing a few people.
After walking along the old forest for a while, the road forked.
Chen Luo stopped and observed.
On the left was a dry dirt road, and on the right was a wet waterway, with some water sounds faintly heard. The sound of the swords and weapons colliding that he heard before came from the right.
‘Blood follows the water and wind, right. ’
In the mind, a brain gave a suggestion.
The same knowledge, different brains give different feedback. Chen Luo glanced to the left, and finally his figure flashed and went to the right.
The further he went, the muddier the road became.
The damp water vapor permeated the land, mixed with the fallen leaves, and made a slight sound when stepped on.
After walking for a while, Chen Luo stopped suddenly.
Because he saw a corpse.
The choice was correct. This was where the battle took place before. At first, he thought it was an ambush against the caravan, but now it seems that it is not the case. It is more like a vendetta between Jianghu people. He and his uncle had seen many such vendettas when they buried corpses.
The first batch of "brains" that made him rich were provided by these people.
"It's a pity that he died from a heavy knife."
Chen Luo skillfully took out the deerskin gloves and turned over the body lying in the mud. This man looked very thin, and the joints of his fingers were slightly rough. From this point of view, he should be a master of claw skills. But this guy died miserably. His head was chopped through, and his face was split into two halves, separated from the nose, like a gourd with a lid, one on the left and one on the right. The white brain matter was mixed with the surrounding soil, which looked very miserable.
‘100% damage after touching a dead person, unreadable.’
This was the first time Chen Luo had seen a brain that was completely unreadable. He guessed that this person was not a strong person when he was alive, otherwise there should be at least 1% left.
