The caravan accepted Zou Xuan's request and allowed him to join him on their way.

The caravan belonged to a wealthy man named Morogan, but this time he did not come, but sent his second treasurer to lead the caravan, that is, the merchant who had just talked to Zou Xuan.

The name of the second treasurer is Tutukas.

The caravan consisted of forty men, five of whom were merchants in charge of buying and selling, and they were Tutukas' followers. The other thirty-five were made up of laborers and guards.

This caravan is very large, although the number of people is not more than a hundred, but it is already a large-scale existence in the caravan!

It wasn't just these people who supported this huge caravan, but there were also five wagons and a hundred horses.

The mighty caravan, walking on the main road, formed a long procession.

Zou Xuan was very happy to be able to join the caravan. After all, it's much easier to sit in a carriage than to travel on two legs yourself!

Zou Xuan and Tutukas traveled in the same carriage.

In the carriage, Tutukas was hospitable and entertained Zou Xuan with a variety of food and wine, perhaps it was this enthusiasm that the distance between Zou Xuan and Tutukas was much closer.

"Thank you boss for your hospitality." Zou Xuan thanked Tutukas gratefully.

This Tutukas was an enthusiastic person, and as soon as he heard Zou Xuan's words of gratitude, he immediately smiled and waved his hand.

Tutukas squinted and laughed. "No, you don't! No! We businessmen all pay attention to a harmonious atmosphere to make money, and make friends everywhere in the world. After all, I don't know if I'll ask you one day, and maybe you'll be my customer, so I don't need to say any thanks, these are all things I should do. ”

"Huh." Zou Xuan laughed along with Tutukas. "Then in that case, I won't say these polite words!"

After a while, the two talked, chatted and talked about Yanfeng Mountain.

Tutukas was very curious and asked Zou Xuan, "Warrior, why are you going to Yanfeng Mountain?" ”

"Why does the boss ask this?" Zou Xuan heard something in Tutukas's words.

"That's the case, Yanfeng Mountain is rampant, all over the mountains. It's not a good place, so you have to be careful when you go there! ”

It's all wolf, isn't this just saying that Yanfeng Mountain is a den of thieves? Zou Xuan began to murmur in his heart: Why did the mayor let me go there?

Zou Xuan didn't answer Tutukas, but asked rhetorically: "In that case, aren't you afraid that when you cross Yanfeng Mountain, you're not afraid of encountering robbers?" ”

"Huh? Hahaha! Tutukas was asked by Zou Xuan and began to laugh. Of course not afraid, don't we have guards, not to mention that we take the road of Yanfeng Mountain all year round, and we will often make a point, and those Japanese bandits will not come to us for trouble. ”

Zou Xuan laughed again. "Since the boss is not afraid, I am a passer-by who doesn't have much money, and I am not afraid of thieves, so let them rob it."

"yes, yes. In the end, it's still fate, haha! ”

Zou Xuan wanted to ask Tutukas about the situation on Yanfeng Mountain, and more importantly, he wanted to inquire if there were really mercenaries there, but in the end, Zou Xuan didn't ask. At the end of the day, it's best to find out for yourself.

The caravan was much faster because of the horses that came to make the journey.

After walking for about half an hour, Tutukas asked Zou Xuan, "We are about to pass through Gujia City, but because we have abundant material reserves, we don't plan to stay here, so if you still have something to do here, don't miss it, warrior." ”

Zou Xuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't plan to stay here, and at the same time went directly to the Yanfeng Mountain.

"That's great!" Tutukas nodded and ordered the caravan to move on.

In this way, another hour passed, and the caravan finally came to the foot of Yanfeng Mountain.

Yanfeng Mountain, located at the junction of the Khomal Plain and the Sanchiros Plain, has continuous peaks and thousands of meters from east to west. The average altitude of Yanfeng Mountain is 1,000 meters high, and the highest peak is 2,000 meters high.

It is smoky all year round, and it is said that geese will be trapped in it because of the dense fog when they fly over, so Yanfeng Mountain is also called 'Yanfeng Mountain' by the locals.

Tutukas introduced the allusion of Yanfeng Mountain to Zou Xuan, and said: "This road into the mountain is in the valley, and the road out of the mountain is also this valley. You and I still have a moment to get together, and soon it's time to say we will break up. ”

"Thank you for taking care of you along the way." Zou Xuan's feelings for Tutukas are also from the heart.

The caravan began to move into the valley, and according to Tutukas, the fog was much thicker today than usual.

Almost fifty meters away, there was nothing to be seen.

For some reason, Zou Xuan was restless, always feeling as if something was going to happen.

As soon as I was thinking like this, I heard the sound of mutation all around.

"Knock, knock......"

It's a huge, terrifying crash.

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they heard a loud explosion from the side.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Then the wails of people and animals intersected all around.

"Ahh "Shhh

People were wailing in pain, and horses were neighing.

I saw that the carriages at the beginning and end of the front and back were already overturned on their backs! Only then did the crowd react, and the caravan was attacked. And the enemy is attacking by throwing boulders down from the mountain!

"Oops, we've been ambushed!"

After Zou Xuan reacted, he immediately looked around, but unfortunately the fog around him was thick, and he couldn't see it clearly whether it was above his head or around.

"Who are you? Why attack us! We offer money every month, why are you so untrustworthy! Tutukas stood there shouting! You could see how angry he was.

Some merchants make money by cunning, and some get money by honesty. It is clear that Tutukas is a man of integrity, and he naturally hates that kind of dishonest behavior the most!

"Whoosh!"

Zou Xuan was very familiar with this kind of sound, after all, not long ago, Zou Xuan had heard this kind of sound on the city wall of the ancient town.

It's the sound of feathered arrows!

"Oh no, dodge!" Zou Xuan pulled Tutukas over and immediately got to the bottom of the carriage. Sure enough, as soon as Tutukas left the place, there were more than a dozen more feathered arrows on the ground. ...

In such a foggy place, although the bandits were ready, they couldn't tell where the people below were.

Dense fog is a natural barrier, and at the same time a natural obstacle. But just now Tutukas yelled like this, and directly became a live target in the eyes of these people, fortunately, Zou Xuan reacted quickly, otherwise Tutukas would have been shot into a hedgehog now.

"These guys are really ruthless enough, don't talk about any affection, come up and kill them first." Zou Xuan admires these bandits in his heart, after all, these people are at least not like the bandits next to them, first come to this mountain I opened, and this tree was planted by me.

It's really rare to see such a clean robber.

Tutukas didn't understand these truths, but the others were all guards who had traveled from south to north and seen the world, and they were the ones who ate this bowl of rice, and everyone understood it. There was no noise, all leaning behind the various covers, quietly observing the changes in the situation.

Since the arrows were shot, the mountains have been silent. The bandits on the mountain have also stopped moving, and no one under the mountain wants to be such a live target.

After about two or three minutes of stalemate, a voice finally came from the mountain.

"Those who know each other will leave treasures, hurry up!"

No one at the foot of the mountain reacted, and everyone didn't listen to the bandits at all.

After waiting for about a few more minutes, the bandits saw that the group of merchants did not react, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"His grandmother's, if you don't surrender, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"

There was still no movement at the foot of the mountain. And there was no substantial reaction after the bandit bluffed. Everyone is at a stalemate here again.

It can be seen that these bandits are also afraid of the caravan guards, and there is no substantive action.

Tutukas was so frightened by the arrow that he had just fired that he hid under the carriage for a long time before he recovered. But when he came to his senses, he began to think about the whole thing, and gradually Tukas had doubts on his face.

"That's not right! We have been doing business here for many years, and we have not met robbers who have broken their promises, and these bandits are not like ordinary bandits, they do not seem to be in it for money, but ......"

"And for life?" Zou Xuan also saw this, and after thinking about it for a few minutes, he gradually realized that the whole thing was not quite right.

"It looks like so." Tutukas smiled helplessly. From his eyes, Zou Xuan felt that Tutukas seemed to know the inside story.

Tutukas lowered his voice and said to Zou Xuan: "If I didn't guess, they came for me!" ”

"Why do you think that?" Zou Xuan asked.

Tutukas was furious and slammed his fist the ground. "This must be the woman's intention to borrow the hands of these bandits to get rid of me, it must be so!"

"Woman? Who is it? ”

"She's ......"

Before Tutukas could finish his sentence, he saw the sound of shouting and killing begin to sound on the mountain.

It turned out that the bandits on the mountain could no longer sit still, and the longer they dragged on in such a place where trade must pass, the more trouble they would have, so although they were not very sure, they still decided to take a risk and go down the mountain to attack.

"Kill! If you don't leave me alive, you must take down Tutukas's head for me! ”

The shouts of killing have confirmed Tutukas's previous suspicions, and it seems that someone is really planning to kill Tutukas.

Zou Xuan told Tutukas. "You hide here, I'll go out and fend off them!"

After saying that, Zou Xuan got out from under the carriage, and at this time there was already chaos around him, and the guards were killing with these bandits.

Without hesitation, Zou Xuan summoned two skeleton warriors, commanding them to fight while using the glow to attack the bandits.

The number of these bandits is much more than what Zou Xuan analyzed before, this number has long exceeded the number of guards, and the bandits in the valley must now have more than 100 people, and there is still a steady stream of bandits joining the battlefield on the mountain.

The scruples shown by the bandits before made Zou Xuan misjudge, but since there are such a number of bandits, why are they so worried?

Zou Xuan was puzzled, but his doubts were soon answered. It turns out that the combat effectiveness of these bandits is really low.

No wonder they are so timid, and they are engaged in sneak attacks and intimidation.

Although the quality of the bandits is not high, that doesn't mean things will be easy. On the contrary, things are gradually turning in the direction of trouble.

The battle didn't last long before more shouts of killing poured out of the valley. These are reinforcements from bandits!

It turned out that the bandits had ambushed a large number of troops outside the valley, and their original battle plan was to lure all the people out of the valley, where there was no thick fog and could use the maximum power of their bows and arrows. Who thought that this group of merchants would not be tricked at all, and after desperation, the bandits began to gather those ambushes to rush to reinforcements.

There was a moment of silence just now, but it was actually the bandits waiting for reinforcements.

The two sides are fighting wits and courage, and there are only those with poor skills here, but there are absolutely no stupid people. Everyone is eating with their heads in their hands, and if you are stupid, you will only end up dead.

The more the enemy fought, the more they fought, and gradually the caravan's side began to become overwhelmed.

However, Zou Xuan became more and more courageous, because the spirit master would be able to summon more and more creatures over time.

At this moment, Zou Xuan had summoned ten skeleton warriors, as well as three ghouls. It can be said that Zou Xuan can now withstand one-third of the combat power of the entire caravan.

As the battle progressed, there were no reinforcements on the bandits' side, and the number was declining. Although many of the guards were injured, the situation was on the good side.

But at this moment......

"Stop it, if you hear it, stop it!"

A shrill scream echoed throughout the valley.

I saw a short, thin, one-eyed man, who was now holding Tutukas and moving towards the bandit, with a sharp dagger in his hand, and the dagger was pressed against Tutukas's neck.

Seeing this scene, the audience was shocked. No one would have thought that these bandits would take advantage of the chaos to find Tutukas hiding under the carriage.

This Tutukas is the owner of the entire escort team, the leader of the entire caravan, and also a good friend of Zou Xuan.

He was the crux of everything, he was caught, and all the people stopped at that moment.

Everyone was nervously watching the course of events.

"Don't move, don't move! Whoever dares to move casually, don't blame me for being unkind! The one-eyed thin man stepped back nervously, and everywhere he went, the guards blocking the way could only flash to the side, not daring to resist at all.

No one thought that the battle situation, which had been developing on the good side, would be turned upside down because of this sudden change. ...
