18th thought: The night is still dark
Dao Lao looked at the shadow that was gradually fading in the dawn, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
This kind of bad feeling is not only old knife, Xiao Ning also has it. Three nights in a row, three different flying boats, if not bluffing, then there is always a strong base.
The stronger the opponent's background, the worse the situation will be for Xiao Ning and Dao Lao's Donglin caravan.
"Dao Lao, let's go down again, what is the place?" Xiao Ning suddenly spoke, he had to find out the way ahead.
"A hundred miles further is Qingfeng Gorge, and the terrain is very bad for us!"
"Spare it?" Xiao Ning said.
"No, although our flying boat is good, it can't fly too high, the peaks on both sides of Qingfeng Gorge are very complicated, we can only walk from the canyon!" Dao Lao's voice became extremely solemn, the distance of a hundred miles is not long, and the terrain of Qingfeng Gorge is very unfavorable to them,
"How long does it take to get through Qingfeng Gorge?" Xiao Ning said.
"Qingfeng Gorge is very long, if you rush at full speed now, you will have to spend the night in Qingfeng Gorge!" said Dao Laodao.
"In that case, then we don't need to rush to the road, let's go around here, I think those shadows must have gone to Qingfeng Gorge and are ready to ambush us, since they can't avoid it, then let them wait a little longer!" Xiao Ning said after thinking about it.
"That makes sense, then when do you think it's best for us to enter Qingfeng Gorge?"
Xiao Ning smiled slightly, although the time was not long, but he had already thought about it a lot, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he said: "They like to act at night and rest during the day, so before dusk should be when they are more tired, let's go before dusk, let everyone have a good rest, we are going to fight at night!"
Xiao Ning's words actually didn't say it all, the shadows in the dark night will definitely not just appear in the night, they must also be monitoring their people during the day, rest at this time, and wait until the other party is tired before suddenly breaking in, this is the best choice.
"According to you, we entered the Breeze Gorge before dusk. After the elder Dao finished speaking, he left the deck of the flying boat and began to arrange for the people in the flying boat to rest, except for the necessary few personnel on duty, everyone else was forced to rest.
Xiao Ning didn't go back to his inner warehouse at the first time, he was on the deck of the flying boat, quickly spreading his divine thoughts, monitoring the surrounding movements, and at the same time, the terrain of the entire Qingfeng Gorge also appeared in his mind.
Some of these terrains were felt by his divine thoughts, and some of them were also recorded in the books he bought in Wujun City. Xiao Ning combined what he felt with what he felt in the book to deduce where the shadows of the dark night would intercept the Donglin caravan.
In addition, Xiao Ning was also curious about the little woman in the Donglin caravan, not knowing what the identity of the other party was, and why the caravan she led was attacked one after another. If it is an ordinary caravan, even if there is valuable goods, it should not cause so much trouble.
Of course, Xiao Ning was just curious, since this little woman didn't mean to reveal her identity, then he wouldn't ask, but the trouble in front of him was really a bit big for him.
As Dao Lao said, the mountainous terrain on both sides of Qingfeng Gorge is very complicated, even if the flying boat flies in the sky, it is still impossible to go over, so Qingfeng Gorge is the only way to go. Of course, this is not to say that it really can't be circumambulated, but the danger of circumambulation is even greater, because it takes a long cycle, and the Donglin caravan can't wait, and Xiao Ning himself can't wait.
Most of the people on the flying boat had already rested, and Xiao Ning also returned to his inner warehouse to start resting. Of course, although most people are resting, the atmosphere is not relaxed, because everyone knows that the purpose of rest is actually to fight.
The flying boat of the Donglin caravan walked on a very strange route, as if the city was going around in circles, but no matter how it went around, no one paid attention to it. Finally, when the red sun was setting in the west, the flying boat stopped circling and suddenly accelerated to the direction of the Qingfeng Gorge.
The topography of Seifukyo is very special, like an axe being cut in a mountain range, and the place where the axe falls is Seifukyo Gorge. Seifukyo is very long, and there are thousands of feet in the horizontal. Originally, at this width, the flying boat could also travel freely between them, but if someone ambushed here, it would be a different matter. Thousands of feet away, it is easy to be chased.
Although it is unlikely that it will rush directly from the Qingfeng Gorge, the flying boat of the Donglin caravan still increases its speed to the extreme, and it is best to rush over, and if it can't rush, it will also catch the opponent off guard.
Those mysterious shadows always don't appear until nightfall, and now there are more than two hours before nightfall, so that means that this should be the time when the opponent's sense of defense is the weakest.
Even Xiao Ning was praying in his heart, hoping that the Donglin caravan could rush out of Qingfeng Gorge by surprise. As long as you get out of Qingfeng Gorge, then the sky is high and the sea is wide, and it is not so easy for many parties to encircle it again, at least it cannot be as easy as in Qingfeng Gorge.
However, things tend to go in the direction of the worst distance expectations. When Xiao Ning's Donglin caravan's flying boat arrived at Qingfeng Gorge for about 100 miles, it happened to encounter a flying boat.
The ship was moving slowly, with only a few sentry men on the splint.
"Rush up and kill all the people inside!"
Dao Lao spoke, he was a golden immortal, and when he was about to fight, he was the commander-in-chief of everyone.
Woo Woo ......
As soon as Dao Lao's voice fell, the protectors who had already entered the state of preparation for battle flew up one after another. They can't fly with air, but they can jump from one boat to another within a certain distance.
Of course, the sentry on the flying boat on the opposite side are not idiots, and they were a little stunned when they saw the flying boat, but when everyone provoked it, they couldn't react.
"Enemy Attack ......"
As soon as the sentry spoke, he was shot in the throat by a volley of light. The light that appeared in the sky was naturally the flying knife of the old knife.
The throwing knife spun immediately after killing the sentry, and in the blink of an eye, it brought down all the other sentinels. At this time, the merchant protectors had already jumped onto the deck of the other party's flying boat, and these people didn't say much, they raised their weapons and went to the inner warehouse to kill.
There were quite a few people in the inner warehouse of the flying boat, but most of these people were resting, and they didn't wake up until the "enemy attack" appeared behind. But by this time, the Protector had already come in.
On one side it is well prepared, and on the other side it is like waking up from a big dream, the spirit of the two sides is different, and the state of the battle is naturally very different.
"Ah......h
The screams inside the flying boat were heard, the night had gradually fallen, and another dark night was coming, but what would happen this night, everyone's hearts were actually uncertain.
