Chapter 204: Guarding the Caravan
Zhou Shan said straight to the point: "Hu Daoyou, there is no need to say more gossip. What happened to you this time?"
When Juan heard this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "I want to gossip with you, but unfortunately I can't." This time, I complained to the merchant alliance, in fact, I was worried that this time the caravan would be robbed. You know, recently, in several countries near the Zheng Kingdom of the Song Kingdom, our Gathering Star Pavilion and other Gathering Star Pavilions have often been attacked by the monks of the Yuanling Merchant Alliance, so we must not be on guard! Especially this time, I received information that there had been a figure of the monks of the Yuanling Merchant League near Liangzhou. Originally, I was worried about it, so I asked for support from the headquarters. Unexpectedly, just a moment before you teleported, the caravan of this pavilion on the border of Liangzhou was really attacked!"
Zhou Shan was shocked when he heard this: "What, the thief of Yuan Ling has already made a move!?"
Juan nodded, "That's true, but Zhou Daoyou doesn't need to panic. According to the news, the one who attacked the caravan this time was just a foundation building monk of the Yuanling Merchant Alliance. Although the caravan was not guarded by the monks of the foundation building period, with the defensive circle of the caravan, the early monks of the caravan could not help the caravan for a while. ”
When Zhou Shan heard this, his expression couldn't help but calm down, and then he sneered three times.
"A monk in the early stage of foundation building dares to be so arrogant? I think he is here to seek death! Hu Daoyou don't have to worry, I can easily kill such a thief alone! You give me the current location of the caravan, and Zhou will come. ”
Black しし Pavilion
Juan showed a hint of caution and said: "The thieves of Yuan Ling are very cunning, and Zhou Daoyou should not be careless. Let this Li Daoyou accompany you too!"
Zhou Shan glanced at Li Sen and said, "Since that's the case, you can go with you!"
Naturally, Li Sen had no objection.
On the side, Juan marked the location of the map and pointed it out to Zhou Shan, and after Zhou Shan confirmed, he directly threw out the sky plate and went straight to the western location.
Li Sen naturally also found a cyan sky plate, and flew up and followed closely.
Although Li Sen had not purchased the Imperial Plate, he had already seized it from other monks, and he did not know how much it had been seized.
Compared to the flying boat, the sky plate does not have a high attribute. The speed of the drive depends on the strength of the monk's mana.
As for Juan, he was guarded in the Star Pavilion to prevent thieves from attacking.
Zhou Shan's speed was naturally extremely fast, although Li Sen was also following behind, but he didn't mean to wait for Li Sen at all, but galloped towards the destination with all his might.
It seems that after hearing that the other party was just a monk in the early stage of foundation building, this person was eager to make meritorious contributions at this moment.
You know, in addition to the quest, every enemy monk killed will also receive a corresponding reward. An enemy of the level of a monk in the early stage of foundation building will also have a reward of as many as five hundred spirit stones.
Li Sen saw Zhou Shan flying away, but he was not in a hurry to catch up, but just hung behind at his usual speed.
When it comes to the technique of flying away, Li Sen naturally has several secret techniques, which can burst out with a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. But now that he knows that the situation is not particularly urgent, Li Sen is naturally unwilling to expose his hole cards easily.
Liangzhou is not big, and Li Sen flew away for about a few pillars of incense, and finally arrived at the location of the caravan.
It is an official road built on the mountain, but it is quite spacious, and the mountain is full of lush forests. The caravan of the Gathering Star Merchant Alliance, about seventeen or eighteen people, were all escorting several carriages full of goods, gathered in a rocky area on the side of the mountain road. Above these people's heads, there is a pale yellow light mask, which looks like a good defensive circle.
After Li Sen came here, he didn't see Zhou Shan, but he alarmed the people in these caravans.
These people were all taken aback when they saw Li Sen appear, but when they saw a Gathering Star Business Alliance token hanging from Li Sen's waist, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
One of them, a blue-robed old man who looked like the leader of the caravan, cautiously looked through the defensive array, and asked loudly, "This senior, but the reinforcements sent by the headquarters of the merchant alliance?"
Li Sen stepped on the Sky Plate, slowly descended from the air, and said indifferently: "Li is indeed a person sent by the headquarters of the Business Alliance, what about Zhou Shan?
The blue-robed old man knew that Li Sen was really a reinforcement from the headquarters, and his old face showed a hint of joy, and he hurriedly replied: "You mean a black-robed senior who came here just now, right? After he came, he immediately called the thief who attacked the caravan. The thief was defeated by Senior Zhou, so he fled to the west, and Senior Zhou pursued him, and it seemed that he had not returned at the moment. ”
Hearing this, Li Sen nodded slightly, and then stood outside the caravan and said, "Since the thieves have been driven away, this danger has been lifted. Zhou Daoyou has strong mana, he should be back soon, you can wait with me for a while!"
"Dare not obey!" the old man in the green robe agreed with a smile, then turned around and shouted at the group of caravan people behind him, asking them to quickly pack their bags, prepare the carriage and horses, and just wait for Zhou Shan to return, and then set off immediately.
Li Sen took a look at this caravan, and found that there were only a few Qi Refining Stage cultivators in this caraver, who were responsible for the management of the caravan, and the rest of the people were ordinary people with no cultivation, Li Sen was no longer interested, and directly stood in place, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Not long after, Zhou Shan flew from the west with a gloomy face, and then landed in front of the caravan.
Li Sen opened his eyes, glanced at Zhou Shan, and said, "Zhou Daoyou's expression is clothed, could it be that he didn't catch up with that monk of the Yuanling Business Alliance?"
"Hey, don't mention it!" Zhou Shan's face was full of gloom, and his expression was also quite unhappy: "This stinky boy is too clever, and he didn't have a fight with Zhou, so he ran to the west." After chasing Zhou for a while, this person suddenly didn't know what secret technique he had stimulated, and a slip of blood appeared on his body, and his speed increased greatly! Zhou saw that he couldn't catch up in a short time, and he was worried about the situation here, so he returned. ”
Li Sen said lightly: "There is blood all over the body, and the escape technique has increased greatly, it should be the blood escape technique of the 'blood demon' vein." However, this technique consumes essence and blood very much, and I'm afraid that even if that person runs back, he will have to cultivate for half a year. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Shan waved his hand, as if he didn't want to mention this bad thing again, but instead glanced at the green-robed steward of the caravan, and said, "Without further ado, you can set off later!" Zhou escorted you back to the Juxing Pavilion and handed over this mission, so you can return and look for other tasks!"
When Li Sen heard this, he said a little strangely: "Zhou Daoyou, you seem to be in a hurry to receive the task." ”
Zhou Shan said arrogantly: "Li Daoyou, Zhou doesn't hide it from you." Nowadays, there are many things in the business alliance, and there are countless tasks. For Shangmeng, it can be said that it is bad luck. But for ordinary guests like us, it is a great time to do business! If we don't take this opportunity to make more contributions, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future!"
Li Sen smiled slightly, "Listening to what you say, it seems that it is difficult to earn the contribution points of the Shang Alliance. ”
"Of course!" Zhou Shan snorted and said, "Don't you know, in normal times, the tasks in the business alliance are extremely limited, and we and Keqing have almost nothing to do. After all, my Gathering Star Business Alliance is famous, and there are more than ten great cultivators in the infancy stage of Guangyuan, how dare ordinary people provoke us!? In the past hundred years, except for the pure yang lineage of the Chu State, it has been reluctant to be arrogant for a while, and the behemoth of the Yuanling Business Alliance dares to oppose us everywhere. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Shan glanced at Li Sen again, and suddenly asked, "Li Daoyou's face is very raw, isn't it a monk who has just advanced to build a foundation and become a guest of this business alliance?"
Li Sen nodded and said, "Not bad." Li has indeed just become a guest secretary of the business alliance. ”
"Newcomers, listen to the old man's advice, take advantage of this reality, do more tasks, earn contributions to share the worries of the business alliance, the opportunity must not be missed, and the loss will not come again. If you come to my cultivation in the future, and then work hard to make contributions, I'm afraid it will be a little too late. After all, this kind of thing is not a temporary task that can be obtained immediately!" Zhou Shan seemed to be very enthusiastic about mentioning some newcomers, so while the caravan was still cleaning up, he gave Li Sen a few more words.
When Li Sen heard the words 'Heavenly Spirit Pill', his expression finally moved slightly, but Li Sen laughed softly: "Li is just a person who has just advanced to the foundation building period, how dare he expect such a rare thing as the Heavenly Spirit Pill? In the future, whether he can successfully advance to the late stage of foundation building like Zhou Daoyou, I'm afraid it's still a problem." ”
When Zhou Shan heard this, he said with a grin: "This is true. If the qualifications are not enough, I am afraid that I will not even be able to break through the middle stage of foundation building. After all, among the monks in the foundation building period, there are fully half of them who are stuck in the early stage for the rest of their lives. People who can advance to the late stage of foundation building like Zhou, I'm afraid that only two or three out of ten people are possible!"
When he said this, Zhou Shan's face was quite complacent, obviously very proud of his cultivation.
Li Sen smiled silently.
Soon, the caravan had been cleaned up, the defensive formation had been completely lifted, and under the leadership of the blue-robed monk, the caravan set off again.
And Zhou Shan and Li Sen set up the sky plate in the air and followed the convoy slowly.
Everyone in the caravan saw that there were two foundation building period monks guarding their heads, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they all looked relaxed and walked towards the direction of the Gathering Star Pavilion.
In the air, Zhou Shan opened the way in front, and Li Sen guarded the tail in the rear. However, after Zhou Shan hurriedly led the convoy away, Li Sen, who stayed at the end, did not leave with these people immediately, but looked meaningfully at a mountain forest in the distance, and then slowly left at the end of the convoy.
After a short time, the caravan disappeared into the distance of the official road, and gradually disappeared.
But about half an hour after the caravan left, in the mountain forest that Li Sen had been looking at before, two rays of light slowly flew out of it.
These two people were all in the late stage of foundation building, and their expressions were extremely indifferent looking at the direction of the caravan's departure, although they were silent, they seemed to have something in their hearts.
Not long after, a red-robed monk who had cultivated in the early stage of foundation building returned here with a look of embarrassment.
This red-robed monk had a pale face, as if he had just used the secret technique and had lost a lot of essence blood, it seemed that Bacheng was the monk in the early stage of foundation building who had just been expelled by Zhou Shan.
