Chapter 214: Su Mu and the Tiger Demon’s Corpse (1)
Yanzhou.
On a remote official road, a group of people slowly passed by.
There were more than a hundred people in this group, and most of them were fully armed elite guards.
The carriage at the back was carrying a lot of goods. It seemed to be a caravan.
The few tall horses at the front of the team were particularly eye-catching.
This was a divine chariot that was more than three meters tall, shiny black, and muscular.
It was twice the size of an ordinary horse.
This was the legendary Black Jade Horse that possessed the bloodline of the demon race!
Not only could the Black Jade Horse travel thousands of miles in a day, but it also had boundless strength and extraordinary battle prowess.
Even ordinary lions and tigers wouldn’t dare to be impudent in front of it!
The price of such a BMW was naturally shocking.
Moreover, there is a price but no market, and it is difficult to buy it with a thousand gold.
The fact that this caravan had five Black Jade Horses was enough to show their strength!
When ordinary bandits saw Black Jade Horses, they would naturally retreat and not dare to provoke them.
..
“Second brother, how long will it take for us to arrive?”
On one of the shorter black jade horses was a young girl in black and red clothes, waving a whip in her hand.
Against the Black Jade Horse, she looked like an exquisite doll, very beautiful.
“Ten days.”
On the other black jade horse was a handsome man with a dark complexion.
His face was dark and his hand was still on the blade. He kept observing his surroundings as if he was on guard against something.
Just his appearance alone gave off a reliable feeling.
“What? Ten more days? My butt is about to be smashed! If I knew it would be so hard, I wouldn’t have come out with you!”
The girl pouted and cried.
The man looked helpless and sighed,”
“You’re the one who pestered me to get out. You can’t blame anyone else.”
“Second Brother, can’t we be faster? Wouldn’t they arrive in three to five days if they sped up?”
The girl begged.
Their speed was still alright before, but after walking here, they suddenly slowed down, as if they were guarding against something.
Hearing this, the dark-faced man said solemnly,”
“Do you know why there are no bandits on this road? Because there are many demons here!”
“Although it is an official road, we cannot let our guard down.”
“In the past few years, there have been at least eight hundred people killed by demons on this road.”
“We can’t just rush over quickly. The bigger the commotion, the easier it will attract the attention of the demons.”
“Be patient and walk slowly.”
Hearing that, the girl asked curiously,”
“Then why didn’t you change your path?”
Hearing this, the surrounding people revealed a somewhat speechless expression.
“Fourth Sister, why don’t you think about it? The official road is already like this, let alone the other small roads?”
“There have been more and more yaomo in recent years. Great Gan is in chaos!”
The dark-faced man explained helplessly.
Upon hearing this, the young girl realized what a stupid question she had asked and could not help but scratch her head awkwardly.
“Hehe, ten days, ten days. Just take it that I’m suffering with Second Brother.”
The young girl laughed and did not ask any more questions.
..
This group of people came from the Duan Clan Merchant Band.
The dark-faced man was the second son of the Duan family, Duan Pingyang.
The young girl was the fourth daughter of the Duan family, Duan Xiaodie.
The two of them were ten years apart, and Duan Xiaodie was the only daughter of the Duan family. Her father and three brothers usually doted on her.
This mission was relatively simple. Duan Xiaodie was clamoring to come, so Duan Pingyang had no choice but to bring her along.
..
“Yak!”
As they were chatting, the Black Jade Horses they were riding on suddenly neighed in fear and retreated.
“Everyone, be careful!”
Duan Pingyang was shocked. She comforted her mount while looking around with her sword.
However, after looking around, he did not find anything unusual.
“Strange, why is Black Wind so shocked? Isn’t there nothing here?”
Duan Xiaodie patted the black cloud horse under her and said with some confusion.
“Don’t be careless! The Black Cloud Horse was ferocious by nature and was not afraid of lions or tigers, so how could it be frightened for no reason?”
“Something must have happened to scare you to this extent. There might be demons lurking around!”
Duan Pingyang’s expression was solemn. The guards around him also drew their weapons, ready to fight at any moment.
However, after a long time of vigilance, nothing happened.
Just as they were bewildered, Duan Xiaodie suddenly saw a person lying in front of her.
“Eh? Look, there seems to be someone lying on the road ahead?”
Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the finger and saw a figure lying on the side of the road.
At the same time, the Black Jade Horse quieted down completely. It was no longer frightened and uneasy.
It seemed that the thing that made them feel uneasy and afraid had left.
..
Although Duan Pingyang did not know what was going on, she could only lead the team forward.
He carefully walked over and found a handsome young man lying on the side of the road. He looked to be around 17 or 18 years old.
He lay by the roadside, his face pale and his eyes closed. He didn’t know whether he was alive or dead.
His clothes were tattered, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.
“Priest Zhang, look at this…”
Duan Pingyang stopped a dozen meters away from the young man and looked at a Daoist beside him.
This short-bearded Daoist was also riding a black cloud horse, which showed his status in this caravan.
However, Qi Practitioners would never have a low status no matter where they went.
“Let’s go,”
Daoist Zhang formed a hand seal, and his eyes shone with spiritual light as he looked at the youth lying on the side of the road.
“There is no evil, evil, and evil. However, there was no sign of life. He was dead.”
After taking a glance, Priest Zhang’s confident voice rang out, as if he had seen through everything.
