Chapter 46 Dealing with the Guards
Wuyang is the main city of Wuyang County. It is naturally larger and more prosperous than Fengyang City.
МThe streets are full of traffic.
This was Ye Liuyun's first time coming to the county town.
He soon saw Wanbao Pavilion on the street. "Sure enough, there are Wanbao Pavilions everywhere!" But he had nothing to buy, so he didn't go in.
Then he saw the nearby Beast Control Hall. He had always been curious about this place, so he went in and took a look around.
It turns out that this beast-taming hall not only sells tamed ferocious beasts, but also rents them out.
Most of the ferocious beasts for rent are transportation beasts, mostly birds, which are convenient for guests to use when traveling.
This beast control hall has doors in various counties and cities, and can return ferocious beasts in other places. It's just that it's expensive. To rent a bird from here to Tianyun County, it costs at least two hundred medium-grade crystal stones.
This opened Ye Liuyun's eyes. I never thought there was such a business!
No wonder Liang Xue looked so surprised when she knew he could control beasts. If you have time to catch a ferocious beast and tame it, you can save a lot of time and crystals! Why didn’t I think of this before?
After that, he went to a restaurant with many families. He had heard from his aunt before that the best way to get information was to go to a restaurant, where there were many people chatting.
As expected, the people in the restaurant were chatty and chatting about everything. Why are the young masters from certain families jealous of the top star of Zuihong Mansion? What big case has happened recently...
The most talked about thing is that a valuable treasure may have been born in the nearby Leiming Stream, causing the power of thunder and lightning to wreak havoc. Many mercenaries and warriors went to hunt for the treasure and died there.
"The power of thunder and lightning? My Thunder Fist needs this kind of power." He became more and more itchy as he listened, and finally made a decision.
"Now that you're here, don't miss it. Anyway, I have enough time, so I'll go take a look!"
So he asked the people around him about the route to Leiming Stream and prepared to go there to take a look.
And the guard who was following him naturally saw it.
Before he finished his meal, a middle-aged man came over and asked sincerely: "Brother, I see you are asking about the route to Lei Mingjian. Are you going there to hunt for treasure?"
Ye Liuyun glanced at him, wondering. "This man is undoubtedly the leader of the guard. But isn't he at the fourth level of True Yuan? How did he become the first level of True Yuan?"
But when his consciousness glanced at a pendant worn around this man's neck, he immediately understood that this man was carrying a treasure that could change his realm.
The so-called treasures are the same as weapons, but their functions are mostly auxiliary. Of course, there are also offensive treasures, but those are very rare.
Ye Liuyun remained calm, pretending to be alert and asked: "Is something wrong?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "To be honest, little brother, I also want to go to Lei Mingjian to hunt for treasures, but I heard that it is very dangerous there, so I want to find someone to go with me. I saw you were alone, so I came over to ask. Little brother If you don't mind, how about we go together tomorrow? We can also take care of each other in case of danger.
Ye Liuyun showed a clear expression and relaxed his guard. He agreed immediately and made an appointment with him on the time and place to meet.
"That's just right! It's much safer if you have a companion. I'll stay at the Xingyun Inn. I'll wait for you at the inn tomorrow morning and we'll set off together."
"Okay! See you tomorrow morning!" The middle-aged man was very cheerful. After agreeing, he left directly.
Ye Liuyun was secretly happy. "It seems like you can have a good night's sleep! They probably won't do anything tonight."
After he finished his meal, he went directly back to the inn to rest.
Although he felt safe, he still released some spiritual consciousness when sleeping to prevent accidents.
Nothing happened all night, Ye Liuyun slept until dawn! Wake up feeling refreshed in the morning!
"It feels good!" He stretched out his waist and went out to have breakfast.
Just after dinner, the middle-aged man came. So the two of them left the city together and rushed to Leiming Stream on foot.
Leiming Stream is located in a dense forest thirty miles outside Wuyang County, not very far away.
The middle-aged man has been taking the initiative to lead the way. Not long after entering the dense forest, Ye Liuyun became particularly cautious and called him to stop from time to time.
"Brother! There seems to be movement ahead!" Ye Liuyun said, hiding next to the middle-aged man.
But after several times, it was all a false alarm.
"Brother! You are too cautious!" The middle-aged man laughed.
"Haha, this isn't my first time going out! It's better to be cautious!" Ye Liuyun smiled coquettishly and continued to follow him.
Seeing that they were approaching their ambush circle, Ye Liuyun said there was movement again and hid behind the middle-aged man.
The man didn't take it seriously and opened his mouth to laugh at him. Unexpectedly, a dagger was inserted straight into his heart from his back, and it also carried the power of thunder and lightning.
"You..." The man turned around slowly and stared at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun twisted his hand and pulled out the dagger. Asked: "How is it? Are you familiar with this dagger?"
"How do you know?" the guard leader asked with his last strength. He never expected that such a careful plan would be discovered by a stupid kid, and his own life would be involved.
"Tch! You want to lie to me, but you're still far away!" Ye Liuyun said, reaching out and pulling the pendant from his neck.
The guard leader didn't understand until his death how he was exposed.
"Well! A high-grade Huang-level treasure is worth some money!"
Then, he took off the middle-aged man's storage ring. Upon inspection, there were more than 100,000 low-grade crystal stones inside.
"It seems that all the funds for their group's activities are on this leader. The others don't have any money with them at all."
Ye Liuyun collected his storage ring, ignored the body, and continued to move forward. Without the threat of this fourth-level true essence guard, the others could just give him training.
Less than half an hour. With the help of the black python, all the guards fell to his sword.
The reason why he used the knife was to save his energy for exploring the Thunder Stream.
Otherwise, he really wants to practice his Heaven-cutting Finger. It's just that Jie Tianzhi consumes too much energy, so now is not the time.
"Huh? Is there anyone else following me?"
Ye Liuyun didn't go far when he found someone else following him, but he didn't know who it was.
Ye Liuyun frowned. "This man's level is obviously much higher than mine! But he has never made a move. He must not be an enemy, otherwise I would have been dead!"
Thinking of this, he ignored it and continued deep into the Thunder Stream.
Lu Wei was also depressed. If you continue to follow, you will be discovered by this kid sooner or later! What a freak, how come his consciousness is so strong!
Ye Liuyun walked deep into the dense forest for about half an hour when he heard bursts of thunder and hurriedly ran towards it.
From a distance, he saw lightning, thunder, and dark clouds in a mountain stream. The entire dense forest was completely dark.
But this couldn't stop his phantom at all. Instead, he speeded up, hoping to get rid of the people following him.
He walked toward the mountain stream where there was the most thunder and lightning.
As the thunder and lightning became more intense, his situation became more and more dangerous.
