Chapter 430 Puppet \u0026 In-depth
"On behalf of everyone in the caravan, I would like to thank you for your hard work and risking your way through the snowfields to get here. Otherwise, if we continue to be trapped here, the consequences will be unimaginable. The caravan manager, who is nearly fifty years old, has a sincere smile on his face. .
"Shopkeeper Li is too polite," Liang Xin'an responded.
Jing Rou's attention on the side was not focused on this. At this time, he was lowering his head to take stock of the supplies carried by the caravan.
Each wooden barrel contains kerosene. In addition, there are some warm clothes and spirits. In short, they are the most urgently needed supplies at the moment.
"Sir, you don't need to take inventory. We have kept all the goods very well, and we haven't even used them during the past few days." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.
Jing Rou nodded, and then asked: "So how are we going to send it in?"
In Jing Rou's opinion, after all these twists and turns, it would be impossible for the caravan to continue moving forward.
Therefore, Liang Xin'an and she had to find a way to transport such a large amount of supplies.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, shopkeeper Li said: "It is impossible for you two to transport so many things by yourself. Besides, we have traveled thousands of miles to get here, can we go back home just after encountering such a small danger? ?”
Jing Rou was startled, obviously she did not expect that this caravan manager who looked very shrewd could actually say such words.
"So what you mean is..."
"In business, the most important thing is to have a beginning and an end. What's more, Leader Kong and I have been friends for many years, and with the help of the two of you, we have to finish this trip to the snowfield no matter what." Shopkeeper Li said righteously.
This result is naturally the best.
Jing Rou and Liang Xin'an looked at each other and had no objections to this.
Then the caravan began to break camp.
Looking at these silent caravan men who were immersed in their work, Jing Rou couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it is not easy to make a living these days. Such an excellent caravan actually has to take such a big risk." Do business deep in the snowfields.”
Liang Xin'an didn't say a word, his attention kept spinning on these guys and the guards in the distance.
Although these people behaved normally, Liang Xin'an always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was, so she could only suppress it in her heart.
Soon, the caravan finished handling everything and then set off.
Liang Xin'an pushed the lighting truck at the front, while Jing Rou looked at the compass to identify the road.
At this time, Shopkeeper Li and the caravan's guard leader came over.
"Did you two make this yourself?" Shopkeeper Li looked very interested in this lighting truck.
"Well, that's right."
"What a genius idea!" Shopkeeper Li praised sincerely.
The guard leader stood aside and said nothing.
At this moment, Liang Xin'an suddenly asked: "May I ask what this friend's name is?"
"Oh, he is the guard leader of our caravan, his name is..."
Shopkeeper Li was about to introduce him, but Liang Xin'an interrupted him directly, and then looked at the guard leader seriously.
"Excuse me, what is your name?"
Jing Rou also noticed something at this time. She remained calm on the surface, but secretly she had already tightened her grip on the gun in the bag.
Although he didn't know Liang Xin'an's intention for doing this, out of trust in his fellow disciples, if there was anything wrong, he would draw his gun and shoot.
At this moment, the guard leader was heard speaking.
"My name is Jiang Qian, and I come from Babaili Mountain City. Is there anything else you would like to ask?"
Liang Xin'an took a deep look at Jiang Qian, then shook her head, "No, I was just curious for a moment, so I asked."
"It's okay!" Jiang Qian responded casually, and then said to Shopkeeper Li: "Shopkeeper, I'm going to inspect the team."
"Go!" Shopkeeper Li said.
Then Jiang Qian hugged Liang Xin'an and Jing Rou, turned around and left.
"You two, don't be like him. Lao Jiang has this temper. He is very taciturn. Sometimes he can't say a word for a whole day." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.
"How could it be!" Liang Xin'an also laughed.
Then the two chatted very enthusiastically for a while, and then Shopkeeper Li said goodbye and left.
After he left, Jing Rou asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with Jiang Qian?"
Liang Xin'an shook her head, "No."
"Then why did you question him face to face?" Jing Rou asked strangely,
"I just have an indescribable feeling in my heart. I always feel that he and many people in this caravan are weird." Liang Xin'an frowned.
Upon hearing this, Jing Rou couldn't help but feel relieved, and then said with a smile: "People who have been living in such dangerous areas all year round are more or less weird. This is normal."
"You don't have to worry so much. Besides, even if they really have problems, with these things in my hand, even if they are all in, they are still no match."
Jing Rou patted the bag on her waist and said proudly.
Liang Xin'an felt relieved upon hearing this. She felt that she had indeed made a fuss just now, and maybe she was overthinking it, so she pushed the lighting truck and continued to move forward.
But they didn't notice that just as they were immersed in their journey, in the caravan behind them, Shopkeeper Li, who was smiling and looking like he was making money, seemed to be a different person at this time. His expression was even more strange.
"This younger guy is so alert. If I hadn't temporarily manipulated Jiang Qian into talking, his secret would have been exposed just now."
He muttered in a low voice. There was no trace of any human emotion in his eyes. They were all filled with cold and bone-chilling evil.
As for the others, except for walking silently, they were just like robots, and they couldn't even hear their breathing.
——
Liu Yuhuan and Wu Baoer were rubbing the rope.
The so-called rope twisting is to use torn strips of cloth and twist them into long strips little by little, and then connect them together to finally form a long rope.
And it's not just the two of them, even others are busy at this time.
In fact, Zhao Ya's preparations for this expedition were not inadequate. He had a rope in his bag.
But the problem is not enough.
Zhao Ya planned to use ropes to connect everyone together this time, and then enter the mist.
This way you can avoid getting lost as much as possible.
But this would require too much rope.
After all, in this expedition, Zhao Ya brought all the powerful sects in the entire Huali Land with him.
With so many people, even if each person only uses a small section, that is still a huge number.
That’s why everyone started rubbing the rope together.
After rubbing for a long time, Liu Yuhuan shook his sore wrist and looked up into the distance.
Zhao Ya was seen standing in front of the fog in the distance talking to He Nandou and others.
She wrinkled her nose slyly.
Since embarking on the journey, Liu Yuhuan's time to be in contact with Zhao Ya has become numbered.
This made Liu Yuhuan, who was obsessed with the smell of Zhao Ya, very dissatisfied.
But she didn't dare to say anything else, because Zhao Ya made it clear at the beginning that allowing her to follow him on the road was already the greatest tolerance.
If she dares to cause any trouble, Zhao Ya will let her leave without mercy.
Liu Yuhuan knew that Zhao Ya always kept his word, so he was honest all the way and didn't make any small moves.
But this time traveling through the fog allowed Liu Yuhuan to see an opportunity.
As long as I follow Zhao Ya later, wouldn't I be able to create opportunities for close contact?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Wu Bao'er opposite, and then whispered: "Sister Bao'er..."
"Whatever you have to say means nothing!" Wu Baoer said coldly without even raising his head.
At this time, she was almost fed up.
I thought I could prove my worth by following Zhao Ya on this expedition, but I didn't expect to have a dragster like Liu Yuhuan with me.
Wu Baoer was bored to death by being with him every day without talking, and having to sleep together at night.
But she didn't dare to say anything, after all, this order was given to her by Zhao Ya.
Therefore, we can only target Liu Yuhuan.
But the problem is that no matter how she speaks sarcastically with a straight face, Liu Yuhuan doesn't seem to notice it. Instead, she talks to him with a smile, and she is so shameless.
Just like now, Liu Yuhuan didn't take it seriously when he heard Wu Baoer's words.
"Sister Bao'er, when we enter the fog later, can you find a way to get to the adults? I'm a little scared..."
Wu Baoer rolled his eyes.
If you have not had contact with Liu Yuhuan before, you will definitely be confused by her appearance now.
That pitiful face and eyes that were about to cry were as weak as a little flower.
But as the person who had the most contact with Liu Yuhuan, Wu Baoer knew how scary this little girl was.
Although she has no cultivation, her strength is astonishing. At least if Wu Baoer doesn't take her seriously, it will be difficult to win her over.
"It's up to you, but if you take the blame then, don't use me as a cover." Wu Baoer said nonchalantly.
Liu Yuhuan smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm thinking about you, Sister Bao'er. After all, no one knows what's in the mist. It's safer to be closer to adults."
Wu Baoer sneered in his heart, knowing that this damn girl couldn't hold it in anymore.
At first, Wu Baoer thought that Liu Yuhuan simply liked Zhao Ya, but it was not until later that she realized that she had been wrong.
This Liu Yuhuan seemed to regard Zhao Ya as something that could relieve his addiction. Every time he saw him, he would try his best to stick to Zhao Ya and suck hard.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Ya annoyed her so much.
Even he himself was implicated.
Thinking of this, Wu Baoer glanced at Zhao Ya in the distance with great resentment.
At this time, the rope was processed, and Zhao Ya also discussed with He Nandou, Yin Jiaxiong and others about various precautions after entering the fog.
Then everyone began to make preparations before setting off, and at the same time tied the rope to their arms.
As the leader this time, Zhao Ya naturally had to stand at the front.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yuhuan immediately dragged Wu Baoer and ran over, and then stood quietly behind Zhao Ya.
He Nandou and others couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene, and then dispersed.
Zhao Ya looked helplessly at Liu Yuhuan, who was taking a deep breath and looking intoxicated, "Why are you here?"
"I'm afraid, so I want to get closer to you, sir!" Liu Yuhuan said without changing his expression and his heart not beating.
Zhao Ya frowned, "I won't have time to care about you after we enter the fog."
"Don't worry, don't worry, Sister Bao'er and I can take care of ourselves." Liu Yuhuan said with a smile.
Zhao Ya had no choice but to let it go.
At this time, everyone was ready, and Zhao Ya walked inside without talking nonsense.
In fact, the reason why Zhao Ya dared to break into the fog first was because with his current consciousness, he could roughly detect the situation in the fog.
It seems that the fog has been weakened a lot after coming here from the Wuwu Sea.
It was precisely with this assurance that Zhao Ya became the leader.
Everyone was moving very fast, and within a moment, everyone entered the mist.
For most people, they didn't actually feel how scary this fog was, and they even felt that Zhao Ya was a little too cautious.
Those who can come here with the team are not ordinary people. Even if they enter the fog, it is impossible to get lost with the warrior's perception, so there is no need for this rope at all.
But the further inside, the thicker the fog becomes.
Soon, no one could even be seen to the left and right in front of him, and there was only a vast white scene.
And it's extremely quiet here, so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat.
It was only then that many people were shocked to realize how extraordinary this fog was and were deeply frightened.
In this case, let alone the warrior's perception, it is better to just follow the rope honestly.
Otherwise, once they get separated, it will be a disaster.
At the same time, many people’s hearts were in their throats.
Because if there is an ambush in such a thick fog, it will inevitably cause a lot of casualties.
But after walking for a while and finding nothing, these people slowly calmed down.
But they didn't know that right at the front of the team, Zhao Ya, who was traveling quickly, suddenly sensed something and slashed him with his sword.
puff!
A gap was cut out of the mist, and then there was a faint scream, but other than that, not even a trace of blood was left.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Liu Yuhuan asked immediately.
"It's nothing, it's probably a monster hiding in the mist trying to sneak up on him." Zhao Ya said calmly, then he flicked the knife in his hand, and the ice covering it fell away.
Although others didn't see it clearly, Zhao Ya relied on his amazing perception and powerful spiritual consciousness to still see the thing lurking in the mist just now.
A vague shape, like a snowman made by an urchin.
This is Zhao Ya's first time coming into contact with such a strange creature.
Although there are alien beasts in the Outer Lands, including Dayan, no matter how powerful the alien beasts are, they are all made of flesh and blood. This is the first time that Zhao Ya has seen such a creature made purely of snow.
However, despite the surprise in his heart, Zhao Ya still did not stop, but instead accelerated his speed. At the same time, the consciousness gained after unlocking his brain spread as much as possible.
Suddenly.
He raised his hand and fired a crossbow.
After several iterations of upgrades, the hand crossbow was much more powerful than before, instantly tearing apart the mist and sliding into the distance.
"Hey!" Zhao Ya said slightly.
Because in his consciousness, although the crossbow hit the target, the opponent did not fall, but sped away.
"Interesting, can it be immune to most physical damage?" Zhao Ya whispered to himself.
But the knife just now should have completely killed the monster.
Because now Zhao Ya's sword skills have reached the limit in this world. Even though it is just an understatement, the powerful sword intention contained in it is enough to destroy any living thing.
