Chapter 431 Parasitism
The next section of the journey was very peaceful. These snow monsters seemed to be frightened by Zhao Ya's methods and no longer dared to carry out sneak attacks.
The team continued to move forward. Although the fog was still thick, people's hanging hearts gradually relaxed.
Although he couldn't see the road ahead clearly, he was still walking steadily with the help of the rope, so some big-hearted people started talking and laughing.
Zhao Ya didn't stop him because it was a way to relieve stress.
At the end of the team, Jia Jing looked around nervously.
As a small leader in Chilong Mountain, he was cautious by nature, but despite all his reluctance, he was still forced to come here by the general trend.
There was no way, who could have made the mountain owner of Chilong Mountain rely on the high mountain and dangerous road to try to fight against Canglong Temple, but was taught by Shen Yunshen to be a human being.
Now that he was guilty, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the team into the fog.
To be on the safe side, he managed to get to the end of the queue.
Despite this, he was still a little uneasy, and naturally he was not in the mood to talk and laugh with other people, but was concentrating on observing the surrounding situation.
Unlike his cautiousness, the warrior behind him didn't care. Not only did he talk loudly and laugh with others, he even talked to him several times.
It's just that Jia Jing was not in the mood to chat at this time, so he prevaricates.
Seeing that he didn't want to pay attention to him, the warrior began to talk nonsense to the people behind him.
"Damn, you actually made so much trouble. I want to see what the black ship looks like later."
Jia Jing frowned slightly after hearing this, deeply regretting that he should not have been lined up with this guy.
But now it was no longer possible to change positions, so he could only patiently turn his head and said to the man.
"Shh, keep your voice down. You know what's in the mist. If something ambushes you, wouldn't you expose your target by shouting like this?"
"Tch, you are as timid as a mouse. To tell you the truth, Grandpa, I am not afraid of sneak attacks. If you have the ability, let them come. Let's see if I, Hu Dalong, can crush them!" The man said with disdain.
Even though the two were so close, they still couldn't see each other's faces clearly.
Jia Jing could only vaguely see the figure of this man, who should be at least a head taller than himself.
If he had met such a person in the past, Jia Jing would have chosen to shrink back and remain silent.
But it's different now. Now everyone is tied to a rope. If this guy causes trouble, he who is in front of him won't be able to escape.
So Jia Jing said patiently: "Brother, I know that talented people are bold, but now everyone is on the same rope. If you make such a noise, once you cause trouble, even others will be implicated by you." .”
"If you don't like it, then change your position!" The man sneered.
Jia Jing was also aroused at this time and was about to speak.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a huge pulling force from the back end of the rope, almost pulling him to the ground.
The anger in his heart suddenly rushed to his forehead, thinking that it must be the guy behind him who was deliberately causing trouble.
But just when he was about to turn around and teach this guy a lesson, he suddenly heard a very strange sound.
It was a dying gasp coming from the throat, and it was also accompanied by the sound of skin, flesh and tendons being torn apart.
These sounds were very subtle, and most people wouldn't notice them at all, but Jia Jing had excellent ears, so he naturally heard something strange.
not good!
Something is wrong!
This thought flashed through Jia Jing's mind for an instant, and then he felt the hairs all over his body stand up.
If the person behind him was hit, wouldn't he be almost done?
Thinking of this, his strong desire to survive made him shout instantly.
"Someone is coming!"
Almost at the same time as he shouted, a figure suddenly jumped out of the fog and set off a huge wave of wind, which directly dispersed the surrounding fog.
Immediately afterwards, this figure rushed to the warrior, then raised his hand and struck with a knife.
puff!
The blood was particularly dazzling against the mist, which made Jia Jing swallow the next words directly.
Then the warrior fell to the ground. Although his body struggled endlessly, he could not get up.
It turned out that the knife just cut off the man's limbs and muscles.
At this time, Jia Jing also saw clearly the figure rushing forward, and his expression suddenly became very respectful.
Because the person who came was none other than Zhao Ya.
People like Jia Jing can only look up to this young genius who is still young but has already reached the top position in the land of Huawai.
Zhao Ya knelt down and observed the struggling warrior on the ground.
The knife just used was very skillful, it only cut off the man's limbs and tendons, but did not damage his vitals.
Just to see what’s going on with this guy!
And the scenes we saw were quite shocking.
I saw this tall warrior, his face and facial features were completely distorted, his eyes were filled with inhuman brilliance, and he was staring at Zhao Ya, making hoho sounds from time to time.
That meant that he wanted to eat Zhao Ya alive.
But Zhao Ya was not afraid at all. Instead, he stretched out his short knife and fiddled with the wounds on the man's limbs.
At this moment, He Nandou, Shangguan Jianmei, Yin Jiaxiong and others also arrived.
And when they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"What's going on?" He Nandou asked.
Zhao Ya said lightly: "I suddenly noticed something was wrong in the front. When I rushed over, I found that this man had a strange aura all over his body, so I cut him to the ground with a knife."
"Then I discovered that this person seemed to be parasitized by something!"
"Parasite?" He Nandou and others were all shocked.
Zhao Ya nodded, then looked at Jia Jing aside, "You should have witnessed the whole process just now, so tell me what happened!"
Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, then realized that Zhao Ya was asking him, so he stammered.
"Yes...that's what happened..."
Then Jia Jing narrated what happened, and everyone looked solemn after listening to it.
Because if things are really as this person said, then this warrior was obviously fine just now, so why did he suddenly become like this?
The mist that had just been forcibly dispersed by Zhao Ya was slowly falling back. At this moment, the warrior on the ground suddenly trembled violently, and at the same time, white stuff like noodles began to overflow from his mouth and nose.
In the blink of an eye, the warrior died.
These long white strips were still alive when they first came out, but after struggling for a few times they turned gray and became immobile.
Zhao Ya flicked it with a short knife, and these gray things immediately dispersed into powder and disappeared.
"What on earth is this?" Shangguan Jianmei, a woman, was obviously disgusted with this maggot-like thing. She couldn't help but ask after taking two steps back.
Zhao Ya breathed out lightly, "It should be the Snow Demon!"
"Snow demon?"
Everyone present was shocked.
Zhao Ya nodded, and then recounted the situation he encountered at the front of the team.
He Nandou couldn't help but said solemnly when he heard this: "No wonder I always felt like something was peeping in the fog just now. It turned out to be this kind of thing."
"But how can snow gather to become a demon?" Shangguan Jianmei murmured with disbelief on her face.
As a top warrior in the land of transformation, Shangguan Jianmei has seen all kinds of strange beasts, but she has never heard of this snow demon.
"Since the black ship appeared, many things can no longer be viewed with the same eyes as before." Zhao Ya explained casually, and then said in a deep voice.
"Let's go, let's get out of this fog first."
Everyone had no opinion and left one after another.
And just when Zhao Ya was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "What's your name?"
Jia Jing hurriedly responded: "Jia Jing, I am a small leader in Chilong Mountain."
Zhao Ya nodded and left without saying anything.
After he left, Jia Jing thought excitedly.
Although I don’t know why the Master of Zhaoya Zhao Temple suddenly asked his name, it is obviously a good thing to be remembered by him.
This little storm passed like this.
Many people had no idea what was happening. They only felt that the team stopped for a while and then continued to move forward.
What Zhao Ya was worried about, that someone in the team was "parasitized" again did not happen in the end.
The team got out of the fog smoothly, and then saw a huge snowfield in front of them.
The boundless white snow extends to the sky, and only some ups and downs can be seen vaguely. Other than that, all the ravines and trees are covered by heavy snow.
The dark sky, without a trace of light, was like a cauldron weighing on everyone's heads, making people feel even more depressed.
Many people in the team came to the northern snowfield for the first time, and they couldn't help but be very curious.
After all, many people know the name of Wuwanghai, and even the snowfield in the north is also famous.
According to rumors, although the climate in this northern snowfield is harsh, the scenery is excellent. However, when they saw the lifeless scene in front of them, these people were all disappointed.
Because this snowfield is not as beautiful and white as imagined, but is instead cold and depressing, like a white hell.
"Let's go!" After Zhao Ya identified the person below, he immediately led the team and continued heading deeper into the snowfield.
Just when Zhao Ya and others were stepping out of the fog and on their way, Jing Rou and Liang Xin'an had already returned to the camp with the caravan.
It's strange to say that when I went there, I either encountered wind, snow, or snow monsters, but when I came back, everything went smoothly.
In addition, I gained experience, so it took me two full days to walk here, but it only took about half a day to go back.
And when the caravan appeared in the camp carrying a large amount of supplies, the entire camp was boiling.
Kong Xiangdong and Huang Liang came to greet him in person. When they saw Shopkeeper Li, Kong Xiangdong couldn't help but smile.
"Shopkeeper Li is indeed a businessman who keeps his promises. Even in such a bad situation, he still insists on delivering the goods. It is really admirable."
Shopkeeper Li laughed and said, "There is no way. Since you are eating this bowl of rice, you must live up to your responsibilities. Check it quickly to see if there are any defects."
"What else are you counting? It's a surprise to receive the goods. Please come and sit in the tent. The food and wine have been prepared for a long time."
"Hey, rules are rules and favors are favors. It's better to take stock!" Shopkeeper Li insisted.
In desperation, Kong Xiangdong had no choice but to order people to inventory the supplies.
Liang Xin'an looked on with some doubts in her heart.
Could it be that I am really overthinking it?
After all, shopkeeper Li seems to be normal at this time.
Soon, the inventory of materials was completed, and after the delivery was completed, shopkeeper Li followed Kong Xiangdong to the tent to drink.
There were many people going together, but Liang Xin'an did not go.
He excused himself as a little tired and wanted to rest first, and then returned to his tent.
But after the noise outside gradually disappeared, Liang Xin'an quietly walked out of the tent and came to the caravan's station.
At this time, the guys in these caravans were also drinking and eating, and talking and laughing loudly.
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing unusual, but Liang Xin'an became more and more confused.
Because he still can't forget the panic-stricken silence of everyone when the caravan broke camp and set off.
Why did you go out of your way and start talking and laughing loudly after you got here?
And while Liang Xin'an was observing the caravan guys outside their station, a faint voice suddenly came from behind.
"Brother Liang, what are you looking at here?"
Liang Xin'an stiffened, turned around, and found that the caravan's guard leader, Jiang Qian, was standing not far away, looking at her.
Someone caught him peeping, even Liang Xin'an and Lao Jianghu felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh, I came over to see what's there..."
"Brother Liang, since you are so free, why not come and have a drink with me? I just want to ask you something." Jiang Qian suddenly interrupted Liang Xin'an and said with a smile.
Maybe it was because he didn't usually smile at all, so the smile on Jiang Qian's face was very stiff at this moment.
But Liang Xin'an didn't pay attention to this. His attention was attracted by this invitation.
He was worried that he wouldn't have a chance to get close to these people, so he immediately nodded and agreed upon hearing this.
"Okay, then I'm going to have two drinks."
Jiang Qian let Liang Xin'an into the station, and then came to a tent.
The moment he entered the tent, Liang Xin'an suddenly felt an indescribable coldness.
"These guys are so busy drinking that they even forgot to light the fire for me!" Jiang Qian cursed, and then hurriedly lit the stove.
Soon, the temperature in the tent rose again.
After the food and wine were placed, Jiang Qian and Liang Xin'an sat opposite each other, and then began to push cups and change cups.
After a long time, several jars of wine were consumed, but the two of them were not drunk at all. On the contrary, the more they drank, the more sober they became.
At this moment, Jiang Qian filled Liang Xin'an's glass with wine, then picked up the glass and said, "Brother Liang seems to have always been biased against us?"
"That's not true, I just feel a little weird."
Now that he has asked this question, Liang Xin'an naturally didn't shy away from it and said it straightforwardly.
"What's weird?"
"There are a lot of things that are a little strange, but the most important thing is why you insisted on sending this shipment."
"Don't talk to me about the reputation of a businessman. Shopkeeper Li may have this awareness, but why do these ordinary guys not even have the slightest dissatisfaction and carry out the plan unconditionally?"
You must know that even an elite division that has experienced hundreds of battles is difficult to accept death, let alone a caravan.
Jiang Qian was silent, and after a long time he nodded, "That's indeed a good question."
"So what is your purpose?" Liang Xin'an asked again.
Jiang Qian smiled slightly and gently turned the wine glass in front of him, "If I said that our purpose is to kill you, would you believe it?"
