Chapter 143: Ambush and Intelligence
Among the four major families, some are solemn and some are calm.
After the Nott family returned, at the strong request of Nikola, they held a separate family meeting and strongly recommended not to send any more convoys out in the past month.
After all, according to records, the time limit for the arrival of a red-blooded man is usually only one month.
As long as this month passes, the powerful red-blooded man will leave, and by then, the lost business can be slowly recovered.
It is much better than risking a large number of tribesmen being killed and a large loss of goods during this period.
But other senior officials who had not seen Jiang Heng’s strength with their own eyes would naturally disagree with Nikola’s opinion and still decided to act in accordance with the results discussed at the city owners’ meeting.
Deploy extra manpower to transport goods and prepare distress signals. They will be released immediately when in danger. The blue demons who take turns patrolling around the city will immediately go to the rescue.
Under such an arrangement, what kind of threat is a mere red-blooded person?
…
Somewhere outside the city of Roba.
Jiang Heng found a hidden place and sat down cross-legged.
Based on the strength of the demons, he could actually predict that among all the contestants, except for him and Wen Qingxue who had the strength to compete head-on with a team of dozens of people, the others could only slowly attack a small group of demons.
Maybe even escape under the siege of the devil.
Hence, the number of other people’s magic cores cannot be too many.
For Jiang Heng, it is not difficult at all to get into the top five.
Therefore, in his opinion, there is no need to pursue the number of demon cores too much, and there is no point in killing demons everywhere. Instead, it is more important to find ways to obtain more soul crystals.
“Let’s see if Nicola really cooperates!”
Jiang Heng smiled slightly, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice.
At night.
Jiang Heng got up and came to a place outside Luoba City.
In the grass somewhere between three big trees, I rummaged around for a while, and after a while, I found a piece of brown paper-like object under a stone.
Looks very thin, but feels incredibly tough.
There is some text written on the paper, which is some information about another family's motorcade tomorrow.
For example, how many people are escorting, how many blue demons are there, departure time, the most likely routes, etc., as well as the response plan discussed and decided at the city lord's palace meeting yesterday.
It can be said to be extremely detailed.
Jiang Heng couldn't help but laugh.
“Is it possible to betray the race so decisively and thoroughly?”
Of course he would not trust the other party easily, but he was confident and not worried about being ambushed, so he wrote down the information and rubbed his hands together.
The tough kraft paper turned into powder and flew away.
Jiang Heng turned around and returned to the hiding spot, and continued to sit down and practice. His body seemed to turn into a black hole, swallowing up the energy in the surrounding void.
The air moved and roared, like the sound of ghosts crying.
Early the next morning.
A large motorcade set off from Luoba City, escorted by a hundred red demons and two blue demons, heading towards the west of the city.
Jiang Heng went around Luoba City to explore far away, and sure enough he found this convoy on one of the routes mentioned in the intelligence.
“Sure enough, Nikola’s information, at least the time and route are accurate.”
He looked around again and observed carefully.
According to Nikola’s information.
The high -level senior executives of Roba City were discussed in the main government's government. Although they questioned Jiang Heng's strength, they had no idea strategically.
In addition to one more blue demon in the convoy, there is another blue demon following quietly in the distance.
It’s not that we don’t want to send more, but there are already very few blue demons, and each of them is a big shot in Luoba City. With the negotiation of the four major families, it is extremely rare to be able to send three together.
“Three Blue Demons?”
Jiang Heng pondered slightly, but still did not give up his intention to rob and kill.
In yesterday's battle, a group of red demons released soul ripples at the same time. He was quite afraid of the indiscriminate and lightning-fast large-scale attacks.
But as long as you are prepared, this trick can actually be avoided.
As for the three blue demons, he really paid great attention to them.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Heng followed all the way, but never found the blue demon who was following quietly, so he had to give up.
In the convoy.
Surrounded by hundreds of red demons, two blue demons sat high on the horse beast, their eyes scanning around from time to time.
“Elder Harper, do you think what Nicola said is true?”
One of the blue demons asked casually.
Another blue demon named Harper responded calmly: "Elder Git, the things about the red-blooded people should not be false. After all, the magic cores in the heads of those corpses are gone, which is very similar to what the red-blooded people did. What you did.”
"As for whether the red-blooded man is that strong, we can only see whether he can meet him or not."
Just as he was speaking, a rough voice sounded from among the alert red demons beside him: "The red-blooded man is here! Behind him!"
Everyone turned their heads and immediately saw Jiang Heng coming through the air quickly.
“Stop, be on guard!”
Elder Harper suddenly shouted loudly.
The convoy stopped, and all the demons held short spears and were on alert.
With a thought, Elder Harper flew out of his mind with a translucent short blade, slashing towards Jiang Heng who was approaching rapidly like lightning.
As blue demons, they not only have stronger attack power, but also have a much farther attack range than ordinary red demons.
This short soul blade flashed in the air, almost instantly arrived in front of Jiang Heng, and was about to shoot into his mind.
But Jiang Heng's movement skills were too powerful. At this critical moment, he suddenly flashed and appeared dozens of meters away.
on the ground.
While Elder Harper attacked, Elder Gitte watched intently.
When he saw Jiang Heng's body dodge and dodge the short soul blade, he immediately thought about it, and the same translucent short soul blade flew out.
Similarly like lightning, it flew hundreds of meters in an instant.
But Jiang Heng dodged again and dodged it perfectly again.
The two blue demons changed their colors at the same time.
“Everyone, soul ripples!”
"Prepare!"
Everyone was waiting attentively for Jiang Heng to continue approaching, and the last slogan of the two blue demons came to their lips.
Mid-air.
Jiang Heng seemed unaware and approached the demons like a stream of light.
"put!"
As a loud shout rang out, nearly a hundred translucent ripples spread in the air.
Nearly a hundred ripples stacked up to form a huge wave that struck indiscriminately in all directions.
This is a move that kills one thousand enemies and damages oneself eight hundred.
The battle is about who can carry it better.
The first ones to bear the brunt were all the red demons, who groaned in pain unconsciously, fell into confusion for an instant, and fell to the ground.
The two blue demons were equally uncomfortable.
Under such soul ripples, which can be called waves, I felt a sharp pain in my mind, but at least I did not lose consciousness.
