Chapter 1469: Supernatural Observation
Everyone had come here with great difficulty, so Shao Yunduan wouldn't want to do too much and prevent them from making a little fortune.
However, with so many supplies and difficult roads, we had to send people with machetes to clear the way in many places, and move forward while clearing the way. This slowed down the process even more.
The only thing to be thankful for is that most of the terrain is flat, and even if there are occasional small ups and downs, the carriage can still pass through, but it is just a little more difficult.
Taking all these factors into consideration, although this stretch of road is only a few dozen miles long, it would take a whole day to get through it smoothly, even if you rush and race against time.
We all have experience, and we made up our minds early this morning to work hard towards the goal of getting out of the Black Tiger Forest before the sun sets.
Until noon, when everyone stopped to eat some dry food and drink some water, everything was safe and smooth.
Qiao Xuan silently released her special powers, extending them in all directions. Soon, she found the ambushed people on a rocky slope about six or seven miles ahead.
Qiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. She roughly counted them and found that there were about forty or fifty people on the other side. They were wearing tight dark blue clothes and leggings. They had wolf-like eyes and were extremely elite. It was obvious at first glance that they were ruthless and good at fighting.
Although those people looked unkempt and dressed like mountain bandits, their eyes were sharp when they were in ambush, no one moved or talked too much, and there was no sound from so many people. This was definitely not something that those unruly bandits who could not bear to be bound by rules could do.
Even if these people were not sent by the Fourth Prince, they must be related to him.
After not hearing any movement from them for a long time, Qiao Xuan quietly withdrew her supernatural power.
This kind of carpet search using supernatural powers to gather information is extremely exhausting. Qiao Xuan cannot sustain it for too long each time. The larger the search area, the shorter the duration.
But now, she had to conserve her strength. She couldn't waste it as she would have an opportunity to do something when the two sides came up against each other.
The team continued to move forward at a relatively slow pace. The road conditions were such that they couldn't go faster even if they wanted to.
Gradually, there was a rocky slope ahead.
The rocky slope was full of strange rocks, and the slopes on both sides were much higher than other places. Their team was going to pass through the road in the middle.
This section is about four or five kilometers.
There were also wild grass and vines spreading everywhere. The road in the middle, which could barely be discerned, had to be cut down and the vines removed before the carriage could pass.
One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters... When there were about three hundred meters left before the enemy's ambush circle, Qiao Xuan activated her special ability, and several tree roots high up on the rocky slope suddenly expanded violently, squeezing out the large rocks. The large rocks and rubble broke out of the ground and rolled down the slope with a crash.
She then used her special powers to shake the branches violently, making a rustling sound. The birds perched on the branches were startled and flew away with screams. It was a very lively scene!
Such a sudden abnormal situation naturally frightened the marching team.
As soon as Sun Bai raised his hand, the entire team stopped immediately.
"Everyone, be on guard! Form a formation and protect the master and the lady!"
They had been told many times what to do in dangerous situations, so even though there were many people and horses, the guards managed to stabilize the situation from the beginning, and the other followers quickly recovered from their panic. Everyone drove the carriages and tried to gather together. Several people worked with the coachmen to guard the horses, tighten the reins, and block the horses' ears to prevent the horses from getting scared and running around.
I can sleep in again on the weekend, happy weekend!
