Su Rui had confirmed with the waiter in the town that his current location was roughly northeast of Yunnan-Guizhou Road. As long as he walked northwest, he could enter the southwest road and reach Tongqu County.
The caravan that Su Rui followed was heading to the southwest.
The main reason is that Su Rui has a poor sense of direction, so he doesn't have to worry about the direction if he follows others.
Another reason was that after Su Rui was abducted by Taoist Qiao San, he was somewhat detached from the world during the few months he spent in Heshan, which made Su Rui instinctively want to return to the hustle and bustle of the human world.
The owner of the caravan was a big man with a beard, nine feet tall and very strong. He had a guard team of dozens of people under him, all of whom were tall, middle-aged and young men.
After Su Rui followed the caravan out of the town, the caravan owner named Qiu Jiu came over with a guard to inquire about the situation. After discovering that Su Rui and his partner were just a young couple, he told him that there were many strong men and wild beasts on the road and asked him to follow closely.
Normal strangers wouldn't tell him this; this guy was already kindhearted. Anyone who wanted to join the caravan or rely on its protection would have to pay the caravan some money, but this guy didn't mention it at all.
Su Rui actually appreciated the caravan owner's kindness and expressed his gratitude for his instructions very solemnly.
Besides Su Rui, there were other carriages following behind the caravan. The caravan owner approached each one and asked them all questions. After confirming that there was no danger, the caravan slowly set off.
Su Rui sat on the shaft of the cart, gently hit the donkey's butt, and followed the team into the mountains.
After all, we are taking the usual trade routes, so the road conditions are not complicated.
There are many wild animals in the mountains, and the chirping of birds can be heard in his ears. Su Rui relaxed and the two hardworking old donkeys walked along familiarly without him having to drive them away, which gave Su Rui a chance to relax.
But now it is winter, and although there is some sunshine, the wind is strong in the mountains and it is a bit cold.
Although Su Rui had transformed his Tongbi Divine Ape body into a human form, even in human form, he was not afraid of the severe cold due to his abundant yang energy. This was even more true of the Red Dragon, a powerful fire-attributed demon that wouldn't necessarily feel cold even if it fell into an ice cave.
However, in order to not be so conspicuous, the two of them still dressed like buns.
Many animals have gone into hibernation, but there are still many animals that hunt in winter.
As soon as the caravan entered the mountains, it was targeted by a group of wild wolves.
Su Rui had sensed it long ago, but he didn't take it seriously. If he wanted to, he could send Thunder Scale out and kill a hundred or so of these small animals in just three or five breaths.
He wanted to see how the caravan members dealt with the wild wolves.
He saw that the caravan had sent several agile guards to investigate the situation in the direction of the wolf's howl.
Moreover, the caravan's speed suddenly increased a lot, probably because they wanted to pass this mountain road as quickly as possible to avoid the attacks of the wolves.
However, what you fear will come true. The guards who went out to investigate soon came back with a solemn look.
Soon, the caravan changed its strategy of advancing at full speed, found a position backed by a mountain valley, and began to defend itself.
The caravan owner, Qiu Jiu, appeared in front of Su Rui again. "Young Master Su, we've been targeted by a pack of wolves. Do you want to join my caravan and help defend against them?"
Su Rui nodded silently, clasped his fists and replied, "Okay! Thank you, Brother Qiu!"
Seeing that he agreed, Qiu Jiu returned the gesture with a fist bump and walked towards the next carriage following the caravan to continue joining them in fighting the wolves.
Su Rui drove his donkey cart to the caravan's defensive circle. An old guard immediately arranged for him to stay in the inner circle and handed him a bow and ten arrows. He asked, "Young master, can you shoot arrows? If so, use your bow and arrows to kill the wolves in the inner defensive circle!"
Su Rui didn't know how to use a bow and arrow, but he was very curious about the bows and arrows of this era, so he nodded, pretended to know how to use it, and took the bow and arrow handed to him by the old guard.
He tried it casually and found that he could easily pull out a full moon.
He had practiced the "Golden Bell Cover" before, but now the Golden Bell Cover is no longer there. However, how can this human body transformed by the Tongbi Divine Ape be compared with the Golden Bell Cover, a human martial art!
Su Rui put on a wooden arrow inlaid with a sharp iron head, took a look at the sky, and found a big bird flying by, so he shot an arrow.
The big bird was at least 150 feet away from Su Rui, and it fell to the ground immediately.
This scene happened to be seen by the old guard nearby, who was immediately shocked and called Su Rui a master.
Su Rui smiled shyly and did not argue.
At this distance, he could use his hidden weapon skills and pebbles to knock down birds. So, in his opinion, this was not a difficult task.
However, being able to receive praise from others really makes him feel happy!
At this moment, a young man in white clothes walked slowly towards them with a long sword in his arms.
It seemed that Qiu Jiu had pulled him over from the carriage behind to help.
The old guard hurried forward, fawningly saying, "Young Master, you're here too! I feel at ease with you around. Will you take action this time?"
"Well, I won't take action!" The young man nodded and responded politely.
The old guard actually smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, these wild wolves are not worth your effort!"
The young man nodded and gave the old guard a smile without responding.
Then he walked towards Su Rui.
Su Rui looked at the young man coming towards him and was extremely curious about his identity. Who on earth was this person who could make this old guard bow down to him? He must be so powerful!
However, Su Rui could sense that this young man was not a cultivator, but a famous swordsman!
The young man walked past Su Rui, bringing with him a strange fragrance.
I don't know what kind of sachet this guy is using, it's quite strange.
The young man walked into the caravan's protective circle and leaned against a loaded carriage.
Su Rui looked confused and thought to himself, "Is this the style of a master?"
The old guard came back again, and Su Rui whispered in his ear, "Where did this expert come from?"
"The young master of the Divine Sword Villa, a master on the Heavenly Ranking!" The old guard lowered his voice and spoke proudly into Su Rui's ear.
Su Rui suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard in the restaurant in Tongqu County. He seemed to remember that there was a mention of the young master of Shenjian Villa. He had forgotten his last name, but he heard that he killed a group of ruthless bandits as soon as he came out of the mountain. Later, he challenged a master of the Earth List, and the other party voluntarily admitted defeat. However, Su Rui did not expect to meet him here after many days.
Su Rui was quite curious about him. This guy looked polite, but he looked like he didn't want to be approached by strangers. Even his three punches didn't make a dull sound. Su Rui didn't want to go over and get rejected, so he stopped paying attention to him.
Woohoo…
A wolf howled.
Su Rui saw from afar a group of wild wolves lined up in a row, forming a semi-encirclement, and trotting towards him with ferocious looks on their faces.
