Chapter 31 Death by a Heavy Sword
The caravan rested for a while, ate some dry food and continued on their journey.
Rugged mountain roads, fast travel in the dark night.
I don't know what these people are protecting, and why they are in such a hurry. But Chen Luo doesn't care about these. He is still studying the Jade Book, and he won't leave until he reaches the end of the land. In just a short while, he has let three "brains" comprehend. But except for the royal brain, the others didn't react. It seems that the cultivation of the Jade Book is just as he guessed, and there are innate limitations.
This limitation is most likely spiritual roots!
With the protection of the caravan, Lao Tian, who was driving, was obviously relaxed. He even hummed a song on the way, looking quite comfortable.
"We are just ahead of Yanziling. There is an old forest there. Everyone please be careful."
From the caravan ahead came the voice of Lao Tian’s nephew Tian Daniu.
Hearing the sound, everyone became alert and gripped their weapons tightly. As long as there was any movement, these men would be able to react immediately.
"If it weren't for the caravan's protection, would we be so comfortable?"
Old Tian followed behind, even more proud.
The old forest was dark and silent.
"Sometimes, having more people doesn't necessarily mean safety." Chen Luo, who had been lying motionless in the carriage, sat up at some point.
His voice startled Lao Tian.
However, Chen Luo ignored him and looked at the black old forest in front of him.
After the third level of bone forging, what is improved is not just simple strength, but more all-round.
Just now, he heard the sound of swords colliding in the wind. Although it was slight, he still caught it. As the caravan moved forward, the sound became clearer. Not only that, the smell of blood in the air was getting closer.
There's a fight going on ahead!
Who is the target?
This caravan with mysterious movements?
Chen Luo's thoughts raced as he carefully put the jade book into his arms and kept it close to his body.
"What do you mean?"
Old Tian, who was already timid, began to tremble when he heard these words.
"Be careful yourself."
Chen Luo leaped and disappeared from the team.
The main point of traveling around the world is to be safe. The caravan is too big to hide its presence. It is easy to sneak into the surrounding area. Black is not only a cover color for the enemy, but also for your own side.
Before figuring out the goals of the people ahead, it is safest to hide yourself first.
"Hero?!"
Lao Tian's voice changed. He just looked back and there was no sign of Chen Luo on the ox cart. This made Lao Tian's heart suddenly rise.
"Niu Wa Zi, Niu Wa Zi!!"
At this time, Old Tian no longer cared about his nephew's face and called out Tian Daniu's nickname.
"What's wrong, Uncle Wu?"
Tian Daniu, who was on guard over there, heard Lao Tian's voice and walked over quickly.
During the process, he glanced at the carriage behind him. His heart suddenly jumped when he saw it. Uncle Wu's young guest was gone? Could there be something wrong with this kid?
"There's danger!"
Old Tian was not stupid. He pulled his nephew aside and spoke in a low voice only after making sure that no one was eavesdropping.
"Uncle Wu, have you discovered anything? Could it be your guest?"
Tian Daniu's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the other brothers, and seeing that no one was looking at him, he lowered his voice and asked.
"No, my guest is a master. He just told me that there is danger, and then he hid in the woods." As he spoke, Lao Tian pulled his nephew up and was about to run away together. He had seen Chen Luo's methods on the road before, so he believed Chen Luo's words without a doubt. Because he understood, he couldn't watch his nephew go to die.
"Hurry up and hide with me, and come out after the storm has passed."
"Fifth Uncle!"
Tian Daniu grabbed his uncle's arm.
As the captain of the escort team, he naturally couldn't run away just because of what Lao Tian said, otherwise he wouldn't have to mess around in the future. The most important thing was that he was different from Lao Tian and didn't particularly trust the young man.
"You should only stay if you are in real danger. The caravan has experts to protect you. It's pitch black outside. If you run away, you will lose your advantage and put yourself in danger for nothing."
Tian Daniu's words were well-reasoned and made Old Tian hesitate.
He took a look at the dark woods around him, and fear suddenly set in. The young man was a martial arts master and could hide in the dark, but he was different. Any poisonous snake in the old forest could kill him.
"Stay here for now and wait until we pass the old forest ahead."
After calming down Old Tian, Tian Daniu continued to patrol ahead.
Looking back at the dark woods again, Lao Tian was completely scared. He didn't think it was a big deal before, but now that his nephew reminded him, he felt that it was even more dangerous outside.
dark place.
Chen Luo left the convoy and walked into the woods first.
He must grab the spiritual mine.
This is related to his future path. The best solution is to take action before King Ning's follow-up team arrives. Otherwise, if the large army really arrives, the special mineral deposits will have nothing to do with him.
The Bone Forging Realm is not invincible. The imperial court also has masters of the Bone Forging Realm, and there are quite a few of them. The imperial court also has masters above the Bone Forging Realm. It is almost impossible for an individual to compete with a country at a low level.
Never underestimate the resources of a state apparatus. As the person in charge of the state apparatus, Prince Ning must have a lot of resources at his disposal.
Because of this, Chen Luo needed the spiritual mine even more to break the impasse, and he had always had a guess in his heart.
The mine in Qingya County might be a fairy mine! It is a spiritual mine needed by the immortal cultivators. Only in this way can we explain why King Ning took the risk of assassinating the royal family and slaughtering civilians in the past. When the benefits are sufficient, these people dare to sell their ancestors, let alone just killing a few people.
After walking along the old forest for a while, the road forked.
Chen Luo stopped and observed.
On the left was a dry dirt road, and on the right was a wet waterway, with faint sounds of water. The sound of swords colliding that he had heard earlier came from the right.
'Blood follows the water and wind, to the right.'
Inside the mind, a brain gave suggestions.
The same knowledge, different brains give different feedback. Chen Luo glanced to the left, and finally his figure flashed to the right.
The further we went, the muddier the road became.
Damp water vapor permeated the ground and mixed with the fallen leaves, making slight sounds when stepped on.
After walking for a while, Chen Luo suddenly stopped.
Because he saw a dead body.
The choice was correct. This was where the battle had taken place before. At first he thought it was an ambush targeting the caravan, but now it seemed that it was not the case. It was more like a vendetta between jianghu people. He had seen many such vendettas when he and his uncle were burying corpses.
The first batch of "brains" that helped him make his fortune were provided by these people.
"It's a pity that he died from a heavy sword."
Chen Luo skillfully took out his deerskin gloves and turned the body lying in the mud over. The man looked very thin, and his finger joints were slightly rough. From this point of view, he should be a master of claw skills. However, this guy died miserably. His head was chopped through, and his face was split into two halves, separated from the nose, like a gourd with its head opened, one on the left and one on the right. The white brain matter mixed with the surrounding mud, looking very miserable.
'Contact with dead body, damage 100%, cannot be read.'
This was the first time that Chen Luo saw a brain that was completely unreadable. He guessed that this person was not a strong person when he was alive, otherwise there should be at least 1% left.
