"Oh no, it's a wind beast!"
Hearing the roar of a beast coming from afar, the armored man's face changed slightly.
"How come wind beasts appeared just after we entered the Wind Plains? Don't they usually hide deep in the plains?"
A middle-aged man next to the armored man also had an ugly expression.
The path they chose was carefully chosen.
Following the usual route, generally speaking, most of the wind beast nests can be avoided.
But this time, how come the wind beast appeared nearby so quickly?
The armored man and others felt a little uneasy.
The abnormal appearance of wind beasts made them feel that some changes might have occurred in the Gale Plain that they were not aware of.
But even if they wanted to return, it was too late.
The convoy was moving slowly, and with the speed of the wind beasts, it was easy to catch up with them.
The winds around us were getting stronger and stronger, and the sandstorms were getting bigger and bigger, making it almost impossible to see what was happening ahead.
The armored man had no choice but to grit his teeth and use a lamp-shaped magic weapon.
The next moment, powerful energy surged out from the magic weapon, and a shield of light emanated, covering the entire convoy.
This light shield not only has strong defensive power, but can also disperse wind and sand.
The crowd that had been blown to and fro by the strong wind, as well as the carriage that was almost overturned, were stabilized at once.
"Everyone, please be careful. There is a high possibility that wind beasts will attack us soon. You should all be prepared for defense.
And don't leave the range of my wind lantern, otherwise, if you get lost, we won't risk rescuing you! ”
Because the wind was so loud, the armored man shouted directly through telepathy.
"This big guy is responsible."
Lu Qing, who was sitting in the corner of the carriage, had a strange look in his eyes when he heard the words of the armored man.
Although the small caravans behind had paid protection fees to the shipping company.
But the current situation is obviously quite critical.
The armored man was not afraid to waste his magic power and use his magic weapon to protect everyone, which shows that he is very responsible.
"However, the current situation is obviously not good."
Lu Qing sensed it slightly and shook his head slightly.
His cultivation is much more powerful than anyone else here.
I had already noticed what was happening ahead.
"My dear friend, have you found anything wrong?"
At this time, a voice sounded beside Lu Qing.
Lu Qing paused for a moment, thinking to himself, what an old fox! He really can't let his guard down at all.
Seeing the other people in the carriage, they all looked over.
Lu Qing showed an embarrassed look: "Father, you are joking. I am just worried. The gale in this Windy Continent is really strong. I don't know if we can get out safely."
"So that's what you're worried about." Old Man Qiao said with a smile, "You can rest assured, the shipping company often crosses the Windy Plains and has a lot of experience.
Otherwise, these small caravans would not be willing to pay large sums of spirit stones and ask them to lead the way. ”
"Humph, you cowardly brat!" The skinny young man suddenly snorted coldly, saying disdainfully, "It's just a small Windy Valley, what's there to be afraid of!
If you are afraid, I advise you to turn back now before you go too deep! ”
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I also passed through this Windy Plain once last time with a shipping company. It was safe and sound, and nothing happened at that time."
At this time, a woman in red also laughed.
"So that's how it is. I feel relieved then." Lu Qing said somewhat "embarrassed".
"Since this shipping company has been able to do business in the Windy Plains, it must have its strengths. You don't have to worry..."
However, before the woman in red could finish her words, a scream interrupted her the next moment.
The scream was extremely shrill, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.
Then, a panicked cry came from outside.
"What happened?"
Everyone in the carriage was startled and jumped out.
As soon as they came outside, they saw a shocking scene.
In the convoy at the rear, there was a guard from a small merchant caravan who had reached the great success of the foundation-building stage.
He was being torn apart by a monster. His lower body had disappeared, leaving only his upper body in the monster's mouth, struggling and screaming desperately.
Its location is already outside the range of the light.
The guard kept screaming, but no matter how he struggled, it was of no use. His cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage was useless.
In the blink of an eye, he was swallowed by the monster and his screams stopped abruptly.
Just then, a spear flew over and stabbed the monster in the forehead.
The monster only let out a scream, then turned into a whirlwind of yellow sand and fled away.
Only the magic spear was left in place.
"It's a wind beast!"
When Old Man Qiao saw this scene, he looked a little serious.
He had felt that something seemed to be wrong with this trip, and now it had come true.
As for the woman in red, her expression was even uglier.
She had just said that it was safe to follow the shipping company, but in the blink of an eye, someone was killed tragically by the wind beast.
This was clearly a slap in her face.
"Is this the wind beast?" Lu Qing's heart moved.
Although the monster just now devoured living beings, it was able to turn into wind and sand and escape.
It also seems to be able to blend in with the surrounding strong winds and conceal its own aura.
This is also the reason why the Jindan realm people in the carriage just now did not sense its appearance in advance.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to leave the area covered by the magic lamp?"
A large man in armor, riding a scale-armored BMW, came running from the front of the convoy.
The spear magic weapon on the ground suddenly flew up and fell into his hands.
It turned out that he was the one who drove away the monster just now.
"No, it's not that we left the coverage of the magic lamp. It's that the monster suddenly rushed in and took Old Wu away!"
At this time, a middle-aged man stammered in response.
"How is that possible?" The armored man couldn't believe it. "To break through the protective light of my Dingfeng Lantern, you must have at least the first level of Jindan cultivation.
We have only been in the Gale Plains for a short time, how could a Jindan-level wind beast appear so soon? ”
"I, what I said is true. So many people saw it with their own eyes!"
The middle-aged man continued.
When the armored man saw the expressions on everyone's faces, he immediately knew that what the middle-aged man said was true.
But just like that, his heart sank again.
What happened today was too unusual.
Not only did the wind beast appear on the edge of the Gale Plain so quickly, but it was also at the Jindan level.
In the past, wind beasts of this level would only stay in a few specific areas deep in the Gale Plains and rarely go out.
Could it be that something unexpected happened inside the Gale Plains?
The more the armored man thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
After struggling for a while, he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly through his soul:
"Something might have happened in the Windy Plains. It's no longer suitable to go forward. Let's turn back immediately and retreat to the valley first!"
However, his words caused an uproar in the small caravan behind him.
"Return it? Are you kidding? I have an agreement with the financier that the goods must be delivered to him in five days!"
"This batch of spiritual medicine in my hand must be delivered to Danxin Sect within seven days!"
"Yes, we paid the spirit stones, how can we just return them?"
"If the transaction is delayed, will your shipping company compensate us for the lost spiritual stones?"
"You guys who paid the spirit stones promised to lead us out of the Windy Plains!"
"Isn't it said that the shipping company values credibility the most? You are going back on your word!"
Many of the leaders of the small caravans became excited.
Some of them have goods that need to be delivered to customers urgently.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked walking on this windy plain.
As a result, now that the spirit stones have been handed over, the armored man said he wanted to go back. How could they be willing to accept this?
If the delivery is delayed, they will have to pay compensation according to the contract!
Of course, there were also some caravans that were not so pressed for time and did not object.
The horror of the monster just now really frightened them.
This Gale Plain is so dangerous, it would be great if we could retreat.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Hearing that these small caravans dared to complain, the armored man's eyes became fierce and he shouted loudly.
The shock of the spiritual power made the leaders of the shouting small caravans all turn pale.
Those with weaker cultivation even vomited blood and were seriously injured.
"You should understand your position!"
The armored man met the horrified gazes of the small caravans with a stern look on his face.
"You were the one who begged our shipping company to take you this way.
Before we set off, I told you that everything needs to be done by me.
Since you are all unwilling to go back, then just move forward on your own!
Don't blame me for not warning you when you die in this Windy Plain!
These are the spirit stones you paid. Take them immediately and get out! ”
After saying that, the armored man threw out seven or eight cloth bags, which landed in front of the small caravans that had been making the most noise earlier.
He turned and walked to the front of the convoy, preparing to lead his men back to the valley.
"Sir, we have no intention of offending you. Please give us a chance..."
Seeing that the armored man actually left, one of the leaders of the small caravan suddenly became anxious and shouted.
However, before he could catch up, the swirling sand and wind around him suddenly condensed.
It transformed into a huge monster, then stretched out its claws and directly broke through the defense of the magic lamp.
They grabbed the shouting caravan leader and several people around him and dragged them out.
This sudden change scared everyone.
"I'm waiting for you!"
Seeing that those people were about to be captured by the monster, the armored man who was about to walk away suddenly turned around and used his spear magic weapon.
The next moment, precious light bloomed and the powerful power of the magic weapon burst out.
The monster's arm was immediately pierced by the spear magic weapon, half of the arm exploded, and sand and dust filled the sky.
However, the monster seemed to have no sense of pain.
Even though half of his arm was blown off, his grip on those men did not loosen.
Finally, amidst the screams, he grabbed those people and shrank into the endless wind and sand, quickly moving away.
“Damn it!”
The armored man saw that he had charged up his strength to attack but still failed to save those people, and his face immediately turned grim.
Wind beasts are so difficult to deal with, although their attack capabilities are much weaker than other demon beasts and spirit beasts of the same level.
However, they have a unique ability to transform themselves into wind and sand, making them extremely difficult to kill.
This is also the reason why he was unwilling to get entangled with these wind beasts and wanted to retreat back to the valley.
If it was just a wind beast in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would still have a way to kill it.
However, the difficulty of dealing with wind beasts in the Jindan realm is greatly increased.
Even if he had the strength of a fifth-level Golden Core, it would be difficult for him to kill a second- or third-level wind beast in a short period of time.
“As you can see, a big change has occurred in the Windy Plains today.
Even in this marginal area, there are wind beasts in the Jindan realm.
If you are not afraid of death, just keep going. We, the shipping company, will not accompany you. ”
After the armored man finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the people who were already frightened out of their wits, and turned around and walked forward.
This time, he really left.
Soon, the carrier's convoy began to turn around and return in the direction they came.
This time, the small caravans that were shouting before no longer dared to speak.
They all followed the shipping company closely, fearing that they would really be abandoned.
After seeing the miserable plight of those people before, they also came to their senses.
No matter how important business is, it is not as important as your own life.
Without the protection of the shipping company, they probably wouldn't survive for a quarter of an hour in this windy plain.
"What do you think? Do you want to retreat back to the valley with us?"
Old man Qiao held the two children and asked Lu Qing and others.
"Humph, they are just a few small wind beasts, there is nothing to be afraid of, I don't have time to waste with these rubbish.
Since you don’t dare to move forward, I’ll just leave alone! ”
Before anyone else could answer, the thin young man snorted coldly.
Then he used his body skills to break through the light of the wind-fixing lamp and rushed into the endless wind and sand.
As soon as he rushed out, wind and sand gathered and a monster appeared again.
The huge claws grabbed towards the thin young man.
“Get lost!”
However, the thin young man shouted coldly and summoned a flying sword.
Under the sword light, the wind beast was actually cut into pieces and collapsed with a loud bang.
After defeating the wind beast, the thin young man did not even look back, and his figure disappeared in the endless wind and sand, never to be seen again.
"This person is actually a sword cultivator! No wonder he is so arrogant!"
The woman in red was shocked when she saw this scene.
Sword cultivators have always been known for their offensive power.
Powerful sword cultivators can often unleash incredible strength, and fighting against opponents of higher levels is commonplace.
No wonder this skinny young man has been acting so arrogant and domineering these days.
It turns out that he is a rare swordsman!
"Miss Hongyan, what about you?" Old Man Qiao asked again.
"I have some urgent things to do and cannot delay here. Mr. Qiao, I'll take my leave now."
The woman in red smiled sweetly, but she turned into a red cloud and left in the wind and sand.
When Old Man Qiao saw this, he knew that this person must also have different abilities.
He had no choice but to look at the remaining Lu Qing and another middle-aged man who had been silent.
"My two Taoist friends, are you leaving too?"
