Chapter 687: Stealth for Several Days and Nights



Outside the carriage, the three big men who squeezed out carefully looked at each other. This young man closed his eyes for a whole day, which was really amazing. And when they got off the carriage, they accidentally touched the man's legs. Since he was not awake, sitting upright and being able to do this was simply exaggerated, but there were people in the world who could fall asleep while standing.

It was getting dark soon, there were many horse thieves on the grassland, as well as many ferocious wild beasts and beast monsters, so they could not continue on their journey. Therefore, they decided to rest here for a night.

The three of them carried the tent out from behind the carriage and were about to set it up when the captain came over and asked:

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know. I've been sitting here."

"Then keep your voice down and don't disturb him."

After the three nodded, their already cautious movements became even more ridiculous, and their gentle movements seemed to be slowed down. But soon, the flickering light in the sky surprised them.

The man holding the pot froze in his place, the man holding the rice bag stepped back a few steps, and the adventurer who was spreading high-level wild beast feces in the distance dropped the bag in his hand and hurried over here, not forgetting to shout loudly:

"Captain, something's happening!"

The captain had already noticed it, but just as he looked up, the streak of light had already come from the horizon, destroying a carriage, causing wood chips to fly everywhere, and the horses to fall to the ground.

The ordinary carriage, which was not very big, did not have a very sturdy structure, and even a chariot equipped with steel armor would be shattered by the practitioner's fluctuations.

Under the gust of wind, none of the thirteen people were spared, and they were all knocked down regardless of distance, but no one was injured because the vitality in the gust of wind was not strong. The captain judged from this that the strong man had no intention of killing him, so he was thankful, turned his hand to press down the mud and grass that were raised around him, and looked at the carriage and the people inside that were trampled.

When the last blade of grass fell from his eyes, the captain's vision became broader. He didn't know what kind of powerful person the person Li Ming knew had offended, and he didn't expect that Li Ming had experienced this scene himself. It was nothing more than an angry killer who fell from the sky, but no one killed Xia Xiao at that time, so how could there be one now?

The old man with snow-white hair and beard squatted in the center of the crushed carriage, pinching Xia Xiao's neck with his hands, his brows still furrowed. It was this little trick again, really annoying!

With a slight movement, Xia Xiao's neck broke immediately with a crisp sound, as if the driest wood could be torn apart with just a tiny crack.

Without looking at it for long, the old man threw it away. This wooden clone was only roughly the shape of Xia Xiao, but the devilish energy in it still deceived Wang Jinlong. He was too sensitive.

Standing up, his vitality spread all around, following Xia Xiao's footsteps. Wang Jinlong asked at the same time:

"Where did Xia Xiao go?"

As the leader of the entire team, the captain subconsciously moved forward, but was that young man Xia Xiao? Wasn't he captured by the Yun Kingdom? Could he have escaped back? It is said that the people of the Yun Kingdom are taller than those on the ground. This old man has the characteristics of long limbs. Could he be the Yun Kingdom strongman who is chasing Xia Xiao?

Suddenly, the captain was even more afraid of Xia Xiao. The Yun Kingdom was high above, and it was said that there was a barrier, like a prison in the sky. How could Xia Xiao escape from such an existence? It was fine if he escaped. When he saw him before, he didn't have many injuries on his body. This didn't look like a fugitive at all. Now he has become a wooden sculpture again. When did he perform this wooden clone technique?

A quarter of an hour ago, Xia Xiao was still with his team members, and disappeared in the blink of an eye? Or did Xia Xiao leave a long time ago, but they just didn't notice it. As an adventurer, the captain had seen many people and things, but at this moment he was stunned and silent, and when faced with Wang Jinlong's question, he shook his head, not knowing how to respond.

"Excuse me."

Wang Jinlong's tone was not that of an apology, but just a polite formality. Then, he left quietly, whether he entered a silent world or leaped into the distance. His arrival and departure were so swift that many team members did not react, and all they could see was the deepening dusk.

"Good fellow, you're not going to compensate for the carriage?"

Someone broke the silence, and a team member answered:

"Why else do you think he apologized?"

"The apology of a strong person is really useful..."

As the team members were discussing, the captain said loudly:

"Finish the work at hand first. Do you want to die in the mouth of a wild beast?"

The team members took action one after another, and their admiration for the captain became stronger. Someone with such a smart and rational mind was much better than them. But the captain also had some worries in his heart, which were reflected in his communication with the vice-captain.

"Why not tell him? Not telling him might get you into trouble."

"Are you from the Union or the Cloud Country?"

The deputy captain was a little embarrassed and a little awkward in the face of the captain's contemptuous look, but he said firmly:

“Union people, of course.”

"Then why do you care so much? Don't be so stubborn. The news we know may not be correct. If we tell him that he finds Xia Xiao, we will offend the latter. If he doesn't find him, we will offend the Yun Kingdom. Although that small country is not as powerful as us, we have our own mission. Don't always think that you have to tell others if you know something."

The deputy captain argued speciously to save his own face.

"I'm just afraid that the Yun people will come again and delay our mission."

"I've already said that it's a small country. Even if they are not afraid of us, they should be afraid of the trade unions behind us. Why do they care so much?"

"yes."

The captain has always been the deputy captain's role model. When he went to the side to warm himself by the fire, all the team members gathered together to have a campfire dinner in the dark. But the deputy captain found that the captain was always looking at the darkness not far away, wondering what he was thinking. He must be thinking of Xia Xiao at this time. It is incredible that a person who has attracted the attention of the entire wilderness can escape danger again and again.

Everyone aspires to be strong, powerful and in control of everything. Therefore, many famous people are the objects of everyone's fantasy, except Xia Xiao. This guy has a hard life, which makes people give up when they see difficulties. The captain doesn't want to be that kind of person. But Xia Xiao said before that he wanted to go to the north. I wonder if it is the Devil's Plain. If you want to avoid the pursuit of Yunguo, it is a good place to go. It is mysterious enough and can swallow people's breath, making people feel like entering a maze.

If that happens, they will meet again and can bring back enough explosive news to shock the wilderness again, and become an excuse to scare the children not to run around. Most importantly, they can make a lot of money, more than when they first met Xia Xiao.

Thinking of this, after a short rest, before dawn, the captain woke everyone up.

"Have a good meal, then lighten your burden, throw away the useless things, and head to the Devil's Grassland at full speed."

The members were a little confused, but they all followed the orders. The captain's orders were never wrong. As they rushed at full speed in the dying night, Xia Xiao did not stop either.

It would take some effort to get rid of that old guy Wang Jinlong, but he didn't show too much worry, because this grassland was vast enough and there were many beasts and monsters. He could feel the demonic energy fluctuating, and Wang Jinlong could definitely smell it.

In the darkness, Xia Xiao estimated the distance and time, stopped moving, and as the stones and dust were raised, he emerged from the grassland and took a few deep breaths. Traveling underground was fast and unimpeded, just like a fish in the water, but a little stuffy. In contrast, the ground was like heaven, with a breeze blowing, and the cool feeling made people feel very comfortable, and finally escaped from the cramped place.

The morning light was weak and could not drive away the coldness of the vast barbarian grassland, but it could bring good things to Xia Xiao. He smiled at the rising sun, but there was no warmth, only coolness. In his eyes, there was a guy who could not be missed.

This was one of the few fourth-level wolves on the grassland. Its sinister black-red eyes stared at Xia Xiao, and it was extremely calm. If anyone else saw it, they would be terrified. Its huge claws could cut through the dead grass and cut a person's throat. The blood coagulated all over its body proved its tyranny. It must have slaughtered its own tribe and started looking for the next target. But the bloodthirsty and murderous wolf had ended its journey because it met Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao always reminded himself not to kill innocent people, but that only applies to humans, not monsters.

Before the demonic energy was activated and the fangs were bared, the huge wolf beast had its head crushed by a claw, and fell to the ground without even a scream, losing its life. He could deal with the wolf demon that threatened Xia Xiao's life, let alone a fourth-level wolf beast that had strayed into the path of demons.

It had accumulated a lot of life energy, including wolves and humans, but was swallowed by Xia Xiao. It might still be in shock because it saw a demon creature that was stronger than itself, but its reaction was limited by the fourth level, otherwise it should have run away immediately. Low-level demon creatures are natural enemies of each other, only you swallow me, or I kill you.

The wolf beast had become a dried corpse, Xia Xiao disdained to look at it, but on the way to the Devil Grassland, he was able to fill his own black tree and accumulate a lot of vitality for absorption. This not only increased his cultivation, but also achieved his goal, but Xia Xiao controlled himself not to get addicted, so after a short rest, he did not take the initiative to hunt the beast monster, but continued on his way.

The journey was long, and Xia Xiao walked for days. He hid during the day and night, and traveled in the air and underground. Several times, Xia Xiao was spotted by the Yun people, but he did not rush to the north, but disappeared in the thick clouds in the blink of an eye, and was no longer seen on the grassland.

The people of Yun were surprised, but they were afraid of danger and did not dare to look for him. They could only report to Wang Jinlong and stand still, waiting for orders. They could not imagine that Xia Xiao was resting underground not far from them, and was even practicing seals to absorb the vitality accumulated in the past few days.

These past few days, Xia Xiao accidentally encountered a three-headed beast monster. The energy he had accumulated plus his own cultivation could allow him to challenge the seventh ring of Qu Lun.

No matter what you do, it requires a lot of strength, so Xia Xiao is seizing the time to improve his cultivation. He always feels that Yunguo is going to make a big move, but he has not contacted Heihuang yet, which is really strange.

That guy won't die, will he? With such a strong strength, he certainly won't die so easily, but Xia Xiao called her whenever he had free time, as if he wanted her to see how dangerous her current situation was and take her into the darkness quickly. But she seemed to see through Xia Xiao's mind and just didn't come out, playing mysterious.
