His face was full of confusion.
How could this guy know that the enemy was coming when he was hiding in the carriage?
The old man wanted to ask Xu Qiu, but the situation suddenly changed, so he had to suppress his doubts.
He shouted to the people around him, "Make a circle around the carriages, quick!"
The driver nodded quickly and arranged the cargo carriages into a large circle, while the passenger carriages formed a small circle within the large circle.
Rely on these roadblocks to deal with the enemy.
This is almost the wise thing to do.
Similar to building a city, it is the most effective way to fight against bandits in the wild.
The guards all took out their bows and crossbows, hid inside the freight carriage, and looked vigilantly at the billowing smoke in the distance.
The escorts also drew their swords, as if facing a powerful enemy.
At this time, the lady in the convoy was the exquisite woman.
Sitting in the carriage, he looked outside nervously, "We have only been walking for less than a day, and we have already encountered bandits so soon?"
The maid next to her also had her chest heaving, obviously too nervous.
The palms and backs of my hands are full of sweat:
"Miss, the North Vietnam is too backward. They haven't even cleaned up the bandits, and let them come out to rob and loot."
"Don't worry, if they are just bandits, they are no match for us." The woman comforted her maid.
However, a sudden voice sounded.
"What you have to deal with are not bandits, but monsters."
The two women turned their heads at the same time.
But I don't know when.
Xu Qiu stood on the roof of another carriage with his hands behind his waist, looking into the distance.
The biting dry wind made the corners of his clothes rustle, and the image of a hermit came to life on the paper.
At this time, the maid ignored Xu Qiu's previous attitude.
He blinked and asked, "Monsters, could they be the monsters in the inner city of Beiyue Capital?"
"That's right."
Xu Qiu nodded.
The maid and the woman saw him to confirm.
He was so scared that his face turned pale.
The maid couldn't help but said, "Why don't we run away? I heard that this monster likes to eat people, and it is extremely ferocious. Even martial arts masters can't defeat it."
She nervously held the lady's hand.
The originally pink lips gradually turned pale and weak, and could be seen trembling slightly.
She was very panicked.
The young lady said, "If we run now, can we outrun those people on horseback?"
"But are we going to die here?"
"Don't worry, there is only one monster, and we are numerous and powerful, so we can always kill it." The lady said calmly.
The maid could only nod woodenly.
At least now I have the lady, and I still feel a little safe.
Xu Qiu turned his head and couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him.
This guy's mentality is indeed stronger than other women. It is rare for a weak woman to achieve this level.
However, Xu Qiu had no plans to take action.
It is exactly as the lady described.
There were more than 200 people in the convoy, most of whom were escorts and guards.
The number of coachmen and their attendant maids did not exceed thirty or forty people.
With such a scale, even bandits would be wary of it.
“Here I come.”
Suddenly, an escort from the convoy shouted.
A dozen gangsters were galloping on horseback, right in front of us, with billowing dust behind them.
They came galloping, but instead of continuing to charge towards the convoy, they dispersed to both sides of the convoy.
At this time, the escorts and guards outside were puzzled, "Why are they running for their lives?"
"Indeed, it doesn't look like they are attacking us?"
Several guards beside him also echoed the sentiment.
These gangsters did not make any move to attack them. Instead, they looked behind them in panic.
The people in the convoy had no idea that they were being attacked by monsters.
Only Xu Qiu and the young lady's maid knew about it.
Even the old man who had been there before was standing in a circle outside, ready for battle at any moment.
A man on horseback drew his bow and arrow.
He lit the arrow and shot it at a truck carrying horse feed in the convoy. Soon the truck was engulfed in flames.
It is extremely dazzling in this Gobi Desert.
"Damn it, these bastards!"
An escort said viciously.
"shoot!"
The guards also raised their bows and crossbows, wanting to shoot and kill these gangsters.
However, they have not yet pulled the trigger.
The earth was shaking rhythmically.
The pebbles on the ground were bounced into the air.
"What happened?!" At this moment, not only the escort but also the guards were looking around in panic.
Turn your head and look.
I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance again.
A gigantic monster appeared before his eyes. It had a snake head and a pig nose, like a large lizard, with a large number of scales and fins on its waist and back.
It is impossible to guess whether it is a terrestrial or aquatic creature.
Originally, the monster was chasing the people of the martial arts world.
But now I am attracted by that ball of fire.
Coming towards the caravan.
One guard turned pale with fear and shouted, "Monster! It's a monster!"
No one had expected that they would encounter a monster here. This was too unlucky.
The people in the underworld who passed by looked at the merchant's frightened expression with a look of gloating:
"Enjoy yourself!"
"Hahaha!"
The other people in the martial arts world burst into laughter.
He rode his horse at full speed and fled into the distance.
Then he hid behind a rock hill and watched the fire from across the river.
When the escort saw them, he cursed angrily, "What a bunch of bastards! I will kill them when I get out alive!"
At this time, the old man said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to be entangled. The important thing now is how to deal with this evil beast!"
There is an old man here to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Everyone seemed to have found their backbone.
The old man shouted quickly, "Bowmen, get ready, shoot at the beast's eyes!"
He stared at the monster with sharp eyes and instantly discovered its weakness.
The guards did not dare to be careless. They raised their crossbows, aimed at the eyes and pulled the trigger.
Swish, swish, swish! A large number of crossbow arrows flew at high speed towards the monster's eyes. However, they underestimated the extent to which the monster could play tricks.
The monster saw the crossbow arrow flying towards its weak point.
Without saying a word, he lowered his eyelids and closed his eyes.
In an instant, the crossbow arrow hit its eyelid.
Make a tinkling sound.
The monster just rushed forward with its eyes closed.
The next moment, the huge body directly crashed into the periphery of the convoy, and several cargo carriages rolled over and fell to the ground.
The other horses were frightened and kept wailing.
If it weren't for the reins, it might have escaped long ago.
"Quickly surround and destroy it!" the old man shouted.
Show the knife in your hand.
He is a top-notch warrior, whose strength is only slightly weaker than that of a grandmaster.
After he shouted, he raised the knife in his hand and stabbed at the monster. The other bodyguards joined the battle and kept slashing at the monster.
Behind him is the crossbowman, who draws the bow, loads the arrow, and pulls the trigger, all in one go.
Xu Qiu saw this scene and said, "Interesting."
This team is not a simple business trip.
The guards and escorts are all experienced warriors who are decisive in killing.
However, Xu Qiu's ears moved slightly.
He heard the voice of a man who was the leader of the gang hiding behind the rock hill.
The other man rode on his horse with his arms folded across his chest, watching coldly and saying, "Wait until they kill the monster, then we'll go look for the monster's treasure." (End of this chapter)
