Chapter 207 Chapter 29-the storm on the road (first update)
On the second day, Ye Sheng and Chu Zhongtian continued their journey with Big Old Black.
Last night, they both fell into a deep sleep and released the pressure in their hearts. They were in an exceptionally good mood. Ye Sheng and Chu Zhongtian were chatting and laughing as they chatted with the people of the caravan about the interesting things on the prairie.
It was as if they had really blended into this caravan.
After walking for three days and two thousand miles like this, they passed through many counties, saw the Highlands, saw the rivers, met groups of cows and sheep, and also saw the migration of barbarian tribes..
The things they had seen and heard along the way allowed Ye Sheng and Chu Zhongtian to understand the prairie even more.
It was much better than passing by on their own.
Three days later, old black clearly increased his speed. Even if he was resting, it would only be two hours. Then, he sped up his journey.
His expression was much more solemn as he stared at his surroundings vigilantly.
The people who usually talked and laughed were now all serious as they continued on their journey.
This series of abnormal actions made Ye Sheng and Chu Zhongtian look at each other in dismay.
“What happened?”Ye Sheng asked.
Big Black said in a deep voice, “This is the area where the horse gangs are active. We have to go there as soon as possible. If we encounter the horse gangs, we will suffer heavy losses.”
Horse gangs? Ye Sheng asked curiously, “Doesn’t the Turkic Empire eliminate horse gangs?”
Old Black said mockingly, “Many big forces keep horse gangs in private. Who would dare to encircle and suppress them?”
Chu Zhongtian nodded and said, “There are many horse gangs on the prairie. Even if they are scattered, they are not strong enough. However, some of the big horse gangs must have the support of a big force behind them. That is why they can be active on the prairie.”
Big black nodded and said, “This area is where the horse gangs are active. I walked around once before and was robbed by them. At that time, I was still an ordinary merchant and didn’t have a caravan. Now that I have this caravan, I have to be even more careful.”
“Can’t we go around it?”Ye Sheng asked.
“It’s too far. If we go around this area, we will need to walk at least ten thousand miles. The losses are too great.”Big Black shook his head and said.
Blackie’s caravan had no experience in this area. They could only travel as fast as they could.
The grassland was very large. Most of the areas were not covered in green grass. In some areas, there were even deserts and sand dunes.
Blackie’s caravan was located in such an area.
Desolation.
The area within a hundred miles was uninhabited. The caravan of thirty to forty people began to gallop.
Ye Sheng and Chu Zhongtian were calm and collected as they watched silently. However, Blackie’s people were all very nervous.
“These horse gangs don’t have any sense of morality. Once they take a fancy to them, they will end up in a miserable state. The men will be killed or sold, and the women will end up in a miserable state.”Old Black shook his head and said.
Rumble!
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake. In the distance, thick smoke billowed and sand and dust filled the air. Sixty to seventy large horses galloped over with great momentum.
“Horse gangs, are they really here?”Old Black’s vision went dark as he gnashed his teeth and said.
Being frightened by this aura, the horses, cows, and sheep all ran around in panic.
Blackie said loudly, “Everyone, be on guard. Keep the goods well and don’t panic.”
The group of people immediately began to gather up the scattered cows and sheep. Ye Sheng and Chu Zhongtian looked at each other and said, “Brother Blackie, we’ll help you too.”
The two of them dismounted and went to gather up the frightened cows and sheep.
Big Old Black looked at them and nodded without saying anything.
He stared at the group of bandits with a serious expression. He held a podao tightly in his hand and sat firmly on the horse’s back.
After Ye Sheng and Chu Zhongtian left big old black, they started to discuss.
“We need to help,”ye Sheng said.
Chu Zhongtian nodded and said, “That’s easy. I’ll go and kill them now.”
They were just a group of bandits. They wouldn’t be able to last more than a few moves under Chu Zhongtian’s hands.
However, Ye Sheng pulled him back and said, “If you make a move, we’ll be exposed. We’ll have to leave and go alone.”
Chu Zhongtian scratched his head and said, “Then what should we do? I Can’t split myself.”
Ye Sheng smiled confidently and said, “You can’t. I can.”
“You can split yourself?”Chu Zhongtian asked doubtfully.
“I have an out-of-body spirit, so we will stay behind to comfort the horses. My Spirit will take action, “Ye Sheng said. Chu Zhongtian suddenly understood and hid behind with Ye Sheng.
Rumble!
The horse gang soon arrived in front of them. More than 60 people surrounded the caravan and shouted excitedly.
The people of the caravan squeezed together in fear, their faces full of fear.
Old Black asked in a deep voice, “Which leader are you?”
A big masked man among the horse gang sneered and said, “It’s me, Your Grandpa.”
“Leader, I’m just a traveling merchant with ordinary things. It’s not worth your effort,”old black said sincerely.
“You want to lie to me?”The leader laughed disdainfully, pointing at the horses in the caravan, he said, “These are top-quality horses. You have more than a hundred of them. These are my targets. Hand them over. I don’t want the rest.”
Old Blackie’s expression was extremely ugly.
“Head, I’m just trying to make a living. If you want all of them, we’re going to commit suicide.”Old Blackie still wanted to fight for
it.
“Get lost. What does your suicide have to do with me? It’s already good enough that I didn’t kill you. If you dare to force us, kill all the men and bring the women back,”the head shouted angrily.
Old Blackie clenched the Podao in his hand tightly, and blue veins popped up. His patience had reached its limit.
This first-in-charge was at the tenth stage of the Houtian realm, which was higher than him. Moreover, all of his subordinates were at the seventh or eighth stage of the Houtian realm. They definitely couldn’t defeat him.
However, if they lost these horses, all of them would suffer so much that they would commit suicide.
Just when old Blackie was in a dilemma, an ethereal voice sounded.
“I didn’t expect to meet a horse gang. Interesting, interesting. “A figure flew over. His face was old and his clothes were fluttering in the wind. He looked like an expert from the outside world.
“Flying on his own. This is the Xiantian realm.”The head and Old Black were both stunned.
Old Black’s eyes lit up and he shouted, “Senior, these horse gangs are causing trouble. They stole my horse. Please make the decision.”
The first-in-charge shouted angrily, “Shut up.”
Then he explained, “Senior, this junior is willing to pay a thousand gold coins to give it to you.”
The sage-like old man glanced at him coldly and said, “I lack a thousand gold coins from
you?”
The first-in-charge’s expression changed greatly and he still wanted to persuade him.
However, the sage-like old man waved his sleeve and said indifferently, “I hate mounted gangsters the most. Go and die.”
Sword Control!
The rain of arrows fell from the sky. This group of Postliminary realm people couldn’t resist it at all.
Puchi, Puchi, Puchi!
The Arrows rained down like rain. In front of their eyes, more than sixty horse gangs were killed.
Old Black was dumbfounded. He was about to thank his senior when he looked up and saw that the figure had disappeared.
“He really is an expert in the Dao,”old black sighed.
Suddenly, he reacted and said, “Quick, pack your things and leave immediately.”
The people from the caravan led the horses, COWS, sheep, and carriages and quickly left.
Ye Sheng and Chu Zhongtian were mixed in and left with them.
On the way, Chu Zhongtian said to Ye Sheng, “Good for you. Your soul cultivation is also so strong.”
Ye Sheng said proudly, “I’m a genius.”
