"Old Man Yun, what are you doing back there? Hurry up and get to the front and prepare for the fight."
"We have all paid spirit stones, so just stay behind. But you have received 100 spirit stones, so you didn't take it for free."...
The people following the team looked at Old Man Yun and urged him to go to the front of the team to fight the poisonous creature.
Old Man Yun had no choice but to ride forward and follow Jiang Xianyu and Zhou Xin to the front.
Xu Lian, Xiao Xixi and the others stayed at the back of the group. Most of them had paid their spirit stones and did not need to go to the front to fight. Although Xu Lian did not pay, the caravan did not give him spirit stones either, so he did not need to go to the front to fight.
"Pfft!"...
In front of us, there was a bulging object like a pig's belly floating ten feet above the ground. It was obviously larger than the previous one, and the bubbles it exhaled were much larger than before.
Inside the big bubble, you can see huge pythons, big spiders, and big centipedes that are hideous and ferocious, with black poisonous gas surrounding them.
It may be due to weight or other reasons, the large bubbles fall very quickly.
“Bang, bang, bang!”…
One by one they fell to the ground, broke apart and exploded, releasing a large amount of poisonous gas that spread in the air and made everyone dizzy. Fortunately, everyone and the horses had taken antidote pills in advance.
Large poisonous creatures rushed out from the poisonous gas and pounced towards the caravan.
"Stop them!"
Jiang Xianyu took the lead, drew out the big sword behind him, jumped up from the horse's back, and slashed a sword light in the air.
puff!
A vicious python was chopped open, and blood spurted out.
Zhou Xin and Lao Yuntou also took action to fight against the poisonous creature.
The guards drew their swords and rushed forward to kill. They must not let the poisonous creature get close to the horses and cargo behind them, otherwise there would be heavy losses.
The drivers controlled the carriages and did not come forward to help.
After watching the battle for a while, Xu Lian knew Jiang Xianyu's strength. He was at the seventh level of Ming Jin Stage, which was a very strong strength among the younger generation in Pingyang County. Zhou Xin was about the same, at the sixth level of Ming Jin Stage. Lao Yuntou was slightly worse, at the fourth level of Ming Jin Stage. Most of the guards were at the Bone Refining Stage to the Marrow Refining Stage.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the front, and a large black scorpion with a long tail hook jumped out from the poisonous gas, passed by Jiang Xianyu and Zhou Xin, swung its tail hook, blew away Lao Yuntou, and rushed towards the guards.
The guards' faces turned pale and they all used their swords to block the attack. However, the scorpion's body was hit with sparks but the scorpion's hard shell could not be broken.
The big black scorpion knocked away some guards and rushed to a carriage.
"puff!"
A tail hook pierced the packhorse, bringing out a large amount of blood.
The driver was so frightened that his face turned pale. He jumped out of the car in a hurry and ran away.
"Stop it!"
Jiang Xianyu, who was fighting in the front, screamed and wanted to come back to help, but she was entangled by a giant spider and a giant centipede. She couldn't get away at all and could only watch and worry.
The big black scorpion moved in as if it were uninhabited, piercing and killing the pack horses and drivers with its sharp tail hook. In a short while, it had killed several pack horses and drivers, overturned the carriage frame, and scattered medicinal herbs all over the ground.
Seemingly not satisfied with killing these horses and the weak coachmen, the big black scorpion pounced towards the people following the team.
The people who followed the team were so frightened that their scalps went numb. They all rode their horses and fled, unable to help complaining.
"We gave the spirit stones to follow the team, but no one is protecting us?"
"Knock his mother, the spiritual stones were wasted!"...
Seeing Xu Lian standing still, Xiao Xixi thought he was frightened and reached out to pull him, "Xu Lang, hurry up."
Of course Xu Lian would not be scared by such a big scorpion. He was just considering whether to expose his strength. After thinking for a while, he decided that human life was at stake, so he decided to take action. He could not ignore human life because of his own selfish desires.
Moreover, Jiang Xianyu took good care of him along the way and did not ignore him just because he did not pay the spirit stones.
"fine."
Xu Lian signaled Xiao Xixi to let go with his eyes.
He reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword, without even drawing it out of the sheath, he just pulled it out, bringing out a sharp sword light.
puff!
The big black scorpion that was pouncing towards this side suddenly froze, and a flower of blood splashed out.
"Crack!"
The huge body slowly split open in the middle.
It broke into two halves and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Xiao Xixi was stunned, and then she knew that Xu Lian had hidden his strength. She looked at Xu Lian deeply, her beautiful eyes glowing with a strange light, and she giggled, "Xu Lang is really a hidden talent. It seems that I have picked up a treasure."
The members of the team who were fleeing in all directions were also stunned. Without even drawing the sword, he casually killed the giant black scorpion. What kind of strength was this
This made them all look at each other strangely, and they rode back to Xu Lian's side... This was undoubtedly the safest place.
A female cultivator who thought she was pretty looked at Xiao Xixi with disgust and approached Xu Lian. "A powerful young talent like you deserves a better woman. A fallen woman is not worthy of you."
This is not an implication, but an explicit statement.
Xiao Xixi was angry, but helpless, because what she said was true. She could only ride her horse sadly and prepare to leave Xu Lian.
Xu Lian held Xiao Xixi and glanced at the approaching female practitioner indifferently, "Miss Xiao grew up in a poor family. Her family sold her to a brothel in order to get food. She had no choice at all. Now she has chosen to be a good woman and follow me. Why not
In my opinion, a clean heart is cleaner than anything else. To me, she is worth a fortune, but to me, you are worthless even if you remain innocent.
Do you understand
Stay away from me, or I might mistake you for the black scorpion and chop you to pieces with my sword."
The female practitioner's face turned pale and blue, and she was very angry, but she didn't dare to lose her temper. She could only say "unreasonable" and left Xu Lian angrily.
Xiao Xixi's beautiful eyes were red with emotion, and she couldn't help crying, "Xu Lang, I will never let you down in this life."
Xu Lian reached out to wipe her tears and comforted her.
After a while, Xiao Xixi adjusted her mood and started chatting and laughing with Xu Lian. After all, she was born in a worldly place and was used to these scheming women, so she was not really angry.
The battle in front of the team gradually ended, with poisonous corpses scattered all over the ground, as well as the panting Jiang Xianyu, Zhou Xin and Lao Yuntou.
Especially Old Yuntou, his body was stained with blood, some of which were from poisonous creatures, and some were his own blood. He was seriously injured and kept taking detoxification pills. He felt pain in his body and cursed, "The caravan gave me 100 spirit stones, but I spent 200 spirit stones on the detoxification pills, and I am still in pain. It's a big loss."
Obviously, he said this on purpose in order to get the caravan to give him some compensation.
Zhou Xin smiled and took out two hundred spirit stones and threw them to him, "Count it as mine."
Old Yuntou took it cheerfully, "Thank you very much, Master Zhou. Master Zhou is so generous. I wish you all the best and win the beauty."
Zhou Xin was very happy to hear this.
Jiang Xianyu frowned and glanced at Zhou Xin, not knowing what to say, so she rode her horse and walked to the back of the team.
She checked the damage to the goods and found it was still within an acceptable range, so she asked someone to bring over a few spare pack horses, load the carriage, and load the scattered goods on the ground.
Do these well.
She came to the back of the team, where the people who followed the team were, and looked at Xu Lian with strange eyes, "Thank you for taking action just now and killing the black scorpion. Otherwise, the loss of the caravan would be incalculable."
Xu Lian bowed and said, "It's just a small favor, it's nothing to worry about. Besides, I'm also a member of the team, so I should lend a hand."
Jiang Xianyu took out the roster and turned to the page about Xu Lian. "You have the strength of a high-level Mingjin period, but when you registered, you only showed the strength of a Liansui period. Since you concealed your personal information and deceived the caravan, according to the caravan rules, you can only leave the team."
What
Xu Lian was stunned. He helped kill the black scorpion and reduced the caravan’s losses, but Jiang Xianyu wanted to kick him out of the team
