The next morning, a servant from the harem came to find Ye Li and told him that Li Rushan was already waiting.
After Ye Li left the house, he quickly came to the front of Li Rushan's house. Sure enough, there were already nine people gathered there.
Among the nine people, except Li Rushan, Liu Zhanqing and Liu Bilu, the other six were retainers, whom Ye Li had met before.
These six people are considered to have the highest cultivation levels among the retainers. The leader is called Zhu Ya, who has the cultivation level of the Divine Spirit Stage, and the remaining five are all at the Concentration Spirit Stage.
Seeing Ye Li coming over, Li Rushan and everyone else smiled. Li Rushan said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, we are ready to set off.
Tianhong Glacier is not close to here. Even if we ride fast horses along the official road, it will take at least seven or eight days to get there."
After Li Rushan finished speaking, he did not waste any more time and led everyone towards the outer city. The ten people soon arrived outside the inner city. After all, they were all royal family members and had the privilege of riding horses in the outer city, so they all got on fast horses outside the inner city and began to seize the time to leave Tangjing City, and then galloped towards the northwest.
The so-called official road was actually a road built by the Tang Dynasty specifically for officials to travel on.
These roads are relatively flat and rarely get stuck in traffic. They are designed to facilitate the delivery of court documents or other official activities.
Relying on his own identity, Li Rushan borrowed the official road in the name of a special mission, and galloped towards the direction of Tianhong Glacier with nine people behind him.
They were moving very fast and didn't waste much time along the way. In just four days, they arrived at the border of the Tang State.
Once they left the Tang border, they could no longer run at full speed on the official road, and their travel speed would drop significantly.
After all, outside the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty is a no-man's land with no roads, only grassland.
Further away is the territory of Beimo State, a small vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
After leaving the border, everyone rode their horses into the grassland nearby. The muddy and slippery grass was not very suitable for galloping horses, so everyone unconsciously slowed down.
“Everyone, be careful. There are wolf monsters in this area. Although these beasts in the divine stage cannot hurt us, they can hurt the horses we are riding.
Once the horses are injured or killed, our speed will drop to the minimum, and we will have to rely on our legs to reach Tianhong Glacier."
Liu Zhanqing suddenly spoke up, warning everyone.
He and his younger brother Liu Bilu always protected Li Rushan on both sides and stayed in the center of the team to ensure Li Rushan's absolute safety.
Ye Li was running in the front. After all, his strength was there for everyone to see, and Li Rushan couldn't fail to make good use of it, so he made him the vanguard.
Ye Li didn't care much about this, but because he didn't know the road very well, he needed Li Rushan behind him to guide him all the way.
"Ye Li, be alert!"
Li Rushan shouted to Ye Li who was running in the front.
He had heard clearly what Liu Zhanqing had just said, and knew that there were monsters here that might hurt the horses, so he naturally responded loudly, then concentrated his attention and was on guard against the surrounding grass.
The grass on the grassland is not comparable to ordinary grass. The grass here can grow up to a person's chest. Even if you ride a tall horse, it is difficult for people to see clearly what is happening in the grass.
As the name suggests, the crouching wolf is a wolf-like monster that likes to lurk on the surface. It can hide in the grass and launch deadly attacks on its prey.
The environment here is the best hiding place for Voldemort, and the sound of horse hooves made by the ten-man cavalry has become the most eye-catching thing in this empty wilderness.
Just before dusk, when everyone was preparing to find a place to set up camp for the night, dozens of giant blue wolves suddenly jumped out of the bushes on the left side of the team without any warning.
Compared to those monsters that are three or four meters tall, these giant wolves are actually not that big, because they are only about two meters tall, so they can hide in the grass when they lie down on the ground.
These wolves are very fast. With the power of earth, they seem to have merged into one with the earth. They hide in the grass and are difficult to detect.
Even though Ye Li and two Fu Zun realm masters were in the team, they still failed to discover the existence of the wolves in advance and were ambushed by them. This was why Liu Zhanqing reminded the team before, because he knew that these wolves were not so easy to be detected by humans. Before launching an attack, they were like ghosts, able to blend into the surrounding environment without making any noise.
At the moment when the wolves pounced, Meng Ran under Ye Li's feet forced the trotting horse to stop in place, then stood up and jumped, rushing to the left side of the team.
As expected, the few guests on the far left were caught off guard for a moment. Although they still launched attacks and defenses and killed several giant wolves at once, they were still not enough in the face of the huge number of dozens of wolves.
Before they could intercept them, several giant wolves bit the horses' necks and killed them instantly.
Three spiritual warriors in the Concentration Stage among the ten-man team lost their horses as soon as they met each other, and looks of regret appeared on their faces.
The defensive spells they had just cast were used instinctively to protect themselves, and they ignored the horses beneath them.
In fact, looking back now, they feel that there is no need to use talismans to protect themselves just now. After all, these wolves are only at the stage of descending spirits. They, masters in the stage of concentrating spirits, will not be hurt even if they are bitten, so there is no need for talismans to protect themselves.
On the contrary, the horses under their crotch were ordinary livestock, and they had no means of resisting the attacks of the giant wolves. After being attacked, they fell to the ground and died immediately.
Ye Li had also arrived at this time, and thunder was thrown out from his bracelet in an instant.
His body had already shown the state of cast water and cast wood. When water and wood were in harmony, vines began to appear around Ye Li, rolling in all directions.
The vines activated by his cultivation level of the Divine Phase were incredibly powerful. In just a blink of an eye, seven or eight wolves died in his hands.
Ye Li would not hesitate at all. He swung the long sword like a huge gyroscope. The lightning of the sword instantly illuminated his surroundings completely. The wolves that were touched by the lightning were almost trembling constantly. They lost all resistance and fell to the ground, completely becoming wolves.
