After resting for a while, the caravan took out some dry food to eat. After two days of constant running around, most of them were exhausted both physically and mentally.
An hour is not too long, but for the caravan members, it is more or less a period of rest, especially for ordinary people. After eating dry food and drinking herbal tea, they can even take a nap for half an hour to restore a lot of energy.
During the break, the tea stall waiter was very attentive and poured tea and water for everyone, which made the Luo family very satisfied with this tea stall.
An hour passed quickly. After Luo Yungui looked at some of the Luo family members who were still sleeping outside the tea stall, he said to the people around him, "Go, pass the message down. We are ready to continue our journey. We must rush to Shanhai County today.
I know they are tired, but this is an extraordinary time.”
After he finished explaining, he looked at the tea stand clerk standing next to him with a warm smile on his face, and then said, "I am very satisfied with your place, so I will give you more as a reward."
Hearing what he said, the Luo family members nearby hurriedly took out a lot of worldly money and handed it over.
After the tea stall waiter took the money and things, a smile of gratitude and excitement appeared on his face.
He bowed and thanked them, and when he saw the Luo family preparing to leave, he frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was struggling in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, the tea stall clerk said, "Sir, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not. After all, these are just the news I heard."
Luo Yungui and his companions were about to walk out of the tea stall when they suddenly heard the words of the tea stall waiter. They all stopped and showed some confusion on their faces.
"What do you want to say?"
Luo Yungui asked.
The tea stand clerk said, "The customers have given me a lot of tips, and I have nothing to repay them with. I can only tell you some news I heard as a way of repaying you.
I see the guests are taking this road, they should be heading towards Shanhai County.
More than ten days ago, a group of very powerful bandits came to Shanhai County. They seemed to specialize in robbing passing merchant caravans.
Many caravans passed by me and said that their belongings were robbed.
I heard that Shanhai County is not very peaceful nowadays, and several major families are fighting each other, so some bandits took advantage of the situation and ran to Shanhai County to cause trouble.
These bandits took advantage of the fact that the major families were fighting and had no time to take care of the situation in their own county, and specifically hijacked the passing caravans.
I heard from people that this gang of bandits is very powerful and stronger than any other gang that has ever appeared here.
The most powerful bandit leader seems to be in a state of… what is it?”
Hearing the waiter's words, Luo Yungui frowned and instinctively asked, "God-descending stage?"
The waiter smiled and nodded when he heard it, "Yes, yes, sir, you are right, that's what it is called.
I am just an ordinary person, and I don’t understand the matters of you practitioners. I have heard this word before, but I can’t remember it.”
His words surprised the Luo family. It was really surprising that a gangster led by a god-descending stage cultivator appeared in Shanhai County.
"Are you sure their bandit leader is at the level of a spirit descending? How could such a powerful bandit come?"
A member of the Luo family nearby couldn't believe it and asked.
His words seemed to make the tea stand clerk hesitate. He scratched his head and thought for a while before saying, "Sir, I am not sure what I said is right. After all, I heard it from hearsay.
It was only when other large caravans were robbed that they told me about their experiences while resting here that I was able to hear this news from the sidelines. "
After hearing what the waiter said, Luo Yungui frowned deeply.
He waved his hand to signal the waiter to ignore them, then walked out of the tea stall shed with the Luo family members around him.
"Uncle Qi, do you think this news is credible
"A bandit leader in the descent stage, how powerful is this gang of bandits?"
Luo Sansheng spoke up.
Luo Yungui was silent for a moment, and said: "I dare not easily say whether this news is true or false, after all, Shanhai County is indeed in chaos now.
And we all know that when families in a county start fighting each other, it is indeed the best time for gangs to take action.
If what the tea stall guy said is true, it is definitely not a good thing for us.
It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Now that we have heard the news, it will not hurt to be careful on the way. "
Luo Sansheng nodded after hearing this and said, "Seventh Uncle, why don't we fly the family flag after we return to Shanhai County? Maybe with the status of our Luo family, even if there really is a gang, they will think twice."
Luo Yungui nodded after hearing this and said, "That's the only way. I hope that group of people are not so desperate, otherwise it won't be a good thing for us."
After that, they organized the Luo family caravan to get back on the road. They also informed every member of the caravan of the news they had heard before, warning everyone to stay alert and be vigilant to any movements around them.
The group quickened their pace and at nightfall, they finally entered the territory of Shanhai County.
Back to Shanhai County, it is not far from Dahuang City. If they travel overnight, they can basically get back to their family when the sun rises.
But when Luo Yungui looked at the caravan members behind him who were truly exhausted, he gritted his teeth and stopped.
After all, no matter how fast they traveled, they couldn't fly, and they still had to pass through Shanhai County.
If he was attacked by bandits when he was exhausted, no one except himself and his family members who were in the Lingdan stage would be able to fight at all.
And I guess those people don’t even have the strength to escape.
After thinking it over, Luo Yungui still felt that it would be better to set up camp and rest. At least they could recover some strength and ensure that they had enough energy to deal with the crisis later.
"Everyone stop, set up camp and prepare to rest. We will set out in the second half of the night."
Luo Yungui said loudly.
After hearing his words, the people behind him immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They had almost held on to their limits.
The team members, with their last bit of energy, used the tools they had to build a fence to prevent harassment from animals, and then laid felt directly on the ground.
After drinking some water and eating some dry food, they prepared to lie down and rest.
Experts above the Lingdan stage can go for long periods of time without sleeping, relying only on visualizing their natal talismans to restore their spirits.
Moreover, when meditating, they could retain a part of their spirit to remain alert, so they all became the night watchmen of the caravan.
However, just as the caravan members lay down and rested for less than a quarter of an hour, they suddenly heard some sounds of branches breaking around them, as if someone was walking in the forest.
