Chapter 124 The long road is long and the danger is full!
In the dense forest, the light is like countless sharp swords, piercing down from the gaps in the shadows of the trees. The eyes are full of dead branches and fallen giant trees, and occasionally a low beast roar can be heard.
Suddenly, a rapid bell rang, and a five-meter-tall giant beast rushed over. It took brisk and vigorous steps, covering more than ten meters in one step.
What followed was one such giant beast after another.
On the back of the giant beast, there are boxes of supplies and huts for people to live in, as well as practitioners standing on top.
"This thing is so fast!" Xia Yu stood on the back of a bundle beast and looked at the light and shadow flowing around it in surprise.
He really didn't expect that this thing could run so fast. It was almost flying on the ground, and it was very stable on its back.
When he was on Earth, he had seen a characteristic of chickens. No matter how you moved its body, its head would remain fixed.
Now the back of the beast is the same, as if there is some kind of stabilizer. No matter how bumpy it runs, the back of the turtle is as stable as flat ground.
Xia Yu has been traveling with the caravan for the seventh day.
The rule of the caravan is to set off during the day and rest at night. Because after midnight, the miasma in the dense forest is too strong, even the beasts can't bear it.
However, there are also special ones, such as a certain section of road that is said to be the territory of a giant ferocious beast, which will walk through it overnight and pass quickly.
The caravan of the Shenxing Sect controls a certain route, which is a secret to them, and can avoid many dangers, so the journey has been basically safe for the past seven days.
"Team 3, patrol!" Suddenly a call came from the front.
As an accompanying elder, Xia Yu had patrol duties. He was assigned to the third team. There were ten people in the team, and the leader was an ancestor from the Changhe Realm of the Shenxing Sect.
After receiving the order, Xia Yu immediately took off on the ground escape shuttle and flew.
It didn't fly too high, just a little higher than the back of the bundle beast.
The front and rear of the caravan are the most dangerous. During every patrol, the first six and the last four are the most likely to encounter danger, especially the front. The first six are all practitioners of the Shenxing Sect.
Xia Yu is responsible for the postponement.
Flying side by side with him was a short, skinny old man with a cultivation level in the early stages of the Long River Realm. He was riding a flying treasure that looked like a wine gourd and called himself Zhao Si.
The little old man Zhao Si likes to drink. He looks red and smiles all day long. He is also an accompanying elder. Xia Yu has gotten along well with him these days.
"Want a sip?" Zhao Si took out another small wine cup.
There is a space formation inside this wine cup. Although it is small on the outside, it can hold more than ten jars of wine inside, which can last for several months.
"No drinking during patrol." Xia Yu shook his head.
Although the people of the Shenxing Sect did not have any requirements for the accompanying elders, he himself had to stay awake, as anything could happen in this dense forest.
"Another ascetic monk who doesn't understand life." Zhao Si shook his head, sitting on the wine gourd and drinking wine, feeling very happy.
Xia Yu has some advantages in making friends with this old man. This old man talks about anything every time he drinks too much. He hangs out in the Muyu Linghai all the year round, and Xia Yu learns a lot of knowledge from him.
The two of them flew to the rear of the team, where there were already two practitioners. The four of them lined up in a row, flying with the caravan while watching left and right to prevent being attacked by others.
However, in the past seven days, we did not encounter any danger, and everyone did not slack off. Only Old Man Zhao was drinking and fishing.
Each time they patrol for two hours, the two members of the Shenxing Sect put on lightweight flying treasures. The purpose of this is to save spiritual energy. For practitioners, spiritual energy is the foundation of everyone.
Only Xia Yu can fly for several hours without getting tired while riding a heavy weapon like an Earth-Escape Shuttle. It can be seen that his spiritual power is indeed very strong.
After flying for half an hour, the caravan suddenly slowed down. Something must have happened ahead.
This was the first time we encountered them since we set off. The leader of the rear team looked solemn and said, "I'll go to the front and take a look. You guys should be on guard all around."
"Okay." Even Old Man Zhao put away the wine cup this time.
The leader of the rear team also changed his flying treasure and accelerated to the front to understand the situation.
After a while, the caravan started on the road again, and the leader of the rear group also flew back. According to him, he met several practitioners in the dense forest and asked them to join the caravan.
Logically speaking, it is taboo for people to join the caravan halfway. After all, people's hearts are sinister. Who knows who these people are?
But after Xia Yu finished patrolling and passed by those practitioners, he realized why the caravan agreed to join them.
I saw that these practitioners were all old, weak, sick, and among them were women and babies who had no cultivation skills. They looked very miserable.
Xia Yu wondered, "Why do these people appear in such a dense forest?"
There are continuous forests everywhere. Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for these old, weak, women and children to appear, so it is simply unimaginable.
Old Man Zhao took a sip of wine and then said, "These are all humans who were captured by the spirits and used as slaves."
"Human cultivators become slaves of spirits?" Xia Yu was shocked.
"Yes." Old Man Zhao said, "Elves are also a kind of life, but they are short in stature and very lazy! That's why they capture human slaves. Men help them farm and women help them give birth. These people should
He escaped."
"I see." Xia Yu now understood why the practitioners of Muyu Linghai were so hostile to spirits. These short things were really abominable.
Xia Yu asked again, "The spirits are so hateful, why doesn't anyone destroy them? Since these people escaped, they must know where the spirits live!"
"Young and naive." Old Man Zhao drank and shook his head. "This is originally the world of monsters. There are countless numbers of them. Can you eliminate them? Besides, they all live in the form of tribes, waiting for you.
If you find them, they might have moved somewhere long ago. Anyway, if you encounter any monsters, no matter how big or small, just kill them together."
"Oh." Xia Yu nodded.
Nothing happened in the following time, but when they set up camp at night, those who escaped made a lot of noise.
"What happened?" Xia Yu walked over.
I saw these people gathered around the bonfire, discussing something heatedly. When I walked over and asked, I found out that these people were quarreling over a baby that a woman was carrying.
"This is the seed of a monster, we must not let him live!"
"No! This is my man's seed, and my man is dead!"
"How is it possible that you are asked to find a man in the den of monsters? This is the seed left by the monsters. This is a scourge! It must be killed!"
Xia Yu walked over and looked at the child in the woman's arms. It looked similar to a human baby, but its lips were red, and when he smiled, his mouth was full of blood, which was a bit ferocious.
A man in ragged clothes next to him said loudly, "I just saw you feeding him blood! And you said he's not a monster?"
It turns out that these people met to escape from the monster den, and met this woman accidentally. It turned out that the woman brought a child with her. Now everyone suspects that this is the offspring of the monster.
"Kill him!" someone shouted.
The woman held the child and cried, "Absolutely not, this is my child! I gave birth to this!"
"What should we do in this situation?" Xia Yu also didn't know how to deal with it. It seemed that both sides were reasonable.
A woman has to protect her children, and a man has to kill monsters. To be honest, this thing is so young and needs to drink blood every day. When it grows up, there is no telling what kind of monster it will turn into.
After a while, Min Zhenjun got the news and sent someone to announce the decision: the woman must destroy the monster, otherwise she cannot stay in the caravan. If the woman insists that this is a human baby, she can be sent to Zhenjun for testing.
Obviously, this woman did not dare to send the baby to Zhenjun for testing. She took the baby and walked into the dark forest alone.
Xia Yu looked at her thin back and felt a little uncomfortable. However, the woman walked far away and when she looked back, Xia Yu saw a look of resentment in her eyes.
Xia Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she felt vaguely that she might be in trouble.
