A convoy of thirteen carriages escorted a large number of furs to the imperial capital Tianlong City.
The gentle man who took the initiative to find Xia Lei was the master of the Wuling City branch of Jinyuan Trading Company. The purpose of going to Feihu Martial Arts was, of course, to find hired guards to escort the goods.
This was a batch of high-quality furs that had just been transported from the wilderness. After preliminary processing, the price when shipped to the imperial capital was several times higher. Of course, when they purchased the furs from the wilderness, the price was unimaginably low.
The price of the entire process will change dozens of times.
"What a fucking huge profit..."
Xia Lei hummed a little tune and rode on a black war horse. He couldn't help but feel sad for the wild aborigines. Their low social status brought countless wealth to Longyuan Kingdom.
Carrying the waistband engraved with Prince Longde's palace, the master of the caravan was in awe of him, knowing that with his ability in the imperial capital, he would definitely be promoted to an official. This is not what he used to be. Therefore, this
He didn't dare to show any signs of neglect on the way, and he didn't act like an employer or a mercenary guard. Instead, he treated him as an uncle.
Traveling again and again, more than half a month passed without incident.
The speed of the galloping horse was naturally much slower than when there were only two of them. It took more than half a month to cover less than three thousand miles. It is said that there are still three months to go from the imperial capital of Tianlong City.
Originally, according to Odin, it was better to just ask for the route. The distance of less than 20,000 miles was reached in less than ten days.
However, this plan was directly rejected by Xia Lei. The reason is very simple. It is really anxious to live an ordinary life from the supreme supernatural power. However, this is not a good way to cultivate one's mind. He is even sure that,
After this training, there will definitely be a breakthrough in mental cultivation.
Three months is not a long time for masters of their level, especially Odin who has been trapped in a realm for more than 100,000 years. Back then, a single retreat lasted hundreds of years in the blink of an eye.
Hearing his explanation, Odin felt a little incredible. Is a breakthrough that simple?
However, an inexplicable feeling prevented him from refuting it. He even felt that what Xia Lei said might be true. Otherwise, wouldn't he be anxious?
"Vajra Cloud Eagle!"
Suddenly someone in the team shouted, and many people immediately raised their heads and shifted their gaze to the sky hundreds of meters high.
An eagle with a wingspan of more than four meters and dark golden feathers emits a loud cry. In this world where ferocious beasts do not exist, this kind of bird can definitely be regarded as a bird of prey.
Seeing the doubtful look on Xia Lei's face, the master on the black horse next to him quickly explained: "This Vajra Cloud Eagle flies extremely fast and is extremely powerful. It is the overlord of the sky. If we can find the location of the nest, we can find it."
Young eagles are fed since childhood and become the best helpers when they grow up. However, they must not be discovered by the adult Vajra Cloud Eagle, otherwise it will be difficult to save their lives."
In addition to Xia Lei and Odin, there were more than ten people invited from Feihu Martial Arts to escort the caravan. These guys did not receive the same treatment as Xia Lei, but they also had self-awareness, so how could they do such unrealistic things?
Require?
When they saw the figure of the Vajra Cloud Eagle soaring in the sky, their eyes flashed with greed, and several of them whispered to discuss whether to look for the eagle's nest.
Sudden!
The Vajra Cloud Eagle swooped down and rushed towards the dense forest not far away like a sharp arrow.
What followed was a shrill and piercing bird call, definitely not from the Vajra Cloud Eagle, but a black shadow the size of a palm was seen flying towards the caravan from the dense forest in panic, obviously frightened out of fear.
Taking a closer look, the black figure was 90% similar to the myna, with feathers as black as ink, a bunch of black feathers on the top of its head, and green bean-sized eyes full of fear and helplessness.
Xia Lei couldn't help but be stunned. How could an ordinary bird have such a human expression?
Could it be...
In this world, both the immortal power and the soul are bound by inexplicable power. Both he and Odin have lost their magical powers, but they are human beings after all. If they were replaced by Qilin and came here, they would definitely not be able to maintain their human form after transformation.
Directly transforming into the true form of Kirin, what about the creatures that exist here?
This little bird shows such a human expression, you can be sure that it is not an ordinary bird, nor is it a ferocious beast with low intelligence. Maybe it is a monster whose abilities have been restrained!
"Is this... myna spirit?" Xia Lei couldn't help but be curious.
Theoretically, as long as there is sufficient nourishment of spiritual energy, most living creatures can become spirits, but that is just a theory, because it is very difficult for animals and plants that do not understand the method of cultivation to become spirits. They need to be nourished by rich spiritual energy for a long time, and naturally they need enough
Over a long period of time, myna's lifespan is very limited, and it is difficult to evolve to the level of the demon clan in such a short period of time.
But he said that the little thing flapped its wings and flew towards the caravan. It may have been due to excessive fright, and several of its feathers fell off. Unfortunately, no matter how hard it tried, its speed was nowhere near as fast as the King Kong Cloud Eagle, the overlord of the sky.
The Vajra Cloud Eagle will not attack large creatures for no reason, not to mention that Xia Lei is in charge of the caravan, so everyone is not afraid. Instead, everyone stares at the spectacle of the eagle killing the birds.
"You look quite pitiful, come here."
Xia Lei waved to the panicked Bago and took out his long sword from his waist.
There was a hesitant look in a pair of small mung bean-like eyes, which made Xia Lei more certain of his previous speculation. In the end, the myna chose to flee towards him, making an unpleasant cry and following behind him, using Xia Lei as a shield.
As the overlord of the sky, the Vajra Cloud Eagle can spawn wild wolves, and is completely ignored by ordinary humans. When it sees the opponent taking out a weapon, even though it is not as spiritually strong as the Starling, it can still feel the faint murderous aura - this
Humanity is its own enemy.
The yellow-orange-orange color seemed to be poured into gold, and the eagle claws with an almost metallic luster on the horns fiercely clawed at Xia Lei's face.
call out!
The sword flashed and was launched at a speed far faster than the Vajra Cloud Eagle. The two eagle claws were cut off on the spot, and the big eagle soared into the sky with a shrill cry, sprinkling a scarlet rain of blood.
"Do you still want to run away? I haven't tasted roasted eagle yet, go!"
The long sword turned into a stream of light under the bright sun and flew away, surpassing the speed of sound and forming a white air barrier. It arrived first and stabbed the Vajra Cloud Eagle through the abdomen. The sword's force was slightly reduced, but it still rushed several tens of meters.
, and then reluctantly fell under the gravity, and the big eagle fluttered a few times and fell down first.
This intensity...
This is accurate...
This speed...
Once again, the astonishing strength was shown, and the people in the caravan broke out in cold sweat. Immediately, several hired guards rushed to retrieve the Vajra Cloud Eagle and the long sword in order to please him.
After a long period of flattery, seeing Xia Lei's nonchalant response, the few of them did not dare to say anything more, and the caravan continued to move forward.
Of course, they will have another qualification to show off in the future: on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, I walked with the top master of Longyuan Kingdom, and saw with my own eyes hundreds of Vajra Cloud Eagles chopped down by a sword from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters...
An unpleasant and terrible chirping sounded in his ears, and Xia Lei noticed that Bago was actually squatting on his shoulder.
Apart from his shrill scream, the little guy is not ugly in appearance. He is standing on his right shoulder with one paw, combing the feathers on his wings with his hard beak. His eyes look like he is surviving a disaster, and he expresses gloating from time to time.
He looked at the King Kong Cloud Eagle who was randomly stuffed in the caravan, as if to say: Darling... I scared the old man to death, and he still wants to eat me. I will skin you tonight...
"Little thing, you are a demon clan, right?"
Xia Lei smiled strangely and poked it lightly with his finger.
The sparkle in myna's eyes immediately disappeared, and he looked dull, no different from an ordinary bird.
I'll do it!
This little thing is really smart. He can also pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Xia Lei glared at it fiercely: "I thought it was a monster. Since it's not saved, it's useless. Even that stupid eagle will be killed at night."
It's roasted. It's a little smaller, but it still has some meat, right? Hehe..."
Bago couldn't help but tremble, even the extremely fast Vajra Cloud Eagle was run away. Based on its speed, it might have been pierced by a sword before it could even fly out.
At this point, it was more important to save his life first, so he nodded his little head quickly.
"Sure enough, mynas can also become spirits. There are so many wonders in this world." Xia Lei could not help but admire.
"quack……"
Amidst the unpleasant cry, the little thing shook his head desperately, as if trying to deny that he was a myna spirit.
Xia Lei frowned and stared at it for a while, then gently poked it with his finger: "You are not a heron, why are you trying to imitate others by standing on one leg and catching shrimps?"
The little thing's eyes were full of grievance, and he jumped on his shoulder a few times with one leg, as if he wanted to explain something.
Finally, someone discovered some clues, and his eyes fell firmly on the little paw, because there was no second paw there - it only had one leg!
His expression, which was originally as usual, changed drastically. An ancient legend floated in his mind. Could it be...
"Xia Lei, what's wrong? Why are you nagging a little bird?" Odin asked in a funny tone.
"oh……"
He immediately woke up, changed his mind, and chuckled in a voice that only the other party could hear: "This little guy is quite spiritual, and he is a bit similar to the demon clan. I didn't expect that besides us, there is a myna here."
Refined."
Odin looked at the little bug and smiled thoughtfully, which scared Xia Lei half to death. Could this old guy see something wrong?
In fact, he was overly worried. The reason why Odin showed that expression was not because he was in the arms of the myna, but because he was thinking that if this guy was really the myna, would there be more monsters in this world who have their abilities restrained?
?If this is the case, then how could these demon clans with great wisdom never think about contacting the bondage? Therefore, it is very likely that it is impossible to lift the bondage, otherwise they would not wait until now.
That night, dozens of people in the caravan were lucky enough to eat the roasted Vajra Cloud Eagle meat. Even the myna's mouth was full of oil after eating it. People were amazed and flattered Xia Lei, but no one noticed the look in the little guy's eyes.
Changkuai: I finally ate you up and made you crazy!
Day after day, more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the caravan will reach its destination in a few days.
We also ran into a few bandits and bandits on the way, but with Xia Lei and Odin accompanying them, it was in vain no matter how many people there were, they were all killed by swords. However, today's troubles were destined to be different from the past...
