Chapter 210 Rocky Beach
Chapter 210: Rocky Beach
Starting from the post station, there were three or four caravans with Sun Xiao’s caravan. Although they were all relatively small caravans, the number of people in the three or four caravans was quite spectacular, and they looked like two or three hundred people.
After leaving the station and entering the rocky beach, Zhou Wutian could clearly feel that the speed of the carriage was moving a lot faster, and the number of people responsible for the guards around him was twice as high as possible. Everyone remained in a state of high emergency and watched the dangers that could occur at any time. Even Sun Xiao participated in the guards outside the carriage.
However, Zhou Wutian is much better than those outside. Although the carriage is very bumpy, it saves Zhou Wutian from walking by himself. Moreover, after Sun Xiao learned that Zhou Wutian’s identity was unusual, Zhou Wutian would not be able to be alert outside.
"Hmm?!" Zhou Wutian, who was drowsy in the carriage, faintly felt some murderous intent spread out, and then immediately rushed out of the carriage and looked around.
At this time, four or five caravans were moving forward as fast as possible. Although there were huge rocks on both sides, the direction of the caravan was smooth, and the person in charge of the alert did not notice any abnormality.
"What's wrong?" Sun Xiao was shocked when he saw Zhou Wutian suddenly jumping out, but then he immediately regained his calmness and approached Zhou Wutian and asked.
"Someone is ambushing us in front." Zhou Wutian said.
"How far ahead? How many people?" Sun Xiao was frightened when he heard Zhou Wutian say this.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Seeing Sun Xiao's abnormality, Sun Xing leaned over and asked quickly.
"I'm fine. The carriage was upside down just now but I didn't stand firm." Sun Xiao said, "Let the convoy slow down, this section of the road is not easy to walk."
"Okay." Sun Xing scratched his head. It was obvious that the road is so easy to walk now, but why did Sun Xiao say it was hard to walk? However, Sun Xing didn't consider these things and just issued an order.
"Little brother, are you talking seriously?" After seeing Sun Xing leave, Sun Xiao asked hurriedly.
"Well, there are people and horses walking forward with us in front, behind, and on the left and right." Zhou Wutian said, "But these should be just spies, and the most important large troops are all ambushing the road ahead."
"In this case, I will discuss with the bosses of other caravans and we will bypass this path." Sun Xiao said. Obviously, Sun Xiao must have encountered white bandits several times, so he has some of his own judgment on this situation.
"How sure are you to let them listen to you after you go?" Zhou Wutian asked when Sun Xiao was about to leave, "After all, you have no evidence now."
"Don't worry." Sun Xiao said, "I know the bosses of the four caravans we have with us. As long as one person thinks something is wrong, others will basically not have any objections. Those who do our business have no other support. Therefore, I still believe in intuition, not to mention that you have a friend now. You are in your judgment."
"Wait a minute." Sun Xiao was about to leave, but Zhou Wutian grabbed Sun Xiao again and said, "You trust people too easily, be careful."
"Uh?! Well, I have my own judgment after all, don't worry." Sun Xiao said. Obviously, he thought Zhou Wutian was referring to him easily believing Zhou Wutian, so he left and started discussing with other caravans.
"Oh--" Zhou Wutian shook his head. Although Sun Xiao has been walking in the business road for many years and still has the awareness of being a businessman, he obviously does not have as thorough knowledge about people's hearts as Zhou Wutian. Zhou Wutian was born in an imperial family, and how to figure out people's hearts is a necessary science. In addition, Zhou Wutian has a lot of books and has a better understanding of these aspects. At the same time, the extremely high soul realm and the influence of the fire of ten thousand souls have made Zhou Wutian have a unique and keen perception of such things.
The caravan walked too smoothly along the way, and there was almost no danger, and the road he was walking was very smooth. Even if he encountered rocks blocking the road, he quickly found a suitable road. All this went too smoothly and was completely beyond the scope of luck. It was as if someone was leading the entire caravan's nose.
Zhou Wutian vaguely felt that the people in front of him were not ambushing there by luck, but knew that the caravan would definitely pass there, so he was ambushing there. The rocky beach kept quakes, and huge rocks rolled down everywhere, making the trade routes different every day, and the direction of each wave of caravans was different, so these white bandits basically relied on spies riding horses to search for caravans, and then mobilized large troops to rob. The practice of ambushing like this was obviously not in line with the behavioral style of the white bandits, because the probability of encountering a caravan was too low, just like the probability of a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.
Just when Zhou Wutian thought of this, the caravan suddenly changed the direction of his movement, turned around in the other direction, walked out of a gap in the boulders on both sides, and avoided the ambush circle in front of him in the direction of his advance.
"Little brother, we changed our direction. Why did we avoid the ambush circle?" Sun Xiao rushed back and said, "After I went there, they didn't ask why, and immediately agreed and did not encounter any obstacles. After all, we are in this industry and believe in this."
"I'll ask you a question, how did you know that I'm not a White Bandit? I'm deliberately saying this to you, wanting you to fall into a trap?" Zhou Wutian suddenly said, "You trust people too easily."
"Little brother, I know what you are going to say, but I believe my vision is quite accurate. After all, I have been walking for so many years." Sun Xiao said, "Besides, we are uncertain along the way, the route has changed several times, and you have not participated in the lead. Although you said that there was danger ahead this time and we also changed the route, the route we changed is our own decision. You can't decide where we go, right?"
"You are not stupid, you just trust people too easily." Zhou Wutian said with a frown.
"To be honest, I don't believe you completely. After all, you are not from a clear source. Obviously, you are not a person who often walks on trade routes." Sun Xiao said, "But you did nothing along the way and did not affect the caravan route. Everything is under our control, so I have no reason to doubt you."
"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, and I don't care." Zhou Wutian said, "and what I mean is that you trust the other caravans who are in the same place too much."
"Hmm?! What do you mean?" Sun Xiao couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhou Wutian say this. Obviously, he was a little suspicious of Zhou Wutian's words. Before, the reason why Sun Xiao was willing to believe Zhou Wutian was because Zhou Wutian did not influence the caravan, but now, Zhou Wutian seemed to be planning to sow discord, so this aroused Sun Xiao's alertness.
"The caravan turned the direction, but did not avoid the direction of the ambush circle." Zhou Wutian said, "Because there is no difference between going over and going over slantedly."
"Little brother, it seems that you are trying to influence the caravan now." Sun Xiao said vigilantly, "If you do this, it will affect my trust in you."
"Don't trust or not." Zhou Wutian said, "because we no longer have the chance to avoid it."
"What does it mean?" Sun Xiao was shocked when he heard Zhou Wutian say this, and was about to ask, but the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly and almost threw Sun Xiao out of the carriage.
"What's going on?" Sun Xiao calmed down and asked hurriedly.
"Brother, the huge rock in front suddenly collapsed, the road was blocked, and they were trying to find a way." Sun Xing rode his horse and said.
"Everyone is on guard, there are white bandits attacking." Sun Xiao shouted immediately when he heard Sun Xing say this.
Hearing Sun Xiao’s shout, the already tense people immediately entered a state of combat readiness. Not only Sun Xiao, the caravan, but also the other caravans also prepared immediately. All the caravans gathered together in the middle, and a large number of auxiliary offensives were lifted out and blocked the caravan. The practitioners all held the weapons in their hands tightly and were guarding against attacks in any direction. A large number of archers were pulling the bowstrings, staring at the surrounding huge rocks and the positions on the surrounding and up and down the rocks.
However, the preparatory attack did not appear, and the surroundings were still calm, not to mention the white bandits, there was not even a shadow of a bird.
"What's going on? Where are the white bandits?" After all the equipment was built, they did not encounter white bandits, because the bosses of several other caravans gathered over after a while.
"This little brother said that he saw the white bandits, so I immediately called out to make everyone alert." Sun Xiao was a little embarrassed when he saw that there were no white bandits, so he explained to the bosses of several other caravans that gathered over.
"Old Sun, aren't you making a fool of yourself? How old is this kid? You believe him?" The boss of one of the caravans said with a frown. Obviously, he was not happy with Sun Xiao's actions. After all, many heavy bows and arrows on the carriage cost a lot of money every time they deployed. Although those things are not Horcruxes, they are very complicated because of their complex production process and very powerful, so they are also quite expensive.
"That's right, that's right, isn't this a nonsense?" The boss of another caravan also said angrily.
"I want to ask who will lead this trip?" Zhou Wutian ignored these people and asked instead.
"Do you kid understand the rules of this industry? You are so big or small." After seeing through Zhou Wutian's strength, several people said as if they were boss-like. If Zhou Wutian's strength was higher than them, they would naturally treat him politely, but Zhou Wutian only showed that Yao Guang's second floor, and the bosses of the caravans present were all above Yao Guang's fourth floor, so they treated Zhou Wutian in this way.
"You'd better catch the lead person quickly, otherwise you'll blame you if you run away." Zhou Wutian ignored these people and grabbed a bow and arrow, pulled the bow and shot it on the huge rock.
"Ah——" A scream immediately came from the huge rock, and a large stone fell down on the huge rock. As the big rock fell down, there was a figure covering his wound and crawling behind the huge rock.
"White Bandit! Shoot him to death!" Those bosses were naturally not fools. People who were ambushing in ghost places must not be looking at the scenery here. Then they shouted loudly at their respective people. The archers in the caravan themselves were already full of bowstrings. After the order was sent, the overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards the direction the man crawled.
Originally, they were just trying to shoot the person who crawled back to death, but the result of the harvest was unexpected. Because it was impossible that all archers were sharpshooters, although the arrows shot out had a rough range, they were also widely distributed. These arrows that did not hit the target unexpectedly shot the white bandits on several huge rocks, and all of them fell down the rocks. Some of them had quick reactions but could not crawl down, while some of them had slow reactions directly shot into hedgehogs by dense arrows.
Although these white bandits had been ambushed in a relatively good manner, they did not take the initiative and lost so many people at once. Naturally, they knew that the situation was hopeless, so the remaining people fled immediately and ignored the injured companions.
"Huh, I finally got it over." The owner of one of the caravans shouted, "Three, count the people, go and explore, be careful."
"Okay." Someone from the caravan responded, and then a group of people approached carefully behind the huge rock.
"Go and pull all the people who lead the way over to me, don't let them run away." Another caravan owner also gave orders to his people.
As the incident ended, several bosses issued orders in an orderly manner, from organizing the caravan to digging the front road, they were arranged one by one.
"Hey, little brother, I was really embarrassed to sit here just now." After all the matter was arranged, several caravan owners surrounded Zhou Wutian and apologized repeatedly.
"You are kind to you, I can understand your feelings." Zhou Wutian said, "We are tied together now, and I am just doing this to save myself."
"Although this is the case, it is not the case." said the boss of one of the caravans.
"Yes, this time it's really thanks to my little brother." Another boss said, "So many people and so many pairs of eyes, but none of them are as bright as the little brother. It's really in vain that I've been practicing for so many years."
These caravan owners are not pretending to Zhou Wutian here. They have been walking on this trade road for many years and know much more about the White Bandits than Zhou Wutian. As long as they meet the White Bandits, if they can't beat them, they will be dead. Even if they present the caravan's goods, it will be useless, because the White Bandits never leave any survivors.
