"It's thundering! Find a place to take shelter from the rain."
"Hurry, hurry, don't let the goods get wet."
"Be smarter!"
...
Chu Chen just wanted to summon the soldiers and horses in the urn to try out the scene of dozens of "thunder bombs" bombing at the same time.
As a result, there was a loud shouting in my ears,
A caravan happened to be passing by?
Perhaps the thunder he had just cast made the passing caravans think it was thundering and it was going to rain, so they hurriedly found a place to take shelter from the rain.
Chu Chen looked strange, gave up testing the spell for the time being, and found a place to rest.
Not long after, a caravan appeared in his sight.
This caravan has about thirty or forty people, cattle, horses, sheep, donkeys and a large amount of goods. The team is quite large.
Chu Chen swept his consciousness and discovered that most of the escort martial artists accompanying the team had martial arts skills.
Among them, there is even a martial arts master who has achieved great success and is about to become a first-class martial artist.
It is indeed a caravan that dares to go to Wu Snake Mountain, and its strength is quite good.
The caravan group found a naturally sloping mountain wall to take shelter from the rain.
When going out, caravans are generally very vigilant, and they are even more wary of strangers, especially those who are traveling alone and have a good level of cultivation.
Chu Chen knew this, so he didn't show up.
He was too lazy to deal with the other party, so he kept his breath and concentrated, hiding in a corner, waiting for the caravan to go a little further, and then he would leave and find a place to test the spell.
However, God did not fulfill his wishes.
Dark clouds were rolling in the sky, the weather was getting worse and worse, and it was really going to rain.
At this time, the caravan really started to set up camp, preparing to take shelter from the rain by using the naturally sloping stone walls.
"This is really..."
Chu Chen felt depressed and wondered whether he should leave voluntarily and change places.
He doesn't have a superior breath-holding stealth spell.
If you hold your breath and don't move, the other party won't notice.
Once you leave voluntarily, you may be able to detect it immediately with the keen sense of a well-refined martial artist.
When the time comes, it will be really troublesome to have to explain one or two things.
Chu Chen was thinking about it.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept over, whistling and rustling the leaves.
Huh? There’s something evil about it!
Chu Chen was extremely sensitive to evil spirits and evil spirits, and he immediately smelled the evil smell from the strong wind.
At this moment, Chu Chen suddenly became interested.
Wu Snake Mountain also belongs to Xin'an County, and it is his job to conquer demons.
If the caravan is invaded and attacked by monsters, he can immediately show up to kill the monsters and help justice.
At that time, another meritorious deed will be achieved.
However, things backfired.
The monster attack he expected on the caravan did not happen.
On the other side, apart from being a little panicked at the beginning, the caravan quickly settled down. Whether it was the coolies or the escort warriors, everyone seemed quite calm and did not panic due to the strange strong wind.
Did this caravan not notice the monster approaching?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be unnoticeable.
The caravans that travel north and south have the most experience in this area, and they cannot be so ignorant and ignorant.
Chu Chen was a little puzzled and couldn't figure out the reason.
"Huhuhu~"
The evil wind is getting stronger and stronger, like a whimpering sound, and it keeps ringing "huhuhuhu".
Not long after, the evil wind came in with a black mist, covering the entire caravan.
At this critical moment, the caravan did not panic at all, calmly waiting for the evil wind and black mist to hit.
"Good guys, they didn't realize it later, they were clearly foresight!"
Chu Chen was extremely surprised.
Seeing this, he finally understood.
This caravan has communicated with the monsters in the mountains for a long time, and they have dealt with each other many times. The two parties seem to have a tacit understanding.
Caravan trading with monsters in the mountains?
Or pay tribute and tolls to it?
Chu Chen was very curious.
He heard his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, mention that many caravans would prepare tolls for the monsters along the way, spending money to eliminate disasters, and the two sides would not interfere with each other. Hello, I am ok, everyone is ok.
Chu Chen had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
In this kind of thing, you and I are willing to do it, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Generally, the Ghosts and Gods Department will not interfere and cannot control it at all.
Unless someone is involved in dealings with the demon criminals wanted by the imperial court and Immortal Court, then the interest in the matter will change and he will have to take action.
Chu Chen didn't want to cause trouble and wanted the caravan and monsters to leave as soon as possible.
However, he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble came to him.
"You bastard human race, I let you pass by so well, but you actually want to murder me?"
Amidst the evil wind and black mist, a roar rolled out, making people's ears hurt.
Immediately, a bloody mouth poked out from the black mist.
It was a snake demon.
Judging from the terrifying aura emanating from his body, it is obvious that he is of high quality.
I'm afraid the entire caravan combined won't be enough for people to eat.
The face of the middle-aged Taoist martial cultivator headed by the caravan changed drastically, and he quickly explained:
"Great Immortal, how dare I try to harm you? Please take the tribute yourself."
"You still dare to quibble when things get tough!"
The monsters in the black mist were furious, but they ignored the caravan members and turned their heads to look into the dense forest.
"Humph, little Taoist priest, you have been secretly watching for so long. Why, your grandpa's cultivation level is too high and he doesn't dare to come out?"
Chu Chen was stunned and speechless.
The snake demon actually discovered him.
It seems that he really still lacks a breath-containing stealth spell.
Otherwise, it will often be difficult to do things well.
There is a spell in "Dijinji" that can hide one's breath and conceal one's form, called "Egg Yolk Substitution".
He is learning this skill on his own. Without the hand-in-hand hands of the Heart Temple, he will not be able to practice it so quickly.
At present, there is still a little time to master the heat.
If someone finds out, trouble will come to your door, and you can't hide even if you want to.
As a result, Chu Chen cast a spell [Borrowing Ground to Increase Steps], and in a flash, he landed in front of the caravan and the snake demon.
Wearing a green Taoist robe, his figure is erratic and quite chic.
As soon as they saw Chu Chen appear, the caravan suddenly caused a commotion, their faces changed drastically, and they were panicked.
When the evil wind hit before, the expressions of the caravan members did not change much, but now, seeing Chu Chen, a Taoist priest who is also from the human race, appear, the expressions of the caravan members were very exciting.
He was both surprised, panicked and alert, with a hint of fear, as if Chu Chen was the real vicious monster.
This weird scene made Chu Chen a little bit dumbfounded.
It's all about the same thing. The caravan is not afraid of monsters, but it is actually afraid of Taoist priests who are also human beings.
On the other side, the snake demon in the black mist reacted even more. It spat out snakes in its bloody mouth, hissed, uttered human words, pointed at the caravan and roared:
"You bastards, you still dare to say that you didn't collude with anyone to murder this great immortal. You even attracted the stinky Taoist priests from the Ghosts and Gods Division, and you still dare to say that you have no evil intentions."
The face of the middle-aged martial artist who led the caravan changed drastically, and he quickly explained:
"Great Immortal, we don't know this mage. We didn't call him here. Don't get me wrong."
However, the explanation given by the middle-aged martial artist seemed rather feeble.
The snake demon didn't believe it at all and roared angrily:
"Go away! I believe you are a ghost. The Department of Ghosts and Gods is here to handle the case. You bastard, how dare you harm me."
