She thought these escorts wanted to invite her to travel with them, but unexpectedly they just told Shi Yingxue not to be so kind. There were many ghosts and monsters on the road, some were true and kind, and some were just acting.
In a situation like theirs, if Shi Yingxue sees him again, it's best not to help him. If he encounters someone who actively provokes him, he should kill him if he should. Don't be soft-hearted.
Shi Yingxue felt curious and asked why.
Only then did these bodyguards tell Shi Yingxue the whole story.
It turns out that the mountain roads in this area are particularly rugged and difficult to navigate. It has been a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack since ancient times. In addition, the surrounding cities do not pay much attention to this area, and the people there are even more mixed. Various thieves and bandits have established themselves.
The king is hiding in this mountain and specializes in killing people and stealing goods.
In addition to bandits, there are also many demons and monsters running rampant. It is said that there are soul-eating monsters in this mountain range, which makes people shudder.
Shi Yingxue calculated the time when he went out, and estimated that he was already hundreds of miles away from Yuping Mountain. Along the way, Yu Jian found that there were mountains in front and behind him. He thought it was inaccessible, but unexpectedly it turned out to be another den of thieves.
"How does it compare to the bandits in Hungry Wolf Mountain?"
These people looked at each other and said they didn't know what Hungry Wolf Mountain was.
However, they probably talked about the deeds of various bandit leaders in the area, and they were actually not much different from Hungry Wolf Mountain.
Why would anyone want to take this difficult and dangerous journey?
Several escorts looked at each other, and one of them, a rather honest-looking man, said while bandaging the wound on his arm: "Young knight, you look young and promising, and you have special skills. We don't have any special skills."
People who can't stay too far from home can only do this desperate business!
In fact, it is because various gangsters are running amok on this mountain that most people dare not go. However, this is the only way to the northern ports such as Yongzhou City and Yuping Mountain, and there is always cargo.
Our family also has no money, and we have seniors and juniors, so we carry big knives to guard the escorts. We live a life of licking blood from the knife edge. If we go to this escort once a year, as long as we can bring back our lives, the commission will be paid.
It’s enough to feed and clothe the whole family for a year.”
Yingxue also knows how ordinary people live. If they were rich, who would be willing to live such a miserable life?
She took out half of her silver from her storage ring and was about to perform a good deed. Unexpectedly, the men refused: "We only take our own share of the money. Saving our lives is already a great favor."
Sir, we have all the hands and feet, how can we take the young hero's money! Take it back quickly!"
This made Shi Yingxue feel a little surprised.
Originally, she just came out to relax and travel around, but these honest and honest escorts aroused the feeling of protection in her heart. Canghai Jiange doesn't want to drink blood, so drink it.
"Everyone, can I go with you? I am traveling around the world and I am missing such a good opportunity for experience."
Shi Yingxue's words were half true and half false, but the look on her face was still very sincere.
All the escorts were very surprised that Shi Yingxue wanted to join, but she was indeed a great help. The strength she showed just now was stronger than all of them combined. If Shi Yingxue could always be with them,
At least their escort trip was already 100% sure.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Shi Yingxue was originally dressed in white and was very eye-catching. In order to reduce the attention of the bandits, these escorts wore yellow-green clothes during the day and changed to black at night, trying to blend in with the surrounding environment.
Shi Yingxue also dressed up like them, with a little yellowish gray on her face, and her appearance no longer looked so eye-catching.
These people were going to Yongzhou City. After climbing over dozens of mountains in front, the road on the left was going to Yongzhou City, and the one on the right was going to Yuping Mountain.
Everything was fine for the first few days, but something happened on the night of the fourth day.
Because Shi Yingxue doesn't really need sleep, she usually does the vigil at night, and her partner in vigil is the honest and honest man.
The two escort vehicles had been covered with leaves and weeds, and a few people were sleeping under the trees.
In order to avoid the wild beasts in the mountains, a few people lit a fire in the resting place, and because they did not want to attract anyone's attention, the fire was lighted very small. Once they heard the sound of someone coming, they would put it out immediately.
Shi Yingxue hugged Yi Rushuang and watched quietly. The man didn't talk to her, but looked at Yi Rushuang with curiosity, and occasionally asked Shi Yingxue if she wanted to eat dry food.
The short time we spent together made Shi Yingxue feel very fresh. There was a kind of vitality with fireworks in mortals, which made her find it interesting.
The warmth brought by the campfire made her feel a little mentally tired, but it was not to the point where she needed to rest. Her five senses were still much better than those of these mortals.
But this time she didn't notice the enemy invasion.
When Shi Yingxue sensed danger, a still sleeping escort was tied around the neck by black vines that came out of nowhere and suffocated to death.
And the black vines came from all directions, and even the bonfire beside Shi Yingxue suddenly became much weaker, and the firelight turned into a faint blue.
No, that's not a black vine.
Shi Yingxue was very familiar with this smell.
This is ghost fog.
The haunting thing!
No wonder human monks hate ghost cultivators so much. The practice of these ghost cultivators is originally against the laws of heaven. They do all kinds of evil and are not afraid of thunder. How dare they kill mortals at will?
The peach wood sword is something that Martin can't leave behind, so she doesn't have it with her. However, since she was attacked by a ghost cultivator last time, she has become more cautious and has brought a lot of glutinous rice and cinnabar with her. At this time, the sky is covered with ghost mist.
Weaving a large net, Shi Yingxue took out a handful of glutinous rice and threw it on several people: "Get up quickly!"
As soon as she shouted, the escorts immediately got up.
They were saddened by the death of their companions, but this was not the time to lament and remember them. Shi Yingxue frowned, and they did not know what kind of enemy they were facing. They took out their weapons one after another and tried to calm down.
Get into a defensive formation back to back.
"Tsk, why are you such an annoying thing?"
A sinister male voice floated out from the darkness, with even the slightest hint of pressure.
Shi Yingxue felt her ears tingle slightly when she heard it, but it was not too strong. She expected that the other party's realm was at the same level as hers, but a little higher than hers.
Mortals would definitely die if they faced ghost cultivators. Shi Yingxue didn't care so much. She took out a short-term protective talisman and threw it at several bodyguards. The thin yellow paper unfolded and exploded into two pieces in an instant.
