When the Flaming Horn tribesmen who were waiting for an ambush on the route that the Flaming Horn tribesmen often took were about to lose their patience. While some people were chasing after the trail in the forest, there was another group of people who took another route.
The people in metal armor walked in a line. The people at the front were riding tall horses. These horses were of a carefully selected breed and had been well taken care of. They were very spirited. Their big hooves stomped on the ground, making 'peng peng peng' sounds. Even the stones on the road were easily crushed. The horses galloped together like rolling thunder.
The people riding on the tall horses held bronze spears in their hands. The spears glowed with a cold light. Coupled with the cold face of the person holding the spear, the people passing by could feel a chill from afar. The coldest winter had passed and the temperature had risen a lot, but when they saw these people, they still couldn't help but shiver and feel a chill down their backs.
Because people often walked on this road, there were fewer weeds and no trees in the way. The ground was flat, making it convenient for carriages and horses. The tribe's trading teams often came and went on this road. However, the width of this road was limited. When the caravans passed by, they had to rearrange their formation. It was impossible for two teams to pass at the same time. Unless one side avoided it and walked on the side with grass, rocks, and pits.
In front of them was a traveling caravan from an unknown tribe. The people riding horses at the front of the caravan squeezed their horses' bellies, shook the spears in their hands, and rushed forward with a whoosh. The sharp spears pierced through the air, and the sound was like the whimpering of the cold wind, piercing the people in front of them.
"Dodge! Dodge!" The people in the caravan shouted and drove the carriages and beasts to the side. The people also hurried to the side. They could only dodge when faced with such a group.
Seeing this group, the people in the caravan felt a sense of fear. No matter how much courage they had, it would be completely extinguished when faced with such a group. Under such an attack, they could only dodge.
The cold air hit them in the face. Before the spears reached them, the murderous aura was already there. If they didn't dodge, they would definitely face these people.
They came too quickly. Because the caravan was in a hurry to dodge, a wooden cart piled with goods was almost overturned by a rock. Some goods fell to the ground, but the people in the caravan didn't care about the fallen goods. A young man in the group wanted to pick them up, but an elder grabbed his clothes and dragged him to the side.
Rumble —
The person on the horse had already arrived. The spear that was thrust out with a slightly cold air, brushing past the side of the young man who was being dragged by the elder. His exposed skin was scraped by the murderous air current, causing goosebumps to appear all over his body. The closer he got, the more he could feel how terrifying they were. This kind of aura, this kind of impact that wanted to sweep everything away, made the young man, who was struggling to pick up the dropped items, freeze like a stone. It seemed that if he moved even a little more, he would be smashed into pieces by this kind of aura.
To these people who were rushing over on their horses, everything in their way, whether it was a person or an object, was their enemy.
Anyone who stood in the way would be killed! The object was destroyed!
The spear in the hands of the person at the front suddenly tilted downwards. The body of the spear shook along with the wrist of the person holding the spear, making a strange whining sound, like the low growl of a fierce beast before biting.
Bang!
The goods that fell on the ground were swept to the side by the spear head. Because the spear head was swung with too much force, it even had a tearing and destructive power. The linen cloth wrapped around the goods made a tearing sound, and the goods also scattered in the air, breaking into pieces of linen cloth and then drifting down.
However, the people who were hiding at the side didn't dare to make a sound at this time. They didn't dare to check how many of the dropped goods were still in good condition, because once they got close, they would be mercilessly stabbed there. With that kind of aura and force, if a person bumped into it, where the spear head stabbed, it would be broken. It was unknown whether they could even save their lives.
After the horse riders rushed over, the ground was still trembling slightly, and the dust on the dirt road was raised high. The group behind didn't immediately come over, but stopped for a while, waiting for the smoke and dust to be blown away by the wind before the group leisurely passed by.
During this period of time before the group arrived, the people who were hiding at the side didn't dare to set foot on this road, so they could only wait! When this group of people all passed by, they could then walk on the road. Otherwise, the scene just now would repeat itself. Didn't they see that the people who rushed over all stopped and stared at them? One of the people on the horse even held a spear and made a poking gesture at them, meaning to move away. If they dared to step on it, they would die!
This was strength! If they were weaker than others, they could only stand aside.
When the group of people with the shining armor and several giant beasts obediently pulled the carts away, the caravan at the side of the road trembled on the road.
"Those people just now, who were they?" Someone in the caravan asked.
"Didn't you see the words on the flag?" An elder said, "Those people should be from the Royal City."
"Those nobles? With their formation, what are they going to do? "This kind of group could destroy a city, which unlucky tribe provoked them? In the past, it was rare to see this group of nobles being serious.
"Who knows." The caravan once again set off, but the scene just now became a topic of discussion. Along the way, they discussed who those people were going to deal with. If they passed by a city, they would have to ask.
On the other side, in the group that had just passed by, there were several carts pulled by giant beasts. The carriages were covered with patterned silk cloth.
One of the carriages was pulled by a huge white, multi-horned rhinoceros-like beast. There were a few people in luxurious clothing sitting on a cushion in the middle. There was a young man sitting on the cushion, but the long hair hanging down from his temples was already silver-white.
At this time, the young man had a square wooden plate in front of him. On the plate were some diagrams that intersected with each other. Seven smooth white jade stones were placed on the plate, each of them glowing with a glossy light.
"Yi Zong, what did the divination say?" A young girl wearing exquisite leather armor couldn't help but ask.
The man sitting on the cushion looked away from the plate and raised his hand to point in a direction. "Over there, the Yanjiao people are still in the forest. They haven't stopped."
"What are the Yanjiao people doing?!" The girl in leather armor sat down dejectedly and looked in the direction Yi Zong was pointing. Yi Zong's divination skills were among the best in the Yi family. No one doubted his results.
"Could it be that they were scared by us? They were so scared that they moved. Maybe they're looking for a new place to settle down. But those tribesmen like to hide in the forest, "another young man in the carriage said.
Thinking of the complicated terrain and dense forest, as well as the possibility of encountering all kinds of poisonous insects, ferocious beasts, and even king beasts, they weren't stupid enough to kill their way into the forest. That was why they leaked the information from Yi Zong's divination to other people who were interested. As long as the Yanjiao people dared to come out of the forest, they could directly kill them!
It was best to let those people force the Yanjiao people to a remote place first. After the others had exhausted the Yanjiao forces, they could carry out the final cleanup.
Fire crystals? Salt? Given the character of the Yanjiao people, they wouldn't give them away so easily. They would definitely keep them in their hands. At most, a small part of them would be taken away by those who chased after them first. Even if all the fire crystals and salt were taken away by those who chased after them first, they would only feel a little regret. After all, their main target this time was only the Yanjiao people. These people wanted to use the Yanjiao matter to gain merit!
Since the fire seed disappeared, the cohesiveness of the tribes gradually weakened. There were scattered people. These people came from different tribes, and because of their interests or hobbies, they gathered together to form new forces. Among these forces, there were many who specialized in robbery or assassination. For example, the Green Peak, who were famous for robbing, or the Night Clan, who were famous for taking bribes to assassinate.
Once these forces were attracted by a huge profit, they would become hungry wolves that smelled blood. They would pounce on the scent.
"Are the Yanjiao people really that scary?" someone asked.
"I know that. When that Yanjiao person sent the head of the Lu Family flying with one blow, I was sitting in the tower at the city gate. At that time …"
The young man rattled on and on about what had happened. "I heard that our ancestors had wanted to destroy the Yanjiao people for a long time. But the Yanjiao people were always hiding in the forest. Gradually, we forgot about this tribe. Only every time the Yanjiao people cause trouble, we remember."
"I heard that the Yanjiao people can control beast kings? Is that true? "The girl in leather armor asked curiously.
"You believe that?!"
"Why not? Isn't that what everyone says? No, I have to call the head of the Fox Tribe over and ask him. " The girl with the wallet pulled the curtain aside and gave some instructions to the people outside. Not long after, the chief of the Fox Tribe was brought over from the carriage behind.
Once in the car, the head of the Fox Tribe felt uncomfortable. He used to be the head of the tribe, the boss. But now that he had come to the Royal City, he felt inferior to these young people. After all, they were the best of the six noble families in the Royal City.
"Greetings, young masters," the head of the Fox Tribe said, suppressing his discomfort.
"You're the head of the Fox Tribe? I heard that you were slaughtered by the Yanjiao people? "the girl in leather armor asked.
Veins popped on the head of the Fox Tribe. What did she mean by "slaughtered by the Yanjiao people"? Weren't the people who had been brought into the Royal City human? Also, what was with that tone of disdain? Was she looking down on them?
Clenching his fists, the head of the Fox Tribe suppressed his anger and sighed. "The Yanjiao people are indeed dangerous."
With that, the head of the Fox Tribe repeated what he had prepared. He left out the details of the beast so that it sounded as if the Yanjiao people could really control the beast.
"Alright, you can go now. I got it." The girl in leather armor waved him away as if shooing away a fly.
The head of the Fox Tribe took a deep breath and jumped out of the car.
After the head of the Fox Tribe left, the girl's expression darkened. "He's lying!"
"I told you, the Yanjiao people aren't as scary as the rumors say. They're just exaggerating in order to deal with them. As for what happened at the city gate, it must be some secret technique. That Shao Xuan guy can't be that powerful. " A young man leaned against the side with his arms crossed. "Besides, so what if the head of the Fox Tribe is lying? As long as we get what we want."
Flap flap flap!
Outside the car, there was the sound of flapping wings.
The people inside perked up. They lifted the curtains and let in a striped bird. There was a thin roll of animal skin in its claws.
Carefully, the bird unfurled the skin and read the words on it.
After reading it, Yi Zong said, "Don't count on Green Peak. They've leaked Yanjiao's general location to the Night Clan."
