Along with the sound of horses' hooves, there were noises of people and the sound of wheels rolling on the ground. Guo Shier said, "We haven't seen a large group of people along the way. Is it a caravan or an army?"
Aizec said, "It doesn't matter if it's a caravan or an army, as long as they don't provoke us. If they dare to provoke us, I'll make them die."
Flames flickered. It was a long line formed by torches. Soon, dozens of horses galloped over and stopped about ten meters away from them. Someone shouted, "Hey, you guys come over here!"
Guo Shier sat in front of the bonfire and sighed. "They never let people live in peace …" He turned around and said, "We're just passers-by. We won't interfere with your actions." Then he waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Aizec sneered. "They won't let us go. Humph, their tone is not right." With his sensitivity, he immediately sensed their hostility.
Someone shouted, "A few of you, bring them here!"
Guo Shier scratched his head and said, "Aizec, don't kill them. It's enough to teach them a lesson."
Aizec said, "Why? They were the ones who provoked us. If you kill them, then kill them. Why be polite to them? Even if you don't kill them, they won't be polite to you. "
Guo Shier could only smile bitterly. It was impossible to reason with Aizec. He said, "I said I won't kill them, so I won't kill them. Do you still want to eat barbecue …" He really had no choice but to use this to curb Aizec's killing intent.
Unexpectedly, Aizec gave in. He said, "What does this have to do with barbecue? Okay, okay, I won't kill them. Damn it, watch me! "After saying that, he rushed out.
Several horses rushed over. Before they could ask, there was a burst of noise, horses neighing, and people roaring. In a few seconds, the people who rushed over were lying on the ground with their horses. Then, Aizec pounced on the large group of people and horses, roaring and crashing into them.
Guo Shier stood up and watched helplessly. He didn't want to have a conflict with the locals at all, but their overbearing attitude was really annoying. He couldn't communicate with them even if he wanted to.
Aizec was a humanoid talisman beast. His aura terrified the horses to the extreme, so when he rushed into the group of horses, the entire group was in chaos and he instantly knocked down more than a dozen people. Someone shouted madly, "Enemy attack, enemy attack …"
Then he heard Aizec roar, "Motherf * cker! Motherf * cker! Get down! "
Torches flew everywhere, warhorses neighed, and cries of fear and the sound of people falling to the ground filled the air. "Bastard, who do you think you are … Disturbing my rest, unforgivable!" Ezekiel cursed.
A horse was sent flying, and a man was thrown into the air. Under the light of the torches, he looked like a ghost dancing in the air. Guo Shier crossed his arms and said, "A Handsome Old Man, I reckon … this road won't be easy. With Aizec, this bad-tempered fellow, the locals won't communicate with us at all."
A Handsome Old Man laughed from the altar. "It's fine. In the face of absolute power, everything is empty …"
Sure enough, someone yelled, "Stop! Stop! "
Guo Shier also shouted, "Aizec, come back!"
Aizec flew back and said, "Weak, really weak … I find it strange. Why are such weak people so arrogant? Aren't they looking for a beating?" In their world, when encountering an unfamiliar mutated talisman beast, the first thing to do was not to provoke it, but to figure out the opponent's strength before making a decision. However, the people here were full of arrogance the moment they met. It was not wrong to be beaten up. If not for Guo Shier stopping them, Aizec would have killed all of them.
Guo Shier raised his voice and said, "Someone, come here!"
Very quickly, a person came over, trembling with fear. He said in a threatening manner, "You … what do you want?"
Guo Shier found it funny and said, "Hey, what do I want? I was resting by the river for the night, and you guys came over with an unreasonable look. You tell me … what do I want? I want to f * ck your mother's head! A bunch of bastards! "Just as he said that, he couldn't help but burst with anger.
That person came closer. Guo Shier suppressed his anger and asked, "Who are you people?"
Aizec snorted and sat down. He said, "A bunch of idiots."
That person was dressed like a hunter. He said, "We are hunters from Edroad Castle. We followed the caravan … preparing to go to the Duchy of Aike and protect the caravan …" He secretly sized up the two people and was extremely shocked. The two of them were wearing gorgeous robes that he had never seen before. Furthermore, the two of them looked very different from the locals.
Guo Shier asked, "What's your name?"
That person carefully said, "I am Wu Tuqi, a Barbarian Spirit Warrior." He was a rank 2 Barbarian Spirit expert and was at the bottom of the experts in this world.
Guo Shier asked, "Wu Tuqi, are you the leader of these people?"
Wu Tuqi said, "I'm not the leader. We were hired by the Auland Caravan …" He looked at Aizec with fear. This person was too strong. They had more than 50 Barbarian Spirit Warriors, but he had defeated more than half of them. If he hadn't held back, they would have all been defeated soon.
Guo Shi 'er said, "Go and call the leader of the caravan here." He sat down with a flourish.
Wu Tuqi bowed, then turned and left. They were stunned by Ezek's attacks. His storm-like attacks made these Barbarian Spirit experts feel the threat of death.
Aizec was puzzled. "Shier, what are you doing?"
Soon, an old man walked over. Behind him were a few Barbarian Spirit experts. All of them trembled as they walked to the bonfire. Guo Shier asked, "Are you the leader of the caravan?"
The old man's expression was ugly. He walked in front of Guo Shier and said, "I am the leader of the Auland Caravan. We were rude earlier. As the leader … I apologize." He bowed.
Guo Shier waved his hand and said, "Sit." He didn't want to pursue the matter. Even if he killed them all, it would be useless. Besides, he wasn't a homicidal maniac who liked to kill people for fun.
The old man heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that they would meet an unreasonable person, especially if the other party was strong enough to wipe out their caravan. Even though the Auland Caravan had hired 70 to 80 returning hunters and 100 guards, he didn't think that they could deal with the two people in front of him.
"I'm Ao Duoba."
Guo Shier asked, "Odoba, are you going to the Duchy of Aike?"
Ao Duoba said, "Yes. We've collected some fur, ores, and herbs from Edlu Castle. We're going to Edlu Castle every year. After a winter's worth of purchases, we'll go back." He gave a simple explanation.
Guo Shier nodded and said, "It's not close to Aike. How long will it take? We're also going to Aike. "
Ao Duoba said, "If everything goes smoothly, it'll take 50 days. It won't be easy because we'll have to go through the Calabazar Trail … Xiba Plains." Calabazar translated meant danger. Not only was the terrain dangerous, but there were also bandits and robbers who specialized in robbing caravans. There were also hunters who came back from the border. After a period of hunting, these people usually had many good things on them.
The Xiba Plains were dangerous because part of it was swampy. There were many ferocious beasts and grassland bandits.
Guo Shier said, "Then … aren't you in danger?" He didn't think highly of the caravan's strength at all.
Ao Duoba laughed wryly. The path was difficult and dangerous, but the more they walked, the more experience they gained. Plus, after fighting with bandits many times, they knew that as long as they paid a small price, they could basically pass. Small groups of bandits and robbers were usually dealt with like this. Unless they were extremely unlucky and ran into a large group, they would fight with their lives on the line.
In the most dangerous areas, there would often be a few caravans working together. It was much safer that way. So Ao Duoba wasn't worried about the caravan's safety. Instead, he couldn't see through the two people in front of him. He didn't know what kind of existence could beat dozens of hunters so badly.
Ao Duoba suddenly thought of something. He remembered what Guo Shier had said. They were also going to Aike. With their strength, if they could join the caravan, the journey would be much safer. He hesitated because he didn't know what the two were doing. He said, "You … going to Aike, do you plan to join a caravan?"
Guo Shier said, "We're outsiders. We don't know what kind of caravan we're joining."
Ao Duoba let out a sigh of relief. Guo Shier directly admitted that they were outsiders. It wasn't that there were no outsiders here, but it was very rare. He made up his mind and said, "If that's the case, can I invite you to come with me?" If there were two super masters joining them, the journey would be much safer.
Guo Shier originally wanted to join a caravan. It wasn't for safety, but to understand the world.
Aizec was about to speak, but Guo Shier stopped him. He knew the guy wouldn't say anything nice, so he said, "It's not a problem to join …"
Ao Duoba was overjoyed. He immediately said, "Ten pieces of gold per person." He took out a small bag of gold. It was the universal gold nugget he'd seen in Adelu Castle. Twenty pieces of gold was a very small bag. He handed it to Guo Shier. This was his biggest right. A piece of gold was very valuable, enough for a person to live for a few days.
Guo Shier didn't refuse. He reached out and took it. "Alright, we'll go together tomorrow."
…
The next morning, Guo Shier got on a horse. However, Aizec still couldn't ride a horse. He couldn't even sit in a carriage. As soon as he got close, any horse would go limp, tremble, and sweat profusely. Aizec was so angry that he kept howling. In the end, he could only follow the caravan and run after it alone.
In order to obtain information, Guo Shier dismounted after riding for a while and sat in a large carriage with Ao Duoba. Only then did he carefully size up the leader of the caravan.
Ao Duoba looked to be in his sixties. He had a white beard and a bald spot on his head. The rest of his hair was tied into a small braid. He wore fine linen clothes and soft leather armor. He had a short sword at his waist and a long-handled crescent-shaped axe at his side. He was also a Barbarian Spirit expert.
The carriage was piled full of furs and fastened to the carriage with leather ropes. It was a large carriage pulled by two horses. The wheels were made of solid wood and had a steel ring. The furs on the carriage had not been processed and had a strong stench. Ao Duoba personally drove the carriage while Guo Shier sat beside him.
