Zhao Hai sat quietly on the side of the cart with his eyes closed. He seemed to be resting. In fact, everything that happened around him couldn't be hidden from him. Now that it was his turn to keep watch, the others had already gone to rest.
They had a total of 20 people and were divided into five groups. Each group would keep watch for about two hours. This way, everyone would be able to get enough rest and wouldn't be too tired tomorrow.
Zhao Hai and the others were the first group to keep watch. This was very advantageous for Zhao Hai and the others. This was because they only needed to keep watch for two hours before they could rest.
Time passed by little by little. Two hours quickly passed by. Zhao Hai and the others woke up the second group of people to rest.
In fact, the so-called rest was just meditation. Although it was a bit tiring, it couldn't be helped. They earned this kind of hard-earned money.
As Zhao sat there, his spiritual force entered the space. Inside the space, he rested well. This was tantamount to sleeping, so these days, he rested better than the others.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Hai was suddenly awakened. He opened his eyes and looked around. Then he immediately communicated with the trees around him. When he did, Zhao Hai immediately knew that they were surrounded.
Zhao Hai immediately surrounded them and loudly said, "Wake up, there are enemies!"
Along with Zhao Hai's roar, the people in the camp woke up. Yuan Jing also jumped up and looked around. However, he didn't see any enemies. Even the people on watch didn't see any enemies. They looked at Zhao Hai in confusion.
Yuan Jing looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "Master Calm Sea, are you joking? There are enemies here. "
Zhao Hai replied, "No, there are enemies. They're about to arrive. We're already surrounded."
At this time, Shopkeeper Wu also woke up. He looked around and then frowned as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Master, aren't you thinking too much? This road is very safe. Where are the enemies?"
As soon as his voice fell, a ray of light shot towards him from the darkness. Zhao Hai, who had been paying attention to his surroundings, moved and appeared beside Shopkeeper Wu. He waved the Buddhist staff in his hand and attacked the ray of light.
"Dang!" There was a loud sound. The sound spread far and wide in the silent night. Everyone's eyes lit up. Then, their expressions changed. Yuan Jing shouted, "Be careful! Enemy attack! Protect the carriage!"
"Hehehehe!" A strange laughter was heard. Then a voice said, "Good. I didn't think that you useless monks would be able to find us. It's rare, it's really rare." Following this voice, a group of people came out from the forest and the road and surrounded them. There were more than fifty of them, and they all held weapons in their hands. They were all dressed in black, and their faces were also covered by black cloth, so it was impossible to see what they looked like.
Yuan Jing looked at these people with an unsightly expression and said in a deep voice, "Friends from which path are you from? May I know how we monks have offended you? You need to think carefully. This caravan belongs to the Spirit Mountain Trading Company. If you dare to touch it, the Spirit Mountain Trading Company won't let you off. "
"Hahaha, even if we touch it, who would know? Don't look around. In Sealed Sword City, no matter what you buy, no one will investigate its origin. As long as these things enter Sealed Sword City, you don't need to worry about being found out. As for you stinky monks, just wait to die."
Yuan Jing looked at the person who spoke. This person was also wearing black clothes. However, his body was very fat, like a big ball. It was very strange.
Seeing this person's body, Yuan Jing couldn't help but be stunned. Then his expression changed. He couldn't help but shout, "Fat Wolf, you're Fat Wolf? Fat Wolf, we have no enmity with you. Why are you doing this to us? "
When the fat person heard Yuan Jing, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he pulled off the black cloth on Yuan Jing's face and said with a strange smile, "I said that this thing is useless. I didn't expect you to be so smart. Hahaha, Yuan Jing, you didn't think that you would have a day like this, right? When you stole our business, didn't you think that you would have a day like this? You're a monk. Instead of cultivating in the Zen Garden, you came out to steal our business. How hateful. Today, I'll let you die without a burial place. "
"Fat Wolf, what do you mean by this? Do you dare to touch our Spirit Mountain Trading Company's goods? "This time, it was Shopkeeper Wu who spoke. Obviously, he also knew this person called Fat Wolf.
Although Zhao Hai didn't know this person called Fat Wolf, he was able to guess his identity from the conversation between Yuan Jing and Fat Wolf. This Fat Wolf must be the leader of a group of Rogue Cultivators in Sealed Sword City. They also relied on escorts to make a living. However, Yuan Jing stole their business. Because of this, these fellows held a grudge and attacked them tonight.
Fat Wolf looked at Shopkeeper Wu and coldly said, "Old Wu, you're not that great. If it wasn't for the Spirit Mountain Trading Company, then I would've already killed you. You old miser, every time you escort someone, you pay the least. This time, you actually gave your business to these stinky monks for food and drinks. Naturally, I can't let you live."
Shopkeeper Wu's face was livid with anger. Perhaps in his opinion, what he did was not wrong. He was a businessman, so naturally, he would pursue the maximization of profits. Naturally, he would save as much as he could. However, he had never thought that he would be attacked like this tonight just because he wanted to save some costs.
Zhao Hai looked at Fat Wolf and the others. These people who came with Fat Wolf didn't take off the black cloth on their faces. However, these people's strength wasn't weak. The weakest of them had reached the Qi Refinement Seventh Stage. Moreover, they all had the smell of blood on them. Obviously, they had killed many people.
The thing that was shot at Shopkeeper Wu was a dart. Although it was said that ordinary cultivators wouldn't use it, there were still some low-level cultivators who would use it. The dart that was shot was actually an artifact with the ability to break Qi.
The so-called ability to break Qi was actually to break a person's protective shield. Although Yuan Jing and the others weren't very strong, there were still some people who could release their Qi and form a protective shield around their body. Ordinary attacks wouldn't be able to break that shield. The dart could only be regarded as a low-level artifact. It was something that could break a person's protective shield. Among low-level cultivators, it was a relatively vicious hidden weapon.
These people used such a vicious hidden weapon to attack Shopkeeper Wu. Moreover, Yuan Jing also recognized Fat Wolf's identity. Today's matter couldn't be settled easily. Therefore, Zhao Hai was very careful to pay attention to Fat Wolf and the others.
Just as Fat Wolf and Yuan Jing were talking, they had completely surrounded the entire convoy. Now, even if they wanted to rush out, it was impossible.
Yuan Jing wasn't a rookie who came out for the first time. He immediately noticed Fat Wolf's actions. His face changed and he said, "Fat Wolf, you don't need to talk so much nonsense. Things have already reached this point. If you don't die, then I die. Come." After saying that, Yuan Jing moved his hand and two weapons appeared in his hand. One was an iron wooden fish with a long handle, and the other was a small wooden hammer with a round head. It was used to knock the wooden fish. These two weapons were very strange.
The other monks also took out their weapons. They had all kinds of weapons, from shovels to Buddhist Commandment Blades, from iron prayer beads to Qimei Cudgels. They had all kinds of weapons.
Fat Wolf looked at Yuan Jing and the others, then he laughed and said, "It's too late to make a move now. Brothers, let's wash them with blood today. Their goods will be ours. We won't have to worry about food for a long time." Then Fat Wolf rushed towards Yuan Jing, followed by the others.
Zhao Hai looked at them and couldn't help but coldly snort. Then he raised his Buddhist staff and went towards a black-clothed man. The black-clothed man was tall and had a pair of iron plates in his hand. One could see at a glance that they were heavy weapons.
As soon as the black-clothed man saw Zhao, he knocked the iron plate in his hand. With a clang, Zhao felt a force rushing straight towards him. He couldn't help but snort. "Amitabha, Buddha," he said. The black-clothed man looked at Zhao and said, "Amitabha!" An invisible force rushed out of his mouth. This was a high-level Buddhist technique, Lion's Roar!
Two invisible forces collided in the air. With a bang, the two forces dissipated. Zhao Hai then took large strides forward. The black-clothed man also rushed towards Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai raised his Buddhist staff and used the Splitting Mount Hua technique to strike the black-clothed man's head.
The black-clothed man raised his two iron plates and used the Burning the Heavens technique to meet Zhao Hai's Buddhist staff. With a loud clanging sound, the two weapons collided.
Bang, bang, bang. The black-clothed man couldn't take Zhao Hai's attack and was forced to retreat several steps. Zhao Hai naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. The Buddhist staff in his hand used the Fishing for the Moon technique. The iron plate under the Buddhist staff went straight for the black-clothed man's lower body.
Although the black-clothed man was forced to retreat and his arms were numb, he didn't lose the ability to fight back. He used the iron plate to block Zhao Hai's Buddhist staff. At the same time, he borrowed Zhao Hai's momentum to jump seven or eight meters away. At this time, a black-clothed man raised his blade and attacked Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai didn't have the means to chase and attack. He swung the Buddhist staff in his hand and used the Sweeping Thousand Troops technique to attack the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man didn't dare to meet Zhao Hai's attack head on. He was very clear that the black-clothed man was one of the strongest among them. But he couldn't block Zhao Hai's attack and was forced to retreat. With his strength, if he met Zhao Hai's Buddhist staff head on, he was afraid that he would be swung to death by Zhao Hai. Therefore, he jumped and dodged Zhao Hai's attack. Behind him, a black-clothed man rushed towards Shopkeeper Wu. Obviously, he was prepared to kill Shopkeeper Wu first.
How could Zhao Hai agree to this? One must know that they were the caravan's guards and Shopkeeper Wu was the person who hired them. If they let those people kill Shopkeeper Wu, then their task as guards would fail. Therefore, Zhao Hai's figure moved and retreated in front of Shopkeeper Wu, protecting him behind his back.
