A large group of soldiers wearing the national emblem of the Blue Wind Kingdom were escorting more than ten large carriages filled with metal boxes as they slowly walked on the official road. Their steps were orderly and even their movements were almost exactly the same. Every one of them naturally exuded a murderous aura. This was the result of countless battles of life and death. From this, it could be seen that this was definitely an elite army of the Blue Wind Kingdom.
Five kilometers behind them, Jianchen was riding a second rank Magical Beast as he followed the group of soldiers from afar. Along the way, he was thinking about how to make his move.
This group of soldiers only had around two hundred people. Although the number was not large, but because they were a well-trained elite army, they were very difficult to deal with. Among them, half of them were Great Saint Masters while the rest were all Saint Masters. Compared to the motley crew of the Xia family, their battle prowess was not just a level higher. Moreover, Jianchen could feel that these few officers were all Earth Saint Masters.
After all, this batch of Magic Cores was not small and as a war preparation material, it was completely normal for the Blue Wind Kingdom to send a few Earth Saint Masters to escort them.
At noon, the scorching sun in the sky was like a fire, emitting an intense heat that baked the earth. Jianchen mixed in with the caravan for half a day before finally separating from the soldiers at a fork in the road.
Jianchen left the caravan and followed the group of soldiers from afar. However, the distance between them had increased from five kilometers to eight kilometers because this was a plain. Occasionally, there would be some weeds on the side of the road, but they did not obstruct the line of sight. The field of vision was very wide and if he followed too closely, it would be very easy to be discovered.
In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened. Jian Chen had been following the group of soldiers from afar for an entire day. There were no cities nearby, so the group of soldiers had casually chosen an open area to set up camp and rest. They began to light a fire and prepare their meals.
However, when they were resting, their defense was even tighter. There was even a group of people riding Magical Beasts patrolling the area, making it impossible for Jianchen to find an opportunity to make his move. Facing an extremely powerful elite army and a few Earth Saint Masters, Jianchen was not stupid enough to face them head on.
The next morning, the group of soldiers began to pack up their tents and set off early. Jianchen continued to follow them from afar. Due to the large distance and the fact that there were quite a few mercenaries and caravans on the road, they would come across groups of mercenaries and merchants almost every once in a while. As a result, Jianchen's abnormality was not noticed by them. Whenever they came across a caravan on the road, Jianchen would immediately mix in with the caravan and cover himself as much as possible.
Jianchen walked all the way until noon and separated from the caravan again. He followed the group of soldiers from afar. Due to the hot weather, the group of soldiers finally stopped when they passed by a small forest. They sat down on the grass and rested. Quite a few of them took out their jugs of water to quench their thirst.
"This damned weather is so hot. We've almost run out of water. Looks like we need to find a water source as soon as possible. It's fine if we don't eat for two or three days in this hot weather, but we can't go without water," said a middle-aged commander.
Another commander to the side took out a map and looked at it carefully. His eyes lit up as he pointed at a spot on the map and said, "Look at the mark on the map. There's a river nearby. We can go get some water."
Several high-ranking officers immediately came over, and one of them immediately ordered, "Men, send someone to the southwest three kilometers away to get some water."
"Yes, commander." Immediately, a soldier collected everyone's jugs of water and placed them in his Space Belt. Afterward, he rode a Class 2 Magical Beast and headed in the direction of the water source.
Very soon, the soldier arrived beside a small river. The river was only around two meters wide and the water was so clear that the bottom could be seen. It was not polluted at all.
Jumping off his mount, the soldier immediately took out all the jugs from his Space Belt and placed them one by one on the ground. Then, he began to fill them up one by one.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A silver white light shot out from the weeds not far away at an unbelievable speed. Before the soldier could react, the silver white light pierced through his neck.
A head flew high into the air, bringing with it a cloud of blood. The entire head of the soldier who was fetching water had been severed by the silver light. Bright red blood flowed into the river, dyeing the clear water red.
A youth wearing white clothes walked out from the weeds. It was Jianchen.
Jianchen arrived in front of the soldier and thought for a moment. Then, he quickly dug a hole and buried the soldier's clothes. At the same time, he covered the blood on the ground with some soil to prevent the smell of the blood from drifting out and being smelled by Magical Beasts or humans with a keen sense of smell.
After doing all this, Jianchen washed off the blood on the armor. Then, he took off his clothes and put on the armor. Afterward, he took out some disguise tools from his Space Belt and changed his appearance to that of the soldier. Finally, he picked up the jug and walked a few dozen meters upstream to get some water.
After filling the pot with water, Jian Chen immediately took out the venomous fangs of the Golden-striped Silver Snake from his Space Ring and tossed them into the water.
The Silver Striped Golden Snake was an extremely poisonous creature. Its toxicity was strong enough to be ranked in the top three, and its fang was the most poisonous part of its body. Its toxicity was so strong that it could be compared to the poison sac. As long as this fang was soaked in water, it would be able to dye the entire jug of clear water into a highly poisonous liquid in less than half an incense's time.
Jianchen threw the fang into a jug full of clear water and no longer cared about it. Instead, he continued to fill the rest of the jugs with water. When he had filled all the jugs with water, the jug that had been soaked in the fang had completely turned into a jug of extremely poisonous water.
