After the summoned assassin killed the desert bandit leader, he did not stay idle. Just as the desert bandits were panicking, the assassin used a dance-like rhythm to easily catch up with a few desert bandits who were running away. With a swing of his blade, the heads of those desert bandits flew up.
Rather than a battle, it was more like a massacre.
The strength of both parties was not on the same level at all.
After the appearance of the three summoners, the desert bandits who were arrogant and despotic just a moment ago basically fell to the ground and became scattered corpses. None of them managed to escape.
The burnt smell of people and scorpions being burned by the high-temperature flames and the thick smell of blood quickly filled the valley.
Mu Li and the people in the camel team all widened their eyes and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Xia Pingan also quietly took two steps back and stood in an inconspicuous position.
"So it's just a few desert bandits. I thought I could finally meet people from the Blood Demon Church and have a good kill. What a disappointment …" The summoner who summoned the assassin gently landed in front of Mu Li and the others. He was like a feather, handsome and beautiful, without a speck of dust on him.
"How can there be so many people from the Blood Demon Church for you to kill …" Another summoner also flew over and gently landed on the ground. He shook his head slightly. "We've been patrolling the border for such a long time, but we haven't seen anyone from the Blood Demon Church. The other provinces have been clearing them out for two months, and those people from the Blood Demon Church don't show up easily now …"
"Previously, I heard that the people from the Blood Demon Church caused quite a ruckus in and around Shang Jing City just to chase that Xia Pingan. I really hope that they can come to Fengling Province and the border to create some trouble and give us something to do!" The summoner who summoned the assassin spread out his hands.
The last summoner flew over and shot an icicle in the air. Without batting an eyelid, the icicle nailed a desert bandit who was still wriggling and struggling on the ground in the distance to the ground like a worm. He landed and gently clapped his hands. "Alright, they've all been killed. Although they're not from the Blood Demon Church, these desert bandits aren't good people either. They actually dared to cross the border and rob the land of the Shang Kingdom. They're courting death!"
The three Summoners chatted among themselves. The people in the caravan beside them were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Mu Li shrunk his head and looked fearfully at the Dark Battle God Church symbol on the black robes of the three summoners. He nervously swallowed his saliva. Although these three people had just saved the camel caravan, they represented the officials of the Shang Kingdom. The camel caravan that he led was a smuggling team at the border. How could a mouse not be afraid when it saw a cat?
"Who is the leader of the camel team?" The last Summoner who landed looked around and asked directly.
"I … I'm the captain of this camel team!" Mu Li squeezed out a bitter smile as he patted the centipede beside him. The centipede's curled body instantly stretched out a bit like opening a door on the wall. From O-shape to U-shape, Mu Li could walk out of the centipede's protective circle.
"What's your name?"
"Mu Li!" Mu Li answered honestly.
"What happened just now?"
Mu Li recounted the entire process of being attacked by the desert bandits.
After Mu Li finished speaking, the three Summoners turned their gazes away from him. They no longer had any interest in him.
"Who is the Summoner here?" The Summoner who summoned the assassin glanced at the corpses of the desert bandits and asked directly.
"Ahem, I'm …" Xia Pingan could only walk out.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Cui LI …"
Cui LI was the pseudonym that Xia Pingan gave himself. After changing his identity, this name naturally popped up in his mind when others asked him for his name. Therefore, Xia Pingan used it.
"Why are you in the caravan?"
"Sir, he is a guard hired by our caravan …" Before Xia Pingan could say anything, Mu Li, who was beside him, opened his mouth. Mu Li, who had an honest face, lied. His expression was especially realistic. He only secretly gave Xia Pingan a meaningful glance.
"Oh …"
The aura of Xia Pingan was only that of a low-level Summoner. The aura of the two desert bandits who were killed by magic on the ground was also very weak. The three Summoners didn't care too much. When they heard Mu Li say that Xia Pingan was the guard of the caravan, they shifted their gazes away from Xia Pingan.
It was actually very common for these camel caravans to recruit low-level Summoners as guards.
As for how to hide the divine aura on his body, it was a bit long to say. This was also a skill that Xia Pingan had just discovered in the past two months.
In the past two months, Xia Pingan did not enter the spiritual world again in order to be safe. However, the soul power that his body had consumed to kill the Nightmare Bug in the spiritual world had been completely restored.
Because of the absorption of the Nightmare Bug's soul power, the soul power in Xia Pingan's body that had been fully restored had reached "13.5 slashes". When he had just entered the spiritual world, his soul power was only "4.5 slashes". His entire soul power had increased by three times.
After the improvement of his soul power, for some reason, Xia Pingan found that he naturally had the ability to hide his divine aura. He could control the strength of the aura revealed by the Summoner's secret mandala. Everything came naturally.
Not only that, Xia Pingan also found that his "remote viewing" ability seemed to have improved a lot unknowingly. He could "see" farther, and the details of the things he "saw" were more and clearer.
He remembered that when Xia Pingan had just joined the Order Committee for the Awakening Ability evaluation, his "Remote Vision" ability was evaluated as Level F. Over the past two days, if he were to use the previous standards to judge, Xia Pingan felt that his "Remote Vision" ability might have reached Level E.
The improvement of soul power in the spiritual world could actually bring a series of reaction changes to his body. This was something that Xia Pingan did not expect.
Everything in the spiritual world was like a treasure trove waiting for him to excavate for Xia Pingan.
"Apart from these desert bandits, did you encounter any other special people or things on the road?"
"No, we only encountered this group of desert bandits in the past two days!"
After asking a few more questions, the three Summoners completely lost interest in the camel caravan.
"Mu Li, I'll remember you. You're lucky to have met us this time. After returning to the Fengling Province, remember to make up for the tax evasion this time, and then report to the anti-smuggling team. Also, you guys deal with the bodies of those desert bandits …"
Mu Li nodded and bowed as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Of course, of course …"
After saying a few words, the three Summoners were too lazy to stay any longer. They were not interested in the goods on The Centipede of the camel caravan. Not even bothering to look at them, the three Summoners directly rose into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xia Pingan looked at Mu Li and nodded to him with a smile on his face. "Thanks, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be in trouble!"
Mu Li smiled bitterly. "You're welcome. I should be the one thanking you, brother. You saved my life just now!"
"Those Summoners seem to be too lazy to care about the camel caravan?"
"Hmm, they're senior Summoners of the military. All of them are good at flying. Our goods in the camel caravan are nothing in their eyes. We're just making some hard-earned money. How could they care about that …" Mu Li sighed as he glanced at the corpses of those guards and riders who had been killed by the desert bandits. At the same time, his tears flowed out. He pulled himself together as he wiped his tears and started to command the others to collect the corpses of his partners and clean up the battlefield.
Those desert bandits' sabers and swords were pretty good and could be exchanged for some money. Those desert bandits also had some gold coins and silver coins. These items could more or less make up for the loss of the camel caravan.
… …
While the others were busy, Xia Pingan was not idle either. He came to the corpse of a desert bandit whose chest was pierced by an icicle and nailed to the ground. He took off the desert bandit's wolf mask and looked at it.
That wolf head mask was brand new. Most importantly, this wolf head mask was very delicately designed. The crystal lens of the wolf head mask could resist the wind and sand to maintain one's vision. The copper trachea on the mask was a bit ingenious, which could allow one to breathe in the sand underground.
This thing was a bit useful.
Xia Pingan put away a wolf head mask of a desert bandit.
… …
Under the command of Mu Li and the other people, The Centipedes soon dug out rows of huge pits on the ground with their pairs of huge feet like shovels.
Xia Pingan, Mu Li and the other people dragged those corpses into the huge pits. After that, The Centipedes dug out the soil outside the pits with their pairs of huge feet and directly buried those corpses in the soil.
After cleaning up the battlefield hastily and recovering their sadness, the camel caravan continued to drive The Centipedes on the road.
With red eyes, Mu Li raised his voice as a desolate folk song reverberated in the wilderness full of yellow sand.
"The moon bends in the middle of the sky, the boat bends by the riverside, the slopes on both sides of the river are opposite to each other, the two ends of the carrying pole are opposite to the basket, the man rides a horse to travel the world, the girl waits for the man's return at home, after crossing 99 rivers and mountains, the heart is like fire on the way home, the boat reaches the shore while the water is big, the girl wants to fall in love while she is young …"
At the beginning, only Mu Li was singing this folk song. Gradually, the whole camel caravan started to sing.
The song immersed the entire camel caravan in a strange atmosphere.
Listening to the song, Xia Pingan recalled those companions of the plan to mend the heavens, Caocao and Xia Ning … …
… …
After dark, there were more wild beasts in the wilderness. After chasing away some hyenas, the camel caravan arrived at the Moon Castle.
The Moon Castle was an abandoned castle. The entire Moon Castle was covered with broken bricks. No one knew how many years it had been abandoned.
Mu Li said that when his grandpa was young, the Moon Castle had been like this. It was said that this was a military castle of the Shang Dynasty. Later on, it was destroyed by someone and abandoned.
However, this abandoned military castle in the wilderness was a rare resting place for the camel caravan.
After feeding The Centipedes, the camel caravan lit a fire in the castle and roasted some dry rations.
The next day, before dawn, the camel caravan continued their journey. After another bumpy day, they crossed numerous yellow hills and a lofty mountain range appeared on the horizon in front of them.
They had arrived at Youshan … …
