The sky was dark and gloomy, the clouds were very low, as if a storm was coming.
The caravan moved forward on the mountain path with heavy footsteps.
The large black skin fat beetles in the caravan were all dead. There were only two winged snakes left, each with a disability. But there were more backpack toads left. Because of their small size, they moved quickly and could easily avoid the attacks of wild beasts. As for the ostriches, although they were about the same size as the backpack toads, they liked to bury their heads in the soil when they were frightened. This method of deceiving others and themselves caused them to suffer the most casualties.
Shang Xin Ci was mixed in the crowd, looking at the dozen or so backpack toads beside her with a complicated gaze.
The goods on these backpack toads were all Zhang clan's.
Although Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing did not participate in the discussion, the caravan leaders still allocated a large batch of goods to her.
"So this is because of strength …" Shang Xin Ci sighed in her heart.
Previously, when Zhang Zhu was around, these leaders had a calm attitude. But now, they were polite and even had a hint of flattery.
There were also those Gu Masters and family servants.
Right now, their gazes towards her were filled with respect and wariness.
"All these changes are because of these two." Shang Xin Ci looked at Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing not far away.
Her gaze was somewhat complicated.
On one hand, she felt a sense of security from Fang and Bai. On the other hand, she who had a kind heart felt fearful of Fang and Bai's ruthlessness in killing people.
"Hehehe, it seems we scared that girl." Bai Ning Bing and Fang Yuan were walking side by side, and after sensing Shang Xin Ci's gaze, she softly laughed.
Seven to eight days had passed since they killed Ou clan father and son.
The influence spread to the whole caravan. Of course, this included Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die.
Xiao Die did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of Fang and Bai. Shang Xin Ci's gaze also avoided eye to eye with Fang Yuan.
This reaction was within Fang Yuan's expectations.
This master and servant pair had grown up in Zhang clan village, and were influenced by the righteous path. When Fang and Bai showed their demonic nature, they could not help but notice the difference between them. There was still a long way to go before he could accept two demonic cultivators.
Fang Yuan was not worried about this.
External pressure would force them to accept and compromise. People always have to live. Next. After a few beast attacks, the estrangement in their hearts would gradually disappear.
"The problem now is him." Fang Yuan looked at Chen Xin.
This young Gu Master seemed to be the guy who escaped with Zhang Zhu. He thought that the White-Feathered Flying Elephant had already crushed him into meat paste. Unexpectedly, he was still alive.
Even if a Gu Master's cultivation was not high, if they had one or two special Gu worms, they could not be underestimated.
Without the Earth Communication Ear Grass, Fang Yuan no longer had any means of detection, allowing him to escape with his life. No one knew how much he knew.
But no matter what, Fang Yuan had a way to deal with it.
He was a cautious person, always thinking about failure before thinking about victory. When he made the plan, he had already considered the possibility of being discovered.
So, after he killed Zhang Zhu, he purposely displayed his powerful strength. If someone really found out. Seeing Fang and Bai's valiance and ruthlessness, most people would feel fear and hide it.
Ou Clan's father and son were on the tip of the spear, if not for Ou Fei. Fang Yuan would have found a chance to cause trouble, or when the beast groups attacked. He would have displayed his powerful methods.
Of course, if he was exposed, Fang Yuan had many methods to retaliate. The caravan leader Jia Long was a very good chess piece.
He was Jia Fu's man, and Fang Yuan had obtained Jia Fu's token at Guyue village. As long as he showed the token and did some things, he could obtain Jia Long's trust.
But no matter how perfect a plan was, there would be mistakes when it was implemented.
As the saying goes, man proposes, heaven disposes.
Even if Fang Yuan was experienced and astute, there was a chance of failure. However, it was also because of this that life was so exciting.
Fang Yuan's first thought was the worst result.
If his luck was extremely bad, when he killed Zhang Zhu, someone would see it and leave behind solid evidence. In the end, it would cause Shang Xin Ci to realize the truth, and develop deep hatred towards him for 'biting the hand that fed him'.
Then what should he do?
It was very simple. Just kill Shang Xin Ci.
She was only a mortal now, killing her was easy. Shang clan leader also did not know she was his own daughter. If he did it cleanly, there would be no repercussions from Shang clan.
Looking at the result now, Zhang Zhu was dead, and Fang Yuan's luck was not the best, leaving behind a trail. But it was not the worst, at least Shang Xin Ci was still kept in the dark.
Fang Yuan was sure of this. Because Shang Xin Ci was still young, in Fang Yuan's eyes, her emotions could not be hidden.
"Crocodile elephant group is ahead!"
"A crocodile elephant group is charging towards us!!"
"Alert, alert!"
At this time, the investigative Gu Master ahead flew back, bringing bad news.
The caravan was slightly disturbed, but soon calmed down.
"It's only crocodile elephants, don't panic."
"We don't have enough manpower, we can't defend here."
"That's right, everyone scatter and enter the rainforest!"
The Gu Masters gave the wisest order, the caravan members' hearts were already stretched taut, and they quickly scattered.
If they encountered such a situation before Fei Hou Mountain, perhaps there would still be people who were worried about the goods and hesitated. But now, they resolutely gave up, not even looking at these goods, and focused on escaping.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing protected Shang Xin Ci and her servant, charging into the rainforest.
He was not surprised at the crocodile elephant group's arrival, because it was his plan.
Rumble …
The crocodile elephant group rushed over, and soon there were miserable cries and sounds of trees being knocked down.
Fang Yuan brought Shang Xin Ci and the rest, carefully evading in the rainforest, but there were many crocodile elephants, and they still encountered one.
The crocodile elephant was small, about the same size as a yak, which made it more agile.
Its whole body was covered in scales similar to a crocodile's, and its defense was thick, far surpassing the white feather flying elephant. The elephant's tail was also like a crocodile's tail, dragging on the ground.
"Ah!" Seeing this crocodile elephant charging over like a small mountain. Xiao Die cried out in alarm.
Shang Xin Ci's face was also pale.
"Don't worry." Fang Yuan indifferently instructed, and brazenly charged towards the crocodile elephant.
One man and one elephant fiercely collided with each other halfway, causing a loud sound.
Fang Yuan took two steps back, and the white light armor on his body shook three times. And that crocodile elephant's skull was shattered, blood gushed out, and it was knocked to the ground, pushing back for over ten steps. Then it crashed into the trunk of a large tree. Only then did it suddenly stop.
"Amazing!" Seeing this, Xiao Die's eyes opened wide in shock.
This was only an ordinary crocodile elephant, and not a hundred beast king. Fang Yuan had snow silver primeval essence, and also the strength of two boars and a crocodile, so it was very easy for him to prepare it.
However. Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die had never seen such a fiery scene.
That Zhang Zhu did not have great strength, and was a healing Gu Master, so he mainly dodged and assisted during the battle.
Fang Yuan's head-on collision and unbridled fighting style naturally left a deep impression on the master and servant.
About two hours later. The crocodile elephant group gradually retreated, and the caravan people walked out of the rainforest one after another.
After calculating, only a Gu Master and a dozen servants were sacrificed. The losses were not huge.
After arranging the goods, the caravan moved forward again.
A few days later, they left Xiang Ya mountain boundary, and set off towards Mu Bei mountain.
In the next half a month. The caravan encountered the attacks of black rock bears, iron crown deer groups and so on.
Because Fang and Bai were almost inseparable from each other's protection. Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die were unharmed.
After staying together like this, the master and servant's attitude also changed.
Shang Xin Ci became much closer to Fang Yuan, and when they conversed, they laughed and did not avoid each other's eyes. And Xiao Die had completely turned into a worshipper of Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing.
Worshipping strength was a common trait of all living beings. Because only by being strong could they have a higher chance of survival.
Moreover, although Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing were of the demonic path, they were extremely principled. In the eyes of the master and servant, they did not ask for anything else, and had never touched them, only repaying their kindness. This action was filled with the aura of a hero. Even in the righteous path, how many people could do this?
Even if Fang Yuan was ugly, in the hearts of the master and servant, he was many times more adorable than many hypocritical righteous path people.
A few days later, the caravan entered Mu Bei mountain boundary.
Zombies started to appear in the surroundings.
Mu Bei mountain was not called Mu Bei mountain in the past. Over a hundred years ago, there was a large clan on the mountain.
A demonic path Gu Master changed everything.
He was once a servant of this clan, and on the day of his wedding, his beautiful wife was forcefully taken by a Gu Master of the clan and raped to death.
He buried his hatred deep in his heart, and by coincidence, he obtained the inheritance of the demon 'Zombie King'.
After enduring for close to a hundred years, with his rank five cultivation, he mobilized his zombie army and attacked this clan, slaughtering everyone. He did not even spare their corpses, and turned them into zombies.
After doing all this, he erected a huge tombstone on the ruins of the stronghold.
On the tombstone, his wife's name was carved.
This matter shook Southern Border.
From then on, this mountain was called Mu Bei mountain. Zombies roamed the mountain, they killed wild beasts or passersby, sucking their blood for food. And their corpse poison would infect corpses, forming new zombies.
Thus, Mu Bei mountain was filled with endless zombies.
To ensure the safety of the trade route, every year, clans would organize zombie squads to clean up these zombies.
But no matter how they cleaned up, the zombies could never be killed, never ending.
After all, the size of the zombie squads was limited, and Southern Border had many mountains, the journey was dangerous, and the expenditure was huge. The investment was high, but the returns were small, and it was impossible to turn Mu Bei mountain upside down. Any fish that escaped the net, after a period of time, would form the scale of zombies. After several large scale alliances, the enthusiasm of the people was exhausted.
This night, the caravan camped at the foot of Mu Bei mountain.
The starry sky was bright, and Fang Yuan looked up at the dark shadow of Mu Bei mountain, his eyes flashing with a contemplative light.
"The time is ripe, these people have lost their value. It is time to get rid of these troubles. "
Chen Xin was going to die, but it would be even more troublesome to get rid of him alone. What did he know, and who did he reveal it to? Was there anyone else besides him who saw it? Fang Yuan had no idea.
But Fang Yuan did not want to find out.
Because in his plan, if Chen Xin died, the others would also die.
Only when they were all dead could it be considered clean.
