"Senior Brother Happy!"
"There's another group ahead of us … This time, I think they're bandits!"
While standing on the roof of the carriage, Orchid Researcher saw a blurry black dot and dust rising high into the air at the horizon. She quickly shouted a warning to Happy and the others, who rode in front of the carriage.
Right when she finished speaking, two riders rushed out from the carriage's sides!
"Eldest senior brother! We'll have to trouble you to hold the line this time. I'll go up with Young 'Worry to loosen up! "Once they rushed out of the carriage, Xu Lang turned his head around and shouted with a smile. He was a classic example of acting first and reporting later.
"Go. Be careful."
Happy smiled and did not move.
After yesterday's drinking session, he still felt a little dizzy.
Besides, the relationship between the six of them had become even closer. Happy also knew that with Xu Lang and Ghost's Worry's strength, the nobodies were not their opponents. They had already killed a few batches of bandits on their way.
Eleventh Crane, Orchid Researcher, and Dawn Lotus did not move either. They simply allowed Happy and Happy to ride their horses to meet the bandits at the horizon. They continued escorting the carriage and chatted with each other.
"It's just a few bandits. It's a little boring, senior brother."
Dawn Lotus wiped off the sweat on her forehead and came to Happy's side in a seemingly unintentional manner.
Eleventh Crane smiled and looked at the man and woman in front of him. He wisely held the reins on his horse and took a few steps behind them.
"That's right!"
Orchid Researcher's ears were very sharp. When she heard this, she jumped down from the roof of the carriage and summoned her horse to Happy's other side. "Senior brother, do you think there's anything new in World of Martial Arts?"
'Something new?'
Happy smiled in resignation.
Right now, everyone was too weak, and they revealed too few things. But as time passed, the storyline of the World of Martial Arts quests would gradually be released, and it would definitely become more exciting, especially after the new year. Of course, as a normal player, Happy felt that it was best if he did not shock the world too much.
He immediately spoke.
"How should I know?"
To his surprise, the armed escort who was in charge of escorting the carriage and had never said more than five words besides "set off!" and "land!" suddenly said, "We're still safe for now.
"We're still safe for now. Once we leave Gusu's territory and enter a place where the government doesn't have any jurisdiction, we'll be busy. We'll walk dozens of miles, and wherever we go, we'll find a fort at the top of each mountain. Each fort will have at least one or two Blessed Realm fighters guarding it."
The two girls were instantly attracted by the armed escort who spoke. They did not expect that he could still speak.
Even Eleventh Crane rushed over from behind in shock!
"A Blessed Realm elite?"
"Yes."
The armed escort who spoke was rather built and built. He sat in the coachman's seat and wiped his saber while he had a solemn expression on his face. "The Murong Clan's reputation is still rather useful in Gusu's territory. They won't dare to attack us in broad daylight, and the smaller forces of power won't dare to provoke us at all. But when we get there, they won't care so much. At that time, if we run into a small stronghold, it'll be easy for us to handle them, but if we run into a large mountain stronghold with strong people and horses, their forces will not be this small.
"…"
When they understood the meaning behind the armed escort's words, the group's expressions instantly changed.
Even though Xu Lang and Ghost's Worry could easily get rid of a group of bandits and bandits, they had to use some methods and tactics, and they did not have Blessed Realm fighters to suppress them.
If they ran into the large-scale mountain bandits that the armed escort mentioned and Happy was held back, the group would indeed be in danger.
Happy's expression turned serious.
He had also participated in the quest to protect the tribute in his previous life. The further he went, the more difficult it became! The situation also became more complicated. In fact, he could not rule out the possibility of Mystical Realm fighters appearing.
But at that time, he was very weak and had to escort the brocade box alone. Practically all the enemies on the way were in Gate Realm. Even though their numbers varied, Blessed Realm fighters rarely appeared.
This time, it was clearly different!
The mountain bandits formed groups, and they had just left Gusu's territory when more than one hundred people came to steal their tribute. They even ran into Blessed Realm bandits.
If they really reached Beijing and ran into players who blocked their way to rob them, who knew how complicated the situation would become!
When he thought about it in depth, Happy rubbed his temples.
Even if he had the experience from his previous life, he had only experienced one of them. Right now, he was still a newbie, and he did not know what sort of tests awaited him later.
Xu Lang and Ghost's Worry used a total of ten minutes to kill the group of bandits in front of them. When they ran back, their faces were full of shame. "Um, the bandits seem to have become stronger."
Once Orchid Researcher explained the armed escort's words, solemn expressions instantly appeared on their faces.
"What should we do?"
"I have to leave later."
Xu Lang became nervous.
Usually, in this sort of quest that required a long time to complete, once the players left, their game characters could not disappear. They could only continue to follow the party like normal NPCs.
When he heard that Blessed Realm NPCs might appear ahead of them, Xu Lang felt incredibly gloomy. He did not know what to do.
"It's fine. When the time comes, you can set up your settings and follow Big Brother Crane to protect the carriage. We'll try our best not to let anything happen to you."
Happy did not think much of it. One less person would not affect the quest too much.
But Xu Lang was still worried.
"But … the five of you …"
"It's fine. We can handle it for now. Next time, when we're on the road, try to log off and do your jobs properly so that you won't be unable to fight during crucial moments."
Happy said.
The group nodded.
…
The armed escort got on the carriage, and the six of them rode on horses. Soon, they arrived outside Gusu's territory and arrived at the place the armed escort had mentioned. Lush mountains were connected to the government-made road and streams. It was very quiet, and not a single hint of danger could be seen.
But …
At that moment, Xu Lang had already left. With his longsword in hand, he followed closely behind Eleventh Crane, who had abandoned his horse and was walking on foot!
Happy swept his gaze over the mountains around him and became the vanguard to open the path in front of them.
The carriage slowly moved through the potholed government-made road and let out creaking sounds. Orchid Researcher, Dawn Lotus, Eleventh Crane, and Ghost's Worry guarded the carriage nervously. They did not dare to relax for even a moment.
Once they turned the first corner, they officially entered the mountain range. The four armed escorts got down from the carriage and put on incredibly solemn and wary stances! They swept their gazes over the area, and they could vaguely see some sword marks left behind on the tree trunks by the road. They seemed to still remember the grim and brutal events that had happened not too long ago.
"Be on guard!"
Eleventh Crane suddenly noticed that Happy, who had been scouting the path 328 feet ahead of them, had turned around and rushed into the forest to the left.
Before his voice faded away, a black light charged out of the forest. With a sharp whistle, it sliced through the air and stabbed the ground between Eleventh Crane and Ghost's Worry.
Buzz!
The arrow sank deep into the ground, and its tail shuddered nonstop.
"Archers!"
Great shock instantly appeared on the duo's faces. Before they could react to the situation, the sound of air being sliced through suddenly rose.
Arrows shot out of the forest like raindrops, and like a locust swarm, they attacked the eight people around the carriage!
It was the first time the players ran into such a formation, and they were so frightened by the fierce arrow shower that they hid behind the carriage to avoid the arrows.
At that moment, the four armed escorts who had never shown much of their abilities showed extraordinary courage. They did not retreat, but moved forward. They used their bodies to block the carriage, and the shadows of their weapons rose into the air. They calmly blocked the arrows or knocked them away. They did not retreat at all.
After three rounds of arrow showers …
The four armed escorts were more or less hit by a few arrows.
Ghost's Worry felt incredibly ashamed when he saw this. He gritted his teeth and rushed out from behind the carriage with a growl.
Eleventh Crane also shot out from behind the carriage under the protection of the armed escorts. He drew his bow, and three arrows shot into the forest at lightning speed.
