In the evening.
The sun had gradually set. Lu An, who was cultivating in the carriage, gently opened his eyes and slowly exhaled. He had been cultivating for the entire afternoon without stopping for even a moment.
At the side, Yao, who was originally very bored, saw Lu An open his eyes. She knew that he always needed to rest at this time, so she became happy and quickly said, "Are you going to rest?"
"En." Lu An smiled, stretched his body, and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm going to rest."
After saying that, Lu An pulled open the curtains and looked outside. He realized that the sky outside was already quite dark. He stuck his head out and looked ahead. He realized that there was a mountain in front.
This was the first time he saw a mountain after traveling for so many days. Lu An could not help but look at it curiously. Looking ahead, there was an obvious official road that extended into the mountain. This made Lu An feel more at ease.
It seemed that there should be a lot of carriages passing through the mountain. Looking around, there was only one road into the mountain. Logically speaking, nothing should happen. They were already halfway through the journey. Lu An did not want anything to happen.
At this moment, Zhang Rui, who was walking at the front of the carriages, turned around and shouted to the people behind her, "We're about to enter the mountain. Everyone, be more alert! Once we're past the mountain, we'll find a place to rest! "
"Yes!!" All the escorts shouted.
The carriages were getting closer and closer to the mountain. Soon, the people and horses at the front entered the forest.
At this moment, a figure flashed past the first mountain on the official road. It did not attract anyone's attention. Under the cover of the trees, it turned and ran, quickly running deeper into the forest.
The carriages completely entered the mountain and quickly advanced on the road. It was already evening. They wanted to leave the mountain before the sky turned completely dark. Unknowingly, everyone's speed had increased by a lot.
The mountain road was winding and complicated. The winding mountain roads made it hard for people to tell the direction. Fortunately, there was only one mountain road here. They just had to follow it.
After entering the mountain, Lu An did not continue cultivating. He knew that the mountain was an especially dangerous place. He had been robbed in the mountain before. He would occasionally look outside and observe the forest on both sides of the mountain road.
Occasionally, the sound of birds and beasts could be heard from the forest. However, these sounds were very far away. If it were ordinary beasts, the convoy would not be afraid at all. As long as no one appeared, they would be able to safely pass through the mountains.
The caravan went deeper and deeper into the mountains. After about an hour, they arrived at the center of the mountain. At this time, Lu An, who was observing the surroundings, frowned and looked ahead with a slightly solemn gaze.
In front of the caravan, in front of the mountain path, was an incomparably huge one-line sky.
This Crack in the Sky was very spectacular. From top to bottom, it looked as if it had been cut by a knife. It was unknown whether it was really cut by a person or if it was the work of nature. This crack in the sky looked to be no more than thirty feet wide, but its height was more than thirty feet! The last bit of sunlight shone through the crack in the sky, and it was extremely beautiful!
The light just happened to shine on the horses, and it was a little dazzling. Lu An frowned as he looked ahead. He raised his head to look at the top of the One-Line Sky Peak. From the surface, there seemed to be no movement.
Anyone would know that if they wanted to rob, this was probably the best place to do so.
"Keep your spirits up!" Zhang Rui shouted from the front.
Immediately, the somewhat sleepy escorts were startled. They quickly shook their heads to wake up and walked forward. They couldn't be blamed. They had been rushing day and night for the past few days. Even if they could rest for a while, it would be too tiring.
In the front carriage, Gao Jue also stuck his head out of the carriage. When he saw that the escorts were rushing with their eyes wide open, he felt relieved and returned to the carriage.
The mountain path was quiet. Only the sound of wheels and horse hooves could be heard. But the quieter it was, the more dangerous it was.
The wind blew and the grass moved. The escorts tried their best to open their eyes and walk forward. Soon, the caravan arrived outside the One-Line Sky Peak.
The One-Line Sky Peak was two li long. With the caravan's speed, it would take at least half an incense stick's time to pass through. The caravan quickly entered the One-Line Sky Peak and moved forward as fast as possible.
While walking, Zhang Rui kept looking up. She had to constantly pay attention to whether or not there was an enemy attack. This task was of great importance, and there could not be any mistakes.
Click, click …
The sound of the wheels grinding on the stones was non-stop. The entire One-Line Sky seemed to be quiet.
At this time, a slight sound suddenly came from the sky and attracted Zhang Rui's attention. She hurriedly looked up but found that there was no movement at all.
The other escorts also looked up but did not see anything. Only one of the escorts complained, "What kind of lousy place is this? There's sand falling into my eyes!"
When the surrounding people heard this, they burst into laughter. That escort could only fix his own eyes. Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable.
Just as everyone was laughing, they suddenly heard another sound coming from the sky.
Bang.
A slight sound was heard. Just when everyone thought that there was no danger like before, Zhang Rui looked up and her eyes suddenly widened!
She saw a huge round rock falling from the sky. It was from such a high altitude and it was heading straight for the front of the caravan!
Whoosh!
Zhang Rui was shocked. She hurriedly shouted to the people who were still laughing behind her, "There's an enemy, stop!"
Just as her voice fell, the huge rock that was as tall as a person fiercely smashed into the empty space in front of the caravan, giving off a deafening sound!
Boom!!!
This loud noise startled all the horses! The horses neighed and stopped. They were almost out of control!
Zhang Rui looked at the huge rock in front of her. If she had not noticed it in time, she would have been hit by the huge rock! Even if she had dodged the huge rock, the shattered rock had completely blocked the caravan's path. The horses were still fine, but the caravan would definitely not be able to pass!
"Retreat! Retreat! "Zhang Rui immediately shouted. Hearing this, everyone hurriedly turned around and ran back! But at this moment, another huge rock fell from the sky!
Whoosh!
Falling from a height of more than ten feet, the weight of the huge rock combined with the momentum was enough to frighten anyone. Even a level one Celestial Master would have to avoid it! With a loud boom, the huge rock landed at the back of the caravan, blocking all escape routes!
With the front and back completely blocked, it was obvious that the enemy had come prepared. Zhang Rui hurriedly looked up. At this moment, three more huge rocks suddenly fell from the sky, heading straight for the caravan!
This time, the rocks were aimed very accurately. They were no longer blocking off escape routes, but were really going to kill the caravan!
"Stop it! Stop it! Don't let these goods be damaged! "Gao Jue, who was sitting in the carriage, hurriedly shouted when he saw the huge rocks.
Zhang Rui frowned. Since she had accepted the order, she naturally had the obligation to protect the goods. She took a deep breath, let out a low roar, and instantly punched out!
"Ah!"
Accompanied by Zhang Rui's roar, a flaming fist flew out of her hand, heading straight for the huge rocks falling from the sky! This flaming fist was about five feet wide, almost the same size as the huge rock!
Bang!
The flaming fist hit one of the huge rocks hard. In an instant, the impact of the huge rock and the power of the flaming fist caused the huge rock to crack!
Zhang Rui heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these rocks were just normal rocks and were not very hard. If these rocks were harder, the flaming fist would not have been able to break them.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rui hurriedly threw out another flaming fist with all her strength, heading straight for the second huge rock! However, there was not enough time left for her to attack the third rock. In the caravan, there was no one who could withstand the third huge rock steadily.
"Lu An!" After seven days, Zhang Rui finally shouted. She shouted at the carriage at the back of the caravan, "Come out quickly!"
However, when she looked at the back of the carriage, she saw that Lu An was already standing in the carriage, looking up at the huge rock that was heading straight for him.
Since he had taken the reward, he naturally had to work for him. When the danger appeared, Lu An immediately appeared from the carriage. Looking at the huge rock falling from the sky, he felt a little frustrated.
These bandits could have robbed anyone, but they just had to rob his caravan. Every time he followed the caravan, there would be problems. Could it be that he and the caravan were born to be incompatible?
Looking at the huge rock, Lu An frowned slightly. He immediately waved his hand, and a flame immediately went straight for the huge rock!
Whoosh!
The flame instantly hit the huge rock. The moment the flame covered the huge rock, there was a loud bang!
