Chapter 309
...
Usually only five master-level experts will succeed in such a task, but this time it is a bit different. Yan Xiaobao feels that this trip is completely wrong. His vigilant eyes never ignore what is happening around him. His muscles are tense and he constantly feels the intention to kill him, but no matter where or how much he looks around, he can't see anyone.
After a whole day, his mood gradually improved because no accidents happened. But even so, Yan Xiaobao still felt that he was being observed and someone wanted to kill him.
The four guards walking the day before put away their armor while experiencing the harsh reality. It is impossible to continue walking while wearing such heavy armor. Although it looks good, it is actually far from enough.
The remaining eight guards of the Yang family did not understand that they would be in trouble because problems arose over time as they began to pant and fall behind.
Seeing that they were behind, Yan Xiaobao immediately stopped the caravan and ordered the guards to put down their armor, and then they slowly advanced again. Although their speed was far lower than the speed of the previous day, the mercenary team began to feel uneasy because they were worried that the danger would approach them from all aspects.
Xu Yue was not the only one who felt like someone was behind her. Xu Biao shared this premonition, his eyes flashed from one side to the other, his eyebrows were tense, and his muscles were tense.
Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but hope that no one behind them could enter the tunnel. In the lawless world of the tunnel without light, there was a vicious killer following their thoughts, a world where no one cared about what happened to others, and people could pretend that the murder was done by a magical beast.
Thinking of this, Yan Xiaobao's eyes turned cold. He walked behind and decided to make sure no one was behind. He had lost two people; he was not planning to lose more soon.
Once the beautiful cave sky began to dim, the group stopped moving forward, unlike the night before that there were no three bonfires set up, with only one bonfire next to it.
Although this group of friends went to the capital under the excuse of visiting missions, partly for protection, Yan Xiaobao had no intention of doing a half-time job. Instead, he was planning to try to send young people to his home. The college then slowly continued to move towards the capital.
Looking at the darkness outside the campground, Yan Xiaobao once again looked at the guards who no longer showed a little cheerfulness, but a dark and melancholy atmosphere caught up with them. Even Deng Wu's face was serious, and Wang Julong's beautiful characteristics were twisted into a frown because she tried to stare at the dark eyes.
Sha Yun sat on the ground as usual, leaning his back on the wheel, his tail leisurely patting the ground, and his eyes narrowed. She looked at the guard without any concealment.
When he saw the snake girl, Yan Xiaobao sighed. Her feelings were always obvious, although she had good reason not to like people like them, those who felt better than magic, even though she felt that the snake girl was wronged and did not act on every insulted act. Instead, she sat there, obviously opposed the guards who rested by the bonfire.
Deng Wu and Wang Julong quickly walked towards Sha Yun and sat next to her. The three friends sat together, because Yan Xiaobao walked towards them and sat down, none of them said anything, because everyone was vigilantly checking the environment around them, and even hearing a different voice.
The four friends would search the surroundings of the camp every hour, but found that everything was peaceful and quiet, nothing special. At night, no guard dared to stay away from the flames, and finally could see the light from the rising sun in the distance. The young lord, his servant, and their housekeeper finally woke up. Since no guard was wearing their heavy armor, it was possible to start at a fast pace.
Although they did not travel at the fastest speed, they no longer left people behind and the pace was steady. The caravan did not stop all day until they reached a smaller town where they reserved the entire hotel for the entourage to rest.
Back at the hotel, Yan Xiaobao ordered his friends to have a good sleep because he thought they would be safe. The guards all slept in their own room, while the mercenaries and four guards slept in another room. The third room was prepared for the young master and his two servants.
Although others can not sleep for several days in a row, it will affect their judgment and ability to control their bodies to some extent. This is why he sent them to the bed while he stayed awake by himself. After opening the Yin and Yang Qi meridians, Yan Xiaobao no longer needs to sleep, as long as it can rest within the essence of heaven and earth.
Walking around the closed inn inn in total darkness and silence, Yan Xiaobao suddenly felt that his intention to kill was so extreme that even his red fog would not be lost.
Walking through a window, Yan Xiaobao looked down at the yard and saw only a shadow of a man, a demon beast beside him. The moonlight shone on this man, illuminating him in front of the gray-haired young man, and the scene he saw shocked his core.
The shadow on the ground raised his head and looked directly at Yan Xiaobao's hidden window. The silver moonlight fell on his face, revealing a disfigured face. A face that seemed to be crippled by a wild beast.
His face had no skin at all in the lower half. His nose had only two holes, and his lips disappeared. Looking at the man, his face looked like a skeleton. The flesh and bones in the middle and lower half were obvious, but his eyes were full of vitality and cruelty, but when their eyes were locked together, the terrible man bowed deeply, and the intention of killing disappeared instantly.
Bowing to Yan Xiaobao, the man turned around, and the giant red tiger beside him left the yard. A worried young man was left, who still felt how his hair stood.
This man and his demon beast were definitely the ones who had been following them after they left the capital where the demons lived in the cave, and his beast was obviously the ones who destroyed the two guards that night.
The Demon Beast is a huge tiger. When calculating its tail, it can easily grow 7 meters long and about 3 meters high. Its claws are huge, and looking at them, they seem to be of the size suitable for corpse cutting.
Seeing the humans and beasts leaving the courtyard, the young men's hair on their backs did not lie down, and felt no comfort, because they knew it was not a group that followed them but just a man. A man who was obviously not easy to deal with.
Once the man disappeared from sight, Yan Xiaobao picked up a memory stone and filled all his memories and knowledge of the scarred man with the stone, before rushing to the room where his friends slept.
After rushing into the room, he finally settled down and saw them all asleep. Until the morning he decided not to show them anything. The man had been away all night and it was obvious that he had no intention of looking back and allowed the party to rest all night.
Yan Xiaobao sat on the bed and soon entered meditation before allowing his body to brighten. He felt how his cultivation techniques exerted its highest abilities. His body absorbed all the essence of heaven and earth, and it was slowly refined into all, which in turn was refined into spiritual energy.
He had been sitting in this position to rest and did not open his eyes before the sun shone through the window, reminding him that they needed to move as soon as possible. Yan Xiaobao opened his eyes and found that the others were awake, everyone was working efficiently and ready to travel again.
Breakfast was enjoyed in the restaurant of this hotel, and only after consuming a lot of food, they reappeared on the street and rushed into the tunnel.
As soon as they set out on the road, the memory stones filled the morning before were passed to six mercenaries. When they saw their faces become grim.
"I know him," Xu Biao whispered, not wanting to tell the other members of the team their followers. Even now, Yan Xiaobao can feel those eyes following them.
"He is a member of the Dragon Army's eradication department. Their official name is the Black Dragon Army. This person has been in the cave in the demons for a long time. There is no doubt that Zhou Long has sent him to us." After saying the last sentence, an ugly expression appeared on Xu Biao's face.
"This man is a king-level expert. I don't know if you can deal with him because he is far beyond the last king-level expert you meet."
"I can't deal with him," said Yan Xiaobao, with an ugly expression flashing across his face, "The power I can pull is limited, and it will not exceed once every few years."
When Xu Biao heard that, he looked shocked at the young man. "Every few years?" he asked, as if something had blocked his ears and changed what Yan Xiaobao had said. Nodded, a dark cloud could be seen on the face of the white-haired boy. He almost regretted using the power that Lan Feng had carefully cultivated before. He was currently in a situation where he could not withdraw.
Xu Biao was quiet for a while, but after a while, his eyes became cold. When he saw them behind him, a sneer appeared on his face, trying to find the scars, just to see everything that normal citizens have in their daily lives.
Nodding, he turned to Yan Xiaobao and patted the little boy on his shoulder, "In this case, you and me, Xie Lan and other elders are happy together. If we unite, then we should be able to take him away."
Hearing the old man say these words, the young man felt eternal gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and he really couldn't express his feelings. He knew that Zhou Long was for his sake and for Yan Xiaobao, and one assassin after another appeared with their team. But no matter what, his friends were there to help him to deal with the trouble he brought.
Going back and putting the memory stone back in his pocket, Yan Xiaobao complained for a short time, and he wanted to know what possibility he had. Although he could no longer learn from Lan Feng's power, Yan Xiaobao was not the one who gave up. His eyes shone with some kind of light, lasting light.
As the caravan walked along the road, a cloaked figure was hidden in the shadows of the two houses, his eyes radiating the intention of murder, and beside him was a huge demon beast. Looking at the caravan, a smile appeared on his face, and with his sleeves gently moving, he disappeared into the shadow and moved in the same direction as the caravan was driving.
Nothing happened in the next few days. If it weren't for their intention to kill, Yan Xiaobao would have believed that they were on the journey alone and things went as planned.
Unfortunately, he was still not sure what he could do to the man. What action should they take as soon as they entered the tunnel, because it was obvious that people from the Black Dragon Legion would follow them into the tunnel. It would be impossible for him to escape from the tunnel.
But this trip didn't wait, and they were getting closer and closer to the tunnel every day. On the fourth day, they were able to see the cave wall on the horizon. There was a gate leading to the tunnel on the cave wall, leading to the next cave. Although the guards were excited because none of them had left their cave, Yan Xiaobao was scared because he knew the person who followed them.
Looking back, it seems that the man realizes he can't bring them to his head, so they know their only option is to be together all the time, rather than giving Scarface the chance to hunt them down one by one.
"Don't worry too much about him," said Xu Biao, who noticed the frown on the young man's face, obviously busy thinking about something he had done. "You're not alone," continued the guild master, "just let that man handle it with Xie Lan."
After hearing these words, Yan Xiaobao felt grateful, but he was not used to relying on strong people. Although he was very grateful for the kindness he showed, he also wanted to do his best, because the person he trusted the most was himself.
The rest of the journey from the cave was completed smoothly. No one was hunted, and the intention to kill was something that the more sensitive members of the organization had become accustomed to. Scarface had no help to the group at all, but following behind was somewhat more daunting than they knew what his plan was.
After thinking again, Yan Xiaobao was a little sure the reason he did nothing was because he was waiting for them to enter the tunnel, but even if he knew this, he could do nothing. Their destination was on the other side of the tunnel system, and stopping was not an option.
Yan Xiaobao considered leaving the entourage to his friends because he knew that the man was following him; however, now that he had contacted the young Master Yang Bai, Yan Xiaobao had no doubt that scarface would kill anyone related to him.
Yan Xiaobao sighed deeply and continued to walk forward for seven days. They arrived at the tunnel. The butler left the carriage and showed the task information to the guards. After that, the door was opened, allowing the entourage to pass and enter the dark world.
Or that's what they expected. But, unlike cave's �
The illuminated road was followed by a Yan Xiaobao and his entourage, but even if it was illuminated and a little safe, the demon beast could attack at any time. Therefore, all the friends occupied a circle around the convoy to protect it from invisible attacks.
