C421 Tribulation
The caravan walked very slowly, very leisurely.
After every car was pulled over, a deep crease would be left on the road, showing how heavy the stuff was.
"We have to do this every month. When will this be the end?"
A young man in his prime complained. His body was very dark, apparently caused by exposure to the sun all year round.
In front of him was a middle-aged man who was even older than him. His face was full of holes, as if he had been made into such a state by the venom.
"It's almost time. In two to three months, it'll be someone else's turn to send us this message. I just don't know where we'll be going then." Apparently, he didn't like the idea of taking the Graymist Mountain Range either.
"Humph!" That's how unlucky I am. For the past two years, I have been escorting people for supplies. The young man complained again.
Behind him was an old man. After laughing for a while, he said, "Just be content with what you have! "Although this job has been hard on you, it is still safe as long as you are alive."
In his opinion, he was not the same kind of person as this old man. At least, he did not want to spend his whole life in such a dull manner, "If you keep doing this, then you will not have the chance to earn any merits.
With that, he raised his head high, like a proud peacock. It was as if the people around him were all dust, and he was the pearl buried with the dust.
This time, no one replied him, and he didn't care too much about it. Thus, he didn't notice that the old man behind him shook his head with a smile, while a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the strong man in front. The others around him all laughed and shook their heads just like the old man. Obviously, they were all mocking the young man for what he had just said.
They would do this kind of thing once a month, and as they drove, there was nothing new they could do. Sometimes, they would even look forward to something new, such as Demonic Beast s that could slip through the net, allowing them to move their muscles, not mentioning that they could improve their food.
But no, this was the Graymist Mountain Range, the property of the Zheng Family. No one dared to make an enemy out of the Zheng Family in the Zheng Province, and they couldn't even do any small tricks behind their back.
Suddenly, on the cliff above them, a series of rumbling sounds could be heard. The first one they noticed was Demonic Beast, they suddenly stopped and roared towards the sky, causing the entire convoy to stop.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know!" "What is that sound?"
"Not good, it's a boulder!" Suddenly, a voice rang out. The entire caravan was in an uproar as an enormous boulder actually tumbled down from the cliff.
"Protect the supplies! If anything goes wrong, we'll all die!" The leader was clearly experienced. He took the lead and flew up first, and as he did so, a row of soldiers suddenly stood up and placed their shields around themselves. Only a portion of them practiced martial arts, while the rest were just healthy ordinary soldiers.
Bang!
Before the boulder could hit the row of defenses, the leader kicked it into the air and shattered it.
"Alright!"
"Leader Xia is mighty!"
"What great martial arts, what divine strength!"
Praise came out one by one, but the leader surnamed Xia didn't look happy at all.
Rumble ….
Rumble ….
Another wave of rolling stones sounded, but this time, the sounds were even more concentrated.
"This is bad!"
As soon as his voice fell, countless boulders rolled down the cliff.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of flesh being smashed could be heard, and the roars of Demonic Beast s pulling the carriage could be heard. These Demonic Beast s had been tamed by humans and had long since lost their wildness, so calling them poultry now was more appropriate.
"Enemy attack …"
"Enemy attack!"
"Oh no, there's an enemy!"
The voices came from all directions, and one by one, the men came to their senses from their relaxed state. In the blink of an eye, they were filled with fear.
"Help, help!"
The ambitious young man from before had suddenly stood up like a frightened bird. At this moment, he was afraid.
He suddenly recalled the old man's words.
"As long as I'm alive!"
Before this, he had been looking down on the other party and thought that he was just a person who was waiting to die. But now, he realized how childish and ignorant he was. That's right! As long as he was alive.
A giant boulder suddenly appeared in front of him, causing the young man's eyes to narrow.
He wanted to move, but it was as if his body was disobedient. He could not move at all, and his entire body was trembling violently.
Suddenly, with a clang, a large blade slammed into the boulder. At the same time, a huge force kicked his body.
In an instant, he was sent flying two meters away.
The moment he flew out, the huge rock smashed into the place he was at just now. There was a loud, heavy sound, and he had no doubt that if he had been there just now, he would have already been a meat patty.
He then looked at the "savior" who kicked him just now. His figure was slightly hunched, and even a bit frail. Unexpectedly, it was that old man whom he had disdained just now.
At this moment, the old man was no longer smiling, but rather eating like a fool. His eyes were sharp and nervous, and his bloodshot eyes were as vicious as those of a hungry wolf in the Dark Forest.
"Don't want to die, pick up the blade and stand up!"
The old man just coldly said this, but his eyes didn't show the slightest emotion. But at this moment, his face was very red.
He even heard several people around the old man, including the sturdy middle-aged man who walked in front of him, and the skinny middle-aged man who was like a monkey walking to his left saying, "Who cares about that trash."
That old man could only shake his head helplessly and say, "Hand-to-hand!"
His life was actually only owed to him by someone else. He couldn't bear it for now.
At this moment, the lofty ambitions from before seemed to have turned into countless sarcastic bugs, gnawing on his body and making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Rumble ….
Rumble ….
Another wave of boulders rolled down. However, this time, the boulders were covered in flames. They were like giant fireballs, carrying an aura that could destroy everything as they rolled down.
Dozens of powerful auras instantly gushed out of the convoy, and a bone-chilling aura rushed towards the fireballs, followed by dozens of warriors rushing out.
After a series of banging sounds, the blade was unharmed and the huge rock was smashed into smithereens.
"Who is it?" You actually dare to touch something in my Zheng Family, do you all not want to live anymore? " The leader surnamed Xia shouted out, his voice filled with authority.
This was a place that the young man had always envied. He had even thought about when he would be like the other party and be so mighty that with a single word, everyone would kneel down and submit.
At the very least, from his point of view, Leader Xia's voice was extremely loud. Even if the other party was an extremely vicious outlaw, he would still be terrified. He even saw him walking out obediently and submitting to him.
But just as his mind relaxed, a calm, even disdainful voice came from the forest above the cliff.
"I'm sorry, but what I robbed is something from your Zheng Family …"
