Phoenix’s Requiem - 175. Chapter 175
“I heard that you are going to fight for an official with my brother.” Rong Yueshan, in a bright red female outfit, looked at Yun Moxiao, who was riding on the horse and was more than a head taller than her.
“There is nothing you can’t grab.” Yun Mo said lightly, “The capable one lives.”
After hearing Yun Moxiao’s words, Rong Yueshan gave a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and said in a rather provocative tone: “You better be careful.”
After speaking, she rode sideways and the team behind her immediately followed Yun Ruoyan and the others and passed by.
Yi Qianying stared at Yun Ruoyan coldly the whole time, and Yun Ruoyan stared at her without giving way until Yi Qianying turned her head.
There are many roads to the Kongming Mountain Range and into the Kongming Peak. Yi Qianying and Rong Yueshan took the main road, but Yun Ruoyan and others took the small road.
Yun Ruoyan and the five of them rode on the road and shook off their whips and ran all the way, reaching the foot of the Kongming Mountains at 10 o’clock in the afternoon.
Although it was a small road, the few people encountered two groups of students from all over the Shen Yuan Continent along the way. Because they were destined to be opponents, we didn’t communicate much, and we all went their own way.
When the night fell, several people had already entered the interior of the Kongming Mountain Range. At this speed, they could reach the Kongming Peak about this time tomorrow.
The last time Li Mo Yujian took Yun Ruoyan to Kongming Peak, it probably took less than an hour on the road, and Yun Ruoyan couldn’t help but began to feel how convenient it is to have a divine sword.
After a few people ate some dry food and Zhuo Yifeng’s roasted pheasant, they began to meditate and continue to rush to maintain their energy the next day.
Because after a day’s journey, everyone was very tired and soon fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, Chu Chu suddenly started yelling in Yun Ruoyan’s mind.
“Master, wake up Master!”
Yun Ruoyan woke up from her sleep, she was very anxious when she heard the tone of tweeted, and then asked: “tweeted, what’s the matter?”
“There is a strong breath around here, and I don’t know what to do from time to time. Master, you have to be careful.” Tweeted back.
Yun Ruoyan woke up completely, she didn’t immediately alarm the people next to her, but calmly felt the breath around her.
If you really encounter a particularly powerful opponent, you can’t act rashly.
The strange thing is that Yun Ruoyan did not feel the strong aura that tweeted about, she felt only a few weak auras, and her cultivation should not exceed the fourth level of the sword master.
“Master, that strong breath has disappeared again, I don’t know what happened, there are still a few smaller breaths left.” At this time, tweeted again.
“Did you leave?” Yun Ruoyan guessed.
“It’s also possible that the breath is hidden.” Tweeted.
At this moment, the four firework mutant horses tied not far away suddenly made uneasy sounds, and Yun Moxiao and Zhuo Yifeng were awakened.
“No, it’s a horse thief!” Yun Moxiao immediately snorted and ran towards the place where the horse was bolted. Zhuo Yifeng also followed.
The neighing sound of the horse awakened Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingchen, and then there was the sound of fighting again.
“What’s the matter, Sister Ruoyan?” Lin Qingchen and Lin Qingxue asked Yun Ruoyan with doubts.
“It may be a horse thief, I’ll go and see.” Yun Ruoyan said, getting up and walking in the direction where the fighting sound was made.
If there are only a few horse thieves, Yun Moxiao and Zhuo Yifeng can deal with them enough, if not, they have to be more careful.
Therefore, Yun Ruoyan did not rush over, but walked there step by step with caution. As she walked, she asked, “Brother, what’s the situation?”
“It’s a few horse thieves.” Yun Moxiao replied. Both he and Zhuo Yifeng held the lighting equipment made with the inner alchemy of beasts in their hands. Under the shining white light, Yun Ruoyan saw three clouds squatting on the ground. The people of Mo Xiao and Zhuo Yifeng subdued.
Each of the firework mutant horses has to be sold for thousands of gold coins, which is very valuable.
Now is the day when the students of Kongming Academy rush to the Academy. A large part of the students are from large families. There will be many precious mutant horses, so it is not unusual to encounter horse thieves at night.
“Forgive me, we are just a few ordinary thieves, just wanting to steal horses to exchange for some money is not harmful.” One of the men in his thirties begged for mercy.
Yun Ruoyan saw that they were dressed in linen clothes and dressed as untouchables. Judging from their aura, their cultivation bases were only around the fourth-level sword master. Generally, in their thirties, there is only a fourth-level sword master’s cultivation base, and it can only be regarded as an extremely ordinary existence among cultivators.
On the Shen Yuan Continent, the general nurses or yamen are above the fifth-level sword master, and the fourth-level sword master is only better than ordinary people. If there is no special means of earning a living, they can only do coolies.
But there are many people who are unwilling to do coolies and become thieves and robbers. These people must be of this kind.
This type of people is the most annoying. If ordinary people who have no cultivation level meet them, they will be very miserable. If they are caught by masters like they are today, they will often be killed directly.
After the first person asked for mercy, the other two also began to beg for mercy.
“Get out!” Yun Moxiao shouted at the three of them, “Don’t let me see you!”
Zhuo Yifeng also took the bowstring in his hand from the neck of one of them.
The three stumbled and escaped.
Seeing that the horses were not unusual, several people went to rest, but Yun Ruoyan was still a little strange in her heart.
Early in the morning of the second day, when a few people got up, they found something wrong, and their firework mutant horses were all dead.
Several people squatted down to check the horses and found that the four firework horses had bleeding gums, their eyes were wide open, and their eyes were blue. It seemed that they had died of some kind of strange poison.
“Damn it!” Zhuo Yifeng couldn’t help but cursed, “It must be the three horse thieves who did it last night.”
Everyone thought that the three people just wanted to steal the horse, but they didn’t expect that they wanted to poison the horse instead of stealing the horse.
“Are those horse thieves sick?” Lin Qingxue wondered: “Stealing horses can be sold for money. What good is it for them if they are poisoned? It is really detrimental to others.”
Yun Ruoyan thought for a while and said, “Maybe they just want to do something that hurts others and disadvantages themselves.”
“Sister Ruoyan, what do you mean?” Lin Qingchen asked.
“This poison is quite strange, unlike what ordinary horse thieves can have. If I’m right, someone bought them to poison our mount so that we can’t get to Kongming Academy in time.”
Yun Ruoyan put her hands around her chest. She contacted the situation last night and inferred: “The test of Kongming Academy will be the deadline at noon the day after tomorrow. If we miss that time, we will be disqualified. This is because some people don’t want us to enter Kongming Academy. .”
Several people have always thought that after entering the trial land, there will be various difficulties and dangers, but they did not think that they would be calculated before they reached the Kongming Academy.
“It’s my fault, I was deceived by those three rat generations.” Yun Moxiao said with quite annoyance.
“Brother, you can’t be blamed for this.” Yun Ruoyan said, “When we discovered the three people, it was estimated that the horse had been poisoned. Even if the three people were killed, we wouldn’t be able to escape the current results.”
Except for Lin Qingxue, all the people present were more cautious, but this incident was too much to guard against.
“Then what should I do now?” Lin Qingxue asked with a wrinkled face. Without a mount, even if she doesn’t sleep at night, she will not be able to make it to the day after tomorrow.
Yun Mo Xiao Yujian can only take one person. If there is really no way at the end, he can only guarantee that Yun Ruoyan will be delivered on time, but before the last moment, Yun Moxiao and Yun Ruoyan don’t want to give up any of them.
In the end, several people decided to speed up and hurry up.
Several people ran into a team that came from behind.
When someone in the team saw them, they gloated and said that this was the third team they had encountered along the way to lose their mount.
After hearing this, Yun Ruoyan went up and asked. The answer was that the mounts of the three teams were poisoned to death, just like them. Some of them had already given up and started to go home.
Yun Ruoyan originally thought that this was a behavior specifically aimed at them, but now it does not seem to be. According to this analysis, there should be students who want to reduce competitors, so that this kind of action will be taken.
And this kind of big move is definitely not something ordinary students can do, maybe it’s the behavior of a certain family, it seems that the fight has already begun now!
Yun Ruoyan looked at the front team. The eight people were dressed in Shen Guo’s costumes. Shen Guo was located on a plain near the sea. He must have never seen such a mountain and forest scene, so they were still enjoying the scenery as they walked.
Because there was enough time, and there were teams without mounts that they encountered along the way, they relaxed their minds and walked unhurriedly.
An idea came into Yun Ruoyan’s heart. She glanced at Yun Moxiao and found that Yun Moxiao was also looking at her. The siblings nodded each other, and they had the same cares in their hearts.
The front team had about seven or eight people and eight firework horses. If four horses could be allocated to them, the problem would be solved.
It’s just that the eight people obviously wouldn’t do this, and no one would find an opponent for themselves if it was okay. Yun Ruoyan and their situation at this time were actually what they would like to see.
Yun Ruoyan followed that team unhurriedly, but they quickly aroused their defense.
“Brother, will the people behind grab our mounts?” A mad-looking teenager asked the leader of the team.
This boss is a handsome young man, he looks a bit smaller than Yun Moxiao, and older than Yun Ruoyan, about the same age as Zhuo Yifeng.
“It’s very possible if you are pressed into a hurry.” The boss said, “It seems that their cultivation level is quite high and we are not opponents. Speed up and get rid of them.”
The eight people threw off their whips and no longer admired the scenery, but ran away all the way.
In less than an hour on the tortuous valley mountain road, the eight-person team would throw Yun Ruoyan and the others out of sight.
After throwing away Yun Ruoyan and the others, the eight people slowed down again, and when the sky was just getting dark, the eight people camped and rested.
After eating and drinking, the eight people talked about the beautiful life of Kongming Academy that was about to begin, while humming Shen Guo’s songs, and gradually fell asleep.
Time passed slowly, the bonfire gradually went out, and the camp snored everywhere.
Yun Ruoyan, Yun Moxiao and Zhuo Yifeng condensed their breath and quietly hid among the bushes next to the camp.
Yun Ruoyan couldn’t help sighing, “These eight people are really big-hearted. Even if there are no people staying at the night, they still sleep so hard. The cultivation base itself is not high, isn’t it here to die!”
Of course, Yun Ruoyan and the others couldn’t kill and rob horses, but they could wait for the arrival of the three horse thieves, and then catch them when they are poisoned!
