Chapter 342
342 Passing the test
After killing the head of the desert bandits, the assassin didn’t stay idle. While the other desert bandits were panicking, the assassin easily caught up with some escaping bandits with a dance-like rhythm. He raised his saber and chopped off the heads of those bandits.
Rather than a battle, it was more like a massacre.
The strength of both sides was not on the same level at all.
The desert bandits who had been arrogant just a moment ago had fallen to the ground in just a few moments after the appearance of these three Summoners. They had become scattered corpses, and not a single one of them had managed to escape.
Soon, the valley was filled with the burning smell of human and Scorpion bodies being burned by high-temperature flames and the strong smell of blood.
Mu li and the other members of the camel caravan widened their eyes and did not even dare to breathe.
Xia Pingan also quietly took two steps back to make herself stand in an inconspicuous position.
it’s just a few desert bandits. I thought I could finally meet the people of the blood demon church and have a good time killing them. What a disappointment. the summoner who had summoned the assassin landed gently in front of mu li and the others. He was like a feather, elegant and beautiful, without a speck of dust.
how can there be so many people from the bloody demon church for you to kill? ” another Summoner flew over and landed gently on the ground. He shook his head slightly. we’ve been patrolling the border for so long, but we haven’t seen a single person from the bloody demon church. The other provinces have been exterminating them for two months, but those bloody demon church people don’t show up easily now.
previously, I heard that the people of the bloody demon church were causing quite a ruckus in and around Shangjing city just to chase after that Xia Pingan. I really hope that they can come to Fengling province and the border to cause a ruckus and give us something to do! The summoner who had summoned the assassin spread his hands.
The Last Summoner flew over and shot out an icicle in the air. Without even blinking, it nailed the body of a struggling desert bandit on the ground like a worm. He landed and clapped his hands lightly, ” alright, we’ve killed them all. Although it’s not the blood demon church, these desert bandits are not good people either. They actually dared to cross the border and Rob the great Shang kingdom. They’re courting death!
The three Summoners chatted among themselves, and the people in the camel team were so scared that they didn’t even dare to breathe.
Mu li shrunk his head and looked at the symbol of the dark church of war on the black robes of the three Summoners in fear. He swallowed his saliva nervously. Although these three people had just saved the camel caravan, they represented the officials of the great Shang kingdom. The camel caravan that he led was a smuggling team on the border. How could a mouse not be afraid when it saw a cat?
“Who’s the leader of the camel caravan?” The Last Summoner who landed looked around and asked.
“I’m Zhenzhen, I’m the leader of this camel caravan!” Mu li forced a bitter smile on his face and patted the centipede beside him. The centipede’s curled up body suddenly stretched out a bit like a door on the wall. It changed from an O shape to a U shape, allowing mu li to walk out of the centipede’s protective circle.
“What’s your name?”
“Mu li!” Mu li replied honestly.
“What happened just now?”
Mu li then told him the entire story of the desert bandits “attack.
After mu li finished speaking, the three Summoners “gazes shifted away from him. They were no longer interested in him.
“Who is the summoner here?” The assassin Summoner glanced at the corpses of the desert bandits and asked.
cough, cough. I’m Yingluo. Xia Pingan could only walk out.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m cui Li Chengcheng.”
Cui Li was a fake name that Xia Pingan gave himself. After changing his identity, when others asked him for his name, this name would naturally appear in his mind. Therefore, Xia Pingan used it.
“Why are you in the caravan?”
my Lord, he’s the guard our caravan hired, Yingluo. before Xia ping ‘an could speak, mu li, who was beside him, spoke up. The honest-looking mu li lied, and his expression was extremely realistic. He only gave Xia ping’ an a look.
“Oh, Yingluo.”
Xia ping ‘an’s aura was only that of a low-level Summoner. The two corpses on the ground were also very weak. The three Summoners did not pay much attention to them. When they heard mu li say that Xia ping’ an was a camel caravan Guard, they shifted their gaze away from Xia ping ‘an.
It was actually quite common for the camel teams to recruit low-level Summoners as guards.
As for how to conceal the aura of divine power in his body, it was a long story. This was also an ability that Xia Pingan had just discovered in the past two months.
For the past two months, Xia Pingan had not entered the spirit world again in order to play it safe. However, the soul power that he had consumed to kill the gluttonous insects in the spirit world had been completely restored.
Due to the absorption of the Nightmare’s soul power, Xia Pingan’s soul power, which had completely recovered, had reached ” 13.5 slashes “. When he had first entered the spirit world, his soul power had only reached ” 4.5 slashes “. His soul power had increased by three times.
After his soul power had increased, for some reason, Xia Pingan discovered that he had naturally gained the ability to hide the aura of his divine power. He could control the strength of the aura emitted by the summoner’s Secret mandala, and everything was done naturally.
Not only that, but Xia Pingan also realized that her ” long-distance vision ” ability had unknowingly improved a lot. She could ” see ” further and the details of things that she could ” see ” were more and clearer.
He remembered that when Xia Pingan had just joined the public order Committee for the assessment of his awakened ability, his ” far-seeing ” ability was rated as F-Class. In the past two days, if he were to judge it according to the previous standards, Xia Pingan felt that his ” far-seeing ” ability might have reached E-Class.
The increase in soul power in the spirit world could actually bring about a series of changes in his body. This was something Xia Pingan had never expected.
To Xia ping ‘an, everything in the spirit world was like a treasure vault waiting for him to excavate.
“Besides these desert bandits, did you encounter any other special people or things on the way?”
“No, we’ve only met this group of desert bandits in the past two days!”
After asking a few more questions, the three Summoners lost interest in the camel caravan.
“Mu Li, I’ll remember you. You’re lucky to have met us this time. When you get back to Fengling province, remember to pay the taxes you’ve escaped from this time. Then, report to the anti-smuggling team and explain to them. Also, you guys take care of the bodies of the desert bandits.”
Mu li nodded and bowed, looking relieved,”I will, I will.”
After a few words, the three Summoners were too lazy to stay any longer. They were not interested in the goods on the camel team’s centipede. They were too lazy to look at them. The three Summoners rose into the air and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Xia Pingan looked at mu li and nodded at him. A smile appeared on her face. thank you. If not, I’m afraid I’d be in a bit of trouble!
Mu li laughed bitterly, ” no need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you. You just saved my life!
“Those Summoners seem to be too lazy to care about the camel caravan?”
yes, they’re the military’s high-level Summoners. They’re all flying in the sky and traveling on the ground. The things in our camel team are nothing to them. We’re just working hard to earn some money. Why would they care about that? ” mu li sighed. He looked at the bodies of the guards and riders who had been killed by the desert bandits. Tears came out of his eyes. He cheered himself up, wiped his tears, and began to command the others to collect the bodies of their comrades and clean up the battlefield.
The sabers and swords of the desert bandits were of good quality, which could be exchanged for some money. They had at least a few gold and silver coins on them, which could more or less make up for the losses of the camel caravan.
……
While the others were busy, Xia ping ‘an was not idle either. He came to the corpse of a desert bandit whose chest had been pierced by an icicle and nailed to the ground. He took off the wolf mask and looked at it.
The wolf mask was brand new. The key was that it was exquisitely designed. The crystal lens on the wolf mask could block sand and maintain vision. The copper windpipe on the mask was ingeniously constructed, allowing people to breathe in the sand underground.
This thing was still somewhat useful.
Xia Pingan put away a desert Bandit’s Wolf mask.
……
Under the command of mu li and the other disciples, the huge feet of the centipedes soon dug out some rows of big pits on the ground.
Xia ping ‘an, mu li, and the others dragged those corpses into the big pits. The huge feet of the centipede then dug the soil outside the big pits and directly buried the people in the soil.
After hastily cleaning up the battlefield and putting away their sorrow, the camel team once again drove the centipede on its way.
Mu Li’s eyes reddened as he raised his voice, and a desolate folk song echoed in the desert.
the moon is bent in half a day, the boat is bent by the river, the two banks of the river are on opposite sides of the slope, the shoulder pole is on the opposite side, the man rides the world, the sister is at home waiting for the man to return, after walking 99 rivers and mountains, the heart is on fire on the way home, the boat is on the beach while the water is big, the sister wants to love the man while the youth is tired.
In the beginning, only mu li was singing the folk song. Slowly, the entire camel caravan started to sing.
The song immersed the entire camel caravan in a strange atmosphere.
Listening to the Song, Xia Pingan thought of his companions in the sky mending plan, Cao Cao, and Xia Ning.
……
When the sky turned dark, the number of wild beasts in the wilderness increased. The camel team chased away a few aardwolves on the way and arrived at Moon Castle.
The moon fortress was an abandoned fortress. The entire moon fortress was filled with broken bricks. No one knew how many years it had been abandoned.
Mu li said that when his grandfather was young, this moon fortress was already like this. He heard that this used to be a military fortress of the great Shang kingdom. Later on, it was destroyed and abandoned, never to be rebuilt again.
The abandoned military fortress in the wilderness was a rare place for the camel caravan to rest.
After feeding the centipede, the camel caravan lit a fire in the castle and roasted some dry food.
The next day, before dawn, the caravan continued on their way. After another day of bumpy travel, they crossed countless yellow hills and a towering mountain range appeared on the horizon.
In the secluded mountain, to Xuanji
