C242 To the Demon Descending Ridge
The Devil Conquering Ridge was a place filled with Yin Qi. Millions of years ago, wars were in a state of chaos, and countless people had died in it, but those who died were also left behind in the Devil Conquering Ridge, so remember that it was not buried, but cast away in the demonic world. This place was originally a dark place, because of the piles of corpses, which had accumulated for a long time, the place was filled with evil spirits, although they were not poisonous, but it was very easy to disturb one's mind.
At this time, they were slowly moving along the road that they had to take to get to the Devil Conquering Ridge. From afar, they could see the billowing smoke and dust, and within the smoke and dust, they could vaguely see how much goods were being carried on the carriage.
Five days later!
The sun hung high in the sky. The cold winter's sunlight was not harsh, on the contrary, it was very comfortable bathing in people's bodies. The group of people from Zhang Family Castle hurried there while laughing heartily.
"Right, Soong Hui, where are the steamed buns and fruits that we brought? Take them out and we'll eat some. This Devil Conquering Ridge is still a distance away." He himself, however, casually lifted the wine jug and took a gulp.
"Here, three steamed buns and two fruits for one person." Undoing a cloth bag, in the bag are wrapped steamed buns, fruits, began to distribute to everyone, Mu Yi also took steamed buns and fruits.
In the afternoon and morning, in order to hasten their journey, they would simply eat a little to fill their stomachs. At night, after they set up camp, they would have time to hunt Demon Beast s.
They were all Martial Cultivator and had a large appetite. When they ate, they did not care about etiquette at all, as being full was more important than anything else, and if they did not have enough to eat, they would not even have enough strength to fight.
"This steamed bun tastes quite good." Mu Yi secretly thought in his heart, eating steamed buns and drinking cold water, joking with a bunch of boorish men, but Mu Yi inexplicably felt a sense of warmth, "I like this kind of life!" Mu Yi thought silently as he looked at the blazing sun.
They were a group of honest, simple men.
When Mu Yi's group hurried on their way, there were at least five or six roads away from them.
By the side of the road, there was a mound filled with withered weeds. Behind the mound, there was a group of bandits hiding.
"Grandson Zhao, you're in such a hurry. You asked me to bring some people to ambush you here. That Brother Lang of yours, you won't spread a false message and purposely trick me right?" "A tanned man with bull-like eyes and a sturdy build, dressed in a black cotton robe and carrying a broadsword on his back, stood out. He was Bandit Leader.
The triangular-eyed guy said in a low voice, "Don't worry, boss, you're absolutely right. My brother works for a huge merchant guild, why would he lie to me?" "If I'm not completely sure, I'll ride my horse all the way to your place and get you out of here?"
"You wouldn't dare." Bandit Leader sneered, "Watch from the front. When they arrive, let them know immediately."
"Alright." The lean man with triangular eyes was nimble as he ran more than a hundred feet away, staring at the road.
"Bro, do we have enough people?" Beside Bandit Leader, there was a handsome young man. This young man had also reached the One Star of Creation, but with a glance, he seemed like an extremely shrewd person.
For two strong Creation Stage experts to become robbers, it is truly a big deal! " Don't worry, Third Brother, according to what Grandson Zhao said, the other side has a total of sixty people! Furthermore, he had to take into account a large amount of goods! We, the two hundred and third brother, mother land, give them a few waves of bows and arrows to try first. They will probably fall at least half of them. Hmph, if it wasn't for these goods, I wouldn't even bother to bring so many brothers. " The ruthless bandit leader stuck his machete into the ground and sneered.
"Big Brother, you should still be careful. I heard that the other side also have strong Creation Stage experts." The handsome youth reminded.
"Afraid of what? A single blade from your brother alone is enough to make them cry out for their mothers! " The ruthless bandit leader spat out a mouthful of saliva as he cursed. He didn't believe that the two of them, two One Star of Creation experts, could not take down these little lambs.
A long time later.
"Boss." The triangular-eyed man, who was not far away, rushed over with his back bent and a face full of joy, "The fat sheep have come. It's about three hundred meters away. The horse carriage is loaded with a great amount of goods. I recognized them from afar."
Bandit Leader's eyes lit up. The surrounding criminals are all very excited, but none of them made a sound. These criminals are all habitual bandits. They are very clear that they must not reveal their whereabouts at this time. " "Brothers." The bandit leader lowered his voice, and his expression turned sinister. "After a while, the people from the Zhang Family Fortress arrived, and after I give the order, the brothers will attack them together. It's best if we shoot more than half of them to death in the beginning, and then after we rob the goods, we can go to the Spring Fragrance Garden to enjoy ourselves!"
The group of bandits all laughed, but their eyes revealed a cruel light, just like beasts that were ready to attack.
Mu Yi and the rest didn't even know that there was an ambush ahead. The bandits had already started to take out their arrows and were ready to attack.
The bandits' movements were very light, and logically speaking, ordinary people wouldn't be able to hear them.
"Hmm?" Mu Yi's ears twitched as he glanced at the mound in the distance.
The Spirit Power had reached the realm of Earth Spirit Master, so Mu Yi's six senses were extremely sensitive. Before ordinary people even got close to him, he had already realized that this was a wilderness!
The surroundings were completely silent. And behind the distant mound, there were over a hundred people hiding and preparing to attack. No matter how well they hide, Mu Yi would still be aware of it. " "Soong Zhi." Mu Yi suddenly said. "What's wrong?" Soong Zhi asked doubtfully with a slightly tipsy tone.
"Everyone stop." Mu Yi frowned, a group of people immediately looked at him. Mu Yi lowered his voice, "Did everyone see that?" I have a feeling that there are people hiding behind that mound. Moreover, there are quite a few of them. There are at least two hundred of them, and there are also two powerful Manifestation practitioners. "
The group of people's faces immediately changed when they heard this. They only had 60 people on their side, if there were 200 people on their side, then even if they used human sea tactics, it would still kill them. And with the addition of two Manifestation stage elites, their hearts sank, although Mu Yi had gotten along well with them these past few days, they didn't know what cultivation level Mu Yi was at.
Mu Yi looked at the mound as he started to think quickly.
"What? There's so many people? What do we do?" Soong Zhi looked at Mu Yi, although he was not afraid of One Star of Creation experts and he knew that Mu Yi had Two Stars of Creation strength, dealing with them was not a problem, but they were not afraid, and that did not mean that there were guards left, I was definitely massacred by so many people.
Soong Zhi stared at the mound and said in a low voice, "There's no other way, so let's do it this way. We'll take a detour to the side of the road." If their target was us, we would have been unable to hold back and rushed out. We would have been able to distance ourselves from them and prevent them from launching a sneak attack. "
"Alright, let's do it this way."
The leader on the way was Soong Zhi. With his words, the guards had no other choice but to do this.
Mu Yi and the rest walked onto the small road, maintaining a distance of around 600 feet from the mound. From this distance, even if normal arrows were able to hit, they would be weak, this was also to prevent them from making trouble. Some of the bows were made with special materials, specifically made to deal with Martial Cultivator s, causing great damage.
"Motherf * cker!" "When that Bandit Leader saw this, his face changed." How could it be possible that the people from the Zhang Family Fortress have noticed us? "
"Boss, what should we do?" The triangular-eyed man said anxiously.
"What else can we do?" Bandit Leader's expression was ferocious, a trace of madness flashed across his eyes, "I have over a hundred people, why are you afraid of them?" Brothers, listen up! "In a while, charge with your father. When the archers get close, shoot them all down."
Those bandits were all covered with killing intent. How many lives had each of them lost? Killing people was just like a regular dish!
Mu Yi walked to the far left, because the mound was on the left.
"Those robbers shouldn't be here to rob us, right?" Soong Hui lowered his voice.
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't worry about whether or not you are going to deal with us. Get ready." Soong Zhi's expression was solemn. Everyone was highly concentrated, be it holding a spear or a longbow. This was not the first time. If one wanted to live well in this world, they had to be more ruthless than others.

Everyone was highly concentrated, be it holding a spear or a longbow. This was not the first time. If one wanted to live well in this world, they had to be more ruthless than others.
At this moment, everyone was holding their breath.
"Kill!" A violent roar came from behind the mound, and a dark burly man with a thick machete was the first to rush over. A large group of people followed behind him, charging down from the mound like a pack of wolves.
"Attack!" Soong Zhi shouted.
"Swoosh!"
The first wave of arrows released from the Zhang Family Fortress was just that they were far away from each other. Moreover, there were too few people here, and only twelve people had bows and arrows. The first wave of arrows only injured a bandit's arm.
The rain of arrows that filled the sky was so dense that if someone were to be hit in the front, they would definitely become a hornet's nest. Senior Brother, there are too many of them, what should we do? " Many cultivators from the Dayin Temple anxiously said.
"Master Soong Zhi, bring the goods with you and leave first. We'll block them here." They were the loyal guards of the Zhang Family Castle, so this time's goods were extremely important. Even if they were to lose their lives, they had to ensure the safety of these goods!
