Zhang Hao also wanted to take advantage of the night to leave Crotch City. When he went invisible and passed through the city gate, the guards guarding the city did not notice at all. Someone swaggered past them.
The moon in this world was as big as the moon on Earth. In contrast, the moon was much brighter than the moon on Earth.
It had been some time since Zhang Hao left Cloco City, but he hadn't met a single traveler on the way. It seemed that the people of this world didn't like to walk at night. It was no wonder. Strange roars could be heard from the woods on both sides of the road or in the bushes that were as tall as a person from time to time. Even Zhang Hao felt his hair stand on end, let alone ordinary people.
However, this also made it convenient for Zhang Hao to use his lightness skill to travel. If there were too many people on the road, Zhang Hao would definitely not use his lightness skill without any scruples. If that was the case, it would definitely take a lot of time to walk to the next city.
Originally, Zhang Hao planned to travel at night. If he used his lightness skill, he would be able to reach Bota, another famous city in the south, by the next morning. This city was the transportation hub connecting the east, west, north, and south of the Torres Neutral Nation. It was said to be very prosperous.
However, Zhang Hao encountered a convoy coming from another direction at a three-way intersection. They took a turn at the fork in the road and seemed to be heading in the direction of Bota City.
Zhang Hao felt that it was very strange. This group of people was definitely not mercenaries. Zhang Hao had worked in the union for a few days, so he knew a lot about mercenaries. Even if they were of the same profession, they would wear the same type of armor, but the style would be different. After all, mercenaries were not regular soldiers. Of course, the big mercenary groups were an exception. For example, the Azure Dragon Mercenary Group. Their warriors all wore the same style of armor with the Azure Dragon engraved on it.
However, the knights of this convoy were different. They wore the same green armor with golden carvings on it, which were extremely exquisite. Moreover, the symbol of the sun was cast on their shields. There were about fifty knights protecting three gorgeous carriages. The carriages were also engraved with the same sun pattern.
This was definitely not the regular army of the Torres Neutral Nation. Zhang Hao knew that the equipment of the Torres Neutral Nation's regular army was famous for its simplicity and durability. Even the armor of the two royal knights of the little princess was not much different from that of ordinary soldiers.
Could it be a mercenary group or the private soldiers of a noble? But that was impossible. The Torres Neutral Nation stipulated that the private soldiers of a noble or mercenary group should be equipped in the style of a regular army. The only difference was the pattern engraved on their chests to distinguish them.
Since he didn't know the other party's background, it was better to take a detour to prevent the other party from misunderstanding. It would be troublesome if they clashed.
Zhang Hao had made up his mind to take a detour, but the other party had also discovered Zhang Hao. In an instant, more than fifty swords were drawn at the same time. The clanging sounds combined together were truly shocking!
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly and raised his sword horizontally at them. He had heard this from the mercenaries. If they met mercenaries in the wild who were unknown to him, they would raise their swords horizontally to show that they were not hostile. However, Zhang Hao felt that this posture was similar to surrendering. It was especially stupid.
However, this group of cavalrymen completely ignored his pose and quickly formed a square formation, surrounding the three carriages. More than 20 cavalrymen were facing Zhang Hao, and their swords were shining with a dazzling white light.
Blazing Sun War God? Doesn't seem like it. High-level elemental warrior? It didn't seem like it. Just like how the people in this world could not sense Zhang Hao's internal strength, Zhang Hao could not sense his opponent's magic and combat qi. He could only distinguish it from its form. However, this white light did not look like combat qi or magic, so Zhang Hao could not distinguish it.
Who cares, he might as well use the Thief's Emblem to leave first! Zhang Hao was about to turn invisible and escape when an old voice came from the carriage in the middle,""Don't be nervous. He's just an ordinary person!”
Ordinary people? What a joke. If Zhang Hao saw a young man running around in the wilderness in the middle of the night with a long sword in his hand, he would never believe that he was an ordinary person.
However, the knights believed him. They dispersed the white light on their swords, removed the formation, and returned to the escort formation.
"Child, it is too dangerous for you to walk alone at night. Come with us!”The old voice sounded especially kind.
Zhang Hao shook his head with a smile and gave a commoner's bow to express his gratitude.
"Child, don't be too stubborn. Think about your family and friends. Once an accident happens, they will be the ones to bear the pain.”The person in the carriage advised kindly.
"Thank you!" Zhang Hao gave another commoner's salute to express his gratitude. He thought about it carefully just now. He did not know much about this world. If ferocious magical beasts jumped out on the road, he might not be able to deal with them. It would indeed be much safer to travel with them.
"Stop, throw the weapons over first!”The leading knight shouted when he saw Zhang Hao approaching. Although his helmet covered his face and his voice was a bit hoarse, Zhang Hao was sure that it was a woman's voice.
"Dora, don't scare him. There's no smell of blood on his body or weapon.”
"Yes, my lord!" The female knight tilted her body as she indicated Zhang Hao to come here.
'It seems like he's an important minister of a country,' Zhang Hao thought to himself. When he approached the carriage, Zhang Hao couldn't help but frown. What a strong Yang energy. It actually faintly suppressed the Yin energy of the Yin and Yang energy in Zhang Hao's body.
Even the abbot of Shaolin Temple didn't have such dense Yang Qi. Zhang Hao was speechless. In order to not lose balance between the Yin and Yang forces, Zhang Hao could only press all the internal energy in his meridians back to his dantian and turn it into the original Taiji Genuine Qi. However, Zhang Hao's reaction time would be slower than usual. After all, it would take some time to turn Taiji Genuine Qi into Yin and Yang Genuine Qi again. Although this amount of time was negligible for ordinary people, it was often the key to victory for experts.
The Taiji Two Elements Internal Cultivation Method absorbed the Yin and Yang Qi of heaven and earth into the dantian and then transformed it into the Two Elements True Qi of the body. It circulated in the limbs and bones. The internal energy was the combination of Yin and Yang. If it was stored in the dantian, it would be the unborn and indestructible Taiji True Qi. Of course, it was also possible to spit out Yin Force or Yang Force alone, but that would require at least the cultivation of the Tai Chi Two Elements Internal Skill to reach the fifth level. Usually, very few people would do this, because the power of Yin force or Yang force alone was far inferior to the power of Yin and Yang internal force. He would only use it occasionally to help people get rid of the cold and heat, and it would also consume a lot of internal strength.
Such a person could definitely be called a grandmaster on Earth, but Zhang Hao didn't think that he was much worse than him. After coming to this world, although the level of the Taiji Two Forms Internal Cultivation Method was still at the third level, his strength had greatly improved. After nearly three months of meditation, he found that the Yin Yang and Five Elements Qi in this world was much thicker than on Earth. The sudden increase in strength must have something to do with this.
"Child, sit down in the carriage!”The people in the carriage pulled open the curtain and Zhang Hao saw an old man with a white beard. He was wearing a pure white robe and a holy crown made of pure gold on his head!
"Pope!" Zhang Hao finally knew who they were!
