Dark Moon Fights
The grass grows long and the orioles fly. A hundred flowers bloomed. The path in the wilderness was quiet and peaceful. Birds chirped and beasts roared, and it was filled with vitality. This was a small road on the outskirts of Maple Leaf Town.
After a short period of preparation, all the members of the underworld and the disciples of the Long family finally embarked on the journey to the capital of Lan Qi.
The Wanluo World was an ancient and vast world with lush vegetation.
In the post-modern era, the rapid development of industry and technology made green space a legendary existence. The remaining forest vegetation on Earth was less than 10,000 square kilometers. Even the oxygen in the atmosphere had to be produced and discharged by high-tech chemical plants to maintain human breathing.
It was indeed a sad thing.
The development of technology and the advancement of civilization came at the cost of the disappearance of nature.
Green Mountain, who came from the post-modern era, had a deep love for the vibrant green world of Wanluo World. At the same time, they were also amazed by the various strange creatures.
Although he had seen a lot in the Mammoth Forest, whenever he strolled in the Wild Forest, he still felt an indescribable sense of freedom. He was like a young beast that had returned to nature. His entire body was full of vitality and curiosity.
Mounts were indispensable for long journeys, and the mounts in this world were a type of creature known as the Blast Furnace Horse, which was very similar to the warhorses described in the historical information pack on Earth. However, they had horns like cows and sharp teeth like tigers. They could eat meat and grass, and were considered omnivores. Green Mountain naturally classified them as horses. Then, he entered it into Blue Moon's database.
Since it was the duty to protect Green Mountain, it was naturally to protect important people. In fact, when he was serving in the army, Qingshan had received simulation training to protect the country. Although he didn't know how useful it was, he knew that Green Mountain had some experience in guarding.
At this moment, Qingshan was arranged to enter the carriage that protected Long Shu.
The carriage made of ebony had a very strong physical defense. The black color looked a little thick, which made the carriage seem heavier.
However, all of this was just a visual illusion.
In fact, it was a very exquisite and light carriage.
It wasn't big and was very agile. Obviously, it was very suitable for the complicated terrain of the wild forest.
Besides Long Yi and Long Shu, the Twin Flood Dragon Luo Yunxia was also in the carriage.
Actually, the two young men had suddenly become two delicate little beauties. Long Qi, Long Hao, and the others were shocked. However, this made the energetic Long Family disciples extremely happy.
Of course, Long Yi was the happiest. He finally had a companion to chat with.
Perhaps it was because they were both young people, but Qingshan and Wu Shang soon became close to the Long Family disciples. After getting to know each other, he naturally knew their names.
Except for Long Qi, Long Hao, Long Yi, and Long Fan.
There were also ten Long Family disciples. They were called.
Long Biao, Long Meng, Long Fan, Long San, Long Zhan, Long Bo, Long Hua, Long Yan, Long Pan, Long Jue
The other twelve warriors who left a deep impression on Qing Shan were not from the Long family. However, Qing Shan could clearly feel that Long Qi and Long Hao didn't have a good impression of these twelve warriors. It was no wonder that these twelve warriors were as unapproachable as twelve blocks of ice.
What made Qing Shan even more curious was that the names of these twelve people were also very interesting. They all had the surname Yan, and were called First Yan, Second Yan, and the last Yan Twelve.
As for why they were in the team, Draconic Seven did not explain much. Of course, Qingshan and the others were not interested in asking about it.
After all, the great clans more or less had some secrets that few people knew about.
However, after learning their names, Green Mountain was puzzled. Why wasn't Yan Thirteen here? In Gu Long's novels, Yan Shisan was a very powerful swordsman.
The other four maids were Long Shu's childhood friends, and they were very close. The old man named Thousand Rain was the high priest of the Lanqi Empire.
The so-called high priest was equivalent to the existence of the national master. His status was noble. There were twelve high priests like him in the Lanqi Empire.
However, Qingshan also felt that it was strange that the esteemed High Priest would appear in the small Long Family's caravan.
Although the Thousand Rain Great Priest had a kind face, her noble status still made it difficult for others to approach her. Green Mountain could clearly see that the twelve warriors were there to protect the Thousand Rain Great Priest. Therefore, the small caravan camp was naturally divided into two factions.
Wushuang of Green Mountain and the Long Family.
Great Priest Thousand Rain and the twelve guards with the surname Yan were on the same side.
There was a clear distinction between them.
The division of labor in the team was also very clear. The Long Family disciples were responsible for the outer defense and scouting, while the twelve Yan Family guards formed the main force for the inner defense.
Long Qi and Long Pan walked at the front, scouting the way with their alertness. Long Bo and Long Hua protected the whole team on the left and right, while the other eight warriors of the Long family formed a team with Green Mountain to cover the rear. However, there shouldn't be any problems on the first day. Maple Leaf Town was within the defense range of Tassel City, and ordinary bandit gangs wouldn't take the risk to move around here.
Therefore, there wouldn't be any major problems during this journey. Everyone was also very relaxed. They talked loudly along the way, shooting birds and hunting beasts, and gained quite a lot.
The journey was peaceful and smooth. The travelers on the road also welcomed the first sunset.
Everyone chose a hill that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. After setting up a simple defensive structure. Then, they went about their own business.
Long Pan, Long Fan, and the others were responsible for finding firewood to start a fire. Wushuang, Qingshan, and the others were not idle either. They started to build tents with Long Yi, Long Jin, and the others.
Although everyone was busy, they did not panic at all. It was obvious that they were very experienced in camping in the wild. In just half an hour, they had set up their tents.
Long Bo and Long Fan, who were responsible for collecting firewood, had already brought back a considerable amount of firewood.
"You guys aren't slow. You've collected so much so quickly.”Long Yi said in surprise.
"Haha, that's right. There happens to be a piece of dead wood in the forest.”"We didn't spend much effort." Long Pan laughed.”
Soon, everyone started a bonfire.
However, there were two bonfires, which made people feel quite uncomfortable. At the same time, it also made Green Mountain feel uneasy.
Long Jue couldn't help but ask,""Seventh Uncle, this escort mission is extremely important, but look at how Thousand Rain and her guards are acting.”
"Exactly. A cold one, as if he owed them millions.”Long Yi was also very dissatisfied.
Long Qi sighed helplessly." They are all guards from the palace. They are all arrogant and look down on us."”
"If it weren't for Great Priest Thousand Rain, they might not have traveled with us.”Long Fan said," Bear with it. They're not dragging us down anyway."”
Wu Shuang, Qing Shan, and the others looked at each other subconsciously.
It seemed that this team was not harmonious. Although it was only a short day, Qingshan, Wu Shuang, and the others could easily see the problem.
But if that was the case, why would these two groups of people who did not get along well with each other come together? Qingshan was a little confused.
"A team is most afraid of being separated.”Although Wu Shuang was young, she had a lot of experience in Jianghu."With such a clear stance, it will be troublesome if we encounter any danger.”
Wushuang's words just pointed out the uneasiness in Qingshan's heart. That's right, as someone from the army, Qingshan knew a team the best. In order to successfully complete the mission, internal harmony and tacit understanding were essential. Once faced with any unexpected incidents, such a fragmented stance would not be able to advance and retreat as one and exert the strength of the team.
"This is also what I'm most worried about." " These palace guards think highly of themselves," Long Shu said calmly." They naturally look down on us, who are from small families. They won't listen to us at all. Unless there's someone who can convince them, they might be able to change their attitude."”Long Shu looked around.
However, it seemed that no one had much confidence in persuading Thousand Rain and the guards.
Long Hao, who was on sentry duty in the distance, sat on a large rock. He seemed a little lonely. Lonely had always been low-key and rarely spoke. Everyone was used to his personality. He did not mind.
"I'll send this lamb leg to Brother Hao.”Long Jue tore off a lamb leg from the greasy roasted lamb and walked quickly to Long Hao.
However, looking at Long Hao, Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly figured out what was going on.
It seemed that it was not the twelve guards who were too arrogant, but their nature. Green Mountain, who had been born in the army, was naturally used to the tough and iron-blooded soldiers, and also knew how to deal with these people.
"I'll go talk to them." Seeing that no one was confident, Long Fan volunteered. He stood up and was about to walk towards Thousand Rain Priest.
" What's the use of you going?" Draconic Seven stopped him." You're nothing in their eyes."”At this point, Long Qi looked at Green Mountain and said,""Qingshan, you should go. I can see that Great Priest Thousand Rain and his guards view you in a new light. Perhaps they will listen to your words.”
"That's true." Yun Xia said proudly,"You defeated them in the last sword competition. They don't have any airs to put on in front of you."”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. This girl was really direct, but his words were not without reason.
"It's not convenient for me to be alone.”Qingshan said hesitantly.
"Seventh Uncle, you and I should accompany the young heroes of Green Mountain for a while.”Long Shu said.
"That's what I was thinking." Draconic Seven stood up.
After tidying up their clothes, the three of them walked towards Thousand Rain's campfire.
"Young Master Qingshan, why are you here?" Thousand Rain looked at Qingshan, Long Qi, and Long Shu with an indifferent expression. However, she only asked about Qingshan and ignored Long Shu and Long Qi. This made Long Shu and Long Qi feel a little awkward. They were stunned for a while.
"Come over for a chat?" "What's wrong?" Qing Shan could only say,"Did I disturb your rest?"”
"Where? Young hero, please take a seat." Thousand Rain calmly smiled as she moved to make space for Qingshan and the others.
Although they had expected that Thousand Rain would treat Green Mountain differently, the three of them still hadn't expected her to be so polite.
Qingshan did not stand on ceremony and sat down."To be honest, is there something urgent that you need the High Priest for?”
"Young hero, please speak." Thousand Rain Priest wasn't surprised, but the twelve men with cold expressions all turned to look at Qing Shan. Their expressions were still dull, but their eyes had become extremely sharp.
"Although I don't know how the two of you ended up together.”"But since we're walking together, we should work together sincerely and tide over the difficulties together," Qingshan said seriously.”At this point, Qingshan's tone was a bit cold."In my hometown, there is a saying that when everyone is united, their strength can cut through metal. However, if everyone has their own thoughts and forms their own formations, it is better to go our separate ways.”
Long Qi and Long Shu were slightly stunned, as if they hadn't expected Qingshan to be so direct. The twelve people behind them changed their expressions slightly.
"Young hero, do you make sense?" " But what does this have to do with the present?" Thousand Rain asked calmly.”
" I'm a little confused." Qing Shan said with a cold expression." Since we need to work together, I always feel that you don't seem to treat us as your own people.”
Great Priest Thousand Rain gazed deeply at Green Mountain and took a deep breath. After a long while, she said,""Those who respect others will be respected by others. If you want to cooperate sincerely, you have to at least show some sincerity?”Great Priest Thousand Rain then turned to Long Shu, who was standing beside Qing Shan, and said,""But Eldest Young Miss's attitude doesn't make me feel the slightest sincerity.”
"High Priest, why do you say that?" This time, Qingshan, Long Shu, and Long Qi were stumped.
"Hahaha." Thousand Rain laughed and said," I, Thousand Rain, am the Imperial Advisor. My status is so noble that even the royal family has to treat me with respect and treat me with sincerity. However, Eldest Miss, you always wear a veil over your face. What logic is that? Could it be that I'm just an insignificant figure in your eyes? If you're so disrespectful, how can you expect others to respect you?”
" Ah…" Long Shu and Long Qi were stunned.
No one expected the problem to be the veil on Long Shu's face. However, it made sense. With Rain's prestigious status, it was a little disrespectful for Long Shu to hide her face and interact with him. Although Qingshan was not clear about the customs of this world, it was indeed unpleasant to deal with others with a face covered.
"To tell you the truth." " If it weren't for the orders from above," Thousand Rain said coldly," I would have left the place long ago if it weren't for the fact that I was ordered to assist Eldest Miss in escorting this batch of goods to the imperial capital.”
"I see." Only then did Long Shu come to his senses, but his tone was filled with guilt and guilt."It was indeed Long Shu's disrespect. Please forgive me, High Priest.”
Actually, Qingshan was also very curious about what Long Shu looked like under the veil.
"Young miss." " In order to show respect to the High Priest," Draconic Seven said," you should take off your veil."”
" This…" Long Shu hesitated.
However, she clearly knew that this was a matter of great importance. Helpless, she could only gently remove the veil covering her face.
In an instant. Qingshan felt his eyes brighten. A girl who only appeared in his dreams was standing in front of him. No words could describe what kind of beauty it was.
It was like a dream, and the universe no longer existed. The only thing he could see was a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars. It was so pure and flawless, like a cold pond of clear water, flowing with light and color. It was indescribably moving and charming, but there was also a sense of weakness and poignancy. There was also some resentment. It made people feel a sense of guilt.
Qingshan had seen many beautiful women in the post-modern era, and some of them were even as beautiful as the beauty in front of him. However, none of them had the natural and ethereal temperament of Long Shu.
As the saying goes, a beauty that could topple a country must be referring to Long Shu. No wonder this woman covered her face.
On the other side, Thousand Rain High Priest and the twelve guards were dumbstruck. After a long while, they replied,""No wonder Miss Long always wears a veil over her face. Please forgive me for being rude." Thousand Rain bowed deeply.
The 12 guards behind him bowed slightly to express their apology.
However, no one complained about Long Shu's rudeness and arrogance.
If such an appearance was easily revealed, it would definitely cause a huge riot, and Long Shu had no choice but to choose to wear a veil.
With the removal of the veil, the last trace of estrangement between the two sides was completely eliminated.
What happened next was naturally much easier to handle.
"Young Master Qingshan once said that if we work together, we can break gold.”" I think we should unite and form a team," Long Qi said." I wonder what Great Priest Thousand Rain thinks."”
"That makes sense." Thousand Rain then turned to the twelve guards beside her and said,""From now on, you will listen to Young Master Qingshan and Long Qi's arrangement and complete this escort mission.”
"Yes." The twelve of them accepted the order in unison.
At this moment, Qingshan and Long Qi finally felt relieved.
o19 Night Battle at Gaogang
The night was like a veil, and the surroundings were gray and black. Only the outline of the surrounding land could be vaguely seen on the high hill. The waning moon hung high in the sky, making it look even brighter and hazy.
The two paths on the hill meandered and extended into the distance like a jade belt, showing a strange beauty and ripples.
Surrounding them was a forest that was not considered dense. In the forest were four tents that surrounded each other. This was the campsite of the caravan.
Tonight was Long Hao's night watch, which was also the most basic defensive measure for camping in the wild. The outpost that Long Hao chose was a large tree with lush foliage. This was more conducive to hiding himself, especially in the dark.
It was late at night in spring, and the slightly cold breeze mixed with the unique fragrance of the flowers and plants in the forest, as well as the residual smoke from the extinguished bonfire, made people feel intoxicated. He even felt drowsy.
At this moment, a soft rustling sound suddenly came from the side of the forest. Long Hao, who had almost fallen asleep, was woken up.
What was going on? He had always been alert, but he almost fell asleep when he was on sentry duty.
Long Hao couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
The reason why Long Hao became a sentry at night was not only because of his outstanding skills, but also because of his careful and calm personality.
All of these together made Long Hao the best candidate for the night watch.
Long Hao, who had just woken up, still felt very relaxed. It was hard for him to even open his eyes. This made Long Hao feel that something was wrong, but even so, he still opened his eyes with his strong will and looked carefully in the direction of the sound. Under the hazy night sky, everything between heaven and earth was difficult to see clearly, but the dozens of hazy and small figures in the forest could not escape Long Hao's eyes.
Ah. It was an enemy attack. Unexpectedly, his moment of carelessness was caught under his eyelids.
Shocked, Long Hao quickly blew the siren.
"Wuwuwu." In an instant. The urgent siren sounded in the high hills.
However…Everyone was on high alert, but nothing happened.
There was no response from the four tents, as if no one inside had heard the horn.
"What, what's going on?" Long Hao turned pale with fright. Why did no one react? At this moment, the unique fragrance of the night wind once again drifted into Long Hao's nostrils. Long Hao felt a strange dizziness.
Ah. This was a sleeping fragrance. In an instant, Long Hao reacted. But how was this possible? When did he plant the bewitching fragrance? Long Hao couldn't understand.
Under normal circumstances, the sleeping fragrance would only work in a confined space. If it was in an open place like the wild, the sleeping fragrance would easily be blown away. Even if the tent was a confined space, who could sneak into the tent and release the sleeping fragrance without anyone noticing?
However, at this moment, Long Hao couldn't care less.
He hurriedly jumped down from the tree.
"Where did this thief come from? He actually used such a despicable method as the bewitching incense.”
"Hahaha." A burst of proud laughter came from the forest, followed by dozens of men in black armor.
Because they were not far away, Long Hao could clearly see the appearance of this group of people.
There were three people in the lead, and it was obvious at a glance that they were extremely vicious outlaws.
One of them had a strong build, a square head, big ears, and a fierce face. He was dressed in black tungsten armor, and the weapon in his hand was a large, shiny sword. His right hand was carrying a large shield.
It seemed like he was a Shield Warrior. Moreover, his cultivation was not low.
The person on the left was slender and pale, but he held a short spear in each hand. Although he was not as rough and ferocious as the previous person, he appeared more sinister and cunning.
The man on the right had a stocky build, and his entire body was like an iron tower. His face was full of beard, making it impossible to see his facial features clearly. However, his fierce aura and the unusually large Purgatory Axe in his hand made it obvious that he was a Strength-type Berserker.
Any one of these three people was enough to be on par with him or even stronger, not to mention that three of them had jumped out at once, and behind them was a group of gang members who were like wolves and tigers. There were at least ten people.
However, there was no one else on his side. Moreover, he was still dizzy and on the verge of collapse.
Until now, Long Hao still didn't understand how they planted the incense.
"Good heavens, Ye Lai Xiang actually didn't manage to take you down.”The iron tower-wielding man laughed sinisterly.
"How did you guys use the bewitching incense?”Long Hao asked in a stern voice.
"Haha." The Shield Warrior in the movie was obviously the leader of this group of people, and he had a smug look on his face."I'm in a good mood, so I'll let you die knowing that the firewood you used to light the fire was prepared by us in advance.”
"Ah, could it be that withered forest?”In an instant, Long Hao suddenly remembered the scene of Long Pan and the others collecting firewood.
"Now you understand." The man with the short spear looked smug."That withered forest is mixed with a lot of Night Tree Vine Grass. Once it is lit, it will become the strongest Night Primrose. You and I originally have no enmity, but we were also entrusted by others.”
In the world of Rangers, such despicable methods were not uncommon, but those who were experienced outside were generally on guard against them.
And once they encountered experienced rangers, these lowly incense would have little effect.
However, these people's methods of using drugs were so subtle and ingenious that they actually made them ignite the intoxicating incense without knowing it. This was indeed somewhat unexpected. If he wasn't careful, he would fall.
However, it was already too late for him to realize that. What shocked Long Hao even more was that this group of people was coming for his group. Moreover, the trap was so targeted.
Who was the enemy hiding behind the scenes?
Long Hao couldn't imagine what would happen next.
"Big brother, why are you talking so much nonsense with him?”"There are a few pretty girls in the tent, hehe, and the eldest daughter of the Long family. It's not easy to meet such people."”
"Haha, that's true." The leader waved his saber." Brothers, attack. Kill all the men and take the women away."”
"Yes."
A dozen black-armored men had already swarmed out. It pounced at Long Hao. At this moment, Long Hao was in a daze and did not have the strength to fight back.
Seeing the bright blade light approaching, he couldn't even move.
Was it over just like that? Unwilling to give up, Long Hao mustered his last bit of strength and swung his sword at the dozen or so people who were pouncing on him.
