Chapter 117 Wild Fox Girl
The convoy heading to Shezhao is recruiting people. Apart from spending money to hire good players, it will also recruit sporadic guests like Xu Dao.

After one night, after Xu Dao, several people joined the convoy.

Before dawn the next day, Xu Dao counted the number of people in secret, and found that the total number of people in the convoy had reached more than a hundred people, and all of them were strong, carrying knives and guns, and looked capable.

Coupled with the mules and horses carried by individuals, as well as the added carriages, the entire team became quite large.In the wild, as long as you turn the carriage across and form a circle, even if you encounter a small group of rebels, it is difficult to be opened.

However, on the way to Shezhao, there were no rebellious soldiers and bandits, but countless wolves, tigers, leopards, and even monsters. Although such a team looks strong, it is not safe.

It's worth mentioning that Xu Dao waited until the convoy left, but he couldn't see the Taoist who was good at "catching ghosts and foxes", he only saw the other Taoist boy.

Xiao Daotong has a handsome appearance, with a hint of charm in his eyebrows and eyes. He occasionally got off the carriage and was caught by Xu Dao, and there was no sign of cultivation on his body.

But for that large carriage, Xu Dao used his qi-watching technique, and he could see a red light burning in the carriage, as if the whole carriage was on fire.

"The qi and blood are amazing, isn't he a Taoist who refines his body?" Xu Dao guessed in his heart.

But the other party never showed up, and the food and the like were delivered by Dao Tong. Xu Dao paid attention to it a few times, and then looked away.

The car rattles, Ma Xiaoxiao.

The whole convoy walked out of Zhuangzi and walked on the mountain road, with horses carrying goods and people carrying bows.

Xu Dao was riding a donkey, staggering among them, because he deliberately restrained his breath, except that his face was much more handsome than others, he was also ordinary.

And in the entire convoy, only the maid who kept the accounts was a woman, and the others were all rough old men, and few people paid attention to him.

Winding all the way forward, into the mountains, because the mountain road is narrow, and sometimes they have to open mountain cuttings, the team is pulled into a long snake, and the walking speed is not fast.

Fortunately, there are long-standing bodyguards and troopers in the convoy, and spies are released from time to time to guard the surroundings for the convoy.

Xu Dao was among them, and even saw the leader of the convoy.

The other party is very young, only about 20 years old, carrying a long sword on his back, not the thin sword worn by a rich man, but a broad sword held in both hands. He is also strong and strong, with bulging temples on his head. A good effort.

The bodyguards in the convoy, together with the servant girl, all called him "young bodyguard head".

But when the convoy completely entered the mountains, the surrounding fog was steaming and the wind was blowing, the young escort stayed in the team peacefully, just arranging things, sending his men and others out to explore the way.

Seeing that everyone in the convoy looked very sophisticated, Xu Dao felt a little relieved.

Although he knew that the Shezhao tribe was in the southeast of the Bone Temple, he only knew such a direction, and he didn't know the specific route at all.

And the experienced team scouted the way for him, and with so many people standing in front of him, he probably wouldn't crash into the den of monsters and spirits.

On the first day on the road, before the sky was dark, the team found an open space to set up camp.

Most of the carriages were placed on the outskirts of the camp, connected end to end, protecting the people and horses inside.These carriages are specially made, with thick hardwood boards on both sides, and boards can also be supported on the top for people to keep out the rain and step on.

After eating the dry food, Xu Dao had nothing to do, so he looked around the carriage and saw a lot of knife marks, arrow craters, and brown blood on it.

After setting up camp, several fires were burning in the team, and someone was talking in a low voice at one of the fires that was closer to Xu Dao:

"I heard that the young escort's entire family is dead, and he is the only one left, but who did he provoke?"

Beside him was a swordsman with a head on his head. He squatted in front of the fire to warm himself up, without raising his head, he said: "I have offended the big shots in the county, and I don't have much way to survive, so I simply sold my property and bought a few carts. Let’s run to Shezhao’s side and make a dash for it.”

Seeing that the swordsman was well-informed, Xu Dao joined in.The eyes of others turned to that person, and someone asked again: "The news that there is a Daoist in the team is also true?"

When the swordsman heard this, he sneered and said, "Of course."

He raised his head, with a big scar on his face, and a mocking look in his eyes: "You bastards, you dare to go this way without even knowing this?"

When the others heard what the swordsman said, their expressions were half cloudy, but no one refuted.Xu Dao sat warming himself by the fire, and saw that everyone became silent, so he stopped asking questions.

Soon, Xu Dao knew what the swordsman said just now.

Because just as the convoy quieted down and didn't take long to rest, there was a scream in the team: "Wolf! Wolf!"

Xu Dao was leaning on his donkey, sleeping with his hands folded in his sleeves.

With a sound, the donkey rolled and stood up from the ground. Xu Dao also turned over quickly and rode on the donkey's back.He raised his head and looked outside the convoy, and immediately saw pairs of green eyes around the convoy, no less than twenty in number, floating around the convoy like will-o'-the-wisps.

Although wolves in the wild like to gather in groups, they are generally less than ten, and twenty is already a lot.Moreover, it was still the first night for the whole convoy to enter the mountain, and they were blocked by wolves before they had walked a few miles.

"Boom!" A gong was struck directly, and several torches poured with butter were lit and inserted on the two walls of the team's carriage, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

When the wolves saw the torch, they all backed away silently, only looking at the convoy from afar through the darkness.

At this time, an old bodyguard stood up and confirmed that there were only wild wolves biting around, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed secretly: "It's just a pack of wolf cubs, what are you afraid of!"

But the old bodyguards didn't reprimand them too much, they just extinguished a few torches, so that most of the people continued to rest, but they deployed new manpower, which made the convoy more vigilant.

After a night of stalemate like this, except for some brave old escorts, the rest of the people could not rest well, for fear that wild wolves would pounce on them and drag them away.

But even so, when the convoy woke up early in the morning and started to break out of camp, someone immediately screamed:
"Where are people, where was the fat man last night?"

The convoy was startled. Immediately, veteran bodyguards wandered around with knives. After a distance of several hundred meters, they found half a pair of blood-stained pants...
