Chapter 28
Perhaps it was because of the two months of driving, and the fact that the next market town was about to arrive, the several caravans who camped were relatively relaxed. When the bonfire went out, it started to rain suddenly, and everyone had to go back to their tents to rest. .

After returning to the carriage, Li Qingniu and Xiaobai, who were extremely tired, fell asleep.Seeing that it was raining, Li Laoer was worried that the rain was too heavy, so he went to the carriage to check, and saw that there was no water leakage, and added some fodder for the old horse before returning to the carriage to rest.He only heard that the sound of the water flowing in the river seemed to be much louder, but he didn't pay attention to it, and went straight back to the carriage.

In the middle of the night, the rain became heavier. In the worm water not far from the camp, a group of dark red worms rushed out of the river. As the water level rose, the worms climbed up the mountain stream. , It didn't take long to climb to the vicinity of the camp, but the camp was relatively high, there was no stagnant water for the time being, and the swarms couldn't get in for a while.

Luo Wushuang, who was meditating to adjust his breath, suddenly woke up, and felt that there seemed to be some scattered energy fluctuations nearby. Looking at the heavy rain outside the car, he suddenly thought, could it be the bone-eating insect in the river?But how did they climb up to the height of more than ten feet?He immediately decided to get up and investigate.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw an old man in blue with a calm face coming out of another camp not far away.Luo Wushuang saw that the opponent should be at the peak of the fifth rank, no wonder he could also sense this change in energy.The old man in Tsing Yi also looked at Luo Wushuang, and saw that in the heavy rain, the raindrops fell on his body and did not wet his clothes. This is a sign of the strength of the sixth-rank warriors. His heart sank, and he motioned to each other to come to Chongshui together side.

I saw the worm water soaring, and a small stream near the camp was connected to the river due to heavy rain.If you look carefully, there is a layer of dark red halo flowing in the stream. It is actually dense red worms clinging to the stone wall, slowly crawling slowly. Although some of them were washed back and fell by the strong stream, there are a large number of them. Break through the edge of the camp.

The old man in Tsing Yi looked at Luo Wushuang with doubts on his face: "This old man has been running on this official road for more than ten times. Every time he passes through this worm water, he has never seen this bone-eating worm climb to such a high place! It's really weird!"

Luo Wushuang raised a bone-eating worm with the tip of his spear in his hand, looked carefully and analyzed: "This bone-eating worm is not powerful or poisonous alone, and even ordinary people can deal with it, but hundreds of them With thousands of people coming together, it will be difficult for even fourth- and fifth-rank warriors to escape."

When Luo Wushuang and the old man in Tsing Yi were investigating the Bone Eater, in the carriage that peeked at Li Qingniu and Xiao Bai before, a bewitching figure slowly emerged. woman.

"The two most powerful characters are not here. The heavy rain is really helping me!"

After saying that, his body twisted and turned into a little white snake swimming in the rain, and quietly came to Li Qingniu's carriage, and got into the carriage along the gap.

The little snake was no more than the thickness of a finger, but it was in trouble when it got into the carriage. It was obvious that there were two bloods that day, but which of these two is the blood of the ancient race?If you choose the wrong one, it is very likely that you will wake up the real ancient blood, and it will be a one-shot deal, and if you drink too much, you will not be able to absorb it, and there is a risk of violence.

While hesitating, Luo Wushuang returned to the camp and smelled a strange fragrance coming from near Li Qingniu's carriage, so he went closer to have a look, but couldn't feel it.

The little snake in the carriage noticed that a master was approaching, so it didn't care about other things, and slipped out of the carriage with a whoosh.

……

Li Lao Er didn't sleep deeply, and was awakened by this movement, as if a long bluish-white object flashed past his eyes in a daze.At this moment, I heard Lao Shen's voice outside the car.

"Second brother Li, quickly set up the carriage and get out of camp! It's dangerous."

Li Lao Er just wanted to ask why he was in such a hurry, but Lao Shen continued: "Don't talk, just go quietly!"

Li Lao Er had gotten used to it for more than three months, so he didn't have time to ask why, so he quickly put on his coir raincoat and got out of the car, and put on his own carriage.

It just so happened that Xiao Anzi was also wearing a coir raincoat and leading the horse to the front. Neither of them dared to talk to each other, they just nodded and drove separately.

Little Anzi woke up Li Qingniu.Sleepy-eyed, he asked Xiao Anzi: "It's not yet dawn, why are you leaving so early? Hey! Where's my second dad!"

Xiao Anzi put on the carriage and sat on the shaft to answer in a low voice.

"Hush! Don't talk, your second dad is driving behind!"

At this time, Li Laoer also set up his own carriage, and put a straw mat on the old horse by the way.Seeing that Li Qingniu was also awake, he said through the car door:
"Xiao Niu'er, stay in the car quietly, guard Shen told you to go quietly."

Li Qingniu saw that his second father and Xiao Anzi were so nervous, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he rubbed his neck and muttered.

"How does it feel like this neck is icy!"

Immediately, he looked outside through the gap in the carriage window, it was pitch black, and it was still raining heavily.The camp where Deacon Mu's caravan was located was located in the middle of several caravans. Although it was raining, the sound of driving still woke up the surrounding caravans.

At first, the caravans were still wondering what happened to this caravan, driving in the rain so early.But when they saw that they didn't even want the tents, they realized that they were afraid that danger was approaching, so they hurriedly got up and prepared to evacuate, and the whole camp became chaotic for a while.

At this time, Deacon Mu's caravan set off first, but in front of them was the caravan of the old man in blue, and because it happened to be on the side, it had already set off.As soon as they turned to the official road, the two caravans quickly moved towards the north at a high speed.

Luo Wushuang reined in his horse and turned around to explain to Lao Shen.

"Guard Shen, you will lead the team, continue on your way, I'm going back to check, and I'll be there soon!"

Guard Shen also had a tacit understanding. Although there were two other guards with higher martial arts than him, he was the only one left from the attack last time.So after receiving the order, he ordered two fourth-rank guards to clear the way in front, two second-rank guards to hold the line behind, and he rode a horse back and forth to patrol and follow.

The two teams had just walked not far away, and two more caravans ran out in a little confusion.Li Qingniu in the car opened the rear curtain and asked Li Lao Er.

"Second dad, what happened? Why are everyone in such a hurry."

Li Laoer wiped the rainwater from his face.

"I don't know, I must be in danger. You sit back quickly."

"Second Dad, how about I replace you!"

"What time is it, hurry back!"

"Oh!"

Seeing that the second father was also nervous, Li Qingniu had no choice but to go back into the car, then took out the fire pocket and lit the oil lamp on the car, and shook his head at Xiao Bai who looked curious.

As soon as the oil lamp was lit, Old Shen outside the car rode over and reminded him in a low voice.

"Boy, turn off the oil lamp!"

"Oh!"

Li Qingniu had no choice but to turn off the oil lamp, drew out his sword and looked nervously outside the car.

Not far from the caravan, they heard a noise and fear coming from the original camp.

"Run! The Bone Eater is coming..."

"Don't worry about it, it's important to escape..."

"Quick, rush out..."

"Those people are so insidious, they didn't inform us..."

The few remaining caravans ran for seven or eight miles, only to find that the rain had gradually stopped and they came to a place with higher terrain. Lao Shen ordered the team to stop.But the other three caravans that ran out did not dare to stay and continued to walk.

At this time, Deacon Mu was holding an umbrella and standing on the shaft of the car to ask Old Shen.

"Why did you stop? Run quickly!"

"The captain hasn't arrived yet!"

"He has such high martial arts, why wait for him! Let's go first."

"Deacon Mu, we've already run seven or eight miles, and we're safe for the time being. After ten miles, the captain can't find us, and we will be the ones in danger at that time."

"Uh, well, just wait. The captain is really serious. It's his main duty to protect me at this time."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his car and went to catch up on sleep with Wen Xiangnuanyu.

After Li Laoer took off his coir raincoat, he didn't have time to deal with the embarrassment of running, so he hurried to check the goods in his carriage.Fortunately, this section of the official road is relatively flat, and the carriages, horses and goods have not been damaged.

Li Qingniu drew out his iron sword and jumped off the carriage, and came to Lao Shen.

"Old Shen, is that bone-eating worm really that scary?"

Old Shen looked nervously at the direction of the camp, then shook his head again.

"I haven't seen it, but judging by the captain's appearance, that thing should be very dangerous. I'm afraid those who left late will not be able to get out."

Li Qingniu was very puzzled.

"Since we have discovered the danger, why didn't we inform them to go together? This is too dishonest."

"Let's go together? Kid, if you inform other people, the whole camp will be in chaos. We have so many horses and horses, can we still go? Put away your righteousness and save your own life is the most important thing."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Li Qingniu and rode his horse to investigate the surrounding environment.

Li Qingniu thought to himself, even though this is the case, it is really unacceptable to run away for his own life.
