Chapter 1363 The wolf howls again

After being comforted by the caravan captain, the crowd finally calmed down.

Seeing this, the caravan captain cleared his throat and said loudly: "Although Brother Xiao Ning is willing to help us solve the dangers on the road, in the end we still have to rely on ourselves."

"As the saying goes, it is better to save yourself than to rely on others to save yourself. This is what it means."

"So on the next journey, everyone will obey my arrangements and my orders. You will do whatever I ask you to do..."

What he is talking about now is what he discussed with a few caravan elders last night.

The purpose is to unite everyone so that if we encounter danger again, we no longer have to rely on Xiao Ning alone.

In fact, now the caravan captain and several caravan elders no longer count on Xiao Ning, feeling that Xiao Ning is unreliable.

On the other side, the caravan members finally settled down after being repeatedly mobilized by the caravan captain, and each one of them stated that they would obey his orders.

These people dare to run business on this trade route in no-man's land, and their organizational skills are naturally far beyond ordinary people.

Therefore, they all understand the principle of working together.

Now that danger will come, it is natural to unite together and let the leader make the decision.

Rather than what you want to care about and what I want to care about, we should fight on our own.

"Everyone, hurry up and pack up and get on the road!"

Seeing that they were almost mobilized, the captain of the caravan announced loudly.

Everyone quickly dispersed to pack their belongings.

Now that half of the people in the camp are dead, cleaning up is more troublesome and slower than before, so we have to seize the time.

Of course, since a lot of people died, some things don’t need to be packed away anymore, just stay here.

Anyway, there are no people left, so taking so many things on the road is just a burden, in case something happens and it affects the escape.

At this time, the horses left by the Jinlin Alliance's escort team became a good thing.

With these horses, everyone can travel much faster, and the ten-day journey is expected to be shortened by one or two days.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

"hey-hey!"

"rise!"

The camp was noisy, everyone had something to do.

No one complained at this time, everyone wanted to pack up quickly and hit the road.

The captain of the caravan couldn't help but sigh again in his heart when he saw everyone working hard.

He hasn't told everyone about the dirty stuff they got.

If we say so, there will definitely be more people who are determined not to return to the grassland.

But in this situation, it is simply not easy for him to tell the truth.

First, everyone will definitely be frightened and uneasy after knowing about it, and it will be difficult to have peace on the road.

The second is that Xiao Ning will never allow him to tell this matter.

After all, Xiao Ning made up his mind to let them go all the way back to Tianshan Prairie in the west and not allow them to escape eastward.

"There will definitely be more dangers along the way."

The caravan captain thought sadly.

Several caravan elders were infected by him, and they all looked melancholy, not knowing how to deal with what was going to happen next.

There is no other way but to take it one step at a time.

What if people like me are lucky enough to return home safely and wash off the dirt on our bodies at the same time?
People always have to see some hope to have the motivation to live.

Everyone in the camp was busy, cleaning up the tents as quickly as possible.

Almost half an hour later, everything was sorted.

In the end, almost half of the things were not packed into the horse and cart, and everyone had decided to abandon them here.

After last night's scene, no one has the thought of saving their property anymore. Everyone just wants to save their lives.

They were all thinking that if they hadn't thought of coming here to collect the scattered goods before, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Maybe everyone is happily finishing the packing at this moment, looking forward to everything after returning home.

Instead of like now, less than half of the people end up alive.

It is estimated that the people in the escort team will probably die outside and never come back.

"Let's get on the road!"

the caravan captain loudly announced.

As soon as he finished speaking, the caravan's carriages and horses began to move slowly, heading westward with the rising sun on their backs.

Their shadows dragged out a long line on the ground. There was no dazzling sunlight as far as the eye could see, only the black horizon.

However, after setting off on the road, everyone was in a better mood than before.

Probably because I finally took action.

At that moment, many people were looking forward and backward, wondering whether it was better to go to the ancient city of Zayi or return to their hometown.

Now that we are actually on the way home, everyone no longer thinks so much.

"Captain, how far do you think we can go?"

On the carriage, an old caravan man approached the caravan captain and asked in a deep tone.

From his tone, the caravan captain heard a trace of despair.

The other party had given up all hope of going home early on, so he just wanted to be as close to home as possible when he died.

In this way, perhaps the soul after death can float back to its hometown to take a look.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe we don't deserve to die."

The caravan captain reassured.

As the captain of this caravan, as the leader, he must give hope to his subordinates.

Many times, everyone relies on illusory hope to get through each difficulty.

This situation is naturally the same now.

"Well, hopefully we can go a little further."

The old caravan man shook his head slowly and then turned back.

The caravan captain saw this and said nothing.

He only regrets now, deeply regrets.

If I had known that I should have stayed honestly when I was in the ancient city of Zayi, then so many people would not have died and their future would not have been bleak.

Although the ancient city of Zayi is a foreign country, at least I know some people who have been doing business all year round.

If you take root in the ancient city of Zayi, your life will not be unbearable.

Isn’t it good to just survive in Zayi Ancient City like that? Why insist on taking the risk and go home?
It's okay now. If you can't go home, you may not be able to save your life.

The caravan captain couldn't help but slowly raised his head and looked at the birds in the sky.

No one can be seen in this no-man's land, but there are many wild animals and birds.

And looking at his soaring bird, the caravan captain couldn't help but think of one thing.

That's why this no man's land became no man's land.

Speaking of which, there are no dangers in this no-man's land except for the abundance of wild animals.

At least until now, no one knew that there were terrifying inhuman monsters in the no-man's land.

So based on previous knowledge, there is no reason why this no-man's land should become a no-man's land.

No matter how many and ferocious the beasts are, can anyone still be powerful?

As long as some people are organized to come in with guns, it won't take long to kill only half of the beasts in the no-man's land.

By then, wouldn’t this no-man’s land be a good place to live?

The result is that no one does it.

The caravan captain thought to himself that maybe the predecessors had already encountered dangers like the ones they encountered this time in the no-man's land, so they told future generations not to get close to this place.

It spread like this, and eventually no one dared to come in, and over time this place became a no man's land.

"If this is the case, then you should tell everyone when you go back that you should never enter here again. There is great terror and crisis hidden here." The captain of the caravan couldn't help but think as he stared at the birds in the sky.

At the same time, Xiao Ning was also thinking about this issue.

Of course, after Xiao Ning thought about this, his final thoughts were completely different from those of the caravan captain.

What he wanted to do was not to stop people from coming near this place, but to dig out the secrets hidden here.

Because he thinks he can get great opportunities from it.

Until then, it will be his moment to turn over.

Otherwise, with his current progress rate, how can he catch up with Bai Haoyuan and Taoist Tianbao?

Not to mention Taichi.

"I will definitely find out all the secrets hidden here!"

Xiao Ning thought secretly in his heart.

The caravan moved on.

The time soon came to evening.

The sun set, and the caravan successfully found a place where He and his camp were set up.

They have been running business back and forth in this no-man's land for many years. They have entered this no-man's land more than once or twice, and they are all familiar with the environment on the road.

So finding a campsite is not difficult.

In the past, there would have been a lot of joy and laughter in the camp at this time. Everyone was thinking about finally being able to sit down and have a good meal after a tiring day, and then have a good night's sleep.

But now, all they have is the fear of nightfall.

After all, these crises all occurred at night, making them all naturally fearful of the dark night.

So no one in the camp spoke, let alone laughed.

People were just busy mechanically, just wanting to set up their tents quickly.

When the time comes, I can hide in the tent, which will give me some comfort.

The caravan captain and several caravan elders looked at the busy scene, and their worries became more and more intense.

Unlike everyone else in the caravan, they all know the truth.

So they are all worried that death will suddenly appear, and then the dead will be pieced together into a terrifying monster.

"Tonight is destined to be another restless night."

An old caravan murmured.

In the midst of all the busyness, night fell quickly and it became darker and darker.

Finally, when the tents were set up, it was already dark.

The torches and oil lamps in the camp were lit one after another, blocking the night from the camp.

Then everyone started preparing dinner mechanically.

In this way, the time quickly came to midnight.

At this time, most of the people in the camp fell into a light sleep in fear, but the caravan captain and several caravan elders gathered together again to discuss the next plan.

"I finally got through the first half of the night. I don't know if anything will go wrong in the second half of the night."

An old man from the caravan said worriedly.

No one answered his words because no one knew what would happen in the rest of the night.

Is it going to be spent peacefully like the first half of the night, or is it that someone is torn apart and dies inexplicably, and the scene last night ends up repeating itself.

"Let's discuss tomorrow's route."

The caravan captain spoke, breaking the silence in the camp.

Only then did several old caravan men resume their conversation and began to speak out one after another.

It's just that nothing can be accomplished by discussing it now. In fact, they simply can't sleep and want to pass the time in this way.

After all, living with fear like this is really painful.

They can't feel at ease no matter what if they don't see the sun rise.

Time passes slowly.

In the end, the night passed peacefully and nothing happened.

Early in the morning, everyone packed up and hit the road again, heading west.

The sun is still shining brightly today, which makes me feel a little better.

All the caravan members were thinking at this time, it would be great if the days to come could be as smooth as now.

I don't know if God answered his prayer, or if they were just lucky.

This day was still spent without any danger.

In the evening, the caravan found a good camping spot.

Everyone took action and quickly set up the camp.

Late at night.

"Everything went well yesterday, and judging from the current situation today, it's going pretty well. I don't know what will happen in the second half of the night."

The old caravan man who spoke out last night said the same thing tonight.

But what was different from last night was that someone answered him this time.

"It will definitely get better. Maybe Xiao Ning is not as bad as we thought. Maybe he really thought it would be okay to go back, so he insisted on letting us go west."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the camp immediately had something on their mind.

"If this is the case, why was Xiao Ning's attitude so bad that night? Couldn't he have spoken properly and made things clear?"

"Yeah, at that time he looked like he was going to take action if we didn't want to go west."

"Oh, who knows, maybe he doesn't think it's clear to us and doesn't want to talk to us anymore, right?"

"..."

Several caravan elders spoke one after another to express their conjectures.

After such an argument, the caravan captain stopped him and said, "Stop guessing now. Anyway, we are already on the road and there is no way we can look back. Let's take a closer look."

His words successfully stopped the arguments among several caravan elders.

Everyone agreed with his suggestion and decided to take a closer look.

If nothing happens along the way like these two days, it means that they really blamed Xiao Ning wrongly.

And if something happens, it depends on whether Xiao Ning will take action in time.

In short, it is useless to argue here now, everything must be determined by facts.

The argument quickly stopped, and then everyone fell asleep one after another.

I have to say that they all had a pretty good sleep tonight.

At least I didn't fall asleep in a daze like last night and the night before.

Time quickly came to the next day.

The sun rose in the east as usual, and the caravan set off smoothly as usual.

Traveling westward, the caravan found a suitable camping site in the evening.

Everyone quickly became busy.
