Chapter 239: Fei Hou Mountain
“Nona, you can't.” Zhang Zhu immediately said.
“Nona, our Zhang Clan group here has the least power in the entire caravan. If we accept it, surely we will offend another power. There was no point doing it for just two insignificant servants. Miss, even if it's not for yourself, think about our Zhang clan group here, or just think of those with you. ”Zhang Zhu coax.
“It...” Shang Xin Ci was in a dilemma and could not make a decision.
“What difficulties are there? Miss Zhang, I am only the hired hand of the Chen family and not their servant. Miss, if you still feel troubled, I have a way to deal with it. You can tell the Chen clan that I and my colleague offended you, and you want to punish us so that you imprison us. The Chen Clan will definitely not offend you to us two humans. “Say Fang Yuan.
“That's a great idea!” Shang Xin Ci's gaze brightened.
“Nona...” Zhang Zhu sighed helplessly, knowing he could not persuade her anymore.
Fang Yuan immediately crawled up with a stick and bowed to Shang Xin Ci: “Miss Zhang, you are a good person. I will definitely return your favor in the future!”
Shang Xin Ci shook her head: “I don't need you to repay me. I will definitely help those who need my help to the best of my ability. Sleep in my camp tonight. Xiao Die, set up the tent for them.”
“Ya, miss.” Xiao Die replied reluctantly.
“Follow me. Don't blame me if you get lost.” Xiao Die did not show any kind of hospitality to Fang Yuan, but still took the lead.
Zhang Zhu's brows furrowed deeper as he looked at Fang and Bai's departing figures.
She disliked the two from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time she had to think about Shang Xin Ci's safety as her bodyguard.
He decided to deal with the matter personally.
This is a small tent with not much space in it.
However, Fang and Bai did not care. They even treated the beast that trapped the tree as a tent, let alone this much better environment.
Both of them lay in a dark tent.
Fang Yuan clasped his hands with Bai Ning Bing's hands: “Everything will be fine, Bai Yun.”
Bai Ning Bing rolled her eyes, she knew the true intent of Fang Yuan. In the darkness, he transferred a portion of his snow silver primordial essence to Fang Yuan through his palm.
“Sleep early, fortunately we met such a nice person like Mrs Zhang.” Fang Yuan closed his eyes as he finished saying this, and started cultivating silently.
He was already rank two now; his primeval sea was filled with the primitive essence of red steel. Although he could already use the four flavors of liquor worms, Bai Ning Bing's primeval essence of snow silver was undoubtedly much better.
For Fang Yuan, the four-flavored liquor worm had lost its use with Bai Ning Bing here.
The ancient essence of silver snow cleared and refined the aperture, rapidly increasing Fang Yuan's accumulation. He did not need to worry about his aura leaking out with the breath that hid Gu.
Her disguise couldn't possibly be damaged unless she used Gu worms outside of her body.
Right now, Gu who was hiding his breath had yet to actually walk onto the world stage. In his previous life, only after one hundred and fifty years, it was popularized by the hunter king Sun Gan. In the fifty years after that, in the great war that affected the entire Southern Border, Gu who hid his breath was used widely and became the center of attention.
In other words, according to Fang Yuan's previous life, mankind would subconsciously protect Gu only after a hundred and fifty years. And after two hundred years, they would have the method and experience to respond to the breath that hid Gu.
The breath that hid Gu was a rank three Gu, this caravan did not have a rank four Gu Master and although there were many Gu Masters, why did they specifically pay attention to ‘Hei Tu’ and ‘Bai Yun’, respectively, two ordinary people?
Fang Yuan immediately activated Gu's crocodile power after the ancient essence section of silver snow was depleted.
A bit of new power was permanently added to his body. The skeleton was no longer white, but like a solid black iron. It was like a sturdy capstone, which stably supported a continuous increase in strength.
The night passed quietly.
The next day, at dawn when the sun had just risen, the whole camp was awake.
After a period of frenzy, the caravan continued its journey.
Zhang Zhu did not directly go to the Chen clan, but rather did a secret investigation through his subordinates first.
There was indeed a fight last night, and many witnessed it.
As for Brother Qiang and his group, they had covered up the fact that Fang Yuan had beaten them; if it was known that so many of them could not defeat one Fang Yuan, they'll lose all their faces! How can they go around?
In fact, they had checked everything yesterday and made a false statement that they all agreed to; saying ‘they bullied the newcomers and Fang Yuan offered them the primordial stone, which was a fake stone, but then he gets angry and looks for the old steward’.
After making sure the fight actually happened, Zhang Zhu set out and found the head of the Chen clan in the caravan.
This vice leader could not help but ponder when he heard the two mortal subordinates offend Zhang Xin Ci and was detained.
Although he would not offend the Zhang Clan because of the two humans, if he were to easily compromise, the prestige of the Chen Clan could fall. Moreover, he had a few people close among the servants.
After that, he asked who they were.
The vice leader of the Chen clan was slightly surprised upon hearing Zhang Zhu's reply. He had some impression of the two, he had let them in due to the request of the old village chief. But to think, they had failed on their first day.
In his opinion, Fang and Bai were supposed to be relatives of the old village chief, but so on why?
The old village chief was someone he illuminated and someone who was under his control. Giving up both of them would mean nothing to him. Moreover, they were people who had committed crimes, bringing trouble to the Chen Clan, even death was not a sufficient punishment.
As he thought of this, the vice leader had decided to hand over the two to resolve the conflict with the Zhang Clan.
However, he put on a difficult expression: “Brother Zhang, I will not hide from you, our Chen Clan might not have enough manpower if you take both of them. We can't make our Master Gu work and move the goods, right “How about this, I'll call my steward. He understands the situation, if there is indeed a lack of manpower, we might not be able to hand both of them over to you at the moment. We will temporarily hold them here and hand them over to your Zhang Clan to deal with once we get new workers in the next village. “
The vice leader could not help but reveal a smile. Like this, there would be no gossip and rumors that said the Chen Clan was afraid of the Zhang Clan.
The old maid was a bit nervous when she was called: Did I make a mistake?
However, when he was clear of his situation, he suddenly felt alive.
This is an opportunity sent from heaven!
The two were truly unlucky, falling into the hands of the Zhang Clan. Dead, you both die, then those two ancient stones will be mine.
Thinking of this, the old steward immediately slapped his chest and guaranteed that there was no problem with his labor.
Even if there was some trouble, he was determined to scout his tired old body to personally move things, for those two ancient stones!
Now, the dust has settled on this matter.
Zhang Zhu said goodbye; his heart, however, felt full.
In the next dozen days, Fang and Bai worked during the day and cultivated at night.
The caravan had left the Zi You mountain far behind and was now in the Fei Hou mountain range region.
Fang Yuan knew the further away they were from Zi You mountain, his identity would be even more hidden and thus, safer.
Through these few days of cultivation, he had gained half the strength of a crocodile. Unfortunately, many of Gu's spear bones starved to death; the number of milk springs on him was less than enough, he could only give a small amount to feed the remaining Gu worms.
Fang Yuan felt heartache because of this. Although he would not use these Gu's, they could have been sold.
He was planning to buy a set of Gu worms in the Shang clan city. This required a large amount of ancient stones. He could use the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus to produce dozens of ancient stones every day, but he could not use them in the caravan to prevent his identity from being revealed.
Therefore, he needed to make Shang Xin Ci deeper in his grasp.
He would become one of the young masters once they reached the Shang Clan, this would make Fang Yuan's trip in the Shang clan city very convenient.
Of course, the premise was that she not only needed to be close to Shang Xin Ci, but also gain her trust.
The forest in the mountains was dark and mysterious with mist lingering in the air.
The caravan slowly moved through the narrow mountain passage, and as they traveled further, the fog became thicker, their range of sight shrinking until they could only see in ten steps.
Mount Fei Hou was covered in mist, Fang and Bai had to go through a huge problem if they were to travel alone. However, they were now within the caravan, and there was of course Master Gu investigation.
Suddenly, there was some kind of commotion in front of them; the caravan stopped.
“What happened?”
“There is a problem.”
“Group of monkeys get in our way!”
A short while later, most of the people in the caravan started discussing, but no one was surprised.
Mount Fei Hou was ruled by monkeys, there were too many monkeys to count. Caravans passing through this place, will be intercepted by a group of monkeys and robbed. Anyone with experience and knowledge will not be surprised by this.
“Monkey from Fei Hou mountain? Hehe, I have read about them in books.. to think I can personally see them today.” Bai Ning Bing softly said with a hint of excitement.
Originally, when the caravan first passed the Fei Hou mountain, they had a great fight with the group of monkeys, they killed wave after wave of monkeys but the group of monkeys appeared again and again. Eventually, the caravans were either annihilated or had to retreat in defeat.
Mount Fei Hou was once known as a forbidden land and was unsurpassed for merchants.
If it was another mountain range, the various ferocious beasts were guarding each other, and there would be gaps to pass through. However, there was only a bandit monkey on Fei Hou mountain. They live together, and although there are fights between groups of monkeys, all the bandit monkeys will unite if they find an enemy from the outside.
Such strength was not something the caravan could rival.
Even a large-scale clan might not be able to clear all these groups of monkeys.
This is until ‘Sky Crown Marquis’ appears.
This was the rank five Gu Master of the straight path. He traveled all the way to Fei Hou mountain until he reached the peak, and using Gu's monkey language, he reached an agreement with the monkey emperor.
Everything changed after that.
The trade route was opened through Fei Hou mountain for the first time.
Now, this trade route was one of the three most important trade routes in the Southern Border, connecting east and west, its importance self-evident.
“These damn monkeys show up again. They're blocking our way, you all know the rules. I will tell you frankly, whoever breaks the rules and engages us, my Jia clan will not let go of them!” The leader of the caravan shouted, coldly.
“Of course . “
“Brother Jia Long is right, everything must be done according to the rules.”
“Anyone who wants to take advantage will be expelled from the caravan!”
The other vice-leader went with Jia Long.
