The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 48
Chapter 48 Manto Trading Company (2)
When everyone arrived at the location of the caravan, they immediately saw a dozen corpses lying on the sand. There were also dozens of people sitting on the ground, many of them with broken legs and hands. This showed how intense the battle between them and the barbarians was.
“Fortunately, you came by coincidence. We were just surrounded when you appeared. If we delay for a while longer, we will probably lose more lives,” said Tuo Luoniao.
XinFeng discovered that regardless of whether it was Qi Tianyao or Wen Yan, they were all very arrogant. Other than him and Qi Tianyao chatting with each other, the others didn’t say a word. They just looked around curiously. As for the thunderstorm that came up behind them, Qi Xuan and Du Hongchen even shut their lips tightly.
This was probably the natural barrier between cultivators and ordinary people. In this world, cultivators didn’t think much of ordinary people.
Tuo Luoniao’s attitude showed that ordinary people, even if he was a direct descendant of a great power, were still extremely respectful towards cultivators.
Qi Tianyao turned around to discuss with Qi Xuan, and basically decided that they would follow the caravan.
Tuo Luoniao immediately arranged for a few sand boats for them to sit on.
Lei Xingfeng found the boat interesting, There were wheels on both sides. However, the wheels were raised and did not touch the ground. After a brief look, he understood that the wheels could be lowered. In other words, on the sand, the sand boat was sliding on the sand and out of the desert. The wheels could be lowered and became a car with wheels. The design was very exquisite.
The sand boat was dragged by the Shatuo beast, The Shatuo Beast was a unique animal in Xi Rong. Its characteristics were somewhat similar to the camels of XinFeng’s previous life, but its appearance was completely different. It was more like a turtle. It looked like a tortoise that had been forcefully squeezed from both sides. It had thick limbs. Of course, it did not have the hard shell of a turtle.
Dozens of desert hounds were scattered in the team. This was a dog used for early warning. Its nose was very sensitive. Once it smelled the barbarian’s aura, it would go berserk. It was one of the best dogs in the desert.
Tuo Luo Nian commanded his subordinates to burn the corpse. Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, “Why not bury it?”
The members of the caravan all revealed surprised expressions. It seemed that this question was a bit stupid. The Tuo Luo Bird did not dare to show a look of contempt. He explained, “You can’t bury it, because the barbarians’ noses are also very sensitive. If they bury it in the sand, they will dig it out and eat it.”
XinFeng felt disgusted and shook his head with a bitter smile. This barbarian really dared to eat anything.
Very quickly, the caravan resumed its journey.
Sitting on the sand boat, Lei Xing Yao was very excited. This was the first time she got on this kind of car. The sand boat glided on the sand ground, making a light rustling sound. Sitting on the sand boat, she could not feel any jolts at all. It was exceptionally stable. Moreover, the body of the sand boat was large, and there were huge wheels on both sides blocking it, forming a railing effect.
The Sha Tuo Beast was running in the desert, but it could not hear its footsteps. Its feet were soft and huge, and it landed silently. The long line of sand boats looked very spectacular, with dozens of desert hounds running back and forth.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the oasis in front of them was getting clearer and
The Tuo Luo Bird rode a Sha Tuo beast and rushed over. He came to the side of the sand boat in Lei Xingfeng and said, “We will arrive at the encampment soon. It is not far ahead.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Alright.”
Only then did the Tuo Luo Bird activate the Sha Tuo Beast to run away, and he commanded the group loudly.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Grandpa, are we going to Xi Rong Country? Is that place also in Xi Rong Country?”
Elder Thunder sat cross-legged, Hearing this, he smiled and said, “Of course not in Xi Rong, ‘”Haha, Xi Rong Country is my meeting point. I still have some friends who want to come. It’s not enough for us to fight for this type of treasure. If we don’t get ready, we will definitely die. Furthermore, I have to arrange for Yao Yao. You can follow me. Yao Yao’s strength is too weak. If anything happens, we won’t be able to endure it.”
Xinyao immediately gave up and said, “Grandpa, don’t leave me behind.”
Old Man Lei Bao gently touched Xinyao’s head and smiled bitterly. “Yaoyao, you can’t distract Grandpa and Big Brother. Otherwise, we will die …”
Lei Xing Yao was instantly frightened. She said, “I don’t want Grandpa and Big Brother to die.” Her tears were already flowing in her eyes. Lei Xingfeng hurriedly hugged her and whispered, “It’s fine. Grandpa and big brother are fine. Grandpa is so strong, Yaoyao won’t cry.” He glared at Elder Thunder.
Elder Thunder smiled bitterly again. He raised his hand and said, “Alright, alright, I won’t say anything. You can try to persuade him.” He knew that Lei Xingfeng doted on this little girl more than he did, and simply refused to let her suffer any grievances.
However, XinFeng agreed to leave XinYao in a safe place for the time being. He was also worried that Xinyao hadn’t reached the age of cultivation yet. She was only six years old, which was inferior to ordinary people. It was too dangerous to compete with them for the Lun Tsang space. No matter how powerful Old Man Lei Bao was, there would always be times when he was negligent. He was afraid that if Xinyao were to be affected, he would definitely go crazy.
While comforting Xinyao, While thinking about the Lun Tsang space, According to the Star Python Record, the Lun Tsang space was only slightly larger at the beginning, but in the end, it could be incredibly large. The most miraculous thing was that once the owner of the Lun Tsang space died, it could actually form a small world. Of course, this small world was not immortal. Basically, 10,000 years later, it would begin to collapse.
When the small world collapsed, something very precious would appear. For example, the Lun Tian space of a super expert of the Gold element would appear and form a small world. After years of erosion, it would collapse. Then, a large amount of precious Gold element ores would appear and even large metal deposits would be formed. For cultivators of the Gold element, that was an absolute treasure trove.
The same was true of Lunzang Space from other departments. Therefore, there were all kinds of treasures in this world. Most of them were formed by Lunzang Space. Every time Lunzang Space appeared, it was a bloody storm. Countless experts appeared. Many of them were old monsters with incredibly high cultivation levels. Without any strength, wanting to fight for such treasures was no different from sending them to their deaths.
There were also some smart fellows who would usually wait until the competition was over before picking up some leftovers. Even so, they would still be able to find quite a few good things.
The sky finally darkened and torches lit one by one. The Tuo Luo Bird kept urging it to speed up.
Lei Xing Yao was sweating profusely. She said, “Big brother, it’s so hot. I want to drink water.” She had already drunk a lot of water, and Lei Xingfeng was also covered in sweat. He said, “Yaoyao, this place is different from our house. The desert is like this … After a while, it will become cold.” The desert climate, he had long known, would become quite cold once it was late at night.
Someone shouted in front of him. Elder Thunder smiled and said, “Here we are. Haha, luckily we followed the caravan. If we walked over by ourselves, it should be even later.”
Xinyao was pleasantly surprised, “Big brother, I heard the sound of water! There’s water! I want to take a bath!”
A large pond and a small river flowed horizontally. There were a large number of shrubs growing on the ground, as well as a large number of weeds and reeds. Under the illumination of the torch, one could clearly see the reflection of the water surface.
Under the command of the Tuo Luo bird, the merchant caravan began to organize the sand boat and the Sha Tuo beast. They had to feed and drink water to the Sha Tuo beast first, and then enclose the sand boat as a defensive position before they could finish their meal and drink water.
Qi Xuan’s team did not need a caravan to solve the problem of food and drink. They all brought sufficient food and water. Soon, a bonfire was lit, and the people of the small team sat around the bonfire.
Lei Xingfeng went to the water and fetched a bucket of water to wash the old man and little sister’s faces.
A few members took out some cured meat and began to barbecue. All of them were fresh meat that had not been cured for a long time. There was a large amount of barbaric beef among them. This kind of meat was delicious and nutritious. It could replenish the consumption of the body.
By the time the Tuo Luo Bird’s caravan was busy and they started preparing food, XinFeng and the others had already started to eat.
The caravan had specially prepared tents. XinFeng discovered that only a few dozen people with status had tents outside the caravan. Everyone else was sleeping in their clothes. They could withstand the cold of the desert night by relying on the campfire.
The old man was in the same tent as XinFeng and XinYao. XinYao was young, so she slept with XinFeng.
It was almost dawn when the old man suddenly sat up. He woke up as soon as he moved XinFeng and whispered, “Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
The old man whispered, “There are people coming over. Many … well, there are seven or eight hundred … not barbarians.”
XinFeng wasn’t as powerful as the old man, so he naturally couldn’t detect it. He said, “Was it accidental passing by, or was it specifically aimed at this place?”
The old man snorted coldly and said, “It should be specifically aimed at this place. They are all carrying weapons and sneaking over. They will arrive in a few hundred meters.”
Lei Xingfeng sighed and said, “It’s not peaceful anywhere. Should I remind them?”
The old man smiled and said, “They are all in the same group now. I believe they will not let anyone off.”
XinFeng said, “Alright, then let me …” He picked XinYao up and walked out of the tent. He raised his head and let out a long howl, then shouted, “Attack!”
Immediately, the camp was in chaos. Most of the people slept with their clothes on, so they immediately jumped up, held their weapons and shouted, “Enemy attack? Where? Where!”
Actually, there was another person who noticed that Qi Xuan was only a little later than the old man. After all, he was also an expert of the True Body of the Third Ring. No matter how cautious the other party was, that voice was still captured. Hearing Lei Xingfeng’s warning roar, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Interesting, the luck of the owner of this caravan … is really bad enough.”
