Avenue Stowaway

The Jinhai caravan started on its journey again, but the captain of the caravan, Mo Liubai, was feeling a little uneasy. The caravan's current situation was too strange, and the hidden strong man made him feel apprehensive. After all, he didn't know what the other party's purpose was. If the hidden strong man was a member of a bandit gang, their caravan would be in danger if they encountered that bandit gang.

"The powerful man in the dark can only be one of the sixteen who joined the caravan later." Mo Liubai kept thinking in his mind, trying to find the hidden monk. "At that time, Quiro was right next to me, and the fight with the bandits was very fierce. He had no time to take action. He couldn't be the powerful man in the dark. Among the remaining fifteen people, there are four monks in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. One died in the previous battle, and now there are only three left. The strength of these three people seems to be very ordinary, and the most important thing is that the talents they have are not water talents."

It is also possible that these three people have a second talent, which is hidden.

"Judging from the strength that strong man showed at that time, he was one of the stronger ones even among those at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. If that person is some kind of heaven-defying evildoer, it is possible that his cultivation level is not at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but his strength has reached this level. Then, the three people at the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm could all be the hidden strong man."

This guess is the most normal and the most likely. There are evildoers who can exert the peak strength of the Transformation Realm in the late stage of the Transformation Realm. But if it is said that one can exert the peak strength of the Transformation Realm in the middle stage of the Transformation Realm, this possibility is really too small. Of course, this possibility is not impossible. But if there really is such an evildoer...

"This kind of monster must have been cultivated by some extremely powerful forces or families with great efforts and costs. How could he be allowed to take risks alone? He must be surrounded by several powerful people for protection. But in the heart of the Flame Mountain, it is not easy to protect himself in secret without being discovered." Mo Liubai frowned deeper and deeper, because he did not find any signs of any powerful people following him in secret.

If it were somewhere else, Mo Liubai would not have dared to be so arrogant as to think that he could find the traces of the strong. But this is Huoyan Mountain, the terrain is complicated, and there are robbers who often appear. If the person you are protecting is too far away, it will be too late to rush to rescue when you find danger.

"It is unlikely that the strong man is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He should be one of the three cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm." Mo Liubai didn't even think about the possibility that the strong man might only be in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, because this was simply impossible in Mo Liubai's cognition.

With the cultivation base of the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, being able to exert the strength of the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm is already quite amazing! As for the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm? How is this possible?

Guessing that the hidden strong man might be one of the three late-stage Spiritual Transformation cultivators, Mo Liubai kept an eye on the three people in the following time. However, the three people seemed very normal and did not show anything special. Mo Liubai did not give up and continued to observe all the way. Since the other party wanted to hide his identity, how could he easily see it?

In fact, the best thing to do at this time is to let these three late-stage Spiritualization cultivators leave the caravan. This way, the threat to the caravan will naturally be reduced.

Of course, it's just a reduction.

The caravan had gone through a great battle. More than ten people died, and now the caravan has only about forty people. If they lose three more late-stage Spiritual Transformation cultivators, the caravan's strength will be greatly weakened. There is another point, which is actually a reason why Mo Liubai didn't want to do such an extreme thing.

That is, if the other party really came from a bandit gang, it would be impossible for them to display such strong strength, because doing so would easily attract his attention and make him feel fearful, which is not a good thing for a bandit gang.

Putting all this aside, Mo Liubai actually had a question in his mind.

"Since the opponent is so strong, why didn't he kill the bandit who was closest to him and was in the late or middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but instead attacked the bandit who was farthest away and was in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"

This puzzled Mo Liubai. He felt like he had missed something, but couldn't find it.

Of course, Mo Liubai kept all these things in his heart and did not tell other team members, not even his one-armed companion flying beside him. Everything was just his guess, there was no need to tell it out loud and make people uneasy.

The group continued to move forward along various complex terrains. After experiencing the robbers last time, the journey became much calmer. Although they encountered a gang of robbers on the road, the strength of that gang was very weak and they did not dare to attack them. Seeing the Jinhai caravan flying over, the gang of robbers quickly fled from a distance.

In the heart of the Flaming Mountain, although it was bandits who robbed the caravans and the groups of independent cultivators, if they encountered a weaker bandit group, the caravans and the groups of independent cultivators would immediately turn into bandits and rob back.

The Jinhai caravan was traveling quickly along the way. Mo Liubai and the other two who were at the front of the team also took turns checking the situation ahead to avoid an ambush.

"We will be able to leave the Flaming Mountain in one more day, and then everyone will be able to relax. Now, everyone should stay in peak condition, because this final distance is often the most dangerous." Mo Liubai, who was flying in the front of the team, suddenly sent a message to everyone, reminding everyone to be vigilant.

At this time, the caravan was in a canyon. The peaks on both sides were very far away, several miles away. Below the caravan was a slightly undulating dark brown land. The land was cracked with dark red cracks, and flames were even coming out of many places.

At this location close to the exit of the Flame Mountain, the flames above the head are relatively low, and the earth also contains a very strong fire power. The ground here is scorched by the flames all year round, so it has become this dark brown.

Hearing Mo Liubai's voice transmission, Kong Fang also became alert. Although the power of his soul did not radiate out, his perception was raised to the limit. He deliberately sensed the situation ahead. As long as there was danger, Kong Fang believed that he would be able to sense it.

Flying in this passage in the middle of the Flame Mountain, there is no difference between day and night. The sky and the peaks on both sides are all burning with flames, illuminating the passage brightly.

Three hours later, Kong Fang, who was flying at the end of the team, suddenly frowned, "Hmm? There seems to be a hint of danger ahead."

Kong Fang was very confident in his own perception. After discovering the dangerous aura, he immediately radiated his spiritual power forward without hesitation.

Kong Fang's soul power bypassed Mo Liubai and the other two, and did not cover them. Although Mo Liubai and the other two noticed the fluctuation of soul power, they ignored it. Ever since Mo Liubai reminded everyone to pay more attention to the surrounding situation, people often radiate soul power to investigate the situation.

When Kong Fang's spiritual power quickly covered a distance of seven or eight miles ahead, Kong Fang was shocked. He discovered the robbers hiding in the dark and brown underground.

"These people are better at hiding than the bandit group we encountered at the beginning. Although this group has only 32 people, their cultivation..." Kong Fang's heart also became slightly solemn. "Each bandit is at least in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Among them, there are more cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm than in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. There are a total of 16 people. Fortunately, there is only one cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and one cultivator at the limit of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. In terms of peak combat power, we have a great advantage here."

"The distance between the two sides is very close. Haven't Mo Liubai and the others noticed it yet?" Kong Fang quickly retracted his spiritual power, and then looked at Mo Liubai and the other two flying in the front in surprise. At this time, it was Mo Liubai himself who was checking the situation ahead.

"If they are attacked, this caravan will be in danger. Although we have the advantage in peak combat power, the people below are likely to die soon." These people dared to cross the middle of the Flame Mountain, so they were naturally prepared for death. However, they had flown side by side for many days, so Kong Fang would not be stingy if he could help.

Kong Fang's spiritual power quickly radiated forward and enveloped Mo Liubai. Mo Liubai was a little surprised to be suddenly covered by the spiritual power of others. He found that the one who covered him with the spiritual power was not his subordinate, so he immediately became alert.

"There are bandits lying in ambush ahead, and this bandit group is very powerful. There are sixteen bandits in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and even the weakest ones are in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm." Kong Fang quickly introduced the strength of the bandit group through voice transmission.

"How did you find out?" Mo Liubai was shocked and asked through voice transmission. He had not found the bandit group led by the white-faced scholar at the beginning, and he had not found this bandit group either. Moreover, what shocked Mo Liubai was the person who sent him the voice transmission. This person could find out the whereabouts of the bandits in advance, so he must be the hidden strong man.

"Don't worry about how I found out. If you delay any longer, the caravan will fly into the enemy's ambush." ​​Kong Fang replied coldly. At this time, Mo Liubai was still pestering him about how he discovered the robbers.

Mo Liubai immediately came to his senses and shouted in a voice transmission: "Stop!"

Everyone immediately stopped in the air, with an expression of astonishment and disbelief on everyone's face. Did they encounter robbers again?

Normally, encountering one or two bandit groups was considered very bad luck, but this time they actually encountered three bandit groups.

When the team quickly stopped, Mo Liubai hurriedly asked Kong Fang again, "What is the cultivation level of the strongest among the bandits?" Mo Liubai couldn't find the other party, so he could only ask Kong Fang for help.

Kong Fang replied in voice transmission: "One is at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and the other is at the limit of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

The peak combat power is slightly weaker than his own, which makes Mo Liubai feel a little relieved.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Quiro looked at Mo Liubai in surprise and asked.

"There are bandits lying in ambush ahead!" Mo Liubai did not hide it and said it directly.

"There are robbers?" Quiro's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he asked: "How strong are they?"

"I'm not sure." Mo Liubai didn't tell Kong Fang what he had heard. He didn't dare to completely believe what Kong Fang said, so how could he tell it to others?

At this moment, pieces of soil several miles ahead quickly bulged up, and bandits broke out from the ground and quickly flew into the air. The aura of each bandit was very sharp. "I never thought that someone could find our Blade Group." The leader was a burly monk dressed in black with a blood-red sword embroidered on his clothes. He was looking at the caravan with a smile on his face.

That relaxed look was like a hunter looking at his prey, not in a hurry at all, but rather with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"We have some advantages in peak combat power. If a fight breaks out, you may not gain any advantage." Mo Liubai stared at the burly monk in black and said, "I hope you will get out of the way and let us pass."

“Hahaha!” The burly monk in black suddenly laughed, but then his face suddenly darkened. “What a joke! Are we bandits afraid of death? Today, none of you can leave here. Brothers, kill them!”

As he spoke, the burly monk in black took the lead and rushed towards the caravan. The other bandits followed closely behind with cold eyes.

"Damn it." Mo Liubai cursed inwardly, "I actually met a group of lunatics." Mo Liubai didn't want his men to die, but the other side was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of peak combat power, but they still came to kill him regardless of everything.

puff!

Suddenly, there was a sound of weapon piercing flesh coming from the side. Mo Liubai turned around in astonishment. When he saw a fist-sized hole on the one-armed monk's heart, his eyes immediately turned red, "Qi Luo!" Mo Liubai roared angrily. His companion actually died in front of him.

Quiro flew quickly and tried to get closer to the robbers. Mo Liubai, who was at the limit of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, was much stronger than him, and he didn't want to die here.

"Bastard, give me your life!" Mo Liubai rushed towards Quiro with red eyes. At this point, Mo Liubai couldn't help but understand that Quiro was actually a member of the Blade Bandits. He had been holding back until now just for this sneak attack.

It's ridiculous that he still thought he had the advantage. Now his companion at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm was killed, while the other side had two cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and one cultivator at the limit of the Spirit Transformation Realm. They were instantly at a disadvantage.

The other monks in the caravan were also stunned by this sudden change. Quiro, who had fought alongside them, turned out to be a member of this bandit group.

The other side had three peak Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivators, and they only had Captain Mo Liubai left. How could they fight? Every cultivator had a terrified look on their faces. This time, they were really in a desperate situation.

call out!

Kong Fang flew out quickly and rushed straight towards Quiro.

"No wonder I felt that he was hiding his strength before. It turns out that he is an undercover agent of the bandits. He must have hidden part of his strength for a sneak attack. Quiro's first target should be Mo Liubai, but Mo Liubai was far away from him just now, so he shifted his target to the one-armed monk."

At this time, Kong Fang finally understood why he felt that something was wrong with Quiro.

The peak combat power of the bandits far exceeded his own, and Mo Liubai felt a little depressed. He was no match for the bandits. Now, he just wanted to avenge his companions first. But when he saw Kong Fang flying over quickly, Mo Liubai's eyes lit up immediately, "We haven't lost yet, we still have this hidden strong man on our side. If the two of us work together, we may not be unable to fight." Mo Liubai immediately felt hope in his heart.
