Chapter 902: Disguised farmer (1)
Half a month later.
At the peak of a snowy mountain.
This mountain was at the end of the burial Star Mountain range. As long as they crossed it, they would be able to reach the newly discovered mine.
“Set up the camp.” Seeing that the sky had turned dark, Xia qingchen ordered the team to stop and rest.
It was very dangerous to March on the snowy mountain at night, so they should not act rashly.
The soldiers set up camp on the Leeward side of the mountain, while Xia qingchen went to the peak and stood on a rock covered in white snow.
Looking out from here, one could see a huge mountain in the distance.
In the night, it was as if a giant monster had descended from the sky and was sitting on the earth.
“No wonder the Liang Prince places so much importance on this.” Xia qingchen mumbled to himself.
The mountain where the mine was found was more than ten times larger than the one occupied by the zhongyun territory.
There must be an intense fight between the two sides for this mountain.
Fortunately, the zhongyun territory had been too smart for their own good and cheated to leave the mine. As a result, the cool territory had occupied it.
At the moment, two armies of the Liang Jing were stationed on the mountain, which amounted to about 200000 people.
With the geographical advantage, it was easy to defend and hard to attack. If they wanted to take back the zhongyun territory, they would have to have the help of a mole like Yu guitian.
Xia qingchen took in a breath of cold air and sat down cross-legged, preparing to remove the impurities in his body.
After half a month’s hard work, most of the impurities in his body had been removed, leaving only a small amount in his heart.
In another two to three days, it would be completely cleared, and his body would recover completely.
Creak-
Suddenly, a crisp sound entered his ears.
It was the sound of ice breaking.
It was very common for icicles to break at the peak of the snowy mountain. However, Xia qingchen’s eyes instantly turned sharp.”Come out!”
It was indeed common for icicles to break, so he would not be suspicious.
However, what made him suspicious was that the broken icicles did not make any sound as they fell to the ground.
There was only one explanation, someone caught it!
As expected!
A thousand feet away, an old and a young farmer in straw raincoat walked over from the corner of the giant rock.
They were wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes, and their faces were red from the cold. At this moment, they were looking at Xia qingchen with unease.
“Big … My Lord, we didn’t hide here on purpose.” The old farmer said in fear.
The little farmer beside him kept rubbing his palms and panting, his thin body shivering in the cold.
“What are you guys doing here?” Xia qingchen asked.
“We’re here to pick the snow Mountain Lotus,” the old farmer said.
As he spoke, he took down the basket on his back. From a distance, it was indeed filled with a lot of snow lotuses.
let’s go. Xia qingchen took a glance and said, ” let’s go.
The two farmers were relieved and immediately went down the mountain.
At this moment, Fang cuihong, who had heard the voice, led a team and rushed over.
“My Lord, is there someone here?” Fang cuihong said.
Xia qingchen pointed to the two farmers who were going down the mountain. “They.”
Fang cuihong took a look and saw that it was just a farmer picking lotus flowers, so she let down her guard.
The snow mountains in the North had a very unique Snow Lotus, and many Lotus harvesters made a living from it, so it was not unusual.
“Fire the arrows and kill them!” However, Xia qingchen added.
Eh?
Fang cuihong froze, thinking she had heard wrong. Kill two unarmed farmers?
However, as a soldier, Fang cuihong carried out her superior’s orders loyally. She set up the crossbow decisively and ordered, “”Kill!”
The hundred or so soldiers that followed immediately set up their crossbows and fired military arrows.
Xiu Xiu Xiu-
A large number of crossbow arrows came like a black cloud, shooting at the two farmers.
However, the two seemingly unarmed farmers actually lifted their coats and displayed an extremely fast movement technique, instantly avoiding the attack of the crossbow.
What was even more terrifying was that the little farmer’s cultivation had reached the major star position.
And the old farmer was actually an expert at the little moon realm!
“Damn it!” The old farmer ran out of the range of the arrows and turned his head to curse at Xia qingchen.
When Fang cuihong saw this, she understood that Xia qingchen wasn’t killing innocents. He had simply noticed that there was something wrong with the two of them.
“Use the explosive arrows!” Fang cuihong immediately said.
She and the soldiers each took out a special red-headed crossbow from their quivers.
This was an explosive crossbow specially developed by the military Palace. Because the refining process was very difficult, the production was very small, and only a small number was ordered from the Ling Palace every year.
However, the spirit Palace was Xia qingchen’s. Would it be difficult to get the spirit Palace to refine a little more for his heavenly group to use?
More than 100 people immediately mounted explosive crossbows and shot out in unison.
Another rain of arrows came, and the old man pulled the small farmer and fled quickly down the hill.
With their movement techniques, they could naturally avoid ordinary arrows.
However, the explosive crossbow was a new type of crossbow specially made by the military Palace. Not only was it powerful, but it was also faster.
Before they could avoid it, a rain of arrows came.
Seeing that he couldn’t escape, the old man snorted coldly and stopped. He used the power of the moon tier to sweep the sky three meters in front of him.
With his strength at the moon tier, sweeping away a wave of arrows was nothing.
However, when the crossbow was hit by the strong force, the red arrow was punished and immediately exploded.
Bang-
The old man was the first to be blown back by the explosion. The violent explosion also detonated all the arrows, causing a series of explosions.
Countless flames and powerful air currents were enough to kill a moon tier elite.
The old man was shocked. He immediately pounced on the ground and rolled forward, avoiding most of the explosion.
However, his face was still accidentally injured by the crossbow, and a large burn mark appeared.
He had the strength to escape the range of the explosion, but the little farmer was not so lucky. After a scream, he was lying in the snow, covered in blood and flesh.
Upon seeing this, the old man’s eyes were about to pop out. He stared at Xia qingchen with hatred in his eyes.”This old man won’t spare you!”
Fang cuihong’s eyes turned cold, and she took out the explosive crossbow again.
After witnessing the power of the crossbow, the old man immediately turned around and fled, disappearing into the vast snowy night.
“Stop chasing.” Xia qingchen called out to Fang cuihong and the others, who wanted to go down the mountain to give chase.
If a moon tier elite wanted to escape, Fang cuihong and the others wouldn’t be able to catch up with them with their cultivation. Furthermore, they would be easily defeated by the old man, which was very risky.
“Search the body.” He said.
Fang cuihong immediately returned and searched the corpse for a while. She actually found a token.
second-grade secret agent of King zhongyun, Wang Kai. Fang cuihong’s pupils shrank,’they’re from the zhongyun territory! What are they doing here?”
This place belonged to the realm of coolness.
Xia qingchen glanced at the huge mountain not far away and said calmly, “”To spy on the military intelligence, of course.”
Standing on the snow Mountain, if one had a vision-type Nirvana artifact, they would be able to see the situation of the troops stationed on the mine.
“But my Lord, how did you confirm that they were farmers?” Fang cuihong was surprised.
Could it be that Xia qingchen wasn’t afraid of mistakenly killing an innocent Lotus harvester?
Xia qingchen continued, ” firstly, they address me as ‘Lord’ when they first met me. Would ordinary farmers address a young man in this manner? ”
Fang cuihong nodded slightly. He was indeed suspicious. Earlier on, Xia qingchen was here alone. No matter what, they shouldn’t have addressed him as ‘Sir’.
The only explanation was that they had discovered the existence of the purple heavenly group in advance, so they called them that.
secondly, the snow lotuses in their baskets were all from two days ago. Why didn’t the Lotus pickers sell the lotuses they obtained at the first moment? why did they leave them in their baskets and run around the mountain? ”
The snow Lotus was a type of plant that withered easily. Usually, after obtaining it, they would sell it immediately.
How could they not sell it after two or three days?
Fang cuihong finally understood,’they’ve made a mistake! They must have prepared the snow lotuses two or three days ago and disguised themselves as Lotus pickers. I didn’t expect to meet Daren’s sharp eyes.”
yes. Xia qingchen was expressionless. strengthen the security!
“Yes!”
Xia qingchen found a new place and sat down quietly to remove the impurities in his body.
The next day, at 10 am.
Xia qingchen stood up and cast a glance at the mine. “Send someone to inform our Army about last night’s incident at the snow Mountain. Tell them to take early precautions.”
“Yes!” “Cheng Yun, you go,” Fang cuihong said.
