Chapter 248 Insect Swarm

"Second Miss, someone is coming!"

As soon as Zhao Yan got off the carriage and sat down next to the campfire to rest for a while, her guard leader Zhao Yunlong hurried over to report.

"who?"

Zhao Yan frowned slightly, her lips parted slightly, and her voice was soft and soft.

"It's an old man in his seventies or eighties, riding a donkey!" Zhao Yunlong said warily.

It was getting late now, it was pitch black all around, and in this wilderness, if an old man suddenly appeared, anyone would think there was something wrong.

This world is full of monsters, monsters and monsters.

"Let everyone be careful and adapt accordingly!" Zhao Yan ordered calmly with a raised face.

Normally, she might not be so vigilant, but this time what they found was really precious, so they had to be extremely careful.

"yes!"

Zhao Yunlong responded and immediately went down to give orders.

Soon, an old man wearing green clothes riding a donkey appeared in their sight.

The moment she saw the old man, Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

It is not yet midsummer, and in this wilderness, the weather is chilly to the bone every night. This old man's clothes are thin, so he is probably not an ordinary person.

Probably a practitioner!

However, Zhao Yan looked at the other person's donkey a little strangely.

This donkey looked like it was raised by an ordinary farmer. How could any cultivator ride such an ordinary mount? It could even walk faster than this donkey.

Such a weird combination really made her confused.

The donkey was weak and looked like it had walked a lot. I was clearly not riding on it, but it still chirped, obviously trying to give up.

"You little beast! If you continue to be lazy like this, I will make donkey meat and burn you when we get to the city!"

I cursed and drove the donkey to a green grassland, while I sat aside and rested against a big tree.

The other party obviously didn't want to contact them. They were three to four hundred steps away. If Zhao Yan hadn't had some cultivation, she probably wouldn't have been able to hear the old man's words.

Judging from the other party's behavior, he must have just happened to be passing by, otherwise he would not have acted so strangely.

"It looks like I was just passing by by chance!"

Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and asked her men to relax their guard.

Soon after, his men brought her the prepared food.

Zhao Yan was about to eat when she suddenly stopped and ordered: "Send a portion to the old gentleman."

"Uh? Second Miss, this is not good, we don't know him at all!" Zhao Yunlong said a little confused.

"Meeting each other is fate. We don't need this food, so we just want to form a good relationship." Zhao Yan said with a smile.

Since the other party has no ill intentions towards them, it is possible to make friends with them.

She has many friends and many ways to go out. Even if the other party rejects her in the end, she has nothing to lose.

"My subordinate understands!"

Zhao Yunlong, who understood the character of his second young lady, didn't say much. He took a plate full of food and brought it to the other party himself.

Looking at the food brought over, a trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes.

Zhao Yan arched her hands towards the other party from a distance, proving that she had no ill intentions.

The old man took the food, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and without a word of thanks, he picked up one of the roasted rabbit legs and started eating it. As a result, he vomited after just one bite, and then threw the food away. On the ground.

"Sure enough, don't eat random things given by strangers. If you eat too much, you will get worms in your stomach!"

As he said this, I stepped on the discarded food a few times.

Zhao Yunlong, who had just delivered the food and had not yet walked back, was so angry that he almost didn't draw his sword when he saw the old man's actions.

"You little beast, you still eat it! It's so hard that you even want to have worms in your belly!"

The old man kicked the donkey lying on the ground and was eating with gusto, then pulled the reins and prepared to leave.

Zhao Yan, who witnessed all this from a distance, could not help but reveal a hint of anger on her face.

I gave him food with good intentions, but it was fine if he didn't eat it, but he actually threw it away, and even cursed him in a roundabout way.

How can there be such ungrateful people in the world?

I really don’t know how I got so old!

Zhao Yan cursed in her heart.

At this time, another piece of food brought by the subordinates was placed in front of her.

Zhao Yan was about to reach out and take it, but suddenly froze on the spot.

A series of the old man's reactions flashed through her mind, and she felt something was wrong.

If the other party really didn't want to accept her kindness, why would he accept the food and take a bite now?

Take a bite?

Insects?

I heard from my father that there is a small force nearby called God Gu, which seems to be good at raising insects.

She stood up suddenly and shouted: "Don't eat any of them!"

The guards and men around him were all startled, wondering why their young lady had suddenly gone crazy.

"Miss, you...ah!"

Zhao Tai, the chief steward next to him, was about to ask, but he immediately let out a scream and lay on the ground rolling in pain.

Not only him, but most of the entire convoy fell down in an instant.

At the same time, buzzing sounds like mosquitoes came from all directions, as if a dense darkness was about to completely drown them in an instant.

"Light all the torches! Everyone gather in the central carriage! Sprinkle insect repellent powder!"

Zhao Yan not only ordered loudly, but also quickly took out several talismans from her pocket and threw them into the air.

In an instant, ice cones, wind blades, fire trees, and water arrows swept in all directions.

The large black clouds were shattered, and densely packed small black insects fell on the ground.

"As expected, he is from the Divine Gu Valley!"

Zhao Yan looked ugly and quickly took a photo of the amulet on her body.

She looked like the other three cultivators in the team, and found that only one could still fight, while the other two had fallen.

Zhao Yan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

This is the opponent's territory, and they themselves have no advantage. Now that they have been successfully plotted by the opponent, their strongest combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

As for those guards, they had no fighting power at all. They were brought here purely to deceive others. At this time, they were almost defenseless under the attack of the insect swarm, and most of them fell quickly.

The strength of these insects was not strong, but they seemed to be endless, and soon Zhao Yan couldn't hold it any longer.

But the true disciple has not even shown his face.

"Did I say you are done? I told you, I was just passing by!"

The old man's impatient voice came from not far away.

Then suddenly the old man's exclamation came.

"My donkey!"

The next moment, a ray of golden light flew out and quickly shuttled through the forest, like a golden meteor. Then there were several puffs and puffs in the forest, like the sound of a sharp knife penetrating flesh and blood.

Buzz!

The originally fearless insect swarm suddenly fled in all directions and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Yan did not immediately treat her men, but quickly rushed to the place where the old man made the sound.

At this time, the old man was standing in front of the fallen donkey, mumbling something.

"I originally wanted to find a good family for you, but now it seems I can only make donkey meat and burn it! Alas! Tsk tsk!"
