The next day, the sky turned white.

A motorcade drove away from Yangping Town and headed towards Lin'an County City.

It's just that the path he took was not the official path, but another branch path.

In addition to the official roads, there are several branch roads between the two places, which can also reach the county seat. However, the road conditions are not that good, but it is nothing, it just delays a little more time.

In addition, the branch road may also attract some wild beasts. These teams are not ordinary people. Even if some blind beasts bump into them, they are just giving food.

Lin Sheng followed the team and watched the carriage loaded with goods pass in front of them.

The goods escorted this time were carried out by Team 9 and Team 8. The two teams combined had about fifty people, plus some accompanying personnel and a small number of Town Mountain Tower guards, and the number of the convoy was eighty or ninety people.

This scale is quite large. After all, the convoys that used to transport Lin'an County only had twenty or thirty people accompanying them.

Obviously such a large scale is also to prepare for possible changes.

Leading the team at the front are Wang Sanyang and the captain of the eighth team, Sun Ling. In addition, there is Qian Kai, the guard captain of Town Mountain Tower. The three of them are all warriors in the early stage of muscle forging.

There are three masters in the Muscle Forging realm world leading the team, which also makes the people in the team quite relaxed. In addition to the three people, there are more than a dozen Body Tempering warriors in the team of seventy or eighty people.

Moreover, nearly half of the team is equipped with crossbows. The hunters of the Beast Hunter Hall are indispensable for hunting with crossbows, so they are quite skilled in crossbow skills, which is no worse than that of the regular army.

The combat power unleashed by such a team can be said to be quite powerful.

Even late Muscle Forging warriors will never get any benefit from this, and they may even lose their lives once they are delayed.

"Captain Lin, do you think there will be some blind people coming to us this time?"

Next to Lin Sheng, Xiao Shi looked left and right, and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Sheng just shook his head slightly.

Old Zhou on the side replied with a smile.

"With the quality of our transportation team this time, who would dare to come here without opening their eyes?"

He carried a crossbow on his back, a steel knife on his waist, and even the standard iron gun issued by the Beast Hunter Hall. It could be said that he was fully armed. Old Zhou patted the crossbow behind him.

"It doesn't matter if we run into each other. We, like us, will fire dozens of crossbows at once, and late Muscle Forging's masters will have to stay away."

"That's right." Xiao Shi nodded in agreement. In fact, this is what most people in the team think.

In their view, this trip was just a chance to go home to visit relatives in the county through their mission.

Lin Sheng didn't think so in his heart. He didn't dare to be careless when he thought that there might be a warrior from Blood Circulation realm in Black Wind Bandits.

Especially in the past few days, Town Mountain Tower didn't seem to have any major reaction to being robbed, which also gave him a bad feeling.

You must know that such a big force as Town Mountain Tower is far from being provoked by a group of Black Wind Bandits, even if Black Blind Man has broken through to Blood Circulation realm.

Town Mountain Tower's original poster, Ouyang Shan, is a well-known top expert in the county. He has been in Blood Circulation realm for many years, and his strength is also an absolute master in Blood Circulation realm. It is definitely not comparable to Black Blind Man who is in the early stage of Blood Circulation realm.

Lin Sheng can guess that the robbery may be related to Black Wind Bandits, so it is impossible for so many people like Town Mountain Tower not to guess.

In this case, no response has been made, but the transportation volume has been greatly reduced.

Such a move is obviously wrong, Lin Sheng can only think of one possibility.

That is the strongest combat power of Town Mountain Tower, Ouyang Shan. Either he was held back by something and couldn't take action, or he was injured. In short, he should be unable to take action for the time being.

That's why Town Mountain Tower behaves like this.

No matter what, Town Mountain Tower's reaction will definitely increase the arrogance of the marauder.

So this trip is not only unsafe, but also quite dangerous. If it is really Black Wind Bandits, what kind of trouble can these people make.

If he hadn't learned later that the shipment was divided into five branches, he might have taken a leave of absence.

They are just one of five teams.

Town Mountain Tower claimed that five kinds of goods were sent to various places respectively, but Lin Sheng didn't think so. In his opinion, only one of the five fleets may contain the goods that were actually sent.

In order to verify what he was thinking, he approached the carriage beside him, stretched out his palm, and inserted it directly into the tarpaulin. Then a string of information appeared in front of his eyes.

[Animal name: Blue Sheep] (has entered the body)

Without stopping, he quickened his pace to catch up with a carriage in front of him, inserting his palm into it while no one was paying attention.

The information that emerged was the same as before.

"Sure enough..."

Seeing this, Lin Sheng has basically confirmed his guess.

The carriage was loaded with valuable animal materials and meat. It was clearly just ordinary blue sheep.

They were in such a formation, but the carriage was loaded with ordinary blue sheep. This situation was obviously not right.

"A chess piece to confuse people?"

Lin Sheng shook his head and smiled, already determined.

If a group of people from the five teams really meet Black Blind Man, they will have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky. At that time, he will definitely enter Black Tiger Ape's body and run away.

Thinking about it, as long as Black Blind Man wasn't staring at him, he would have a great chance of escaping.

Although he was slightly relaxed, he was still cautious. While talking to the people around him, he also focused part of his attention on the surrounding environment. At this time, he was entering Horned Eagle.

Two points Perception Boost allowed him to detect abnormalities in advance.

The team drove slowly towards the county seat, and soon most of the day passed. At noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, emitting golden light that was quite warm.

At this time, the convoy has traveled more than thirty miles. If we continue at this speed, we will probably reach Lin'an County City by the next morning.

When it was time to eat, the queue had no intention of stopping. It just slowed down a bit to allow people to eat as they walked.

Lin Sheng took out a piece of dried meat from his carry-on bag, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Although he seemed to be focusing on the dried meat in his hand, no one noticed that his other hand had quietly turned dark green.

It was as if dark green dye had been smeared on the palm. If you look closely, you will find that the dark green on the palm does not seem to be fixed. It keeps moving on the skin. After a while, the color becomes lighter. The dark green seems to be absorbed into the muscles and disappears completely. The skin of the palm returns to normal.

"Finally, the poison of Man-Faced Spider was successfully fused with the other two poisons."

Feeling the changes in his body, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Sheng's mouth.

Yesterday, he brought Man-Faced Spider back and directly inserted it into his body.

The amplification effect it brings into the body is also quite good.

[Beast name: Man-Faced Spider (ordinary grade)]

[Human-faced spider, with six eyes and eight legs, walks like the wind, is extremely agile, likes blood, has a highly toxic body, and its toxicity is dark and lingering, rising and falling, high-grade mortal Strange Beast.]

[Requirements for body entry: None]

[Body penetration effect, Agility Boost 2 Miasmic Poison Augmentation 2]

This is the in-body attribute of Man-Faced Spider. Although it only has 4 attributes, which is inferior to Black Tiger Ape, its preciousness lies in the two-point Miasmic Poison Augmentation.

You must know that whether it is the high-level mortal grade Black Tiger Ape or Green Flower Python, the poisonous blessing it brings is only a little bit, but the power it displays is already quite good.

Therefore, the two poisonous blessings of Man-Faced Spider are even more rare.

Yesterday, he had tested the effect of Man-Faced Spider Miasmic Poison Augmentation 2, and it can be said that he was extremely satisfied.

This Miasmic Poison Augmentation 2 alone is comparable to the effect of his previous fusion of rot poison and cold poison.

Being able to have such a strong toxicity-amplifying effect also proves that the toxicity of Man-Faced Spider is indeed much higher than that of Black Tiger Ape.

So during the whole day yesterday, he basically concentrated on practicing after returning, using Man-Faced Spider's poison sac and corpse, and then successfully integrated the poison with his own Vital Blood.

And then tried to blend with other cold poison and rotten poison, until the fusion was finally successful.

After reaching this step, he once again felt that his physical fitness seemed to have improved somewhat. Although the improvement was not big, it was real. Compared with the previous successful cultivation of the first level of Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm, the amplification effect brought by it was stronger.

Obviously this is the real Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm.

"Counting the days, I will soon have my money back."

He suddenly remembered Mu Niu.

The other party promised that there would be results within ten days, but now more than half of it has passed.

Thinking of the current situation of Lin'an County, he also had some more thoughts in his mind.

Although his strength has improved very rapidly now, this Town Mountain Tower seems to be involved in some kind of whirlpool. It seems that an invisible net has wrapped up this behemoth Lin'an County. I wonder if this behemoth can break through the net and get out.

He asked himself whether he could protect himself, but Yangping Town and Lin Hong Xie Guilan were still there.

"Perhaps we should move the two elders first." He thought in his mind, as for himself.

He joined Town Mountain Tower firstly to learn martial arts skills, and secondly to Yangping Mountain.

After learning that these powerful forces had extremely strict control over martial arts, and even had some back-ups, he had basically given up thinking about martial arts.

However, Yangping Mountain is still very attractive to him. After all, there are many Strange Beast on the mountain, and there is even a powerful existence like Spirit Beast.

His current progress has nothing to do with joining Beast Hunter Hall.

So he didn't want to give up this treasured land until it was absolutely necessary.

Especially when there is a Yangping Mountain beast tide. Although the beast tide is dangerous, it is also a time when all kinds of Strange Beast appear frequently, and there is even a lot of Spirit Beast.

He has already experienced the effect of Spirit Beast entering his body. Although it is only a cub of Spirit Beast, the effect is far from ordinary and comparable to Strange Beast.

If you are lucky, you may be able to fish in troubled waters.

"Let's take a step first and see..."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Sheng stopped thinking and stuffed the remaining dried meat into his mouth.

But at this moment, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly turned his head and looked at the bushes not far from the motorcade.

There seemed to be something coming from the bush, and the bush that was half a man's height swayed slightly when it hit it, but it soon stopped.

Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly shouted.

"Who!?"

This loud shout immediately startled the people around him. Everyone looked over and followed Lin Sheng's line of sight, landing in the bushes not far away.

"What's wrong, Lin Sheng?"

Wang Sanyang, Sun Ling rode over.

"There was something there just now, but it's gone now."

Lin Sheng raised his head to indicate.

"Is there something?"

Before Wang Sanyang could speak, Qian Kai had already signaled to the guards around him.

Several guards immediately clenched their weapons and walked to the bush, but soon turned back, looked at Lin Sheng with a somewhat suspicious look, and said to Qian Kai.

"There's nothing back at the captain's place."

"Are there any footprints?"

"No, there are no traces." Several guards said with determination.

Hearing this, Qian Kai frowned and his eyes fell on Lin Sheng.

"Don't be surprised, which will affect your speed. If you want to perform well, you have to time it."

He didn't really believe there was anything there.

As the escort team of Town Mountain Tower, these people are the real elites of Town Mountain Tower. Whether it is equipment or resources, they are much better than Beast Hunter Hall's precarious hunters, and their strength is naturally stronger.

As the captain of the guard, although he, Wang Sanyang, and Sun Ling are both in the early stage of muscle training, his strength is much stronger than the two of them, and he is about to enter the later stage.

And he also knew the purpose of this operation.

Along the way, basically all attention was paid to the surrounding environment to prevent possible threats.

He did not think that anomalies that he had not noticed would be discovered by a young warrior who had just entered the Body Tempering realm.

After saying that, Qian Kai obviously had no interest in saying more and rode back to the front of the car.

"Don't be too nervous. Nothing will happen."

Wang Sanyang also patted Lin Sheng on the shoulder, and Sun Ling returned to the front of the team.

This hiccup soon passed and the team moved on.

Basically everyone thought that Lin Sheng was wrong and didn't pay too much attention to it.

Xiao Shi, on the other hand, stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Lin, what did you really discover just now?"

Hearing Xiao Shi's words, Lin Sheng was slightly surprised.

"You believe it?"

"I believe in you, Brother Lin, you can't go wrong. If you say there is something, then there must be something."

Xiao Shi had a smile on his face and his tone was quite positive.

He admires Lin Sheng in his heart and can be said to believe blindly.

"I also believe in you, Captain Lin."

Old Zhou on the side also said aloud.

They had been following Lin Sheng into the mountains to complete tasks before. They were very convinced of Lin Sheng's ability and almost never made mistakes.

"There is indeed something. Please be careful in a moment. If something happens, I will call you and you will follow me."

Lin Sheng whispered.

Xiao Shi The two of them also agreed.

Finally, his eyes fell on the surrounding bushes again. He was sure that there was indeed someone there just now, but after he shouted loudly, he left quickly, very quickly.

And being able to leave no traces clearly shows that the other party's body and light skills are extremely good.

Such a person will not be that weak.

"Yes, the passing master is still..."

He was thinking in his mind, already preparing for the worst.
