Chapter 41: Wolf's Teeth
Stepping out of the cave, time was running out, we must rush to the purple gold vein before the secret team sent by the Tian family and the Wan family.
Going late and having the vein occupied, or triggering a crustal collapse, would be a fatal blow to the Xu Family.
Utilizing the Seven Star Steps, the electricity flashed and flowed, the journey of more than a day was compressed into half a day, and finally appeared in the Purple Gold Mining Vein campsite before nightfall.
The Xu family was stationed here, with a hundred guards and two innate realm experts, coupled with the status of the Xu family, there had been peace and quiet over the years.
The camp is very large, in addition to the guards, there are several hundred miners, day and night digging ore, from this place to transport out, every three days, the Xu family caravan came in, decades as one day.
Camp cooking smoke, the sky gradually darkened, from the underground mines came out one after another hundreds of miners, dragging the tired body, back to the camp to rest.
The Xu family treated the miners with generous treatment, many people in Canglan City were willing to work in the Xu family's veins for high pay, and there was basically no shortage of people.
The camp was built on the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there was only one entrance, constructed with a wooden fence, there was also a high sentry post, if someone came, they could see it at the first time, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The entrance to the mine, on the west side of the camp, was guarded by ten guards, patrolling day and night, so that there would not be any theft, strict discipline.
Liu Wu Xie stood outside the fence, looking at the peaceful camp of the mine vein, and let out a sigh of relief, the elite teams sent by the two families, should not have arrived yet.
A straight main road, straight to the depths of the mineral vein, leaving behind two deep cartwheel gullies.
At this time!
Straight road, walking a thin silhouette, dressed in green robes, handsome, two sword eyebrow slightly up, as if pulling the sky sharp sword, pointing to the sky.
Not in a hurry, after tea, stood in front of the Xu family camp gate.
"Come on people stop, this is a forbidden place, not open to the public, please leave quickly."
A cold shout came from above the outpost, from the darkness, several guards drilled out, holding longbows, aiming at Liu Wu Xie, before taking a step forward, kill without amnesty.
"Servant Gan, can't even recognize me!"
Liu Wu Xie stopped and looked over towards the top of the post, the Xu family guards rotate in shifts in March, and after the mining vein rotation in March, they return to Canglan City and alternate back and forth.
These guards present were not unfamiliar and could be recognized at a glance.
"Uncle? What is he doing here?"
The Gan guards revealed a trace of doubt, they were transferred here two months ago, the things that happened in Canglan City, they didn't know yet, they had been stuck in two months ago, Liu Wu Xie was a waste in their mind.
"This punk even ran to the mineral vein, how did he get here."
The guard holding the longbow put down the bow and arrows in his hand and let out a contemptuous sound, the voice was not loud, but it could reach Liu Wu Xie's ears, and did not care, the corner of his mouth was always with a faint smile.
"It is estimated that Canglan City is tired of staying in Canglan City, ran out to taste the freshness, really think that the Sunset Mountain Range is anyone can come in, it is estimated that the family guards escorted to this place."
No one believed that Liu Wu Xie had crossed the Sunset Mountain Range alone and arrived here, and after the accompanying guards delivered it, they turned around and left.
"What is this trash doing here? Could it be the family master's intention for him to familiarize himself with the mine veins."
Everyone's expression, Liu Wu Xie see in the eyes, did not attack, his heart has long been honed out, can not because of three words, let him rage, besides there is no need, with a group of guards general understanding.
The fence slowly opened, in the many doubtful and mocking smiles, Liu Wuxie walked into the camp.
Learning that Liu Wu Xie had come, the two innate realm powerhouses guarding this place showed up.
"Greetings to Deacon Hu, Second Uncle!"
Deacon Hu is in his thirties, the third level of the Innate Realm, the middle-aged man who calls him Second Uncle, has a tough face, seven times similar to Xu Yilin's appearance, it is Xu Yilin's younger brother, Xu Yishan, Xu Lingxue's Second Uncle, when he was a child, Liu WuXi had always addressed him as Second Uncle.
After marrying Xu Lingxue, he should change his name to father-in-law, but he is already used to it and is too lazy to change his name.
Xu Yishan's face is not good, can be said to be very hateful to Liu Wuxie, he did not talk to his big brother, cancel this marriage, big brother is bent on, finally still let Liu Wuxie and Xu Lingxue marriage.
On the wedding day, Xu Yishan did not return to Canglan City, on this marriage, very dissatisfied.
On this side of the mine vein, most of it was taken care of by Xu Yishan, Xu Yilin rarely participated, he was the peak of the innate realm, guarding this place, it was also appropriate.
Xu Yishan is busy managing the mine vein, did not marry, has long treated Xu Lingxue as his own daughter, watched Lingxue marry a waste, that kind of mood, can be imagined.
"What are you doing here!"
Deacon Hu didn't say anything, he was an outsider after all, he still had to maintain a respect for Liu Wu Xie, Xu Yishan asked icily.
"I received news that the Tian Family and the Wan Family sent elite teams to annex our Xu Family's mining veins, I came to inform everyone to take precautions."
Liu Wu Xie was not angry, gently bowed and told the news he knew, for the time being, it was not clear how many people the other party had sent, taking precautions would only be beneficial and not harmful.
"This news was told to you by big brother, or did you make it up yourself."
Xu Yishan of course did not believe, big brother's flying pigeon transmission mentioned that the transportation team was attacked, and did not mention that the two families wanted to make a move on the ore vein, and thought that Liu Wu Xie was blabbering nonsense.
"Father-in-law doesn't know about this yet, it's too late to inform him, I rushed over to inform everyone myself first."
Song Tianhao told him that Tian family and Wan family are going to be unfavorable to the mining vein, the news is not confirmed after all, Liu Wu Xie is not good at making wild guesses, and he got the exact news from Tian Cracker's mouth, and that's why he hurriedly rushed here.
"Just based on your side of the story, what kind of joke is this, where to come get back to where you came from, this is not the place for you to come."
Xu Yishan snorted, a look of disdain, to this waste, not at all good feeling, since childhood, how much trouble caused, are big brother for him to wipe his ass, still have the face to stay in the Xu family.
"Second uncle, I honor you as an elder, giving enough respect due to the younger generation, the news is true, believe it or not, you guys make your own decision."
Liu Wu Xie flung his sleeve robe, too lazy to continue nonsense with them, walked towards the depths of the camp, there was no one to stop him, it was already dark, traveling alone to the Sunset Mountain Range was very dangerous, he could only wait for the team that was delivering the goods to come in three days, and bring him back to Cang Lan City together.
The guards on the road have cast disdainful eyes, all kinds of mocking voices, Liu Wu Xie turned a deaf ear, walked around the camp, it was already night time.
"Auntie, already arranged a room for you, rest early."
Very reluctant, still arranged a place for Liu Wu Xie to stay, a separate small room, not large, only seven or eight square meters, the camp area of the mining vein seems to be very large, the living environment is very harsh, ordinary miners, ten people live in one room.
"Thank you!"
The entire environment of the camp, imprinted into the mind, returned to the house and began to organize.
"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, built on the mountains, if we can set up a mountain guarding formation, even if an expert comes, he can't break into the formation, what kind of formation should we set up?"
Liu Wu Xie muttered, it would take several days to set up the formation, it was too late to start now, there was still a lack of some materials that needed to be purchased from Canglan City, the flying pigeon message would take a day before father in law could receive the message, and it would take some days to transport it over.
Too strong formation, the resources needed are horrible, the materials may not be able to come together.
Too weak formation, can not play any role, the formation must be strong, but also save resources, with defense and attack two kinds of ability, really difficult to him.
Searching through his memories, he found several powerful formations and combined them to create a new one, which would take some time.
"You're the one, the name is the Surprising Waves Earth Elemental Formation! It combines the essence of both the Surprising Waves and Earth Destruction formations, it doesn't require a lot of resources, and with the natural geography of this place, it's not too difficult to set up."
After spending more than an hour, a brand new set of formations was blended together, and synthesizing the surrounding terrain, this set of formations was the most suitable.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, a large number of guards were patrolling the campsite, with open guards and dark sentries all over the place.
"I heard that on the waste aunt's wedding night, she was beaten out by the young lady, and ran off to visit a green house, and her animalistic behavior led to the entire green house collapsing, and she almost didn't get crushed to death."
Three patrolling guards, who happened to be walking not far in front of Liu Wu Xie's door, talked as they walked, and piercing taunts came in.
"This punk's life is really big, he didn't die even after that."
The tone was as sarcastic as it could be, Liu Wu Xie was so unbearable in the eyes of the Xu family guards.
"Miss so beautiful person, God is really blind, by this waste to arch, with the talent of the miss, into the Imperial Academy, from then on a step to heaven, the Xu family status will also skyrocket, we guards, in the future there is a great opportunity to make a name for ourselves."
The voice is getting weaker and weaker, walking past Liu Wu Xie's door, the night, restoring calm.
A large group of people, quietly approaching from a distance, stayed a hundred meters away from the mining vein camp.
"Head, this is the land of the Xu family's mineral vein, there is only one entrance, how do we attack in."
There were more than a hundred people, and there was even the aura of the Spirit Cleansing Realm, the Xu Family Mining Vein was in danger.
Lying in the grass, the Xu family patrol guards couldn't discover this side, tonight was another moonless night, some light would occasionally come out from the camp.
Deep in the camp, a large number of snoring sounds came out, those miners were busy all day, after eating, they went to bed early.
"Go get the leaders of the Tian and Wan Clans here, let's discuss our countermeasures."
The leader commanded a sentence, a man in black quickly walked back, soon led over two old men, Tian family and Wan family elders, peak innate realm, this time, in order to take the Xu family's vein, the two families had put down blood money.
"Wolf Tooth Leader, you're looking for us?"
Tian Qihong asked in a low voice, if outsiders were present, hearing the words Wolf Tooth, they would definitely wet their pants.
In addition to the four great families in Canglan City, there was another force, and that was the Wolf Tooth mercenary group, they did all kinds of business, killing and setting fires, they did everything.
As long as you are willing to pay the gold coins, the things that can't be seen in the light, they do it for you.
What's even more scary is that Wolf's Tooth is a person, I heard that he grew up with a pack of wild wolves, drinking wolf's milk and growing up, he is vicious and cruel, and likes to drink human blood, in general, they don't want to mess with the four big families, so we are all safe and sound.
Most of the time, they traveled through the Sunset Mountain Range, hunting and killing demonic beasts for sale, earning gold coins, or helping to transport caravans for large amounts of pay.
When the number of people in the mercenary group was at its highest, it expanded to three hundred people, and Wolf Tooth himself, even reached the fifth level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm.
