Chapter 97 The Nouveau Riche Under the Moon
Under the vast and boundless starry sky.
The Moonlit Merchant Guild spent a day reaching the border between Narik Province and Garo Province.
More than two hundred horse-drawn carriages formed a long procession and were heading to a plain at the border.
A gentle evening breeze rustled through the tall grass, creating a serene atmosphere.
But at that moment, a slight tremor in the ground broke the tranquility.
As time went on, the tremors from the ground became increasingly intense.
Lin Xin and the others inside the carriage opened their eyes the moment they felt the tremor.
Their expressions were tense, and they all turned to look in Lin Feng's direction.
However, Cai'er and Lin Feng remained unmoved.
The group looked at each other, recalling what Lin Feng had said earlier, and closed their eyes once again.
They were willing to believe what Lin Feng said, after all, Lin Feng was a man who had faced the Demon Emperor head-on.
Even if the Demon Emperor himself were to come, he would have to think twice before taking action.
The group acted as if nothing had happened, while Han Yu drove his carriage and blended into the caravan.
Meanwhile, on Yueye Lengxiao's side...
The moment they noticed the ground trembling, both of them couldn't help but frown slightly.
They were all too familiar with this tremor.
This is the tremor caused by the demon army as they assemble and run forward.
Such a large-scale tremor must have involved at least 20,000 demons!
This would be a catastrophic disaster for a convoy of 500 people!
"Sister Yue!" Leng Xiao subconsciously looked at Yue Ye.
"Don't panic, it might not be targeting us. It could be a large demon army that's gathered to attack the southeastern fortress—"
As Yueye said this, she was also a little unsure, after all, this place was hundreds of kilometers away from the southeast fortress.
As she spoke, Yueye also took out three small flags from her spatial ring.
He then led Leng Xiao to the top of the carriage.
As the moon waved its small flag, the convoy, which had been moving at high speed, all stopped.
With another wave of the hand, more than two hundred carriages began to move in unison, and in less than ten minutes, all the carriages formed a circle.
The convoy formed a barrier, protecting the important goods and people.
Just as Yueye was directing the convoy to form a defense, tens of thousands of demons gathered into a black sea, surrounding Yueye Merchant Guild from all sides.
Moonlight swept her gaze around, her expression turning grim; the number of demons had reached a staggering fifty thousand.
Such a scale is enough to flatten a human town.
And now, all they're doing is blocking her caravan!
The demon army did not stop its advance, and a cold glint flashed in Yueye's eyes.
With flags waving in their hands, more than two hundred horse-drawn carriages suddenly emitted the sound of mechanical gears meshing.
Arrows, gleaming coldly in the moonlight, appeared on the side of the carriage.
Almost every carriage has over a hundred arrows on its side.
Inside the carriage, Lin Xin stared wide-eyed at the arrows gleaming coldly on the carriage, exclaiming, "Good heavens, these are all Spirit Demon level weapons!"
"The Moonlit Chamber of Commerce is far too wealthy and powerful!"
"7
"The value of these arrows alone is unimaginable!"
At that moment, the demon army had already pressed into the range of the crossbow bolts.
The convoy was only a kilometer away!
The tremors of the ground and the roars echoed across the plains.
The violent tremors caused even the carriage to bounce slightly.
500 meters —
Four hundred meters —
Three hundred meters —
Until the demon army was no more than a hundred meters away from the convoy.
"put!"
The moonlit night finally stirred, and with the cold word "release" uttered, the flag held high in his hand was suddenly swung down.
Twenty thousand crossbow bolts, like dragons emerging from the sea, carrying a terrifying and murderous aura, dragged more than twenty thousand long silver tails, piercing through all the demons within a thousand-meter radius in an instant, like a narrow slit in the sky!
In an instant, blood stained the entire grassland red.
As for the corpses, they were devoured almost instantly by the hungry demons who pounced on them.
Even though Chen Ying'er and the others had already experienced the battle of Exorcism Pass, Chen Ying'er couldn't help but feel nauseous upon seeing the scene before her.
Even Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin were deathly pale.
Lin Feng, who had kept his eyes closed, slowly spoke, "You'll get used to it. You'll adapt in time."
"Forget it, I don't want to get used to it yet—" Lin Xin covered her mouth and drew the curtains.
After a long pause, he couldn't help but ask again, "Guild Leader, are we really not going to help the Moonlit Merchant Guild?"
"Even if the Moonlit Merchant Guild is wealthy and powerful, it will likely face certain death if it doesn't have outside help when facing an army of over 50,000 demons."
"I've observed them roughly; the strongest member of the entire Moonlit Merchant Guild is only at the peak of the fifth rank—"
As soon as Lin Xin said this, Wang Yuanyuan and the others also looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced outside, shook his head, and said, "Not for now."
"Okay—" Lin Xin said.
at the same time.
After the first wave of demons was cleared away and their corpses were devoured, another wave of demons charged fearlessly towards the convoy.
The Spirit Demon level crossbow bolts were limited, and after withstanding three waves of demon attacks and defeating nearly ten thousand demon cannon fodder, the bolts were exhausted!
"Sister Yue, if all else fails, I'll reveal my identity. Maybe then these demons will retreat—"
Hearing Leng Xiao's naive words, Yue Ye's eyes flashed with cold light as she said, "You're overthinking it. They know perfectly well that the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Moon Demon Clan, yet they still do this. Clearly, they're here to kill and rob."
"Once your identity is exposed, it will only strengthen their resolve to kill you and cover it up!"
"After all, robbing the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan is a price they can't afford."
Watching the demonic wave surge once again gather.
A faint smile flashed in Yueye's eyes as she spoke in a voice only she could hear: "My dear master, whether I can completely trust you depends on whether what you say is true."
Yes, Yueye also wanted to use this crisis to verify just how powerful Lin Feng's so-called imprint could be!
As she spoke, Moonlit Night waved her flag and gave the order. The fifth-tier Moon Demons deep within the core circle uniformly took out a scroll.
As spiritual energy was activated, a huge golden barrier instantly enveloped the entire caravan.
Lin Xin, who had just finished vomiting, saw the scene before him and his lips twitched as he said, "Is the Moonlit Chamber of Commerce really that powerful?"
This is a Tier 6 Holy Light Protection scroll worth 20,000 gold coins, and there are fifty scrolls in total, which is a million gold coins here!
"Including the previous three rounds of Spirit Demon-level crossbow bolts, the cost is at least three to four million gold coins!"
However, before Lin Xin could finish complaining, a sky full of red balls rained down!
Lin Xin couldn't help but swear, "WC!"
"Sixth-tier Fire Rain Technique!"
"Another million!"
