Chapter 1479: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (Twenty-three)

The moon is very round tonight. The bright moonlight shines on the boundless wilderness, and the water in the distance is shimmering with spots of light.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Chen, holding a longbow, stood on the watchtower, like a solidified statue.

The entire camp was silent, and many people subconsciously held their breath.

唳～

Suddenly, a sharp cry of a night owl came from the depths of the woods not far away, irritating everyone's eardrums.

Again!

Everyone frowned subconsciously, feeling a strong sense of disgust in their hearts.

The same screaming had troubled them for several nights, and not even plugging their ears could completely solve it.

However, at this moment, Wang Chen on the watchtower moved.

He suddenly drew the bow and put a cold arrow on his left hand.

The next moment, the sharp arrow shot out, flew across a distance of hundreds of steps in an instant, and shot into the dark woods.

"what!"

The sudden shrill scream replaced the owl's cry, which boosted the spirits of everyone in the camp.

No one expected that Wang Chen could hit the target with one arrow from such a long distance.

"did you see it?"

An old soldier in the caravan guard said proudly to the new recruit next to him: "What is the invincible arrow? This is Mr. Wang's invincible arrow. It never misses its target and is invincible!"

His tone was full of pride: "When the bandits attacked, I was beside Mr. Wang and watched him shoot and kill hundreds of elite bandits. That scene...tsk tsk!"

While the veteran was praising Wang Chen, Wang Chen had already shot more than a dozen arrows in succession.

Arrows penetrated the woods, and screams rang out one after another!

The enemies hiding in the dense forest were scared out of their wits. They thought they were safe enough, but they never expected that Wang Chen seemed to have a pair of clairvoyance.

What's even more terrifying is his archery skills. The distance of several hundred steps seems to be non-existent. His arrows are as powerful as meteors and can kill people with one strike!

The other enemies fled deeper into the woods, while others hurriedly hid behind large trees.

At this time, Wang Chen put down the longbow in his hand, and suddenly jumped up, flying over the heads of the caravan like a roc with spread wings, and landed outside the camp.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he used the force to fly up again and instantly fell into the dark woods.

It is a rule of thumb in the martial arts world that one should not enter a forest, but this rule seemed to not exist at all for Wang Chen. He drew his sword the moment he entered the forest and shot forward like an arrow.

A thief just poked his head out from behind a tree trunk, and a cold light flashed before his eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, his body stood still, and then a bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows, and bright red blood gushed out.

Wang Chen fell to the ground, his feet stepping on the soft rotten leaves, his sharp eyes scanning the darkness.

call out!call out!call out!

Crossbow arrows shot from different places.

However, Wang Chen's figure had disappeared from the spot, and the cold sword light pierced the darkness again.

The sounds of "thump" and "thump" of falling to the ground continued.

"The idea is prickly!"

An exasperated voice suddenly sounded: "Retreat."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chen flashed in front of him like a ghost and swung the sword in his hand silently.

A head then flew up into the sky!

The other thieves hiding in the woods collapsed.

They had never encountered such a terrifying opponent before. They felt like weak chickens facing a tiger. The fear of death overwhelmed their bodies and they had no courage to fight.

If they ran away screaming and crying!

But Wang Chen hadn't even warmed up yet.

Inside the caravan camp, everyone was nervously staring at the woods not far away.

In fact, they couldn't see anything at all, everything inside was obscured by darkness and trees.

But the screams, wails and pleas for mercy that came one after another automatically made everyone automatically picture a tragic picture in their minds, and everyone's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a pair of invisible big hands.

It becomes difficult to breathe!

Until the screams gradually disappeared, half an incense stick of time passed, and a familiar figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Chen is back.

He walked out of the woods leisurely, as if he had just returned from an outing, with a long sword at his waist and a spotless body.

But in the eyes of a very few sensitive people, Wang Chen at this moment was shrouded in a strong bloody aura, as if he had just returned from hell!

They bowed their heads in awe.

"never mind."

Wang Chen, who returned to the camp, said calmly: "Rest early and have a good sleep."

Everyone in the caravan swallowed subconsciously and quickly returned to their positions.

The campsite was quiet tonight.

However, even though there were no thieves harassing them, many people still stayed awake all night and fell into a deep sleep only in the early hours of the morning.

This caused the caravan to be delayed on its journey the next day.

During the rest of the journey, Wang Chen's prestige in the caravan reached its peak. All his orders were carried out to the letter, and no one dared to disobey them in the slightest.

The bandits who had previously harassed the caravan seemed to be afraid of being killed, and they did not appear again when the caravan saw the city wall of Sanhe County.

Sanhe County is the first stop of the caravan. If you can buy enough food here, you can go home directly.

But this is the ideal situation and it is impossible to achieve in most cases.

Wang Chen asked the caravan to camp outside the city to prevent hundreds of guards from causing unrest in the county. He took his escorts and accountants with him and went into the city to look for grain merchants.

After some inquiries, everyone found that although the price of grain in Sanhe County had increased a little, it was still much cheaper than in Qing'an County.

The problem was that no rice shop could provide the amount of food the Qing'an caravan needed.

Even if it is acquired at a premium, it won’t work.

In desperation, Wang Chen could only buy as much as he could. He went to three rice shops in a row and purchased a large amount of stored grain.

After paying the full amount of silver, the stored grain was sent out of the city and loaded onto the caravan's trucks.

Then the caravan headed towards its second destination, Shangze County.

The caravan bought food as they went, and wandered around Yunze Prefecture for more than half a month. They finally gathered enough food and then set out on the journey back to Qing'an County.

But before leaving Yunze Prefecture, a tail appeared behind the caravan.

The situation this time was different from the last time. The enemy had no intention of concealing their intentions. They gathered in large numbers, their numbers rising from hundreds to thousands, and were still increasing.

It was as if all the bandits in Yunze Mansion had gathered together, wanting to join forces to swallow up the fat piece of meat that was the Qing'an Caravan!

Under such circumstances, Wang Chen decisively ordered to set up camp in a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Set up a defensive formation! ——

The second update is sent.
