People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

"what sound?"

Lao Li raised his head alertly and looked around at the dark scene in the mountains.

Beside him, a middle-aged man with plump hooves used a flat pole as a walking stick to support himself on the ground, and looked around with Lao Li.

The man's wheat-colored skin silently proved his years of experience in outdoor labor. A coarse linen shirt and a hemp rope tied around his waist constituted all the belongings of the man as a porter.

"Master Shang, I think that sound is like a woman's scream."

Lao Li didn't dare to make a decision rashly, and looked for help at the paid guide beside him: "Master Shang, judging from your experience, is it true that someone had an accident while walking on the mountain road at night, or is it a monster in the mountain that is trying to lure us over?"

Master Shang retracted his gaze, his tough face calm and composed:

"I have been in this mountain for nearly ten years and have never seen any so-called monsters."

After explaining the situation, Master Shang stopped talking and just waited silently for the decision of the customer, Lao Li.

"Are you sure?" Lao Li seemed hesitant. "Shangshu has been in turmoil recently. Things that you and I have never seen before are popping up one after another."

Master Shang picked up his shoulder pole expressionlessly and said calmly:

"I am only responsible for answering your questions. As for whether you continue to complete the mission you mentioned or go to rescue people, I have no right to comment."

"…No, let's save people first."

Lao Li hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't just sit there and watch the scream.

After hearing this answer, Master Shang's expression finally showed a slight fluctuation, and his tough face calmed down a little.

"Then, Mr. Li, follow me and watch your step."

Master Shang turned back with the carrying pole and walked down the mountain the way the two had come. He warned them carefully: "Be careful when walking in the mountains. It's easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down. Going down the mountain may seem to save effort, but it's actually very easy to get into danger, especially at night."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lao Li hurriedly agreed and followed Master Shang obediently.

The two men walked one in front and one behind. Master Shang took special care to slow down Lao Li's pace, and even carefully used a carrying pole to sweep away the stones on the plank road to avoid any possibility of accidents for Lao Li.

However, the two of them had not walked far when they heard an argument coming from the front at the same time.

"Why are there suddenly so many people walking at night in this mountain?" Master Shang was a little surprised.

He turned around and looked at Lao Li. They both stopped in tacit understanding and observed the situation ahead with bated breath.

In the quiet mountains at night, the sounds of the quarrel could still be heard clearly even from a distance.

"Dad, you heard the screams, why didn't you turn around to check? What if someone was in danger?"

"Ye'er! Listen! The terrain of Qujiang Peak is dangerous. There are few people even during the day, let alone in the middle of the night."

"There are few people here, but it doesn't mean there are absolutely no people. You and I both heard those two screams clearly. They were clearly women's voices."

"Is the mission that Master Qi has assigned to us more important, or is it more important to help two women whose identities are unknown?"

"Don't say he just gave me a mission. Even if he was here, I would still go and save him!"

"Ye'er! You don't even know who Master Qi is. We must not disobey..."

"That's enough! I need to go save someone!"

As Lao Li listened to the quarrel ahead, his expression gradually became strange.

He didn't expect that he would meet Du Yaoye and Zheng Qingyue here. Listening to their conversation, it was obvious that Zheng Qingyue had been recruited as a pawn by Qi Yan and was acting according to Qi Yan's plan.

Seeing that Zheng Qingyue was unable to defeat his daughter in the dispute, Lao Li reached out and patted Master Shang on the shoulder:

"Don't be nervous. The two people ahead are familiar to us. With this father and daughter here, we will have a better chance of saving people."

Master Shang didn't have any answer.

Lao Li could even feel Master Shang's shoulder muscles slowly tightening.

Lao Li:?

Before he could react, Master Shang had already taken a big step forward and rushed straight to where Zheng Qingyue and his daughter were.

Even in the pitch-black night, Master Shang's forward speed was not affected at all, and he rushed forward as if walking on flat ground.

……

……

In Shangshu City, a woman in a black nightgown looked alert.

She looked around and saw that no one was following her, so she picked up a chubby little animal at her feet, flipped over the wall in front of her, and nimbly came to the backyard of an inn.

The woman patted the sleeping beast in her arms and whispered, "Little Hat, I'm counting on you."

The sleeping beast rubbed its way twice in the woman's arms, found a comfortable position, raised its nose and spit out two transparent bubbles.

As the bubbles burst, a magical gas was emitted.

The people who were sleeping soundly in the inn began to snore louder, and those who were not asleep yet became dazed and began to feel drowsy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the woman walked forward to the corner of the inn, climbed up on tiptoe, came to the window of the room she had booked during the day, and jumped into the room.

"It seems that this mission went smoothly. We will go up the mountain tomorrow and take the goods out of Shangshu."

The woman threw the box in her arms on the table in the room, and without turning on the light, she prepared to go back to bed to rest in the dark.

"Cough cough."

An old voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Sorry, it's late at night, there's someone in the bed."

"Old man Bai?"

The woman named Yeban was startled and walked over to turn on the light switch next to the door.

The light filled the room again. Yehan looked at Master Bai Tian who was sitting on his bed with disdain and pointed at the box on the table:

"I've already got the stuff for you. I was planning on taking it away from Shangshu as agreed. But since you're here, you can handle it yourself."

Master Bai Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It can't be delivered. The two of us have worked in vain. In the end, we still have to send it back to Qi Yan.

But I don't dare to run over to see Qi Yan again, so why don't you go instead?"

midnight:"……"

You don't dare to go, but I do?

As a bounty hunter who has been roaming the wilderness for many years, Yeban has put more effort into intelligence processing than ordinary bounty hunters because of her experience with Master Bai Tian.

Qi Yan is now at the top of her list of people who must not be provoked.

Master Bai Tian saw Ye Ban's resistance and immediately showed an expression of "I am doing this for your own good" and taught him a lesson in a fatherly manner:

"Xiao Yeban, you have been in the wilderness for so long, you should know that this business is not a long-term solution."

"So I just ran over there and died?" Yeban raised the sleeping beast and pretended to smash it at Master Baitian.

Sleeping Beast:?

Master Bai Tian waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that you should find a stable job."

"You want to use Yan Country's system to seduce me?" Ye Ban was unmoved.

"No, I know you can't stand the rules and regulations of Yan Country." Master Bai Tian showed a foxy smile, "But I heard that Rhodes Island's treatment is very good, or Qi Yan's nursing home, I heard that the treatment is on par with Rhodes Island.

I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else, the Yan State Master is planning to live in Qi Yan's nursing home after retirement."
