Chapter 284 The Attacking Li Family Caravan

In the dim night, the third-level advanced beast of the same level as Chang Xiao was like a king in the shadows, and its reputation was enough to strike fear into the hearts of countless low-level Gu Masters.

Although Chang Xiao's strength has declined, his attacks are still deadly. This is enough to prove that he, who came from the advance camp, is no ordinary person and should not be underestimated.

"The owner of this place is not a good person, but fortunately, I am not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied!"

There was unquestionable firmness in Chang Xiao's words. He gently stretched out his fingers, pointing towards the deep night.

Then, a golden light broke through the darkness. It was a third-level male bee Gu, which returned to his palm like a loyal guardian.

Liu Chengwu seemed to have sensed something. He glanced between the grassland and the mountain pass. He understood what was going on and smiled intentionally to intimidate those eyes that were secretly watching him.

Let those people know that following the Li family caravan would be the stupidest decision they have ever made.

The other members of the caravan were not as perceptive as those two. When they saw the blood of the third-level giant python flowing, there was only regret on their faces.

The blood of this giant python does not have a fishy smell, but instead emits an unexpected herbal fragrance.

Several experts with a keen sense of smell, after taking a few deep breaths of the rich blood, actually felt a warm current surging in their bodies, as if their muscles and bones were rejoicing in the essence of the blood.

This snake blood is obviously a priceless treasure. It can strengthen the body and is a great tonic.

Liu Chengwu didn't need to say much. Everyone skillfully took out the toad Gu, took out various exquisite bottles and jars from the toad Gu, waved their sharp Bailian knives, and began to bleed the prey.

In the eyes of Gu Masters, every part of snake beasts is a precious resource, and the efficacy and value of snake blood vary depending on where it flows.

As long as they are carefully classified, the snake blood can be sold at a sky-high price in any market where poison masters gather.

"Don't just focus on collecting snake blood, go save people!"

Seeing this, Liu Chengwu urged anxiously.

Although these subordinates he trained personally were of humble origins, they easily learned the good habits of greed, materialism, and not letting go of something until they saw the rabbit. Once they saw treasures that could be exchanged for Yuanshi, they would be unable to move away.

"Rescue?"

Several men looked hesitant; they were unwilling to carry along any burdens, especially foreigners.

But they did not dare to disobey, so they could only carefully break open the snake's belly and rescue a dozen grassland men and women with purple faces.

"It looks like he's just unconscious. This is a blessing in disguise." The few of them were already accustomed to this kind of scene. In this world where ferocious beasts are rampant, they have witnessed too many human tragedies.

"A four-meter-long python can swallow an adult in one bite. This place is close to the snow-capped mountains and valleys, so we must be more careful." A member reminded that as they went deeper into the grassland, the aura of the wilderness became stronger and they might encounter higher-level ferocious beasts.

"What on earth happened on the grassland? The strongest of these people is only a second-level Gu Master, and they don't even have a decent Gu worm. Why would they risk crossing the former Chu State official road?"

"Maybe the living environment is too harsh. There's nothing but snow and grass. It's hot during the day and cold at night. We also have to be on guard against ferocious beasts. If you stay in this environment for a long time, you'll go crazy!"

While everyone was talking, one or two men and women from the grassland were suddenly awakened. Their chests heaved violently and they looked at the members of the Yan caravan in horror.

"I seem to have seen this emblem before."

Chang Xiao was always smiling in the past, but he was full of awe for life and always maintained a serious and rational image, so he discovered some details.

He noticed a tattoo on the face of a rescued prairie woman, which was the emblem of a powerful family, which he had been impressed by during the supply mission.

"What do you mean? Is this woman from Dayan?"

Liu Chengwu became even more disappointed after hearing this.

It’s totally unreasonable!

There are actually people from Yan pretending to be grassland people?

It seemed as if all his efforts tonight were in vain, and he was not even left with a chance to save the situation.

"Are you from Yan?" Chang Xiao's question instantly aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

A team member curiously walked up to the woman with tattoos on her face, carefully poured the water bag, washed away the dirt and mucus on her face, and gradually revealed a beautiful face full of exotic charm.

"This……"

Everyone was surprised to find that the woman's face was very different from the image of a Yan woman in their minds. She was not as soft and beautiful as expected, but instead had a distinct three-dimensional sense and an alluring coquettishness. They turned to look at Chang Xiao in confusion.

"The territory of Yan State is vast, and faces like this are not uncommon in the border areas. Just pay attention to the tattoo on her face to know her identity." Chang Xiao's answer was a little hasty.

In the State of Yan, tattooing a coat of arms on the face was usually done to declare ownership, but such behavior has been expressly prohibited by the empress.

In the State of Yan, large clans were not allowed to own private armies or keep slaves, so this kind of public marking was rare.

But on the grassland, the laws of Yan State were out of reach, which gave some big clans and families the possibility to act recklessly and do whatever they wanted.

However, compared to this barbaric and cruel behavior, the many messages behind it are more thought-provoking.

A beautiful grassland woman with a tattoo of the Yan State's emblem on her face?

Does this mean that this wealthy family had already established its own power on the grassland before the empress and the caravan?

So, is the other party an enemy or a friend? Will they set up obstacles ahead?

"Can you speak Yan language?"

The few of them exchanged glances and decided to put aside their prejudices and try to communicate with this grassland woman.

"Thank you for saving my life!" the woman replied gratefully, then stood up with difficulty and tried to wake up other tribesmen.

She tore off the slime covering her tribesmen's faces and called out their names.

Unfortunately, among the dozen people, only she and a teenager survived. Most of the others died of suffocation, and several had their bones crushed by the giant python.

"Manager Liu, I suggest that we send someone to send this woman away immediately. Whether we hand her over to the Northern Frontier Army or send her back to the grassland, this will benefit us all."

Chang Xiao believed that it was not appropriate to let this woman show up in the camp, so as not to shake the confidence of other caravans and families, and might even lead them to contact the major forces that had already taken root in the grassland, thus damaging the interests of everyone.

"What? You want me to send her back to the grassland?"

Liu Chengwu rolled his eyes and looked a little displeased.

He is Li Changsheng's subordinate, a benevolent gentleman, and a member of the Li family who values ​​reputation. How could he do such a thing that would put someone to death?

"This..." Chang Xiao was confused. Liu Chengwu's behavior was hard for him to understand.

"This woman's story must be made public, and it must be publicized with great fanfare! I want all the people of Yan to know that our journey to the grassland is a just redemption, to save those poor people who are in dire straits!"

Liu Chengwu's words were passionate, which was very different from his usual materialistic image, and it seemed that there was another hidden story.
