I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1983 Caravan
The spacious caravan assembly area in the God King City was filled with all kinds of goods and bags, and the beasts of burden would make low noises from time to time.

"Okay, everyone take a break first. The caravan will set off in another hour. This journey will not be easy, so everyone cheer up!" A middle-aged man shouted to everyone.

In the crowd, a tall young man took two steps forward and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother, what is the employer's name? We can have a general idea in advance."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he slapped his forehead and showed a slightly annoyed look on his face: "Look at my memory! The employer's name is Coffee, and she is a young beauty. Although she is young, she is very talented in painting and is also well-known in our Tianhuo Divine Region."

"Coffee painter? I heard that she offended some people because of a painting. Those people are not good people." The young man obviously heard of coffee, and his brows frowned slightly.

"So, everyone must pay attention this time. After completing this escort mission, each person will be rewarded with 300 divine coins," the middle-aged man said loudly.

With the encouragement of money, the guards were eager to get started, their morale high, and they began to check their weapons and equipment in preparation for the upcoming journey.

The caravan guys were also making the final preparations in a tense and orderly manner, tightening the reins of the pack animals and tidying up the bundles of cargo. A busy scene unfolded as the journey was about to begin.

In this caravan, a large, gorgeously decorated carriage stood out. Several people were sitting inside the carriage. At the moment, the atmosphere inside the carriage seemed a bit dull and depressing.

The fat man frowned slightly, his face full of depression, and said to Liu Jun beside him: "Brother Liu, no, Sister Liu, there is indeed nothing wrong with our dress this time, but the key is what should I do if I want to pee?"

Liu Jun rolled his eyes helplessly and said unhappily: "What can I do? Just hold it in! At least I have to leave the sphere of influence of those birdmen first."

Hearing Liu Jun's words, the other people in the car fell silent. Their current identities were friends of their employer, Coffee.

Coffee had never even met them in person, but Shopkeeper Qian Liu had already made arrangements in advance, so they accepted the task and followed the caravan.

"Let's go!" At this moment, the captain of the escort team gave a loud and powerful order from outside the car. Following this order, the entire caravan began to move.

The guards rode on their horses and lined up neatly on both sides of the caravan. The caravan's carriages slowly moved one after another, the wheels rolling, heading out of the God King City.

At this time, the lively atmosphere in the Divine King City gradually faded due to the end of the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony. The number of people on the streets gradually decreased, and the once bustling Central Avenue became a little deserted.

Not only their caravan, but many other caravans in the city also started their return journey.

As the caravan moved forward, the carriages made creaking sounds, and the guards kept observing their surroundings. Although the possibility of being attacked around the God King City was low, they were professionals and had to display their professional qualities.

The caravan had been walking for less than half an hour when it suddenly stopped, as if it had been stopped by someone.

The birdmen from Qianyu City were blocking the way in front of the caravan. The iconic wings behind these birdmen flashed with strange light, which was particularly dazzling in the sun.

"Everyone, get off the car and check!" shouted a leading four-winged messenger.

Liu Jun and his companions exchanged glances, and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. Then, they all got off the carriage.

Several messengers from both wings walked forward in neat steps, holding portraits. They looked sharp and carefully compared the portraits with everyone in the caravan. The lines of the characters in the portraits were very clear, as if they were looking for some important person. They checked them one by one, not missing any details, with focused and serious expressions.

After a careful comparison, the messengers found that there was no problem, so they waved their hands to signal for the vehicles to pass. The members of the caravan breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to get back on the vehicles and continue on their way.

On a boulder not far away, several Eden messengers stood, looking down at the caravan. One of them was actually a six-winged messenger, his wings spread out to be several feet long, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

"Oh my god, these noble ladies are too ugly. From my aesthetic point of view, they make me want to vomit." A four-winged messenger looked at Liu Jun and the others with a look of disgust on his face.

"It's indeed a bit ugly, but ugly in a unique way." The Six-Winged Prince just glanced at it lightly and then looked away, with the same look of disgust on his face.

The caravan continued to move forward slowly on the winding road. The sounds of horse hooves and wheels rolling were intertwined. Time passed slowly in this regular sound. After driving for more than two hours, the sun, which was originally hanging high in the sky, gradually sank to the west. The sky also darkened little by little until it was completely shrouded in night. The caravan finally stopped completely and prepared to rest here.

The journey was full of twists and turns. The caravan was intercepted and carefully inspected by the birdmen several times. The birdmen looked alert, circling around the caravan, scanning every person and every vehicle. Fortunately, Liu Jun and his team were very skilled in disguise. Whether it was the disguise of their appearance or the imitation of their behavior, they were perfect without any flaws. This is how they avoided the suspicion of the birdmen again and again and were not seen through. As night fell, the caravan began to arrange for rest. Several carriages carrying people moved slowly, approached each other, and finally formed a tight circle. And those carriages carrying goods carefully stuck to the carriages carrying people, forming a larger circle. Such a layout was obviously a defensive posture to guard against possible dangers.

"This group of people, are they really capable of attacking us in the middle of the night?" The fat man frowned, opened his mouth slightly, and muttered softly.

However, as if in response to his doubt, the moment he finished speaking, a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound suddenly rang out.

The sound came from far away, sharp and rapid, like the alarm bell of death. Then, countless arrows whistled down from the darkness like dense raindrops. Under the cover of the night, the arrows were looming, but with incomparable lethality, they shot straight at the caravan.

When Liu Jun heard the noise, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. A feeling of helplessness surged in his heart. He glared at the fat man fiercely, secretly blaming this guy for his bad mouth.

"Enemy attack!" The captain of the escort shouted angrily, his voice carrying far in the silent night sky. This shout, like a battle horn, instantly broke the tranquility of the night, and the entire caravan was thrown into chaos.

Fortunately, the guards of this caravan were not ordinary people, they were all veterans with rich experience. When they encountered this sudden attack, although they were panicked for a while at first, they quickly calmed down with their long-accumulated combat skills and instinctive reactions, and quickly and orderly engaged in the fierce battle.

When the first wave of arrows came, the caravan's carriages played a crucial role in blocking the attack. Most of the densely-packed arrows hit the sturdy carriages, greatly reducing the lethality of the arrows. Only a few unlucky people were unfortunately hit by stray arrows and suffered minor or serious injuries.

"What should we do? Should we go out and help?" The tiger-striped burly man looked at Liu Jun anxiously, his eyes revealing his enthusiasm for fighting.

"Wait a minute, our current attire isn't quite appropriate." Liu Jun frowned slightly and replied calmly.

At this moment, they were all dressed like noble ladies, with exquisite clothes and elegant accessories, and their every move showed the demeanor of noble ladies. If they rushed out to kill everyone at this critical moment, their carefully disguised identities would be exposed in an instant, which would inevitably bring unexpected troubles.

Just as they were talking, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", the second wave of arrows came like a rainstorm.

The arrows shot this time were obviously different from the previous ones, and seemed to be fired from a more powerful weapon such as a crossbow.

These arrows whistled through the night sky with a fierce momentum, and their penetrating power was extremely strong. Originally, they thought that there were freight wagons blocking the outside, and the carriage they were riding would be safe and sound, but they didn't expect that several arrows would penetrate through the layers of obstacles and shoot straight into Liu Jun's carriage.

You know, there are several freight carriages outside their carriage acting as barriers. The power of this second wave of arrow rain should not be underestimated.

"Let's go out and beat them! These guys are stabbing my butt!" The tiger-striped sturdy man had a ferocious look on his face, veins bulging on his forehead, and was trying hard to pull a crossbow arrow out of his butt. There was still a trace of blood on the arrowhead.

Fortunately, he had thick skin and the crossbow arrow only penetrated a little. If it were someone else, he would have collapsed to the ground in pain. But even so, this sudden arrow still made the tiger-striped man grimace in pain, and an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart.

"Wait a minute, these guards are not that simple." Just as the tiger-striped muscular man was about to rush out regardless of everything, a steady and low voice sounded. The speaker was Yao Guangxiao, the boss.

Yao Guangxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was like a torch, and he quietly observed every move around the carriage in the dark. Based on his many years of experience, these seemingly ordinary guards must have some unknown means.

Sure enough, the situation changed abruptly the next second. With a few sharp sounds of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", five or six flares shot up into the sky like meteors. In an instant, the entire sky was illuminated as bright as day, and the strong light exposed everything around. The enemies who were originally hiding in the darkness and approaching quietly were now nowhere to hide.

Then, several guards quickly took action. Holding powerful crossbows, they moved in unison and aimed steadily at the firing holes specially left around the carriage.

With a burst of "bang bang bang" crossbow arrows fired, dense crossbow arrows rained down on the enemy. Each crossbow arrow flew towards the target with great force.

Screams rang out all around. It was obvious that the enemy had suffered heavy losses in this round of attack. Many people were shot by crossbows, some fell to the ground struggling in pain, and some shouted in despair. The enemy formation that had been hiding in the dark was instantly in chaos.

"Release the demon dog!" The captain of the guard gave the order in a loud and majestic voice.

Then, a low roar came from several carriages. Then, huge demon dogs jumped out of the carriages like lightning. These demon dogs were as big as calves, and they exuded a terrifying aura. Their eyes flashed with fierce red light, and their mouths showed sharp fangs, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

As soon as the demon dogs appeared, they rushed towards the surrounding enemies like wild horses. They were agile and fast, and rushed into the enemy group in an instant. The demon dogs opened their bloody mouths and bit and pounced on the enemies. Wherever they went, the enemies screamed and fell down. The enemies tried to resist, but they were vulnerable under the powerful strength and fierce attacks of the demon dogs. The whole scene fell into chaos and blood.
