Chapter 36: Dangerous Night
The young man nodded quickly, with a sincere and pleading expression.

Liu Tianhe thought for a moment and said, "Then just follow the caravan. Don't move around recklessly. If you bump into anyone, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The young man looked delighted and thanked them repeatedly. He made a face at the guard next to him and followed Liu Tianhe into the caravan.

Surprisingly, Liu Tianhe did not test the younger generation's ability to identify herbs, which is unreasonable.

Following behind Liu Tianhe, Liu Xun smiled brightly. This Liu Tianhe was still as calculating as ever!
When the caravan set out to leave Weishan City, Liu Wu nodded to Liu Tianhe, indicating that there was nothing wrong with Liu Xun and there were no signs of training.

He didn't know that Liu Xun had drained his soul essence with the Wilderness Scripture. With the Taoist treasure covering it up, Liu Xun was just like an ordinary person who had never practiced cultivation.

Not long after, Liu Xun was called to Liu Tianhe.

Liu Xun had a smile on his face, thinking to himself, "As expected, he's here."

Liu Tianhe stroked the red jade ring in his hand and smiled kindly: "Your name is Liu Xun, right? Don't be nervous, I want to ask you something."

Liu Xun acted reserved, and nodded when he heard this: "You ask."

"How much do you know about your city lord?" There was a strange look hidden deep in Liu Tianhe's eyes.

Liu Tianhe did not consider Liu Xun's ability and directly accepted him into the caravan. His purpose was not to recruit him as a handyman, but to spy on Cao Anxiang's background.

Liu Xun snorted in his heart, this old fox actually wanted to test two people at once.

If he said he understood it very well, he would probably fall into Liu Tianhe's trap.

How can you, an ordinary person, fully understand the city lord of such a noble status?

If you say you don't understand, you will probably be kicked out of the caravan and left to fend for yourself.

Liu Xun knew when to stop, pretending to be confused, scratching his head and saying, "The city lord is in his mansion every day, and I rarely see him."

"but."

A "but" immediately aroused Liu Tianhe's interest.

Liu Xun is very good at keeping people in suspense.

He smiled naively and said, "Some time ago, a lot of big things happened in the city."

"The entire Ye family is dead. My goodness, the bodies covered a large area of ​​the ground, and the blood flowed like a river."

Seeing that Liu Tianhe was impatient, Liu Xun quickly talked about the main point: "It is said that it was the current city lord who arranged to kill all the Ye family members who previously ruled half of Weishan City."

Liu Tianhe frowned: "How do you know it was arranged by Cao Anxiang?"

Liu Xun slapped his head and said, "Hey, everyone is talking about this. I thought, what everyone said should not be much different, right?"

Liu Tianhe narrowed his eyes, this information was quite important.

Originally, the two families co-governed Weishan City, but Cao An, a killer from the countryside, slaughtered the entire Ye family and occupied Weishan City alone. This shows his methods, decisiveness and ruthlessness.

It seems that I have to be extremely careful when dealing with him in the future.

"By the way, what's going on in Dalong City?" Liu Tianhe continued to ask.

Liu Xun shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, then he looked around a few times with a sneaky look, and whispered mysteriously to Liu Tianhe: "Master Steward, we all guessed that it was City Lord Cao who led his men to pacify Dalong City!"

Liu Tianhe flicked his sleeves and glared at Liu Xun. This kid was talking nonsense and it seemed that he could not get any useful information from him.

Liu Tianhe knew how powerful Dalong City was, especially Lin Tianhao who was in the Transformation Realm, and the unparalleled armored warriors who could resist swords and weapons. How could it be destroyed just like that by Cao Anxiang!

Liu Tianhe glanced at Liu Xun who wanted to take credit, and impatiently sent him to the caravan to do chores.

The caravan had no shortage of people who could identify herbs, and they took Liu Xun in just to learn about Weishan City and Dalong City.

When we get to the Pig Village, we'll throw this kid into the village to fend for himself.

Trying to make a living in a caravan is not something a boastful boy like this can do.

The caravan, carrying the unsold goods, returned to the Pig Village along the shallow gravel road in the forest.

Because the goods were not sold, everyone in the caravan looked unhappy, without any of the anticipation and excitement they had when they came.

Liu Xun was busy among the mortals, being ordered around and doing a lot of dirty and tiring work. "You, I'm talking to you!" A bossy mortal pointed at Liu Xun with his hands on his hips, "New guy, come and help me take out these herbs and dry them!"

Someone nearby advised: "Ma San, please give others a chance. Why are you making things difficult for a newcomer?"

Ma Sanyi glared and said, "Am I making things difficult for him? If I don't train him to be more diligent now, won't he starve to death when he gets to the village?"

Liu Xun sneered, nodded, took the box of herbs, walked to a sunny place and started to spread them out.

No one noticed that some strange white bugs were crawling among the dead leaves on the ground nearby.

With Liu Wu, a warrior in the Transformation Realm, the caravan encountered almost no danger along the way.

At night, the caravan camped on the spot, which was quite far away from the Pig Village.

In the firelight, Liu Tianhe and Liu Wu were discussing what to do after returning. They planned to take a detour through other cities, but they heard a sudden commotion in the caravan.

Liu Wu shouted: "Enemy attack?"

A guard came running over and said, "Captain, the caravan was not attacked!"

"What are you fussing about?" Liu Wu had a violent temper and became furious.

"It's Ma San. I don't know what's wrong with that kid. He's yelling and screaming."

Liu Wu clenched his fist and walked to the rear camp, where he saw Ma San jumping around.

Ma San was horrified, and he fumbled around his body with his hands. When he saw Liu Wu, he shouted in fear, "Master Liu, save me!"

With the help of the firelight, the abnormality on Ma San's body appeared in front of everyone.

A long and thin thing was moving under his skin and had now reached his neck, giving people goose bumps.

The strange creature that looked like a bug quickly drilled onto Ma San's face. Ma San couldn't stop scratching his face. With his mouth wide open, he ran out madly in pain and itchiness, and no one could stop him at all.

Liu Wu wanted to take action, but gave up in a flash.

There are many strange and terrifying things in the wilderness, many of which even he cannot deal with.

The scene of Ma San running into the forest in panic and bugs crawling on his face is terrifying.

Liu Xun stood among the crowd, pretending to be terrified on his face, but he was confused in his heart.

Although he was prepared to punish Ma San secretly, Ma San's strange behavior was not caused by Liu Xun.

Liu Xun’s current means are not enough to destroy this horrific thing that can drill into people’s skin.

Liu Tianhe walked over with a gloomy face and said sternly: "Everyone, tie up your sleeves and trouser legs!"

He had just learned about Ma San's situation, and thinking that guy was in great danger, he warned others.

Everyone shuddered and did as they were told.

"rustle!"

There was a rubbing sound in the darkness, and many insects crawled out from the leaves and dead branches on the ground.

Under the light of the fire, everyone could see clearly.

Those are clearly a large number of maggots!
When the maggots see people, they swarm over them and in the blink of an eye they are crawling all over the body.

Those people let out miserable screams, and in a flash their flesh withered away, leaving only skin hanging on their bones, looking incredibly horrible.

Liu Wu roared angrily and transformed himself into a pack elephant. He curled his trunk and stomped hard on the strange maggots that were still crawling on the ground.

The huge pack elephant crushed countless maggots to death with one foot, and the ground was filled with juice and mucus.

However, this kick seemed to have disturbed a hornet's nest, and a large number of maggots flew out and stuck to the body of the elephant.

The originally gray-brown pack elephant turned white in an instant, as if covered with a layer of white cloth.

Liu Wu shouted with a hint of fear: "Run!"
