After all, Shrek City is a city with a population of five million, and because Shrek City is located in the center of the three major empires, its commerce is extremely developed.
The caravans here are extremely mobile. Unless something big happens, such as the Body Sect attacking Shrek Academy, it would be very difficult to make everyone in Shrek City know about it.
This caravan was transporting a lot of goods, enough for ten large carts.
In order to protect these goods, the caravan also invested a lot of money.
In addition to Jiang Ming, there were five Soul Masters and a Soul King who had not revealed his cultivation level in the caravan. There were more than a dozen Soul Masters like Soul Venerable!
This lineup is actually very strong, and it is already very powerful for the escort force of a caravan.
This is also because this is Shrek City, where the density of soul masters is much higher than other cities on the continent. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to gather such a force!
Jiang Ming did not choose to ride a horse like other soul masters, but sat in a carriage and took out a book to read.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to ride a horse. When he first came to Shrek Academy, he rode a horse for some reason.
It's just that my attention will be a little distracted when riding a horse, after all, I need to concentrate on controlling the direction of the horse.
It would be great if you could use the time you spend on the road to read a book.
This was actually nothing, but what a coincidence that the carriage Jiang Ming was sitting in was very close to the leader of the caravan, the woman named Lu Yue.
"Tsk, this guy is so pretentious! He even went out of his way to pretend to be a scholar in front of the young lady!"
A soul master with the cultivation level of Soul Venerable couldn't help but complain.
He is the long-term guard of the Lu family caravan, and has feelings for Lu Yue, the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
"Yes, you have a horse but don't ride it, you take a carriage instead, and you even pretend to read in front of the young lady, how hypocritical!"
Another long-time guard echoed.
Although the two were whispering, their voices were very low.
They knew that Jiang Ming's cultivation was that of Soul Sect, so even if they were unhappy, they could only complain quietly behind his back.
Others looked at Jiang Ming's abrupt behavior, some were curious, and some frowned.
Among them, Lu Yue was the curious one.
At first, Lu Yue also felt that Jiang Ming was deliberately trying to get her attention, whether it was his indifference to the commission when he first came over, or his unusual behavior of reading in the carriage near her, all of which were to attract her attention.
After all, although her family was not a top family, her father was also a Soul Saint! She herself was also a top student who graduated from the External Academy of Shrek Academy, and she also had the hope of reaching the Soul Saint level!
For an ordinary soul master, if he could rely on her family, the benefits would be enormous.
But after observing Jiang Ming for a few seconds, Lu Yue felt that she was overthinking.
Because... Jiang Ming reads really seriously!
The convoy was more than ten kilometers away from Shrek. Jiang Ming kept his head down and flipped through the pages of a book. His concentration did not seem fake.
Jiang Ming was sitting in the carriage and didn't notice any of this.
Ever since his teacher gave the solution and he himself came up with two solutions, he has not read any books on martial spirits again.
If these methods are useless, then reading more books on martial spirits will be of no use.
On the other hand, he can continue to improve his soul guide.
When the soul guide production line was first developed, his soul guide level had actually reached level six.
Such a long time has passed, and although he is not as focused on learning soul guides as before, he is also steadily accumulating experience.
During this year, even if he cannot break through the bottleneck of level 70, he can at least break through to level 7 soul engineer!
The dozens of kilometers around Shrek City are very safe. With Shrek Academy here, no one would dare to rob a caravan here. That would be courting death!
But outside of Shrek City, it’s hard to say.
In this world where communications are underdeveloped, gangs of bandits and robbers cannot be wiped out even if the major empires repeatedly send troops to encircle and suppress them.
"The foggy forest is ahead, everyone be alert!"
Lu Yue was riding in the front on horseback. When they were about to enter a forest, she waved her hand to alert the guards in the convoy.
When the guards heard Lu Yue's voice, they immediately became alert.
Jiang Ming, who was in the carriage, seemed not to hear anything and continued flipping through the book in his hand.
"Hey, stop looking, there may be bandits ahead! Be alert!"
Lu Yue frowned.
Jiang Ming shifted his gaze from the book in his hand and pointed indifferently into the misty forest.
"Bandits? You mean...the people over there?"
Chapter 148: Take action and recreate the ultimate killer weapon!
When Lu Yue heard Jiang Ming's words, she was stunned at first, and then looked in the direction where Jiang Ming's finger was pointing.
The branches and leaves of the trees were hidden in the light mist, and it looked very blurry, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
"You...you can see someone in there?!"
Lu Yue frowned and looked at Jiang Ming seriously.
The other guards were also attracted by the conversation between Jiang Ming and Lu Yue.
Especially the other Soul Sect members in the caravan, they all frowned almost at the same time.
They all had the same Soul Sect cultivation level, but they couldn't detect anyone in the misty forest ahead.
"No, I can't see it. What I can see is the same as you."
Jiang Ming slowly put away the soul guide book in his hand and stretched.
I read for more than an hour. It was an advanced book for seventh-level soul masters, which was a big test for my brain power.
"Then how do you know there's someone in there? I can't see anyone in there!"
Lu Yue frowned even deeper. If this guy was playing tricks, she would expel Jiang Ming from the caravan even if it meant offending the Soul Master.
"Humph, so it turns out you are just playing tricks!"
Another Soul Sect member in the team snorted coldly, with a gleam of extreme disdain in his eyes.
He hates these kinds of people who act mysterious the most. They don't have much ability but just love to show off!
Jiang Ming ignored the ridicule of the Soul Sect, just glanced at Lu Yue and said softly:
"Sometimes, there are limits to what you can see with your eyes. If you want to know more, you have to rely on this."
As he spoke, Jiang Ming stretched out a finger and tapped his head.
When Lu Yue heard this, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on her face and she glared at Jiang Ming.
"You said I have no brains?!"
Jiang Ming was stunned. What was going on in this woman's train of thought?
When did he say she had no brains?
"Who said you have no brains? I'm talking about mental strength!"
Jiang Ming was speechless.
"My mental power is stronger than yours, so I can sense more than you. Look, there are about twenty people squatting there. They should be the gangsters you mentioned."
As he spoke, Jiang Ming raised his chin and pointed out the location of the bandits to Lu Yue.
Hearing this, all the guards looked towards the location Jiang Ming pointed to.
Although it was hard to believe, Jiang Ming's tone of voice was so confident that it really didn't sound fake.
"I believe you once!"
Lu Yue's eyes narrowed and she turned to look in the direction Jiang Ming pointed.
The next moment, four soul rings, two yellow and two purple, rose up under Lu Yue's feet, and a longbow like an ice crystal appeared in his hand.
This is her martial soul, the Ice Crystal Bow!
He held the longbow horizontally, stretched out his hand to gather his soul power, and an arrow appeared. He shot it into the misty forest without any delay.
At this moment, the bandits who were lying in ambush at the entrance of the Misty Forest saw an arrow shot towards them and instantly realized that they had been exposed.
"Get out of the way!"
The bandit leader shouted in a deep voice, and five soul rings, two yellow and three purple, flashed on his body. A ring-handled broadsword appeared in his hand, and he swung the sword to easily knock away the arrow that was emitting an icy breath.
After knocking down the icy arrow, the bandit leader took the twenty or so people behind him and blocked the entrance to the misty forest.
There were more than twenty bandits, their martial spirits were fully activated, and spirit rings of various colors were flashing.
Jiang Ming took a quick glance and found that these twenty-something people were all soul masters!
Their cultivation is not low, there is one Soul King, three Soul Masters, and the others are Soul Venerables and Great Soul Masters.
Seeing the opponent's lineup, Jiang Ming frowned slightly.
He was a little confused. It was ok for Soul Lords and Great Soul Masters, but how come even Soul Sect members and Soul Kings were bandits?
You know, a soul master with the cultivation level of Soul King is not weak no matter where he is. He won't become a bandit, right?
Moreover, Jiang Ming could also clearly sense that although the martial spirits of these bandits were varied, they did not have the aura of an evil soul master.
this...
"How did you find out?!"
As soon as the bandit leader came out, he looked directly at Lu Yue who was in the front and asked in a deep voice.
He thought that his ambush site was very hidden, and coupled with the special environment of the Misty Forest, even a Soul Emperor-level warrior might not be able to discover it.
"Guess what! Everyone, prepare to fight!"
Lu Yue did not answer the bandits’ questions. They were bandits who came to rob them. To answer their questions was crazy!
When the Soul Masters and Soul Sect members in the caravan heard the order, they instantly released their martial souls and used their soul power fluctuations to fight against the opponent.
The old butler who had been following Lu Yue moved slightly, but did not release his martial spirit immediately.
The other side also has a Soul King. Although they have the overall strength advantage, it is not easy to defeat the other side.
"Um...do you guys always have to confront each other like this before you fight?"
Jiang Ming blinked, not quite understanding.
When he was guarding the border in Qingshui City, there was never any such thing as a confrontation between two armies. Whether it was the soul beasts from the Far North or the army from the Sun Moon Empire, they would just fight each other when they met. Why would they confront each other?
If Jiang Ming had come by himself, he would definitely choose to strike first, rather than just staring at each other like this.
Since the other party has chosen to come out to block the way, it means that they will not give up. If we have to fight sooner or later, we might as well take the initiative.
"What do you know! Our mission is to protect the caravan. If we rush in and take action, will you be responsible if anything happens to the goods?!"
An experienced Soul Sect glared at Jiang Ming and shouted in a low voice.
How could these caravans not know the principle of striking first and gaining the upper hand? But they were not knights, and killing bandits was not their mission. Protecting the goods was the most important thing!
"Oh, that's how it is."
Jiang Ming immediately understood.
He made a mistake of empiricism. The approach he used in Qingshui City was not applicable here.
"Guess? When I put the knife to your neck, you will tell me! Come on!"
A fierce light flashed in the bandit leader's eyes, and the first and third soul rings on his body lit up at the same time, and he rushed directly towards Lu Yue.
The Soul King's oppressive feeling was still very strong, but Lu Yue was not panicked at all. His third soul ring flickered, and he drew his bow and arrow in one go, shooting towards the bandit leader's heart.
However, the third soul skill of the Soul Sect level is obviously not powerful enough compared to the opponent's Soul King who has the first and third soul skills.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming glanced at the old man beside Lu Yue and took out a long-lost soul guide from the storage soul guide.
This thing has six barrels, is about one meter long, and has a big butt at the back with a handle on it.
Soul guide Gatling!
It is very similar to the Soul Guide Gatling gun that Jiang Ming used when he fought against the senior students from the Foreign Affairs College a few years ago. However, the level of this thing is not very high.
