Chapter 132 - Wuthering Heights
As time passed, after passing four more copycats, the caravan gradually approached Wuthering Heights.
That night, all the caravans stood on a cliff and formed temporary camps, alerting the beasts.
"We have entered the Wuthering Heights area. The next journey is full of wild mountains and wilderness, full of insects and beasts, and there are not even villages. From tonight, everyone must be careful," the leader of the Jia family instructed.
Wuthering Heights does not have a villa, but a barren mountain and ridge. It is often called Wuthering Heights because of the strong wind.
The deputy leaders in the tent nodded, and there was no need to object.
A light flashed in Wuyouling's eyes, and he was getting closer and closer to his destination.
This business road is the most dangerous part. As long as you pass this part, you can reach Wulei Mountain. After passing a few more villages, it is Wuliang Mountain Homeless City.
There is also a tragic story circulating in Wuthering Heights, but this Wuthering Heights is obviously deserted, and I don’t know how these strange stories were circulated.
"Okay, let's arrange the defense position this week." The leader of the Jia family continued. As the caravan with the most cultivators, he has the right to lead.
Half an hour later, everyone finished their discussion and walked out of the tent.
Zhang Zhu went up to meet him: "Miss, the supper is ready. Are you still going to invite Heitu and Baiyun to have a meal today?"
"Of course." Wuyouling nodded, "I still want to ask him about his experience in conducting business at the banquet."
These days, Ling Yun always makes more money and loses less, constantly making business goods over and over, making five or six times the profit. The three insiders, Wuyouling, Zhang Zhu and Xiaodie, all treated them with admiration.
However, to outsiders, these are all the credits of Wu Youling.
According to the agreement, Ling Yun divided half of the gains and handed over to Wuyouling. But in Wuyouling's heart, how could a mere spiritual stone compare to Ling Yun's experience and insights in doing business?
She has no qualifications to practice and is just a mortal, so doing business is her proudest ability and cannot be trampled on.
However, in this area where she is proud of, Ling Yun's strength has made Wu Youling admit that she is not as good as Ling Yun!
Many seemingly absurd decisions showed amazing results in subsequent transactions.
Wuyouling is not a self-deprecating person. After understanding the gap between himself and Ling Yun, he would invite Ling Yun every day.
And Ling Yun’s few tips can benefit her a lot.
She has excellent talent in business, and now she absorbs water like a sponge and grows rapidly. The more she communicates with Ling Yun, the more she admires him and wants to learn more.
"Oh, Miss, you have to be careful. These two people obviously have stories, they are not ordinary people." Zhang Zhu sighed, with a look of worry in his eyes. He was afraid that Wuyouling would fall deeper and deeper.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang Zhu, I'm a good person." Wuyou Ling Huizhilan was quick-witted. She never talked about other aspects with Ling Yun, and was limited to doing business. She said it as soon as possible, and would not indirectly.
Judging from the first time she could get rewards by not asking the two of them secrets, she was not a stupid person.
She felt that although Ling Yun and Su Nuan were mysterious, as long as they did not touch the deep secrets, it would not be dangerous.
Lingyun relies on formal means to do business, and never misses the debt. Every time he makes money, he will share the money with Wuyouling. Such behavior invisibly brings Wuyouling more sense of security.
However, Ling Yun did not choose to accept this banquet tonight.
"I feel a little tired today, so I won't go." He waved his hand and said to Xiaodie who came to invite him specially.
and
Ling Yun nodded every time he was a banquet by Wu Youling. Of the three banquets, Ling Yun often only went once.
Xiaodie curled her lips, gave Ling Yun a complaint, muttered a few words, and had to leave.
Ling Yun refused before, but Xiaodie was still making noises several times and was resentful for the lady. However, as Ling Yun made more and more money, Xiaodie's attitude also changed, from being resentful to being contentment and helpless.
No matter which world or level, people with strength will be respected.
Ling Yun closed the tent, and Su Nuan was already sitting cross-legged on one of the beds, waiting for Ling Yun's arrival.
In the darkness, her blue eyes shone with a slight light, watching Ling Yun walk over step by step.
Before, Ling Yun rejected Xiaodie, but she was a little surprised and puzzled. But a few times later, Su Nuan realized the beauty of this move.
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief. Ling Yun refuses the invitation and does not accommodate Wuyouling, but will make the girl feel that Ling Yun has nothing to ask for, and thinks that he has noble character, so she will trust him more.
"Let's start." Ling Yun also sat cross-legged on the bed with his back facing Su Nuan, not worried that Su Nuan would take the opportunity to take action.
Su Nuan put her hands on Ling Yun's back, and 10% of the water demon spiritual power was mobilized with her heart and poured into Ling Yun's body.
The bones and blood were reunited with blue and red lights. After its transformation, the six-point water magic power entered the cyclone of Lingyun.
Wow, a sound like a flowing water radiates in the mind.
Ling Yun sinks into his mind, concentrates himself, activates these spiritual powers and expands the four walls of the cyclone.
When he was a spiritual being, his cyclone could not withstand such a large flushing force. But now he has reached the middle level of the Spiritual Man, and the surrounding cyclone is profound and can face the continuous flushing of the water demon spiritual power.
But the duration cannot be too long, and every once in a while, you need to take a break.
The water light fluctuates on the orifice walls, constantly flowing. The white light continues to increase, and there are signs of solidification and condensation in some places. Obviously, Lingyun is already a short shot from the higher level of Lingzhe.
Ling Yun has rich experience in practicing and knows it well. He plans to strike while the iron is hot and rush to the advanced level of the Spiritual Master tonight!
Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, it was already late at night.
Ao Woo-!
Suddenly, a cry of the Cang Wolf King came.
The screams broke the silence of the camp, and then, countless wolves roared one after another, responding to their king.
"Wolf attack, wolf attack!"
"Damn it, all of them get up, wolves attack the camp!!"
"There are so many wolves, countless!"
...
Many people screamed and roared, and the camp woke up in a short time, and then became boiling.
"Hey, listen to this momentum, it seems that the wolf pack is quite large." Su Nuan listened for a while and chuckled.
During her journey in business, she also encountered several impacts from herds of beasts. After experiencing this, she is not surprised now.
This place is not a mountain. There are not so many nightmares, so how could that cunning person come here?
"This is Wuthering Heights. Some people say that all the wolves in the Western Regions live here. When the moon is full, the wolves will look up at the full moon. The wolf roar can resound throughout the entire mountain, one after another, and continue. On the first night, I met the wolves, and my luck is a bit bad." Ling Yun opened his eyes slightly, and he used his mind and did not stop practicing in the cyclone.
"Oh." Su Nuan replied casually, she didn't have the ability to use her mind.
The sound outside gradually became noisy as time passed.
“
Damn, there are too many wolf."
"Doctor, where is the doctor?! My father was injured and he shed a lot of blood..."
"The defense line in the southeast has been broken, go and support it!"
The situation at this time was much more serious than Su Nuan had expected. After discovering the wolves, a gap was broken in a defense line in the camp, and the wolves broke into the camp.
"ah--!"
"Everyone, pick up your weapons and fight with these beasts!"
The screams of slaves, the sounds of fighting and shouts kept coming.
"Are we going out?" Su Nuan asked casually.
"What are you doing when you go out? What can you do? Don't forget your current identity." After a while, Ling Yun replied absent-mindedly.
"But the wolves have rushed over, and the goods you just bought will suffer losses." Su Nuan smiled, her words full of gloating.
"Then let's lose, there's not much anyway." Ling Yun closed his eyes again.
After a moment, the voice of the maid Xiaodie came from outside the tent: "Heizu, Heizu! Are you two here?"
"What's the matter?" Su Nuan said.
"Oh my God, you are really there? Such a big noise did not wake you two! Many wolves rushed into the camp. Although the scene was under control, what if there were one or two leaking fish? The lady asked me to call you over. With Lord Zhang Zhu's protection, it would be very safe there!" Xiaodie shouted.
"No need. Since you have already controlled the situation, don't disturb your lady. One or two wolves can handle it with my strength." Ling Yun said.
Xiaodie urged her a few words, but she was still rejected. Finally, she stamped her feet outside the tent with hatred: "I really don't know the good people's hearts. Don't blame me for not reminding you both. Humph!"
After leaving this sentence, she hurriedly left, and being able to find the two of them in this chaotic and noisy environment shows her sincerity.
The wolves continued to attack for a stick of incense before retreating.
This time the impact of the beast group caused the heaviest losses since the caravan was formed.
Three practitioners were killed in battle, more than a dozen were injured, countless slaves were killed and injured, and each of them suffered losses. Especially the Zhang family's goods, the most losses were lost.
These goods were borrowed by Ling Yun. After a preliminary estimate, Ling Yun lost nearly a thousand spirit stones in just one night.
After dawn, when counting the losses, he smiled bitterly, but he didn't care at all.
Because just last night, he was promoted to the advanced level of the Spiritual Master. It only took a few months, and this speed of practice made Su Nuan, one of the parties involved, secretly surprised.
A night of bleeding passed, and the morning light shone on the damaged camp.
In the dull atmosphere, everyone cleaned the battlefield, packed up their goods, and set off again with a deep feeling.
However, this wolf pack attack was just the beginning.
A few days later, they encountered another attack from the wolves.
The scale this time is even larger than the last time. However, the caravan is fully alert, and the losses are somewhat reduced compared to the last time.
Before the caravan could breathe, the caravan was attacked by a coyote pack three days later. The three beast kings, the nine-headed Thousand Beast King, killed a total of fifteen cultivators, one spirit master, of which the spirit master was killed by stones. In the end, the wolf pack retreated. They left a wolf corpse on the ground, leaving only a wounded Thousand Beast King, who led the remaining wolf to retreat.
This reminded Su Nuan of the time they encountered when they were in the mountains. It was not so easy at that time, and there were much more people dying than now.
