"No, it's a wind beast!"
Hearing the roar of the beast in the distance, the face of the armored man changed slightly.
"Why did wind beasts appear as soon as we entered the Wild Wind Plains? Aren't they usually hiding deep in the plains?"
A middle-aged man next to the armored man also looked ugly.
The path they chose was carefully chosen.
According to the usual route, generally speaking, most wind beast lairs can be avoided.
But this time, why so quickly, a wind beast appeared nearby.
The armored man and others felt a little uneasy.
The unusual appearance of the wind beast made them feel that there might be some changes that they were not aware of in the windy plain.
But at this time, even if they wanted to return, it was already too late.
The speed of the convoy is slow. With the speed of the wind beast, it is only a piece of cake to catch up with them.
Seeing that the wind around them was getting stronger and stronger, the wind and sand were getting bigger and bigger, and it was almost impossible to see the situation ahead.
The armored man had no choice but to grit his teeth and sacrifice a lamp-shaped magic weapon.
The next moment, powerful power surged out from the magic weapon, and a light shield emitted, covering the entire convoy.
This light shield not only has strong defensive power, but can also disperse wind and sand.
The people who had been tossed about by the strong wind, as well as the carriage that was almost flipping over, suddenly stabilized.
"Attention, everyone, a wind beast is likely to attack later, so you must take precautions.
And don't leave the light range of my fixed wind lantern, otherwise, we won't take the risk to rescue you if you get lost!"
Because the wind was too loud, the armored man directly shouted through the soul transmission.
"This big man is responsible."
Lu Qing, who was sitting in the corner of the carriage, had a strange look in his eyes when he heard the words of the big man in armor.
Although the small caravans behind them all paid protection fees to the carriers.
But the current situation is obviously quite critical.
The armored man was able to use his magic weapon to protect everyone at the expense of his mana, which can be regarded as a very responsible person.
"However, the current situation is obviously not good."
Lu Qing felt it slightly and shook his head slightly in his heart.
His cultivation is much more beneficial than anyone else here.
Have long been aware of what is going on ahead.
"This little friend, did you find anything wrong?"
At this time, a voice sounded beside Lu Qing.
Lu Qing paused for a moment and said to himself, "Old fox, you really can't relax at all."
Seeing other people in the carriage, they all looked over.
Lu Qing showed an embarrassed look: "I'm joking, I'm just worried. The strong wind in the Gale Continent is really strong. I don't know if we can get out smoothly."
"It turns out that my friend is worried about this." Mr. Qiao smiled and said, "My friend, you can rest assured. The shipping company often crosses this windy plain and has rich experience.
Otherwise, these small caravans would not be willing to deliver large amounts of spiritual stones and ask them to lead the way." There is nothing to be afraid of!
If you are afraid, I advise you to turn around and go back as soon as possible before we go all the way in! "
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I passed through this windy plain last time with the carrier, and it was peaceful and nothing happened."
At this time, a woman in red also smiled.
“So that’s the case, I’m relieved.” Lu Qing said with some embarrassment.
"Since this shipping company can always do business in the windy plains, it is naturally very good. You don't have to worry..."
However, before the woman in red could finish her words, the next moment, a scream interrupted her.
The scream was very shrill, as if something extremely terrible had happened.
Immediately afterwards, a panicked cry came from outside.
"What happened?"
The people in the carriage were startled and jumped out one after another.
As soon as they came outside, they saw a surprising scene.
In the convoy at the rear, I saw a guard from a small caravan with a great level of foundation-building cultivation.
Him was being bitten by a certain monster. The lower half of his body had disappeared, leaving only the upper half of his body still in the monster's mouth, struggling desperately and screaming.
His location is already outside the scope of the light.
The guard kept screaming, but no matter how hard he struggled, it was of no use at all. His cultivation in the Foundation Establishment realm was useless.
In the blink of an eye, he was swallowed by the monster, and his screams stopped abruptly.
At this moment, a spear flew over and pierced the monster's forehead.
I only heard the monster scream, but it turned into a whirlwind of yellow sand and fled away.
Only the magic weapon spear was left in place.
"It's the wind beast!"
Old man Qiao looked solemn when he saw this scene.
He felt that there was always something wrong with this trip, and now it really came true.
As for the woman in red, her expression was even more ugly.
She had just said that it was very safe to follow the carrier, but in the blink of an eye, someone died tragically in the mouth of the wind beast.
This is clearly a slap in her face.
"Is this the wind beast?" Lu Qing's heart moved.
Although the monster just swallowed living creatures, it could turn into wind and sand and escape.
And it seems to be able to blend in with the surrounding strong wind, hiding its own breath.
This is also the reason why the Jindan realm people in the carriage just now did not sense its appearance in advance.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to leave the area covered by the magic lantern?"
A big man in armor rode a scaled horse and ran from the front of the convoy.
The spear magic weapon on the ground suddenly flew up and fell into his hand.
It turned out that he was the one who drove away the monster just now.
“No, it’s not that we left the area covered by the magic lantern, it’s that the monster suddenly rushed in and took Old Wu away!”
At this time, a middle-aged man stammered in reply.
"How is it possible?" The big man in armor couldn't believe it. "If you want to break through the protective light of my Dingfeng Lantern, you must have at least a level of cultivation above the Golden Core level.
It wasn’t long after we entered the Gale Wind Plains, how could a golden elixir-level wind beast appear so quickly? "
"I, what I said is true, so many people just saw it with their own eyes!"
The middle-aged man continued.
The armored man saw the expressions on everyone's faces and immediately knew that what the middle-aged man said was true.
Just like this, his heart sank again.
What happened today is too unusual.
Not only did the wind beast appear on the edge of the Gale Wind Plains so quickly, but it was also at the Golden Core level.
In the past, wind beasts of this level would only stay in a few specific areas deep in the Gale Plains and rarely go out.
Is it possible that something happened inside the Gale Wind Plains?
The more the armored man thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
After struggling for a while, he gritted his teeth for the last time, and shouted loudly through the voice transmission of his soul:
"I'm afraid something has happened in the Gale Wind Plains, and it is no longer suitable to go forward. Turn around, we will rush back immediately, and retreat to the valley first!"
However, as soon as he said these words, the small caravan behind him made an uproar.
"Send it back? Are you kidding me? I made an agreement with the funder that the goods must be delivered to him in five days!"
"This batch of elixirs in my hand must be sent to the Danxin Sect within seven days!"
"Yes, we are the ones who handed over the spiritual stones, how can we just return them just because we have returned them?"
"If the transaction is delayed and the spirit stones are lost, will your carrier compensate us for the lost spirit stones?"
"Those who handed over the spirit stones, you promised to take us out of the windy plains!"
"Isn't it said that the carrier's reputation is the most important, and you went back on your promise!"
Many of the leaders of the small caravans were excited.
Some of their goods need to be delivered to customers urgently.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked walking on this windy plain.
As a result, now that the spirit stone was handed over, the armored man said that he wanted to go back, how could they be willing to do so.
If the delivery time is delayed, according to the contract, they will have to pay compensation!
Of course, there were some caravans who were not so pressed for time and did not object.
The terror of the monster just now really scared them.
This windy plain is so dangerous, it would be good if we could get out of it.
"Shut up!"
Hearing that these small caravans actually dared to complain, the armored man looked sharply and immediately shouted.
The shock of the power of the soul caused the heads of those shouting small caravans to all turn pale.
Those with weaker cultivation even vomited blood and were seriously injured.
"You guys know your status!"
The armored man faced the frightened eyes of the small caravans with a stern look on his face.
"You are the ones who begged us to take you on this road.
I said before setting off that you need to listen to me in everything.
Since you are not willing to go back, then go forward on your own!
Don't blame me for not reminding you after you die in this windy plain!
This is the spirit stone you handed over, take it immediately and get out! 」
After that, the armored man threw out seven or eight cloth bags and landed in front of the small caravans who had made the most noise earlier.
Him himself turned around and headed towards the front of the convoy, preparing to send his people back to the valley.
"Sir, sir, we have no intention of offending, but please give us a chance..."
Seeing that the armored man was really gone, one of the leaders of the small caravan suddenly became anxious and shouted quickly.
However, before he had time to catch up, suddenly, the swirling wind and sand surrounding him suddenly gathered together.
Transformed into a huge monster, then thrust out its claws and directly broke through the defense of the lantern.
Grab the shouting leader of the small caravan and several people around him and drag them out.
This sudden change suddenly startled everyone.
"I'm waiting for you!"
Seeing that those people were about to be captured by the monster, the armored man who was about to walk away suddenly turned around and took out his magic spear.
The next moment, the treasure light bloomed, and the powerful power of the magic weapon burst out.
The monster's arm was immediately pierced by the spear magic weapon, half of the arm exploded, and the sky was filled with wind and sand.
However, the monster seemed to have no pain.
Even though half of the arms were blown off, the claws holding on to those people did not let go.
In the end, amid bursts of screams, he grabbed those few people and retreated into the endless wind and sand, and quickly moved away.
"Damn it!"
The man in armor suddenly looked ugly when he saw that he was still unable to save those people even though he had charged up a blow.
The wind beast is so difficult to deal with, although its attack power is much weaker than other monsters and spiritual beasts in the same realm.
But they have a strange ability to transform into wind and sand, making them extremely difficult to kill.
This is also the reason why he is unwilling to tangle with these wind beasts and wants to retreat to the valley.
If it was just a wind beast in the foundation-building realm, he could still kill it.
But the wind beasts in the Golden Core realm are much more difficult to deal with.
Even if he had the strength of Level 5 Golden Core, it would be difficult for him to kill a Wind Beast with level 2 or 3 strength in a short period of time.
"You have seen that great changes have occurred in the Gale Wind Plains.
Even in this fringe area, there are wind beasts in the Golden Core realm.
If you are not afraid of death, just keep moving forward. We, the shipping company, will not accompany you. "
After saying this, the armored man ignored the people whose faces were pale with fear, turned around and walked forward.
This time, he really left.
Soon, the convoy of the shipping company began to turn around and go back in the direction it came from.
This time, the small caravans who were still shouting before did not dare to speak anymore.
They all followed closely behind the carriers, for fear that they would really abandon them.
After seeing the tragic situation of the previous few people, they also woke up.
No matter how important your business is, it is not as important as your own life.
Without the protection of the shipping company, they might not have survived for a quarter of an hour in this windy plain.
"Guys, what do you think? Do you want to follow us back to the valley?"
Old man Qiao asked Lu Qing and the others while holding his two children.
"Hmph, they are just a few small wind beasts. What's there to be afraid of? I don't have time to waste time with these wastes.
Since you don't dare to move forward, Mr. Nao will leave alone! "
Before the others could reply, the thin young man snorted coldly.
Then he used his body skills to directly break through the light of the fixed wind lantern and rushed into the endless wind and sand.
As soon as he rushed out, the wind and sand gathered, and a monster appeared again.
Huge claws clawed at the thin young man.
“Get away!”
However, the thin young man gave a cold shout, and a flying sword was thrown out by him.
Under the sword light, the wind beast was cut into pieces and collapsed.
After defeating the wind beast, the thin young man never looked back. His figure disappeared into the endless wind and sand, never to be seen again.
"This person is actually a swordsman! No wonder he is so arrogant!"
The woman in red was shocked when she saw this scene.
Sword cultivator has always been known for his attack power.
Powerful sword cultivators are often able to burst out with incredible power, and it is common for them to fight across levels.
No wonder this thin young man behaves so arrogantly these days.
It turns out that he is a rare swordsman!
“Miss Hongyan, what about you?” Old Man Qiao asked again.
"The little girl also has some things to do urgently, so we can't delay here. Mr. Qiao, I'm leaving."
The woman in red smiled sweetly, but she also turned into a red cloud, entered the wind and sand, and left.
When Old Man Qiao saw this, he knew that this man must also have different abilities.
He had no choice but to look at Lu Qing and another middle-aged man who had been silent.
"Two fellow Taoists, do you want to leave too?"
