Pirate: Strengthening with Alcohol - Chapter 519
c519 Section 519
“Thank you, Brother Ling Bai. I have new toys.” Xiao Yun’er went to play happily.
Ling Bai looked at Xiao Yun’er’s happy look and his mood became very good. Now he also regarded Xiao Yun’er as his own sister.
When they came to the hall, Mu Ling and others had already discussed the travel plan.
“Have you discussed it?”
“Yes, you are not coming back, so we have discussed it.” Mu Ling said.
“That’s perfect, just follow your plan, I will follow you and adapt to the situation.” Ling Bai said with a smile.
“Okay, Ling Bai, you are a specialist, right?” Mu Ling rolled his eyes at Ling Bai.
“Captain, it’s unfair, this is what you have discussed, I am not doing nothing, and I really just came back, otherwise I would have come here a long time ago.”
“Okay, I will forgive you this time. Next time you do this, we will give you the heaviest work.”
“Hehe, no problem, I will never dare to do it next time.” Ling Bai apologized quickly.
The members of the Mu Ling Mercenary Group have all broken through to the Xuanwu Realm. They were originally in the ninth level of the Lingwu Realm. With the rewards of this martial arts competition, it was not surprising that they broke through.
However, Ling Bai’s breakthrough to the second level of the Xuanwu Realm shocked everyone. They didn’t expect that this guy could still break through so quickly in the Xuanwu Realm, and he broke through by himself without eating that low-level spiritual pill.
After the members of the Mu Ling Mercenary Group were ready, they set off with Ling Bai. The distance of the escort mission they accepted this time was not short.
They had to send a chamber of commerce in Mo City to a second-level city 50,000 miles away. Their Mo City was considered a third-level city. Qingshan City could not be considered a city according to this classification, but could be considered a larger market town.
Chapter 49 Departure, the escort mission begins
You know, only places with branches of the Mercenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild can be called cities.
The people participating in the escort mission this time were all outstanding mercenary groups in the last mercenary competition. After Ling Bai followed Mu Ling to the specific location, he saw people from the Yuntian Mercenary Group and the Flying Tiger Mercenary Group.
“Captain, are we going to cooperate with them this time?” Ling Bai asked Mu Ling doubtfully.
“That’s not the case. Both of their mercenary groups have sent out high-level people in the Xuanwu realm this time, so our escort mission is different from theirs. We escort some low-value things, and they escort high-value things.
We won’t set out together. We each have our own way.”
Ling Bai nodded. He thought he was going to go with the two mercenary groups. Obviously, his idea was redundant.
Following Mu Ling into the Chamber of Commerce, Mu Ling introduced Ling Bai to the person who hired them. It was a woman.
“This is our employer, Miss Xing’er. She is my good sister. We have known each other for a long time, so I escort her every time she goes out.” Looking at the two people hugging each other, Ling Bai greeted her.
“This is Ling Bai, who has just joined your mercenary group. I heard that your swordsmanship is very strong and can defeat Xuan Wu.”
“Miss Xing’er, you are too kind. Those are just empty names. This time I am just following to do the mission. The details have to be left to them.” Ling Bai pointed to the people around him.
“Don’t worry, there will definitely be something you can do, don’t shirk it when the time comes.”
“How could that be? I’m not that kind of person.” Ling Bai smiled.
“Okay, Du Yun, take Ling Bai to prepare, we’ll set off in the afternoon.”
“Yes, Captain.” Du Yun pulled Ling Bai out, and only the laughter of a few women remained in the room.
“Brother Du, have you ever followed Miss Xing’er on escort missions before?”
“Yes, the captain has a very good relationship with her. They knew each other when they were young, and their homes are both in the second-tier city we are heading to this time, called Xingxuan City.”
After understanding the situation, Ling Bai followed Du Yun to get busy. Preparing the carriage was the job of their male compatriots. They couldn’t let Mu Ling and the other girls come, it would be too ungentlemanly.
After an incense stick, Du Yun and his men had packed up the carriage, and then took people to put the things that Miss Xing’er needed to escort on the carriage.
“Captain, we’ve packed up, we can set off.” Du Yun shouted inside.
After a while, Mu Ling came out with Xing’er and others, “Du Yun did a good job, let’s go.”
“Okay, captain, you guys get on the carriage.” Mu Ling and others got on the first two carriages, Du Yun and others were in the middle carriage, and only Ling Bai was in the last carriage.
This was Ling Bai’s own request. His perception was more acute, so he could sense whether someone was following him at the end. This is what he told Du Yun.
But the real situation was that he stayed at the back and practiced his sword skills quietly. He was now in the second level of the Xuanwu realm. Although his sword skills were already very strong, they still needed to be deduced.
Ling Bai could feel that his sword skills could be stronger, especially the sword skills like Dragon Flash. He had to be able to launch them smoothly so that he could have the power that this move should have.
Dragon Flash had to be fast, and it had to make people unable to react. This was the power that Dragon Flash should have.
Although he could use Dragon Flash smoothly now, he had not yet reached the speed he expected, and he needed to be faster.
Ling Bai practiced his sword skills over and over in his mind, and at the same time, he was also gesturing with the sword in his hand. If Long Shan wanted to attack faster, his spiritual power would have to connect with the sword faster.
The sword energy generated in this way could not only ensure speed, but also power.
While Ling Bai was practicing swordsmanship, half a day passed quietly, and the entire convoy also stopped. They had to set up camp at night to ensure everyone’s physical strength so that they could travel smoothly the next day.
“Brother Ye, come down, the meal is ready, it’s time to eat.”
“I’m here.” Ling Bai finished practicing and came out. He saw that everyone had set up the camp and a fire was lit in the center of the camp.
“How is it, Brother Ye, isn’t the escort mission good? Not only can we gain experience, but we can also come out to experience this kind of life.”
“Brother Du seems to like this kind of life very much. That’s right, this kind of life is so comfortable, especially if you don’t encounter robbers.”
“So, Brother Du has encountered robbers?” Ling Bai asked.
“That’s not true. I have participated in many escort missions, and only twice I had bad luck and encountered robbers. If there were no experts in the team, I would not have survived until now.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Du, my luck has always been good, you basically don’t have to worry this time.”
“I don’t believe it. Every time someone says this, something bad always happens.”
“Okay, Brother Du, don’t worry about it. Let’s go eat something and fill our stomachs first.”
“Look, didn’t you say I forgot about this? I came to call you to eat, why did I express my feelings to you?”.
Chapter 50 Robbers are coming
The two came to the center of the camp, and Mu Ling and the others had already eaten.
“Ling Bai, how do you feel about participating in the escort mission for the first time?”
“Very good, captain, I can still adapt to this environment. Don’t worry, I will definitely burst out 200% of my strength. With so many beauties like you, everyone is full of energy.”
Ling Bai made a joke at the right time, and everyone in the camp laughed.
After eating, Mu Ling and the others went to rest, and Du Yun and Ling Bai were on guard tonight.
Originally, it was Du Yun who was on guard tonight, but Ling Bai took it upon himself to take on the task of guarding every night, since he didn’t need to rest anyway.
As long as he didn’t make pills, he could recover his energy by practicing, and he didn’t need to sleep.
Ling Bai sat cross-legged on the carriage, looked at Du Yun who was on guard there, closed his eyes and began to practice.
After practicing the Shengsheng Jue, Ling Bai could sense that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was rushing to him, and he accepted it all and directly absorbed all the spiritual energy.
As he broke through to the Xuanwu realm, Ling Bai discovered a problem. His spiritual power seemed to be more than that of people of the same level, which was inseparable from his Shengsheng Jue and Sword God Body.
The night passed quickly, and now this is still a peaceful area. After all, it is not far from Mocheng, so there will be no robbers here.
Ling Bai practiced all night and woke up the first in the morning of the next day. He stretched and jumped off the carriage, waking up Du Yun who was dozing off beside him.
“Du Yun, wake up, it’s dawn.”
“Ah, it’s dawn, sorry I fell asleep.” Du Yun rubbed his eyes and said.
“It’s okay, I’m here, go back and sleep.” After Ling Bai asked Du Yun to go back, he called everyone up, packed up and set off again.
Ling Bai continued to stay in the last carriage, but now there was one more sleeping Du Yun.
Du Yun fell asleep, it was not convenient for him to practice sword, so he went to the top of the carriage, which not only had a good view, but also allowed Ling Bai to practice sword.
The team moved forward for two days, and they didn’t encounter anything along the way, so everyone was still very happy.
Ling Bai picked up the map in his hand. According to the records on the map, there was a forest where bandits often appeared 800 miles ahead, so it was also called the Bandit Forest.
The place where bandits were most likely to appear on the whole road was there.
“Everyone speed up, we have to cross the Bandit Forest before night, otherwise we won’t sleep well tonight.” Ling Bai used his spiritual power to transmit his words to the carriage in front.
After hearing Ling Bai’s reminder, the whole team sped up. It was obvious that they also knew the disadvantages of staying overnight in the bandit forest.
After speeding up, the team finally walked out of the bandit forest before sunset, and did not encounter any bandits.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, “Everyone move forward 50 miles, and then set up camp.”
Ling Bai reminded everyone again that although they did not encounter bandits, it was better to camp farther away from here.
After moving forward 50 miles again, the team stopped, Du Yun and others came down to set up the camp, and then Mu Ling and others started to make a fire and cook.
The meal was soon ready. After eating, Ling Bai asked everyone to rest. He would be the only one on guard tonight.
Ling Bai could feel the fatigue of everyone, so he let them rest. Let them keep watch. They would definitely fall asleep in less than an hour. It would be better to rest.
Finding a carriage roof, Ling Bai sat cross-legged on it again. He spread his soul power and was alert to everything happening around him.
Then he entered a state of meditation. In the camp at night, only the crackling sound of the burning fire remained. The whole camp was extremely silent.
A group of people suddenly appeared one mile away from Ling Bai’s camp. These people were all wearing black clothes, with their faces covered and weapons on their backs.
“Brother, today there is only this caravan stationed not far away. The rest of the caravans have left overnight.”
“Well, have you observed the goods they transported? Is it valuable?”
“Boss, I have observed that the goods they transported are the most ordinary things and are not worth much.”
“Why are we still targeting them when they are worthless? We only deal with big ticket items. Small caravans can’t even fill our teeth. What’s the point of robbing them?”
“Boss, although the goods in this caravan are not valuable, I found that there are many top-quality girls in it, at least five.”
“Are you sure?”
“Boss, it’s true. I observed them closely when they were setting up camp just now. They are definitely top-quality girls, and they are also girls in the Xuanwu realm.”
“Good job, this deal is done, and I will reward you with a girl when I go back.”
“Hehe, thank you boss.”
“Brothers, grab your weapons and follow me.” The strong man led people to slowly surround them, and Ling Bai’s mental power, which was walking outside, suddenly received the information.
Ling Bai opened his eyes, and a sword light flashed in his eyes. There were actually people who were not afraid of death and came to rob.
Of course, he didn’t know that these people’s target was Mu Ling and others in the team.
Chapter 51 Instantaneous annihilation
Ling Bai sent a signal the moment he sensed these people, and Mu Ling and others quickly came out of the tent.
“Ling Bai, what’s wrong?”
“Someone is coming, and they look like robbers.”
“Really? These people are really haunting us. We are already far away from the bandit forest, but they are still chasing us.”
After the whole team was ready, those people had already surrounded them.
“Oh, not bad, you reacted so quickly?” The strong man looked at Ling Bai and others in front of him, and his main focus stayed on Mu Ling and others.
“Waiter, you are right. There will be a big reward when you go back this time.” The man stared at Mu Ling and others with lustful eyes, making Ling Bai look helpless.
It turned out that these guys were here to rob people, and he thought they were interested in their goods!
“Captain, they are here to rob people, you decide!” Ling Bai laughed and said.
“I can see it, and I don’t need you to tell me, you go and cut them into pieces for me.” Mu Ling glared at Ling Bai.
“Okay, I’ll go, captain, you just watch.” Ling Bai quickly stood in front.
“Hey, guys, I think it’s better for you to leave. Maybe you are the ones who are robbed today, really.”
“Boy, who do you think you are? You dare to block our boss’s way. Since you want to force your way out, I will send you to hell first.” The second brother jumped out and stared at Ling Bai viciously.
“Okay, then you can’t blame me.” A dragon roar sounded, and the second brother suddenly broke into two halves. In the shocking moment behind, Ling Bai had already appeared in front of them.
A huge spiritual sword light rushed down from the sky, followed by another dragon roar, and the heads behind flew up in unison, and then the spiritual sword rushed down from the sky, blasting their bodies into pieces.
“Ling Bai, you can solve it by yourself, why do you ask us to get up?” Mu Ling said unsatisfiedly.
“Captain, I’m afraid of their sneak attack? Who knew they would come up like this to die.” Ling Bai held the sword back in his arms and shrugged helplessly.
“I’ll forgive you this time. Next time you encounter this situation, you can solve it from a distance. Keeping it so close is just polluting the air.”
“I understand, Captain. Brother Du, come and help deal with it.” Ling Bai called Du Yun.
Du Yun ran over and cleaned up the place with Ling Bai, and then everyone went back to sleep.
Ling Bai realized that the speed of the sword just now was indeed much faster than before. It seems that the training in the past few days is still effective.
