Chapter 1478.

Tonight’s moon was very full, and the bright moonlight spilled onto the boundless wilderness, with the distant water and swamp flooded with a bit of scaly light.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Wang Dust, who was holding a longbow, stood on the sentry tower, as if he was a frozen statue.

The entire camp was silent, and many people subconsciously held their breath.

Newt ~

Suddenly, a sharp night lord chirp came from the depths of the woods not far away, stimulating everyone’s eardrums.

It’s coming again!

Everyone subconsciously furrowed their brows, a strong feeling of disgust flooding their hearts.

The same chirping had plagued them for multiple nights, and even plugging their ears couldn’t completely solve it.

However, in this instant, Wang Dust on the sentry tower moved.

He suddenly drew his bow and drew the string, nocking an arrow that shone with a cold light in his left hand.

In the next moment, the sharp arrow shot out, instantly skimming over a distance of hundreds of paces and shooting into the dark woods.

“Ah!”

The sudden resounding of the mournful screams that replaced the lords’ chirps lifted the spirits of everyone in the camp.

No one had expected that at such a distance, Wang Dust would hit with an arrow.

“See?”

A veteran soldier in the merchant guard said proudly to the new recruit next to him, “What do you mean by invincible divine arrows, this is Mr. Wang’s invincible divine arrows, the arrows are invincible!”

His tone was full of pride, “When the bandits were attacking, I was by Mr. Wang’s side and watched him shoot down hundreds of bandits’ elites, that scene… tsk tsk!”

And while this veteran was bragging about Wang Dust, Wang Dust had already shot a dozen arrows in succession.

The arrows didn’t enter the woods, and the screams rose and fell!

Those enemies hiding in the dense forest were scared out of their wits, they thought that the place they were in was safe enough, but they never expected that Wang Chuan seemed to have a pair of clairvoyant eyes.

What’s even more frightening is his archery skills, the distance of several hundred paces seems to be non-existent, the arrow is like a shooting star with the power of a thousand pounds, one blow directly killed!

Other enemies have to hide deep into the woods, and some panicked and hid behind the big trees.

At this time, Wang Chen put down the longbow in his hand and suddenly rose up, like a winged roc, he swept over the heads of the merchants and landed outside the camp.

His feet just touched the ground, and then he used his strength to fly up again, and instantly threw himself into the dark woods.

Jianghu experience, do not enter the forest, but this rule seems to be non-existent for Wang Chen, he drew his sword in the moment he entered the forest, and swept forward like an arrow out of the string.

A thief had just poked his head out from behind a tree trunk, only to have a flash of cold light instantly flash before his eyes.

He instantly froze, his body froze motionless, and then a bloody gash opened up in the center of his eyebrow, and crimson blood gurgled out.

Wang Chen landed on the ground, his feet stepping on the loose rotting leaves all over the ground, his stern gaze weaving through the darkness.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

A crossbow arrow shot from different places.

However, Wang Chen’s figure had already disappeared in place, and the cold sword awnings pierced through the darkness once again.

The sound of “plop” and “plop” fell to the ground endlessly.

“The point is solid!”

An exasperated voice suddenly sounded, “Retreat.”

But as soon as his words fell, Wang Dust had already flashed in front of him like a ghost, and the longsword in his hand was swung out noiselessly.

A head then shot up into the sky!

The other thieves hiding in the woods collapsed.

They had never encountered such a terrifying opponent before, and felt like weak chickens facing a tiger, their fear of death flooding their bodies, unable to raise their courage to fight at all.

If they screamed and cried, they scattered and fled!

But Wang Dust hadn’t even warmed up yet.

Inside the merchant camp, everyone was nervously watching the woods not far away.

In fact, they couldn’t see much at all, everything in there was obscured by the darkness and the trees.

However, the continuous screams, wails, and pleas for mercy made everyone automatically paint a gruesome picture in their minds, and everyone’s heart seemed to be tightly clutched by a pair of invisible hands.

Breathing became difficult!

It wasn’t until the miserable screams faded away, and after another half a pillar of incense, a familiar figure appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

Only then did everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Wang Dust had returned.

He stepped out of the woods unhurriedly, as if he had just returned from trekking, his long sword at his waist, his body spotless.

However, in the eyes of a very few people with sensitive senses, at this moment, Wang Chen’s body was covered with a layer of intense blood-death aura, as if he had just returned from hell!

They lowered their heads in awe.

“It’s alright.”

Returning to the campsite, Wang Dust said indifferently, “Rest early and have a good night’s sleep.”

The merchant troopers subconsciously swallowed their saliva, then quickly returned to their positions.

Tonight’s campground had been quiet.

But even though there was no more nuisance from the thieves, there were still quite a few people who stayed up for a long night and didn’t fall into a deep sleep until the early hours of the morning.

This led to a delay in the next day when the caravan hit the road.

On the next journey, Wang Dust’s prestige in the caravan reached its peak, and all his orders were carried out without fail, with no one daring to disobey.

The thieves who had previously harassed the caravan seemed to have been killed for fear, and did not reappear when the caravan saw the city wall of Sanhe County.

Sanhe County was the first stop of the caravan, if they could purchase enough food here, then they could just hit the road back home.

But this was the ideal situation, and nine times out of ten, it would not be possible.

Wang Dust let the merchant caravan camp outside the city so that the several hundred guards wouldn’t trigger unrest in this county, and he himself brought along his dart master and accountant and entered the city to look for grain merchants.

As a result, after some inquiries, everyone found that although the price of grain in Sanhe County had risen a bit, it was still much cheaper than the Qing’an County side.

The problem was that none of the rice houses were able to provide the amount of grain that the Qing’an caravan needed.

Not even at a premium price.

In desperation, Wang Dust could only buy as much as he could, running through three rice stores in a row and purchasing a large amount of stored grain.

After paying the full amount of silver taels, these stocks of grain were sent outside the city and loaded onto the caravan’s trucks.

Then the caravan headed to the second destination – Shangze County.

In this way, the caravan traveled all the way to buy all the way, the caravan wandered around the Yunze Prefecture for most of the month, finally getting the grain together, before embarking on the road back to Qing’an County.

Just before leaving Yunzefu, there was a tail behind the caravan.

And this time the situation was different from when they came, the enemy had no intention of hiding their intentions at all, they whistled and gathered, the number climbed from hundreds to thousands, and it was still increasing continuously.

It was as if all the thieves and bandits in Yunzefu had gathered together and wanted to join hands to swallow this piece of fat meat of Qing’an Merchant Team!

In such a situation, Wang Dust categorically ordered to set up camp in a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

A defense formation was set up!
