Chapter 836.

In the dim underground, a long procession trudged forward on the Holy Ancestor’s Walkway.

The composition of this procession was very complex, including the usual traveling merchants, hunters, martial artists, commoners, and scholars, but also mixed in with many poor refugees in rags.

Zhong Lei took a deep breath and carried his daughter from his wife’s arms.

And with not only the heavy traveling bag hanging on his back, but also his five-year-old son, the burden was already very heavy.

But Zhong Lei couldn’t bear his wife’s exhaustion and emaciation, and was willing to put more burden on himself, while still comforting the other party, “Xiuyun, hold on for two more days, and we’ll be able to reach Taiwu City!”

His wife was already too tired to speak, but still managed to squeeze out a smile.

Zhong Lei held her hand with his empty left hand, “Believe me, once we reach Taiwu City, we will be able to live a good life.”

Zhong Lei’s family originally lived outside of Bai Mu City, he himself was a hunter, together with his wife’s farming and weaving, it was enough to support their two sons and daughters, and the days were still considered peaceful and beautiful.

However, the sky has unpredictable winds and clouds, just for the sake of a fourth-order beast prey, Zhong Lei offended a family in White Wood City, and was forced to flee his countryside with his wife and son.

When he left, one of the village clan elders told Zhong Lei to go to Taiwu City to make a living.

Taiwu City is the number one city in the Misty Mountain Realm, with a population of millions. Even if you can’t get into the city, you can rent a piece of land and build a hut outside, and still have no problem to make a living.

Zhong Lei in a very small time, had heard about all kinds of Taiwu City.

Has been extremely longing for.

But in the past, it is difficult to leave the homeland, it is impossible to leave the family business to take risks.

Now that he had made a breakthrough, Zhong Lei had brought his wife and child along the way, which could be described as having gone through hardships, and had spent most of his savings, and finally the future was in sight.

“Uh-huh!”

Zhong Lei’s wife nodded vigorously.

For her, as long as she could be with her husband and children, no matter how hard the days were, it was all happiness.

And she was also full of longing for her new life in the future.

Beep! Beep! Beep~

It was at this time that the sound of a sharp whistle suddenly came from the front of the group.

Enemy attack!

Zhong Lei’s face suddenly changed, and he shouted in a deep voice, “Xiu Yun, take the children to the center!”

He and his wife and children had changed teams several times along the way, and had encountered thieves and bandits four or five times along the way.

According to the rules of the brigade, if they encountered an attack by roving thieves and bandits, then the men had to stand outside to resist, including the elderly, women and children who were crowded in the middle.

Zhong Lei had a third-order Bone Refining cultivation, and his strength was not very weak in this group.

Therefore, he immediately put down his traveling bag and children and took out his longbow and arrows as fast as he could and charged forward.

Zhong Lei’s wife, on the other hand, opened her arms and hugged her two children tightly before dragging her luggage backward.

She had also encountered the same situation many times and was now very experienced.

Just her face still shows a worried look.

While Zhong Lei fought to separate the tumultuous crowd in front of him, he immediately saw a black figure appearing in the distance.

This hunter’s heart sank violently.

The bandits that appeared this time were many in number, and all of them seemed to be very tough, and were by no means the kind of scattered soldiers that were easy to deal with.

Zhong Lei’s team didn’t have many powerful warriors, although their numbers were large, they were essentially scattered.

Zhong Lei is very clear in his heart, this battle is difficult!

However, his wife and children are behind him, so he can’t afford to retreat.

The hunter immediately pulled the long bow, arrows on the string, ready to fight to the death!

What made him vomit blood was that the front of the group seemed to have suddenly exploded and became chaotic.

“Bandits are coming!”

“Run!”

“Everyone run for your lives!”

“Run!”

One by one, they cried out and desperately fled to the back.

Although there were only a few people at the beginning, they easily awakened the fear in people’s hearts, and quite a few weak-willed guys immediately lost their fighting spirit and followed in blind disorder.

Zhong Lei was rushed by the fleeing crowd and almost fell to the ground, his heart cold to the core.

It was over!

Experience told him that there must be bandits and spies mixed in the team, in order to create chaos at the critical moment.

But after all, Zhong Lei was only a third-ranked martial artist, how could he have the ability to save the day!

He leaned against the rock wall in a state of despair, and watched the hordes of bandits come whistling, his hands and feet were powerless for a moment.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Just when Zhong Lei was in utter despair, an arrow that shone with a cold and chilling light fell like rain in the middle of the bandits, creating a bloody storm.

“Ah!”

Miserable screams rose and fell, and a large number of bandits who had been fierce and vicious just a moment ago fell down in unison.

Many were nailed alive on the ground, while some who were lucky enough not to die let out pig-killing howls of terror!

“Chang’an, Chang’an Iron Armor!”

“Iron-blooded Junior League, it’s the Iron-blooded Junior League!”

“Run, run!”

This time, it was the bandits’ turn to cry for help, each of them wishing to grow an extra leg and desperately trying their best to escape to a nearby fork in the road.

However, wave after wave of arrows rained down in hot pursuit, mercilessly harvesting their lives.

There were also a few strong bandits who defiantly charged back against the rain of arrows, trying to kill a bloody path.

As a result, they were greeted by a slice of snowy blade!

Zhong Lei was dumbstruck.

He saw that hundreds of paces ahead, a team of iron armored warriors swept across the path blocking the Holy Ancestor’s path with a devastating force, crushing the bandits in front of them into pieces.

He saw a bandit leader yelling and leaping high into the air, only to be shot into a hedgehog by a dozen or so flying lances.

Screams, wails, and pleas for mercy ……

In just half a cup of tea, there was no longer a single standing pirate bandit to be seen on the Sacred Ancestor’s walkway.

And like divine soldiers descending from the sky, the iron armored warriors stepped on the corpses and blood that covered the ground and quickly rushed in front of Zhong Lei’s group.

The people around Zhong Lei were so scared that they retreated, each head shrinking like a quail.

These iron armored warriors killed bandits like chickens, killing them would be even easier.

Zhong Lei was undoubtedly much bolder, and he didn’t think that these well-equipped and well-trained warriors would lay their hands on his own hard-pressed poor people.

Therefore, he gathered his courage and stepped forward to salute, “The kindness of all the lords in saving my life, I will never forget it!”

These iron-armored warriors stopped in their tracks, and one of them lifted his silver-gray mask and asked in a deep voice, “Where did you come from and where are you going?”

The other warriors followed suit and lifted their masks.

Zhong Lei was astonished beyond measure to find that these powerful and ruthless warriors were all teenagers, with faces that were still faintly childish.

Zhong Lei froze for a moment before he replied in a panic, “Back to your lordship, I, my youngest is fleeing to Taiwu City.”

And the other party smiled at his words and said, “Taiwu City? Then it would be better to come to our Chang’an City!”
