Chapter 57 Blocking Enemy
"Your Lin family will rely on this for a living, and sooner or later they will be destroyed!" The big man laughed and knew that he could not escape, and there was no scruples when talking.
In the reflection of the scorching sun, a cold light flashed. The machete scratched the big man's neck, and the laughter stopped abruptly. The head rolled down and slid down, and a bright red blood color suddenly spewed out from the bowl-sized wound.
The leading man put away the curve with blood and rode in the direction of coming. The person behind him bent down on the horse's back and picked up his head and put it in a pre-prepared pocket.
When the horseshoe came to Mu Chen, the man stopped with his hands slightly. At this time, Mu Chen was knocked down by the big man and had not yet got up. His face was pale, his broken clothes and mud, which formed a sharp contrast with the man on the horse.
"Brother, you don't look well. Where did you come from and where are you going?" The leading man was extremely friendly to Mu Chen, and the murderous spirit just now completely disappeared for a moment.
"I came from the other side of the mountain and want to go to the mainland." Mu Chen answered truthfully, and there was no need for him to hide these questions at all.
"Haha, since the little brother is going to the mainland of China, we can just give you a ride. Seeing that your current physical condition is not very good, the horses here can also be convenient for you." Although the man is the leader of these people, he is not arrogant at all and speaks kindly: "by the way, my name is Lin Xun. You can just get on the horse of the man behind you."
Mu Chen stood up and nodded: "Then thank Brother Lin Xun."
The group did not stop, and Mu Chen also got on the horse of a bearded uncle. The beard was talkative and said cheerfully along the way. Although the weather was hot, these dozen people were not tired. Obviously, they were all practitioners. Through a thin layer of purple, Mu Chen also unconsciously saw everything. Human strength.
Lin Xun, who takes the lead, is a first-class real master, and the rest of the people are all empty. The strength of these people is indeed not small.
"Hey, little brother, it's the first time to come to the mainland." The big man in front of Mu Chen asked with a rough smile.
"Ye, it's my first time here." Mu Chen replied.
"Haha, this is different from other places. We live not far from this - the frontier city. Although it is located on the edge of the mainland, it is very elegant." People living in the mainland of China are born with a sense of superiority, and the same is true. No matter the architecture or prosperity here, other places can't be compared with them.
"Uncle, you all seem to be very powerful. You must be very powerful in the fortress over there, right?" Mu Chen has always been very curious about the real strength of the Celemony. He is eager to know what it is like here in the Celstial Empire.
"Not to mention, your brother's eyesight is really good. In the frontier city, the Lin family is definitely a big family, and there are countless people in it. You see, the front one is Lin Xun, the eldest son of the Lin family. His strength is even stronger, and there are also many masters who died under him." The big man was not disgusted with Mu Chen's question at all. Instead, he explained it in detail. He turned around and laughed: "Little brother, don't call me an uncle. Everyone else calls me Lao Lu. Just call me Brother Lu."
The viper-like sun in the sky kept shining on the dry land, roasting every piece of land here, but these dozens of people didn't feel anything when talking and laughing along the way. After a long time, the red sun hanging at the highest place finally fell slowly, and the quiet night was gradually banned. It's hot here.
When the first ray of moonlight shone, Lin Xun, who took the lead, also stopped, raised his hand to sign everyone to dismount. He turned around and shouted, "It's getting late. Let's rest here tonight. The task is good. I'll treat you good wine and meat when I get back."
"Son, you are modest. If you offer a reward, you will be punished alone, and we have nothing to do."
"Yes, every time I look forward to carrying out the task with you, I don't have to take action, and the thieves are settled one by one."
"When I go back, I will treat you to a drink. I'm sorry to treat you all the time."
Everyone stepped down one after another and said cheerfully and unrestrainedly.
As soon as Mu Chen was about to disarm, the powerful bearded arm in front of him helped him down: "Your body should not be very good. Be careful, don't fall."
Everyone casually found an open space and lit a torch. A group of rough men did not pay attention to the details. They lay directly on the ground and began to chat.
"Hey, little brother, I haven't asked your name yet. Anyway, everyone can't sleep now. Let's talk about you." He sat cross-legged on the ground and asked.
"Yes, look, I forgot to ask your name. Look at my brother's memory." Brother Lu patted his head as if he had forgotten something important.
"My name is Chen Niu. I heard that the mainland of China is much more prosperous than ours, and I have a relative here, so I want to come here to make some money and see the world by the way." Although he has a good impression of these people, the mainland of China is too strange to Mu Chen. Naturally, he will not tell these people his details easily.
"So where do your relatives live and what's their names? We may be able to help you find them." Lin Xun said.
"This... Because they arrived in the mainland a long time ago, I can't remember what they are called, and I don't know where they live. I only know that they are on this continent. Mu Chen's face was full of sincerity and said to everyone.
Hearing this, three black vertical lines appeared on everyone's faces. Even if they don't know how big the mainland of China is, this boy is too ridiculous.
"Chen Niu, according to your words, the possibility of finding your relatives is almost zero. Why don't you work in our Lin family? At least your life will be guaranteed." Lin Xun said with a straight face.
"Yes, Chenniu, the people of the Lin family are good. It's better to catch reward criminals like us, which makes the most money." The bearded brother Lu didn't wait for Mu Chen to speak and quickly said first.
"Thank you first for your good intentions, but I still have to find relatives first. As for the work, you don't have to worry about it. I'm still a little entangled." Mu Chen said that his relatives were naturally the original family of the Mu family. He didn't know what the strength of the Mu family was in the mainland of China and whether there were any enemies, so naturally he would not say it.
"In this case, I won't force people, but seeing that the Chenniu brothers are not in good health, they can rest at my house for a few days before going, and it's worth everyone's fate." Lin Xun's temperament was extremely hospitable. Looking at Mu Chen alone coming here, there was a trace of pity.
Mu Chen did not refuse Lin Xun's kindness. Although his physical injury has basically recovered, his body consumes too much true qi. Now he has only recovered five layers of strength. More importantly, his right arm still does not feel a trace of energy fluctuations, except for strong bones and muscular hair. In addition, this arm is no different from ordinary people.
As time went by, everyone also lay on the ground and fell asleep, busy chasing the reward prisoners. The fatigue of running around for a few days made them sleep better.
The faint firelight was extinguished in this endless darkness. The night enveloped more than a dozen men, and the sound of purring sounded quietly and methodically here.
More than a dozen nervous people didn't even arrange a vigil.
The next morning, the heat swept here again. A group of people got on horses one after another and continued to move forward. After a night of rest, the true qi in Mu Chen's body recovered about seven or eight points. Except for his right arm, there was almost no difference in peace.
After riding on the horses, Lin Xun looked into the distance and said, "I guess it will take another half a day to reach the frontier fortress."
But after everyone walked for a while, Mu Chen suddenly noticed that several eyes were staring at here, and the danger kept approaching here. Obviously, these people hidden in the dark were not good.
Finally, Lin Xun's hoof stopped and glanced around: "I don't know who is. What's the ability to hide? I hope I can show up."
As soon as Lin Xun's words fell, everyone pulled out their machetes for a moment and looked around solemnly.
"Brother Chenniu, hold on to me. I may fight later. I will protect you." The bearded face became solemn and whispered to Mu Chen behind him.
