Chapter 124 – A Barbarian Troop is Approaching! (2/2)
The three in the rear abruptly stopped upon the calling of Shiqi. Although Shiqi had behaved quite frivolously in normal days, he would never play a hoax on big things. Thus, Qinghan, as well as Shisan and Qingwu, all sensed that something ominous might happen in the next moment. In order to know all the details, they spurted in front of Shiqi, wishing to hear more about it.
“10 kilometers up ahead, there… there emerged a group of barbarians! In my estimation, there could be… one to two thousand of them in total!” Shiqi explained in between his breaths. He looked so frightened.
“Ahhh!”
“What?”
“Are we under siege again?”
The three of them looked at one another with wide open eyes. But on second thought, they regained their sense of reason, and predicted that these barbarians weren’t coming for them. Because they were only with four, why would their enemy bother sending out thousands of barbarians to tackle just the four of them? Also, both Shiqi and Shisan were Prince-Realm cultivators; they were able to handle thousands of normal barbarians, even if they were double their size.
“Have you investigated the left and right side of the surroundings? Did you discover any other demons or barbarians?” Shisan had regained his composed manner after the initial shock, and asked Shiqi closely.
“Errr! No, I have only patrolled the front side, and ran away immediately following the discovery of the barbarians. I didn’t have time to multitask in such a short period of time. You know, I have to report to you first.” Stroking his hair embarrassingly, Shiqi replied.
“Go and investigate to the right and left of us. You only have twenty minutes to finish this task!” With some light in Shisan’s eyes, he ordered Shiqi straightforwardly.
“What?” In confusion, Shiqi murmured. However, after looking at the solemn expression on Shisan’s face, he immediately ran away and disappeared in the distance.
After that, Shisan didn’t show any anxiety, but asked Qinghan to sit down and cultivate. Leisurely, he roamed around the vicinity, seemingly appreciating the beautiful scenery.
“Shall we run away?” Shocked by Shisan’s response, Qingwu raised her concern and asked.
“No. I don’t think there will be anything bad happening to us. Take a rest, Qingwu. We’ll be reassured once Shiqi comes back!” With a gentle smile, Shisan spoke to Qingwu in a heroic tone.
“The other three sides are all clear!” Ten minutes later, Shiqi brought back the good news, which met Shisan’s expectations.
“Oh, that’s great! Have you learned the possible direction of the barbarian troop? In what direction are they charging?” Shisan nodded his head, and added.
It took Shiqi a full moment before he could speak up, as he frowned his eyebrows, “Errr… Sorry, I didn’t take much heed about that. You know, there are simply too many of them… I’m afraid to get too close and be spotted. Let’s think… They’re walking far in front of us, and a bit to the left. Ah! Right! There are two Barbarian Emperors leading that way!”
“Left side? Ahh! They are going to the mingled battlefield! But… what for?” Murmuring in a low voice to himself, Shisan plunged into deep meditation. A long while later, he raised his head up, and said mysteriously, “Hmmm, I guess something big is around the corner, otherwise the Barbarian Prefecture wouldn’t gather such a large legion. Shiqi, you’ll work harder to follow up on their latest situation. Oh, do be careful, we’ll follow closely behind you. Let’s see what they are up to!”
“Alright!” With a firm nod, Shiqi disappeared once again.
