Chapter 1691 Playing tricks

The long convoy was heading northeast with its back to the setting sun. As there were many valleys nearby, it was impossible to go in a straight line. In addition, it was freezing cold, so transportation was not an easy task.

Yang Yiyi was lucky enough to be sitting in a carriage wrapped in thick fur, which was quite warm.

It was just that Yang Yiyi would open the window of the carriage from time to time to see when the monsters would come, which made the temperature in the carriage drop frequently.

Tang Lianyu had to continue to go north, but if he continued to go north, he could not take a boat, so he could only rely on a carriage.

So Tang Lianyu's carriages and horses simply moved with the transport convoy.

The carriages and horses that transported supplies were of course escorted by the army, but to be honest, it was not possible to count on these soldiers.

Most people were still very afraid of monsters. Even Yang Yiyi was scared when she saw the monsters when she first entered Taoyuan Valley. She did not feel relieved until she found that the monsters were easy to get along with.

Even someone as carefree as Yang Yiyi was afraid, let alone ordinary people.

This may be related to the fact that everyone was scared by monsters when they were young, and psychological trauma belongs to it.

If the monster jumps out, the morale of the army will be a big problem, and they may abandon the carriage and run for their lives.

At this time, it depends on people like Yang Yiyi. As long as the army sees that the monster will die if it is killed, they will naturally take up courage.

"The monsters I know are easy to get along with, and they don't seem to do such things. But don't worry, monsters are actually bigger animals that can talk."

In the carriage, Yang Yiyi still has the energy to encourage Qin Yan, who is a little flustered.

Ning Xian'er is not afraid, because she has really killed monsters, but Qin Yan has no such experience and is somewhat panicked.

Speaking of which, it seems like there is something wrong with letting the convoy set off in the evening, but it is actually normal.

On the route to the northern front, supply stations with similar intervals have been established to deliver supplies to the front through relay.

So in fact, the journey from the town to the next supply station is only two or three hours at most.

The shorter the journey, the less pressure on the transporters, so they can work day and night without having to worry too much about time.

The only thing to consider is the weather.

Yang Yiyi and her team didn't seem to have good luck. Less than an hour after they set off, the sky darkened and a strong wind began to blow.

The cold wind carried snowflakes, making it hard to open your eyes, and the convoy began to slow down.

After another stick of incense, it began to snow, and it was hard to say whether it would turn into a blizzard.

Yang Yiyi's hometown is Qizhou, which is completely in the south among the ten countries in the Central Plains.

Although she had seen snow-capped mountains when she went to the Western Regions, it was the first time she saw snow. If she hadn't stayed in the carriage to protect Tang Lianyu, she always felt that Yang Yiyi would suddenly run out and roll in the snow.

This is true, when it snows, southerners are more fun than snow.

The wind speed began to increase, and the snowflakes became more and more dense. The horses pulling the carriage could hardly withstand the strong wind, and their pace became slower and slower.

Now everyone just hopes to get to the next supply station before it turns into a blizzard, which should not be far away.

And at this moment, Yang Yiyi, who was thinking about whether to go out to catch snowflakes, suddenly felt a shock in her arms and moved up and down.

This was a secret signal agreed in advance. Li Chengxi was warning Yang Yiyi that there was danger approaching.

"Something is coming!"

Yang Yiyi hurriedly reminded others.

Almost at the same time, the carriage stopped, and the sound of weapons being drawn outside could be heard across the carriage.

"Sister Ning, stay and protect Miss Tang, I'll go out and take a look."

Ning Xian'er wanted to say that you stay and I go out, but Yang Yiyi got the first chance.

After thinking about it, Yang Yiyi was protected by the immortal anyway, and a few monsters were not a big deal, so she agreed.

Yang Yiyi lifted the heavy fur curtain, and the cold wind hit her face like a slap. She wanted to play with the snow just now, but now she has no interest.

But apart from this, the movement around is more worthy of attention.

The soldiers guarding the convoy held torches and looked at both sides of the valley in panic.

Because the mountains are connected nearby, the road is actually opened between the mountains. There are steep slopes on both sides, and only some dead trees can be seen at ordinary times.

But under the swaying of the torch, Yang Yiyi seemed to see some things that did not look like people moving quickly on the hillside, which seemed to be shadowy and difficult to see clearly.

The officer was shouting loudly and asking the soldiers to line up, but out of fear of monsters, everyone's morale really fell to the bottom as expected.

Generally speaking, monsters will not approach the army, because the army is too evil. Although approaching the army will not cause any substantial harm, it is uncomfortable.

If monsters appear in the folk, it is usually the people of the rivers and lakes who take action to deal with it. It is rare for the army to deal with it. After all, if the army approaches, the monsters will run away long ago.

The soldiers have almost no experience in dealing with monsters. They only know that this thing eats people. When they were young, they were often used as ghost stories, so they were naturally panicked.

Yang Yiyi jumped off the carriage and shouted at the hillside:

"Who is playing tricks! Come out!"

Fortunately, the snow on the hillside was not thick, and she did not use the Tiger Roaring Skill, but simply shouted at the top of her lungs, otherwise there would be an avalanche.

This shout made the shadows on the hillside even denser, and even with the dim light of the torch, it was clear that the shadows were approaching the convoy.

This also made the accompanying soldiers more panicked.

"Don't panic, it's just a scare!"

Yang Yiyi was right this time, it was really a scare.

Li Chengxi saw through the shadows all over the mountains at a glance. They were just illusions, a trick.

Even if it was a monster, it didn't want to fight the army head-on. Fighting to the death meant casualties, so it was more efficient to defeat the enemy without fighting.

That being said, it was difficult for a group of ordinary people to distinguish what was a trick. Ordinary soldiers didn't know Yang Yiyi and just thought she was a maid who came with a big shot.

——The appearance that was usually the most deceptive now had the opposite effect.

Seeing that the soldiers were getting more and more panicked, it was probably not long before they would flee. Yang Yiyi grabbed a stone on the ground and smashed it hard on the hillside.

The palm-sized stone had the effect of an armor-piercing bullet, leaving a big hole on the hillside. Although it didn't hit anything, it suddenly reduced the number of "shadows" pouring down the hillside.

Illusions are like this. If they are hit, most illusions will collapse.

This is also a common method used by the warriors on Viola's side to break illusions. It is simple, rough and easy to use.

Under the cover of illusions, the monsters that quietly approached the convoy seemed to realize that Yang Yiyi was an expert. If they didn't kill her, the scary tricks that had been tried and tested in the past might not work.

So Yang Yiyi immediately felt the jade scepter in her arms tremble slightly, and at the same time a gust of wind came from the side. When she looked closely, she saw only a tuft of soft, white fur flashing before her eyes.
