Chapter 546: Chapter 347: Trade Route (3)

When it came to pleasant sounds, Zhao Chi still preferred the cries of his Female Soldiers.

But when it came to sheer presence, the men were more imposing.

As they roared, many men at the rear broke away from the main caravan, riding out to the flanks.

They quickly formed an elliptical formation, encircling the entire caravan.

Zhao Chi could feel a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation.

This was a spatial rift; it was impossible for a permanent Array to be here.

So there was only one possibility: these men were about to use their Spiritual Energy to summon a temporary Array.

They should be ready by now, waiting for the signal to activate it.

If they truly encountered hostiles, they wouldn’t hesitate to activate the Array.

The Effect would likely be similar to the Arrays in cities, pulling everyone into a pocket dimension for matched combat.

The caravan didn’t slow down, continuing to charge forward at an extremely high speed.

The curtain of light ahead grew closer and closer.

Zhao Chi felt as if a crack had opened in this dim world, allowing sunlight to spill through from the outside.

In the distance, he saw the curtain of light split apart.

One part continued to advance with the caravan, while the other rushed rapidly toward him.

The others saw it too.

But they didn’t have any particular reaction.

’The approaching curtain of light must be a Skill cast by the other party,’ Zhao Chi suddenly realized.

Everyone used similar Skills and methods.

On the central carriage, Aik and Jiadan were both staring intently ahead, their expressions extremely focused.

Zhao Chi saw several huge, indistinct figures appear in the sky ahead.

Dozens of Griffins swarmed toward them without fear.

The curtain of light advanced, illuminating the surroundings.

It was four Two-legged Flying Dragons.

They looked like a cross between a massive Winged Dragon and a bat.

Their bodies were grayish-brown, with enormous wings spanning twenty meters, soaring like a black cloud.

The Griffins looked like chubby little birds next to them.

Soon after, a column of figures appeared on the ground in the distance. The silhouettes of many carriages were visible—it was indeed another caravan.

But even a caravan couldn’t be taken lightly.

After all, "caravan" wasn’t synonymous with "peaceful."

Bandits had caravans.

Alien Races had caravans.

The other party was also advancing rapidly, showing no intention of stopping.

The two groups grew closer, but the other caravan was far to their left; their paths wouldn’t intersect.

They drew nearer.

Zhao Chi could see more clearly now. It was a Beastman caravan. The wagons weren’t open-topped but were fitted with numerous metal bars and roofs.

The wagons looked more like cages.

The cages were crammed with captives—or, to be more precise, slaves.

There were slaves of every Race, but the most numerous were Female Succubi and Female Elves.

It was a slave caravan.

Tie Shan’s fists clenched tighter, and his focus sharpened.

The other party stared intently back at them. The Beast Race Mages had also assumed formation; if anything happened, they would surely activate their Array instantly.

The two caravans passed each other.

Tie Shan, Aik, Jiadan, and the hundreds of men behind them slowly turned their heads to watch.

The slave caravan was watching them just as intently.

Soon, the two groups had passed each other and were moving apart.

The Griffins flew back.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Chi could sense that the two captains, Tie Shan and Mo Ming, were by no means weak.

No, not just "not weak"—they were incredibly strong.

One had to be far from ordinary to dare lead a caravan with over three hundred wagons of goods through a place like this.

But Zhao Chi also saw Tie Shan visibly relax, his expression easing.

’It seems this spatial rift is truly not a safe place,’ he thought.

The caravan continued its journey into the boundless expanse ahead.

The curtain of light vanished, and the Griffins flew off into the distance.

The men who had formed the defensive perimeter rejoined the column.

The surroundings grew dim once more.

Zhao Chi’s vision was once again limited to the area illuminated by the sphere of light.

A lively discussion erupted from the rear of the caravan.

"Fuck, I almost lost it back there. What level do you think those Beastmen were?"

"I don’t know, but there was definitely at least one State Level Lord."

"No shit, Sherlock. Did you see those Two-legged Flying Dragons? Were they fully evolved?"

"Probably not. Fully evolved Two-legged Flying Dragons are yellow and even bigger. The ones we just saw were still brown."

"Goddamn, did you guys see all those female slaves? There had to be at least 300 of ’em, right?"

"Yeah, for sure! I didn’t expect to see so many Succubi."

"Where do you think they’re selling them? If we weren’t out here, I’d seriously think about buying a few."

"Who knows? Probably either Celestial Peak City or Ambition City."

"Celestial Peak City is in turmoil right now, so it’s gotta be Ambition City."

"Ambition City’s not close either. Forget about it. Let’s just go to Luohong Tower and have some fun when we get back. It’s cheaper, anyway."

"True that. I’ve been pent up for half a month."

"Don’t give me that crap. You’re telling me you haven’t been with any other women?"

"I mean I’ve been craving a Dark Elf for half a month."

"Yeah, that’s true. The women at Luohong Tower are real pros. They really know what they’re doing."

"Did you get some ’medicine’ from Captain Mo?"

"Haha, I’m always stocked!"

"Me too, hehehe."

The discussion from the back grew louder.

Perhaps because the atmosphere just now had been so tense, they all needed to discuss something to blow off steam.

For men, fighting, killing, and women were all good ways to release tension.

Tie Shan was also laughing and joining in the discussion with the Soldiers beside him.

Aik came and sat down next to him again.

Zhao Chi had started to take a liking to the Goblin.

"Hey, Zhao Chi, why don’t you go back to your domain? You’re not needed here."

"Huh? I can go back to my domain?"

Aik looked puzzled. "What? Didn’t your anchor point move with the caravan? Is it still back in Jiaoya Town?"

"No," Zhao Chi said, shaking his head. "I mean, I still have my carriage here, and I need to keep watch."
