Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1691 Pretending to be a ghost
The long convoy headed northeast with its back to the setting sun. Due to the numerous 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 helped by Tang Lianyu. She felt quite warm as they sat in the carriage wrapped in thick fur.

Yang Yiyi would open the window of the carriage from time to time, trying to see when the monster would come, causing the temperature in the carriage to drop frequently.

Tang Lianyu had to continue going north, but if she continued going north she could no longer take a boat and could only rely on a horse carriage.

So Tang Lianyu's carriage simply moved with the transport convoy.

The vehicles carrying supplies are of course escorted by the army, but to be honest, we can't really count on these soldiers.

Most people are still very afraid of monsters. Even Yang Yiyi was frightened when she first entered Taoyuan Valley when she saw the monsters. She only slowly put her mind at ease when she found out that the monsters were easy to get along with.

Even someone as carefree as Yang Yiyi is afraid of her, let alone ordinary people.

This may be related to the fact that everyone was scared by monsters by their parents when they were young, which left a psychological trauma.

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

At this time, we have to rely on people like Yang Yiyi. As long as the army sees that monsters can be killed and die, they will naturally muster up courage.

"The monsters I know are all easy to get along with, and they don't seem like they would do something like this. But don't worry, monsters are just larger animals that can talk."

In the carriage, Yang Yiyi still had the energy to encourage Qin Yan, who was a little nervous.

Ning Xian'er was not afraid because she had really killed a monster before. Qin Yan had no such experience and was somewhat panicked.

Speaking of which, letting the convoy set off in the evening may seem like a stupid idea, but it is actually normal.

Supply stations with similar spacing were built on the route leading to the northern front, and supplies were delivered to the front line 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 distance, the less pressure there is on the transportation personnel, so they can naturally work day and night without having to worry too much about time issues.

The only thing to consider is the weather.

Yang Yiyi and the others' luck seemed to be not very good. Less than an hour after they set out, the sky became completely dark and a strong wind began to blow.

The cold wind brought snowflakes that made it difficult to open one's eyes, and the convoy began to slow down.

After another stick of incense, it started snowing, 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 Kingdoms 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 had to stay in the carriage to protect Tang Lianyu, she always felt that Yang Yiyi would suddenly run out and roll in the snow.

It’s true, when it snows, people in the south are more fun than the snow.

The wind speed began to increase and the snowflakes became denser and denser. The horses pulling the carts could hardly withstand the strong wind and their pace became slower and slower.

Now everyone just hopes that they can get to the next supply station before it turns into a blizzard, which shouldn't be too 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 it moved up and down.

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

"Something's coming!"

Yang Yiyi quickly reminded others.

Almost at the same time, the carriage stopped, and the sound of weapons being drawn could be heard from outside the carriage. "Sister Ning, stay and protect Miss Tang. I'll go out and take a look."

Ning Xianer originally wanted to say "leave me here while I'm here", but Yang Yiyi spoke first.

On second thought, since Yang Yiyi had an immortal protecting her, a few monsters were not a big deal, so he agreed.

Yang Yiyi pulled aside the thick fur curtain, and the cold wind hit her in the face like a gust of wind. She wanted to play in the snow just now, but now she suddenly lost interest.

But apart from this, the movements around are more worthy of attention.

The soldiers protecting the convoy held torches and looked towards both sides of the valley in panic.

Since there are many mountains nearby, the road is actually built between the mountains. There are steep slopes on both sides, and usually only some dead trees can be seen.

But in the flickering of the torch, Yang Yiyi seemed to see some things that did not look like humans moving quickly on the hillside, and the shadows were so heavy that they were difficult to see clearly.

The officers were shouting at the soldiers to line up, but due to the fear of the monster, everyone's morale fell to the lowest point as expected.

Generally speaking, monsters will not get close to the army, because the army is too full of evil spirits. Although getting close to the army will not cause any substantial harm, it will be uncomfortable.

If a monster appeared among the people, it was usually the people from the martial arts world who took action to deal with it. It was rare for the army to deal with it. After all, if the army got close, the monster would have run away long ago.

The soldiers had almost no experience in dealing with monsters. They only knew that these things ate people. They had often heard them in ghost stories when they were young, so they were naturally nervous.

Yang Yiyi jumped off the carriage and shouted towards 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 Technique. She just simply shouted at the top of her lungs, otherwise there would have been an avalanche.

The shout made the shadows on the hillside even denser, and even in the dim light of the torches, they could be clearly seen approaching the convoy.

This also made the accompanying soldiers even more panicked.

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

Yang Yiyi was right this time, she was really just trying to scare people.

Li Chengxi saw through the shadows all over the mountains at a glance and realized that they were just illusions, a trick to deceive the eyes.

Even monsters don't want to confront an army head-on. A fight to the death means casualties. It is most efficient to defeat the enemy without fighting.

That being said, it was difficult for a group of ordinary people to tell what was a trick. The ordinary soldiers did not know Yang Yiyi and just thought she was a maid who came with the important person.

——The usually most deceptive appearance now has the opposite effect.

Seeing that the soldiers were becoming more and more panicked and might soon flee, Yang Yiyi grabbed a stone from the ground and smashed it hard against the hillside.

The palm-sized stone had the effect of an armor-piercing bullet, leaving a large hole on the hillside. Although it did not hit anything, the "shadow" pouring down the hillside suddenly decreased a lot.

Illusions work like this. Most illusions will collapse if hit.

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

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

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