Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

After they finished packing, the two quickly arrived at the south of the city.

Zhu Zhuqing stood by the roadside, her face filled with shock, staring at the impoverished caravan before her.

His lips twitched involuntarily.

No, there are only three carriages in total?

And there wasn't even a decent flag hanging up.

"Lin Ye".

"Um?"

"This is the caravan you were talking about?"

"Yes, that's right." Lin Ye nodded confidently.

"You talked so eloquently before, about 'rational use of resources' and 'large-scale cross-border transportation by caravans'."

Zhu Zhuqing pointed at the dilapidated convoy in front of her, her lips twitching slightly.

"That's the result?"

After hearing this, Lin Ye calmly rubbed his nose:

"Big kitty, you don't understand. This is called the elite force strategy. It's not about the quantity of troops, but the quality."

"Lin Ye, don't try to fool me."

"I'm not lying to you."

Lin Ye pointed to the burly middle-aged man inspecting goods at the front of the convoy.

"See that? The guard captain leading the way is called Li Feng. He has a bear-type martial soul and is a six-ring Soul Emperor."

"His soul power is level sixty-three."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered slightly.

A six-ring Soul Emperor? Level 63?

"Moreover, besides him, there are six other four-ring Soul Masters in this guard team."

Lin Ye then counted on his fingers and said earnestly,

"Seven Soul Masters of level 30 or above escorting three carriages—this configuration would be top-tier in any caravan."

"Then why is it so small?"

"That must be because the goods being transported are expensive."

Lin Ye lowered his voice.

"The more valuable something is, the less ostentatious the display will be. If someone pulls a hundred horse-drawn carriages all over the streets and shouts about it, it's because they're afraid others won't know they're rich."

"Truly intelligent people make their fortunes quietly."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything more, but most of the doubt in her eyes disappeared.

I have to admit, this bastard may have a foul mouth, but he's actually quite smart.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the people first."

Lin Ye then walked towards the front of the convoy and waved to the burly middle-aged man from afar.

"Brother Li!"

Li Feng, who was inspecting the rope knot, suddenly looked up and saw Lin Ye.

A smile immediately spread across that weathered, square face.

"Hey, young Lin! You've come at the perfect time! I thought you'd changed your mind and weren't coming!"

Li Feng strode over and gently patted Lin Ye on the shoulder.

"Brother Li is joking."

"There's no reason to go back on a promise."

A few days ago, when Lin Ye was looking for a healing-type Soul Master in Soto City,

I happened to find out that this caravan was departing for the Heavenly Dou Empire today.

So he approached Li Feng in advance to discuss the arrangements for accompanying him.

Li Feng laughed heartily after hearing this.

However, just as Li Feng was about to say something, his gaze suddenly fell on Zhu Zhuqing behind Lin Ye.

"Young man, who is this person behind you...?"

"This is my friend," Lin Ye said succinctly.

Li Feng then looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down, his gaze filled with pure surprise, without a trace of frivolity.

"What a beautiful girl."

Li Feng sighed.

"Brother, I've traveled all over the country for so many years, and I can count the number of faces as beautiful as yours on one hand."

Zhu Zhuqing's ears turned slightly red when praised so directly by an elder:

"……Thanks"

"Oh, don't thank me, I'm just telling the truth."

Li Feng smiled and scratched his head.

"However, there's something I need to tell you. The first few cars are all full, so you'll have to take the last one."

"The last one?"

Lin Ye was somewhat puzzled.

"Hey, don't mind. The last car is empty, there's not much cargo, just the two of you, it's quiet and spacious."

Li Feng grinned.

"Young people like us should have a chat."

After saying that, she winked at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye: "???"

Lin Ye was immediately dumbfounded. Wait, did Brother Li misunderstand something?

Forget it,

Lin Ye didn't bother to explain and led Zhu Zhuqing directly to the last carriage at the end of the procession.

Lifting the curtain, the interior was indeed spacious.

Several wooden crates were stacked against the wall, and the remaining space was covered with hay and coarse cloth, which could barely be considered a place to sit or lie down.

Lin Ye plopped down casually, leaned against the wooden box, and stretched his limbs.

After Zhu Zhuqing lifted the curtain and entered, she glanced around the carriage and silently walked to the farthest corner to sit down.

Lin Ye glanced at her and asked:

"Big cat, why are you sitting so far away? I don't bite people."

"I'm used to it."

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.

Lin Ye didn't ask any more questions and slowly closed his eyes.

Before long, the carriage slowly set off.

The wheels made a regular squeaking sound as they rolled over the gravel road.

About half an hour later.

"Lin Ye".

"Um?"

What exactly is the opportunity that the Heavenly Dou Empire has?

Zhu Zhuqing stared at him intently.

"you guess."

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing was speechless for a moment.

"Can't guess? Then don't ask. You'll find out when we get there."

"snort."

Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly, turned her head away, and refused to look at him again.

But inside, a frantic roar was raging.

That despicable Lin Ye! He's such a scoundrel!

Time passed by, second by second.

As evening approached, the caravan entered a canyon road nestled between two large mountains.

The mountain walls on both sides are steep and jagged with rocks. The official road winds its way through the valley, with only a sliver of dim light overhead.

Li Feng ordered them to set up camp on the spot and spend the night there.

The guards moved with practiced ease and quickly set up several bonfires.

The firelight reflected off the mountainside, flickering on and off.

As night fell, the surroundings became completely dark, with only the chirping of insects and the sound of the wind echoing through the canyon.

Inside the carriage, Zhu Zhuqing was curled up in a corner, breathing evenly, already asleep.

At this moment, Lin Ye leaned against the car wall, his eyelids heavy, and he was about to close his eyes.

However, at this very moment...

suddenly!

"Awooo—"

A long, drawn-out wolf howl came from the distant mountaintop.

Lin Ye's drowsiness vanished instantly.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's perception spread out in full.

The sound of wolves howling?

Not right.

This wolf howl is not the sound of an ordinary wild wolf.

The tone was too regular, like some kind of signal.

What alarmed him even more was that the howling came from three different directions.

Sensing something was wrong, Lin Ye immediately leaned down, gently placed one hand on Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, and whispered:

"Wake up, big kitty."

Zhu Zhuqing was a very light sleeper. She opened her eyes the moment her shoulder was touched, her cat-like pupils gleaming faintly in the darkness.

"Hmm~ What's wrong?"

Something's up.

Lin Ye's voice was very low.

"Something's not right outside. Prepare for battle."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask any more questions. She immediately sat up straight and began to circulate her soul power within her body.

at this time,

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the mountainside above!

A pile of rubble cascaded down from the mountaintop, crashing onto the ground and raising clouds of dust.

"Damn it, enemy attack!!"

Just then, Li Feng's angry roar came from the front.

Lin Ye quickly lifted the carriage curtain, leaned out to look, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Dozens of boulders the size of millstones were rolling down from the mountain walls on both sides, raining down on the caravan!

"Big kitty, come out quickly!"

Then Lin Ye grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and jumped off the carriage, his right hand forming a claw as he instantly activated his soul power.

"First Soul Skill, Thirteen Slashes of the Evil God!"
