“I’m not sure. It’s indeed very strange.” Uncle Li was also very puzzled and did not understand why.

A few escorts walked out of the house and saw Zhao Long and Uncle Li talking about the black gold bow. They also leaned over.

“Uncle Li, you’re at the seventh level of the Body Refining Realm. Could it be that even you can’t pull the string of the black gold bow?” Iron Tiger asked curiously.

“It can’t be helped. The black gold bow is made of a special metal and requires too much strength. My strength is not enough to pull it. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself.” Uncle Li handed the strong bow to Iron Tiger.

“Alright, I’ll try.”

Iron Tiger was burly and ate a lot. He was famous for his strength in the escort agency and was even stronger than his brother, Iron Dragon.

This gave Iron Tiger a lot of confidence. He received the black gold bow and pulled the string forcefully. In the end, he used all his strength but still could not pull the string.

“Isn’t this bow too difficult to draw? I’m at the sixth level of the Body Refining Realm, but I’m actually unable to draw this powerful bow.” Iron Tiger said in disbelief.

“I’ll try.”

An escort called Six walked over and tried to draw the powerful bow. In the end, he used all his strength and his face turned red. However, he was still unable to draw the powerful bow.

This scene made the escorts extremely curious. They all leaned over and tried to draw the bow.

After a while.

Everyone returned the powerful bow to Iron Dragon dejectedly and sighed helplessly. “This bow is too powerful. I can’t pull it at all.”

“That’s right. We need at least an eighth level Body Refining Realm martial artist to pull it apart. We can’t pull it apart.”

The escorts shook their heads helplessly and sighed at the strength of this powerful bow.

“Brother, why did Young Escort Leader ask you to buy this bow? He’s at the sixth level of the Body Refining Realm like me and definitely can’t pull this bow. Why did he buy this bow?”

The robust Iron Tiger turned its huge head to look at Iron Dragon, his eyes filled with confusion.

“I don’t know. I’m only doing as Young Escort Leader says. Young Escort Leader won’t give orders casually. There must be a reason.”

Iron Dragon shook his head. He was also puzzled and could not figure out the reason.

“Then quickly send it to Young Escort Leader. Don’t delay Young Escort Leader’s matter,” Six hurriedly said and seemed to respect Li Xuan a lot.

“I’ll go now. Hurry up with dinner. Don’t delay Young Escort Leader from eating.” Iron Dragon reminded.

“Alright, Brother.”

Iron Tiger, Six, and the other escorts hurriedly nodded and walked downstairs majestically.

Iron Dragon sent the powerful bow and arrows to Li Xuan.

In the house.

Li Xuan closed the door and brought the bow and arrow to the table in the room. He carefully examined the sharp black gold arrows.

These arrows made of black gold were very firm and sharp. They were also very light and were only a little heavier than wooden arrows.

With the black gold bow and the black gold arrow, he could definitely unleash powerful combat strength.

However, just to be safe, Li Xuan took out a few poison bottles from his pocket and mixed them together to make a mixture. Then, he smeared it on the arrows.

He did this to prevent any accidents. After all, this world was not safe.

No one knew what would appear in the next second. Li Xuan had to ensure that he could face these enemies.

“Master, what’s this?”

Qin Yue blinked her big eyes and leaned over, watching curiously as Li Xuan smeared poison on the arrows.

“This is a poison that can increase the lethality of the arrow,” Li Xuan explained calmly.

“Poison!”

Qin Yue was somewhat afraid when she heard this. She had always lived as a commoner and had never come into contact with such a thing.

“Don’t worry. Although these arrows are poisonous, their function is actually to protect.

“With these arrows, I can better protect myself, my companions, and you. ”

Li Xuan said softly and told Qin Yue his worldview.

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

Qin Yue nodded in confusion. She did not completely understand Li Xuan’s words, but she was willing to believe him.

“Master, I’ll help you,” Qin Yue said softly and seriously.

“Alright, I’ll leave these arrows to you.”

Li Xuan did not stop her. In this dangerous world, every bit of strength was very important. If he could let Qin Yue come into contact with this sooner, it would also allow her to grow better.

Therefore, Li Xuan took out ten arrows and handed them to Qin Yue. He taught her how to apply poison, how to distinguish poison, and how to prevent herself from being poisoned.

Qin Yue’s eyes lit up as she listened. She soaked up Li Xuan’s guidance like a sponge and slowly formed her worldview.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon, it was the second day.

In the morning, the sun was bright and birds chirped.

Li Xuan carried a powerful bow and arrows on his back and a long saber at his waist as he led everyone to the Peony Chamber of Commerce.

The two sides negotiated in the Chamber of Commerce and finally signed an escort contract, promising to send the goods to Zhenbei City in six days.

After signing the contract, everyone escorted a carriage with the flag of the White Cloud Escort Agency out of the city.

There were a total of eleven of them. Other than Qin Yue, who was sitting on the carriage, the others all held long sabers and stood around the carriage to guard.

Everyone had powerful auras and were fully armed. Their journey was very smooth. No one was willing to casually provoke a group of martial artists who were bloodthirsty.

They walked out of White Sheep City majestically and followed the main road towards Zhenbei City. Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people. After walking for ten kilometers, they no longer saw any people passing by.

They could only see the wasteland and the distant forest. Occasionally, they could hear the sounds of insects and birds echoing in the sky.

Li Xuan carried a long bow and arrow bag and walked at the front. His sharp eyes swept in all directions as he led everyone to jog forward quickly.

Other than Qin Yue, the weakest in his team had the strength of the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm. This way of traveling was nothing to them.

They would also rest and stop. They advanced in the day and set up camp at night.

After walking for three days in a row, they finally arrived at the territory of the Golden Feather Bird. At this moment, everyone became solemn.

“Brothers, light up the bird repelling incense. Be smart.” Li Xuan said solemnly from the front.

“Yes! Young Escort Leader.”

The escorts took out the bird repelling incense and lit it. They gripped their long sabers tightly and walked forward solemnly, quickly advancing along the main road.

Qin Yue, who was in the carriage, had already arranged to stay in a wooden box. She hid inside and secretly sized up the outside world through a pair of small holes.

This box was very sturdy. Li Xuan had prepared it in advance to protect Qin Yue.

Everyone quickly walked forward and did not dare to make a sound. Even their breathing became weaker.

However, as they walked, everyone felt that something was wrong.

In the past, the cries of the Golden Feather Birds could already be heard on this road.

However, now, there was actually no sound at all, making everyone puzzled.

With this deep doubt, everyone continued to set off. They gradually arrived near the Golden Feather Mountain and saw the corpses of the Golden Feather Birds everywhere.

These corpses were all covered in saber injuries. Clearly, they had encountered a powerful enemy who was good at using sabers. This also made everyone present heave a sigh of relief.

“That’s great. A large number of Golden Feather Birds have been killed. We don’t have to fight them. We’re too lucky,” Six said in surprise.

“That’s right. After this, we can reach Zhenbei City safely. This money is too easy to earn,” Iron Tiger said happily.

“That’s indeed great.”

The escorts revealed surprised expressions. Only Li Xuan and Uncle Li frowned and did not relax. Instead, they continued forward seriously.

After gradually walking past the main road of Golden Jade Mountain, Li Xuan vaguely heard creaking sounds.

Uncle Li also heard this voice and looked into the grass.

Immediately, a grayish-white Golden Feather Bird corpse appeared in front of him. Black blood vaguely flowed out of the wound.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Li’s pupils constricted as he said in shock, “Run! Run!!”
