C90 Warning from Little Blue

A road of several meters wide was winding like a dragon stretching across lofty mountains and ridges.

At dusk, the sound of rolling wheels slowly echoed out, and a convoy of 12 carriages slowly arrived. Each carriage was tied up with a large wooden chest. Around the carriages, there were over thirty riders, all young men and women.

"Come on, everyone! In half an hour, we'll reach Phoenix City. When we get there, all of your wages will increase by 50%." A middle-aged man with a friendly face laughed loudly on the carriage at the front.

"Alright!"

A chorus of agreement broke out among the surrounding people, and they all revealed smiles on their faces.

Phoenix City was at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, which was also the destination of the convoy.

However, whether it was the middle-aged man or the surrounding youths, when they were joking, their eyes inadvertently glanced at a silent black-clothed youth in the convoy.

He wore a yellow mask on his face, revealing only his mouth, nose and eyes. Strangely, however, his eyes had been closed for at least twenty hours a day.

The black-robed youth was none other than Tang Huan.

After staying in Crescent City for the night, Tang Huan bought a horse, a tent, and some rations early the next morning, and left Crescent City.

He did not plan to travel alone. It would take him ten days to travel from Crescent City to Phoenix City. On the way, he would need to pass through countless forests and not have any towns to rest. He could also encounter with groups of beasts. It would be extremely dangerous to travel alone.

Relatively speaking, it would be much safer to find someone to travel with.

Once he reached the north side of the city, he bumped into this convoy that was recruiting guards. Their requirement was quite simple: one had to be at least a Stage Four Martial Master. A Stage Four Martial Master could earn 100 gold coins for this job; while a Stage Five Martial Master - 400 gold coins.

Tang Huan happened to be a Stage Four Martial Master, so without any hesitation, he immediately joined.

Although a hundred gold coins was not a big deal, but in the journey ahead, with many Martial Warriors accompanying him and also receiving a reward, why not?

Around noon, the convoy gathered their men and began to set off.

The convoy had originally had thirteen people, all are Stage Four Martial Masters, except the middle-aged owner who was a Stage Five Martial Master. Amongst the recruited people, Tang Huan and other twenty two were Stage Four Martial Masters; the only Stage Five Martial Master was a young man called Yin Fei.

On the first day, everyone got along quite well.

On the second day, Tang Huan discovered that there were some changes to his face, and thus, he put on the mask that he had prepared earlier. However, his actions caused everyone to be suspicious. Even the middle-aged man had a trace of wariness in his eyes when he looked at Tang Huan.

Tang Huan did not mind.

If he didn't wear the mask, his look would change every day, which would most likely cause everyone to be even more suspicious. Moreover, he left alone for a while every evening to refine the gems for Little Blue. This similarly made everyone suspicious of him.

In any case, he was destined to be suspected anyway. Thus, he might as well wear a mask.

After that, no one spoke with Tang Huan anymore. He was happy to be away from noises, and continuously refined the Pure Yang Bead every day, not stopping even when he was on horseback.

The heat emitted by the Pure Yang Bead was extremely wonderful. Not only could it increase the True Fire, it could also increase the strength of the Genuine Qi at an extremely obvious rate.

In ten days, within Tang Huan's Dantian, the second Spiritual Wheel was already in its initial form.

Tang Huan reckoned that if he continued this kind of cultivation, in at most another ten days, he would reach great success in the second Spiritual Wheel and be promoted to a Stage Five Martial Master.

At that time, the Pure Yang Bead would not even have half the heat of it being refined, and the remaining heat would be enough for him to condense the third Spiritual Wheel and become a Stage Six Martial Master!

Thinking of this, Tang Huan felt extremely grateful towards Shan Shan.

"She should have left Furious Waves City by now."

As the image of Shan Shan's flawless face flashed in his mind, Tang Huan's heart could not help but throb, but in an instant, a sense of loss surfaced from the bottom of his heart.

Tang Huan was quite interested in this beautiful woman who came from a mysterious background.

When he bid his farewell to her, Tang Huan had wanted to invite her to go with him to Phoenix Mountain. The words were already on his lips but he resisted. He could feel that Shan Shan did indeed plan to leave Furious Waves City, but didn't have the intention to stay by his side.

Since that was the case, they might as well part from each other.

Tang Huan let out a light breath, suppressing the charming feeling at the bottom of his heart.

"Yiya!"

Suddenly, an almost inaudible cry sounded.

"Little Blue is awake?"

After being stunned for a short while, Tang Huan was overjoyed. He stealthily galloped his horse and hid behind a young man, avoiding the gazes of everyone in front. He then gently lifted the cloth sack on his chest, only to discover that the little guy was still sleeping soundly, and was only mumbling nonstop.

Although its cries were as soft as a mosquito's buzz, Tang Huan could feel a trace of anxiety within its shouts.

"Could it be that there's danger ahead?"

A thought emerged in Tang Huan's mind. He had been together with Little Blue for so many days, he could easily judge the meaning behind its voice.

"I understand. You can sleep in peace."

Tang Huan muttered softly. His palm went deep into the cloth bag and gently stroked its head a few times. Little Blue seemed to understand his words and immediately quietened down, continuing its sleep.

After ten days, most of the gems in the wooden box had been used up.

Although Little Blue had yet to open its eyes, the color of its Golden Horn had become even brighter, and it had clearly recovered by quite a bit. If not, it would not have been able to sense danger while it was sleeping, and use its voice to warn Tang Huan.

Tang Huan raised his head to look, the sun had already set and the sky was turning dark.

"Take the money and do the job."

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Huan spurred his horse forward.

After all, he had already received half of the wages before the convoy was setting out. He should warn the others. It would be good for all of them.

However, his action immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Little brother, what's the matter?" Seeing Tang Huan approaching, the middle aged man chuckled and asked, but his eyes revealed a sense of vigilance.

"Boss Du, we have to be careful. I'm afraid there's danger ahead." Tang Huan slowly said.

"Oh? Danger?"

The middle-aged man smiled. He didn't ask further, but a trace of ridicule seemed to flash within his eyes as he cupped his hands and said, "Thanks, little brother, for your kindness!"
