Chapter 534: Traveling to Yanzhu city (2/2)

However, along with this pressure, a look of greed had also appeared deep in his eyes, as he looked forward to the reward he would obtain upon completing this mission.

As for the 2.5 meters(8.2ft) tall head of guards, Zou Qiang, he seemed like he didn't care in the slightest whether Shun Long stayed or left, as he kept walking forward, leading the way for the caravan to follow after him.

...

5 days quickly passed, and although Zou Qiang's, Ying Gui's, and the 14 guards' nerves were stretched taut during the entirety of these 5 days and nights, not a single mishap happened throughout their journey.

At this point, both Ying Gui as well as his 14 guards, had all finally started to relax, knowing that they were less than a 2-day journey away from reaching their destination.

As soon as they reached Yanzhu city, it didn't matter if anyone found out about their caravan since they would be provided with protection from their employer no matter what happened.

And yet, not only was Shun Long not feeling relieved that nothing had happened in these last 5 days, but the look in his eyes was even more serious than before.

He understood that if they were going to be attacked, today was the most likely day for it to happen.

Their enemies wouldn't be dumb enough to wait until they reached Yanzhu city to do so.

It seemed that Zou Qiang had also realized this point as well, and after turning around and seeing that the expressions of his subordinates had started to soften, he then shouted in a serious voice that was filled with unconcealed anger

''Did we reach Yanzhu city yet? Why the hell are you idiots acting relaxed? If we are going to be ambushed, it's definitely going to happen today! Those fuckers won't wait for us to deliver the magic beasts before they make their move!''

The relaxed expressions instantly disappeared from the guards' faces as they realized that their captain was correct! Indeed, they had been feeling relaxed today after walking on a thin line for the past 5 days that had made their minds mentally exhausted.

Since they had been waiting to be attacked at any time during the past 5 days, only for nothing to end up happening in the end, it gave them a false sense of security that they were finally in the clear.

However, Zou Qiang's words quickly brought them back to the cruel reality of things. And yet, the guards didn't seem to despair as they also realized the hidden meaning behind their captain's words, making them feel invigorated and put aside their exhaustion as the 14 guards all shouted at the same time

''Yes, captain!''

Indeed, if they managed to pass the day safely, they would finally be clear of any danger.
