C1 (1/2)

Demonic King Valley.

A group of carriages slowly moved forward through the gray fog. Aside from the coachman, each carriage had a strong man on its two sides. The men held long spears in their hands and sabers at their waists. They carefully scanned the surroundings with torch-like eyes. Everyone's expression revealed a sliver of fear within their nervousness. Even their footsteps couldn't help but soften, as if something terrifying would suddenly appear in front of them in the midst of the fog.

Child Ming looked at the thick fog in front of him, then turned around and said to Second Master Ming, ”Second Grandpa, I'm a little scared.”

Second Master Ming rubbed the top of Child Ming's head and smiled, ”What's there to be afraid of? We walk around this place three to four times a year and it's always like this. This is your first time, you can just walk twice. ”

Child Ming nodded his head reluctantly, he turned and continued walking, but Second Elder Ming could see that the child was still subconsciously gripping the blade by his waist.

Second Master Ming stopped and lit up a bag of cigarettes. As he smoked, he watched the convoy pass by in front of him until he saw Mingde, who was standing behind him.

Mingde was in his early thirties, his physique was sturdy and powerful, and his black and red face revealed strong muscles. Hearing second master Ming call him, Mingde ran over quickly and bowed his head to the second master slightly, ”Second master, you called me?”

Second Master Ming creased his eyebrows slightly, ”My son, the demonic mist in the Demonic King Valley is especially large this time.”

Mingde's brows creased, as he nodded his head, ”Yes. Normally, I would be able to tell that he was over thirty meters away, but now, I'm afraid that he isn't even thirty or forty meters away.”

”How many days have we been here?” Second Master Ming asked again.

”It's been three days. We'll be back in a while. After we return to the corner of the horse, we will be out for another day. ” Mingde replied.

Second Master Ming nodded and patted Mingde's shoulder, ”Be careful!”

Mingde nodded heavily, ”Don't worry, Master Er!”

The caravan continued forward for half a day until they arrived at a very large turning point. A cliff extended out in front of them, and the originally not very wide side of the road became even narrower. At this point, the coachman had to get off the carriage and lead the horses. The coachmen had to help pull the carriage back and forth in order to let it pass this extremely narrow area.

This place was the turning point of the horse that Mingde talked about. Legend has it that as long as they passed through this bend, even if they had officially entered the territory of the Devil Kingdom, in order to let people think twice, the God of Heaven had used his divine power to create this place.

Child Ming wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve and looked up with all his might. This cliff was extremely tall, yet it was extremely thin, the thickest part was connected to the mountain, the thinnest part was like a blade, it was truly like a knife splitting and axe chopping.

At this time, Second Master Ming had already arrived. With a smile, he pulled Child Ming to the side and lit up a bag of cigarettes, asking, ”Kid, how was it? Is this trip tiring? ”

Child Ming removed the water sac stopper respectfully and passed both hands over to Second Master Ming. Then, he answered, ”Before I left, my father told me that Ming Family is not for business, but for business. Besides, I'm already sixteen this year, so I might as well go for a walk.

Mingde also came over and laughed, ”It's a good thing that little young master has grown up. You don't need to personally follow me in the future, second master. ”

Second Master Ming laughed and said, ”I am the most familiar with this path, so when this kid reaches twenty years of age, let's just let him fly solo. Son, it's getting late. You will instruct them to set up camp and rest after the horses have passed the curve. Everyone has eaten and drank to their heart's content, so we will be leaving tomorrow morning. Tomorrow night, we will be out of the Demonic King Valley! ”

”Alright!” Mingde cupped his hands towards Second Master Ming and smiled at Child Ming. Then he turned and left to arrange for the rest of the people to eat and rest.

Returning to Ma Bow was blocked by a cliff, so it was a good place to set up camp and rest. In addition, the Ming Family and horse teams were all experts, so before long, they had already set up their tents. Child Ming discovered that this tent was slightly different from the one before. Usually, this tent was placed outside, with the horse carriage inside, so that they could meet bandits and bandits inside to protect the goods. The waiters should also start a fire. They should be joking and making fun of each other. The louder the commotion, the better it would be. However, at this moment, it was the complete opposite. The tent was located at the innermost area, leaning against the mountain wall as it made its way in. The outer ring was made up of horses, while the outer ring was made up of carriages. The twenty odd carriages formed a semicircle around Ming Family's people, trapping them inside. The waiters no longer lit their fires and quietly sat by the tents. They used their hands to tear up their wheat cakes and drank the cold water. In the entire camp, except for the occasional noise made by the horses, no one was even loud enough to speak.

Mingde saw that the Child Ming was confused, he went close to his side and said softly, ”Young master, after we cross the bend of the horse, we will reach the boundary of the Devil Kingdom. Also, there are Demonic Beast running rampant nearby, so we have to be more careful. With the training in Ming Family, one could lose the goods, but one could not lack people. So, as long as we cross the bend in the road, our Ming Family's cavalry will camp out in accordance to this rule.

The Child Ming nodded his head to show that he understood, and did not dare to ask anymore questions. After finishing the wheat cake in his hand, he directly entered the tent.

Second Master Ming walked over to Mingde and said, ”This old man has not seen any Demonic Beast for over thirty years. If a few of them come out occasionally, we can handle them with our Ming Family. You little brat, do you really have to scare him? ”
