Lord of the Star Ocean

Yanshan business group is a local business group.

The so-called local business group refers to the business group established on this planet. The Haoyuan Star belongs to the wild immigrant star, so the Yanshan Business Group is not a branch of any big business group, and its strength is not large.

However, local business groups have the advantages of local business groups. As the saying goes, small boats are easy to turn around. Business groups like Yanshan business group are often very flexible in operation, and they are rooted in the local area.

The middle-aged warrior who warmly invited Nie Feng to join the caravan was called Zhao Hong, the leader of the caravan's guards, and the caravan's destination was Shao'an City, two thousand miles away.

This Yanshan caravan just came from Yongning City, and it was a coincidence that they met Nie Feng on the road, because their original destination was another immigrant city, so they took a different path.

The caravan transported a lot of goods, mainly tea, medicinal materials, refined salt and spices, etc., and there were dozens of passengers heading to Shao'an City.

On the wild star, it is very difficult for ordinary people to travel from one city to another, especially if the distance is long, it can be called an adventure trip, so it must be protected.

Caravans often undertake the task of escorting passengers while transporting goods to earn extra profits.

Of course, Nie Feng, who was temporarily invited to join on the way, did not need to pay this money.

Uncle Zhao, why did you invite him to accompany you?

After Nie Feng joined the caravan, a young guard asked Zhao Hong suspiciously, Aren't you afraid he's a spy?

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Nie Feng who was following the caravan not far away, his eyes were full of vigilance.

How could he be a spy!

Zhao Hong couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, Even the Black Flame Bandits can't send out such spies.

The Black Fire Bandits are a well-known band of horse thieves on Haoyuan Star. They often rob houses and attack business travelers. Although the imperial army stationed in Haoyuan Star has encircled and suppressed them several times, they have not been able to completely wipe them out.

Although Haoyuan Star is a new immigrant star, horse thieves and bandits have existed for a long time. The sources of these bandits are very complicated, including criminal warriors, defected soldiers, bankrupt nobles, hunters and treasure hunters, etc. They are mainly concentrated in the relatively open plains and hills in the northwest of Haoyuan City.

The horse bandits did not have the strength to storm the heavily fortified city, and only attacked the passing merchants and the manor farmers on the outskirts of the city. Their crimes came and went like the wind, and they were cunning.

In the past, there have been cases where horse bandits sent spies to infiltrate business groups, and then cooperated inside and outside on the way.

So the suspicion of the young guard was not unreasonable.

And he was a little upset seeing Nie Feng.

But Zhao Hong didn't take it seriously, because this area is not the activity area of ​​the horse bandit group, and no spy would join the business group in such a conspicuous way.

Most importantly, he couldn't see through Nie Feng's strength and cultivation.

As a senior star warrior, Zhao Hong couldn't perceive the fluctuation of star energy on Nie Feng's body. The reason may be that Nie Feng is an ordinary person, but this possibility is too low and can be ignored directly.

The second is that Nie Feng's cultivation base is too high, so that it is difficult for Zhao Hong to spy on him, but a strong person at that level will never be so young, and there are other characteristics that can be seen.

Then the only explanation in the end is that Nie Feng practiced a skill that can shield the fluctuation of star energy!

The technique of shielding star energy fluctuations is not a popular technique, and Nie Feng concealed it extremely well. Zhao Hong could clearly sense his extraordinaryness, but he couldn't see any problems. It must be a high-level technique.

However, high-level exercises are usually only in the hands of great sects, wealthy families or empires, and ordinary casual practitioners cannot obtain them at all.

In addition, Nie Feng is fully armed and sits on a green horned horse, so Zhao Hong naturally regards him as a disciple of a sect or a family member who is going out to practice, so he is so politely invited.

On the one hand, it can increase the combat power of the caravan, and on the other hand, it can form a good relationship, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

It's just that it's difficult for Zhao Hong to explain the key points to the young guard beside him, but with him as a guarantee, even the steward of the caravan will not object.

Like a drop of water falling into a deep pool, Nie Feng's joining did not cause much disturbance in the caravan. The wheels rolled forward, although the speed was not as fast as Nie Feng riding a Mercedes-Benz, but it was not very slow.

Traveling on the barbaric star, slow speed means increased danger. Unless the slow caravan is large in scale and extremely strong, it will not be able to survive in the barren land.

The Yanshan caravan only had more than 30 guards, and Zhao Hong, the most powerful man, was only as high-level as Baiyin. Of course, he didn't have that kind of willful qualification. Their trucks were not very heavy, and the traveling carriages were all light.

When night fell, the caravan set up camp beside a lake.

The campsite was well chosen, far away from the wild beasts, and close to the water source with a wide view, so you don’t have to worry about being attacked by the enemy. The people in the caravan surrounded the carriages and built a simple barrier.

Relying on this defense alone is obviously far from enough. A gray-robed man came out of the carriage and buried bronze-colored metal discs around the temporary camp.

Nie Feng looked at Xin Xin, and couldn't help asking Zhao Hong curiously: Do you still have an astrologer in your caravan?

The opponent's actions are clearly setting up a magic circle!

Zhao Hong smiled and said, Our small caravan can't afford to hire astrologer...

It turned out that this gray-robed man was an apprentice astrologer belonging to the merchant group. He was holding a refined formation plate in his hand, and was responsible for arranging temporary defensive star formations.

The wild star is too dangerous, the caravan travels in the wild for a long time, without the protection of the star array at night, it is too easy to be destroyed by a sudden attack.

Local business groups like the Yanshan Merchant Group can't afford a few astrologers, so they often hire star tower apprentices who are much cheaper, and disperse them among the caravans with specially purchased array disks.

Even though it was just a temporary star array, it was enough to protect the caravan from most threats. As long as they didn't run into high-level wild beasts or powerful horse bandits, they were generally safe.

Of course, whether it is hiring star tower apprentices, purchasing array disks, and maintaining them, all are expensive.

Zhao Hong's detailed explanation gave Nie Feng a small eye-opener, and he couldn't help but agree with the truth that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles-how could he see such a thing in Nanyuan City.

Zhao Hong secretly murmured in his heart, logically speaking, this kind of basic common sense should be known by the disciples of the sect or the family, perhaps because Nie Feng is too young.
