Chapter 2705
: A Slight Hostility
Chapter 2705 A hint of hostility
The entire convoy was not moving very fast, and the road was rough and bumpy, just like riding a rocking car. Fortunately, although these vehicles were added in a hurry, they were of good quality and were all off-road models, so there were no vehicles that broke down.
Following the leading car, there was no road to speak of. There were just a line of more than 20 vehicles moving forward one after another.
In the darkness of night, the car lights could reach quite far, but all I could see was a desolate scene with almost no plants.
Of course, there are still small animals, but they are very rare. Even because of the sound of cars, you can occasionally see some shining eyes flashing in the distance, but you don’t know what animals they are.
At this time, Ouyang Ruoxi had already returned to the car driven by Chen Mo. The two of them were sitting in the car, and Chen Mo was still responsible for driving.
His car had been left in the Ouyang family. The car he was driving now was the one that the Ouyang family had provided him. The back seat and trunk of the car were filled with supplies. There were food, drinks, tents, etc. Anyway, he had enough supplies for the adventure.
Chen Mo was still driving at the back of the convoy, shaking as he said to Ouyang Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, has our eldest aunt figured out who the people who attacked the convoy are?"
Ouyang Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Chen Mo and said, "That's my great aunt."
Chen Mo was a little confused for a moment. Girl, did you understand the point? He wanted to ask about the people who attacked the convoy, not who his aunt was. But seeing Ouyang Ruoxi's slightly raised mouth, he was also happy.
When you like someone, you can't hide it. Even a girl like Ouyang Ruoxi, who is usually very cold, can't help but show her inner thoughts on her face.
"Drive, what are you looking at me for? Besides, the road is very bumpy, so you'd better be careful about the road conditions and don't let the car get stuck in the potholes." Ouyang Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Chen Mo again and said.
Chen Mo agreed immediately, then thought, he already had the talisman, why not use it?
He thought and did it, and then he secretly reached out and took out a talisman and used it directly on the car he was driving. After that, the bumpiness of the car immediately decreased and became much better.
"Huh? The car doesn't seem to be too bumpy." Ouyang Ruoxi observed for a while and then said, "Are we entering a relatively flat road?"
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe."
However, looking at the shaking of the car in front, Ouyang Ruoxi felt a little strange. The car in front was shaking so much, but the car he was sitting in was not shaking much. Could it be that it was not because the road was flat, but because of Chen Mo's driving skills?
Fortunately, Ouyang Ruoxi didn't worry too much. As long as she paid more attention while driving and avoided some potholes, the bumps in the car would be much better.
"My aunt didn't say who attacked us just now, so we can't tell yet. Also, we have had little contact with the attackers, so we don't have any evidence." After Ouyang Ruoxi thought for a moment, she continued, "Also, my aunt has arranged some people to investigate this matter. Now, we're still focusing on exploring. We'll talk about the attack after we get out."
Chen Mo nodded and said, "That's the only way. But I'm sure we'll have many twists and turns this time."
When Ouyang Ruoxi heard this, she turned to look at Chen Mo and said, "Do you suspect that the family that is going on the adventure together might be the one that attacked us?"
"Yes. I feel it is very likely, but I can't tell which family it is. In addition, not many families knew about the time period between receiving the expedition information and setting off, so it will be interesting to know who attacked us." Chen Mo said.
Ouyang Ruoxi was silent for a moment. She naturally understood what Chen Mo said. But she couldn't judge which family it was. Why did these families attack their family?
"Your suspicion is reasonable, but why did they attack us? If we go on an adventure, wouldn't it be good to have more manpower?" Ouyang Ruoxi asked.
"You told me that the purpose of this expedition was to discover advanced elixirs related to innateness and some precious minerals, but because the expedition site was somewhat dangerous, there was such a joint expedition?" Chen Mo asked.
"Yes, that's right." Ouyang Ruoxi said.
"That is to say, if we can gain a lot from this expedition, or even obtain treasures that can help us advance to the next level, what do you think will happen?" Chen Mo thought of this and suspected that one of the families that went on the expedition together might have developed intentions towards the Ouyang family.
Ouyang Ruoxi didn't reply for a while, but she felt like the clouds had been cleared and the sun had come out. Chen Mo's suspicion was absolutely correct, and it might be the answer.
Because the families going on the adventure this time are basically from the northwest. Although they are related by marriage, they are also competitors. If someone from the Ouyang family advances to the innate realm, what will happen to other families?
Just as Ouyang Ruoxi was lost in thought, the vehicle in front had already driven into a relatively open area, which was a valley.
In the valley, there was a lot of noise, people coming and going, and there were dots of lights, as if we had entered a small habitat. "We're here!" a voice came from the intercom.
"Are we there already?" Ouyang Ruoxi woke up and looked ahead.
"Yeah, we finally got through the bumpy road and arrived." Chen Mo followed the car in front and parked the car at the side of the valley entrance. There were many cars parked here, which were those that had arrived at the family.
After Chen Mo and Ouyang Ruoxi got off the car, Ouyang Nan was already talking to an old man. Next to him were Ouyang Min and several other people from unknown families.
Ouyang Ruoxi looked at Ouyang Nan and whispered to Chen Mo, "The person who is talking to my aunt now is Han Weicheng, the third elder of the Han family, and also a master who has reached the tenth level of acquired strength." However, after saying this, she looked at Chen Mo and was a little speechless again. The person next to her was an innate master, and the Special Management Bureau had already notified people from various families.
Therefore, if the tenth level of the acquired realm is called a master, then what can the person next to you be called?
But I was also very happy in my heart, because the man I chose was so capable, which also showed that I had good vision.
Chen Mo didn't need Ouyang Ruoxi to tell him, he could see that the old man's strength was already at the tenth level of the acquired realm. However, he frowned, and when his spiritual sense swept over, he found that although the old man had a smile on his face, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he seemed to be hostile to Ouyang Nan and others.
There is absolutely no way his spiritual sense could be wrong, especially such a subtle expression, which was definitely in his control.
Of course, he also knew that there were innate masters in this camp, so he tried to compress his spiritual sense as much as possible and not cover the entire camp.
After all, the sixth sense of a congenital master is also very sharp, and some of them even have high mental power, so in order to be the sixth, it is better not to be discovered as much as possible.
Seeing this, he seemed to feel that it was possible that the Han family attacked the Ouyang family. However, it was a bit unreasonable to judge it based on this hostility alone. Perhaps it was reasonable for Han Weicheng to have personal hostility towards the Ouyang family.
We still need to observe more about this.
Seeing that all the members of the Ouyang family had gotten off the car, Han Weicheng glanced at the members of the Ouyang family and found that the only ones he was familiar with were Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Min, as well as several other acquired high-level members of the Ouyang family. He didn't recognize any of the other members.
Of course, as the elder of the Han family, he couldn't possibly know the ordinary members of the Ouyang family. After seeing them, he said to Ouyang Nan, "Are all the members of your Ouyang family already here?"
Ouyang Nan glanced at all the family members, looked at Ouyang Ruoxi and Chen Mo in particular, then turned to Han Weiye and said, "It's all ready."
"Okay, follow me. I will take you to a resting place. After you are settled, come with me to pay a visit to the Qian family's patriarch, Qian Ying, who is the leader of this team." Han Weicheng said.
"What? The one who came from the Qian family is Elder Qian Ying?" Ouyang Nan asked in surprise. Ouyang Min next to him was also shocked.
This Elder Qian Ying, the two of them were deafening. They had heard of Elder Qian Ying since they were young, but since they had no chance, they naturally had no way to meet him. Without doing it this time first, they were able to meet him here, and you can imagine how excited they were.
"Haha, the fact that Elder Qian Ying is the chief leader naturally shows that this expedition is very important and may also yield great gains. Therefore, each family in our northwest has arranged masters from their own family to serve as team leaders. And the Qian family, as the initiator of the expedition, naturally attaches more importance to it." Han Weiye said as he led the team forward.
"Elder Han, can you introduce several families that are coming this time and who are the leaders of each family?" Ouyang Nan asked. Knowing the members and leaders of each family is also for better cooperation. Besides, it can also help family members open their eyes and avoid any conflicts.
"Okay! Then I'll give you a brief introduction." Han Weicheng said, "There are a total of five families participating in this expedition, namely the Qian family and the Ma family in the northwest, as well as our Han family and your Ouyang family, and the Zhou family in the southwest. The leader of the Qian family is Elder Qian Ying, a third-level Xiantian master. The leader of the Ma family is Ma Sanxing, a first-level Xiantian master. The leader of the Zhou family is Zhou Zixing, a second-level Xiantian master. I am the leader of our Han family."
"Oh? I know everything about our Northwestern family, but why would the Southwestern Zhou family get involved?" Ouyang Nan asked.
"Haha!" Han Chengye said with a smile, "Because the Zhou family has a congenital master, and they also knew about the Qian family's discovery through some channels, they wanted to participate, so they contacted us. Since the Han family and the Zhou family are related by marriage, we recommended the Zhou family to the Qian family."
Han Chengye briefly explained the reason why the Zhou family joined. The main reason was that anyone could find out the truth by asking around, so there was no need to hide it.
