Chapter 983: The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger
In charge of absolute resources, but without intervening in any disputes.
But Huo Tianlei's heart was turbulent at the moment, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. His mission is to quell the dispute between humans and demons, and if he wants to achieve this goal, there is only one way, and that is to get the right to speak in the Human Realm Monk Alliance.
That is, the position of the leader of this alliance, only when he becomes the leader of the Monk Alliance, he is qualified to talk to the Demon Sect.
If you want to make the other party obedient, of course, you must first beat the other party.
But in this situation, there are only 500 people left in the Dongyi Sect, and it is already more difficult to compete with the two factions of Pan Lin and Gusu, not to mention the treacherous and cunning Jiang Wen.
"Okay, I know, in a few days, five hundred Dongyi disciples will arrive in Shacheng, you go and stop all the Fengleilou pharmacies in Shacheng and Jingcheng, and let them accumulate elixirs for emergencies. Although Huo Tianlei didn't come up with any good coping strategies, he still knew what to do when it came to planning.
With so many monks gathered in the Western Regions, the elixir must be the strongest resource, so take the vital materials first and then make other plans.
"The subordinates obeyed. The owner of the teahouse got up and gave up his hand, and immediately sent a message to inform Shacheng and Jingcheng that thousands of pharmacies were closed and stockpiled.
When Huo Tianlei left the teahouse with the four Dongyi disciples, he passed by the front hall. Before I even entered the door, I heard the sound of an argument inside.
As soon as I entered, I saw a female monk dressed in a purple robe with embroidered trim, an apricot yellow silk scarf around her waist, and a silver ornament with beaded flowers on her head. Angrily, he poured a cup of tea on the face of a big-shouldered and round-waisted monk Pan Lin on the opposite side.
"You bastard! We Wind Wing Faction, we just want to contribute to the human world to join your Pan Lin faction, and you still want me to sleep with you, it's really shameless. The friar's voice was so loud that all the eyes of everyone in the teahouse were on them.
"Hmph! That's so nice, if you weren't short of supplies and couldn't afford to stay here, how could you choose a camp now? Let you accompany Lao Tzu for one night, that's to look up to you, and you dare to splash me with tea, I think you are impatient. Brother Pan Lin, who was splashed with tea, became furious, and while he opened his mouth to insult, his arms had already begun to charge with energy, and his palms instantly gathered a basin-sized cloud of energy light.
The female monk of the Wind Wing faction was also unambiguous, Liu Mei retreated sideways, charged her energy, folded her palms and slowly opened her arms, and a rapidly rotating whirlwind instantly rose in her arms.
It can be seen that neither side has any intention of making a real move, but the smell of gunpowder between them is getting stronger and stronger.
"Hey, a few guest officers, our small shop can't stand your divine power, we want to learn, the desert outside the city is boundless, isn't there a lot of fun, a few noble hands, don't spoil everyone drinking tea and chatting Yaxing." Seeing this, the teahouse Xiaoer hurriedly went up to play the round, and these two people didn't want to really do it, so they simply took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.
Brother Pan Lin gathered his spiritual power and threw his sleeves away, leaving only the head of the Wind Wing with a frustrated face and several female disciples around her full of anxiety.
"It's really unreasonable, those male monks don't have a good thing, let's go to Jingcheng, I guess the night won't be good. ”
"But my lord, there is no place for us outside the city, and besides, our supply night will not last for a few days. ”
"Alas, it's really not good, let's go to the Demon Slayer Alliance, it's also a force in the human world, and when the Demon Sect invades, we can also contribute to the human world."
”
"It seems that this is the only way to go. ”
Several Fengyi disciples and their heads whispered, but Huo Tianlei, who walked past them, listened to them word for word.
Out of the hall door of the teahouse, Huo Tianlei turned his head and gave a look to the four Dongyi disciples behind him.
The four Dongyi disciples instantly comprehended, turned around and returned to the teahouse, and brought out the few Wind Wing Monks.
"This is the head of our Dongyi Sect. "A disciple of Dongyi, with a gentle attitude, introduced Huo Tianlei to the head of the Wind Wing faction.
"Oh, the Dongyi Sect has actually changed to a male leader, don't you know what to do with me?" The head of the Wind Wing faction looked Huo Tianlei up and down with suspicion.
"That's right, I'm Huo Tianlei, the head of the Dongyi sect, I saw everything in the teahouse just now, I don't know, is the head of the Fengyi sect interested in fighting side by side with me Dongyi?" Huo Tianlei showed his intention straight to the point, but his eyes carefully captured the change in the expression on his face.
"Master Huo, I think you have misunderstood, we don't want to fight side by side with anyone, but we urgently need to solve the current embarrassing situation, although the Dongyi Sect is the second among the four major factions in the four seas and eight wildernesses, but I don't know the situation here when I come from afar. When the head of the wind wing heard that Huo Tianlei wanted to win her over, he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It turned out that before, since the news of the alliance between the three factions spread, a large number of monks had gathered near a salt lake between the oasis of Shacheng and Jingcheng.
Most of these monks are the forces of small sects, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and there are tens of thousands of people who have gathered together. They are all resistance forces in the human world, and they are worried that they will not be able to resist after the Demon Sect launches an offensive, so they come to join the three major factions that are about to form an alliance.
But they knew very well that before the three major factions reached an alliance, there would be a fierce fight. They don't want to fall prey, so they have been entrenched in the Lingshi mining area of the salt lake.
Although Pan Lin and the Gusu faction have been co-opted many times, they have always been in a wait-and-see attitude.
With the abundant resources of the Lingshi mining area as a guarantee, they are at ease.
However, in the past two days, traces of the activities of the Demon Sect have suddenly appeared in the Salt Lake mining area, and monks who have entered the mine have often disappeared inexplicably. At night, the camp was often attacked by monsters, which made these monks panic, and the weak faction forces had to seek refuge as a last resort.
Although the Dongyi faction is the second of the four major factions in the world, it has no place to come from the original way. Of course, it will not be the object of these small factions.
"Since this is the case, then I, Huo Tianlei, will not force it, but if your faction wants to take refuge in the future, our Dongyi Sect is welcome at any time. Knowing the specific situation, Huo Tianlei suddenly thought about it.
"Then I won't bother here, take my leave!" the head of the Wind Wing faction bowed in return, turned around and left with his men.
Huo Tianlei looked at her back, and began to think about how to strengthen his momentum.
"Master, why don't you keep them? We can obviously give them the supplies and shelter they need, although there are countless monks in these worlds and desolations, but there are few female monks, our faction wants to have a say in the alliance, at least in terms of numbers, it can't be too far behind. The Dongyi disciples behind Huo Tianlei saw that Huo Tianlei had given up on the Fengyi faction so easily, and his face was suddenly full of relief
Regret.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before you will be able to command tens of thousands of monks, and only female monks? Huo Tianlei hooked his lips and smiled, and the spirit of the spirit took four Dongyi disciples into the air and went straight to the salt lake mining area outside the city.
Clear blue sky, faint white clouds.
The white salt lake reflects the beautiful sky. At a glance, it looks like a silver ribbon embedded in the depths of the desert.
The vast salt lake is flanked by desolate and bare mountains, except that the foothills of those mountains are covered with sparse trees.
Abandoned camps abound at the foot of the mountain, and the monks who had gathered here had moved their camps to the steep halfway up the mountain. Although it is a resource-poor place, it has a wide field of vision and is conducive to defense.
Obviously, they have been attacked by those monsters, and some of the grass and trees are all soldiers.
"Well, this is indeed a treasure of feng shui, and our camp is here. Huo Tianlei converged his spiritual power and landed on the ground, in front of him was a spiritual stone mine cave, and behind him was a large abandoned camp.
With everything you need to camp here, and a spring nearby for water, it's definitely a great campsite.
"Master, haven't we already settled down in Sand City? What's more, the camp here has been abandoned, and it must be the hardest hit area by monsters, even if we want to camp here, we need our brigade to arrive to establish an effective defense, I'm afraid it won't work now." When several Dongyi disciples heard Huo Tianlei say that they wanted to camp here, they immediately opened their mouths full of worry to persuade them.
In their opinion, now that they have arrived in the Western Regions, they should actively contact the other two major factions to discuss the formation of an alliance.
But Huo Tianlei's state has obviously thrown the alliance out of the clouds.
"Piaopiao and they will need five or six days to arrive, we just use this time to strengthen our momentum, I don't want to speak without confidence in front of the heads of the two factions of Gusu and Panlin. Huo Tianlei looked at the footprints of the monsters on the ground that led directly to the spiritual stone cave, and responded thoughtfully.
"However, with only the five of us, it is impossible to defend this camp?" Several Dongyi disciples couldn't figure out what Huo Tianlei wanted to do.
"These monks, although there are a large number of them, but there are definitely not a few who have really dealt with the armed forces of these demon sects, otherwise, they will not give up the ideal camp and retreat to the mountainside because of these low-level monsters, they are condescending, they will definitely be able to see the situation here clearly, as long as we camp here overnight and unharmed, they will definitely run down the next day. Huo Tianlei listened to the words of a few Dongyi disciples, and immediately hooked his lips and smiled, looked up at the mountainside, and spoke quietly.
"Low-level monsters, master, you mean. "The four Dongyi disciples who followed Huo Tianlei have certainly not been in contact with the forces of the Demon Sect.
I only know that ordinary monks, if their eyes glow red, it is a demonic characteristic.
"The reason why the Demon Sect makes the cultivators of the human realm feel frightened is because these monsters who don't know the fear of pain, when they don't receive the attack order, they will only follow the survival instinct to act, you see, the footprints on this ground lead directly to the spirit stone mine, that is to say, they are just to obtain the spirit stone in the cave, we put the camp, next to the entrance of this mine, we should be able to spend tonight safely. "Huo Tianlei is no stranger to the monsters of the Demon Sect.
