The old leader has a total of four sons, but only the eldest and the second have survived so far, and these two sons are twins, and the second is still a beast parent, that is, they can only maintain the form of a giant elephant, so it is almost indisputable that Tamu Guzi inherited his father's business and became the patriarch.

He is only over 700 years old this year, and he is in the prime of life and strong-blooded, and he does not want to let the Qi Nan Sect merge under the hidden stream, so he turned his face and tore up the agreement, planning to lead the clan all the way to the northeast.

Originally, the old leader was still alive, and he was still somewhat restrained, and the discussion about surrender in the sect was also divided into two factions. Now that he has returned to the west, the intention of the Qi Nan Sect to move will definitely be more firm.

What's worse is that now Yinliu is fully focused on this eastern crusade, and he has no time to take care of the northeast front.

Speaking of the main reason why Changtian wants to incorporate the Qi Nan Sect into the hidden stream, it can be reflected in the old leader: the Qi Nan Elephant Clan is a relatively prolific demon species, even if the old leader has a deep Taoism, he can give birth to three sons, while ordinary females of the Qi Nan Clan can give birth to one son every forty years on average.

Of course, this speed can't be compared to mortals, but compared to other demon species, this is already its incomparably high fertility rate.

The Qi Nan Sect itself is strong in battle, and the number of new people in the tribe is large and fast, which means that the same demon species can appear in formation...... This is not easy, many monsters are difficult to reproduce, such as Qingluan, Qizai such as high-level bird demons, may not see their own kind in a lifetime, even in the hidden stream, only the number of wolf demons and insect demons can draw a neat phalanx.

Therefore, if Yin Liu can bring the Qi Nan Sect under his command, his strength will also improve greatly.

Ning Xiaoxian thought for a while and said, "Then according to the customs of the Qi Nan Sect. The corpse of the old leader will be laid to rest for seven days after bathing, and then buried in the ancestral cave. That is, within seven days from today. The Qi Nan Sect could not leave the settlement and move eastward. ”

This girl's homework is also very meticulous. Chang Tian waved away the demon guard, paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and suddenly asked, "Yes, this time is in our favor." Where has the caravan under Dou Jun, under the banner of the Fuyao Immortal Sect, gone now?"

She remembered this very well, and she didn't need to look through the report to know: "I have entered the land of Yunlong, and there are still six days away from the territory of Qi Nan Sect." Well. I'm talking about the speed of the ground traders. "Why did Changtian ask about this, could it be......

She thought for a moment and said, "The goods carried in this car are three hundred sets of frog battle armor. Thirty grains in a bottle, a total of 600 bottles of Jisheng Dan, well, there are also 2,300 catties of fruits such as melons and Fengshui pears produced in the Qilin Basin. She shrugged her shoulders, "The territory of the Qi Nan Sect is more than the Gobi Desert and the Rock Beach. In particular, it is indicated that the elephants prefer fruits that are not produced in this kind of territory. "Someone else's caravan. All the valuables were transported, only Dou second-hand was this one, but the special cart was full of fruits!

The elephants of the Qi Nan Sect are more than a few zhang tall, and the tallest of them, such as the brother beast relatives ridden by Duomugu, are more than twelve zhang (thirty-seven meters) tall, and mortals look up to it like a giant mountain, and the amount of food is naturally extremely large. At least 900 catties of food should be eaten in one meal. Ordinary elephants can eat some tender grass and young leaves, and the body of the giant elephant in Qinan is like a mountain. Abundant in strength, it is regarded as a strange species between monsters and beasts, and more than a dozen spirit fruits must be eaten every meal, and red mud is chewed once every half a month, and about 100 catties are ingested at a time.

To feed these big stomach kings, Qi Nanzong was also very troubled. If the Qi Nan Sect is classified into the hidden stream, then it will be her turn to worry about this child's heart.

Therefore, these two thousand catties of foreign specialties are difficult for the caravan to transport, in fact, it is not enough to even give the giant beasts a tooth sacrifice, they can only taste the umami. Dou Er's mind was active, and he just bought these fruits that couldn't be sold for a lot of money but were luscious, but he tied the stomach of the giant elephant tightly, and every month or so, he was hungry, and if he couldn't eat it, he would make a fuss. However, if the fruit is not carefully preserved, it will rot, and the selling price is still cheap, except for Dou Er's caravan, who else is willing to do this loss-making business? Therefore, the Qi Nan Sect also maintains a good trading partnership with this caravan that is ostensibly under the banner of the Fuyao Immortal Sect.

"Hmm. Changtian replied lightly, "Tell Dou Er, we will enter this merchant team after the oath meeting and go to the Qi Nan Sect." Get the people in the team ready. ”

She was slightly surprised: "We, are we going to Qi Nan Sect first?" Chang Tian actually went to Qi Nan Sect in person at such an important juncture as the Fifth Army set off to ask for Guangcheng Palace!

"Exactly!" Changtian said with a solemn face: "This change in the Qi Nan Sect is the opportunity I have been waiting for, but unfortunately it is not the right time. I had thought that the old chief would be able to drag on for another month and die anyway. I didn't expect ...... Well, it doesn't hurt, it is still early to cross half of the Southern Ganbu Continent from the Ba Snake Forest to the Guangcheng Palace. After we finish dealing with the affairs of the Qi Nan Sect, it is not too late to catch up with the army. ”

She bit her lip slightly, obviously still thinking about the change: "Just the two of us?"

"Naturally not. Changtian shook his head and said, "After the urgent business of the past two days is completed, you will follow me to meet someone first, and you will understand why I chose to take a trip to the Qi Nan Sect at this time." ”

After speaking, he gently hugged her into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder and said, "Are you very envious of Taiyi and Hu Huo'er for being so carefree?"

"Huh. She let out a long breath, "It was the days of a fairy couple. Unfortunately, not for us. "Don't say that in the foreseeable series of wars in the future, Changtian, as the head of a sect, how can she leave it alone? Besides, she herself is also entangled in cause and effect, and she doesn't know when she will be able to clear it up. To think of such a non-worldly situation is simply a fool's dream.

Changtian saw that her face was faintly tired and felt slightly guilty, but she reached out to touch his chest, and said with a smile on her eyes: "Carry me back to Yixian Residence first...... Then, let's find something to eat. ”

Fang Cai's melancholy disappeared from her face in a blink of an eye.

Her little hand reached into his clothes and touched it, tickling his sensitive skin for a tickle that tickled into his heart.

She also smells terrible.

It's a bold invitation.

This little demon girl. Changtian's heart was hot, and he really reached out and picked her up.

In the next moment, the figures of the two had disappeared from the palace in the forest.

#####

The sky finally cleared, and Kuroko walked through the mountains and forests with his dog, taking a deep breath of the still somewhat damp air.

It had been freezing rain for six days, and he had been in the house for six days. Anyone who lives in the mountains knows how unwise it is to brave the heavy rain to go into the mountains, but if the rain does not stop, he will have to take a risk to go into the mountains to hunt.

It's close to the Hongyun Plateau, and the land is so barren that it barely grows crops, and most of the people in this small village have to hunt like Kuroko if they want to survive. Fortunately, this Qingshui forest adjacent to the Hongyun Plateau is still vigorous, and there are many wild beasts to support, so it is not difficult for a single person like him to feed himself and the whole family is not hungry.

In the past, when entering the mountains, the most feared thing for the hunters was to encounter a youkai whose path was unknown. However, since the Hidden Stream took over this area, most of the wild youkai have been co-opted, and many jungles, including the Shimizu Forest, have suddenly become less dangerous. Even the youkai who survive in the wild have been warned not to indiscriminately hurt people. So a mortal like Kuroko has a better life than before.

He grew up here, and is familiar with this woodland like his own backyard, and even the routes where wild beasts are used to haunt can basically touch the ten, so when he is lucky, he can hunt fat deer or roe deer, and if he is unlucky, he can carry two or three rabbits or marmots home.

His family's hounds had been trained to follow him silently. Kuroko walked in the forest for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, until he heard the occasional birdsong in the sky, and he realized that the forest was a little too quiet.

To an experienced hunter like him, the jungle was full of life, with all kinds of sounds almost all the time, not to mention the chirping of insects and birds, and now that it was spring, herbivores often called for courtship.

But at the moment, there was no sound here, and the rustle of his boots against the grass on the ground was even louder.

In this mountain, there is weirdness!

Kuroko was about to dig up a few fresh spring shoots and pick two mushrooms to go home to deal with it, when the hound beside him suddenly snapped his ears and barked loudly.

The old fellow had followed him for several years, and had always been intimate, and he could hear the fear implicit in the barking at once, and when he looked down, his limbs trembled slightly. Even if it was a wild boar or a bear, the hound never flinched, but today it ...... Could it be that there are monsters infested?

Without hesitation, Kuroko turned around and galloped the way he came.

But after a few steps, the grass two feet away in front of him shook, and then a black shadow emerged from it, blocking his way.

What is this?

Kuroko was taken aback, he had lived in this forest for almost twenty years, and he had never seen this strange species. But the thing wasn't as tall as him, and he was a little bolder, and he pulled out his machete from his waist and slashed it twice, trying to scare the monster away.

Suddenly, the sound of a soo sounded in the lush grass around him, and then black shadows appeared one after another, gathering from all directions, and surrounded him and the hounds.

The large mouths of these things grin down to the back of their ears, revealing their yellow-brown fangs, and filthy saliva slowly flowing from their mouths. In their eyes, there was only one look:

Hunger!

The jungle soon resounded with the angry cries of the hunters, the roar of the hounds, and then the terrible screams of the dying ones.

Then, they could no longer make a sound, but another terrible sound came out—the urgent, frightening sound of chewing, and the clattering of bones.

By the time all the sounds had died down, there was nothing left on the ground, blood and fragments of clothing on the ground. (To be continued......)
