Chapter 4 Liuhe Village
Millions of mountains, also known as millions of demon mountains. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are countless mountains and green forests stretching for thousands of miles, and a large area of mountains is smoky all year round, hiding an unknown number of demons and monsters, which is an absolute forbidden place for human beings.
Liuhe Village is a backward village with a population of less than 50, and it is located on the border of these millions of mountains. Because of this, this small village is shrouded in the shadow of yokai all year round.
The closest monster force to Liuhe Village is the hundreds of monsters led by the poisonous scorpion demon king.
It is said that the deeper the millions of mountains, the more powerful the monsters appear, and this scorpion demon king is only in this corner, and it stands to reason that it is not as terrible as those monsters in the depths.
However, for these villagers in Liuhe Village, the power of the Scorpion Demon King was enough to make them fearful.
Since the Scorpion Demon King appeared more than ten years ago and unified a corner of these millions of mountains, he gathered all the little monsters and monsters, and then stretched his minions to the human realm.
More than a dozen villages, including Liuhe Village, were affected.
They were required to offer a certain amount of meat to the yokai every other month to ensure their peace for a while. If the offerings are not handed over on time, the youkai will forcibly abduct the villagers and fill the deficit with population.
What happened to the villagers who were taken captive, obviously needless to say, is there still less man-eating monsters?
Before the Scorpion Demon King unified the place, there would often be scattered monsters breaking into these neighboring villages, making a big fuss and snatching one or two people for food.
In this way, the appearance of the Scorpion Demon King is good news, at least under his jurisdiction, as long as the payment is made on time every month, there is no need to worry about damaging human lives at all times.
This is not the kindness of the scorpion demon king.
Although it is true that he does not have a special love for human flesh, the reason for such restraint on his subordinates is that in the final analysis, there are some hidden rules that he has to follow.
After all, human beings also have strong people, and even they are better at cultivating, and there are not many immortal figures, but most of them are not in this remote place.
These million mountains are the sphere of influence of the youkai, and they are the core realm of the youkai. On the other hand, it is a boundary for human beings, and most human powerhouses would not want to waste their time here.
However, there is a bottom line in everything, if the population of more than ten villages at this border suffers heavy losses, it will naturally arouse the vigilance of the human powerhouse, and in the end, if there is a conflict and cause a war between the two races, it will not be something that the scorpion demon king can afford.
Therefore, although he unified this corner and became the biggest leader here, he could not do whatever he wanted. Otherwise, if there is a real war, he will be the first to die.
The Scorpion Demon King thought that he was merciful enough, and that as long as those villages handed over enough meat every month, they could be safe, which was definitely a great favor.
But of course he didn't know that in order to get enough of the meat, the local villagers had to organize people every month to venture into the millions of mountains to hunt. But even if they didn't go deeper, the dangers in the mountains and forests caused them casualties from time to time.
As a result, more than a dozen nearby villages are becoming more and more decayed, and I am afraid that in the long run, within five years, they will be completely destroyed.
Until not so long ago, there was a turning point in the village of Liuhe.
Two immortals with high mana appeared there, repelling a wave of monsters, so that the villagers were exempted from this offering.
The villagers cheered, and the capital was finally bitter, and God sent Xiaoxian to help them tide over the difficulties.
Only the old village chief, who is nearly seventy years old, does not think so. He thought more deeply and more.
At this moment, in his residence, in a wooden house, the old village chief was talking to a middle-aged woman.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, did those two little immortals really jump out of the gourd?"
The old village chief frowned and looked at the woman in front of him, this woman was a widow, known as Sister-in-law Zhang, who made a living by planting melons on weekdays.
"Village chief, how dare I lie to you," Sister-in-law Zhang also said incredulously, "A few days ago, I picked up a gourd seed, planted in the yard and grew very fast, three or two days to produce a few gourds, and in another day, two gourds grew to the ground, and then two little dolls popped out of it, ah no, it's a fairy." ”
"This is terrible, the old man first saw it, I thought that they were sent down by the fairy sect to punish the monsters, and I thought that with the support of the fairy sect behind me, I don't have to be afraid of the poisonous scorpion demon king, how can I be good now, how can they fight against the demon king alone......"
As the old village chief spoke, he began to frown.
"Don't worry. ”
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, startling the old village chief and sister-in-law Zhang in the house, and looked towards the window where the sound came from.
I saw a child of five or six years old, whose body was only covered with green leaves in key parts, appear at the window.
This child was born quite cute, white and tender, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, black hair and a shawl, and there was no difference between him and a human child.
But the old village chief and sister-in-law Zhang only took a look and knew that this child was also a fairy who jumped out of a gourd.
The old village chief said: "You are a newly born little fairy, right?
The gourd fairies look similar, but they are not exactly the same. Moreover, the old village chief knew that the two little immortals who were born first had clothes to wear, and they were cloth clothes made by Sister-in-law Zhang overnight.
"I'm the third in line, so I'll call me Sanwa, and my magic power is to hide my body. ”
As the gourd fairy spoke, he disappeared as a whole, took a breath, and reappeared in the same place.
"The little fairy is really powerful, plus the other two little fairy, it is naturally easy to deal with ordinary monsters, but it's just ......"
The old village chief was also taken aback when he saw that these three babies could actually be invisible, but he thought that no matter how powerful the gourd fairy was, there were only three of them at present, how could he compete with the poisonous scorpion demon king and his many monsters.
"Grandpa is worried about the monster leader?"
Sanwa obviously heard the conversation between the old village chief and Sister-in-law Zhang, and also knew that the scorpion demon king might be very powerful, but she still said confidently: "According to the analysis of the eldest brother and the second brother, the head of that group of monsters should be a big demon, although the cultivation is a realm higher than ours, but there is nothing to be afraid of." Our brother is conceived by the spiritual root of heaven and earth, and has unique qualifications, and we will be able to cultivate a thousand miles in a day, or it won't be long before we can achieve great immortals, and then we will eradicate these harmful monsters. ”
"Okay! The little immortals are so extraordinary, they will definitely be able to bring down this poisonous scorpion demon king. If there's something old to help you with, just ask. ”
The old village chief saw that these gourd fairies were very wise after they were born one by one, and he also believed that they were favored by heaven and earth, so he put aside his worries and turned to full support.
Seeing this, Sanwa giggled and said, "The rest is nothing, but can you help me get clothes first?"
......
Approaching dusk, the six monsters led by Leper San drove for most of the day and finally arrived at their destination.
"Lord Deputy Commander, there is Liuhe Village in front. ”
Leper Nineteen has been close to the leper three sets along the way, what he said at the moment is a nonsense, Leper San has not been here, how can he not recognize this Liuhe Village?
It's just that Leper San likes Leper Nineteen's attitude very much, so he gave a rather gentle "um".
Then it said to all the monsters, "We're short on time, so we'll go our separate ways in groups of two, and we'll meet here tomorrow at noon." ”
"Leper Nineteen, you and I are in a group. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the latter to answer, he walked towards Liuhe Village.
"Wait for me, sir. ”
Leper Nineteen yelled and followed.
There were four monsters left in place, staring at each other with wide eyes.
"Why don't you work in groups of three, I like to act alone. ”
Leper eighteen, that is, Zhou Chen spoke out at this moment.
He seemed calm on his face, but in fact, his heart was already alive.
Leper San actually said that he would go his separate ways, which is really a great opportunity. He was worried that he would not have a chance to get away from them, so he could take the opportunity to find the waterhole and collect the thousand-year-old mussels.
"No, no, the deputy commander said in groups of two, we can't disobey the order, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat. ”
The spider monster, which was red and black, waved several arms in disagreement.
"This ...... Okay, then I'm in a group with geckos. ”
Zhou Chen said immediately.
His reaction is also very fast, even if he can't act alone, he relies on himself to create opportunities. And the gecko monster happened to be the only monster that did not carry a weapon in this operation.
"Leper eighteen, don't look down on me, I also have a name, I am called the second one in the palace. ”
The gecko monster looked at Zhou Chen dissatisfiedly and said.
"The second brother of the palace, okay, I will call you the second brother in the future, they are all brothers, don't worry about it." ”
Zhou Chen took the initiative to hook up with the gecko monster, and dragged it away.
The rest of the spider monsters and bug monsters glanced at each other and found a direction to start moving.
