Volume 2 Counting Out the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 431
Cao Cao was very surprised when he heard the gluttonous words, he didn't expect to see the legendary beast here.
His face was solemn, although it was an unprecedented situation to be able to see the legendary monster, but the monster he encountered was not an auspicious beast, but an ancient beast that represented calamity.
Cao Cao knew that encountering such a fierce beast would not bring anything good, but would only bring him disaster.
Cao Cao had already heard about this fierce beast and knew that he was one of the four fierce beasts in ancient times.
Compared with the other beasts, this beast was greedy for life, but everything he saw would be eaten by him, so that when he appeared in the world, the world was barren, and everything that could be eaten was devoured by this beast.
Later, the gods of the Celestial Realm subdued this evil beast and brought him to the Celestial Realm, where he became the guardian beast that guarded the gateway to the Celestial Realm.
But after all these years, the beast still hasn't changed its ferocious and greedy nature.
It happened that the world was about to be in turmoil, and gluttony took the opportunity to go down to earth, wanting to take this opportunity to find Fan Li's younger brother for revenge, but after coming to the nether, his nature exploded.
He covets the delicacy of human souls, so he tries to cause chaos in the world and cause more human beings to die, so that he can eat these souls who want to reach the underworld at the junction of the underworld and the human world.
However, limited by the laws of the heavenly realm, gluttony cannot enter the human world, so he can only influence the human beings in the world through his own mana, so that they can disturb the human world so that more people can die.
But it is not so easy to find people who can work for him, such as Niu Eighteen, who is simple-minded, although it is easy to be controlled, but it is useless, if he only kills a hundred or so people, he can still do it, but if he wants to kill more people, the limitations of Niu Eighteen's ability are obvious.
He doesn't know how to use his mind, he will only act according to the instructions of the glutton, if it weren't for the gluttony who has been directing him behind his back, he wouldn't even be able to get into Chun Yuqiong's military camp, let alone secretly eat people in the military camp and accumulate strength.
With his impulsive and reckless personality, if he hadn't been gluttonous and commanded, he would have been discovered by others early in the morning, how could he have survived until now?
But even with gluttonous help, this mind
Those who can't do it still exposed their true nature, and they actually killed in front of Chun Yuqiong and Xiyuan Jun.
Perhaps, gluttony was tired of this idiot, so he didn't stop him and let Niu Eighteen fend for himself.
Sure enough, although Niu Eighteen already possessed quite a lot of strength, able to manipulate the "Gu worm" and grow his body, his weakness was still quite obvious, that is, he was afraid of fire.
Therefore, when people discovered this weakness of his, Niu Eighteen became vulnerable and was defeated.
But then, gluttony appeared.
A very important reason why he gave up Niu Eighteen was that he found a more suitable candidate, that is, Cao Cao in the Xiyuan Army.
This young leader of the scholar clan represents the hope of the Cao family.
Cao Cao's grandfather is the famous Cao Teng, he was appointed to the Great Changqiu, named Fei Tinghou, and the adopted son is Cao Cao's father Cao Song.
Cao Song has no outstanding talent, just because his son Cao Cao has shown unusual talents and personalities since he was a child, and after being discovered by Cao Teng, he had the idea of cultivating this child.
And Cao Song also relied on his son to be noble, and he was supported by Cao Teng and became a high-ranking official in the imperial court.
After having such a family background, Cao Cao's career became easy and open, and he became the northern lieutenant of the capital Luoyang at a young age, and killed the figure of the kingless law, which can be described as famous.
Although his fair and honest personality and jealousy caused him a lot of trouble, it did not hide his extraordinary talent.
Soon after, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and Cao Cao was named the Prime Minister of Jinan for his exploits in the battle to quell the uprising and riots.
At that time, it was an extremely dark period of politics in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the Ten Standing Servants controlled the government, and officials in various places were extremely corrupt, and Jinan was no exception.
Therefore, after Cao Cao took office, he vigorously rectified the local government affairs, and dismissed eight-tenths of the corrupt officials at once, so that Jinan was shaken, and the corrupt officials fled one after another.
Later, in order to consolidate his rule, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up eight captains in the West Garden, and Cao Cao was appointed as the captain of the eight lieutenants because of his family background.
And the contradiction between the Ten Standing Servants and the Great General He Jin also broke out soon after.
The Ten Standing Servants took the initiative and killed He Jin even when they were already at a disadvantage, which shattered the plans of the scholars, and they had to make a desperate bet and ordered Yuan Shao to lead the army into the palace and kill the Ten Standing Servants no matter what.
They killed all the way, and most of the eunuchs were killed by Yuan Shao, but Zhang Rang fled into the harem with the young emperor hostage.
In order to kill the ten permanent servants and leave no trouble, Yuan Shao also chased into the harem, but they didn't find Zhang Rang, but they ran into the crazy Niu Eighteen, who was crazy and killed wildly here.
Their path was blocked by this monster, so they had to fight him to open the way.
This huge monster is the puppet that Tao Tao found to disturb the world for him, but he is simple-minded, not only is it difficult to understand Tao Tao's instructions, but also does not think about the consequences at all, if it wasn't for Tao Tao to act in secret, this stupid person would have been discovered and killed.
Niu Eighteen's poor performance made the gluttony anxious to find a new candidate, and at this moment, Cao Cao appeared.
Tao Tao clearly knew that this Cao Cao was the most suitable person in his mind, he not only had great ambition, but also great intelligence, once he was made his puppet, that Tao Tao's wish would soon come true.
Therefore, when Tao Tao saw Cao Cao, he wanted to get him no matter what.
So he did not hesitate to give up the long-cultivated Niu Eighteen, let him be shot into a puddle of water by rockets, and did not make a move.
Because He was disgusted with this brainless fool who liked to make trouble, and wanted someone better to fulfill His desires in His place.
But Cao Cao, who saw Niu Eighteen with his own eyes, naturally would not be interested in the power that Tao Tao said, because even if he got such power, it was of no great use, and he was easily defeated by them.
To do this, Tao Tao needs to show his strength so that this Cao Cao will be interested in his power.
I saw gluttony say: "My strength varies from person to person, the more greedy people are, the more powerful they can get from me, the waste just now is just greedy for the deliciousness of food, and has no greater ambition, so his degree is only like this." ”
