Chapter 730: The miserable border people
It's not easy!
Seeing the small village in the corner of the mountain, and the curling smoke wafting on it, and feeling the long-lost human breath, Lei Hu really had a tearful touch.
It was dinner time, and the smoke was coming with the wind, and the smell of cooked food penetrated into his nose, and he was instantly stunned in place, and his mind floated again and again.
"Let us out, let us out!"
"Now that you've left the Demon Domain, you should be safe, right?"
"Let us out, we're suffocating these days!"
“……”
The voices of the seven gourds were mixed, and the noise made Lei Hu have a headache for a while, and he released them all with a wave of his sleeves.
"Alright, you guys are going to wander around, don't mess around!"
Lei Hu reminded angrily: "If the news is leaked, I'm afraid that the big demons and demon gods who have returned in vain will not stop easily!" ”
Seven gourds suddenly appeared in the air, and the gourd skin, which originally had the meaning of perfection, was now dull and dull, as if it had lost its essence.
Indeed, the seven gourds provided the essence of refining the Seven Star Pill, and it could be said that all the essence extracted from the two snakes and scorpions was poured out.
If this weren't the case, it might not be possible to really refine the true Seven Star Pill!
Of course, it is also because of this that the vitality of the seven gourds is greatly damaged, and if you want to recover, you don't know how much time it will take.
However, there are benefits to doing so.
At least the seven gourds had said when they were running away, and they felt the pressure on their bodies loosen, as if some of the tension in the dark had disappeared.
Lei Hu only guessed a little, and basically knew what was going on.
The seven gourds come from the gourd seeds of the Antarctic Immortal Weng's hands, and they naturally have cause and effect with the Antarctic Immortal, and this cause and effect will not be understood until they complete the task assigned by the Antarctic Immortal.
The task assigned by the Antarctic Immortal Weng is naturally to refine the Seven Star Pill with the essence of the gourd!
Before running away, the Seven Star Pill had been refined, and even the alchemy furnace had been withdrawn, obviously the cause and effect between the Seven Gourds and the Antarctic Immortal Weng had already been resolved, and naturally there was an inexplicable ease in his heart.
Although the cause and effect of the seven gourds have been understood, I still feel scared when I think about it now.
Forming a cause and effect with the dignified and powerful Antarctic Immortal, although the Antarctic Immortal Weng may not care much at all, but for the seven gourds, it is still an unbearable burden.
Well, now that the Seven Gourds have lost a lot of essence due to the Seven Star Pill, the cause and effect between them and the Antarctic Immortal Weng is definitely a great thing.
At least, no matter what their achievements are in the future, there is no need to worry about the causal interference from the Antarctic immortals.
Of course, when it is really necessary, you can also pull the banner and pull the tiger skin, and if you want to come to the top heaven and earth power with a good reputation, you won't mind such a trivial matter.
The seven gourds are not as complicated as Lei Hu's thoughts, although their complexions are average at this time, they can't hold back the joy of seeing the light of day, and they are spinning in the air one by one.
"Oh no, there's a demon in the village!"
At this moment, the gourd boss's words quieted down the gourds who were looking around, and turned into streamers and hurriedly returned to the small space of Lei Hu's sleeves.
Don't look at the seven brothers in the animation who are very reckless, but at this time, they are very unsuitable for their temper, and they are honest and tight.
Changed to the seven gourds in the animation, I'm afraid that at this time, I will rush straight up regardless of it.
I have felt the little bit of power revealed by the Antarctic Immortal, and the fear that the body and mind are all stagnant and unable to move is not for fun, and no matter how reckless a person is, he has learned to check the situation carefully.
Besides, the seven gourds are still the target of many powerful demons and demon gods.
Lei Hu has nothing to be afraid of, although he has come here, because the aura of heaven and earth is not very lively, the scope of divine exploration has been greatly reduced, from thousands of miles in the Daling River to a hundred miles of the current circle, but it is still very simple to investigate the villages less than a hundred miles away.
Divine thought scanned, and instantly 'clearly' saw the tragic events that had happened in the village.
There were a few dog-headed demons, wreaking havoc in the village, accompanied by curling smoke, a miserable and desperate cry.
There was no tragedy in the slaughter of the village, but a few little demons were driving a group of pigs and cows, happily preparing to leave the village, and a few strong male villagers fell behind them, and they were still angry.
Obviously, those pigs and cattle are definitely not simple means of production for the villagers.
The divine thoughts swept here, and Lei Hu was not polite, and directly gave these little demons, and a wave of divine soul shocks came and directly made them faint.
Yes......
In the distant village, the exclamations of the villagers were suddenly heard.
They were obviously taken aback by the sudden coma of the powerful little demons.
Lei Hu smiled slightly, and walked over slowly, he wanted to ask clearly from the villagers, what kind of place is this, and what forces exist?
As he approached the village, the atmosphere of despair in the village was gone.
Those unconscious little demons were honestly and unceremoniously carried to the entrance of the village by the villagers, but they didn't have the courage to kill the demons directly, so it was not bad to let them go.
"Where is this little brother from?"
At the entrance of the village, an old man with a dragon clock, guarding in front of several unconscious demons, saw Lei Hu walking over slowly, and asked in surprise.
"Uncle, where is this?"
Lei Hu didn't answer and asked: "Why don't you kill all these little demons?" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the unconscious little demons.
"You can't make it ......"
The old man waved his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile: "They are all subordinates of the Wind King, if you kill these little demons, I am afraid that the village will not survive!" ”
The Wind King?
Seeing that Lei Hu was confused, the old man sighed and explained: "That's a wolf demon who has cultivated to perfection, the power is very strong and the speed is very fast, in short, this piece of land is thousands of miles away, and it is the territory of the Wind King!" ”
"Isn't there a human kingdom here?"
Lei Hu walked up to the old man, squatted down and said curiously: "It can't be done, we humans still have to rely on monsters to survive, that's too ridiculous!" ”
The old man waved his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile: "In the next life, I see that you are strong and strong, obviously not from this neighborhood, how do you know the hardships of our waiting?" ”
I don't know what bad memories Lei Hu's words evoked the old man, and the wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together, and it looked as painful as he was.
"Speak slowly!"
Lei Hu found a clean stone, sat down, and said with a smile: "I still have some skills, I have traveled all over the world, and I haven't seen a few figures, isn't this curious?" ”
"Hehe......"
The old man's attitude was very gentle, and he didn't care whether what Lei Hu said was a town or not, as if it was a memory or a deliberate one: "This is the boundary of Daqi, but it is the junction with the demon domain, and there is a large army stationed there, but it's a pity that ......."
From the mouth of the old man in this unknown village, Lei Hu knew about the situation nearby.
This is the frontier of the human kingdom, adjacent to the demon domain.
Originally, there was a large army stationed here to defend against the invasion of the demon clan, although the days were a little difficult, it was not impossible to survive.
It's a pity that the feudal dynasty can't escape the rise and fall of the country, decades ago the Great Qi country has declined, coupled with the chaotic domestic situation, the feudal towns around the country attack each other, most of the border garrisons have been transferred to the core territory of the Great Qi Kingdom to garrison, as for the frontier land is abandoned.
Now, it will be difficult for the people in the frontier and the few border troops stationed.
The Demon Domain's Wolf Demon Wind King seized the opportunity to invade the border, and directly turned the frontier area within a radius of thousands of miles into its territory.
It's just that this wolf demon wind king is quite restrained, as if he is afraid of any existence, and does not wantonly kill the humans in the territory of Xinna, on the contrary, it is like a captivity, and collects offerings every once in a while, as long as the number of offerings is sufficient each time, then everything is easy to say.
Those unconscious demons are the minions sent by the Wind King to collect offerings.
Originally, with the production of the village, there is no problem in dealing with such a supply, but unfortunately last year's weather was dry, the harvest was very average, and now it is a bald head that is not green, and the pigs and cattle in the hands of the villagers are ready to exchange for life-saving materials for food, and it is a fatal thing to be taken away by the little demons.
According to the old man, not to mention how the villagers survived this period of scarcity, the offerings for the second half of the year alone could not be gathered, and when the time came, they would have to take more lives, which was really miserable.
That's all there is to it.
The old man had never left the hundred-mile area centered on the village, but he had heard that there was a big city hundreds of miles away, and as for what Dafa was, he didn't know very well.
"Thank you, old man!"
Lei Hu did not mean to enter the village to disturb the villagers, just with his height of more than 2.5 meters and extremely strong physique, it is estimated that entering the village will bring great psychological pressure to the cautious villagers.
"The days to come will be better!"
When leaving, Lei Hu smiled and said with relief: "When the time comes, my husband only needs to take care of the crops!" ”
"I hope so!"
The wrinkles on the old man's face stretched, revealing a look of yearning: "When the time comes, you have to make a good contribution to make life better!" ”
Lei Hu smiled lightly, and had already made a decision in his heart at this time.
It is not to help the border people of Daqi, but to find a safe place to settle.
Later, he will go to the nearby towns to inquire about the news, to see what level the surrounding demon cultivators are, and whether there are any overly powerful rest forces or organizations.
If the situation allows, if you grab the territory of the so-called Wind King, you will naturally be able to benefit the surrounding people at that time.
He didn't meddle in the affairs of the village rashly, even the little demons who were secretly knocked unconscious by him didn't pay attention.
Judging by the reaction of the villagers, it is obvious that they have their own way of coping, and there is no need for him, an outsider, to interfere indiscriminately, and maybe he will even help.
Bidding farewell to the old man guarding the entrance of the village, Lei Hu walked slowly towards the hinterland of the Great Qi Kingdom, but there was an official road that had been damaged to walk.
Just as far as the eye can see, the surrounding area is desolate, wild beasts are infested with demons and ghosts, and the environment is extremely harsh for ordinary humans......
