On September 7, the sixteenth year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, Gulang Grassland, the camp of the Black Corn People......

The continuous camp is close to Qiyun Mountain, there are more than ten miles, in the camp, one by one tent is built with the skeleton of a certain giant beast as a support, the outside is covered with mottled fur, into the camp, as far as the eye can see, there are sections of white bones everywhere, even in broad daylight, it also looks very mad, from the first day of the establishment of this camp, in the sky above the camp, there is a large group of vultures representing the breath of death and decay hovering at any time......

Next to the camp is a lake, the melting snow on Qiyun Mountain turns into a stream and flows into this lake, from a distance, the entire camp of the Black Corn people is like a black python entrenched under Qiyun Mountain, opening its huge mouth, facing the direction of the Gulang grassland......

From time to time, bands of Capricorn cavalry rushed in and out of the camp.

......

"No, don't, let go of me, let go of me......" A shackled, frightened-looking Shatu man struggled, and was grabbed out of the cage where the prisoner was held by several black warriors with hideous faces and serpentine tattoos on their faces, dragged their hands, and walked towards a camp not far away.

Seeing the black tent not far away, the face of the Shatu man who was taken out of the cage suddenly turned pale, he knew what the black tent meant to him, these days, he had seen many people who were caught here like him, after being dragged to that tent - no one could get out alive, and all of them, when they were dragged out of it, had their chests cut open, their hearts taken out, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

The Shatu man was so frightened that all the tears and snot came out, and the strong desire to survive made him burst out with great strength at this time, taking advantage of the fact that the black man who was holding his left hand next to him did not pay attention, the sand man bit the arm of the black corn warrior, the black man snorted and cursed in his mouth, but the hand did not let go, but another hand reached over - with a click, in the scream of the sand man, his jaw was crushed.

The Shatu man was taken out of the tent, fixed to a cold iron table, bound hand and foot, unable to move, and then he saw an old man with only skin and bones left in his body, like a hairless hyena, coming to him with a strange bunch of knives and hooks and the like, stretching out his bone-like left hand, pressing it a few times on his chest, armpits and stomach, as if to check, with an eerie smile on his face......

......

Two minutes later, a shrill scream came from the tent, which lasted for about ten seconds, and then came to an abrupt end, and after a while, a black man came out of the tent, carrying a delicate silver tray in his hand, and walked briskly towards the largest bone tent in the distance.

Outside the bone tent was full of black warriors, and when the silver tray came here, it was picked up by a samurai who was guarding outside the bone tent and passed it to the bone tent.

At this moment, there are two people in the bone tent, one of them is two meters tall, burly like a giant bear, leaning on a bone chair made entirely of bones covered with tiger skin, this person is bare-chested, the chest to the lower abdomen are all black chest hair, the thick arm is wearing several pure gold serpentine armbands, and one hand is holding a wine cup inlaid with gems, made of human skulls, while drinking the wine in the wine glass, while watching another person as thin as a bamboo pole standing in front of a huge map inside the bone tent and talking something。

And the person standing in front of the map was an old man with gray hair dressed in a gorgeous black robe, this old man with sunken eyes, high cheekbones, and two eyes flickering like two dark green ghost fires in two dry wells, which made people shudder.

The two people in this bone tent, the giant bear-like man is the Prince Taimiba of the Black Corn Snake God Tribe, and the other old man is the war priest Kadar who invaded the Gulang Grassland Army sent by the Snake God Tribe this time.

Kadar's hoarse, low voice echoed through the bone tent.

"Your Highness, the fresh human fruit is here......" The Capricorn Warrior, who came in with a silver platter, respectfully placed the silver platter in front of Taimiba, and then withdrew.

“...... Qi Yun, the newly appointed superintendent of the Han Empire, personally led his troops to exterminate a small tribe called the Tuli tribe under the coyote tribe of the Seven Divisions of the Shatu last month, and also hung the head of the Buluo Patriarch on Baishi Pass, since September, the wool of the Seven Divisions of the Shatu can no longer be transported to Baishi Pass......" Kadar said, pointing to the place where Baishi Pass was located on the map.

"What, is it that Qi Yun who is guarding the caravan of the Shatu Seven Divisions from entering the customs again?" Taimiba opened his mouth, and his voice was like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against his throat, making people feel an indescribable uncomfortable feeling when they heard it.

"It's not that the Qi Yun Inspector does not allow the caravans of the Seven Divisions of the Shatu to enter the customs again, but that the Qi Yun Inspector issued a decree that the wool monopoly, all the caravans of the Seven Divisions of the Desert can no longer enter the customs to sell wool, they can only sell the wool to an institution under the Qiyun Governor's Mansion, the price is very low, a pound of wool is about ten copper coins......"

"Hahaha, that Han man's Qi Yun is greedy enough and ruthless enough, I like ......" Taimiba laughed, and then drank the wine in the head cup, "What about those Shatu people now?"

"There have already been a large number of Shatu caravans gathered outside Baishi Pass and have not passed the pass, those Shatu people have tasted the sweetness of wool, naturally they will not be willing to sell the wool in their hands to those Han people at such a low price, the two sides are now in a stalemate!"

"Isn't that Qi Yun Protector afraid of those Shatu people making trouble?"

"According to our spy report, since last month, the newly appointed Qi Yun Governor of the Han Empire destroyed the Tuli Department, Baishi Pass has begun to be repaired and reinforced, and the Qi Yun Inspector has asked people to start building a large rock fort on the hillside next to Baishi Pass, as soon as this rock fort is repaired, it will form a horn with Baishi Pass, and the defense capability of the entire Baishi Pass will be stronger, and it will be more difficult to overcome, it seems that the Qi Yun Governor of the Han people is ready to turn his face against the Shatu people, and he is not afraid that the Shatu people will send troops to attack Baishi Pass......

"So, Kadar, now is our chance for the Snake God Clan to seize the Gulang Grassland!" Taimiba's eyes flashed, "If we do it, the Han people will definitely not help the Shatu people again......"

"Yes, a few months ago, the Han Empire also wanted to organize an army to enter the Gulang Grassland to fight side by side with the Shatu Seven, but now, the Han people have undergone great changes in the country, there is a huge turmoil, their prime minister was assassinated, I heard that their capital may also be destroyed by the catastrophe next year, the Han people are panicked, they have been too busy to take care of themselves, their army has been withdrawn, the newly appointed Qi Yun Governor seems to be not all the way with the Shatu Seven Divisions at all, the relationship between the two sides is very tense, and the war is about to start, so His Highness does not have to worry that the Han people will send troops to meddle in the affairs of the Gulang Grassland, and once the caravan of the Shatu Seven Divisions cannot do business with the Han people, the supply of the Shatu Seven Divisions will be cut off by more than half, There is no more foreign aid, Your Highness, this is the opportunity given to us by the great snake god, as long as we defeat the Seven Divisions of Shatu, the entire Gulang Grassland, it will be ours......"

Taimiba's eyes stared at a certain area on the map located in the Gulang Grassland, and his tone became cold, "How is the blood poison of the Snake Temple prepared?"

The war priest of the Black Karma man bowed slightly, "Half of the blood poison in the Snake Temple has been prepared, but the area to be poisoned this time is very large, and the blood poison required is also more, so it will not be ready until the beginning of next year!"

"Order to go back and let the Snake Temple speed up the preparation of blood poison!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"The blades of the warriors of the Snake God Department have not seen blood for a long time these days, and if they don't move, they will rust, tell Lazuo that within ten days, I want him to advance the battle line of Baicao Lake a hundred miles, and I will go to Baicao Lake in ten days to sacrifice to the snake god, and when I arrive, I will see him stacking the altar for me by the lake with 10,000 Shatu heads......" Taimiba said, and easily uncovered the cover on the silver platter in front of him, and under the cover, there was a bloody red "human fruit" Still beating, Taimiba grabbed the "human fruit", put it in his mouth and bit it, blood splattered out of his mouth, as soon as the "human fruit" was eaten, Taimiba's eyes lit up with two bloody lights, and a blood-red breath appeared behind him, rolling and circling like two snakes, and his voice became deeper, "All these human fruits are still the most delicious among Han teenagers, I heard that Qi Yun Guardian of Han people is a teenager, tsk............"
