But the inhabitants of the area were eagerly awaiting, and they couldn't stop cheering when they heard that the seed of the treasure tree was finally going to settle in the north.

It seems that the border there is not very peaceful.

Shi Er's master whispered, "Lingxu City's control over the Twilight Plains is generally not strict, and the forces of various countries go back and forth.

At this time, Tang Xiangguo came out again and said some words. The most indispensable part of every birthday celebration is entertainment, so the open space in front of Baiyunju was quickly cleared, and the whole class began to do juggling, illusion and other performances immediately.

He Lingchuan only paid attention to the whereabouts of the treasure tree seed, and saw that it was packed in a brocade box, and finally collected by Tang Guoxiang.

That is to say, he has to try to get the seeds from the hands of Tang Guoxiang.

It's not ordinary.

The show on Baiyun Mountain will last for three days and three nights, and the people will of course be happy, but the officials and the embassy will leave first.

I don't know how Shi Er's family heard the news, so he returned after a while and said to He Lingchuan: "Good news, good news, the team escorting the mission to the northern border is regrouping and will leave in an hour. They also have to escort the spirit seed by the way, and it's best if we go along! 「

He Lingchuan Waner.

The trade routes of Bega are usually relatively safe, but now that it has only been a few days, it is still a bit dangerous for foreign caravans. This escort team is the elite sent out by Fufeng City, and with them opening the way, the caravan can travel much safer.

It's like the homeless who move and like to follow behind the ranks of the nobles, the strong open the way ahead, and they also have a safety guarantee.

Baiyun Mountain is on the northern outskirts of Fufeng City, and the Spirit Seed Escort Team is fully equipped and sets off directly from here.

Several clever caravans immediately followed.

The Shimen caravan is one of them.

Before leaving this huge crater, He Lingchuan took one last look back and sighed at the majestic figure of Gu Luoshu.

A tree ruling over a kingdom that he could never have imagined before.

The Demon Kingdom is truly a magical place.

At this point, the black cat said goodbye to him.

I've seen enough of today's excitement, and this employer is also quite generous, giving enough silver taels and dried fish, but now it has to go back to bring the baby.

"Bring the children with us, the caravan will always run into rats." It was actually Shi Er's master who proposed to it, "Eat and drink enough."

The black cat was a little moved, and then rejected him: "No. It's easy to find a job in Fufeng City, my children have to grow up in a big city, who wants to be displaced from you all over the world?"

"You heartless woman." He Lingchuan laughed and stretched out his hand to it, "Happy cooperation, thank you."

The cat high-fived him with its mangosteen-like front paws, then jumped off the sheep's back and left without hesitation.

He Lingchuan saw that it was going to find other humans again, it was still a little girl of seven or eight years old, and it rubbed other people's hands and was coquettish, probably wanting to take a ride back to Fufeng City......

At this time, another acquaintance patted the horse and followed:

Xu Dongdong.

This guy is also the guard of the Taifu Mansion who rushed out of the mirror world with He Lingchuan, and has been performing other tasks in the past few days.

He said to He Lingchuan, "Sha Gongzi knows that you are about to leave, let me escort you for a ride. Brother Wu can't leave Taifu's side, so let me say goodbye for him."

He Lingchuan thanked him, and then asked, "Has Fushan been caught?"

"Not yet, this fight is very strong, and it runs faster than a rabbit, and it slips away when there is a wind and grass." Xu Dongdong whispered, "But we caught two of his companions, and after torture, we learned that their leader's real name is Fushan Yue."

"These people are mercenaries, killing people and fighting for the powerful, doing everything. This time, they were tasked with ambushing the messenger of the Yamaba Kingdom, White Candle."

"Is that the white python?"

"Yes." Xu Dongdong scratched his head, "When they were collecting the Emperor's Liquid Pulp in Sanxinyuan, they mistakenly killed the deputy envoy of the Tomb Kingdom as a white candle. The mission was not completed, and they changed their plans, intending to do it again after White Candle left Fufeng City. As for who the employer is, only Fushiyama knows,

These men only do what they are told. 「

"Where did Fushiyama come from?"

"Uh, I don't know." Xu Dongdong sighed, "I just heard these two sentences, and before I could finish it, I was sent to find you."

Dare to love or delay him to listen to gossip? He Lingchuan coughed:

"The messenger already knows he's on the death list?"

"We've informed it." Xu Dongdong said, "We also sent more people to protect it, all the way to the border. Let's hope it's safe and sound. "Don't fall for the prestige of the Treasure Tree King.

He Lingchuan snorted, "A gift-giving messenger, what is the need to attack? and at the risk of offending the Treasure Tree King."

"How do I know?" Xu Dongdong shrugged, "Sometimes these monsters are reckless and unreasonable. Yamafa is in turmoil, and I heard that the court army is retreating one after another, so I wonder if this time it was their opponent who sent someone to assassinate them."

"That spirit seed, as long as it is planted in the soil, it can grow into a guardian who guards the border?"

"Almost." Xu Dongdong said with a smile, "I don't know too much about the specifics, my king clone is much more powerful than Shan Ze. Where there is it, there is no need to appoint the mountain. It's just that this spirit seed is not easy to come out, and I heard that it takes thirty or forty years to give birth to one."

"Then there are only more than twenty Gu Luo clone guards in the entire territory of the Treasure Tree Kingdom?" What a simple arithmetic problem.

"Uhhh Xu Dongdong felt that he had lost his words. How can this kind of thing be known to outsiders?

He Lingchuan observed the color and knew that it was not good to talk about this issue any more, so he changed the topic: "Is the Spirit Seed Guard improvised? I think it's all human, and the mounts are just ordinary horses. At best, there are more than a dozen wolf demons with them, which seems to..."

It doesn't seem to be too grand.

Shi Er interjected, "I thought that Fufeng City would send an army of demon beasts to escort the spirit species to the north."

Xu Dongdong smiled: "Sounds majestic, doesn't it?"

"Isn't it?"

"When the king's flag is erected, how can there be a robber who doesn't have long eyes to rob?" Xu Dongdong said, "Besides, how much does the demon beast army eat? Where can you afford the post towns along the way? Horses are the best, with a stable temper, good stamina, and grass."

He Lingchuan smiled: "It is indeed an economic account."

Tiger wolves and other monsters are all big rice buckets, and they have to eat meat when they go out, and each head can eat dozens of catties a day, what logistics can afford? Even if it is a herbivorous youkai, the amount of food that is several times that of ordinary horses is several times higher.

After all, it is still the easiest to ride a horse.

Of course, He Lingchuan understood that this was also because Fufeng City was a bit far away from the north, otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal to send a demon beast honor guard over.

Moreover, it is the self-confidence of the King of the Treasure Tree: who dares to rob the king master on his territory?

He Lingchuan also made a discovery: even in the Bega Kingdom, the number of monsters was not as large as he imagined.

Or take Fufeng City as an example, after his observation for many days, the ratio of the number of monsters to humans is not at all 1:10. Even in this demon-filled capital of the Treasure Tree Kingdom, the human race is still outnumbered.

Not to mention the towns and villages he passed through along the way, the number of humans was at least thirty times that of youkai. He had been to one of the most extreme towns, with more than 600 permanent residents, and there were said to be only three youkai.

Here's a distinction between beasts and monsters.

In the army of Zhao Pan, the general of the Kite Kingdom, there was a Wild Bull Stormtroop led by the Wild Bull Demon, and He Lingchuan almost experienced its power first-hand at that time. But strictly speaking, there are only seven bull demons among the three hundred cows in this group, and they are generally larger and stronger, which is very recognizable, while the rest are ordinary brute cattle.

In addition, most of the clansmen of the rock wolf clan are also ordinary rock wolves, only Lu Xin of He Lingchuan and Da Hei under He Yue can really be called demon wolves.

Zhu Erniang's descendants easily exceeded twenty or thirty thousand, but the elite spider guards who became demons were less than one hundred and eighty. He Lingchuan was bored when he stayed in the Devil's Nest Swamp, and he had counted it with his own hands.

With so many spider guards, it can occupy the best territory in the Devil's Hive Swamp, and the other big demons can only endure it

Swallow.

When He Lingchuan communicated with Xu Dongdong about this, he laughed: "How can monsters be compared to people in terms of numbers?"

"I thought that Bega was a demon country, and monsters could dominate." He Lingchuan listened to the drama and read the book in the kite country, and said that the northern demon country was full of monsters, how powerful the demon army was, and how miserable the enslaved human civilians were.

As a result, come here and see for yourself, hehe.

"The demon kings are noble, and there is no shortage of powerful monsters in Bega. But how could such a vast empire be sustained without humanity?"

Shi Er's master also smiled: "Except for humans, who can operate, who can produce?"

He Lingchuan thought about it too. Like Zhu Erniang, who is good at agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishing, is already an outlier among monsters.

Most of the yokai follow their natural instincts and are free and loose, not as careful as humans, but it is difficult for them to work in groups day after day like humans.

If production and operation are not dominated by people, no grain can grow in the fields, no one can mine the mines, and commerce will not be able to go on at all, where will the wealth come from?

At this time, the heart protector interjected again: "The weakening of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the main reason why the number of monsters is not long. The early Middle Ages was also an era when monsters were everywhere, and if you shoot an arrow in the wild, you might be a rabbit demon. But people are different...... No matter how thin the aura of heaven and earth is, people are still people, and they will not become monkeys. 「

It is precisely because the demon clan is weak that they want to hold together. In ancient times and the Middle Ages, demon immortals were rampant, each occupying the south and the north as a hegemon, how could there be such a demon country as Bega?

To put it simply, it is nothing more than a product of the times.

That night, the team stayed in a small town on the edge of the official road.

The convoy was about 300 people, and the caravan behind was more than 100 people, and even the carriages and horses with goods could not fit in a town.

Fortunately, there was a second town five miles away, and the Shimen caravan went to settle there.

Other businessmen came over to chat, and He Lingchuan heard a message:

"Actually, there are not only escorts in that town, but also three foreign missions, which seem to be the Sura Kingdom, the Red Yan Kingdom, and the White Elephant Kingdom. The convoy asked them to stay with them."
