The winter snow lingered, the cold wind was cold, and the land was already white, and a few feet of snow had accumulated on the ground, rendering the distant mountains and nearby demon villages like white walls.

The defeat of the demon clan has been over for three months, and the result of the war finally ended with the demon army, not to mention that the western border of the Nanzhan Buzhou that was once occupied has been lost, and even the east of Xiniu Hezhou has been invaded by the human race.

The corpses of demon beasts and demons were cramped and skinned, turned into a variety of different products and transported back to Zhoudi, and then replaced with a steady stream of trap beasts, cloud boats, blades and arrows, and returned to Xizhou......

For the youkai who live around Shiqi Mountain, when this winter comes, they feel the many changes that the war has brought to their lives.

Shiqi Mountain is located in the east of Xiniu Hezhou, among the mountains, far away from the battlefield where the two races of people and demons fight all the year round, because of the stone lacquer, so the grass and trees in the mountains are not lush, and the products are scarce, so there is no demon country to look at, only occupied by a stone spirit, and bow down to the Bibo country next to it.

At the beginning of the war, the stone spirit began to gather the little demons around him, and sent them to the Bibo country as a pawn, and then never returned, as time went by, many little demons also heard the news of the defeat, and the same was dull, for the demons here, the victory and defeat are the work of those big demons and demon kings, and they have nothing to do with them, life and death, victory and defeat are the same......

This is the idea of ordinary little demons and demon beasts.

But after the winter, the demons in this remote place finally ushered in the first impact, according to the order of King Shi to come back, the Bibo country because of the serious loss of the demon clan, continue to recruit the little demon to enlist, even if the place is barren, it is forced to share thirty places, and also requires fifty demon servants who have little combat power as husbands.

Because of the barrenness, all the little demons here are yellow and thin, and they are stunted, and it is not easy to get together enough people, but just send these little demons away, less than half a month, another order was conveyed, and the food was collected. For a place that was originally barren and was struggling in winter, such a recruitment was tantamount to snatching food from the mouth, but King Shi's attitude was extremely tough, and he would kill people if he didn't pay food.

Tens of thousands of catties of frozen meat were piled up in the courtyard of King Shi, and dozens of carts were piled up, ready to set off, from Shiqi Mountain to the town where Bibo Country recruited grain and grass, more than 200 miles, in such weather, even if the demons pulled out the mountain, they had to walk for at least two days.

It was not King Shi who escorted the dried meat on the road, but the patriarch of the fish demon village in the dirty waterhole next to Shiqi Mountain, Gurbo, who has lived in this pool for hundreds of years, regardless of demonic power, cultivation, and knowledge, he is the head of many water tribes, in addition to being able to convince people's hearts, but also to say something in front of King Shi, so that he has become the leader of the entire waterhole.

Since Gurbo is a demon, he naturally has to eat people, and when he was young, he also sneaked into the Zhou State to make waves, went through hardships, and brought back a fortune from the boss.

As the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, this principle does not only refer to the human race, but also the demon race, and I don't know if there is something wrong with Gurpo's practice, so that although there are countless wives and concubines, but no one has ever given birth to an heir, and after cultivating for five hundred years, Gurpo finally panicked, so he looked for a doctor everywhere, and even got countless elixirs to take, until a few years ago, he finally gave birth to a son by the concubine demon.

Now, more than dozens of years have passed, but Gurbo's family has never added Dingkou, and Gurpo's son has gradually grown up and become the treasure of the family.

A few years ago, in order to increase his knowledge, Gurbo made a special trip to Bibo to find a well-informed retired turtle to teach his knowledge, this turtle legend has traveled all over the world, seen the Dongsheng Shenzhou Dragon Palace, dived through the Nanzhan Continent, touched the moat of the pickaxe, saw the lake on the west bank of Xiqi, and saw far more than many demons in Xizhou, Gurbo did not seek to increase his cultivation, but only taught the knowledge of books and literature, geography and people, and so on, so many years of overlapping months, but also made his son's insight quite extraordinary, better than ordinary monsters a hundred times.

On this day, the dirty water pool needs to pay a total of 10,000 catties of food, and the various ethnic groups have gathered more than 7,000, and the remaining 3,000 are all meat beasts in Gurbo's family, which naturally makes the water tribe in the pool grateful inexplicably, but the water tribe demon beasts in Gurbo's family have also weakened a lot, and at least in five or six years, there will be no more large number of demon beasts transformed and joined the clan.

"Dad, be careful all the way here!" On the edge of the waterhole, Gu Ling, the son of Gurbo who has been transformed and the future young patriarch of the dirty waterhole, stood in the water, revealing most of his body from the hole hewn in the ice, and said worriedly: "A few days ago, someone said that some rout soldiers came from the stone paint flow, and many people have died in it, and it is a long way to go to Bibo Country, so it is better to bring more people!"

The son told him to worry, but Gurpo didn't care much, and laughed: "No need to worry, my dirty waterhole is not comparable to those tribes, don't say that I brought more than 30 people on this trip, it is your father himself, and he is also the way of the eighth order, so he has some reputation, besides, I have the backing of King Shi and Bibo Country behind me, how dare those thieves dare to provoke this moldy head?"

"That's the case, but I always feel a little uneasy," Gu Ling smiled reluctantly, shook his head and said: "After all, we are in the water tribe, and when we encounter water, we will be spiritual, but in this ice and snow, there is a lot of water to cast spells with you?"

Gurbo said: "Okay, needless to say, I am sure of this trip - you better take someone back to the pool first, you are only in the realm of second-order demons, and this ice and snow can't bear it." He smiled and turned around and got into a beast cart, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go quickly, this errand is over, I can wait to go back to the pond with peace of mind, waiting for next year......"

The little demon who drove the car waved his leather whip and made a crackling sound, and the ox and horse cart suddenly moved slowly, watching the dozens of cars slowly drive towards the distance, and the group of water tribes in the pool took a look at each other, and in the re-diving, it was naturally a burst of apprehension.

The ox cart gradually went away, the snowflakes flew down all over the sky, flying at will, dyeing the bamboo slips of the cart white, and Gurpo sitting in the car remembered what he had seen and heard in the human race when he was young, the kind of trap beast that used the demon clan's Dan core as a power, walking like flying, and the speed was extremely fast, but unfortunately the demon clan couldn't study it, and could only be smuggled and purchased from the human race through various channels, although there were also them, but they were not dirty pools, stone paint mountains and other remote places that could be bought.

If you have this beast, you can reach it in two days at most two hundred miles, and you can resist the wind and snow in the car, and even install a basin of water, and you need to suffer from this kind of wind and snow......

Thinking so, the carriage and horses went all the way.

……

In the cold wind, a dilapidated temple wailed and shivered in the wind and snow, and every piece of snow that fell on the roof made it tremble even more violently, and the snow on the roof had turned into water, and froze again, and froze thick on the roof, and when it fell down the walls, it was all frozen hard, turning it into an igloo, if it were not for this, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

These sacrificial temples are extremely common in Xizhou, most of them are not the three Qing ancestors required by God, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, but the two great powers of the demon clan, one of them is the mother of all souls, Nuwa Niangniang, and the other is the former Tongtian Sect Master, but with the passage of time, Nuwa Niangniang's temple still has incense worship, but the temple of the Tongtian Sect Master is becoming thinner and thinner, and finally slowly decays.

This is a temple of the master of the Tongtian Sect, the four walls of the temple have been broken, the wood carvings have long been gone, there are no doors and no windows, the ground is full of dead grass and fallen leaves, the temperature inside and outside the temple is almost the same, there are almost no monsters here, but today, there is still a fire here, and there are guests who spend the night inside.

The chaotic blades of grass had been piled up to a corner, and a fire was burning in the middle, and the damp fire had a lot of smoke, and three people were sitting next to the fire, two of them were tall and mighty, and the fierce face was full of fierce faces, but the last one was short and thin, but his appearance was so ugly that it was almost difficult to look at directly.

But now, the three of them were clearly led by the thin one, who was wearing a simple tiger skin apron and tattered coat, and was slowly turning a fat pig roasted on the fire, and from time to time pinched out some powder from the skin on the ground and sprinkled it, and with his movements, the air was gradually filled with a spicy aroma.

One of the sturdy little demons looked at the squeaky fat oil, shrunk his neck, and whispered to the monster next to him: "Brother Nine, can this thing really be eaten? Why do I look a little ...... Yes...... Ahh......h It's scary, isn't it?"

"Terrifying bird! This is the king's specialty, dogwood and salt are used to roast meat, so delicious! If you hadn't come out with us this time, where would you be able to eat?" The one he called the nine-headed brother was the old ghost car of the six ugly, and now he had changed his name to the nine heads, and he unceremoniously set up his knowledge of Xiong Shan, who followed him and the six ugly out to explore the way: "This kind of food is in the Zhou Dynasty, and it is also a delicacy that can only be enjoyed by the emperor's relatives and relatives, you know very well!"

"Oh, I see, that's ......" Xiong Shan was robbed of a few words by him, not only was he not annoyed, but he also showed a comfortable face, smiling and flattering: "Brother Nine Heads really deserves to be the king's sworn brother, he just knows more!"

Met the six ugly, nine heads naturally joined its team, and soon fought with the original Yinhu, Xiongshan, Shiniu a few fights, instantly beat these people to the north, no need for the six ugly to speak, has become the second recognized in the whole team, six ugly estimate that his strength has reached almost ten orders or so, than the sixth order Yin Hu and others are naturally stronger, it is also logical.

The temperature of the grease gradually increased, the fragrance became stronger, and the dogwood, which was fried in grease, began to exude a strong meat fragrance, and Xiong Shan's eyes also changed from the initial fear to curiosity, and then to expectation, and Jiutou was even more salivating, almost dripping saliva onto the meat.

Since seeing the six ugly, the violence in the heart of the nine heads has decreased a lot, and even has some of the old appearance again, but the six ugly know very well that these are just appearances, when facing the human race, the flame in the eyes of the nine heads is still hot, and the murderous nature is undiminished.

If there is a grudge, it is a fierce general, and the six ugly people know it very well, but there is still a long way to go to find a suitable general in it...... Everything can only be fate, if you want to survive in this world, or you should really go to the master who is gradually free of soap!

This thought flashed in the minds of the six ugliness.
