Chapter 237: The Fish and the Mountain
Tang Qian was a little uneasy.
"How many days has he been like this?" Bai Meng curled up in the cave, listening to the sound of falling ore inside.
"It's been two whole nights, and it's nothing if he has cultivation, but he doesn't, he just can't do this with his physical strength. Lan Ruoci looked at the entrance of the cave a little tiredly.
Those Zhou Rao people have already said that the ore is enough, Tang Qian has not come out, Zhou Rao people have said that the ore is enough for a year, and Tang Qian still has not come out.
It never seems to stop.
Bang, Tang Qian had already taken a pickaxe and jumped down from the height of the cave, and in the past few days, he has relied on him alone to reclaim this cave.
This pickaxe was built for them by the people of Zhou Rao after they mined the first batch of ore, because before the "bad giants" came to Zhou Rao and forcibly let them smelt many tools and cast several blades.
"It's time to hit the road. Tang Qian came out of the cave.
They were going to send Bai Meng back to the White Republic of China, and then Tang Qian seemed to have discovered the source of his restlessness, which was in the north.
In the Heaven Conquering Battlefield, the news is blocked, and it is completely only the way of speaking among mortals.
Is it a war, or is it because of someone you know?
He wasn't sure, but at least he couldn't stay here any longer, and he confirmed with Bai Meng that these Zhou Rao people would forge as many weapons as possible, and they would be able to take them when he arrived in Bai Minguo and then returned.
So he hit the road again.
The lifelong monk opened his eyes again, but found that the sky was bright, and he only had some vague memories, it seemed that Xia Yubing had been submerged in the fish demon, and he was caught by a team of monks rushing down from the mountain, and then he lost consciousness.
"Lost too much blood, master of life. Shengsheng raised his eyes and saw Zhou Sheng with a helpless face beside him, this is a simple house, and there seem to be wounded monks and some aborigines around, but they all seem to be injured.
A tall figure slammed the door open.
"In addition, Senior Lu, you too, obviously you are already like this, hurry up and rest, it's daytime, and the monster will be much quieter without the fish demon. Zhou Sheng didn't even need to look at the people behind him to recognize it.
It was Lu Buwei, he had a lot of sword scars on his body, and some wounds similar to the fish demon's claws, which seemed to have been left when he went down to the middle of the mountain to receive a lifelong monk.
Even if a lifelong monk underestimated Lu Buwei's combat power after losing his cultivation, he could understand that if he was simply against the enemy, he would never let these Henggong fish, who only had the power of Jin Dan, that is, one person, be injured.
Unless it is someone who needs to be protected and dragged down.
"It's really troublesome to everyone......" The monk suddenly wanted to say a lot, but he couldn't say anything, he originally wanted to come here to find Lu Buwei to go back and preside over the overall situation, but now it seems that the demon clan found Lu Buwei one step earlier than him, and then concentrated all his forces here.
This is also the reason why there are almost no large demon clans found on the Terran side.
And now that he has come here, he is the only one who has come here, and suddenly he is a little sorry for these bloody monks, because
It is equivalent to Lu Buwei dragging the demon clan with these people, but he neither let the human race stop the civil war, nor did he bring any reinforcements.
If he came alone, he would be very sorry.
A lifelong monk seems to be a lot, and he is a famous monk, and he is good at fighting, and his mind is good, but there are very few who can help this nameless mountain.
The lifelong monk didn't even put forward the idea of letting Lu Buwei break through for himself alone, because he had already roughly grasped the situation in an instant, those horizontal male fish attacked at night, and rested during the day, and the other monsters of the demon clan surrounded this nameless mountain during the day, just to prevent Lu Buwei from escaping - these things don't need to be seen by the lifelong monk, and they can be figured out with just a little thought.
A monk in his life was once said by the people of the Northern Underworld, you little monk is not a human, but a demon.
It's said that it's like a demon.
But can the demons really be able to defeat these monsters? The lifelong monk couldn't help but think that he now had a deep sense of frustration and a kind of guilt, and he very much hoped that his arrival would bring hope to this group of monks.
Lu Buwei's footsteps walked in, but the lifelong monk lowered his head, he was a little afraid that Lu Buwei asked him, is there any reinforcements, or is there any way?
For the first time in his life, a monk felt frightened and at a loss because he was too smart to know the answer.
Lu Buwei grabbed the shoulder of the lifelong monk with his hand, and laughed: "You kid is here, it's good that you are safe!"
The lifelong monk was stunned, raised his head, and looked at Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei was really happy to laugh, he didn't seem to think about the reinforcements at all.
Then he continued: "It's quite miserable for us to be trapped here, and there is nothing to entertain you, the main thing is that you can help us think carefully about how to guard the mountain, eh, you don't know, I'm a big old man, I don't know what those monsters are going to do, but except for Zhou Sheng, I can think about it more......" Lu Buwei chattered.
He didn't hope that the lifelong monk would take over the burden of letting them escape, but only that the lifelong monk would take over the burden of keeping them alive.
So the lifelong monk is very grateful.
"Well, the little monk will try. So the lifelong monk didn't wait for Lu Buwei to finish speaking, he already smiled and agreed.
At this time, he seemed to have changed back to the usual light-hearted monk of his life.
Calm and full of wisdom.
Lu Buwei nodded: "Then let's go and see the current situation on the mountain." β
Zhou Sheng hurriedly said: "The body of the master of life is still -"
Lu Buwei had already pulled up the lifelong monk: "It's okay, it's okay, if he can't stand it, I'll hold on to it, this body is still okay." β
The two had already walked out.
Zhou Sheng sighed, waited until the two of them walked out completely, then casually found a place in the house, and then lay down peacefully, like the resting monks next to him, he quickly fell asleep, this is already a battlefield, not to mention that he can sleep in peace.
Because the lifelong monk came.
Just without the knowledge of the monk all his life, he has more than he thinks
plus important role.
Lu Buwei has already walked out with a lifelong monk, there are actually only a few wooden houses in this cottage, and there are a few wooden walls, which can be regarded as a city wall, but this village is not a big city, and there are very few people in it.
It seemed to be noon, and some of the monks were busy around the stockade with a small straw basket on their backs.
A lifelong monk found that there were many puddles under his feet.
"These broken fish, they have a lot of water in their bodies, and when it is about to dawn, they make a pit, and then spit water, and they can live in this puddle after they change from big fish monsters to small crossfish. Lu Buwei walked a few quick steps, walked a little farther away from the cottage, and then caught a palm-sized fish from the puddle that had not yet been cleared.
He walked back with him.
This Yusheng has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and it looks full of energy, obviously Lu Buwei pinched his tail with two fingers, but it swayed violently, it seemed that it was not in the air, but in the water.
At night, they turn into youkai with hands and feet.
"We usually eat these smelts that are still in the mountains. Lu Buwei sighed: "Actually, the mountain has been out of food for two days, and after the monsters came over, our means of obtaining food became very simple, the cross-smelt is the main source, and there are some regular monsters, which don't taste very good, but we will still try to eat, because we don't have anything to eat." β
Lu Buwei talked a lot.
For example, these crossfish are also very smart, and when it is almost dawn, they will go down the mountain like a low tide, on the one hand, to reduce losses, so that the next day's offensive can be more violent, and on the other hand, to cut off our food sources, and the rest of these are too late to retreat or be dragged by the mountain people.
But it was still not enough, and many monks were seriously injured or killed in battle, all because they did not eat.
"Hey, bake it, eat it, and eat less. Lu Buwei threw the one in his hand to a fish-picking monk who was violently gnawing at the fish with his teeth, the fish had rough skin and thick flesh, but it would make him more comfortable if he could secretly eat it.
Sometimes, starvation is more unbearable than death.
There is a big tent at the bottom of the mountain.
In addition, countless monsters are resting in tents supported by some small cloths, and the aborigines gathered by the monsters have formed a complete encirclement.
The big tent moved forward a few miles, every day, as if there was something very important in it. Lu Buwei sighed softly, sometimes he also had an idea, but it was not very clear.
He is back to the virtual realm, and he is naturally talented and learned, even if he is a stupid person, when he reaches this realm, he also has a sense of some things, but he really can't understand these bends, but he has saved the monks on this nameless mountain through intuition a few times.
"Senior Lu, do you know how fish give birth to offspring?" said the lifelong monk suddenly.
Lu Buwei's face was different: "How can I understand this thing, I do understand the girl who accompanied the wine with Yuelou-"
Inviting Moon Tower is a more famous place in Zhongzhou.
Among them, the customers are all monks, and Lu Buwei also said everything-
The lifelong monk hurriedly interrupted and hurriedly said: "Fish will give birth to a lot of fish eggs, a huge number, this is what Senior Lu said, the reason why these Henggong fish are inexhaustible, how much you kill, how much can the body of the Henggong fish be born, the little monk is worried about another thing." β
Lu Buwei didn't ask, he knew that the lifelong monk was thinking, and he also hoped that the lifelong monk could come up with some solutions.
The lifelong monk did not match the preface: "Senior, is there still food in the mountains and forests?"
"Sometimes we can find some mushrooms or something, but we have given up, there is a lot of food on this mountain, but this group of monsters is very smart, after attacking the mountain, they will destroy the mountain forest, knock down the trees, and kill the animals in it, so now the forest is basically nothing, and we will replant some trees that can bear fruit, but this group of demon cubs and goblins will find the fruit trees first, and they will not attack the village if they don't cut off our food. β
Many monsters can see at night, and in the dark night, this nameless mountain is the world of monsters, and Lu Bu can only kill them in the stockade, and wait until the monsters attack and then fight hand-to-hand, and they can't get out of the stockade.
"Senior Lu, can you take me for a ride and take a look in the woods. The lifelong monk thought about other questions and said.
Lu Buwei nodded, didn't ask much, had already grabbed the arm of the lifelong monk, and flew up, like an eagle falcon, had jumped into the forest.
"Whether it's Lu Buwei or a lifelong monk, it's already in my hands. In the monster tent, Heng Gong smiled.
In the middle of the big tent sat Hualong, his whole body was covered with terrible green tendons, his handsome face looked a little hideous, and he was closing his eyes to recuperate.
Too much energy in the body is not necessarily a good thing.
At this time, he had more than 7,000 people in his body, so a gesture would put a huge burden on his own body, which was also the reason why Fu Er didn't immediately let Hualong deal with Lu Buwei, they also needed to let Hualong adapt to the surge in strength in his body for a period of time.
The big tent kept moving forward, and the closer Hualong got to Lu Buwei.
"What can Heng Gong do?" Fu Er was a little surprised, he didn't know what else he had planned.
"I can give birth to sons and grandchildren. When Henggong said this, he was very proud.
"Oh, doesn't that mean that our strength can be improved?" Fu Er said.
Heng Gong said: "It is not true that my fish eggs can become adult fish in one day, but the eggs born from my small fish take three days to become adult fish, and the number is even less, but the strength is equal to the strength of the same person." β
Fu Er instantly understood: "You mean ......"
Heng Gong said: "Yes, I have asked my sons on the mountain to lay fish eggs, and they can become adult fish tonight, and at that time, they can directly attack Lu Buwei Dazhai, Lu Buwei is wary of the mountain, but he will not be wary of the puddle behind him." β
Fu Er's illusory body nodded again and again: "I didn't expect Henggong to have such an arrangement, then Lu Buwei is naturally out of the question, they are here."
When there is no more food to eat, the tired division, when the time comes, Henggong and these fish demons, we will put pressure on the outside, and we should cooperate with the outside, and we can take them down in one fell swoop tonight. β
The lifelong monk said, "Everyone, everyone. He and Lu Buwei had already returned from the mountains and forests, and they were about to deal with the fish demon they picked up today, when the voice of the lifelong monk made them look at it suspiciously.
The lifelong monk first stepped forward and touched the Henggong fish that had not been killed but was held down by a monk, and then said in a loud voice: "Everyone, let's not eat fish today, these Henggong fish can't be eatenββ"
Henggong can control the Henggong fish to do some things, but on the contrary, the Henggong fish can't tell Henggong what he sees and hears, which the monk knows all his life, so he speaks freely: "Listen to me, these Henggong fish have other uses." β
A monk was very hungry and uncomfortable, and he had already put his chest on his back, and couldn't help but say, "Master, aren't you going to let some of the main battle monks eat this fish so that we can defend this cottage?"
Among them, there is another meaning, is it that you and Lu don't have to eat, and we don't have to eat?
The lifelong monk was very peaceful, explaining: "We are refining fish oil. β
The monk wondered, "Fish oil?"
The lifelong monk said: "Nature is fish oil, after this fish oil is boiled, you can make a fire, we fight tonight, with the fire, we can kill more monsters, so that we have food." β
Eating monsters is the same as monsters eating people, and a monk is a monk all his life, but he says it very naturally.
"Even if it's a lifelong monk, it's estimated that they're all thinking about how to solve the problem of eating food for people on the mountain, and the biggest possibility is to eat the corpses of those dead monsters, it doesn't matter, let them be full of dead ghosts. β
The lifelong monk said again: "Those corpses, we also have other uses. β
When a person has to do hard work, that is, something he does not like to do, time is always slow, but if he cherishes the peace and tranquility of the day like a monk on this nameless mountain, and cherishes the time when he does not have to fight to save his life, this time will be very fast.
It's night again.
The monsters under the mountain are secretly marching, and they are about to rush up the mountain, but they are still waiting for the fish demons of Henggong to make a catch. They were quiet, as quiet as they were before each attack.
And in the puddle next to the cottage on the mountain, a small fry suddenly rolled out, a very small one, and it was covered with mud, and these fish eggs were originally hidden in the mud under the puddle.
There is a first and there is a second, and they are all growing at an incredible speed, and as soon as they roll out of the puddle, they have already grown limbs, and before they have fully turned into adult fish, they have already turned into shorter horizontal fish demons.
It seemed to know what to do, so it hid in the darkness and shone a little moonlight, and it had already turned into the huge fish demon.
In a total of five puddles, a steady stream of fish demons came out.
They were all clinging to the walls of Dazhai, and by the time they all came out, there were already three hundred.
It's still quiet in the cottage, and most of them are seriously injured
The monks who fought again were some monks who were stationed just in case, and more monks were on the mountain road, using trees and rocks as blocks, forming a line of defense.
The real fight is over there.
And this group of fish demons is to let this last line of defense fail, killing the garrison monks is an offensive force, and killing a seriously injured monk is an attack on the heart.
When these fish demons have turned into adult fish, they rush into the village, and there is no reaction from the monks, or rather, these monks have absolutely no chance to react.
There are no lights in the cottage.
Suddenly there was a scream, this is a warning from the monks, some monks found this group of fish demons, but it was too late, but those fish demons showed a cruel smile, because the monks could hear this voice, and the monsters under the mountain could also hear it.
That's the signal for them to attack.
Interlocking.
Without pausing at all, they rushed straight to the huts, and when they rushed into them, they found many figures lying on the ground, and killed them when they saw them, but when they tore apart the third "monk", they realized that something was wrong.
By the light of the moon, and the speed at which their eyes adapt to the darkness, they are recognized.
These are the corpses of the monsters who died a few days ago!
They didn't have time to think about why there were monster corpses here, when there were a few explosions around them, and then the flames burst into the sky. The entire cottage has been set on fire.
"Fish oil, pine resin, and some dead branches of trees are good for starting a fire. "The old god of the lifelong monk is here, and he is in the forest outside the cottage, and next to him are all the monks and the group of bandits.
There was no one in the cottage, and no monks to stop the enemy.
Lu Buwei smacked his lips: "It is estimated that there are fewer seasonings, but it is also a first-class delicacy." β
Three hundred fish demons, plus those monster corpses, have rough skin and thick meat, and they are not afraid of burning.
The lifelong monk laughed softly: "So you can eat as much as you like tonight, and you don't have to worry about eating these days." β
A monk couldn't help but ask, "The cottage is on fire, and no one has stopped the enemy, how can we eat in peace?" Although he already had a lot of saliva in his mouth, he was also hungry, and the aroma of grilled fish had come from the cottage.
Even if they have hands and feet, it does not affect the monks to eat their **.
People in the mountains and forests, who are the beasts?
The lifelong monk said: "I didn't say that fish oil and pine resin are suitable for making fires. β
There is only one person who can block the enemy, Zhou Sheng.
He didn't call for blocking the enemy, but after seeing the fire of the cottage, two flints in his hand struck violently, and some sparks burst onto the straw soaked in fish oil in front of him.
A wall of fire quickly ignited on this nameless mountain, and this wall of fire burned so much that it surrounded the entire nameless mountain.
Since the wood in the mountains and forests has been put down by monsters, lifelong monks naturally have to make more use of it.
There are also many youkai who have been burned to death because they got too close to this ring of fire.
The screams of the monsters are endless.
"This Lu Buwei, a monk in this life, how did he know that my children and grandchildren can hatch?" Heng Gong's whole body was trembling, he thought that he had made a great achievement, but he didn't expect it
Then let the monks see through it all.
The fire in the mountain is so strong that it is estimated that it will be impossible to attack the mountain tonight.
"Temperature. The lifelong monk said: "The Henggong fish is too hot, looking at the energetic appearance, it seems that it is also constantly moving in the puddle, and the body temperature is extremely high, when Lu Buwei caught it, I was obviously some distance away, and I would feel the temperature." β
The monk who had questioned the monk for life at the beginning could only admire it now, and he asked, "But the cross-smelt is cold when it comes to my sword." Why is that?"
The lifelong monk said, "In order to cover up the temperature, they raise the body temperature in the puddle, just to raise the water temperature, and those fish eggs hatch more quickly, I briefly asked, the puddles of this cross-smelt are not fixed, but in the nearest few puddles from the cottage, there are cross-smelts every day!"
This male fish is to continue to supply the eggs under the soil in those puddles to keep the temperature supplied.
Lu Buwei laughed and patted the shoulder of the lifelong monk: "You kid is still amazing." β
Zhou Sheng had already rushed back, and hurriedly said, "Hey, if you shoot the master like this, the wound will burst!" He hurriedly stepped forward to check the injury of the lifelong monk.
The lifelong monk looked at the village in front of him, the flames were reflected in his eyes, and he didn't know how long he could continue to guard this nameless mountain.
Maybe it's until the arrival of the Terran monks?
Will the Terran monks come?
He didn't know either.
When the flames were extinguished, he knew he was a little hungry.
