Chapter 293: Jiao's Nest
West Niuhe Island.
A heavy snowfall covered the mountains, along with their vegetation, in white. The vast expanse, looking down from the sky, looks like an endless white ocean.
The north wind was blowing.
The battleship flying the flag of the new army sailed slowly.
The monkey stood on the bow of the ship and squinted.
"Is it almost there?"
"If you look at the map, it should be almost there. Yanxi on the side replied.
"It's almost there, why haven't you seen anything?"
"I don't know, I haven't been to Jiao's nest. ”
"You've never been?"
The monkey was somewhat speechless.
He has only been in office for a few years, and the commander of the new army can be said, Yanxi, but he has served in the demon capital for hundreds of years.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Xi said softly: "The Red Dragon Army is different from other troops, they have very little communication with the outside world, and almost nothing has happened, unlike other demon kings, who get something from time to time, senior brother's order, we have to rush over in a hurry...... Speaking of which, the Jiao Demon King is the most worry-free demon king. ”
White Frost came out of the cabin wrapped in a thick cloak, and said, "Aren't you cold?" I have boiled some soup, do you want to go in and have a bowl?"
"Okay. Glancing back at Baishuang, the monkey turned his head to look at Yanxi again, and said, "Last time in the rebellion of the demon capital, King Qin's first work seems to be him, right?"
"Yes. ”
Shoulder to shoulder, the two walked towards the cabin together.
"Then he's really loyal. This time we had an accident, and it was the Red Dragon Army who rushed to the rescue as soon as possible. ”
"It doesn't have to be loyalty. ”
"How?" the monkey sat down slowly, bowing down.
Yeon-hee also sat down.
"Didn't I tell you? The Jiao Demon King and the Bull Demon King are feuds, thousands of years, and they don't die. The demon capital was not established before it was established. After the establishment of the demon capital, there have been several frictions, if it weren't for His Majesty's suppression, I'm afraid it would have been a long time ago. I heard that the seven scars on the Bull Demon King were all given by the Jiao Demon King. During the rebellion in the demon capital, the Bull Demon King wanted to fish in troubled waters, and the Jiao Demon King Qin Wang. This time, the Bull Demon King wanted us to die, and the Jiao Demon King saved us. If it is explained by their old grudges, it also makes sense. ”
White Frost immediately filled two bowls of soup and sent them to the two of them.
Lowering his head and taking a sip, the monkey frowned and said, "Anyway, no matter what the reason, as long as the Bull Demon King is our enemy, then the Jiao Demon King will definitely be on our side, right?"
"So to speak. As she spoke, Yanxi also lowered her head and took a sip of soup.
At this moment, a demon soldier outside the door hurriedly walked in, knelt on one knee, and reported: "General Qiyu, I see Jiao's nest!"
......
Bird Mountain is a towering mountain.
The withered leaves are a sunken depression.
The country of lions and camels is a black stone land with a radius of 100 miles, and there is no grass.
Each Demon King's territory has its own characteristics, even if people who don't know that this is the Demon King's territory, they can clearly feel the abnormality of these places. Most importantly, they are all spectacular.
But this is the ...... in front of you.
"It's ...... Jiao Nest?" the monkeys were a little dumbfounded.
In the middle of the endless mountains, a clearing cleared of snow, facing the sea, simple buildings made of wood or bamboo.
It stands to reason that the Jiao Demon King also has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. Hundreds of thousands of monsters, not counting the accompanying demons, gathered together, is also a big city. Partially...... This place looks like a fishing village town at best, and it is a relatively poor town...... There is not even a decent school field.
If it weren't for the large number of Red Dragon Army warships staying at sea, probably the soldiers would have looked away and just passed by.
Upon closer inspection, the monkey found that among the mountains around the "fishing village", there were scattered small buildings everywhere, some hanging on the cliffs, some near the frozen streams, some built on the top of the mountain, and some hidden in the valley. The biggest thing these buildings have in common is that they are small, and they basically look very simple, not at all large. So much so that as soon as the snow was covered, nothing could be seen in the air.
But why is this happening?
It's okay to say that humans are poor, but youkai really don't have to be so poor, especially with so many people.
Not to mention anything else, when the monkeys were in the country of lions and camels, the self-built camps were more spectacular than their houses. Basically, you can use local materials, and you don't need to spend any money.
And, with so many people, why not take some time to level the place?
Humans can't move mountains, but monsters can really move mountains. An army of hundreds of thousands, spending a month, can dig up a few mountains and then gather all the buildings together. Isn't that convenient to manage?
The monkey's brows furrowed.
"Where do we stop?"
"At sea?"
As far as the eye can see, there seems to be no place like an airport. I guess I can only stop at sea.
"Could it be that their base camp is actually underground?" thought the monkey.
......
Swinging, the monkey's warship found a point slightly closer to the fishing village and descended slowly until it touched the surface of the sea. All of a sudden, the entire battleship shook violently.
Finally standing on his feet, a soldier had already run quickly to the monkey's side, and arched his hand: "General, someone is looking for you below." ”
"Below?"
Below, of course, it is outside the ship.
The monkey stuck his head out of the side of the ship, and saw a small boat next to the battleship, floating and heavy, with two youkai standing on board.
One was dressed like a farmer with patches, and the other was dressed in a gray robe and a turban, which looked like a mushroom.
I saw the lizard demon wearing a turban arching his hand towards the monkey and said, "You are General Sun Wukong, right?"
"Exactly!" shouted the monkey, at the top of his voice.
"The last general has been ordered to come and greet him, please!" said the lizard demon and pointed towards his little broken ship.
......
The monkey took Yanxi, and the white frost got on the little broken ship. It took a while more to get ashore.
This port, not to mention the military port of the demon clan, is even so dilapidated that it can't even be talked about as a human military port. Stepping on the planks and babbling.
There is a thatched house next to it, which is really a thatched house, and three scaly monsters with similar costumes to lizard spirits are drinking tea.
"You ...... It's really a fishing village that hasn't run away. ”
"Fishing village?"
"Isn't it? Or is it actually a trick?"
The lizard spirit who led the way smiled and nodded, "People who come for the first time ask that. General's side, please. ”
Led by the lizard spirit, the monkey walked step by step towards this small fishing village.
There's nothing to hope for in the building, it's basically a dilapidated fishing village, at most, it looks a little bigger. However, after walking a little inside, I can feel a little bit that there is an army living here.
Of course, it's just a little bit.
Unlike other armies covered in heavy armor, the Red Dragon Army basically wears robes and holds swords. Occasionally, some shoulder armor, handguards, and the like can be seen on the shoulders or wrists of some soldiers. If you don't have these, you'll probably treat them as ordinary demons.
But that's about it.
A place that is actually a barracks, with neither sentry posts nor patrolling guards in sight. Even if he is wearing shoulder armor and hand guards, he can be judged to be a general, either chatting about something in twos and threes, or practicing martial arts alone.
It's really weird, it's weird.
After a while, led by the lizardspirit, the monkey finally came to a thatched hall that looked decent.
At a height of two floors, the walls of the white mud house were cracked, and there was a small bare courtyard at the door, not even a decorative tree, not to mention the common stone tables and chairs.
Standing in front of the door, the lizard spirit bowed down and made a "please" gesture.
Taking a deep breath, the monkey walked in.
Soon, the group saw another lizard spirit in this thatched hall - Huang Sha!
......
Sitting upright, the attendant put the three tea cups in front of the monkey, Yanxi, and Baishuang.
Took a sip...... Very bitter tea.
Although the monkeys don't know how to taste tea, they can drink it, and the tea here is worse than the one in their own camp.
Taking a deep breath, the monkey said softly, "General Huangsha, may I ask, how can I meet His Royal Highness the Jiao Demon King?"
"Forehead......" hesitated slightly, and Huang Sha said: "You have to wait a little longer." ”
"Wait?"
"Yes. Huang Sha said softly: "The Demon King is not here, and he is worshipping the Buddha." So, we'll have to wait. ”
Turtles are not turtles
Not sure if there will be a change tomorrow.
