Chapter Ninety-Eight: Mission
The monkey was safely returned to camp. The soldiers who surrounded the camp also withdrew, and even all the items that had been taken were returned.
Everything seems to have gone back to before the accident. The only difference is probably the psychological state of everyone in the camp.
A moment ago, they were still being held with knives and held around their necks. After a moment, it was as if nothing was going on.
The change came too suddenly.
That feeling is like the enemy holding a knife to kill himself, but at the moment he fell, he suddenly stopped, and not only that, but also brought a candy ......
What's going on?
Everyone has a question mark in their head.
If you say before, it was the monkey who underestimated the viciousness of the leopard essence. And now?
Could it be that this world is actually beautiful? Could it be that the leopard spirit and the crocodile spirit suddenly changed their sex and converted to our Buddha?
The monkey can't figure it out, and the other little demons can't figure it out.
In general, during that time, the biggest characteristic of the monkey's psychological state was probably apprehension. He even wondered if it could be a bigger trap. I even thought about whether to be a deserter again. After all, now that the God Refining Realm is in place, it is not so easy to be caught if you escape. But he couldn't make up his mind to abandon all his companions.
So, he had to wait. Wait for the leopard spirit and crocodile spirit to show their claws.
However, no, nothing.
The monkey tentatively reopened the casino, the crocodile spirit did not come to make trouble, and the leopard spirit did not come to ask for money, and everything went so smoothly that the monkey was a little incredulous. It's as if the whole world has suddenly forgotten about itself.
That's ...... It's kind of incredible. Pie in the sky and on your head?
"You guys, you didn't hide anything from me, did you?" asked the monkey fox suspiciously, gathering everyone together.
The little demons were all at a loss.
After struggling for a long time, the monkey could only give up.
Send someone to ask the crocodile spirit and the leopard spirit? This is obviously impossible. Thank God if you don't come to find it, why bother to provoke yourself?
All in all, the life should still be lived, but no matter what, there is a stalk left in my heart.
Life in the camp has returned to the past, practicing every day, training soldiers, and opening gambling stalls at night, which can be regarded as everything going well. It's just that the money won is much less than before, and I don't know if the money of the demon soldiers has been lost, or if the novelty has passed, in short, the number of gamblers has decreased a lot.
Of course, now that there is no crocodile essence and leopard essence toss, the income is all their own, and it is quite smooth.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
The monkey's incomparably tough body recovered again, and at the same time, the cultivation of the big red, bull head, and black tail were also fed with full of pills, and they all went to the realm of accepting gods. Incidentally, the hoarfrost that lives by sucking the blood of monkeys is actually about to accept the divine realm...... Even the fat intestine cultivation that was far behind the large army had reached the peak of concentration.
Half a month later, they ushered in the rainy season of the lion camel country.
There is almost no vegetation in the country of lions and camels, and when it rains, the whole world seems to be immersed in mud. Everywhere you go, there is mud full of boots, so that the youkai are not happy to go out.
With the washing of the rain, the original heat is gone, and the demon soldiers on the path between the barracks have also decreased. Except for the soldiers who had to patrol with military orders, there were hardly anyone to be seen.
As a result, the business of Monkey Casino has also been worse.
Of course, it was originally an extra income, but there was no more, and the atmosphere in the barracks was not as impetuous as it used to be. Everyone is practicing with peace of mind.
During this period, I heard that the multi-eyed prime minister of the demon capital made a lot of moves, rebuilding the demon capital, rectifying the rule of officials, and implementing new laws. Almost all of the original subordinates of the Yu Tamarin King were sentenced, and the most serious ones were executed, and the lightest ones were also distributed, and even some of them absconded and became wanted criminals. Originally, the defenders of Demon Capital Town, one of the five major forces of the Demon Kingdom, completely fell apart. However, the Yu Tamarin, who is the main culprit, has not announced the punishment plan for a long time, but has been imprisoned.
Some people say that it is to contain those absconding Yu marmoset generals. Of course, what the specific reason is, I'm afraid only the multi-eyed prime minister and the demon emperor know.
In order to make up for the defensive void caused by the loss of the defenders of Demon Capital Town, Prime Minister Duomu ordered the Peng Demon King to send part of his troops to take over the original camp of the Yu Tamarin. In the midst of this, it probably went through a lot of tugging.
In short, a few families are happy and a few are sad. However, in the eyes of the monkeys, they are all things far away. It has no impact on the lion camel country, and it has nothing to do with himself. Just listen to it. It wasn't until half a month later that he suddenly received an order......
......
"You want me to ...... Ready to go?"
"Yes. ”
"Where is the destination?"
"Don't ask about this. ”
"Are there other troops together, how many troops are there on the other side?"
"Don't ask about that. ”
"And what may I ask?"
"You don't ask anything. This is a secret order directly issued by the demon capital, and when it arrives, you will naturally know. ”
This was the first meeting between the crocodile spirit and the monkey after they were released from prison. They can be regarded as old enemies of each other, as long as there is a little wind and grass, they can draw their swords at any time. But as a last resort, we still have to sit together.
After all, on the surface, one is a boss and the other is a subordinate. They all belong to the Lion Camel Army, and they still have to live by watching the Lion Camel King above their heads. As long as it is not time to tear his face, he still has to maintain a superficial harmony, pretending that nothing has happened to each other.
Of course, in the conversation between the two, a lingering indifference must be permanent.
After a long silence, the monkey asked again, "What about ...... Can I see why it's me?"
"Because your troops are recovering best. After that, the crocodile spirit didn't say much, turned around and left. The monkey was left alone to sit quietly in the tent, touching his chin. The frown furrowed.
The reason for prioritizing missions because the troops are recovering best may sound irrefutable. But...... Has the crocodile spirit ever made sense?
Moreover, in the last battle, the troops under the command of the crocodile spirit who really experienced the devastation of the war and suffered heavy losses seemed to be the only one, right? The other troops did not suffer any losses, so naturally they should not be able to talk about recovery.
Thinking about it, the monkey couldn't help but be suspicious.
Isn't this the expected "trap"?
Hardly giving the monkey a chance to think, the battleship had already reached the door of the monkey camp that night.
At the request of the crocodile spirit, the monkey could only take his own troops on board.
Soon, the monkey found that it was a full 20,000 troops on the expedition, and the treatment given was not the same as before, a battleship stuffed with a bunch of soldiers, but according to the standard.
Of course, there are also weird places. That is, as soon as they boarded the ship, all the portholes were sealed, so that the soldiers in the cabin were not allowed to know the situation outside, and even the soldiers who were originally attached to the battleship were not allowed to go to the deck except for the necessary.
"Brother Monkey, where are we going?"
Faced with the questioning of his subordinates, the monkey could only shake his head.
Not to mention where he went, crouching in the cabin, he didn't even know which direction the battleship was going.
"You say, is that crocodile spirit going to be bad again? After all, it's a bit unusual for him to release us from prison. ”
"Probably not...... That's an army of 20,000. Is he going to do evil to an army of twenty thousand?"
"That's not necessarily, have you forgotten the last time you poured the river estuary? 20,000 is a fart. ”
"If we do it again, what are we going to do? Why don't we just run away if we find the right opportunity? ”
"I don't think it's like it, if he wants to kill us, he could have died a long time ago, why let us out?"
"Do you think it's a pity for us to die in prison, and want to change the way of death, waste utilization? ”
"Less, do you think that crocodile will consider this?"
At first, a group of people chattered and discussed, but later, they simply stopped talking. The atmosphere in the cabin grew oppressive.
Perhaps because of the dullness, many people began to sleep, and the cabin was crooked and snoring. The monkey is the only one who is awake from beginning to end. However, he didn't figure out what he was going to do.
This time, even the unpredictable "intuition" failed to help him.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
At dawn, the crocodile spirit hurried into the cabin, waved his hand, and shouted, "Get up!"
At this shout, all the soldiers immediately woke up in a daze.
I only heard the crocodile spirit standing at the hatch and shouting to everyone: "Listen to Lao Tzu, fall to the ground in a while, anyone with two horns on his head, no one above the Shen Realm will be left, and the Contemplation Realm will be arrested, and if there is resistance, kill on the spot!"
