Chapter 323: Blockade
As the saying goes, a snake hits seven inches. The Macaque King obviously knows where the seven inches of the poisonous snake of the Peng Demon King are.
Half a day ago, the Owl Marching Army was still in urgent need of a marriage with the Dragon Clan, and if they didn't, then they could only choose between reducing their strength and completely collapsing.
Half a day later, the situation of the Owl Marching Army has reached the point where they need the dragons to save their lives, and if they can't marry the dragons, then they will only have to collapse.
As a result of not being allowed to put out the fire, important supplies were almost completely destroyed. After a big battle, there were heavy casualties, and a large number of pills were urgently needed. The problem is that the large amount of elixir that is urgently needed is also among the materials that have been completely destroyed.
This is like a knife in the heart of the marching army.
However, it is clear that there is more to it than that, and more troublesome problems are yet to come.
"Have you ever seen someone's house on fire and prevent others from saving it? In the warehouse, I'm afraid there's something we can't see, right?"
A simple question quickly appeared in the minds of several demon kings, including monkeys.
"Blacktail, Bull Head, you two hurry up and go say hello to the Bull Demon King and the Jiao Demon King. I'll go and say it myself. β
"Huh?"
On the night of the fire, because the men and horses of the marching army stopped them, no one entered the fire, and they could only burn it. On the periphery of Bird Mountain, the New Army, the Withered Leaves, the Jiao's Nest, the Lion and Camel Country, including the Incisors and the Owl Marching Army's own men and horses gathered in piles, all whispering.
"You asked me to order that the merchants of the demon capital are not allowed to trade with the Peng Demon King?" Wangxi looked at the monkey in surprise.
"It's not for you, it's for Prime Minister Duomu to order. The monkey took a deep breath and said, "I have already told Prime Minister Duomu that the one who plundered the armies before was the men and horses of the Peng Demon King. β
"But you don't have proof. β
"He didn't let us into the fire, do you need any evidence?" the monkey snorted, "Not only can't we enter, but even their own people are not allowed to enter, for fear that we will get in." What does this mean? It means that there is something terrible in it, and we must not be allowed to see it. In order not to let us see, even at the expense of giving up completely, it is also at the expense of it. β
But even that doesn't prove that what was in it was from the armies they plundered. Moreover, without a suitable reason, it is inconvenient to do such a thing as prohibiting the trader from trading with the demon king. β
"Isn't it easy to find a reason?"
Looking around, the fire had spread to the ground, and several buildings had collapsed in the fire. Firefighting is allowed on the ground, but unfortunately the fire is too big and spreads from the inside out, and the effect of firefighting on the ground is really not great.
After a pause, the monkey continued: "The Peng Demon King and the Macaque King are basically in the same group. The actual strength of the marching army is far more than what they reported. If you don't believe me, now is your chance to be verified. The military budget of the Owl March was very tight, so tense that it was beyond everyone's imagination. Their inventory is very small, and the silver claws on hand are also very small. As long as the traders are forbidden to trade with them, it is as if they are put on a rope and strangled, and soon, they will show more horses' feet. β
Wangxi looked at the monkey with a blank face.
After a moment of silence, the monkey added: "The Peng Demon King has a holy decree to marry the dragon clan in his hand, and the Macaque King has appeared in Que Mountain for some reason, and now he has not allowed us to put out the fire." These are all doubts. Don't you think it's too risky to let such a suspicious person marry the dragon clan?"
Probably the last words of the monkey played a role, Wangxi said softly: "I know, I will convey your suggestion to Senior Brother." β
"Okay. The monkey smiled and stepped back, a foot away, before turning and raising his cloak and leaving.
The corners of Wangxi's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit.
"Brother Monkey, I've told them all. Blacktail just came back and quickly followed the monkey.
"How?"
"It's all noncommittal, I'm afraid not. β
"No, they'll do it, they just don't want to promise us in person. β
Looking around, in the distance, the Bull Demon King, the Jiao Demon King, and the Flower Spot are all looking towards the monkey intentionally or unintentionally. The wangxi behind him had already attracted someone, whispering something in a low voice.
"It seems that they all want us to go ahead against the Peng Demon King. β
"What then?"
"I can only walk ahead, what else can I do?"
......
The fire was not extinguished until the next morning. In other words, it is impossible to burn and will be extinguished automatically. Monkeys, Bull Demon Kings, Jiao Demon Kings and other reinforcements actually waited patiently until the next morning.
Of course, it's not so much to stay and wait to see where to help, but to stay and see what loopholes can be drilled under the banner of encircling and suppressing the macaque king.
Although the scope of the fire is actually underground, and the damage to the buildings on the ground is very limited, the chaos it created is enough for Queshan to drink a pot.
First of all, in order to prevent outsiders from entering the fire, the attack had to mobilize all his own soldiers to guard the entrance. In this way, there is less control over other places.
This is an army, an extremely vicious demon army. How much can happen to an out-of-control demon army?
There are countless fights and brawls, and there are even cases of robbing oneself. The Peng Demon King didn't have the energy to take care of it, and no one was in charge of the attack, and as a result, it became more and more intense. No one knows exactly how much damage was caused by the fire, but just looking at the surface, the damage caused by the situation getting out of control is enough to choke.
Secondly, there is also the impetus of various armies falling into the ground. The monkeys even sent people to disguise themselves as various armies, including the Owl Marching Army, to loot and cause trouble everywhere. As a result, all the armies followed suit and plundered, as if to avenge the previous raids of the macaque king.
At this moment, the march of the owl can be described as a wall that is pushed by everyone. During this period, the entire Bird Mountain was a bad debt, so rotten that it couldn't be explained no matter what.
It wasn't until the next morning that the fire was finally extinguished, and the angry Peng Demon King sent a raid over.
"His Majesty the Demon King asked the last general to thank the demon kings and the generals for their help. Now that the fire has been extinguished, please go back first. Later, when the internal affairs of our army are almost sorted out, the Demon King will send someone to send a thank you gift to you. β

The Bull Demon King, the Jiao Demon King, the Monkey and the Spotted exchanged glances, and immediately, the monkey stood up and said, "We have all seen the losses of the Owl March, thank you, there is no need." But we don't seem to be here for the fire, do we?"
Zheng Zheng frowned slightly, looking at the monkey.
After a pause, the monkey continued, "We are here for the macaque king. Now that the macaque king hasn't been caught, we just go back, which seems a little inappropriate. β
"The Macaque King is no longer in the Finchhill Realm. β
"Really? How do you know? The Macaque King told you? Or do you have some skill to know where the Macaque King is, but not let us know?"
The monkey stared at the attack with wide eyes and smiled.
The corners of Zheng's eyes twitched violently, and he was about to say something, but the monkey's expression suddenly eased, and said, "Just kidding, since that's the case, then we'll go back and wait for the Demon King's thank you." β
With that, the monkey turned and walked away with his own men.
Looking at the back of the monkey from a distance, the Bull Demon King snorted coldly, glanced at the attack again, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Soon, several other groups of people also left.
It was only at this point that Zheng Zheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked into the long tunnel beside him.
......
In the spacious apse, the Peng Demon King stood alone, holding a piece of jade in his hand.
The palm-sized jade is flattened, with an uncarved white fluorescence visible to the naked eye on one side and a flat cut mark on the other. It looks like it was cut from a larger piece of jade.
"The Demon King of Qiqi has been sent away. β
"It's good to send it away, you send someone to count the urgently needed materials, especially the pills, and contact the merchants in the demon capital, so that they can send them over quickly. β
"However, our Silver Claws may not be enough. β
"Then take credit, I'm a demon king, can't I afford this account?"
"No!"
"Also, mobilize the elite, before the big wedding, I will kill him first. This person can't stay. β
"No!"
......
At the same time, the monkey who had just walked out of the mountain whispered to the black tail beside him, "Send more people to keep an eye on the entire mountain." They're sure to have new moves soon. β
"No!"
