Chapter 253: Inside the Door and Outside the Door
Although Huaguoshan is still nominally in a wartime state, the core team of Huaguoshan knows in their hearts that the tacit understanding reached with Nantianmen is enough to ensure the temporary safety of Huaguoshan. And this pseudo-wartime state will remain for quite some time. During this time, it is impossible for the monsters of Huaguo Mountain to be unproductive all the time.
In that case, the hard-won time would be meaningless.
When the day dawned, according to the monkey's order, the four gates of the castle were opened as before, and many yokai went out of the city to work with their tools as before.
However, almost no one dared to walk through the south gate where the hydra was located.
For such a big demon as the nine-headed insect, let alone a monkey, even the heavenly court should be afraid of it. Regarding the strength of the hydra, after the hydra left, the monkey has been sorted out and distributed. Now the entire Huaguo Mountain knows that there is a big demon whose strength is comparable to that of a monkey at the south gate.
In this case, youkai with a slightly longer brain will choose to take two more steps around the city instead of going straight out of the city through the south gate. This led to the fact that although the south gate, which was supposed to be lively and lively, was open at the moment, it was still cold and empty, except for the remaining gatekeepers who had to appear here because of their work, standing trembling one by one.
Huaguoshan Demon City has many differences from human city-states, one of which is that the throughput of the city gate is extremely large.
This is mainly because the people who live in the city and those who work outside the city are completely different groups of people, and most of the people from outside the city enter the city to catch the market. But not in this demon city.
If it was a normal early morning or dusk, the demon guards at the south gate should be busy checking thousands of waist cards. Today, they are all idle.
Actually, they prefer to be a little busy. If you can get busy. Maybe you can forget that there is a big monster not far away, so that you don't feel furious.
However, this wish was obviously impossible to come true, and as time passed, the news of the Hydra Lai at the South Gate spread more and more widely. The traffic of this south gate has also changed from occasionally seeing three or two monsters walking together when the door was first opened, to now not seeing half of it.
This made the demon soldiers who were facing the nine-headed insect even more painful, so they had to secretly pray that time would pass quickly so that they would be handed over quickly, and that they would not have to stay here and feel uncomfortable.
As for the hydra, it still sat cross-legged motionless. It looks like it's a refreshment with your eyes closed. But even if he has no eyesight, he can see at a glance that he is flustered.
Not to mention how ugly his face was, just the beads of sweat hanging on his forehead in this slightly cool season were enough to explain it.
In the afternoon, a breeze blew, and the monkey appeared again at the head of the city at the south gate.
This was the third time he'd been here since talking to Hydra last night. There is no doubt that the existence of the hydra has caused him a certain amount of trouble, so that he has to remember this place.
As for the question of how to deal with the request of the hydra, he still has no answer in his mind.
If it was before, he could have ignored this kind of thing, or he could have sent a peach directly if he was in a good mood. But not anymore.
Now he is the king of Huaguo Mountain, and his every move is watched. He had to take into account the impact of every move.
If he doesn't send it, he has to worry about what moths will come out of the nine-headed insect breaking the jar. It doesn't matter if you're yourself. But the little demons of Huaguo Mountain can't afford it. Send, if it is unconditional, it will be weak, and it will be difficult to do things internally and externally in the future. If there are conditions, such as taking the nine-headed insect under his command, and worrying about luring the wolf into the house.
Of course, there is also one last way, that is, to directly slaughter the nine-headed worm, and it will be a hundred.
But is the nine-headed insect so easy to kill? To deal with this kind of big demon is to take action yourself, bring a cadre of generals from Huaguo Mountain, and then pull it up to the Nantianmen, and there is no problem in holding him after a toss......
Don't forget what the prototype of this guy is, if he turns into a demon body, he will ignite the entire demon city in an instant.
If it is really so noisy, it will definitely delay the development of Huaguoshan in the end and lose the precious time that has been won so hard. If he could, the monkey wouldn't want to take that step anyway.
Thinking about it, the monkey couldn't help but sigh.
He suddenly felt that the nine-headed insect lying in front of the door was similar to himself who knelt in front of the door of the three-star cave of the slanting moon. It's just that now it's yourself who stands in Subodhi's position.
"The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. He couldn't help but laugh.
Unexpectedly, the people standing inside the door were more entangled than those outside the door.
Did Subodhi ever suffer as much as he did in the first place?
Fame, status, and responsibility go hand in hand, and it doesn't seem entirely good now. The more you gain, the more you have to tie up, and the more you lose.
That "king" really didn't suffer in vain.
In order to seek the living space of the demon, in order to one day go to the underworld to check the book of life and death to resurrect the finch, in order to fight against the power that plays with his fate behind his back, he finally came to this point. But is this really what you want?
Maybe when time passes, I will want to take the finches back into hiding.
If only there was such a day.
Turning his face sideways, he saw Ao Tingxin standing not far away, secretly observing the hydra through the fence.
The monkey raised his voice slightly and shouted, "Do you know him?"
Na Ao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly lifted his skirt and lowered his posture and quickly ran to the monkey's side: "Shhhh
The monkey looked at the nine-headed insect outside the city with its eyes closed, and then at the nervous Ao Tingxin and asked, "Do you really know him?"
"Met once. Ao Tingxin said casually, and then carefully observed the hydra through the fence.
That serious look made the monkey a little stunned.
How many sides does this Ao Tingxin have?
At the beginning, in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, she seemed to be a gentle lady and scheming. originally wanted to be taken back to Huaguo Mountain as a military advisor, but after being taken back, he became unscrupulous and made malicious jokes with monkeys all day long.
Of course, fortunately, she didn't touch the monkey's bottom line, otherwise she would have been locked up. From this point of view, she can be regarded as a smart person who knows how to grasp the balance very well.
But what's the deal with this serious appearance? It's been a long time since I've seen her so serious.
Ao Tingxin soon noticed that the monkey had been watching him from the side, turned his head and asked casually, "What are you doing?"
Staring at Ao Tingxin, the monkey asked earnestly, "This guy looks like he's hooking up with an ignorant girl everywhere, ...... You won't be hooked up too, will you?" (To be continued......)
