Chapter 412: Cave in the Ground
It used to be a small town of humans, but after six years of occupation by demon soldiers, the houses have been torn down and scattered, and all the wood and stone have been used to build guard towers, livestock pens and burrows - the beasts like to live in caves and build a shed on top of them, and the half-demons try to imitate the habits of the beasts and demons, digging large and small caves - occasionally revealing a section of bluestone pavement, proving that humans once lived here.
There are about 3,000 demon soldiers stationed in the stronghold, due to the large number of stragglers, this number is fluctuating at any time, the brave and good demon soldiers are surrounded by the big and small leaders with food, and the weak are difficult to even eat, and they can be eliminated with a rapid march.
With only a few pieces of meat, a group of powerful demons can be made to be loyal to them, which surprised several fake Taoist priests, especially Xin Youtao, "How much does Xijieguo spend every year in order to feed an army, do you know? Alas, it's a pity that these are all demons, otherwise ......"
The tall figure of Lao Bang appeared out of the door of the cave, blocking the little sunlight, "Let's go, Yishijun is free now." β
Mu Xingqiu and the others had already taken a bath, and after changing into a beast skin coat, there was still a sour smell, he walked to the door, and asked with a smile: "Yi Shijun won't want to eat our palms, right?"
Mu Xingqiu's feidian pretending to be was deeply appreciated by Lao Bang, but the bear demon was full of stern sΓΉ at this time, and his voice was rarely quiet, without the meaning of roaring, "If Yi Shijun wants to eat your palm, you will stretch your hand over, and if you want to eat your head, you will stretch your head over, in short, his request cannot be violated." He is a descendant of the Old Gods, and he eats any part of you. It's all good for you, you know?"
"Hmm. Mu Xingqiu nodded.
More than twenty demon soldiers had lined up outside, and walked to the depths of the stronghold under the leadership of Lao Bang.
Mu Xingqiu glanced up. The demon clouds were indeed gone, and instead of them, guarding the sky were groups of flying demons, who lived in the lair at the top of the watchtower, and rarely landed to communicate with the demon clan who did not grow wings.
The captives still lived with Yuwang Vadong, and his hide-and-skin tent was very conspicuous, located northwest of the stronghold, with no burrows within a hundred paces of him.
The four domales come up with a plan. If the new Yishi Jun summoned the little demon just to devour, they naturally couldn't obediently send meat, so they could only use spells to kidnap the new monarch. Then the eleven Taoist prisoners were snatched out. Looking at the meaning of the beasts and demons, the new monarch has a high status, and may be able to make the demon soldiers throw a mouse, if possible. They also wanted to capture King Yu Dong alive.
This is the worst option. Mu Xingqiu preferred to save people after leaving the stronghold, because he hadn't figured out the strength of the entire stronghold, and none of the most difficult sorcerers had been seen, and the most important thing was that they didn't know how capable Xinjun was.
If you only look at the attitude of the beast demon towards Xinjun, he seems to be really a "descendant of the gods", omnipotent, and can wipe out a human army with a single breath. But Mu Xingqiu inquired carefully, and no demon had seen Xinjun perform witchcraft with his own eyes. The scene about Xinjun devouring the little demon was vividly told, and Mu Xingqiu didn't even dare to convey it to Xin Youtao in too much detail.
Located in the middle of the stronghold, the new king's cave looks the same as the other caves, with a slightly raised roof that is half a man high, covered with branches and dead grass, and even more rudimentary than a human horse pen.
The demons waited outside for a while, and Lao Bang and a few beast demons stood respectfully, with low eyebrows and eyes like fierce dogs that had just caused trouble, and their breathing was still so heavy, like a row of bellows.
The four fake demons stood at the end of the line, quietly observing the situation around them, Xin Youtao lightly bumped Mu Xingqiu with his shoulder, signaling him to look not far away. More than a dozen women were washing piles of clothes, they were definitely human, not only wearing human clothes, but also their eyes were evasive, more timid than half-demons, the most obvious evidence of which was a banshee who was guarding them.
The banshee was wearing leather armor, carrying a large wooden stick full of iron nails in her hand, her appearance was quite upright, she should be a half-demon, but her face was quite violent, and she bared her teeth and roared in a low voice from time to time.
Qi Wushang claims to kill all humans, but before this plan is fully realized, he still needs humans to serve as slaves.
I don't know which demon soldier glanced at the female slave girl who was working twice, causing the banshee to be dissatisfied, roaring in her mouth, raising her hand and waving a wooden stick, warning the demon soldiers with bad intentions.
The demon soldiers laughed in unison, no one was afraid of a banshee, and the nervousness of seeing that Xinjun might be eaten was reduced a lot, and several beast demons at the head of the team even roared, but it was unprecedentedly gentle, and unprecedentedly weird.
Enraged, the banshee returned with a blow to the head of a slave girl, then picked up the corpse with the other hand and threw it at the beast demons who teased her. The banshee's arm strength was amazing, and the corpse of dozens of catties was as easy as a javelin in her hand, and it smashed towards the target with the sound of the wind. The half-demon soldier immediately put away his smile and began to suspect that this banshee might be of beast demon blood, but the beast demons didn't care, they kicked and fought for the corpse, Lao Bang was the winner, holding the corpse as if he had gotten a bouquet of flowers, and smirked a few times.
Xin Youtao felt a burst of nausea, turned his head to look at Mu Xingqiu, and found that the face behind the beard had become iron-blue, but he was a little relieved, no matter how much Mu Xingqiu loved to fight and how close his relationship with the beast demon was, he was still a human being, he was still a Taoist, and he would not hesitate when killing demons and demons.
The four false demons failed to save the human woman, but the hatred for the demons in their hearts deepened.
The door of the cave opened, and a gorgeously dressed little demon walked up, just looking at his dress and appearance, he would mistake him for a pure-bred human, he just walked out and saw the corpse in Lao Banghe's arms, he was startled, his face turned white, and he shouted: "You, what do you want to do?"
Lao Bump was also startled, and threw the body far back to the banshee, rubbing his hands together uneasily, rubbing blood everywhere, "Let's make a little joke......"
"Joke? Is this a place to joke? It's not your first time here, don't you know the temper of the envoy?"
Lao Bu became more and more panicked, "I, I know, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes again." The old man turned and ran away.
"He's not stupid at all, look at this escape, it's natural and reasonable, it's just ...... That banshee wouldn't be his concubine. Did you plan it with him in advance?" Xin Youtao exclaimed in a low voice.
The inside of the cave is completely different from the outside, it is wide, bright, clean, and it can be said that it is spotless. It is not an exaggeration to use it as a memory room for Taoist priests. There are not many furnishings in the cave, all of them are wooden tables, wooden frames and other utensils, on which all kinds of demon organs are neatly stacked, there are more than a dozen of the whole head alone, under the blessing of the witchcraft, it still keeps part of it fresh and not completely rotten.
The little demon stopped the demon soldier in a small area at the door. They were not allowed to approach, "It's dirty, don't you know what it means to be clean?"
The demon soldiers were terrified. I didn't dare to open my mouth to refute, although it was an honor to be eaten by Xinjun, but everyone hoped that this glory would come as late as possible, and no one wanted one of their parts to become one of the exhibits here.
Mu Xingqiu took a quick look. He even ventured to use the Celestial Eye. found that there were no more demons in the cave, and the new monarch had obviously not arrived yet.
The little demon picked up a long thin wooden stick, with a demon pill eye stuck to the end, "Whoever I point to, whoever reports the location of the demon pill." β
Starting from the beast demon, the wooden sticks are pointed one after another, and the demon eye can detect the level of the demon pill, which is similar to the bronze mirror of the Dao system. The little demon muttered in his mouth, and a knife on the table next to him automatically carved handwriting on a wide piece of bone.
"One foot two. One zhang four, nine feet, one zhang four, four feet...... Four feet? You are also called a demon pill, isn't your demon body a little shorter than yourself? Go out, go out immediately, and don't come back. β
The four-foot demon soldier was grateful, bowed to the little demon, and ran out of the hole on the steps with a rolling belt, and sure enough, he never came back.
Xin Youtao is really envious of this half-demon, the four of them all used the demon pill when they pretended to be demons, and the worst one was more than two zhang, but fortunately, they were all dead pills, and after being coated with the seven-star essence, they could only show four or five percent of their strength.
When the last four demon soldiers were detected, the little demon was a little confused, and the wooden stick pointed back and forth four or five times, "Strange, your demon pill...... Strange, how can I not find out how big the demon is? β
Ouyang Lance was a little flustered, the entire dress-up process was handled by him, with his previous understanding of the demon clan, it should be foolproof, but he didn't expect that this new monarch's demon magic was so powerful, a demon eye could actually recognize their abnormality.
"Uh...... That's the case, we were injured in the land of demons before, and we haven't been completely healed, and we haven't cultivated for a long time. β
"Hunted down by a Taoist priest?" the little demon asked sympathetically.
"Yes, a group of Taoist priests besieged us, and my demon pill was almost destroyed. Ouyang pointed to the horns on his head, this was his "demon pill".
"A group of Taoist priests?" the little demon laughed disdainfully, given that beast demons like to brag, he didn't particularly doubt it, put away the wooden stick, and muttered for a moment, "Since the four of you are injured and can't cultivate, is it still useful?"
"It's useless, you can go to the battlefield and kill humans. Xin Youtao hurriedly replied, feeling that this was an opportunity to leave the terrifying cave, and he didn't want to be tough in the demon stronghold.
"Twenty-five, four less is fine, but ......" The little demon was still thinking, and suddenly there was a crisp sound from the other end of the cave.
There was obviously another secret passage in the cave, and a young demon hurriedly walked over, his body swayed, as if he couldn't help the wind, holding a big horn in both hands, and said sadly: "Oh, this is the third demon pill that I touched today, it's good enough to be hard enough, I must be careful in the future......"
The demon looked to be in his twenties, his face was a kind of pale that had not seen the light of day for a long time, his eyes were large, but his gaze was very blank, as if shrouded in a layer of wet mist, until he approached the little demon, only to find a group of demons standing at the door.
"What are these things?"
"You forgot, Lord Alien Envoy, this is the Demon of Shengdan sent by Lao Bang, you want twenty, and he sent twenty-five. β
The envoy remembered it and let out a long sigh, "I want it, but I don't need it today, the Taoist spies are mixed in the barracks, and we have to find them out first." β
"Spy?" the little demon asked in surprise.
"Yes, what a strange thing, there is a Taoist priest pretending to be a demon clan. The envoy said lightly, as if he was accustomed to this, and his eyes were still fixed on the big horn in his arms.
Mu Xingqiu and the others were shocked and glanced at each other.
