Chapter 821: On the Shore and on the Boat
The Beast Division's warship slowly sailed into the harbor, and the city of Wave Riding was full of empty alleys.
The docks, the walls, the wilderness, the curious people, the soldiers in talisman armor tried to keep the crowd from approaching the shore, and soon gave up their futile efforts, they had to keep themselves safe, and confronting too many spectators would only make them fall into the water.
The residents of Treading Wave City are by no means shallow, and the things that can make them forget the pain of battle for a while will naturally not be simple, not flying warships, nor the hundreds of demon clans on board, but those rare exotic beasts and spirit beasts.
Huge lion tigers, deer and sheep glowing all over their bodies, rare birds with strange feathers, and elusive sea beasts...... Each beast is a legend, passed down by word of mouth among fishermen, farmers, and hunters for thousands of years, and most people have never seen one in their lifetime, but the beast master brought more than 300 at once.
Alien beasts are scarce in number, usually far away from humans and demons, and only maintain loose ties and basic trust with each other, so the one who can find and summon a strange beast is usually another alien beast. The sparseness in Xiao Artemisia's hand is the beginning of catching strange beasts, with it, many strange beasts have voluntarily established a spirit rhino with the beast master, and only a few strange beasts have made a fierce resistance.
Most of the beasts are shy and vigilant, and they don't like crowds, so they hide in the wide cabins blessed by spells, and occasionally poke their heads down, which always causes a burst of exclamations.
In addition to more than 300 strange beasts, there are more than 400 spirit beasts on the ship, and there is no way to take away all the belongings when the Taoist generals retreat, and some of the spirit beasts that are not so rare and precious are left in their hometowns, they are not afraid of people, and some of them love to show off, and they go to the sky and the sea around the warship, attracting a lot of attention.
The applause came in waves, until someone pointed out a fact that was obvious but automatically ignored by many.
"There are so many demons on the ship, can you believe it, will these beasts turn to attack us humans?"
The voice of doubt is not loud, but it spreads quickly. Like a poisonous snake in the sound wave, zigzag forward, and people's hearts change abruptly everywhere they pass.
Treading Wave City has just experienced a tragic battle, although the initiator is a half-demon, but it is those demon clans who directly fight with humans, and the cheers are getting weaker, even the black dragon that appears for a moment and suddenly disappears, it can't make the audience's eyes shine, but brings a panic: If this dragon suddenly goes crazy and attacks Treading Wave City, can humans stop it?
The crowd began to retreat. The soldiers of the Xuanfu Army of the Wave Country became the target of accusations.
"Why did you let the demon ship into the harbor?"
"They're not here to save the demon captives, are they?"
"Don't let them come to the shore. ”
......
The soldiers who were still leisurely watching just now, at this time, raised their swords and guns in their hands, waiting for the orders of their superiors, their hearts were uneasy, their eyes turned, looking for traces of the talisman master and the scattered cultivators everywhere, without the help of spells, they did not know how to deal with a group of huge and powerful enemies.
The Beast Division's warship did not dock, and stopped when it was still three miles from the dock. The warships of the wave-treading country are far away, quietly preparing for battle.
The scattered cultivators flew in the air, and the talisman master hurriedly stood up...... No one could tell why, and the reinforcements coming from afar suddenly became very suspicious.
The people on the shore watched the beast master on the ship. The ship's beast master was also checking on the humans on the shore.
On the entire ship, only Yin Bushen was not a beast master, his arms were propped on the side of the ship, and he let out a long sigh, which was a new habit he had developed in the past half a month. sighed anytime and anywhere, as if he had a very heavy heart, but Xiao Hao always said that he was terminally ill and would die soon.
"Look. This is the human race and the demon race, hate each other, beware of each other, the only change in the past hundred thousand years, is that the hatred is getting deeper and deeper, the spirit king wants to persuade these people to attack Wangshan together, but I am afraid that there is not much hope. ”
The beast masters on the ship were also looking at Treading Wave City from afar, and as soon as the humans on the shore were nervous, they also became nervous and established contact with their beast refining objects, just in case.
Artemisia was the only one who was not interested in the whole situation, sitting on the barrel beside Yin Bushen, with his back to the dock, and carefully cleaning the back shell of Yu Yu with a small brush, Yu Xiao could not say whether it was enjoyment or helplessness, and his head and feet and limbs were all hanging weakly.
"Who said that the Spirit King would persuade the Talang Kingdom to attack Wangshan?" said Xiao Hao without raising his head.
"Needless to say, the Spirit King wants to declare war on the demon clan, of course he wants to unite a qiē force, does he want to fight to Wangshan with just these hundreds of beast masters?" Yin Bushen shook his head, laughed twice, and then sighed, even if Mu Xingqiu could gather a million troops, he didn't feel safe.
"That's not for sure, it's impossible to win a battle with the demons by conventional means......
"Yes, yes, that's what I want to say, we should explain this truth clearly to the Spirit King, and ......" Yin Bushen turned his head and glanced at Xiao Hao, indicating that everyone knew who he was talking about.
Xiao Hao didn't look at him at all, dangling his two calves, and continued: "This kind of thing is never ready for fighting: the demons have an advantage, we have to increase our strength, and when we finally have an advantage, the demons will find a way to increase their strength, you chase me, there is no end." ”
"Then you have to prepare and you have to chase it. Yin Bushen's voice trembled.
"Haha, what are you afraid of, there is no road ahead, you go forward, and the people behind you will follow the footprints to follow, and if there are more people, the road will become. There is a road behind you, and further forward is just a direction. Xiao Hao sneered, "Do I look like Zuo Liuying with these words?"
Yin Bushen opened his mouth, he didn't care about anything that didn't go away, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "Spirit King...... What the hell do you think?"
"It's a time to do rather than think. Artemisia grinned, very happy to imitate Zuo Liuying's speech.
The more Yin Bushen listened, the more confused he became, and suddenly there was a loud sound not far away, Yin Bushen was startled, hurriedly shrank his head, and then looked at it little by little.
The other beast masters had already seen what was going on, Yang Qingyin was not there, Gan Zhiquan was in charge of the warship, and snorted, "The country of treading waves is really hospitable, and asked us to withdraw from the port thirty miles away." ”
"King Korn wants us to wait for her at the harbor. Brother Gan Zhiwei said.
"Of course, you have to carry out the orders of the Spirit King, Feifei, and use your strange beast to give an answer to the Wave Riding Kingdom. ”
"Yes. Feifei looked very nervous, but he didn't mess up at all when he carried out the order, his object of refining the beast was Xuanwu Annihilation, and he was usually not around, but stayed dozens or even hundreds of miles away.
At least fifty miles away, there was a low cry that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, like a whale but not a whale, and a wave as high as more than 100 zhang rose into the sky, and the inhabitants of the country of treading waves could see it, and watched the waves rushing towards the port.
The talisman masters immediately sacrificed talismans and defused the waves thirty miles away, which was not a particularly powerful attack, but for the inhabitants who did not understand magic, it had the potential to be overwhelming.
Yin Bushen sneered a few times, "Okay, the Wave Stepping Country can't be counted on, it's good that they don't regard the Beast Master as their opponent." Eight hundred beast masters fight the demon clan and sacrifice the country alone, it is worth writing a long poem. ”
"Can you write?" said Artemisia's eyes lit up.
"I ...... Hehe......" Yin Bushen wanted to say, "I can run", after thinking about it, he decided that it would be better not to tell the truth, "Look, the demon clan has not yet appeared, this world is already a group of demons dancing, the country of sacrifice is a demon, the country of treading waves, the Holy Rune Dynasty is a demon, and even the beast master of the Spirit King is also a demon." ”
"Where do you start with that?" Xiao Artemisia was a little surprised, feeling that Yin Bushen had snatched her words, although she still didn't understand what they meant.
Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin were not there, after getting along for a while, they found that Xiao Artemisia was not so ruthless, Yin Bushen became a lot more courageous, and whispered: "For us poor worms who just want to live, the devil is killing, and now in this world, everyone who has a little ability has to kill wantonly, the purpose is different, and the means are not the same, but in our eyes, it is the same thing as the demon race." Kill Kill Kill Kill ...... When the human race and the demon race are all dead, it is time for the Dao system to come out, so the two demons will fight it out. ”
Xiao Artemisia found that she was actually a little moved by what she said, and muttered: "The demons are dancing wildly, and the beast master is also a demon...... It's kind of interesting, what would Zuo Liuying say at such a time?"
Yin Bushen didn't care about Zuo Liuying, "There are not many people in this world who are worth running to, the Spirit King is one, but I also have my own principles, if I leave the Wave Country, the Spirit King will still have this boat and seven or eight hundred beast masters, I ...... I had no choice but to take my leave. I'm just a little bug, and when the demons are running around, there is no room for me to survive, so I'd better hide in the darkest underground. Hey, what's that?"
Yin Bushen squatted down again, then slowly stood up and looked into the city.
Not only him, but also the beast masters on the ship all turned to the city, their faces surprised. Xiao Hao couldn't help but be curious, jumped on top of the barrel and looked at Treading Wave City, the Yu Yu in her hand struggled desperately, and wanted to see it clearly, she raised her arm, and Yu Yu quieted down.
The inhabitants of the Wave Nation turned around in droves, looked at each other, and never looked back.
Inside the city, which should be the location of the palace garden, a huge statue of three gods was raised.
"Whose spell is this?" said a voice of disbelief from the crowd.
"This is the spell of the ancient gods, a month ago, wasn't the ancient gods killing the half-demons?"
"Old God, it's impossible......"
"Old gods, it is possible to ......"
"Old Gods ......"
Although the idol is huge, it is lifelike, slowly rotating, and the three are facing the crowd in turn, the scales on the snake's body, the bone of the skull, the eyebrows of the female head, and the thunder character of the faceless head...... A qiē is as close as it is in front of you.
There seemed to be a breeze blowing, without any sound or explanation, but it blew away all doubts and puzzles, and everyone was convinced that this was really the manifestation of the ancient gods, not any magic of humans and demons.
The tension and vigilance disappeared, and the tense atmosphere vanished in an instant.
"This thing...... Can it be used to attack the demons?" Yin Bushen asked in a low voice.
"How many times can you use this trick?" Xiao Hao was also asking, asking Mu Xingqiu, who was not in front of him.
