Chapter 81: Swimming Against the Current
The thick water flow of the 300-mile Qingxi River is not out of nowhere, but is composed of streams and small rivers between the mountains and plains, which converge into three headwaters and integrate into it, so that it has the style of resembling Wolong across four or five hundred meters on both sides of the bank at this time, and stretches for dozens of miles.

At this time, one of the three headwaters of the Cheonggye River was at the mouth of the river where the Cancer Water met it, and Wu Gyu came here with Black Scale and Crab Er after leaving the waters ruled by the Rock Commander Pang Yan.
With his feet on the water and his eyes looking at the nearby scenery, Wu Gui felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, melancholy and at the same time slightly sighed that the flowers were not yesterday's flowers.
Thirty-one years ago, he was still a self who didn't know the height of the sky and the earth, and his strength had just reached the early stage of cultivation in the realm of demon beasts, and it was from here that he stepped into the vast river of Qingxi River.
After experiencing the captivity of Shrimp Three, he followed Shrimp Mao and the Purple Sword Sect to form a grudge, obtained the help of Lao Turtle, who was one of the four demon generals, and participated in the battle between the two clans of the Qingxi River Demon that can be said to be triggered by him, and once again faced the covenant of the Three Swords when he was a child, the inheritance of the old turtle and many other things......
At this time, Wu Gui suddenly discovered that in addition to retreat cultivation and creation exercises, he had unknowingly experienced so many things in the past thirty-one years, and even if his strength was not the top word, he was no longer a cannon fodder at the mercy of others in the Qingxi River, and he was already a figure who could be regarded as a person on the stage.
It wasn't clear why Wu Gui brought him and Crab Er here, but he still saw his position very clearly, so he chose to be silent and looked at Wu Gui quietly.
Compared to the black scales, Crab Er didn't think about it so much, or he didn't think too much about anything else in his mind except eating, and looked at Wu Gui with a blank eye and asked, "Boss, what are you doing here, no matter how you look at it, there are no delicious aquatic plants growing there." ”
Although he asked the same question as the one he asked, he also asked the doubts in Black Scale's heart, and he also wanted to know what Wu Gui was going to do when he brought them here.
Letting go of the emotion and memories in his heart, Wu Gui pointed to the source of the Qingxi River in front of him and said with a smile: "We will go upstream later, I will take you to see the scenery I saw when I came to the Qingxi River from the stream and the small river thirty-one years ago, and by the way, I recruited some people." ”
"Boss, do you mean you're going to go up this stream and recruit some of these scattered demons?"
Black Scales is not like Crab Er, a stunned man, as soon as Wu Gui's words were finished, he thought about it a little and clearly understood the meaning of Wu Gui's words.
However, he couldn't say whether this method was good or bad, but after thinking about it, he felt that this method was not so reliable, and he couldn't help but say with some concern: "This method looks good or good, and it can gather a group of people for a while, but I always feel that it doesn't seem to be reliable." ”
"After all, if it was really that easy, I think there should have been some commanders who did this after the battle between our Qingxi River Demon Clan and the Human Race twenty-five years ago. ”
Wu Gui knew in his heart that what he said did make some sense, and he also knew what the reason why no other commander did this, after all, he came to the Qingxi River with the tributaries of the source at that time, and he had a lot of dealings with some demon clans he met along the way.
Therefore, Wu Gui looked at the black scales and smiled, "It's because no other demon clan does this that it's our chance, isn't it?"
After saying this, looking at the sparkling three hundred miles of Qingxi River behind him, Wu Gui sighed helplessly: "After all, many demon clans in the entire Qingxi River now, except for a very small number of new demon clans, have joined the forces of the various commanders or the remaining two demon generals, and if you want to recruit them, you can't recruit people at all, what else can you do if you don't do this." ”
Hearing this, Black Scale nodded silently, and had no objection to Wu Gui's words, because the current situation in Qingxi River was indeed the case.
Choosing to go upstream from the source stream and recruit the demon clans along the way is indeed the best way to quickly accumulate people and strength.
Although there is no shortage of demon clans who come to this water area from the three sources of the Qingxi River, the number has always been scarce, and they basically come to the Qingxi River with a curious attitude, so there are still many demon clans staying in the rivers above the source.
The reason why this is the case is because although these rivers are not as big as the Qingxi River, they are just some small rivers and streams, and most of them are between the poor mountains and bad waters, and there are basically no cultivation resources.
But relatively speaking, there will not be such a complex environment as the Qingxi River, and a situation that may be life-threatening if you are not careful.
Therefore, the demon clans who have opened their spiritual wisdom and cultivated into demons in these places live a very stable life in most cases, and in addition to cultivation and basic hunting every day, there will be no human race cultivators and martial artists, or powerful demon clans to find trouble with them, and they live completely in the life of the unscrupulous earth emperor in the river where they are located.
If Wu Gui hadn't left the stream and river that he had just come to this world, he would almost have lived the life of such a soil emperor in the end, which is equivalent to the overlord of Qingxi River.
First of all, the nearby Terran villages were not at all like Qingshui City and Shangxi City in Qingxi River, with powerful Terran cultivators and martial artists, and there were no other demon clans.
As long as he didn't attract the Terran powerhouses in some places because he was too ostentatious, he could spend this life in peace and stability as the Emperor of the Earth in the streams and rivers.
In that case, then why did they, the demon clans in the rivers above the source, go to the Qingxi River to become someone else's subordinate?
Of course, it's not that you can't use force to suppress it to recruit its subordinates, but you have to face two problems first, one is to fight with others in a strange river, there is no home field advantage at all, and you don't know where to find it if they can't beat it.
Second, although the strength of these demon clans is due to the lack of cultivation resources, and if they want to increase their cultivation, they can only achieve it by accumulating cultivation techniques and absorbing spiritual energy, but with the accumulation of time, they generally have the cultivation in the middle and late stages of the demon beast realm, and even reach the perfect cultivation and break through to the demon soldier realm.
Sending one or two strong subordinates to take it down is not to be said for the time being, but it is definitely possible to attract the opponent to target the situation of their own lack of combat power, resulting in such a thing as picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
And if you send your weak men to complete this kind of thing, conquering a demon clan will almost waste half a month to rest, and it may not be enough to see if you encounter a hard idea.
It is precisely because of this that even if the leaders of the Qingxi River know that they can recruit a group of junior brothers by going upstream from the source, no one wants to do this kind of risky thing at all.
As for the black snake demon general Qu Yan and the white feather demon general Crane Feather them?
I'm sorry, people don't need to do this at all, and they don't look down on these demon clans, with the strength of their demon general realm, it is completely easy to recruit a group of subordinates.
Even if they are staring at the commanders who have not been paid attention to by them for the time being, who is fighting around in the Cancer waters and Iron Shield waters of the Qingxi River, who dares to say nothing?
The reason why the two demon generals, Qu Yan and Heyu, have not taken care of the leaders of Shrimp Mao and Crab Iron for the time being, is not that they are out of reach, but that they are not willing to recruit them for the time being.
Both sides waited for a decisive victory before recruiting these scattered people, so as not to exhaust the strength of the entire Qingxi River demon clan due to the battle between them.
This is probably a kind of reward that only the victor can get......
