601 On the eve of the Great War

In Jiuquan City, Zheng Lei selected a hundred demon men and women to follow him to make wine, and Xu Hu and Xu Qing, because of the support of the exercises, their cultivation is also improving rapidly, their roots are basically good, but there is no suitable exercise, and the cultivation speed of others is also improving by leaps and bounds.

The process of going from zero to one is difficult at first, but once it starts, it will soar rapidly.

In the past three years, Jiuquan City has been expanded nearly twice in size, and the demons here have also risen from 80,000 to 120,000, in the past three years, Jiuquan City has become famous, but this reputation is limited to the scattered demons, a large number of scattered demons know the existence of Jiuquan City, know that there is a city, as long as the spiritual wisdom is opened, you can go to Jiuquan City, there, they can get the primary practice exercises, if whose practice speed is recognized, they will get further exercises.

And more demons, but because of the reason of drunkenness, know that on the edge of the 100,000 mountains, there is a place to produce wine, and that wine is a fine wine that the demon world does not have, but it is not so easy to drink this drunkenness, because Wandrunk only sells four times a year, and each time it is only a short ten days, no matter how much Wandrunk Zheng Lei brings, every time he goes, it is only sold for ten days, and it is precisely because this Wandrunk is only sold for ten days that the status of Wandrunk continues to improve, especially the Houtu City, which is closest to the winery, because of the closest to the winery, often when Zheng Lei's winery has just opened, it is bought and stored in the city。

And the people in several other cities, when they heard that the winery was in a hurry, often the winery had already closed, and the time when the winery opened was uncertain, so it was not easy for other cities to buy Wandrunk except for Houtu City.

But some people knew the origin of Wandrunk, so they followed to Jiuquan City to buy, and some people even immigrated directly to Jiuquan City, so in three years, the number of demons in Jiuquan City increased by as much as 40,000, so the territory of Jiuquan City will be nearly doubled.

With the increase of demons, there are more and more things in Jiuquan City, this kind of separate place, a city is equivalent to a country, and various laws and regulations are needed to form a public binding force, only under such a binding force, the city will develop towards a healthy place.

The increase of demons has also changed the original rules for sending wine in Jiuquan City, as long as they are citizens of Jiuquan City, they can receive a small altar of Wandrunk every thirty days, and now, with the increase of demons, if you want to drink Daowan drunk for free, you need to work for the winery, and receive Wandrunk according to the amount of work, or get the demon pill.

In addition to this, there is another way to get drunk, that is, to become a city guard, because of this regulation, there are more and more demons who want to become city guards, in this case, the city guards have also risen from one-tenth of the original population to one-fifth, that is, there are now as many as 25,000 city guards in Jiuquan City.

With so many soldiers, it is not enough to go out and invade the city and plunder the land, but it is more than enough to protect Jiuquan City.

Because of the increase in the number of troops, Zheng Lei also had to calm down to study the training methods and arrangements of the army, 25,000 demons, of which 1,000 demons are birds, so they are organized as scouts, and the rest of the demons, 5,000 are demons who can walk with the earth, and these demons are the best candidates for ambushes in the future.

Similarly, according to the characteristics of these demons themselves, Zheng Lei divided the 25,000 demons into five parts, scout troops, vanguard troops, main forces, surprise attack troops, and multi-party mobile troops.

Three years is not a long time, but it is not too short, at least with Zheng Lei's strong support, the cultivation of these 25,000 demons has been greatly improved, and the lowest has also stepped into the third step of cultivation, and Xu Qing and Xu Hu have reached the late stage of the third step, but the two of them have not been directly incorporated into the army, because they have become Zheng Lei's orderlies.

Time seemed to have just given Zheng Lei some time to prepare, and this little time was only enough for him to make some simple preparations. In the past three years, not only has Zheng Lei and his city-goers grown a lot, but Shi Ke has also recovered from the brink of destruction after his injury, and now, his cultivation has returned to the middle of the fourth step.

Originally, Dong Sheng asked him to go to Jiuquan City after he had fully recovered, but after three years, he had only recovered to the middle of the fourth step, and in the past three years, he was in extreme anger every day, until now, he couldn't figure out why the city lord of Jiuquan City would defeat him, after he was angry, he didn't become rational, but more impulsive, he didn't think at all that Zheng Lei was not a person who cultivated in the fourth step.

Shi Ke found Dong Sheng again, and with the recovery of his cultivation, he was no longer so afraid in front of Dong Sheng, but now he is almost like a lonely man, and he has almost no power under him, and the original more than 100 subordinates who can be taken out to fight have all been lost in that conflict with Jiuquan, and in the past three years, the subordinates he has cultivated from his own mansion that can be taken out to fight are only a dozen people.

At this moment, Shi Ke stood respectfully in the city lord's hall, Dong Sheng was slumped on his throne, his head was pillowed on the armrest of the seat, his face was facing up with his mouth open, a demon pill was floating above his mouth and constantly rotating, and the spirit of the demon pill continued to flow out of it, falling into Dong Sheng's mouth.

Dong Sheng's expression was very enjoyable, as if he was smoking opium, and Shi Ke stood below, as if he didn't know it at all, absorbing the essence flowing from the demon pill to his heart's content.

Shi K's eyes were staring at the demon pill, he who had broken through to the fifth step, knew the origin of this demon pill, a few minutes ago, there must have been someone in Tianshui City in a duel, and this demon pill was the person who failed and was killed in the duel.

This kind of duel, Shi Kline has also carried out countless times, but he has persevered, and when he broke through to the fifth step, he found that half of the original duel was forced out, and they were all forced out by the city lord in front of him. Water is almost everywhere, and even if you can't see it, it's still in the air, around everyone.

Therefore, no one knows when they will be influenced by the lord of the castle and because a certain sentence becomes the origin of the duel with others, and in this kind of duel where almost all reason is lost, if you are lucky enough to survive, you will get a little privilege again and again, that is, the sanity that can be maintained in the duel is restored little by little.

The big demon,It is the honorific title of those demons below the fourth step to the demons who have reached the fifth step of cultivation,In the little demons,These phenomena will not be discovered at all,Only when the little demons are promoted to the big demons,Will you find out,Where are some privileges,It is clear that every time you win, you will make yourself have some resistance to the water vapor released by the city lord,And as they win more and more,These resistances will become stronger and stronger。

Shi Ke swallowed lightly, he missed the life after the fifth step very much, although he was only beaten back in the fifth step for a year, but in just that year, he got as many as five such demon pills, and now, in three years, he didn't get one, and even a few times, he was challenged by others.

However, the fifth step had allowed him to easily win these challenges, and now he was standing in front of the city lord again, wanting to borrow troops to exterminate Jiuquan that had caused him all this.

"Ahh

"This demon pill has been rewarded to you!Say, what are you doing here?" Dong Sheng asked.

Shi Ke caught the demon pill, put it away, then bowed down, and said: "Lord City Lord, after three years of your care, my cultivation has recovered to the middle of the fourth step, but these days, my heart is getting more and more uncomfortable, and it is always difficult to cross the hurdle in my heart, so I want to ask Lord City Lord to let me go and destroy Jiuquan City, so that I can calm down and practice." ”

Dong Sheng smiled disdainfully and said: "In the middle of the fourth step, you still want to exterminate a private city, and you didn't beat him in the cultivation of the fifth step at the beginning, but now in the middle of the fourth step, aren't you going to send him to death?

His words became colder and colder, and Shi Khan's head was sweating when he listened, but he still struggled in his heart: "My lord, my subordinates implore my lord to agree to my request, and I will repay your lord well." ”

"Oh?" Dong Sheng laughed and turned his head to look at Shi K, pouting and asking, "Why do you repay me? Just by virtue of your cultivation in the middle of the fourth step?"

Shi Kke's face was blue and red for a while, and he lowered his head and said: "After going to exterminate Jiuquan this time, my subordinates will definitely calm down and practice, and it is not difficult to resume the cultivation of the fifth step again, and after I resume the fifth step of cultivation, I will not ask for a demon pill from the city for twenty years, and I will offer five demon pills to the city lord every year." ”

Dong Sheng glared vigorously, then stretched out his hand and looked back and forth, looked at it for a while, blocked his palm in front of his eyes, compared it to Shi Kke's body, and said disdainfully: "Five, without me, you can still get five demon pills every year?"

Shi Ke gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to swear in the name of the Holy Ancestor!"

"Is this true?" Dong Sheng finally asked.

Shi Ke knelt on the ground, pointed to the sky with three fingers, and said: "I, Shi Kline, swear in the name of the Holy Ancestor today, as long as the city lord Dong Sheng borrows troops to help me destroy Jiuquan City, I am willing not to take a single demon pill from Tianshui City within twenty years after breaking through the fifth step of cultivation, and offer five demon pills to the city lord every year, if I violate this oath, my whole body will rot and die!"
