354. Arrest the strong man

The tavern was a little deserted, with several tables of adventurers drinking and eating meat in twos and threes, while Wu Daoan was quietly standing in front of the bulletin board watching the task. The tavern owner was a member of the Hu Demon Clan, only half the height of Wu Daoan, and at this time, he was also shocked by the aura of the Demon Realm Seed on his body, and took the initiative to greet him with a slanderous smile: "Lord Demon Venerable, do you want to take on the task? I'm just a tavern here, and it's all low-level tasks, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into your eyes." ”

Wu Daoan waved his hand: "I don't do the task for money, but for the people." By the way, do you have any bounty high assignments here?"

The tavern owner rolled his eyes, moved a stool to stand up, and whispered in Wu Daoan's ear: "There is indeed a tricky matter, which is not posted here, Your Excellency may as well go into the inner room to discuss it in detail." ”

The two of them entered the inner hut and sat down, and the tavernkeeper's words suddenly increased: "Alas, I can't hide it, business is getting worse and worse now. Last year, the Abyss Council ordered conscription, who dared to disobey, at least half of the young adults in this city were conscripted into the army and sent to the front line to fight the Terrans, and now I haven't heard of anyone coming back. My little shop is mainly doing business with these young people, and they are ...... away."

"Hey, hey, get to the point!" Wu Daoan couldn't help but interrupt this conversation.

The tavern owner smiled apologetically: "Alas, I have been doing business all year round and have developed the habit of talking a lot, so don't mind too much." To put it simply, I have a secret mission given to me by the city lord here, and the pay is good, I don't know if you are interested. ”

"Huh? ”

The tavernkeeper looked back at the door and made sure it was closed. Only then did he come up to Wu Daoan and whispered: "In order to meet the new round of conscription targets, the city lord needs many strong men of other races to fill up. ”

Wu Daoan was very clever, and he made a point: "Could it be that the casualties on the front line of my demon clan are too great." So the parliament began to rush to replenish the troops. ”

The tavern owner sighed: "The Terrans occupy such a large sea of stars, and the strong ones emerge in an endless stream, how can they be so easy to fight?" but those councilors don't care about our thoughts, and they have begun to forcibly recruit troops again, and the supreme consul of this plane has already assigned specific indicators to our city lord. You also know that if you send so many more people to fight, the power of the demon race in this plane will be greatly reduced. ”

"But those captured strong men will definitely not volunteer to join the army. Is that okay?"

"Rest assured, the recruiters sent by the Council only care about whether the number and rank of the recruits meet the quota, not their emotional thoughts. Besides. How many of the last round of conscription went voluntarily?"

In this way, Wu Daoan knew the ins and outs of the matter, and he also pretended to sigh: "The Abyss Council is so reckless, it doesn't care about the lives of ordinary demons at all!"

The tavern owner also had feelings: "Anyway, our plane is also a border area in the Demon Realm Star Sea. The Council can be located in the middle of the Boundary Star Sea. Where would they be interested in what we're going to do here? Even if our plane suddenly disappears one day, the councillors won't blink. ”

The two of them sighed at each other again, and Wu Daoan also took the opportunity to listen to the situation of this plane.

When he left the tavern, Wu Daoan had an extra price list in his hand, which was probably how many magic coins he could get in exchange for catching a few levels of demons, of course, the higher the rank of the demons he caught. The more the bounty. However, Wu Daoan still knows how many brushes he has. Although he has the aura of a demon venerable. But the real combat power is not as good as the little finger of the Demon Venerable. But if the opponent is a low-level demon like the Blue Bone Skeleton, he is still confident.

Out of the city is a vast swamp, in which many demons live. Out of caution, Wu Daoan only moved on the edge of the swamp, knocked out more than a dozen octopus demons, threw them into the hemp bag given by the tavern owner, resisted his body, flew back to the city, and came to the tavern.

Further down the cellar of the tavern, there is a huge basement, which has been stuffed with many demons, all of them are tightly tied, and some of them are lying on their stomachs or lying down. The boss counted the 'goods' sent by Wu Daoan, and was a little disappointed: "Lord Demon Venerable can't trust the small, so he only grabs this kind of low-level goods to test the small ones?"

Wu Daoan had a rhetoric: "Since this is a secret mission issued by the city lord, then I naturally have to act cautiously." If I catch too many high-level demons at once, I'm afraid it will cause speculation. ”

"It's still the Demon Venerable's thoughtfulness! I'll go and settle the bill for you. ”

In this way, Wu Daoan took a heavy bag of magic coins and returned to the previous restaurant. Before going upstairs, it occurred to him that Juana might be hungry, so he ordered a plate of her favorite 'Steamed Big-Eyed Demon' and carried it up with his plate.

Juana opened the door with a happy face: "Sister, you're back!"

Wu Daoan smiled and patted her little head: "Hungry, let's eat something." ”

Juana was in her formative years, and she was indeed a little hungry, so she grabbed the big-eyed demon and devoured it. But halfway through eating, she suddenly stopped, grabbed a big-eyed demon and sent it to Wu Daoan's mouth, and said in a childish voice: "Sister, you can also eat a little, it's delicious." ”

"Uh...... I'm not hungry......"

Unexpectedly, Juana lowered her head sadly: "Is it because my sister dislikes my dirty hands?"

"How can it be! I'll just eat it!"

Wu Daoan had no choice but to swallow this big eyeball with a bunch of tentacles. Unexpectedly, these tentacles were still very restless, and they all entered his mouth and desperately grabbed his teeth, unwilling to be reduced to food. Wu Daoan had no choice but to bite it up, and the viscous suspicious juice splashed his mouth.

Juana was very happy: "It's really delicious! Sister eat another one!" As she spoke, she grabbed a big-eyed demon and stuffed it into Wu Daoan's small mouth.

After the stimulation just now, the taste buds in Wu Daoan's mouth have become numb, but this time he chewed it with relish, and he also reminded him of the squid in his hometown.

Now that the problem of food and shelter has been solved, the next step is to study how to leave. According to the information provided by the tavern owner, there are still quite a few large teleportation arrays in this plane, but basically they all go to other demon planes. After all, these demons can't just go to the human plane, otherwise they will also end up with a fate of being corrupted.

Therefore, when the demon army goes out, it will definitely bring a large demon qi supply device, such as a giant tombstone, a chaos magic ball, a king's skull, etc., so that the demon army can survive and fight in the other world.

Wu Daoan thought about it, but there was no solution, so he had to go out of the city to the swamp to continue hunting.

After yesterday's battle, Wu Daoan had already dared to capture the fourth-order monster. After all, he had created a superior demon body in the Blood Demon Pool, and his cultivation had also improved by leaps and bounds, rising a lot in just a few days.

Just when he was very happy to bully the children, a powerful aura suddenly came from the depths of the swamp, and he saw a huge green lizard jumping in front of Wu Daoan, and the huge green eyeballs stared at him fiercely: "Demon, dare to capture my subordinates so wantonly, really don't take this seat in your eyes?"

Wu Daoan sensed the other party's Demon Venerable-level aura, and he was also secretly shocked, and he was still very calm on the surface: "Big lizard, you should also know about the council's conscription, but I was secretly ordered by the city lord of Exum City to gather the indicators." ”

The big lizard was even more angry: "As long as you demons can't be sent to death, my subordinates will be sent to death casually?"

Wu Daoan's eyes rolled and said, "Our city lord is a demon lord, and you don't know his power. ”

The big lizard also sneered, "Isn't there a king in my swamp land?" ”

"Well, I'll give you this face, and I won't come back after today. Wu Daoan didn't dare to really do it, of course he had to give in.

The big lizard obviously didn't want to make enemies with the demon clan either, so he left with a few threatening words.

In this way, Wu Daoan could only carry the captured monsters back to the tavern in the city. By the way, describe to the boss the shocking battle between himself and the big lizard. After hearing this, the tavern owner sighed: "The recent large-scale arrest operation has caused strong dissatisfaction among the surrounding high-ranking demon clans, and it is reasonable for this to happen, it seems that you can only work hard to go farther away to arrest in the future." ”

Wu Daoan nodded: "It's only hateful that there is a grandmaster behind them, otherwise I really don't care about ordinary demon venerables." ”

The tavern owner hurriedly laughed: "That's that, the lord is mighty and domineering!"

Wu Daoan took the opportunity to ask something that he had been puzzled about for a long time: "By the way, do you say that there are any ideological education classes in our army, otherwise how could these captured strong men be so brave and not afraid of death when they go to the battlefield?"

The tavern keeper smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, you may not pay much attention to the war, so you don't know the inside story. In fact, behind the army of our demon clan, there are demon sects and even demon lords to suppress the formation, these big men will not easily attack the enemy, but if any of their own soldiers dare to cower or even retreat on the battlefield, they will be ruthlessly killed immediately and ruthlessly. You say, who would dare not charge and die?"

Wu Daoan took a breath of cool air, this behavior reminded him of the political commissar of a certain country, who was more fierce to his own people than to the enemy, and it was no wonder that the demon soldiers were so desperate on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
