Chapter Seventy-Four: Intrigues

The dawn broke, and a new sun slowly rose through the clouds.

In front of the gate of Nanlongdong Mountain.

"General, everything is ready!" said the Captain of the Crab Demon as he half-knelt in front of the Dragon General, and said extremely respectfully.

General Long nodded: "I have arranged many matters in the cave mansion, if you have any questions, you can ask Elder Gui, and follow his instructions." No one is allowed until I come back. Hear me clearly, it's anyone!"

With a stern face and extremely serious, the captain of the crab demon nodded hurriedly: "Subordinates obey orders!"

After a pause, he said with some hesitation: "But is it more appropriate for the general to bring more people, after all, it is necessary to pass through the area of Xixue Peak and Beixi Lake......

Before he finished speaking, he was loudly interrupted by General Dragon: "Needless to say, if I can't cope with it myself, it's useless to take the entire Nanlong Cave with me." In short, you guard the mountain gate, and you can't afford to lose. ”

"My subordinates know!"

The Captain of the Crab Demon lowered his head and stood up again, his face a little worried, but there was nothing he could do. Lushan Mountain is located in the northwest of Tianji Ridge, and it is inevitable to pass through Beixi Lake or Xixuefeng area on the way there.

The lords of the two places and the dragon general were at odds, and they only brought a few dozen people on this trip, so they were naturally worried.

The dragon general boarded the lord's car at the front, and the tall koi fish demon shouted, "Let's go!" The team immediately began to march northwest.

Zhaoming sat in a car behind him, these cars were all treasures, specially used to hurry, and had a certain amount of defense, but not particularly strong. The people of Chigang, because of their poor strength, were arranged in a car and did not have to fly outside. However, most of them were left in the South Dragon Cave, and only the Minotaur, Qingyu and the two demon clans were together.

Zhaoming and Shura don't know if it's because of the jade pendant, or because they killed the toad Taoist and had an entanglement with the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, they were named by General Dragons and taken on the road together.

Several people sat in the car, each silent, and Zhaoming didn't speak, he was still thinking about what he said to Shura last night.

What is the most suitable way to survive in this era, Zhaoming is still uncertain, but Shura has already made a choice.

Having tasted the sweetness of bloody killing, coupled with the hearty pleasure of acting without scruples, he decided to be a feared Shura, as his name suggests.

Zhaoming doesn't know if this decision is right or wrong, but until they find a better path, it may be the best way for the two of them to survive. Brutality may not be a good thing, but it can do make a difference in some extraordinary times.

"Zhaoming!"

After a long time of departure, the minotaur opened his mouth to break the silence in the car.

Zhaoming came back to his senses and hurriedly answered: "My subordinates are here!"

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise we would all have fallen for the Snow Demon Lord's calculations!" said the Minotaur as he looked at Zhaoming.

At this time, it may not be a particularly strict thing for others. After all, even if the Chigang army is defeated, other demon clans can join others under their command, even if it is the dragon general, it will only be swept away some face.

Only he is different, he is not low-hearted, and he will make Chigang Ruo his own. He has the opportunity to come out and be a demon king, and he is never willing to return to Nanlong Cave to be an unknown little guard. No matter what danger Chigang will face, he will not give up, but choose to live and die with it.

Although even if he really missed the time, General Dragons could send someone to deal with it like the Golden Light Lord, but it was by no means a huge amount of noodles that the Minotaur wanted to see. In a certain way, Zhaoming not only let him get out of trouble this time, but also saved his life.

Zhao Ming hurriedly lowered his head and said: "This is what my subordinates should do, and this matter can't be said to be my credit, I am a demon clan in the Void Netherworld, and I was inexplicably not trapped by the illusion, I can only say that it is the Heavenly Appearance of the Great King Jiren, which gave me the opportunity to find General Long for help." ”

Although I haven't really experienced these things, Zhaoming has been in Chigang these days, and I have a certain understanding.

Credit is not how much you do, but how much the people above you remember.

Especially for the merit of saving the driver, if the rescued king is open-minded, he will naturally remember you for a credit. But if the king is too proud, I am afraid that it will be difficult to accept that he has been saved by his subordinates, and he does not know what he will do.

The Minotaur is a bold demon clan, but it is not just a bold demon clan. To make three kinds of people like the Green Wolf Demon, the Black Roe Demon and the Jackal Demon obey his command, and to make General Dragons look at him differently, it is enough to show that he is also a very scheming person.

In any case, it's better to be low-key and restrained, and patting the sycophants is not something that can't be done.

The minotaur smiled: "You don't have to be humble, you have made a great contribution this time, and when you return to Chigang, I will naturally reward you for your meritorious deeds." ”

"Thank you, King!" Zhaoming hurriedly stood up and bowed in thanks.

This is a good thing, even if you lose the bet with the green wolf demon, I believe you can get a good placement.

After thanking him, Zhao Ming remembered something again and said to the Minotaur: "King, Shura and I have already met the Valley Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. ”

The reason why the bull-headed demon brought himself out on this trip was because of the killing of the toad Taoist in Hualing Village, and he was worried that the valley lord of the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley would be investigated, and he wanted to intercede with Prince Bifang and turn the matter around.

But now that he has directly met the Valley Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons, the other party has also emphasized this matter, but he has not killed himself and Shura, and the matter has become a little elusive. In any case, it would be more appropriate to talk to the minotaur about this matter.

The minotaur nodded: "I already know that it is not a bad thing to be able to save a life from him. However, this old poison has great strength and a strange temper, even if he lets you go this time, he may come back because of this incident. I have already told the general about this, and he promised that he would mention this matter to the prince when he arrived at Lushan, and asked the prince to help intercede. ”

"Thank you, King!" Zhaoming hurriedly thanked.

The minotaur nodded, not knowing what to think, and paused for a while before speaking again: "Zhaoming, there is something I want to tell you, how to choose, you decide for yourself." ”

Zhaoming didn't know what he meant, but he still bowed his head slightly, waiting for the following.

"You have made a great contribution this time, and you have frustrated the spirit of the Rakshasa prince with Shura, and the general is very happy and appreciates the two of you very much. Yesterday, you brought up this matter with me during the discussion, and wanted you to come to the South Dragon Cave to serve. This is a big deal for you, and I didn't do it, I want you to decide for yourself. ”

It turned out to be this, Zhaoming was stunned, this thing was beyond his expectations.

However, even if he did something good with Shura this time, which was considered some credit, it was not enough for General Long to see such a different Cheng DΓΉ and directly ask the Minotaur to ask the dignitary.

I think it should be because of the jade pendant, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is in line with the way of heaven, he is the heaven of this world, and he controls a qiΔ“.

Everything related to him has become not simple, and he who has won the jade pendant naturally has a different weight in General Dragon's heart, so he wants to let himself work directly under him.

I am not like a bull-headed demon who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and go directly to the South Dragon Cave to serve, and because of the jade pendant, it is naturally better than staying in Chigang to do things.

Zhaoming was about to respond, but when the afterglow swept over the Minotaur, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if something had been ignored by himself.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he suddenly reacted to the gaze of the minotaur. There was no joy in it, but there was an indescribable look, and if I had to describe it, it was guard.

He's on his own beware, why?

Zhaoming was surprised in his heart, puzzled by the reason, and after thinking about it carefully, he grasped the clue.

The Minotaur can become the demon king, and Chigang can have his current status, not entirely by his own strength, but more because of the special care of General Dragon. He was born as a guard of the Dragon Commander, and he is the true descendant of the Dragon's General.

If it weren't for the big mountain of General Dragons behind him, without waiting for the attack from the side of Beixi Lake, the Demon Kings of Nanlong Cave such as the Silver Snake King would have already crushed him and removed his name from Chigang.

With the talent and heart of the Minotaur, it is not impossible to surpass these demon kings in the future, but it will take time, and it is still far from it.

And once he was valued by General Dragon, he was put down as a demon king like him. At that time, it is very likely that he will share the care of General Dragon, so that his favor will not be there, and his status will also be affected.

The Minotaur was kind to him, and Zhaoming didn't want to think of things like this, but there was a voice in his heart that kept reminding him that this was the case.

I can't agree, otherwise I don't know what will happen.

All thoughts flashed between the lightning and flint, and Zhaoming had already made a decision, and immediately shook his head and said: "The king is as kind to Zhaoming as a mountain, and Chigang is in need of people, how can I leave." ”

He smiled again and continued: "And Zhaoming is just a little monk in the Void Underworld Period, what else can he do in Chigang, but when he arrives in this South Dragon Cave, I am afraid that he can only listen to the roar of the demon dragon in fear every day." No, no, the king quickly helped me push it. ”

"Haha!" the minotaur laughed, "That's what I thought." Without a certain strength, it is not a good thing to be in Nanlong Cave. It's good to get the general's special attention, but it's probably impossible to get him to take care of him all the time. Zhaoming has a good talent, but you need to sharpen it more, and when you come to this South Dragon Cave again with greater achievements, your status is naturally different. ”

Zhaoming shook his head: "I came to Tianji Ridge not because of the general but because of the king, the grace of saving his life, there is no way to repay it, if the king is willing, Zhaoming can serve Chigang to the death, why do you want to come to Nanlong Cave?"

This is not completely polite, but also has a lot of sincerity. The Minotaur was originally ambitious, and it was normal to have such behavior in front of him, and it would not necessarily be better than him if he was a dragon general.

And in the final analysis, the lives of himself and Shura were saved by the other party, and it is also appropriate to serve them.

"Good!"

The minotaur nodded in satisfaction, and was about to say something more, when suddenly the car shook and stopped.
