Volume 1 Greedy Wolf Chapter 114 Crying Soul
"The soldiers are still on fire, and if they don't fight, they will self-immolate!"
"There is no such thing as a good war, nor a bad peace!"
In the face of Chen Tianhong, who insisted on going his own way and crossing the river with an iron heart, the two old men, Longbo and Cangsong, decided to persuade them for the last time. They didn't say anything bitter, they just left a word and left.
Looking at the closed door, Chen Tianhong slowly closed his eyes and leaned on the bamboo chair relaxedly. My mind was very blank, and my mind was still messy.
If you say that you don't understand, rashly crossing the river is irresponsible for tens of thousands of lives, it is unlikely.
If he really believes that if he encounters a powerful demon army, it is equally unlikely that the greedy wolf guard behind him can be defeated.
From the texts, we know that every war is full of contingency and unpredictability. In a real war, no one is sure of victory. Only with the course of the war can anyone better grasp the fleeting opportunity will be able to seize the initiative and turn the tide of the war.
Pragmatism is an unquestionable choice.
From that day on, Chen Tianhong no longer mentioned the matter of crossing the river, but only put the entire greedy wolf guard in a state of war. The raising of money and food for soldiers and horses was not delayed for a moment.
Ever since Jiang Sheng realized the cultivation method of absorbing spirit stones, and gradually perfected it in the continuous cultivation process of everyone, all the people of the greedy wolf guard quickly realized an extremely serious problem - the supply of spirit stones. Even though the new cultivation method has many flaws, the source of cultivation is undoubtedly the most deadly.
In the ancient classics of the human race, there is such an account - "The water spirit comes out of the mountain and stone, its crystal is like water, and its strength is like jade." For a long time, the human race called this kind of water jade-like stone "spirit stone", which was only used for decorative purposes. Therefore, naturally no one deliberately explores and operates.
If you want to find a large number of these spirit stones on the Shenzhou Continent where the human race is located, it is equivalent to starting from scratch. It has virtually increased the operating costs of Greedy Wolf Guard. What's more, Chen Tianhong decided to keep it a secret for the time being.
For Chen Tianhong, although there are too many difficulties that appear randomly in front of him, the appearance of Jiang Shang, a genius in Tianzhong, is undoubtedly a very good omen. Driven by Jiang Shang, Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang appeared in the ninth battalion where he was located.
The appearance of these three people made Chen Tianhong decide to restore an ancient team organization setting - Wei Commander commanded the whole army, Sima was in charge of Wu, and Situ was in charge of Wen, and the number of guards was set at 12,000 people.
He officially established the Ninth Battalion, which was randomly assigned, into the First Guards. Jiang Shang was appointed as Wei Shuai, Zhang Liang was appointed as Sima, and Zhuge Liang was appointed as Situ.

In other words, the two events of the Snake Mountain change that occurred on the same day and the barbarians who came and went without a trace were extremely shocking to the human race, which had long been accustomed to peace. This triggered a wave of Terran migration - the Terrans in Hanoi migrated to the mortal lands beyond the river.
Surprise, what a surprise!
Miracles, miracles for five thousand years!
This migration tide strongly affects the pattern in the mortal realm.
Following the four ancient towns of Pangu, Jianlai, Longfu and Yuanzun, the rise speed of the two towns of Qinghong and Qionghua can be called a thousand miles a day.
Although the migrating Terrans brought with them some resources, they were ultimately limited. In order to take root and further develop, it is an inevitable trend to open up and tap new resources.
The vast realm beyond the river was not enriched by the aura of heaven and earth brought about by that great change, and there was still only one place that was truly worth exploringβthe Julong Mountain Range.
The Dragon Mountains, which stretch for tens of thousands of miles, are still a dangerous place that the human race does not want to face. However, with the appearance of the corpses of the two giant snakes, it seemed to greatly boost the confidence of the Terrans. Gradually, more people climbed the Dragon Mountains.
It is not surprising that the scope of everyone's activities is spread out around the "Shekou".
"Shekou" refers to the location of a gap in the Julong Mountain Range after the collapse of Snake Mountain. I don't know who started it, but it is very vivid and appropriate.
The people who go here are all Terran monks. Everyone will tacitly and intentionally approach the two snake bodies, and then walk along the stream of snake blood and snow water from the melting of snake blood. No one explored the snake's body, but everyone treated it with awe.
Those who came here found that the body of the turquoise giant snake was slowly melting into the gray snake body, but the gray snake body did not change at all.
There are people with strong curiosity, try to throw the corpse of the demon beast on the gray snake, and find that the corpse of the demon beast will quickly melt into the snake's body. This invisibly adds to the mystery of the gray snake.
As a result, all kinds of rumors and rumors surrounding the gray snake spread all over Hanoi and beyond.

"To be honest, do you know the origin of this gray snake?" Li Chungang pondered suspiciously, looked at Chen Tianhong with an expressionless face, and decided to ask, "To be honest, when you cut this snake that day, I always felt that something was wrong there." It's just that your ancestors are too mysterious, so I have nowhere to ponder. β
"And guess what?"
"It must have something to do with the sudden appearance of extreme cold weather in Stormwind Town. β
"I have to admit that you are too smart. Probably the smartest man in the world today. If you can worship under a famous teacher, you will definitely become a generation of grandmasters in the future. Looking at Li Chungang with a serious face, Chen Tianhong smiled, "You guessed well." Like the golden toad, the mission of this blind gray snake is to protect the greedy wolf and defend future generations. β
"Guard?" Li Chungang's eyes widened angrily, and he repeated: "Guard?"
"Don't let it be destroyed, it's protection. Chen Tianhong said lightly, "If you don't let your family prosper, isn't it guarded?"
"Who has such ulterior motives and made such a delicate arrangement?" Li Chungang was even more puzzled in relief, "I have always felt that such a major event on the Dragon Mountain Range would definitely alarm the Nine Great Sects. But I never thought that the Nine Great Factions didn't happen at all. It's illogical. β
Chen Tianhong responded: "The essence of illogical things is often the most logical thing!"
"You're right! Only those who know the secret of this snake will not bother to pay attention to it anymore. Li Chungang let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that which ancestor of your family really has a deep relationship with the Nine Sages. My grandfather must know something about this. Therefore, he was afraid that you would ask him, so he chose to leave. β
As soon as Li Chungang finished speaking, he saw Chen Tianhong stop, his eyes revealed a strange light, and he immediately covered his mouth, his eyes only rolling. After a long time, Chen Tianhong continued to walk forward, and then he slowly took his hand away and followed with a smile.
"My grandfather is really dead. β
"Hmm!"
"Why don't you ask me, or even force me to tell the truth about my grandfather?"
Li Chungang was full of apologies, Chen Tianhong naturally had no need to embarrass him, and did not answer his rhetorical question. The two continued their way up the hill.
Along the way, I met many Terran monks, but none of them were alone. Obviously, everyone who comes here is extremely cautious and travels in groups. Moreover, each team has at least one cultivator with a good cultivation of the divine realm.
Although Chen Tianhong was holding a wish-wishing stick that seemed to be very ordinary, because there was a white horse by his side, the person who saw it could still quickly determine his identity. People will consciously or unconsciously move away a little, or deliberately let go behind them, not far or close.
That's a power of intimidation.
Li Chungang said: "Most of the people who come here are people who have established themselves in the mortal realm, and they have begun to stretch out their hands to the Giant Dragon Mountain Range to look for opportunities. If you classify Shekou as the territory of the Greedy Wolf Guard, you should have a very rich income. β
"The one who occupies the mountain is the king, or the thief, or the coward. Chen Tianhong said in a deep voice, "I don't have that ambition. β
The two of them continued to walk forward, and when they were approaching Shekou, they suddenly saw something fly out of the mountain forest to the north and fall heavily in the snow. Li Chungang subconsciously took a step back, with a posture of slipping away at any time.
"It's a person!" Chen Tianhong's pace did not pause, and continued to walk forward, "The injury is very serious, and it needs to be treated in time." β
The two of them soon approached, only to see a bloody man curled up on the ground, no one of his body intact. The tiny wounds all over the body were like strange runes, making it impossible to tell what was the injury.
Chen Tianhong took out a spirit pill and was about to take it for that person. The man suddenly jumped up, his body was bent like a tanuki, and his hands grabbed Chen Tianhong's throat. The wishful stick in Chen Tianhong's hand was pointed out and pointed at the strange man's chest at a strange speed.
Rumble~
At the right moment, the strange man's body suddenly exploded, and the shattered flesh fell into the snow and disappeared without a trace. It's as if it melted straight into the snowflakes. The strangest thing is that the exploding flesh's body is left without a single bone.
Chen Tianhong and Li Chungang were stunned in place, and all the people who were not far away or close looked at them.
Li Chungang held the hilt of his sword tightly with an amateur gesture and asked, "What's the matter?
"I don't know. But, apparently, his luck was not so good. Chen Tianhong put away the elixir and walked in the direction where the man flew out, "It's on the edge of Shekou, you have to figure out what's going on." If you can, you'd better go home immediately. β
"Am I so unbearable? aren't you embarrassing me!" Li Chungang looked at the white horse with his head shrunken. Compared with Chen Tianhong, he seems to trust Baima more.
"So holding the hilt of the sword, are you sure you can draw the sword?"
"Joke, can't I, Li Chungang, even pull out my sword?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a "wow" and startled himself.
It turned out that Chen Tianhong had been walking forward, but there was a corpse hanging from a tree in the shadows. It seems that this person died not long ago, and he was directly twisted to death.
"There was no sign of a fight here, but eleven people died. Everyone's way of dying is completely different. It's a bit of an evil sect. Chen Tianhong analyzed, "This should be the first time since that day that someone died." It shows that new monsters are beginning to explore here. It's dangerous. β
"Have you found anything? Do you want to bring a large army here?"
Li Chungang's body trembled a little, and only by being close to the white horse could he make him look less nervous. Fortunately, his mind is still clear and flexible.
"The 'natural enemy' didn't react, which shows that the newcomer is a monster with ...... strength"
When Chen Tianhong was speaking, a strange roar of "wow" came from the left side in front of him. In an instant, Chen Tianhong swooped forward, as agile as a wolf, and the wishful stick in his hand swung diagonally. When he stood still, the rod in his hand was not withdrawn.
Because the other end of the stick was grabbed by two cat's paws.
"Soul Lion?"
