Western Region.
Desert, yellow sand, strong wind.
Hot and cold, constantly switching with the rotation of the sun and the moon.
The harsh environment has led to the extremely irritable character and temper of the indigenous people. Even at night, it is not difficult to see noisy scenes.
However, today, this abnormal scene suddenly appeared. While all the monsters who wanted to enter the city were surprised, they were also shocked by the smell of blood in the city that was so strong that it could reach outside the city. They were too shocked to stay for a long time. .
Today's city gate is uncharacteristically closed.
Together with a city wall that is half as short as one side and a huge hole in the middle of a certain city wall, it looks very beautiful.
certainly.
Not perfection, not symmetry.
But incomplete beauty.
Although the many monsters outside the city gate, bustling with people and looking like they wanted, didn't know exactly what happened inside the city, but smelling the strong smell of blood, every monster outside the city could guess that last night, inside the city, There was definitely a massive fight going on.
As for...
Why last night?
Or, why are you so sure of the time?
The main reason is that they entered the city through the city gate yesterday morning and left the city before sunset yesterday. With the noisy curses and noises, the specific time of the accident last night can be calculated by careful calculation.
The error will basically not be greater than two hours.
Those who want to enter the city must have the necessary needs.
Whether you have grabbed some goods and need to enter the city as a seller, or you have hunted some game and need to enter the city to find a buyer, in short, the monsters who stay here and refuse to leave when the morning sun rises basically rely on This city comes to live.
Every demon in the city eats and drinks every day...
The daily fun of every demon in the city...
These are all consumables.
Since it is a consumable, it naturally needs to be replenished, which affects the daily life of all the surrounding monsters; and precisely because this city belongs to the Shahu royal family, and Fan Yunfei, the demon king, happens to be from here, so naturally, this This city becomes the city that all monsters choose first when trading.
Cheating and deception are the norm.
But in terms of safety, there is indeed a certain guarantee.
At least the demon won't die.
As for people...
Feel sorry.
Who hasn't caught two people with their own hands?
If they really encounter an unreasonable demon king, the average little monster will choose the path of losing money and avoiding disaster. At most, it will be a waste of money without gold coins; but humans do not need gold coins when catching things!
Trading without capital is so willful.
pity...
No monster could have imagined that overnight, the city would be turned upside down.
Rivers of blood are no longer enough to express the current miserable situation in the city. Because Lu Yuan left in a hurry, he did not pay attention to the impact on the environment when he took action, and the people left behind in the city did not dare to use these quilts too much. Humans rescued from the dungeon, so...
"Would you like food?"
The boy with sharp eyes and neat clothes, but it was easy to see that there were numerous scars under his clothes, vigorously patted the door in front of him, and shouted while pulling his neck with a sense of gloating that a great revenge had been achieved.
The blood at his feet had reached his ankles, completely dyeing the white gauze wrapped around the boy's ankles red, and soaking the wounds in the gauze. However, the boy did not show any fear, let alone any pain. , but after waiting for a moment, he patted the door hard again, his eyes flickered slightly, and he pulled his neck and shouted:
"I'll leave if you don't want me!"
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
The high-pitched voice slowly fell, and the courtyard was still as quiet as death, as if there were no demons living here at all.
pity...
Being able to send someone to the door was the result of a detailed investigation, in order to avoid finding mistakes and to prevent some monsters from starving to death.
Therefore, it is definitely unrealistic to hide.
But the monsters living here obviously don't know this fact. The cat ears hanging down from the top of his head were raised slightly. The old man with an old face let out a long sigh. Looking at the panicked children and grandchildren around him, he paused on his crutches tiredly, with a hint of anger. He lowered his voice and cursed:
"A bunch of useless things!"
"You don't even think about how many of them there are. Even if they really want to attack monsters like us, will it be our family's turn first?"
"Who am I?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"Who is the oldest person in our family in the city?"
"Why should they look for us little shrimps?"
"Most likely it's just a lie!"
"Don't panic, don't make a sound."
"Wait a minute and see if that's what you mean!"
As soon as the old cat demon spoke, the middle-aged men, women, and boys and girls who had just panicked around them obviously calmed down a lot. Although their behavior was still a bit panicky, at least they seemed to be calm.
but...
For cat demons who are extravagant by nature, some strange thoughts will always pop up and cause chaos at some inexplicable times.
No, just after the old cat demon finished speaking, a beautiful girl stood up, deliberately lowered her voice, and asked with a bit of fear:
"Grandpa, isn't this a threat?"
"just in case..."
“There is no such thing as a contingency!!!”
The old cat demon was obviously very angry at his granddaughter's words. He knocked his cane hard and warned with a serious face:
"We have never had any human servants in our family!"
"Some are just hired humans!"
"Understand?"
"If they really had evidence, they wouldn't have knocked on the door calmly at this time. I'm afraid they would have barged in with a sword!"
"Therefore, with a clear conscience, we only need to show respect and cooperation and let them conduct their investigation!"
At this point, the old cat demon obviously realized something. His words suddenly stopped, and his eyes were instantly covered with a layer of cold light. He stared at the granddaughter in front of him and asked word by word:
"You're not going to take precautions for me!"
"this..."
The girl with cat ears was obviously stumped by this question. Although there was no clear answer, her eyes had unconsciously fallen on the trembling cat-eared boy beside her.
"answer my question!"
Older gingers are more spicy.
The old cat demon saw the problem almost instantly. He turned his eyes with murderous intent to his grandson, softened his tone slightly, and said solemnly:
"Whoever did something outrageous should stand up!"
"Stand up now and you won't die!"
"otherwise..."
"Don't force me to do it, old man!"
The majesty of the elders still overwhelmed the psychological defense line. The boy instantly collapsed on the ground, and with a bit of crying, he lowered his voice and begged:
"Grandpa, save me!"
At the same time, two other boys and a beautiful-faced woman knelt directly on the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.
Action is the best way to express yourself.
The old cat demon let out a long sigh and closed his eyes helplessly. The drooping cat ears trembled uneasily twice. The cold light in his eyes had been put away, replaced by a deep look that made it difficult to see the psychological changes. look.
"any left."
"Now, save your life."
"Don't talk now, everyone is done."
"Can be reported!"
A great reputation in one lifetime will not be guaranteed in the later years.
This is the most realistic portrayal of the old cat demon at this moment.
As a monster, and as a monster with an innate advantage in IQ, he knew very early on that human knowledge was a very precious thing.
For this reason, he even specially borrowed a group of humans when he was young to translate for him the books he collected.
It has to be said that knowledge is priceless.
A monster like him with no background could actually rely on the knowledge he learned and the experience he gained to cultivate himself to become a monster king step by step, and he could live safely into old age.
According to the current trend, he may even live to die of old age.
For the monsters in the Western Region, this fact has to be said to be full of temptation; even the great monster king will die suddenly, but a cat monster whose cultivation is just a monster king can actually live until death. Even looking back now, he felt grateful for his original choice.
And because of this, he knows better what should be done and what should not be done!
When doing things, be honest and aboveboard.
At least, on the bright side, no one will catch you!
For example, the example he gave before.
It is true that he does not have any human servants in his family, there are only hired humans, but he still has the final say on the price of this hire!
Even if it is one copper plate for a lifetime, this can be regarded as the price and rules of employment, not a costless business like servants!
Therefore, in this matter, the old cat demon actually did everything right. Even if Lu Yuan came in person, he could not come up with a better reason.
Unfortunately, he has a group of useless descendants.
Looking at the six descendants who were pushed out from behind, the old cat was so angry that he was trembling all over. He was too lazy to talk to these useless things. The crutch in his hand was like a poisonous snake and struck continuously in the air. There was a sound of bones breaking, and in the fearful eyes of all the cat demons, six more corpses appeared on the ground.
The girl and boy who were still pleading were immediately frightened into silence and collapsed on the spot, holding their younger brother beside them and shivering.
Fortunately, the old cat demon didn't want to kill them all. He paused the crutch in his hand tiredly and cursed with a bit of hatred and helplessness:
"Everyone, get out of here!"
"You four are lucky!"
"Second daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law, please take four people from our family and wait in the front hall. If you hear my notice, open the door quickly!"
The two women with sharp eyes and a hint of laziness and wildness in their delicate bodies responded, and then left in a hurry.
Although they did feel that it was a bit of a fuss, but considering the chaos last night and the unprecedented appearance of the human demon emperor, and the fact that Fan Yunfei, the demon emperor, was beaten away, the little care they had was gone in an instant.
In times of crisis, it’s better to be cautious.
The old cat demon's response was not within the scope of the boy's consideration. What's more, he didn't expect to deceive these hateful monsters with just two sentences, let alone let these monsters escape. Live your life in peace!
"If that's the case, then don't blame me..."
With these words, the boy lowered his voice as if mumbling to himself. Then he took out the paper and charcoal from his arms without hesitation, squatted down, washed the blackness off his fingers, and then stood up again. He stood up, looked at the plaque hanging on the door in front of him, and put down his pen with a somewhat unfamiliar look, while muttering:
"A group of monsters, and they have such a complicated name hanging on the door. I don't know if I will see it again tomorrow..."
"I'm coming!!!"
Hearing this, urgent shouts came from the door, with a bit of fear and uneasiness. Two women with cat ears on their heads directed four young men with cat ears on their heads to open the door, their faces full of panic.
But before the panic spread, the six cat demons in the courtyard saw the shallow river of blood outside the door, flowing in with an unstoppable attitude...
"ah!!!"
The screams sounded instantly, almost frightening the old cat demon who had just arrived to drop his crutches. The two women fainted first and lay directly in the blood. It seemed that they were not pretending.
As for the remaining four young people, they were obviously very frightened. They avoided the bloody water like snakes and scorpions, climbed up the wall nimbly, and looked at the bloody river below with pale faces.
The old cat demon was naturally unmoved. He had experienced far more storms than these descendants. However, after seeing the scene in front of him, his eyes inevitably showed a bit of horror.
Demons are different from humans!
A human being only has a little bit of blood in his body.
But for monsters...
The more powerful the monster, the bigger it will be!
Except for fox monsters and some weird monster races, all monsters must maintain the rule that the stronger they are, the bigger their shape will be!
Very unreasonable.
but...
Those who can transform can be called little monsters, while those who cannot transform are still monsters, but they are just monsters.
The most important thing about a monster is the body!
Transforming is just a method that is most suitable for one's own cultivation. In other words, it is possible not to transform, but it is just inconvenient in terms of movement.
Therefore, when a transformed monster is killed, the blood flowing will be far more than that of a human being. If a monster king is completely killed, it is not a problem to even create a stream in a short period of time.
But the problem is...
This is really a river!
Seeing the blood-colored river spreading up the steps in an instant, with almost no channel visible, the old cat demon's back, which could have been straightened up suddenly, suddenly became unable to straighten up.
Look at this river...
Even ten demon kings are not enough!
Especially looking at this depth, it is conservatively estimated that at least forty demon kings are needed to create this water depth. If calculated in terms of little demons, it is conservatively estimated that about 1,200 little demons are needed.
Especially the blood-colored river also contained some additional surprises. Looking at the broken bones and the long-lasting aura on the bones, the old cat demon suddenly shuddered and had not yet waited for the takeaway food. The boy came in and violently waved the crutch in his hand, smashing the limbs of the four descendants behind him.
Evil star!
Killing star!
These people come with bad intentions!
And since he can give him some face, he naturally can't just ignore it. He hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to be part of this river of blood!
The boy obviously did not expect to face such a threat when he opened the door, but he did not panic. Instead, he stood at the door with his arms folded, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a bit of joking:
"What do you mean, old man?"
As soon as these words came out, all the cat demons except the old cat demon had a fierce look in their eyes. However, it didn't last long before they saw the old cat demon silently shaking his head at them, coughing hard, and the old cat demon squeezed. He gave an ugly smile and replied meaningfully:
"My children and grandchildren are unfilial, and you are laughing at me, little brother."
"Brother, don't you want to sell vegetables?"
"I want them all."
Hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in the boy's eyes. He calmly crossed the river of blood, stepped onto the steps, and came to the old cat demon. He placed the basket covered with blood in his hand on the clean and tidy ground and spoke calmly. said:
"This basket of food is free of charge."
"You should know what I want."
When the old cat demon heard this, his eyes twitched slightly, and he waved his hand calmly. After a while, six corpses were placed in front of the boy.
After death, a monster with cultivation will not turn into its prototype for a short period of time. It will not turn into its prototype until its cultivation is completely dissipated.
pity...
"This is not what I want."
The boy shook his head regretfully and looked at the previously arrogant monster in front of him who was thinking hard. He was too lazy to continue to show off, and reminded him with a hint:
"I'm just an errand boy."
"But when I went out this morning, I heard an adult passing by and another adult say that all the humans in the city were to be gathered together."
"As for the rest, I don't know."
Good guy!
This is so important!
Looking at the human child in front of him, the old cat demon couldn't help but sigh; he knew very well how ignorant it was to accuse the other owner of the wrong actions with a dog, but it was already a person who could not implicate their clan. Pretty good results.
After giving the woman beside him a look, the old cat demon smiled apologetically at the human child in front of him, and then started chatting with the dog.
What happened last night happened so suddenly.
He didn't know the specific information at all.
The only thing that is known is that a human demon king beat Fan Yunfei away in public, and then started killing the monsters in the city.
Other than that, I don't know anything.
During the time when the old cat demon was testing the boy, batches of human men and women with dull eyes were also brought here. The boy took out a pen and paper with satisfaction and wrote in the old cat demon's hopeful eyes. After making a comment, he led these humans away from this monster's mansion with a river of blood flowing.
at all costs!
This is what this sentence means!
The means are despicable?
It's not bright anyway.
But under the appearance of killing chickens to scare monkeys, you can still achieve your goals perfectly and scare restless monsters. This is the best way to implement this sentence.
Humans definitely can't stay here.
If you want to evacuate, evacuate together!
No matter how much it costs, no human being can be left on the territory of the Western Region, especially the humans in this city.
Lu Yuan knew very well that this was different from the Southern Kingdom. Once he left, the monsters in the Western Region would definitely use sneaky means to retaliate against the humans who remained in this city.
Anger is a very common phenomenon.
Therefore, the boy's words and deeds can at best be regarded as using the art of language to achieve a win-win situation, and cannot be regarded as despicable fraud; he completed his task and exchanged a blue dish for a bunch of people, and the group of cat monsters also After achieving his goal, he used ten disabled monsters plus all the humans in the house to gain peace from him.
As for whether it is really safe...
It has nothing to do with him.
Is it possible that the peace gained from him can be applied to the whole world?
but...
The greatest advantage of a dog is loyalty!
Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but touch the traces of the shackles on his wrists that had not faded away. He glanced back at the mansion behind him with regret, and walked towards the restaurant in the distance with these numb-looking humans.
The restaurant where Lu Yuan ate had already been temporarily rented as a place for Six Stars to give orders, and clever humans like the boy, after ensuring their position, were temporarily requisitioned, given some hints, and spread as downlines go out.
On the surface, this is a thankless and dangerous job. It has certain requirements on the psychological quality of the offline people, and it is very difficult to get started.
But if you look at it from another perspective, these human beings who can still maintain their own consciousness are really suitable as subordinates of Longying Bookstore!
Longying Bookstore is already short of people.
Rather than recruiting people on a large scale, and even considering whether there are spies planted by other forces among the recruited people, it is better to conduct an assessment here in advance and select a group of people who have experienced the ordeal to select a group of people who are interested in Longying Bookstore. Highly loyal subordinates!
Save time and effort.
so...
"Well done."
With a hint of dust between his brows, Lu Yuan sat on a chair and looked through the records in his hands, then threw them on the table and said with a smile:
"No demon dares to jump out?"
Yuan Mao took a sip of the hot tea and dissipated the lingering murderous intent in his body. He looked at the river of blood flowing outside the window and praised with a smile:
"My Lord, with this move, those monsters will not choose to jump out as long as they are not stupid. Although it may dampen some of your interest, Lord, it can bring those people out safely. Whether those monsters jump out does not actually matter. important."
"The truth is naturally this..."
Lu Yuan answered affirmatively, then changed the topic and added with obvious regret:
"But I really didn't expect that the monsters here in the Western Region would be so cowardly."
The consequence of being leaderless is the current situation.
As long as Fan Yunfei was still there, the monsters in the city would not cooperate obediently. But after losing Fan Yunfei as the core, the monsters in the city naturally chose to cooperate obediently.
It has to be said that this is the biggest shortcoming of a force with a scattered structure; if it were replaced by the Southern Kingdom, it would not be so smooth.
certainly.
In this process, the blood river also played a big role. Without the shock of the blood river, there might be some monsters who would choose to resist.
but...
"Those who dissatisfied will die. Next, it's time to kick off the show!"
Putting down the tea cup calmly, Lu Yuan walked to the window. As his eyes moved slightly, he saw that the blood river had flowed backwards, converging into a huge blood ball in the air, and then slowly condensed into a dark red crystal, which he held. Hold it in the palm of your hand.
Looking at the empty streets and the clean and tidy roads, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then threw the dark red crystal in his hand on the table and said:
"Open the door!"
