The old man shouted, and the whole village immediately rushed out with the guys. The men held harpoons, the women held kitchen knives, and even the children picked up hatchets and ran out.
A group of people were shouting and angry, and rushed towards the tiger fish.
Ye Congwen turned around and glanced at these people, and saw that they were all old, weak, women and children, all looking skinny from hunger, and they were still wearing old, loose clothes that didn't fit them well.
Although he is still thin, his appearance at this time is not weak at all, with scarlet eyes, wishing to die together with the alien scales!
"These alien scales have been beaten to death by my brothers and sisters, don't be afraid!"
The little boy followed and shouted loudly. After a full meal, his whole body had endless strength.
Ye Congwen also saw that these people had misunderstood and thought that Yilin was bullying him at home, so he had the courage to die together. This shows how he was usually forced to do by Yilin.
"Don't be anxious, everyone, everyone has a share, line up and come and get it, you will be given as much as you can resist!"
Xu Linglong smiled and ordered, she thought these people were crazy from hunger and wanted to come up with knives and forks to rob them!
Without waiting for these people to get close, he used the Phoenix Immortal Technique to transform into a sharp Phoenix Immortal Claw, and lightly scratched the tiger fish with his sharp nails, and the snow-white fish flesh was exposed.
This group of people was immediately suppressed. These people had not touched their hands just now. The tiger fish skin had several inches of thick scales. Let alone a kitchen knife, even if it was swung with a butcher's knife and a giant ax, it wouldn't be enough to chop it. It can't be cut open with one knife or two.
But under Xu Linglong's claw, which was as red as blood, she went in with a single stroke, just like cutting tofu.
At this time, the experienced old man realized that these people were extraordinary. They were probably the legendary scale-controllers who specialized in killing strange scales. He trembled and asked with tears of joy:
"Gods, are you the scale masters sent by the imperial court to kill the strange scales?"
"Fourth Grandpa, you have recognized the wrong person. My brother and sister are Demon Hunters. They are Demon Hunters who specialize in exorcising demons!"
The little boy admired Ye Congwen and the others very much. Such a small person could actually choke a giant crocodile that is hundreds of meters long and hang it by its neck. This ability is as good as the legendary gods who can use magic.
I want to protect my sister. If I learn this kind of spell, the strange scales in the river will no longer be able to bully my brother and sister.
So he secretly wrote down Ye Congwen's sect, and when he grew up, he would go to the Demon Hunting Guard to learn from him.
"Nonsense! How could the immortal who helped us kill the strange scales be the demon leader of the Demon Hunting Guard?"
The old man frowned and retorted, and the people around him also echoed, blaming the little boy for swearing and asking him to apologize in person.
The little boy was stunned for a moment. Whether it was the ferocious Crocodile or the big brother himself, they were both Demon Hunters.
A pair of innocent eyes could only look at Ye Congwen.
"Old man, how come I heard that after the Demon Hunting Guard drove away the corrupt officials, they reduced the taxes of the people who grew crops in half, so that the refugees and bandits had fields and food to eat. How did they become demons?"
Ye Congwen asked with a smile.
"Why isn't he a demon? The Demon Hunting Guards have all taken refuge in the demon beasts and demon birds, so why isn't he a demon?
They reduced taxes on farmers, but then secretly added taxes on us fishermen, and forced officers and soldiers to tax us fishermen.
If you are willing to be a lackey of monsters and monsters, what is that if you are not a demon? "
The more the old man talked, the angrier he became. Even though the plump fish meat gave off bursts of meaty aroma and made his stomach growl, he remained indifferent.
"The Demon Hunters force the officers and soldiers to pay taxes? I remember that it was the common people who carried the food themselves to pay taxes, because they could get a discount if they voluntarily turned it in!"
Ye Congwen asked with some disbelief.
"Discounts, discounts, whatever. The tax money we pay is ultimately transferred to us fishermen. The farmers who farm the fields enjoy the discounts, but we fishermen deserve to be beaten to fractures!"
The more the old man talked, the more excited he became. He was already dizzy with hunger. When he cursed like this, he suddenly felt like the world was spinning.
Turn, and the whole person falls backward.
Ye Congwen quickly stretched out his hand to support the man. Knowing that the old man was too hungry, he quickly told Xu Linglong to come over with a piece of meat to save his life.
Xu Linglong guessed that these people had been deceived by the government. She shook her head and chose a piece of good fish for Ye Congwen to give to the old man to eat first.
It had been a long time since the old man had eaten fish. When he suddenly tasted the taste that he had not seen for a long time, he did not bother to scold the Demon Hunting Guard and just immersed himself in eating.
Xu Linglong and Yu Yueyue first cut a piece of fish for each person to satisfy their hunger, and then asked how many families there were. Then they divided the fish equally according to their accounts and asked them to take the fish home, salt it, and then dry it into cured fish for later use.
The little boy and the little girl were lonely and had no one at home. Ye Congwen and the others had to help the two children pickle fish and make dried cured fish.
The three of them stayed in the village for three days. It was not until all four strange scales were removed that Ye Congwen said goodbye to the little boy and girl. The three of them came to the watershed under the jurisdiction of the crocodile and split up to check the surroundings carefully. Again.
It was found that this crocodile kept its promise and removed all the strange scales occupying the river water. Watching the swarms of fat fish swimming around in the lake.
Yu Yueyue quickly ran to the nearby village and asked them to come out to fish.
In the past three days, the three of them have looked at all the villages in this tributary. They all found a small fishing village on a small tributary of the river, dozens of miles apart. It was surrounded by bare mountains and there were no fields. There is no soil to grow crops, so almost everyone makes a living by fishing.
The nearby rivers are criss-crossed and densely packed. In the upper reaches of this tributary alone, there are at least hundreds of small villages that rely on fishing for a living. Each village has as few as two to three hundred people, and as many as several thousand people!
All in all, there are at least tens of thousands of people, with tens of thousands of mouths to eat. Just relying on this tributary, which is hundreds of meters wide and dozens of meters deep, to catch all the shrimps in one go, is not enough to fill their stomachs.
Therefore, if they want to have enough food and clothing, they have no choice but to go fishing in Yunmeng Ze.
Ye Congwen also knew that even if the three of them worked day and night, they could only help one or two villages save enough food for a few months.
But what about hundreds of villages nearby? We’ve survived this year, but what about next year?
After thinking about it, these fishermen can only survive if they can deal with Yun Mengze's strange scales themselves.
So after helping the two little orphans get the bacon pieces, Ye Congwen took the two girls and flew directly to the depths of Yunmengze.
"Those two little kids are so pitiful. I wonder if they will grow up in the future?"
Yu Yueyue thought about the scene where she said goodbye to her brother and sister just now, and how the two children cried and screamed, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
"The fishermen are all trying to make a living on the boat without their heads. Even if the alien scales don't target them, there is no guarantee that they will all live in peace until old age. Let's look at the fate of the two of them."
Xu Linglong shook her head. There were mostly old people and children in their village. Even if Ye Congwen managed to get the strange scales, who would be able to row a boat to Yunmeng Ze for fishing in the future?
"Only after we deal with the strange scales, the brothers and sisters will have a chance to survive. If we don't deal with the strange scales, they will not be able to survive for years."
Ye looked at the vast and endless Yunmengze, and suddenly remembered himself as a child. When he became an orphan, he was the same age as this little boy.
When no one is around, I climb to the top of the mountain behind my house and look up at the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range. What is the difference between the overlapping and endless Hundred Beasts Mountain Range and the little boy looking at Yunmengze?
They are all looking forward to the ocean and sighing.
"Master is right, we can't handle the strange scales. It's not just the two little brothers and sisters who can't survive the New Year. If you go around Yunmengze, plus the big and small Tongtian River, there are at least tens of millions of fishermen. How many people will starve to death? Man, only God knows."
Xu Linglong sighed, only then did she understand why Ye Congwen wanted to transfer all the Demon Hunting Guards to kill the strange scales. This was really a matter of human life! Hundreds and millions of lives!
Yu Yueyue nodded secretly, and then realized that she had been too selfish before. His face turned red, and he wanted to apologize, but when he saw Xu Linglong staring at him from the side, he was afraid that she would make fun of him, and he couldn't hold him back for a while.
.
In order to explore the distribution points of the alien scales on Yunmeng Ze, the three of them all used the magical power of shrinking into the ground and flew eight miles in one step.
The periphery of Yunmengze is similar to the East China Sea. There is an island or an island group every hundreds of miles. The only difference is that the islands are not as big as the East China Sea.
Ye Congwen estimated that these strange scales had set up strongholds on islands. The three of them searched along the strongholds for an hour and finally found the hiding place of the crocodile.
This is a small island with a radius of less than five miles. The island is lined with green trees and has gurgling spring water. Compared to the humid and hot Yunmengze, which is steaming with clouds and glowing clouds, it can be regarded as a resting place for cooling off.
Especially on this hot June day, the sun in the sky makes the lake very hot. It would be very pleasant to have a place to rest under the shade of a flowing tree.
"Look, there are hundreds of meters of stone slabs here, with green trees above your head and gurgling water at your feet. You can lie down on this stone slab to enjoy the coolness. This is definitely the nest of the crocodile."
Xu Linglong followed the sound of running water to find the crocodile's nest, and prepared to coerce it to take her into the center of Yunmengze, talk to the gods face to face, and meet the mysterious Second Saint.
"Sacred Scale of Crocodile, stop hiding. Since you have done everything, my master is a man who keeps his promises. He will definitely not attack you again. Come out quickly."
Xu Linglong shouted towards the depths of the woods that everyone's time was precious, and she did not want to waste it looking for the crocodile.
Unexpectedly, she shouted several times, but there was no reply at all. Xu Linglong thought that this crocodile would be fined for toasting, and she immediately went to the island to find it.
"There's no need to look for it. This guy must have gone to the New True Dragon's lair to complain. Let's go straight into the center of Yunmengze and meet this mysterious Second Saint."
Ye Congwen glanced at the depths of the woods, and there was no way he could hide a giant 100-meter-long crocodile.
This guy had all his claws and teeth pulled out by himself, so naturally he wasn't looking for food, so there was only one possibility, which was to file a complaint with the rescuers and complain to the experts.
"This old guy is quite cunning. He usually withdraws his strange scales to confuse us, while rushing to the center of Yunmengze to bring reinforcements. If I had known better, I should have turned him into bacon pieces."
Xu Linglong said dissatisfiedly that a small crocodile dared to play tricks in front of her. If she had known better, she should have slapped it to death.
"If it wasn't cunning, I wouldn't have let it go. Think about it, how many strange scales are hidden in these thousands of miles away? If the three of us were to separate and search for them, would you be able to clear them out in just a few months?
In the same way, this old thing is very cunning. In order to deal with us, it will definitely tell all the saint scale brothers about its tragic experience to gain sympathy, and then go back with it to ask the four great scales or the second saint for help. .
In this way, wouldn't all the Holy Scales and Divine Scales in charge around Yun Mengze be gathered together? "
Ye Congwen explained with a smile.
"This not only saves us the time of searching one by one, but when these stewards saw that the crocodile's claws were cut and heard that the demon hunter guard took the initiative, they would more or less restrain their men and ask them to return to the stronghold honestly to save luck. It's not good to bump into your hand!
This is a clever plan that kills three birds with one stone. Master, how did you come up with it? "
Xu Linglong clapped her hands and applauded. No wonder she ignored him even though she winked at him at that time.
"Junior sister, don't be too busy cheering. It will save time to lure the snake out of its hole. However, if all of Yun Mengze's high-level alien scales gather together, how can we defeat so many holy and divine scales with just three of us? "
Yu Yueyue said cautiously, a crocodile is easy to deal with, but what will happen if the eight holy scales and the four divine scales all get together?
