Zhulong suddenly shouted angrily, no one can help the Xuanyuan royal family! This group of wolfish and ambitious things has been besieging the base camp of Alien Scale for three hundred years. The deep hatred between the two sides is thicker than a thousand years of ice.
After defeating the demonic birds and beasts, the first thing to do is to deal with them. If you don't have any time to spare at this time, it would be nice if you don't help the Demon Hunting Guards to attack them. How can you still help them?
"In that case, the four of us will split into two groups and head directly to the Great and Small Tongtian River!"
Chilong saw that the four divine scales had reached a consensus, so he rushed to the Xiaotongtian River non-stop, trying to arrive in front of the Demon Hunter Guards, and save as many as possible.
The Great and Small Tongtian River is tens of thousands of miles long, hundreds of miles wide, and hundreds of meters deep. It crosses thirty-six counties, flows through the three great dynasties of Western Wu, Northern Di, and Southern Barbarians, and reaches the Jiutian Plateau and the Warcraft Mountains.
Said to be a big river, in fact, judging from their size, they are more like a long lake, which is naturally a large hiding place for the alien scales.
In previous years, there were many merchant ships coming and going, and there was an endless stream of fishermen who made a living by fishing.
But since Yilin declared war on the demonic birds and beasts, the two rivers were full of Yilin coming from all directions.
The big ones are hundreds of meters long, and the small ones are bigger than fishing boats. They swim in dense groups in the Tongtian River.
These strange scales are extremely manic. They eat people they see and bite boats when they encounter them, so fishermen and merchant ships are afraid to go into the river.
I thought they were only temporarily occupying the river to transport troops, but who would have thought that these alien scales had been transported for a year or two and were still gathering in an endless stream. And it shows no signs of stopping.
The low hills on both sides of the river bank were filled with fishermen and businessmen with haggard faces and sad faces. They watched from morning till night, but the strange scales in the river kept coming one after another.
An old man was smoking a pipe made of leaves. He finished the pipe in one breath, and then he was so angry that he beat the pipe on the ground and said with a sad face:
"Go back and continue smoking leaf tobacco tomorrow! What kind of world is this? Using leaves as tobacco, I have lived for seventy years, this is the first time!"
"Old Cathead, everyone is starving to death, but you are the only one who still cares about tobacco? Will you die if you take two puffs less?"
Some people said dissatisfiedly that this old man was a single man, and he could eat enough for the whole family without being hungry. Even if he picked up a small crab, he would have a full meal.
He talks about his two puffs of tobacco every day, which makes these middle-aged pillars, both senior and junior, very angry.
"It doesn't matter if I miss a bite of rice. If I can't smoke this cigarette, it will kill this old man! I can't sleep all night long!
This damn strange scale, when will the merchant ships selling cut tobacco come in? "
The old man sighed with joy and sorrow.
"It's all over. This situation won't stop for another three or two months. Unless the scale-controlling gods come over and count these strange scales, we will still have to eat boiled crabs."
Some people sighed and lamented that if they couldn't get out of the river, they could only go to the creek to dig crabs to eat. Unfortunately, merchant ships couldn't get in. People couldn't buy oil and salt rice, so they had to rely on small fish and crabs in the creeks to satisfy their hunger.
Unfortunately, as time goes by, even eating boiled crab becomes a luxury!
After thinking about it, I can only hope that the immortal with scale hands will descend from the sky to rescue everyone.
"A hand that controls scales? A hand that controls chickens! These people stay at the sea every day eating lobsters and abalones. They are so happy that they don't care about their lives. How can they care about the lives of us fishermen?
After all these years, has anyone seen what the scale-controlling hand looks like?
If this continues, we will never pay taxes again! "xь.
"Okay, okay, what's the use of saying this? In this case, even if you are willing to pay taxes to them, will they dare to collect it?
Let's all go back. I heard that the Xuanyuan royal family is at war with the Demon Hunting Guards. We all have too much time to care about ourselves. How can we have time to care about the lives of ordinary people like us? "
"The Demon Hunting Guard? I said this Demon Hunting Guard is also a big scourge. If you don't fight so many alien scales, why are you fighting with your own people every day?
Who is the boss of the Demon Hunter Guard? How can we do things that are harmful to the country and the people? Could it be that he is in the same group as Alien Scale? "
"Then who knows? These days we eat everything we eat.
There are so many people! Aren’t those corrupt officials in the county government the same?
Eating royal grain and national taxes, aren’t you doing the business of draining the national treasury all day long? Crows in the world are generally black. How many good things can an official do? "
A group of people waited all day but got nothing. Everyone was so angry that they could only catch and scold anyone. .Ь.
"Hey, you have wronged the Demon Hunter Guard boss. I went to visit my relatives a few years ago, and the people who grew food there were full of praise for the Demon Hunter Guard!
These people not only killed corrupt officials, but also reduced their tax money by half. The Demon Hunters used the tax money to build schools and build water canals. In just two or three years, every household was full of grains and warehouses. The remaining grain is used to raise pigs and chickens, and every household in the village takes turns killing pigs. Not only do they eat white rice, but they also eat meat! "
A middle-aged man retorted from the side. At the mention of eating meat and white rice, everyone present could not help but swallow their saliva, and some people's stomachs were already growling.
After hearing the middle-aged man speak so well of the Demon Hunters, all of them couldn't help but ask:
"So good to the people? Then why don't they come to us?"
"The Demon Hunter Guards only care about the farmers who farm on the farmland they conquered. Not to mention the fishermen like us who make a living by fishing, even the farmers who farm on the royal fields of the Xuanyuan royal family and the royal family's fields. This treatment.
Because their boss said that the Demon Hunters would only take back what belongs to them. "
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed. The village where his relative lived happened to be across the river from the farmland of the emperor's relatives on the other side. While the meat was fragrant and he drank freely, he squatted at the door every day to smell the aroma and satisfy his hunger. It looked really pitiful.
"Then what nonsense are you talking about! We live near a river. The hills are covered with rocks. We don't even have a decent vegetable garden. There are no fish to catch. Even the corrupt officials don't want to talk to us. How do you expect us to be happy every time? Meat and white rice?”
Some people were immediately disappointed when they heard that the Demon Hunter Guards only cared about the farmers on their own fields, and they began to curse.
"I don't ask for anything more than meat and white rice. As long as he can drive away the alien scales so that I can go out on the boat to fish and feed three children, no matter if he is a demon hunter or a scale controller, I will do it." I am willing to build a temple for him on the mountain and bring my children to pray for him every day."
A young man was imagining the happy life of grain farmers. Suddenly, a strange roar came from the wide Datongtian River, which suddenly woke him up from his dream.
When I think about my three skinny children, if I can get the Demon Hunter Guards to come, I wish I could kneel by the river and not get up.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, and the top of the mountain suddenly became silent.
"Then beg slowly. It's getting dark soon. Old man, I'm going home to pick leaves to make tobacco! Oh, it's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Old man, I'd better go to the creek to dig for crabs. One is just right and two are full! "
The old single man chewing his pipe gloated that it was better to be single. He could eat as much as he wanted by just turning over a crab, unlike those who had a family and raised a family.
When you open your eyes, you will see a group of mouths wailing for food. They are babbling like a group of chickens. They are so noisy that their heads are about to explode.
"You old bastard! Let me see if you die, who will cry for you?"
A woman couldn't stand the appearance of an old single man and cursed bitterly.
"Sister, why are you angry with him, an old bachelor? A man like him who eats a crab for three days - oh, it's getting dark, let's go to the creek and dig some crabs to satisfy our hunger. It's better to eat some It’s better if you don’t eat!”
People on the side began to persuade him, the most comfortable person in the village now is the single old man, if you get angry with him, aren't you asking for trouble?
When it comes to crabs to satisfy hunger, everyone is interested. Although the boiled crabs are unpalatable, it’s too late and you won’t be able to eat them if you want!
At the thought of this, the fishermen on the top of the mountain retreated in twos and threes and followed the single old man to fish for crabs in the creek.
The woman held back her anger for a long time. After all, she couldn't survive her hungry stomach, so she had no choice but to compromise. How many mouths did the family have to feed?
"Xiao Liuzi, let's go flip the crabs too. There are a lot of crabs just after the tide recedes.
If you go late, you’ll be gone!
It doesn't matter to us adults if we are hungry for one or two meals, but it is unacceptable for children to go without food for a whole day. "
The woman shouted to the young man who had three children waiting to be fed. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly knelt down and faced the setting sun.
"Alas! The old bachelor is right, it's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. This thing doesn't work. We have been begging the Dragon King for two years. Do you think we have taken away all the strange scales?
It’s okay if he doesn’t ask, but now the more he asks, the more he gets. In two days, we will throw the statue of the old Dragon King into the river for him! "
The woman thought that Xiao Liuzi was begging the Dragon King to take away these strange scales, so she couldn't help shouting angrily.
The people around who had not left also had the same thoughts, but now they were too hungry and weak, and they did not have the strength to lift the Dragon King statue, so they had no choice but to remain silent.
"Fourth Aunt, please go first and let me kneel down for a while. If a demon hunter from the Demon Hunting Guard comes to pray for you, won't our whole village be saved?"
They say sincerity leads to success, let me try it. "
The young man named Xiaoliuzi said helplessly, he didn't want to kneel either! But I gave all the crabs to the children to eat, and I didn't eat any food for three days and three nights.
My legs are trembling, so weak that I still have the strength to stand up? I had no choice but to borrow the donkey from the slope and simply pretend to kneel down and pray to God.
"Well, whatever, if the old Dragon King doesn't bless us, let's worship another god. Maybe it will actually work?
Xiao Liuzi, which god are you worshiping? "
The woman also knelt down and asked curiously.
"I, I am worshiping the boss of the Demon Hunting Guard, and I have no other requirements. As long as he helps me drive away the strange scales in the river for a day, and let me catch a net of fish for the children to satisfy their hunger."
Xiao Liuzi looked at the flaming clouds in the distance. The golden light looked like the abode of the gods, and he couldn't help but kneel down and worship.
"That's true. Let's pray to gods and immortals. We don't ask for wealth. We just want to have enough food to eat."
The woman nodded, feeling that Xiao Liuzi's request was very little. If a god could hear it, she would have a lot of hope.
He also knelt down and begged:
"Boss of the Demon Hunter Guard, do a good job and save us fishermen with empty stomachs. As long as you help us drive away the alien scales for one day, the people in our village will throw away the statue of the old Dragon King tomorrow and put your statue away." Go up."
After the woman finished reciting, she bowed three times to the sky. Just when the two were about to get up, a miracle suddenly came!
A sword light shot out from the flaming cloud, and a majestic voice shouted angrily:
"The devil dares to disturb the people in broad daylight. I, the Demon Hunting Guard, will go out on my behalf to kill the strange scales today!"
A ray of sword light flew out and flew towards the mighty Alien Scale in the river. With a click, the indestructible Alien Scale's head was cut off at the neck, and blood shot out three feet high. The arrogant Alien Scale actually died!
"Look, everyone, a god has come down to kill the aliens!"
Xiao Liuzi rubbed his eyes and took another closer look. He saw indeed that he was right. A strange scale whose whole body was covered with armor was actually chopped off by a sword light!
He quickly exclaimed loudly.
The surrounding villagers who had not gone far heard Xiao Liuzi's cry and ran back to check. They didn't know it. When they saw that Yi Lin's head had been chopped off, they quickly knelt on the ground without saying a word and worshiped loudly:
"God! Drive away all the strange scales in the river. Please save us!"
At this time, a woman with a fairy spirit flew down from the clouds, suddenly stretched out a giant claw, snatched Yilin's head away, turned around and chased after other Yilin.
"The goddess has come down to earth. Call everyone here. Let's keep her here and ask her to help us drive away all the strange scales in the river and buy us one day to sail the boat for fishing!"
The woman shouted loudly, asking all the fishermen to come back and kneel together to beg the goddess for help.
