Taijiang.
The largest river that flows through the entire Jin Dynasty from west to east. Throughout the Taijiang River, there are a large number of lakes, large and small, and many of them are inhabited by big monsters.
If you encounter a big demon with a relatively gentle temper, you can basically live in peace with humans.
Some humans would even worship the great demon as a god and offer three sacrifices regularly. Even the Yi Zhen Department would not ask too much about this.
Occasionally, these "demon gods" who enjoy human incense sacrifices will even provide certain protection to the surrounding believers.
This is a virtuous cycle!
but.
Not all monsters have this awareness. Occasionally, some monsters can even be very domineering, often leaving dozens or even hundreds of miles of deserted areas.
Even so, if you stay safe and don't leave your own territory easily, then it's okay. You just need to take warning and precautions, and the harm is not particularly great.
After all, the price humans have to pay is not small if they want to get rid of these big monsters.
After all, away games are too unfavorable for humans, and we have to admit that there are some monster racial talents that make humans extremely troublesome and headache.
For example, some monsters live in swamps, or they are simply water monsters, earth monsters and mountain monsters that are good at burrowing into the ground. Once they burrow into the earth and water, humans may not be able to do anything good with them.
Many monsters are very patient and will hide in their lairs for years if they cannot be defeated. It is impossible for practitioners to guard them all the time.
And if you venture into the monster's lair, it's extremely easy to get trapped inside.
There have only been many similar cases in history, making human monks very wary of entering monster lairs to slay monsters.
What's worse is that a new big monster may emerge in a few years.
As time goes by, even the Yishen Department will not deliberately collect monsters that are not too harmful.
Shaolong Lake.
Located about 600 miles upstream of Jianye, the lake is probably more than 100 miles long and is not a very big lake.
but.
This lake has a radius of about three hundred miles, which is a restricted area for humans.
As for the core reason, there are a group of water monsters living in the lake. The leader is a dragon, who calls himself "General Dragon".
As for its subordinates, there are thousands of little demons and four generals.
They are General Crab, General Ghost, General Carp, and General Red Lian. They are extremely powerful.
For them to be entrenched here, Zhenyi Division has always been on good terms with them, but recently, there have been a series of major cases of monsters attacking humans in the capital.
Especially recently, even the daughters of aristocratic families have been killed, and their blood has been sucked out. The nature is extremely bad, which has made the entire capital start to panic.
Even the life of the nobleman is at risk. Is this Jianye still the Jianye of the human race?
Many imperial envoys wrote to impeach the Zhenyi Department many times, especially the pressure from the Daolu Department, which put great pressure within the Zhenyi Department.
For this reason, they had to investigate the monsters around the capital one by one.
Due to the small manpower and urgent tasks, monster lairs such as Dragon Lake, which are well-known and relatively close to the capital, have become key targets for investigation.
In particular, the Zhenyi Division also discovered some water demon auras from the woman from the aristocratic family who died. The demon-hunting compass pointed directly at Shaolong Lake, allowing the Zhenyi Department to directly send troops to Shaolong Lake.
"Voodus, everything is ready."
The one who spoke was Gan Tong, the commander of the Zhenyi Division, and the one who acted with him was another commander, Zhao Tinglan.
For Yu Youquan, the two are old acquaintances.
In this battle, the two are equivalent to vanguards.
The Dusi of the Zhenyi Division named Fu Yan nodded immediately and said, "Calling the formation, summon General Shaolong to give the Zhenyi Division an explanation."
"Blow the trumpet and beat the drum."
As Gan Tong Gan Zhang Ling gave the order, the surrounding palm seals, palm orders, flags, and a group of armored elite warriors all cheered up.
Woohoo~~~
Bang bang bang~~~
Along with the sound of horns and war drums, sound waves immediately spread through the lake water into the water house at the bottom of the lake.
General Chaolong, who was drinking and eating meat with several lieutenants and enjoying the dance of the clam girl, and several of his subordinates looked up at the lake.
Not long after, a little demon ran in in a panic.
"Report~~~"
"General, it's a disaster, it's a disaster, the human monks are coming to Longhu Lake."
The little demons cannot speak human language, but they are all spirits in the water. They have their own way of communicating through water waves.
General Tailong and several of his subordinates were shocked. They secretly wondered if they had gone too far recently and had kidnapped too many human slaves. Then they became angry with embarrassment.
what does it mean?
Just let those big monsters who directly launch a beast tide massacre the city and exterminate the clan ignore them, and just bully them because the power of Dragon Lake is small, right?
It pokes secretly and attacks sporadically, which is already quite a show of respect. Do you really want to rip it off?
General Tailong: "What a ignorant human being. Our Shui Mansion did not go to attack the city and destroy the stronghold and massacre the human race. They are ungrateful and grateful. How dare they take the initiative to lead troops to attack my general's Shui Mansion. Send troops! Send troops! Send troops!"
The voice of General Long Long resounded throughout the entire Shui Mansion, and none of the other demons dared to speak.
After General Tailong lost his temper, General Liyu, the general in charge, quickly sent a message, "General, calm down, calm down. Human beings are powerful and are used to bullying others. You must not raise an army out of anger!"
When General Chi Lian heard this, he quickly spoke as well. It was also timid.
Although the vast majority of humans are not good at underwater combat, there are so many humans and there are so many geniuses that there are probably a few who are good at underwater combat.
At that time, General Tailong might have been able to escape, but little monsters like them might not be so lucky.
"General Liyu and General Chilian are right. The general must put the foundation as the most important thing. With the ability of the general, there is no need to be afraid of those little humans, but once the foundation of Longhu Lake is lost, then we will have to It’s been a hard life”
General Chaolong's expression changed. He looked at the team not far away who were still dancing and playing sheng and drums, then looked at the servants around him, and nodded immediately.
"What you said makes sense. Order your troops, put on your armour, and follow me to meet that little human being named Laoshi."
"promise."
It has to be said that the influence of human beings is still quite terrifying. General Dragon Dragon has not been open to wisdom for a long time, but as a demon general who loves to learn, he has learned the skills of building mansions and teeth from humans to the fullest. .
It can also be seen from here that humans, as the largest clan at present, have undoubted influence, so much so that many monster clans are all "elite people".
Not long after, all the monsters who ordered their soldiers and horses to make trouble appeared on the surface of Longlong Lake.
Under the pile of water waves, the position of the water monsters was even several feet above the lake. It looked like the peak of a great flood, which seemed to be able to overturn everything on the shore.
ashore.
Everyone in Zhenyi Division changed their expressions.
Especially those armored human warriors, it felt as if the air was solidified. As armored warriors under the Yi Suppression Department, they were naturally extremely strong.
Many of them have the lives of several monsters in their hands, so they are naturally skilled in killing monsters.
but.
There are too many water monsters in this Longlong Lake. Once the big waves that are several feet above the lake surface are captured, they wearing heavy armor will probably not even take a few dips, and they will be directly sucked into the bottom of the lake to feed the fish and shrimps. .
What's more, the leading demon generals are still wearing armor. This is really extraordinary!
Viewed from a distance, the body of the General Dragon Dragon is extremely huge, measuring dozens of feet in size, and the armor it wears is even more gleaming, making it look even more intimidating.
Zhao Tinglan: "The armors worn by Lord Dusi's generals are not as handmade as those of today. I guess they are remnants of ancient ruins."
Fuyan Fudusi's expression changed slightly.
The presence of ancient armor means that this group of water monsters have received ancient inheritance and are not real mountain monsters.
However, the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.
Fuyan said coldly, "Shoot the book."
Gan Tong shouted, "Shoot the book."
Immediately, the commander of the Zhenyi Division drew a strong bow, and the arrows on the bow immediately drew an arc and shot towards the front of the Longhu Formation.
Not long after, a little demon forwarded the book of shooting to General Chi Lian.
General Chilian then forwarded it to General Shaolong.
When the dragon saw it, he was furious.
"Hey, a mere human being is trying to get me to give an explanation to Zhenyi Division with just a piece of arrow writing. What explanation? Why do I, the Dragon Dragon, need to explain to others what I have done all my life?"
Taolong lost his temper and felt completely underestimated by Zhenyisi.
A paper arrow book?
what does it mean?
Its level is so low, the Yi Zhenyi Department doesn't even send an official envoy?
Thinking about its good friend, the last time the Yi Suppression Department came to visit, they sent a special envoy. It didn't even deserve to have an envoy?
The ghost general hurriedly advised, "General, calm down, general, calm down. The foreign suppression department is so powerful that the demons have to bow their heads under the eaves."
General Carp, General Red Lian, and General Crab all looked at General Ghost with relief. Isn't this sinister Meng Gourd quite reliable at critical times? He also knows how to give good advice to the general.
General Tailong sneered and threw the shooting book directly to General Ghost.
The ghost general was stunned for a moment, and when he opened the shooting book and sensed it, he was shocked.
All because it was written on the shooting book that monsters had committed crimes in Jianye not long ago, and the Zhenyi Company detected the evil spirit of the water monster in the victim Qian's daughter.
In order to prove that what Zhenyisi said was true and not fabricate evidence out of thin air to attack Longhu Lake, Zhenyisi even included a portrait of Qian's daughter who suffered a crucifixion.
It was true that the monster sucked all the essence and blood from his body to death.
The Zhenyi Department has a way to detect evil spirits, and the demon-hunting compass points directly to Longhu Lake.
The Zhenyi Division invited General Long Long and his generals to cooperate with the investigation.
The Zhenyi Division will not unjustly accuse a good demon, but it will never allow a demon that harms the human race to continue to go unpunished.
General Crab, General Carp, and General Red Lian all looked at General Ghost in surprise.
The ghost general suddenly panicked and hurriedly explained, "General, you know me. I am a water ghost. What I need is yang energy. Even if I need to find a substitute, there will be no corpse with the blood sucked dry."
General Tailong nodded when he heard this, and looked directly at General Carp, General Chilian, and General Crab.
General Carp was frightened and said hurriedly, "General, you know me well. I was once caught ashore by a fisherman. What I hate the most is fishermen. Besides, I am timid. How could I leave Longlong Lake without permission to go to Jianye?" revenge?"
Jianye is a mighty city in the world, and the monsters are indeed afraid of it.
General Longlong thought for a while and nodded. It is true that General Carp hates fishing, and it is true that he often makes trouble and capsizes fishing boats. But given him ten courages, he would not dare to go to Jianye and do evil!
But what happens when the demon-hunting compass points directly to Long Lake?
General Chao Long looked at General Chi Lian. Its true form was the Red Lian Water Snake. It was cold-blooded, sinister, and courageous. If someone really committed a crime and implicated everyone, Chi Lian was the most likely candidate.
Chi Lian panicked and said hurriedly, "General, you know me well. I am a cold-blooded animal. If I really want to suck blood, I will definitely choose a strong man with sufficient yang. How can I choose a woman? Slander, this must be slander! "
Then.
The eyes of all the monsters fell on General Crab at the same time. General Crab became numb and his shell turned red rapidly.
"General, you know me well. If I do something that brings trouble to everyone, I deserve to be struck by lightning and turned into a hairy crab."
This oath is quite heavy!
General Tailong was annoyed, "Instead of you generals, are they still those little monsters? Or is it more difficult for me to be the general?"
The four great generals looked at each other, their eyes becoming cold at the same time.
at the same time.
On the shore of Shaolong Lake.
Du Si Fuyan looked at the magic weapon Demon Hunting Compass in his hand, his eyes narrowed to a slit.
"The demonic energy is consistent. The demonic aura left on Qian's daughter came from Longlong Lake. Now the pointer is spinning even more. He shoots the book again and tells General Longlong that the Zhenyi Division does not want to start a war without permission, but it is absolutely We will not allow demons who commit evil crimes to kill people to go unpunished, they must be investigated by the Yi Suppression Department."
call out!
Another arrow shot towards the water demon formation.
General Tailong was furious, this was really going too far!
"If you want to fight, then fight, blow the trumpets and beat the drums."
This time, the four generals stopped trying to persuade him, and a great war began.
