Chapter 136 Canglong Mountain, the Dragon Appears, Avalanche Disaster!
In the end, King Qin did not send anyone to lift Tianwuhou's body out of the ice at the gate.
After returning to the shore of the gate, King Qin looked at him from a distance, with tears in his eyes.
She turned around and asked the soldiers beside her:
"How long can the food and grass we bring last?"
The soldiers were silent for a while:
"A month at most."
In fact, King Qin did not bring much food and grass with him when he traveled.
Because it can be replenished in other cities, and it is not a march all the way north, there is no need to bring too much food.
Whether passing through Chuzhou or Jingzhou, we have supplied supplies.
But generally you don’t carry too much food with the team, otherwise the speed will be very slow.
This month's food supply is only for the hundreds of soldiers of the King of Qin.
There are at least thousands of soldiers in Canglong Pass now, and this little food is just a drop in the bucket.
King Qin sighed lightly.
Makino felt that there were many solutions, it was just a matter of whether he wanted to solve it or not.
Things in Jingzhou have nothing to do with him.
To put it mildly, if something happens in Jingzhou, it will be a good thing for Yunzhou.
Once Canglong Pass is lost, a large number of demons will invade Jingzhou, and the imperial court will no longer take into account Yunzhou's rebellion.
But judging from the current actions of the imperial court, a large number of demons have really invaded Jingzhou. Maybe the imperial court will simply give up and go south...
Those who suffer are probably just the people of Jingzhou.
When I abandoned the land of Beiyou, I had done this kind of thing before.
In the long run, it will definitely be disadvantageous.
For example, once the Yunzhou Basin is occupied by demons, there is no telling how much it will cost to take it back. Even if we take it back, the land will still be far from what it was before.
"Your Highness..." The old eunuch on the side raised his eyelids lightly, "General Chen will defend Canglong Pass even if he is willing to die. His character and will are admirable. But... we can't control too much now. Now you still want to leave Canglong Pass, Go to Canglong Mountain to search for your mother's relics. Not only can we not care about it, we must leave as soon as possible."
"Because once Canglong Pass is lost, even if we find your mother's relics when we go to Canglong Mountain, it will be even more troublesome to come back."
"You can't even come back. The current situation of Canglong Pass is that there is only one... straw before it is lost."
Every time the old eunuch made suggestions, Makino felt they were right.
Although, it's a little less generous.
King Qin was silent.
Looking at the young man who was shaving ice in the distance.
She turned around and looked at Makino again:
"Mu Qishang, if you were me, what would you do?"
Makino was stunned.
[1. The fall of Canglong Pass is a foregone conclusion. It is better to quickly enter Canglong Mountain to find the relics while there is still some time]
[2. I am not Your Highness, I don’t know. But I am a businessman and I will not make a loss-making business]
[3. We cannot let Canglong Pass fall, but we must also enter Canglong Mountain to find the relics]
【4,……】
The options of King Qin's route have been a bit heavy along the way.
Makino can also feel that this should be an important option related to the King of Qin line.
Based on her understanding of King Qin, she is still kind-hearted at heart, and she is definitely not towards enemies.
One and three are two completely opposite lines, and they seem to be neutral. They are not clearly stated, but have the style of hawkers and merchants.
Makino gave it a try and chose one first. After the selection, he was promoted to King Qin and lost a lot of favor, but he still agreed.
From this aspect, King Qin still cared more about the opinions of his strange businessman.
Not long after leaving Canglong Pass and before entering Canglong Mountain, I saw a large number of demons occupying Canglong Mountain.
Lost.
It also means that there is no way back.
Makino shook his head secretly, this option still didn't work. It’s not a good idea to give it up directly.
Option three, the favorability of the King of Qin will increase, but at the same time, the King of Qin will give the food of his soldiers to the soldiers of Canglong Pass.
However, after leaving Canglong Pass, the sky was covered with heavy snow. Before reaching Canglong Mountain, everyone was in a dilemma without food. At the same time, they would also face the incoming demons, and their life and death were uncertain.
Makino tried this important option one by one, and finally chose the second one.
"A loss-making transaction?" King Qin was startled, and then his eyes lit up, "What do you mean, do you have a way? Just... tell me, what do you want?"
"If you can prevent Canglong Pass from falling, what else do you want?"
"..." Makino.
I didn’t expect this option to go in this direction.
Seeing Makino's silence, King Qin seemed to feel that these words were somewhat inappropriate...
He has sacrificed too much along the way, what more could he want?
At this time, even the wise King Qin was a little confused.
Could it be that just because he had a deal with me, he helped me get here without any intention?
Makino looked at Canglong Pass, vaguely feeling that Canglong Pass might be a key point in the subsequent plot.
He thought for a moment and said:
"Before I answer, let me ask the prince a question. If I can't help it, what will you do?"
"Leave." King Qin shook his head gently.
Indeed, she would not be so stupid as to save such a pass at the cost of putting herself in danger.
Makino Road:
"I do have a way. I just need King Qin to agree to my request."
"Request?" King Qin was startled, "What request?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. We'll talk about it later." Makino smiled slightly.
"Okay!" King Qin nodded, "As long as you have the means, I will remember whatever requests you have and will never break your promise!"
Seeing this, Makino nodded slightly and said:
"Actually, it's not difficult to defend Canglong Pass. On the contrary, it's quite troublesome to retreat. Because we can't cross Beiyou River."
"On the contrary, the pass here is majestic and dangerous. If you guard it, you can drive away countless demons."
"The only trouble is that there is no food."
This is the main problem of Canglong Pass.
Actually the weapons are pretty good.
Most of the people left now, or those who can still survive, are high-level martial artists, otherwise they would not be alive now.
A martial artist who has reached the top level and practices the secret martial arts can be capable of fighting without using external force on weapons.
So, just solve the food problem.
"I remember that you seem to have a strange food pill that can make people stop eating for half a month or even a month. After soaking in water like soup and melting, ordinary people can drink it and eat for several days."
King Qin's eyes brightened slightly, "Do you want to use this?"
Bigu Pill is indeed an extremely unnatural thing for the army.
However, Makino's demand for this item is very low, and he is not cautious enough to buy hundreds of them.
He only has a few dozen in his body as a regular spare.
Of course, it is not impossible to buy it if you really want to, but there are so many Bigu Pills, which are quite expensive.
If it was used for Kuo Yu's army, Makino could do this.
But here, Makino has a better way.
"This thing is indeed good, but it is not suitable for here." Makino said, "Thousands of soldiers want to defend this place. It is difficult to just eat those kinds of food pills. On the contrary, there is a lot of food here."
"Where does the food come from here?" King Qin asked confused.
"Could it be that your Excellency is talking about the corpse of a demon?" The old eunuch on the side realized what he was saying, and his face changed slightly. "Not even warriors dare to eat the flesh and blood of demons at will. Even if it is made into bitter meat, it is extremely dangerous. Even if it is slightly If you are not careful, you will be infected by the evil spirit in the demon's flesh and blood, and you may turn into a demon, and Canglong Pass will fall faster."
Makino Road:
"I have a paper charm that can extract the evil spirit from the flesh and blood of demons and make it as edible as the flesh and blood of livestock."
That's right, it's the evil-dispelling talisman.
It was a talisman that Makino learned when he first started making talismans.
At that time, I was still outside Taiping City, in order to deal with the hundreds of demon corpses.
Moreover, in order to better skin the corpses of demons, this talisman was refined the most.
There is no way, every demon corpse must be purified before it can be used. In addition, we have been raiding the demon lairs and accumulating demon corpses, which all need to be purified and eliminated.
Naturally, Makino carries a lot of these talismans with him at all times.
Demon flesh and blood is actually very good food. The flesh and blood itself contains strong vitality. Eating it can not only strengthen oneself, but also satisfy one's needs.
At the beginning, Kuo Yujun ate it every day so that he could train to a certain combat effectiveness in a few months.
The number of demons here in Canglong Pass is greater than when I swept away the demon lair and even when the demons attacked Taiping City.
There are demon corpses almost everywhere outside the pass.
"Is there really such a magical thing?" The old eunuch choked and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but along the way, he had seen too many magical things about this strange merchant. I just let the next few words stick in my throat.
Upon seeing this, Makino first found an excuse to leave for a while and asked them to prepare a few monsters for demonstration later.
Then change the mode and first go online to seal the demon, take away dozens of evil-dispelling talismans and leave the game, and then go online to the hawker character and come to King Qin and others.
Evil-dispelling talismans are not expensive in the city. Back then, one spirit stone could buy three of them in Qinghefang City.
The evil-dispelling charms I made in the game cost absolutely nothing.
There are even many demon-sealing people.
Of course, dozens of them are enough.
Mainly because of the improvement of talisman-making experience and skills. It is also an evil-dispelling talisman. At first, the evil-dispelling talisman made by Makino could only dispel the evil spirit of three or four demons.
But now Makino is about to touch the second-level Talisman Master.
One of the evil-dispelling talismans made can drive away the evil spirit of dozens of demons.
Can be used for a very long time.
Of course, it wouldn't work if it was the kind of monster with strength comparable to the sixth or seventh grade.
But if this kind of monster appeared in Canglong Pass, it would have been lost long ago.
The demonstration was that the King of Qin also asked the grandson of Marquis Tianwu to summon many guards to watch.
The purpose is simple, if you fail, it's okay.
But if it succeeds, it can greatly improve the morale of the soldiers guarding the gate at this time, and at least give them real hope.
Chen Polu rubbed his hands, holding bundles of wood between his hands, and started a fire outside the camp in the pass.
One by one, the soldiers with sallow complexions and skinny muscles rubbed their hands while setting up the grill.
"General Chen, can King Qin really let us eat fresh demon meat?" A soldier whispered, "If you take one bite of that thing, you may lose consciousness and then go crazy and attack the same kind..."
Chen Polu thought for a moment and nodded immediately:
"Sure!"
In fact, he didn't really believe it, but as the deputy general of Canglong Pass at this time, he certainly couldn't have the slightest doubt.
Okay, just wait a moment.
King Qin said that they planned to demonstrate on site and then start baking on site.
After the roasting was finished, King Qin was the first to eat.
King Qin said so, how could he doubt it?
Can you still come to Canglong Pass at this time? Chen Polu knew that except for the King of Qin, even the imperial court could no longer trust him.
Not long after, I saw several soldiers of King Qin coming over personally carrying a magic crown ice pheasant.
This is a chicken monster that looks like a tiger or a black bear, and its wings are larger than those of an ordinary eagle.
With its size, it can feed at least a dozen soldiers.
If you save a little, you can even feed dozens of soldiers half full.
They are considered to be lower than second-grade demons, and they are everywhere outside the gate.
However, the soaring evil spirit will also be a great psychological test for the martial artist if he wants to resist. Not to mention the unimaginable side effects.
It's not like they haven't eaten.
Some soldiers were very hungry and had already eaten. However, not long after eating it, he became an enemy...
If grandpa hadn't strictly prohibited the consumption of demon meat, Canglong Pass would have been out of control without being breached by demons at this time.
Chen Polu looked at it with hope.
The mysterious counselor beside King Qin gently took out a strange talisman and stuck it on the monster.
In just a few breaths, the demon's strong and substantial aura of evil quickly disappeared as if blown by a strong wind.
Then, he watched three soldiers grill the demon on the table in front of many guards.
Not long after, the long-lost smell of barbecue entered the nostrils of countless soldiers along with the chill in the air.
Just smelling the smell made Chen Polu feel full of strength.
His eyes were filled with tears:
"Grandpa... Canglong Pass has been saved."
"It's just that the one who saved us was not the imperial court...but...brother King Qin who was thousands of miles away...your former student."
——
King Qin took a bite of a piece of barbecue.
As the King of Qin, she had eaten countless delicacies.
She has eaten barbecued meats from all kinds of exotic animals.
The demon's barbecue can only be regarded as delicious meat without any condiments. But at this moment, it was indeed the most memorable piece of barbecue she had ever eaten in her life.
The old eunuch on the side just twisted a piece of soft meat, made a funnel shape with one hand that was not suitable for his identity, picked up the meat with the other hand, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
After eating, his eyes became more complicated.
He has eaten bitter meat.
He has also eaten demon meat.
There is indeed no trace of obscenity in the meat in the mouth.
magic.
Amazing.
The old eunuch looked at the Qi Shang who was sharing the barbecue.
An outsider businessman without much strength, but possesses all kinds of incredible magical things, and it seems that he can change the world if he takes out any of them.
"Your Highness, what do you think of this meat?" Makino asked.
"The taste is acceptable." King Qin sighed, "But now it is unimaginably delicious."
[The favorability of King Qin increased by 59/100]
Makino ate a lot, but stopped after a few bites.
For monsters like this, with today's evil-dispelling talisman, one can be used for a long time, and hundreds of them are no problem.
Dozens of evil-dispelling talismans were left behind, and the demons purified were enough to feed the two or three thousand gatekeepers for a long time.
As long as there are more monsters attacking, they will have less to worry about.
At least he can hold on until King Qin comes back from Canglong Mountain, so that his return will be safe.
At this time, the grandson of Marquis Tianwu came over, knelt in front of the two of them, kowtowed and said:
"Sir's life-saving grace will always be engraved in our hearts by our officers and men at Canglong Pass!"
Makino looked at the grandson of Marquis Tianwu. He was already in the third rank at a young age.
His talent is not inferior to that of Shen Qingchan.
He has been guarding the border with Marquis Tianwu all year round, and being able to guard Canglong Pass after Marquis Tianwu passed away shows that his strength, courage and courage are far beyond ordinary people.
He will also be a general in the future.
But the imperial court left it alone at the border.
Makino smiled and said:
"If you want to thank me, please thank King Qin."
"Speaking of which, I have some relationship with your grandfather, Marquis Tianwu."
"Are you related to my grandfather?" The young man was a little confused. Why didn't his grandfather say that he knew such a strange person?
Makoye said, it was because of the reputation of your grandfather, Marquis Tianwu, that you could infiltrate the Feng family in Taiping City to deter the thieves king at that time...
Otherwise, I might not be able to get out at that time.
Makino smiled and said nothing, without explaining too much.
A few days later, King Qin left most of his soldiers behind at Canglong Pass just in case.
With only a dozen of the most elite people and the old eunuch, Makino and Makino walked out of Beiguan and headed for Canglong Mountain, which was covered by heavy snow.
After leaving Canglong Pass, the environment suddenly became even worse.
Almost every once in a while, a small wave of demons would attack from all around.
Heavy snow has covered the original road.
Fortunately, King Qin was well prepared and had his own map of Canglong Mountain. It was not very detailed, but at least he could find the entrance to Canglong Mountain.
Makino, on the other hand, took out the ancient treasure map.
The treasure map records the location where Master Yan Zhennan died in Canglong Mountain.
It is also the so-called burial ground.
Not surprisingly, when you get to this place, you should be able to find the innate qi magical skill that appeared in the first chapter.
The branch line in the early stage and the magical power in the later stage.
The burial place is at the top of Xunlong Peak in Canglong Mountain.
The treasure painting is more detailed.
This may also be a test for future generations by the senior who created the magical power.
If you can go to Canglong Mountain with your own strength, you will be qualified to receive the inheritance of his old man's magical skills.
After dozens of miles and nearly a day's walking, the group finally arrived at the foot of Canglong Mountain.
At this point, the demons that occasionally appear have already reached the third level of strength.
"My mother said that she was competing with others in martial arts near Xunlong Peak in Canglong Mountain..." King Qin looked at the map of Canglong Mountain in his hand, "There are many peaks in Canglong Mountain, among which Xunlong Peak is the tallest. If you want to reach the peak To get to the top, you have to climb a thousand-foot snow-capped mountain and walk across the chain bridge connecting the peaks.”
"The Xunlong Peak stands thousands of feet high. There is no way to climb up from the ground. You can only climb up from the side peak first, and then cross the iron cable bridge."
"Back when the land of Beiyou was not yet lost, there were rumors that a mythical dragon from ancient times had arrived, hovering at Xunlong Peak for a few days and then flying into the sky."
King Qin told the history of Canglong Mountain in the temporary camp, "Later, this place was named Canglong Mountain. The peak where the mythical dragon landed was called Xunlong Peak."
"When the dynasty was first established, countless poets and tourists came here and left countless deeds."
"During the heyday of martial arts, Xunlong Peak in Canglong Mountain also became a holy place for countless martial arts masters to discuss martial arts and compete in martial arts."
Makino nodded slightly.
The mother of King Qin was also a top-notch female knight in those days. She was the only one in the world to be able to go to Dragon Peak to compete in martial arts and discuss martial arts.
Judging from time, Queen Qin's mother should be close to the same era as the old man who created the magical power.
In other words, both of them have the same goal.
There are only slight differences.
For example, King Qin only knew about Xunlong Peak, but she didn't know its specific location.
And because a long time has passed, the relics may have turned into ice sculptures, and they may not be recognized even in front of our eyes.
This was also the reason why she brought Qi Shang here in the first place, to hunt for treasures and identify objects.
After a night's rest, the group prepared to climb the mountain the next morning.
Calculating time, a martial artist with his strength could actually climb up the Thousand-foot Snow Mountain very quickly.
However, there are many demons inside Canglong Mountain, and fourth-level demons emerge in endlessly, which will definitely bring great obstacles to mountain climbing!
At first, things went smoothly for the group.
The old eunuch is a fifth-grade grand master, and with a dozen elite soldiers, he can quickly surrender and kill even fourth-grade monsters without delaying his journey.
However, the higher you climb, the more dangerous it becomes.
"The mountains are so towering, and with this vast amount of snow, once an avalanche occurs, it may be difficult to retreat."
The old eunuch's eyes were serious.
Ever since he entered the realm of Canglong Mountain, he had felt uneasy.
"Lao Hai, I heard that there is a fifth-grade monster in Canglong Mountain." King Qin struggled to pull out the snow shoes from the snow pit and looked at the slightly dark snow layer, "What kind of monster is it?"
"The Cangxue Demonic Dragon King," the old eunuch whispered, "is the rumored descendant of the mythical dragon that descended back then and left behind in Canglong Mountain. Of course, this is just a rumor, and the specific origin is unclear."
Jiao?
Makino was startled, Jiao had the blood of a dragon.
Could it be that the dragon blood that I have been looking for for a long time can still be found here?
Makino did know that there was a fifth-grade demon sitting in Canglong Mountain.
A fifth-grade demon is much stronger than a fifth-grade warrior.
The reason is very simple. The first is that the terrain of Canglong Mountain is icy cold. The strength of ordinary warriors here is reduced by three levels, especially when facing that kind of fifth-grade monster, they cannot show their strength at all.
The second is that big demons of this level often have special bloodlines, and when a group of demons gather together, it is extremely difficult to destroy them even if they send troops.
Just look at the terrain of Canglong Mountain and you will know that even if the army comes, there is nothing they can do.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the world-famous legendary demon lair.
The most troublesome thing is that there may be more than one big monster like this in this legendary lair.
"According to the historical records of Canglong Mountain, the fifth-grade great demon is not only the Cangxue Jiao Demon King." The old eunuch continued, "There is also a mountain-covering demon ape, but its strength is inferior to that of the Demon Jiao King. The Demon Jiao King is respected. At the fifth level, At this stage of tasting, these big monsters have a strong sense of place."
“Even with the wisdom of a near man.”
This is the difference between monsters and monsters in the world of immortality.
The monsters at the eighth or ninth level of qi training in the world of immortality do not have the wisdom of human beings.
The difference is that the monsters here are older than the monsters of the same realm in the world of immortality.
After all, if this world's spiritual energy is exhausted, it will take hundreds of years to breed a fifth-grade demon.
In the world of immortal cultivation, if a demonic beast absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth day by day, and reaches the tenth level of cultivation, it will not take hundreds of years, some decades will be enough.
King Qin was thoughtful.
While the group of people were talking, suddenly, they heard a faint cry of an ape.
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
The old eunuch's face changed drastically:
"No! It's the Mountain-Covering Demonic Ape! Quick, take His Highness to the alternate route!"
After saying that, the old eunuch jumped straight towards the location of the ape's cry.
Many other soldiers hurriedly led King Qin and Muye to the alternate route on the other side.
However, before they had gone very far, they heard a huge tremor from the mountain.
Vaguely, it seemed like an ancient groan was heard.
Boom!
In an instant, the dark snow that was originally solid like a rock suddenly cracked and turned into a rolling torrent...
Thank you all for correcting the errors. Now the error correction is very convenient. As long as it is marked, I can display it directly in the background without having to search for it, which is very convenient. Of course I change it every time I finish writing it, but there are always some things that slip through the cracks...
