Chapter 0569: Looking North to the Wolf Demon
A large area to the north of Ice City is the famous Wolf Plains in the Land of Monsters. It is also surrounded and protected by poisonous mist. Wolf Plains has no exit. If you want to leave this place, you can only use Ice City. This is why Maintaining the peace between the Wolf Demon Tribe and the Holy Mother Tribe.
The wolf demon tribe often produces great demons. Qi Wushang was able to get the support of a large number of demon tribes before he became the giant demon king, which is directly related to this.
Mu Xingqiu led the Taoist priests and demon tribesmen to reach the Ice City safely after nearly a month's trek. At this time, the Ice City had not yet been repaired, so the new team camped on a high ground outside the city. There was a demon statue standing at the highest point, surrounded by It is the tent of the Taoist priest, and down the slope towards the ice city are the camps of spirit demons and various tribes.
The golem put on the black armor again and faced the Wolf Plain in the north, both monitoring and summoning.
There were more than a dozen humans and monsters standing around the golem.
Yin Buchen crouched at the feet of the demon statue, with tears filling his eyes, "I can feel that Laojun is inside. Laojun, I am your humble demon servant, do you still remember me..."
The thin and tall Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons stood aside, swaying like a bamboo pole in the cold wind, "If Mr. Yishi really looks like this, he is very majestic. I am willing to have a lot of children with him."
Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons did not like to go out of the city, and especially hated the wind and snow. She grabbed the hem of her clothes and tightened her robe tightly. "The wolf demons are very stubborn. They hate you and would rather surrender to Bing Kui than join your team. I told you They also issued threats, but it was useless. They destroyed the houses and caves, burned all unnecessary things, and moved the whole family to the Moon Worship Mountain in the north, about seventy miles away from here, which is also the northern part of the poisonous fog. Realm. They are waiting for Bing Kui to arrive."
Seventy miles is not too far. Under normal circumstances, the Taoist priests can launch an attack from the camp. But the Taoist priests lacked magical weapons, and the unclean air in Bingcheng and Langyuan was much stronger than in other places, so the attack range was suddenly reduced to within ten miles.
"How many wolf demons are there?" Xin Youtao asked, trying not to show curiosity. In his heart, he actually felt that the appearance and character of this Virgin of Ten Thousand Sons were very weird, even weirder than many demons with teeth and claws.
"About two or three hundred of them. Visiting."
"So few?" Xin Youtao was a little surprised. He thought the wolf demons were a big tribe.
Yu Wang Fadong coughed and added politely: "There are more than 220 wolf demons in the family, and there are more than 1,000 demon soldiers and more than 2,000 demon slaves under them. It turns out there are more, and some have escaped."
"They killed some of my children." Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons said plainly. If she wanted to escape from Wolf Plains, she could only pass through Ice City, and she would have to sacrifice the descendants of Our Lady to the lake.
Xin Youtao made a rough calculation and said, "We have the advantage. This battle will be easy to win."
King Yu shook his head, "We are just afraid that the wolf monsters won't fight us. They have been operating in Baiyue Mountain for tens of thousands of years, and the deep holes they dug underground are like a maze. If they don't come out, it will be difficult for us to break in."
Mu Xingqiu had been looking north in the distance. Through the unclean air, he could only vaguely see the outline of Baiyue Mountain. It was not a high mountain. It was in the shape of a crescent lying across the northern end of Langyuan, like a dam blocking floods.
"I don't want to fight this war." Mu Xingqiu said that he came to Bingcheng just as a temporary measure and did not want to start a war lightly. If Bingkui was not an ally of the demon species, he would not even be interested in the next war. "Who can Bring me a message? I want to negotiate with the wolf demon."
"I can." King Yu volunteered, "I'm very familiar with the wolf demon clan. The current wolf king Qi Yemang is my best friend. I can't persuade him to surrender, but it's better to let him meet Dao Zun. No problem.”
"Dao Zun" is the title given to Mu Xingqiu by the Ice City Monster Clan. Yang Qingyin, who was standing aside, couldn't help but curled her lips when she heard it. Thinking of her title of Spirit King, she felt relieved again.
Xin Youtao suddenly remembered something, "Qi Wushang sent tens of thousands of demon soldiers to death in Xijie Kingdom, why didn't he take all the wolf demon clan with him?"
The Feather King, Black Phoenix and other demon clans all pretended not to hear this question. Only the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons said calmly: "Prepare a few more paths. This is the tradition of our demon clan. Of course, the Giant Demon King will not risk the entire family. This is also the reason why I sent my two children to the country of sacrifice when I went to the battlefield. "
Xin Youtao suddenly realized that the same thing happened to the demon clan under Yang Qingyin. Some always stayed and others left, trying not to let the entire tribe or family take risks together.
The demon clan is weak, and this is their way of survival. Xin Youtao nodded, not feeling it was excessive at all, because this was the same as the royal family's survival rules, although their "power" was not weak at all.
Bingkui's advance was very slow, and Bingcheng was not worried for the time being. King Yu led his two men to the Moon Worship Mountain immediately, and the other demon tribes returned to their headquarters. Xin Youtao slowly circled around the demon statue. After Zuo Liuying was still hiding in Jun's soul, he was particularly worried about the safety of the golem.
The bald man's voice came from above his head, "Don't worry, Prince Xin, as long as I'm here, no one can even think about attacking the golem!"
Xin Youtao smiled and walked away, just in time to see Xiao Qingtao flying back from Bingcheng, so he stood there waiting for her.
"Have you met Pei Zihan?"
Xiao Qingtao nodded, "He has changed a lot. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
"Why think so much? We have to get used to the life of mortals from now on and just think about the things in front of us." Xin Youtao only becomes determined when he looks at Xiao Qingtao, believing that his choice to leave home and go abroad is absolutely perfect. That's right, "By the way, let me guess, did Pei Zihan suggest you go back to Pangshan?"
"Prepare more roads so that the family can continue. This is a tradition." Xin Youtao said with a smile, "I'm going to see Mu Xingqiu, what about you?"
"I'm going to find Yang Qingyin. She lives alone in the Lingyao camp and needs my company. I don't know when she and Xiaoqiu will understand. Such smart people are confused about this matter."
"Let's work hard."
Xiao Qingtao blushed and turned to go to the Lingyao camp, which was a little lower.
The two were talking near the golem, forgetting that the golem had a pair of ears on its head. The bald man shouted at them loudly: "Count me in!"
Xin Youtao waved to the bald man without looking back and walked into Mu Xingqiu's tent.
Mu Xingqiu was not the only one in the tent. Xiaohao, the Gan brothers, Meng Xu were all there, and there were two Taoists. The seven people sat in a circle, suspended in the air two feet high, and were meditating. They opened their eyes when they heard the sound.
"What are you doing?" Xin Youtao asked. It was surprising that there were seven Taoists meditating together.
Xiaohao replied first: "Mu Xingqiu said that our Niwan Palaces are all small white rooms with little people floating inside. Only my Niwan Palace and his Niwan Palace have nothing. Isn't it strange?"
Xin Youtao had heard Mu Xingqiu talk about the situation in the Niwan Palace. He really couldn't help with this matter, but he was very curious, "Is there any result?"
Mu Xingqiu shook his head. He had been confused for a while. The little people in the Niwan Palace were obviously created when he was thinking in the ancestral tower. The Niwan Palace of the Gan brothers was destroyed by the method of re-destruction, and the human figures had disappeared. The human figures in the Niwan Palaces of several other Taoists were disappearing.
What puzzled everyone was, what was the use of the master-disciple human figures in the Niwan Palace? Why were Mu Xingqiu and Xiaohao different? The Niwan Palace was obviously complete, but empty? Especially Mu Xingqiu, he didn't even see the inner elixir given to him by the dragon demon in his own Niwan Palace.
No one could explain the reason, even Zuo Liuying, who had recovered his memory, knew nothing about it.
Since there was no conclusion yet, Xin Youtao didn't care about disturbing them, "Don't worry about Niwan Palace for now, let's discuss how to protect the golem."
"What's wrong? Ice City is always safer than on the road, right?" Gan Zhiwei said.
The seven Taoists all put down their legs and stood on the ground, looking at Xin Youtao.
"I'm not the only one who noticed it, those monsters are very jealous of the golem." Xin Youtao looked at Mu Xingqiu, and this was mainly said to him.
"Who isn't jealous? I am jealous too." Xiao Hao said with a smile, not understanding the meaning of Xin Youtao's words at all, "Although the golem is damaged, it is still quite majestic when wearing the silver soul armor."
"Go find the bald man, he is guarding the golem alone, and he is bored."
Xin Youtao sent Xiao Hao away, and said seriously: "The monsters are the monsters. A temporary fight side by side cannot eliminate the grievances of more than 100,000 years. They are much closer to the demons than to the Taoists. The Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons must be attracted to the golem. I can see it clearly. As soon as she saw the golem, she Just pinching his fingers. Why did Yu Wang Fadong volunteer to meet the wolf demon? I'm afraid it was not to mediate the negotiation, but to find helpers to rob the golem. The demon tribes of Hei Huang, Gao Fuwei, and Fei Zu have long harbored ill intentions. How could they sincerely recognize a Taoist priest as the Spirit King? "
Xin Youtao paused for a while, giving Mu Xingqiu and others time to think, and then continued: "Even the spirit demon is unreliable. They are grateful to Yi Shijun, and Yi Shijun is trapped in the golem. "
"They didn't dare to take action along the way, and they dare not now. "Gan Zhiwei said.
Xin Youtao smiled. The conspiracy was clearer to him than the unclean air everywhere. "I was not sure before, but after meeting this group of monsters today, I can guarantee that they are hiding something. Black Phoenix and Yu Wang are both old subordinates of Qi Wushang. They are like strangers when they meet. Isn't this strange? Black Phoenix rarely appeared before. Anyone who saw her would be a little curious, right? But Yu Wang didn't."
The other Taoists were silent. After a while, Meng Xu sighed, "It's hard to be quiet for a few days..."
Mu Xingqiu had to admit that Xin Youtao's observation was very detailed and the conclusion he drew was also reasonable. "From now on, everyone should guard the camp strictly and no one should go out."
The Taoists nodded, and Xin Youtao asked: "Where is Yang Qingyin?"
Yang Qingyin lived alone in the spirit monster camp and was the only Taoist left alone.
"Don't tell her yet." Mu Xingqiu knew that it was unlikely that Yang Qingyin would completely give up the demons under her command. "Let's hold our ground for now. If the demons dare to come and grab the golem, I want to see what Yi Shijun can do besides illusion."
Mu Xingqiu showed his confidence, and Xin Youtao and the others were relieved.
Xiao Hao rushed into the tent, his face full of excitement, "Haha, Zuo Liuying is out and wants to see all of us. Be prepared, he has changed a lot."
