Chapter 142 The Magic of Compilation

From Woling Pass to Xianling Lake, the road is more than 400 miles long. Lu Yao invited the Crocodile God to come here at the cost of dragon blood. Could it be that he was inviting the old man to see the scenery?

Needless to say, this guy is planning to join forces with the three armies. With the help of the Crocodile God, he probably wants to be a commander.

He Lingchuan asked again: "If I kill Lu Yao and get the dragon blood, can you also serve me?"

"No, the dragon blood is already here." The giant crocodile blinked, "But if you kill him, I can help you once for free."

"Ah, why are you so nice?" Can pie fall from the sky?

"He is not unrelated to Hong Xiangqian's death." The giant crocodile's vertical pupils turned to He Lingchuan, "Catch my tears. From now on, you will soak your tears in Xianling Lake and you can get my protection."

The tears in the corners of its eyes were about to flow to the ground, and He Lingchuan quickly took a crystal bottle to catch them.

Is this the crocodile's tears? Looking at the light, the teardrops are still slightly blue.

Just because the Crocodile God was so arrogant, he also corked the bottle tightly and hid it carefully.

"I still don't understand one thing."

"Go ahead." The Crocodile God was obviously impatient.

"Why did you leave the Northern Demon Kingdom and enter Dayuan?" Obviously, after leaving the Northern Kingdom, the giant crocodile went south all the way, first participated in the battle of Woling Pass that shocked the entire Yuan Kingdom, and then followed the waterway to Xianling Lake.

The land of Yuan Kingdom is crisscrossed with water networks, which are fast passages for giant crocodiles.

"This happened several years ago. The new emperor of the Northern Kingdom came to power and was not in harmony with my clan." The Crocodile God said coldly, "It's not just my clan that left."

"What are your plans for the future?"

The Crocodile God thought for a while: "Xianling Lake is good, I'll live here."

There are 800 miles of open water on the lake alone, and there are countless caves and secret passages underwater, and it is connected to many streams and rivers. The food is also quite rich. The Crocodile God is very satisfied with the geographical conditions here.

He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "Then do you want to consider catching a water spirit to be a ghost?"

"Like that turtle?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan laughed, "If you are a wild monster and love to eat people, the local area may not be able to accommodate you."

The crocodile god chuckled twice, obviously disdainful.

He Lingchuan tried his best to persuade: "Even if you are not afraid, they will not be soft on your children. In this case, you might as well take the position of the water spirit. Although you have to keep the water area safe in the future, you have the Yuanli allocated to you by the royal court, and you can also enjoy the regular offerings of humans. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

When the crocodile god heard the word "Yuanli", he was also a little tempted.

The combat power of the turtle monster was far behind it, but because of the Yuanli bonus of the water spirit, it fought for a whole night before being defeated. If I can also get the Yuanli bonus, it will be of great benefit to my future practice.

What's more, after the nearby residents built a temple and a plaque for it, they also had to regularly offer sacrifices to the water spirit and put a large number of live poultry and livestock into the lake.

Which monster doesn't want fresh food for free?

If you eat fish every day, you should change your taste occasionally.

The little crocodile demon beside him quickly swept it with his tail, signaling his mother to take it quickly.

The crocodile god only had one last question: "Can you do this kind of thing?"

"Yes!" He Lingchuan patted his chest and guaranteed, "As long as you help us kill Lu Yao, you will be a great contribution. I can ask Qiansong County Magistrate to write a letter to the local government to apply for you to be the water spirit of Xianling Lake. With such a powerful monster as a protector, the local officials will wake up with laughter in their dreams."

This world is originally shared by humans and monsters. It is normal for monsters to exist in the human country, just like humans exist in the monster country. For the big monsters that are particularly difficult or difficult to control, the best way for the authorities is to recruit them and ask them to be water spirits and gods.

Weighing the pros and cons, these big monsters with spiritual intelligence have nothing to be unhappy about. After all, they can get royal salary or enjoy tribute while managing their own territory, and humans enjoy peace, which is a win-win situation.

As for the monsters' previous records, whether they killed and ate people or caused floods to flood villages, they will not be punished. Compared with mountain bandits, the government is more willing to recruit monsters, because the latter are mostly straightforward, not so many tricks and not easy to suddenly turn against. Many monsters have been in the position of mountain and water spirit for one or two hundred years. In the middle of the change of dynasties, the new dynasty will soon recognize their position.

So the Crocodile God agreed without much hesitation.

After He Lingchuan got such a few powerful helpers, Wu Shaoyi and his men looked at him a little strangely.

To be honest, even the dragon blood that Lu Yao took out was not as impressive as the position of water spirit given by the government.

This is the power of organization.

Wu Shaoyi had a subordinate named Lian Deng, who rubbed his hands and said to He Lingchuan: "Brother He, we helped the soldiers to break the siege of Lu Yao, which meant bloodshed and sweat, and we might even lose manpower. You see, this seems to be... uh, not very good for us?"

He Lingchuan glanced at Wu Shaoyi and saw him standing aside in silence. He knew that he was in a complicated mood, so he said: "As long as you are a traitor, you will be hunted by the government. This is no different from Lu the thief."

The thieves all looked unhappy.

Since the defeat at Woling Pass, everyone knows that it is not easy for a dog to lose its home. Where is the future of this team? Even Wu Shaoyi is confused and dare not guarantee it.

He Lingchuan immediately said: "Unless you are willing to be recruited!"

Recruitment? Everyone looked at each other when they heard these two words, but they were not very disgusted in their hearts.

He Lingchuan did not need to look at others, as long as he paid attention to Wu Shaoyi. When he saw his expressionless face, he knew that this matter was promising.

These three bandits secretly gathered at Xianling Village, just to form a group and fight for a place to settle down in the future.

In fact, if you can't beat them, joining them is a way out. Even a wild monster like the Crocodile God is going to be incorporated into the army and eat public food. They are actually envious of it.

"Can you make the decision?" Wu Shaoyi looked deeply, "You are just a small official with the army, why?"

"Yes, because I am the eldest son of He Chunhua, the governor of Qiansong County!" He Lingchuan coughed a few times, knowing that it was time to reveal his identity. What's the use of empty words without evidence? Only status, once thrown out, can make people bleed from their noses, but they still have to smile. "My father went north to Xiazhou to serve as the general manager, and the troops he brought with him are his own direct line! Once you surrender, you will become the confidants of my He family, and you will be the veterans in the army in the future. In Xiazhou, won't you be able to enjoy a good life and show off your power?"

He knew that it was useless to talk about ideals and life with this group of fierce people. The most important thing was to give them some practical guarantees.

The eight words "enjoy a good life and show off your power" can summarize what most people want in their lives.

Sure enough, the bandits' eyes flickered, and they were all tempted.

Lian Deng rubbed the back of his head: "Wang Ting has done a lot of things that go back on his word. Even if General Wu surrenders, what if they..." They are volunteers, and they are naturally wary and suspicious of officers and soldiers.
