Chapter 8 A Chance Encounter
Looking at the second demon's salivating appearance, Liu Chou smiled and cut off the two pig's trotters and handed them over, saying, "Here, this place should be familiar, so fill it for you and others first."
The two monsters were overjoyed and rushed over and stuffed them into their mouths. With the sound of bone shattering, the two monsters instantly chewed the pig legs into pieces and swallowed them into their stomachs. But the next moment, Jiutou's eyes lit up, while Xiong Shan opened his mouth in panic, rushed to the door to grab the snow, stuffed it into his mouth, panting heavily, and his saliva could not stop flowing down.
"The mouth... is so painful... so painful..." While eating snow, Xiong Shan shouted desperately, "Master, is this pig... poisonous..."
Before Xiong Shan finished shouting, he heard a thud. Looking back, Jiutou was already laughing to the ground, laughing loudly, even tears were about to burst into laughter: "Silly guy! The first time I ate dogwood, I didn't know how to taste it... Oh, I laughed so hard... It's poisonous! I dare to say it's poisonous..."
Seeing this, Xiong Shan finally realized that the taste was the seasoning of the king on the pork meat...
At this time, the stinging pain had been relieved a lot. A stream of heat rose from the abdomen, and a little sweat began to appear on the head. The chill caused by the wind and snow disappeared without a trace. Looking back on the smell just now, it made people feel a little reluctant, as if there was a different pleasure that had never been experienced before. Looking at Liu Chou and Jiu Tou, Xiong Shan also smiled loudly, revealing his white teeth, and laughed embarrassedly!
But it had just started laughing, but Liu Chou suddenly became stunned: "Car Crush? In this weather, there are still a large group of cars and horses on the way?"
"Carriage?" Jiutou was also stunned and walked to the door in an instant and looked out. But he saw snow covering the sky, and only a vague firelight was shaking in that far away place, and gradually came towards this place. Although he saw the firelight, it was still at least half an hour to arrive.
Those men were the convoys led by Gurbo.
After a day of arduous trek in the wind and snow, the carriages and horses only traveled dozens of miles, and the snow became thicker. The carriages and horses were almost impossible to move in the knee-deep snow. They could only move slowly by dragging, pushing and pulling the little demon. Although it was only a few dozen miles, it was even more tired than two hundred miles in the past. Even though it was a transformed little demon, it was already exhausted and almost collapsed.
"Elder, you can rest at the temple in front of you. It's too late today, so why don't we just stop here?" The guards came to Guerbo's car from the wind and snow, and said: "The young people can't hold on anymore. They must go into the water and slowly, otherwise they won't be able to leave tomorrow."
Guerbo looked at the snow like goose feathers in the sky and looked at the sky. Although he had only walked 50% of the journey today, the little demon was really tired. Even if he tried his best, he would be unable to continue. He had no choice but to shake his head and said, "That's all, I told the young people in the clan that when they arrived at the temple, they would build a pool of snow. Everyone took turns to rest and recover their strength. They are leaving tomorrow."
When the group of little demons heard the clan leader's words, they all showed joy on their faces. They finally had to rest for half a day. The most important thing was that they could finally soak in the water. If they were toasted, they would probably turn into dried fish.
After more than half an hour, the carriage and horses finally arrived at the temple, but the firelight from the temple surprised the guards who went to explore the way. Through the hole, they saw three ferocious monsters sitting inside. The guards hurried to report to Guerbo. He thought for a moment and rushed to the temple to confirm the demonic aura on the three demons, and he felt at ease.
After thinking for a moment, Guerbo walked into the temple openly and bowed to the three demons: "Three cave masters are polite! The old man, Guerbo, took the young men to Bibo Country to pay grain. When he encountered wind and snow, he would disturb him all night!"
Liu Chou and the other three stood up, laughed and said, "There is no owner here, and anyone can rest. It is impossible to disturb or not. If the father-in-law doesn't mind, please give in."
Gurpo laughed: "You are polite to the three cave owners, that little old man is not polite - children, give the king a bag of our own wine, thank you for your good wishes."
The guard immediately took a skin bag from the car and sent it to Liu Chou and other demons. It was indeed wine. However, this wine made from moss and algae was extremely bad. Not only was the low-grade wine, the taste was extremely poor, but Liu Chou didn't mind it. Instead, he smiled and said, "My father has wine, and I have hot food, so why not come and sit, drink and eat meat together, wouldn't it be nice?"
Gurbo hesitated a little, but immediately accepted it with a smile: "Excellent! Thank you, the master of the cave!"
Gurbo sat down at the crater, but the other little monsters immediately began to dig out the snow pile not far outside the temple. They quickly dug open it, revealing a frozen ice surface. Then they started to smash the ice layer together, revealing a pool of water below.
This is the well of the demon clan, but for the water clan, it is also a guest house for rest and rest. When seeing the water sees the appearance, many little demons cheer and jump in, turning into fish, swimming happily in the water.
As for Guerbo, he relied on his cultivation to sit with Liu Chou and others, drinking and eating meat. Although the wine is crude, it may be much more comfortable to drink a few sips in the cold winter. In addition, the spicy roasted piglets penetrated into his stomach and became hot instantly.
Gurbo is worthy of traveling to the Zhou Dynasty and is not unfamiliar with dogwood. Being able to eat this taste in Xizhou made him interested in the origin of the Three Demons: "The three cave masters are familiar with the human race's barbecue method and have such seasonings. I guess they have returned from the human race, right?"
Jiutou and Xiong Shan naturally would not answer this kind of question and answer. He gave it to Liu Chou. He nodded naturally and said, "Yes, we are... Alas, we are just defeated, so we have only come back just now."
"The three cave masters followed the king to fight?" Guerbo was shocked. Although he had heard of the failure of the army, he had never seen the defeated soldiers with his own eyes. He immediately became more energetic when he heard Liu Chou say this and said hurriedly: "The old man also heard some rumors, saying... It was said that my Bibo Kingdom army suffered heavy losses and was almost completely gone. I wonder what the truth is?"
"What my father-in-law said is true. Not only the Bibo Kingdom, but 70% of the soldiers of the four major countries died. One ten people who can come back are not allowed to stay," Liu Chou sighed, and said, "Not only does the entire Nanzhan Continent have been recovered by the human race, but there is even the remaining energy to attack our Xizhou. The borders are empty and cannot be fought."
"No wonder, no wonder the king wants to collect grain again. I guess he wants to raise troops," Guerbo sighed with Liu Chou and said, "I have lost the battle before, and our lives are not easy. The children in the clan have almost all lost them. In the future, I am afraid that even the old bones of us will be raised."
"That's impossible. If you don't send someone to guard it, will it be difficult to give up half of the state to the human race?" Liu Chou said: "But this seems fine, at least there are still people, unlike the east side that have been abandoned and allowed the human race to enter."
"Are you going to see a trace? I'm afraid there will be no more..." Guerbo smiled bitterly and said, "If we really die, then it's the first step. Then we should be recruiting soldiers. Our demon clan is not prosperous. How many more can we recruit another group of people? "
"This matter can only be taken one step, one step..." Liu Chou said this, looked at the big cart outside, and said, "Is the food recruited on the cart outside this time?"
"It is the old man responsible for escorting it to Heishui River in Hengyangyu. The king of the country will collect it." Liu Chou's random food was brought to the heart of Guerbo. He couldn't help but sigh: "This collection of food has drained everything in our tribe. I don't know if there are any more in the future. How many children and grandchildren will starve to death in this winter... I just hope that the king can be kind, and only this time, so that some young people in our tribe can survive this winter. It's good to survive."
Liu Chou rushed here because he heard the name of Shiqi Mountain, so he came to check it out. But he unexpectedly heard the news and felt aroused in his heart, so he said by the way: "I heard that Shiqi Mountain is sparsely populated in a radius of hundreds of miles and has few races, so there should be no shortage of food and grass? How can you get these food and grass so that you will starve to death?"
"Master of the cave, you don't know this!" Hearing Liu Chou say this, Gurbo immediately burst into pain and said hurriedly: "Yes, there is no trace of people in our Shiqi Mountain. It is mainly because the mountain is covered with black water, and it is almost dead. So almost no one rushed in. Those who barely live here are all outside the mountain and dare not enter. How much food and grass can be hunted there? To be sure, the food and grass collected this time are all the things we produce from the water. Now that our family has been hollowed out, I don't know how to survive!"
"Oh? Black Water?" Liu Chou's eyes lit up immediately. What Guerbo said was exactly the same as the news he heard, which made Liu Chou feel very happy. The reason why he came here was because the Black Water, which the demon clan could avoid, could confirm that he was naturally overjoyed: "How is it? Do you remember it?"
Liu Chou's question was a little strange. Guerbo was surprised, but he did not dare to disobey. He had already seen that although the three demons looked the weakest, the other two demons obviously took him as the leader. Obviously, the monkey was not as simple as it looked, so he honestly described the shape of black water, which was a kind of thing similar to wax oil, but was more viscous and harder than wax oil.
Liu Chou knew that these should be asphalt overflowing from the surface. If there is asphalt, it means that overflowing crude oil can be found in the mountains, which is the same thing as the Hei Shui Lake. In this way, it is possible to make a large-scale firearm.
In this era, the most commonly used objects in war are water and fire. If you want to gain a foothold in the territory of the demon clan, the sharpest weapon is this, and fire is the easiest to control. Being able to find the source of crude oil is the basis for large-scale weapons in the future.
The mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles have abundant crude oil production areas. How can it not be suitable to establish a foundation in this way?
But with the current situation, there are still a lot of things to be needed. At least we have to support these hundreds of little monsters. Food and grass are always indispensable?
Listening to Gulbo's words, Liu Chou glanced at the dozens of carriages and horses filled with jerky outside. He suddenly had an idea in his mind. He suddenly had a smile on his face and said to Gulbo:
Chapter completed!
