MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 399 demon and man

  But the residents there were looking forward to it, and they couldn't help cheering when they heard that the seeds of the precious tree were finally settling in the northern border.

  It seems that the border there is not very peaceful.

  Shi Erdao whispered: "Lingxu City's control over the Twilight Plain is generally not strict, and the forces of various countries are moving back and forth."

  At this time, Tang Xiangguo came out again to say some scene words. The most indispensable part of every birthday celebration is entertainment, so the open space in front of Baiyun Residence was quickly cleared, and a whole group of people began to perform juggling and illusions immediately.

  He Lingchuan only paid attention to the whereabouts of the treasure tree seeds, and saw that it was packed in a brocade box, and Tang Guoxiang finally took it away.

   That is to say, he had to try to get the seeds from Tang Guoxiang.

   This difficulty is really not ordinary.

  The performances on Baiyun Mountain will last for three days and three nights. Of course the people are happy, but the officials and missions will leave first.

I don't know how Master Shi Er got the news, and he came back to He Lingchuan in a while and said: "Good news, good news, the team escorting the mission to the northern border is getting ready and will leave in an hour. They will also **** Spirit Seed, it would be best for us to follow!"

  He Lingchuan smiled.

  Beja’s trade routes are usually relatively safe, but it’s only been a few days since Emperor Liuzhi passed by, so it’s still a bit dangerous for foreign caravans. This **** team is the elite sent by Fufeng City. With them clearing the way, the caravan will be much safer on their way.

  It's like refugees who like to follow behind the noble team when they move. The strong open the way ahead, and they also have a guarantee of safety.

  Baiyun Mountain is in the northern outskirts of Fufeng City, and the Spirit Seed Guards will set off directly from here after they are assembled.

  Several clever caravans followed immediately.

  Shimen caravan has long been willing to be one of them, and the same team is one of them.

   Before leaving this huge crater, He Lingchuan looked back one last time, and was impressed by Gu Luoshu's stalwart figure.

   A tree ruling a kingdom, he could never have imagined before.

  Yao Kingdom is really a magical place.

   At this moment, the black cat said goodbye to him.

  I have seen enough excitement today, and this employer is also quite generous, giving enough silver taels and dried fish, but now it has to go back to take care of the baby.

   "Take the child and go with us, the caravan always encounters mice." It turned out that Master Shi Er suggested to it, "Eat and drink enough."

  The black cat was a little moved, and then rejected him: "No way. It is easy to find a job in Fufeng City, and my child must grow up in a big city. Who wants to live with you?"

   "You heartless woman." He Lingchuan couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to it, "It's a pleasant cooperation, thank you."

  The cat extended its mangosteen-like front paws to give him a high-five, then jumped off the sheep's back and left without hesitation.

  He Lingchuan saw that it was looking for other human beings again. She was a seven or eight-year-old girl, and she even rubbed her hands and acted like a baby, probably because she wanted to take a ride back to Fufeng City...

   At this time, another acquaintance followed behind:

  Xu Dongdong.

   This guy is also the guard of the Taifu Mansion who followed He Lingchuan out of the mirror world, and has been performing other tasks for the past few days.

  He said to He Lingchuan: "Young Master Sha knows that you are leaving soon, let me **** you for a ride. Brother Ang can't get away from Taifu, let me say goodbye for him."

  He Lingchuan thanked, and then asked: "Has Fushan been arrested?"

"Not yet, this guy is very powerful, and he can run faster than a rabbit, so he slipped away if there was a sign of trouble." Xu Dongdong whispered, "But we caught his two companions, and we only found out the real name of their leader after torture. It's called Fu Shan Yue."

   "This group of people are mercenaries. They kill people, sell goods and fight wars for the rich. They do everything. This time they received a mission to ambush Bai Zhu, the emissary of the Yamaba Kingdom."

  「Is that the white python?」

"Yes." Xu Dongdong scratched his head, "When they collected the emperor's liquid in Sanxinyuan, they mistakenly killed the deputy envoy of Haoling Kingdom as Baizhu. The task was not completed, so they changed their plan and planned to go to Baizhu Do it after leaving Fufeng City. As for who the employer is, only Fu Shanyue knows,

  These subordinates only obey orders. "

  「Where did Fushan Yue come from?」

   "Uh, I don't know." Xu Dongdong sighed, "I just heard these two sentences, and I haven't written anything yet, so I was sent to look for you."

   Dare to be emotional or delay him from listening to gossip? He Lingchuan coughed:

  「This messenger already knows that he is on the death list?」

   "We have already informed it." Xu Dongdong said, "we will also send more people to protect it, all the way to the border. I hope it will be safe and sound along the way." Don't lose the reputation of the treasure tree king.

  He Lingchuan hummed: "A messenger who is giving gifts, what is the need to attack? You also have to risk offending King Baoshu."

   "How would I know?" Xu Dongdong shrugged, "Sometimes these monsters get reckless and don't make sense at all. Shanyu's country is in turmoil, and I heard that the imperial army is retreating steadily. Maybe their opponents sent people to assassinate them this time."

   "The spiritual seed, as long as it is planted in the soil, it can grow into a border guard?"

"Almost." Xu Dongdong said with a chuckle, "I'm not too clear about the specifics. My king avatar is much more powerful than Shanze. Where there is it, there is no need to appoint Shanze. It's just that the spirit seed is not easy to produce. It’s said that it takes thirty or forty years to conceive one.”

   "Then there are at most 20 Guluo clone guards in the entire Treasure Tree Kingdom?" What a simple arithmetic problem.

   "Uh." Xu Dongdong felt that he had made a slip of the tongue. How can this kind of thing be known to outsiders?

He Lingchuan observed the colors and knew that it was not good to talk about it, so he changed the subject: "Are the spirit guards temporarily built? I think they are all human beings, and the mounts are just ordinary horses. At most, there are more than a dozen wolf demons accompanying the team." , it seems..."

   It doesn't seem too grand.

  Shi Erdao interjected: "I thought Fufeng City would send an army of monsters to **** the spirit species to the north."

  Xu Dongdong laughed: "It sounds very majestic, doesn't it?"

"you do not say?"

"When the king's flag is raised, how can there be robbers who don't have eyes?" Xu Dongdong said, "Besides, how much food does the army of monsters eat? How can the post stations and towns along the way afford it? Horses are the best, with a stable temper, It has great stamina and eats grass."

  He Lingchuan laughed: "It is indeed an economic account."

  Monsters like tigers and wolves are big eaters. They have to eat meat when they go out. Each head can eat dozens of catties a day. What kind of logistics can afford it? Even herbivorous monsters eat several times more than ordinary horses.

  After all the calculations, riding a horse is the easiest way.

  Of course He Lingchuan understands that this is also because Fufeng City is a bit far from the northern border, otherwise it would not be a big deal to send a guard of monsters there.

  Furthermore, it is the self-confidence of King Baoshu: Who dares to rob Master Wang on his territory?

  He Lingchuan made another discovery: Even in the country of Beijia, the number of monsters is not as many as he imagined.

   Still taking Fufeng City as an example, after many days of observation, the ratio of monsters to humans is less than one to ten. Even in the capital city of the Treasure Tree Kingdom where many monsters gather, human beings are still outnumbered.

  Not to mention the villages and towns he passed along the way, the number of human beings is at least thirty times that of monsters. He has been to the most extreme town with more than 600 permanent residents, but it is said that there are only three monsters.

  Here we need to distinguish a concept: beasts and monsters are two different things.

  In the army of General Zhao Pan of the Yuan Kingdom, there was a Brute Bull Charge Squad led by the Brute Bull Demon. He Lingchuan almost experienced its power at that time. But strictly speaking, out of the 300 cows in this group, there are only seven cow monsters, and they are generally bigger and stronger, very recognizable, while the rest are ordinary bulls.

  In addition, most members of the rock wolf clan are also ordinary rock wolves, only Lu Xin from He Lingchuan and Dahei from He Yue can really be called demon wolves.

   Zhu Erniang's descendants easily exceed 20,000 to 30,000, but the number of elite spider guards who have become demons is less than 180. When He Lingchuan was bored in the Devil's Nest Swamp, he once counted them with his own hands.

   With so many spider guards, it can occupy the best territory in the Devil's Nest Swamp, and other big monsters can only hold back

   Swallow.

  When He Lingchuan communicated with Xu Dongdong about this, he laughed loudly: "How can monsters compare with humans in terms of numbers?"

"I thought Bega was a demon country, and monsters could dominate the mainstream." He Lingchuan listened to plays and read scripts in Yuan Kingdom, and said that the northern demon country is full of monsters. awful.

   As a result, I came here to see it with my own eyes, huh, huh.

   "The demon kings are noble, and Bega has no shortage of powerful monsters. But without humans, how can such a huge empire be maintained?"

  Shi Erdang also laughed and said, "Except for human beings, who can manage and produce?"

  He Lingchuan thought so too. Those who are good at farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing like Zhu Erniang are already outliers among monsters.

  Most monsters obey their nature and are free and undisciplined. They are not as careful as humans, and it is difficult to work in groups like humans day after day.

  If production and management are not dominated by people, there will be no grain growing in the fields, no one will mine the mines, and business will not be able to continue at all. Where does wealth come from?

At this time, the protective mirror intervened again: "The aura of heaven and earth is weakened, which is the main reason why the number of monsters is not long. In the early days of the Middle Ages, monsters roamed everywhere. If you shoot an arrow in the wild, the one you hit may be a rabbit monster." But people are different... No matter how thin the aura of heaven and earth is, people are still people and will not become monkeys."

   It is precisely because the Yaozu are weak that they want to form a group. In the ancient and middle ages, demons and immortals were rampant, each occupying the south, the north and the north as the overlord. How can there be a demon country like Beja?

   After all, it is nothing more than a product of the current situation.

   That night, the team lodged in a small town next to the official road.

  The **** team is about 300 people, and the caravan behind is more than a thousand. Even the carts and horses carry goods, a town can't hold it at all.

   Fortunately, there is a second town five miles away, and the Shimen caravan settled there.

  Other businessmen came over to chat, and He Lingchuan heard a message:

   "In fact, there are not only guards resting in the town, but also three foreign missions, which seem to be from the Suluo Kingdom, Chiyan Kingdom, and Baixiang Kingdom. The guards invited them to live with me."
