Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 168 Start taking action

Not only that, Gong Tianwu actually met someone from the Yuan family at the conference! But it was normal to think about it. The Yuan family's ambition for Mujiang City had never disappeared, and they even paid a high price to obtain the qualification to build a separate courtyard here.

Now that the opportunity has come, the Yuan family must seize it in time.

Moreover, for the Yuan family, although Yuan Hong's clone was destroyed and his strength declined greatly, the mayor of Mujiang City also died. As a result, the chance of getting involved in Mujiang City became even greater.

Of course, at this critical juncture, after the Yuan family saw Gong Tianwu and Xiang Liuman's people, they did not cause any trouble and just treated the other party as transparent air.

Soon, the young city lord came to the hall and said tiredly:

"We have already reached a blood oath with the beast disaster leader below. In the next ten days, the other party will not lead the attack. With their cooperation with their direct lineage, the sporadic attacks of the beast disaster will not pose much threat to Mujiang City."

"But this means that we only have ten days to eliminate the demons. We must race against time."

Having said that, the young city lord waved his hand, and immediately hundreds of streams of light flew out and rushed towards everyone present.

Gong Tianwu was of course no exception. When the light flew in front of each person, it stopped. Gong Tianwu grabbed it and found that it was a jade slip.

Then he probed his spiritual consciousness into it and found that a large amount of information was being transmitted out.

Gong Tianwu read it carefully for a while and found that the young city lord's action this time was not hasty, but was planned in great detail. The number of participants was also allocated and responsibilities were confirmed in a timely manner.

The operation was named "Demon Slaying" and the participants were divided into three groups: A, B and C.

Take Gong Tianwu for example, he was directly assigned to Group B and worked together with Hua Manlou and others.

Also participating are the elephant demon who will bring innovation and the bear demon who will kill everyone.

It can be seen that the grouping this time also took into account the usual interpersonal relationships, and the members of the group all have relatively good relationships with each other.

At the same time, the information in the jade slip also gave a very detailed introduction to the target to be dealt with this time: Moba.

First of all, the area where Moba is located is called Jianpo Ridge, because there is a huge hole on a cliff here, with a diameter of more than ten feet and a length of more than two hundred feet.

Moreover, the giant holes are all round in shape, and they go straight through the cliff to the other side. Every day, the sunlight shines through the big hole, which is a spectacular sight.

The local villagers said that it was such a miraculous sight that it was an arrow driven by a god that pierced through the mountain and broke out of it, hence the name.

The origin of this demon is not small either. It should come from the great demon catastrophe that occurred more than 700 years ago.

At that time, both the Taoists and mortals were killed and wounded. One Axun demon was seriously injured, and then he felt exhausted and looked for a place to heal his wounds.

It turned out that this guy was poisoned by a special kind of Heavenly Corpse Gu poison. The characteristic of this poison is that the more you try to expel it, the more it will explode, struggle madly, and reproduce.

This characteristic is somewhat similar to that of leeches and ticks (which have already bitten their prey).

Therefore, if this Axun demon did not recover from his wounds, it would be fine. With the demon's tenacious vitality, it could live another ten or eight years without any problem. But after recovering from his wounds, his life was accelerated.

In this situation, the island owner of Xiankong Island who was pursuing thought he would face a tough battle, but ended up picking up a ready-made advantage.

In a hurry, the island owner threw his body into the nearby stream, then destroyed the nearby mountain to fill up the stream, and then left.

The reason why the island owner wants to do this is very simple:
The corpses of the demons are extremely polluting. Mortals, ordinary beasts, and even insects that come into contact with them will mutate and turn into demon slaves, spreading endless poison.

As a result, the master of Xiankong Island was ambushed by another demon on his way back and suffered severe injuries. After escaping, he died suddenly without even being able to explain the important matters of the sect. Therefore, his matter of dealing with this demon was neglected.

As time went by, this series of events were almost completely covered up, but in the end they were learned from the spirit of the magic weapon carried by the owner of Xiankong Island.

At this time, the body of the demon had been buried for more than seventy years. Someone went to check it carefully and confirmed that there was nothing unusual in the filled-up mountain stream, so they let the matter go.

But no one could have expected that more than six hundred years later, this demon corpse could still stir up trouble and become a demon to harm the world again.

To be honest, Gong Tianwu also admired the people of Mujiang City very much. They actually managed to investigate such a secret that happened more than 600 years ago.

Needless to say, this must be the work of the city lord Bai Ze, who is indeed a spiritual beast that knows everything in the world.

However, according to Gong Tianwu's inference, at this time, at least two-fifths of the entire wilderness was caught in a severe drought, spanning the territory to hundreds of thousands of miles.

Gong Tianwu felt that it was a bit exaggerated that a mere demon could cause such a large-scale disaster. There might even be a lot of secrets hidden in it, but he couldn't understand it because he got too little intelligence information.

Perhaps Bai Ze, the wise city lord, could understand it, but he died.

At present, the only thing Gong Tianwu can be sure of is that in addition to the demon Ba in front of him, there is also a hidden enemy called Tiannv Ba.

Because according to Kang's hint in his previous life, Hua Manlou died because he tried to prevent it from being born.

This time, Group B, which Gong Tianwu was in, was traveling on a magical brocade handkerchief, which, when unfolded, was as wide as a medium-sized ship.

This thing was most likely borrowed from Mujiang City, and probably from a banshee or a female cultivator, because this brocade magic weapon is pink in color, with gauze fluttering around it, and bursts of fragrance emanating from it from time to time.

The key point is that this fragrance is not the cool and refreshing fragrance of wintersweet and chrysanthemum (plants), but a kind of impetuous scent of powder.

Just think about it, pink, gauze, and the scent of powder, these key points all cleverly hit the excitement points of men.

But putting these situations aside, the riding experience of this magic weapon is still very good. You can hardly feel the strong wind blowing from the sky, and even the temperature is kept at a comfortable level.

The person in charge of Group B's affairs was not Hua Manlou, but the elephant demon general Gengshi. After flying for almost half a day, he suddenly said in a deep voice:
"Everyone be careful, the destination is ahead, we are about to descend."

As he finished his words, the entire brocade magic weapon began to slide rapidly downwards. If a person was in poor health, he would feel dizzy at this time.

The surrounding fog and clouds began to come towards him. At this time, Gong Tianwu was shocked when he saw the scene below.

It turned out that a huge camp suddenly appeared on a hill not far away!

The camp was in a mess and not very orderly. The flags flying in the camp were of various kinds and looked like children's graffiti.

However, there were at least several thousand soldiers in the camp, and they all looked murderous, and it was also an obviously well-trained demon army! !

After witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu couldn't help but whisper to Hua Shilang beside him:
"Mujiang City is really amazing. In such a desperate situation, they still managed to deploy such a force." Hua Shilang sighed and smiled bitterly:

"What's the point? In this situation, no matter how strong the demon army is, what can it do?"

Gong Tianwu was just about to say that with them around, Mujiang City would be impregnable, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it could be defended now.

Mujiang City’s enemies now are drought, hunger, and running out of supplies!!

If these demon troops had been in Mujiang City from the beginning, they would have breached the city even faster, because with the addition of these people, the food and other things in the city would definitely be consumed faster and become scarce.

As the altitude continued to drop, Gong Tianwu realized that the camp was divided into two parts, east and west.

The demon army is stationed in the east, while the camp in the west is smaller but appears particularly neat. A large black dragon flag is fluttering in the air, and there are human soldiers conducting drills inside. The soldiers inside are all wearing heavy armor, and look murderous.

Looking at the strength of these human soldiers, the weakest one is actually at the martial artist level.

At this time, seeing the doubtful look from Gong Tianwu, Hua Shilang said:

"Look, we can all be friends with you. The Demon Slayer is also friends with the ruler of Shen Wanguo here."

"More importantly, the drought caused by this demon is not just covering Xiongbian Mountain. The drought is also spreading across thousands of miles in Shenwang Country, and the people are living in misery."

"Two years ago, the victims who could not survive the disaster revolted and started a riot. In the end, they were completely suppressed. The number of casualties and people fleeing the famine reached millions. Shen Wanguo was also severely damaged by this."

"So, as long as Shen Wanguo doesn't want to be destroyed, he will come to participate as long as he can tell the difference in strength. Of course, there will be no way for the two sides to cooperate in the action."

Gong Tianwu nodded and said:
"I see. This damn demon is really abominable."

The two of them talked and chatted, and soon they landed on the ground. They had not felt it when they were flying in the sky, but now after landing, they could feel the scorching sun. The sunlight falling on the skin felt like fire, which was really unbearable.

It's really thanks to the human soldiers' strong endurance that they can grit their teeth and persist in training under such circumstances.

At this time, a demon king next to him said:

"The place you chose to camp is a bit ridiculous, it's on a high slope. It's shaped like a turtle's back. You have to bear the sun and wind all over. There's not even any shade or shelter around!"

Gong Tianwu also knew this demon king. He was a member of the Jinwu Barbarians and his name was Luanyu.

Several years ago, the King of the Jinwu Barbarians, Qi, became infatuated with the Ice Valley Wine sold by Gong Tianwu. As the saying goes, what the leader likes, the subordinates will follow, and even the top leaders of the entire Jinwu Barbarians began to pursue this thing.

In addition, Gong Tianwu always brings his spider-spirit concubine around town, which at least shows that he has no discrimination or contempt for monsters, so Gong Tianwu has a good relationship with Jinwuman.

After hearing Luan Yu's words, Gong Tianwu looked around carefully and found that it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart that this guy actually knows a little bit about military tactics?

As a result, Hua Manlou lowered his voice and said:
"To be honest, the only reason we set up camp here is because there is a spring here."

After hearing this, Luan Yu suddenly realized:
"No wonder."

Seeing a group of big guys coming at this time, all the high-level officials stationed here came to greet them, and even the human race was no exception.

The human general was called Cui Huai. He looked very dark and thin, but his temperament was strong and profound.

When he greeted Gong Tianwu, he was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at him twice more.

Gong Tianwu smiled and said:

"Does the General think I'm too young?"

Cui Huai said hurriedly and nervously:

"Don't dare."

Gong Tianwu laughed and said:

"Because I am young! I am Ming Yuzi from Daxueshan. I am honored to meet you."

After being promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage, Gong Tianwu had the right to choose a name for himself. He originally wanted to call himself Zhen Yuzi, but he felt that it was too obvious and would be easily recognized by the Xutong Organization, so he just gave it the name with the word "Yu".

After hearing this, Cui Huai's eyes suddenly brightened and he said:

"You are from the Great Snow Mountain in Western Xinjiang?"

Gong Tianwu said:

"That's right. I have a deep connection with the Hua family in Mujiang City. So even though I am a human, I have come from afar to kill this demon and save the lives of these people from the water and fire."

The word "human race" in Gong Tianwu's words was of course meant for Cui Huai to hear.

The subtext is actually very simple. We are all human beings. In this place where monsters gather, if you know what's good for you, it's not impossible for me to protect you.

Gong Tianwu is a low-key person, but this time he came with the intention of "definitely killing Moba", so he was already prepared to fight for the right to speak in this small team. This is also related to his own strong desire for control.

There are skills to fighting for power, and going against others everywhere and causing the team to split is the lowest behavior.

The most clever method is to be so kind as to make the leadership unable to ignore you and voluntarily hand over power to you.

What Gong Tianwu said to Cui Huai at this time was actually an attempt to expand his own strength, and Cui Huai was obviously sensible.

As the saying goes: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. If I can have a powerful person from the same race to protect me, I will definitely be able to get closer to him emotionally.

The two of them then started chatting, and when the other demon cultivators saw this, some did not have any ulterior motives, while others just expressed their feelings, but there was no sign of jealousy.

After all, this is just like Hua Manlou adopting a Roaring Sky Dog as a pet. That is a definite bloodline advantage that others cannot learn.
