Deactivating the nine dragons chariot, Ji Hao silently landed in Yao Mountain City with tens of thousands of elite warriors.
The people in Yao Mountain City, who had been preparing for war, instantly sighed in relief. Ji Xia laughed out loud and walked over with a large group of people. He punched Ji Hao's chest for a few times with his wine-jar sized fists.
"Ji Hao is back! Hehe, you're thinner, but not so dark. Well, it's dark these years. I can't get a tan even if I want to! " Ji Xia grabbed Ji Hao's shoulders with both of his hands, carefully looking at Ji Hao's face. He quickly glanced at Man Man and Shaosi's lower abdomen, then abruptly gave a long sigh and said, "Eh, why did the few elderly people come back? I don't see any newbies! "
Old people? Newbies? Ji Hao's face turned dark. He grabbed Shermie's neck and threw him into Ji Xia's arms.
Shermie put his long and slim arms around Ji Xia. His eyes nearly popped out of his eye sockets as he stared at Ji Xia.
"Newbies? Who said we don't have newbies? This is Shermie, my disciple … Hmm, he's not simple. Perhaps, he's the strongest shrimp warrior in the world. Don't underestimate him. Among the water-kind spirit creatures under Gong Gong's command, over ninety percent are under his command. From now on, he'll be the chief commander of our Yao Mountain territory water-kind army. "
With a few words, Ji Hao told Ji Xia about Shermie. Hearing that Shermie was a spirit mantis crayfish, Ji Xia curiously stroked Shermie's bald head and said, "Hey, mantis mantis, hey, mantis mantis … You mean the mantis mantis in the corners of streams? Interesting, interesting. Such a small crayfish must have suffered a lot to grow into such a big man, right? "
Ji Xia was sincerely worried about Shermie. For some reason, Shermie felt a lump in his throat. He kowtowed to Ji Xia with all his heart. It had been so many years, when had anyone ever comforted Shermie like a kid?
Ji Hao was his Shifu, but in Ji Hao's heart, Shermie was nothing more than a talented, promising spirit creature. Ji Xia was the only one with 'fatherly love'. Apart from Ji Hao, he shared his love with Shermie.
Ji Hao quivered in cold sweat. He threw a sideway glance at Ji Xia, then led his people back to the main hall of Marquis Yao's mansion. In Yao Mountain territory, a large number of ministers and commanders, who were responsible for the people's livelihood and military affairs, sat on the ground. Naturally, maids had been serving tea to them.
In the crowd, Ji Hao suddenly saw his old friend.
Heng Luo's face was slightly red, and she was leaning on Stone's leg, still drunk. She was giggling at Ji Hao. Stone's body was emitting a strong smell of alcohol, and he was lying in a corner of the hall, sleeping soundly. In the courtyard outside the main hall, Old Mu had already comfortably planted his roots and was comfortably basking in the sun.
"Hehe, you're all here!" Ji Hao delightfully reached out his hand and greeted Heng Luo. Heng Luo, who was already drunk, giggled and raised her slim and beautiful middle finger towards Ji Hao.
Ji Hao rubbed his own nose and murmured to himself, 'These people don't learn the good things, but learn the bad things.'
Sitting on the left side of Ji Hao, Ji Xia carelessly waved his hand, laughed out loud and said, "These years, the flood has been making people panic. Therefore, Yao Mountain City raised a caravan and made tens of trips to Southern Wasteland, bringing over many Gold Crow Clan people and our brothers from clans that are friendly with us."
Pointing at Heng Luo and Stone, Ji Xia grinned and continued, "I know they're your old friends. They're almost moldy because of the flood, so they brought many of their clansmen to Yao Mountain territory with us."
Scratching his own head, Ji Xia continued in confusion, "The strange thing is, before, it took us one to two years to make a round trip to Southern Wasteland. But as time goes by, the speed of our people is getting faster and faster. The most recent caravan came back in less than three months! It seems that Southern Wasteland is getting closer and closer to Midland, isn't it? "
Ji Hao grinned. He told the 'All Streams to the Final Land' great formation designed by Si Wen Ming to all of his clansmen and ministers in the hall in detail. Hearing that because of the 'All Streams to the Final Land' great formation, the four wastelands were rapidly approaching Midland, people in the hall couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Many Gold Crow Clan people in the hall knew that the living conditions in Yao Mountain territory were hundreds of times better than those in Gold Crow Clan. But after all, Gold Black Mountain was the holy land of their ancestral temple, the origin of their clan. Therefore, they were still worried about Gold Black Mountain.
Now, the four wastelands were going to merge with Midland. This was great news. In the future, Yao Mountain people would be able to easily travel back and forth from Gold Black Mountain, wouldn't they?
Ji Hao had already released his spirit power. 'Did Heng Luo, Stone, Wood, and the others bring their clansmen to Yao Mountain territory?' Scanning across Yao Mountain City with his spirit power, Ji Hao found hundreds of mountain ghosts, thousands of stone golems, and tens of thousands of treemen.
Most of the stone golems had drunk some wine, and had found a quiet place to comfortably take a nap. Treemen had been stretching their roots in streets and alleys, happily bathing in the sunshine. Mountain ghosts were all beautifully dressed, walking between markets with all kinds of spirit beasts, laughing and bargaining with roadside peddlers, trying to buy some useless things in Ji Hao's eyes!
"Hehe, the nature of women will never change! Can mountain ghosts be counted as women? " Within one ten-thousandth of a second, Ji Hao pondered on this unsolvable question, then straightened his mind and put on a serious look.
Glancing around at the thousands of ministers in the hall, Ji Hao continued in a deep voice, "A fierce war will happen in our Yao Mountain territory in the future. Everyone, prepare for this war, which is a hundred times more serious than the flood. The non-humankind army outside the city is nothing but a vanguard sent by the enemy to test the power of our Yao Mountain territory. Have you found out who they are? "
Although human warriors were leading the way, it was obvious that the large-scale army outside the city belonged to a non-humankind army.
Judging from the number of commanders gathered in a flying fort, the non-humankind army outside the city was composed of at least a thousand different sized forces, and nearly a hundred of them were led by large forces.
Ji Hao was curious. Where did Gong Sun Bo and his people find such a motley crew? And the armaments of these people were not weak at all!
"It's a slave-hunting troop." A Gold Crow Clan elder, Ji Que, stood up. He was slim and nimble, good at hiding and tracking. He used to be the best hunter leader of Gold Crow Clan, and now, he was in charge of the scouting troop in Yao Mountain territory.
"A total of one thousand, four hundred and thirty-seven slave-hunting troops were persuaded to attack our Yao Mountain territory with a large sum of money." said Ji Que with a dark face. "These aren't regular non-humankind armies, but these slave-hunting troops are especially good at hiding, infiltrating, and fighting in small groups. In the past couple of days, our scouts have fought against them many times. Over three-thousand of our warriors have already died. "
Ji Hao's eye corners twitched. Yao Mountain territory lost over three-thousand warriors merely because of infiltrating and probing each other?
As he thought, this enormous army of slave-hunting troops came with unfriendly intentions.
