In March, the Eastern Wasteland Mountain Range's snow had yet to melt. The spring wind blowing from the north was bone-chilling, without a trace of warmth.
The coldness of winter was fading, and the vitality of spring was quietly flourishing amidst the cold. It was the season where the temperature changed from warm to cold, and the huge temperature difference between morning and night was too much for Zhu Gangbin to bear.
Zhu Gangbin heavily snorted, spraying out the green snot from his long nose.
Although he was at the Heaven Rank and had thick skin, he still could not bear the cold weather of the Eastern Wasteland Mountain Range. The Pig Demons loved warm and humid places, and this was the first time he had seen endless snow and ice in his life.
After the initial novelty, Zhu Gangbin started to hate this world of ice and snow. But as the commander of this frontline army, he did not dare to be lazy.
Now that the army had penetrated deep into the Eastern Wasteland Mountain Range, the Saint-rank Demon King Purple Heart Lotus was personally the commander, and the army of over two billion soldiers would be stationed here for a long time to build a huge, permanent city.
Zhu Gangbin led a million Green Demons to excavate huge rocks on this mountain to provide enough stone for the construction of the city.
This was hard work, and there was no profit to be made, and it was extremely boring. Zhu Gangbin had never been popular among the Pig Demons, and although he had cultivated to the 8th Rank, he could only obtain this position.
Zhu Gangbin was naturally very unwilling, but he did not dare to disobey. Every day, he could only lead a group of Pig Demon guards to patrol the area. If they were displeased, they would be killed on the spot.
The Green Demons were the weakest race in the Demon Realm. They were lazy, filthy, and incompetent. To other Demons, the Green Demons were equivalent to walking food.
A million Green Demons, no matter how cruelly they were driven, could not do much work in a day. The Pig Demons were also used to this kind of efficiency, and they executed at least a few hundred Green Demons every day. Including those who died from cold, hunger, and sickness, at least a few thousand Green Demons died every day.
The dead Green Devils would be divided up as food on the spot. Even the Green Demons were used to eating their own kind.
However, Zhu Gangbin did not like to eat these green-skinned fellows, they tasted terrible. He would often think of the days when he followed Shura Of Gojoseon. Oh, he was called Gao Zhengyang now. During that period of time, although he was often beaten up by Gao Zhengyang, he could occasionally eat some of his food.
The taste was indeed wonderful. In comparison, those green-skinned fellows and cured meat were no different from dogs and feces. He had also learned some very special tastes from Gao Zhengyang, such as clothing, personal hygiene, and so on.
Some habits, once formed, were hard to get rid of. Moreover, Zhu Gangbin felt that these habits were very high-end. They were probably of the same level and realm as the Royal Family and the Demon King. His clansmen found it hard to understand his actions.
Every time this happened, Zhu Gangbin would feel a sense of superiority, looking down on the filthy and stupid clansmen around him.
Zhu Gangbin couldn't help but touch the burn marks on his face as he recalled the past. Patches of irregular charred scars occupied his face. Every time he looked into the mirror, Zhu Gangbin couldn't bear to look at himself.
In fact, there were large burn scars on his back as well.
Zhu Gangbin attaches great importance to his appearance. He always feels that these scars destroy his handsome face. Of course, on the other hand, the scars on his face made him look even more intimidating.
Strictly speaking, Zhu Gangbin should be thankful for that devastating fire. Because everyone in the know had been killed, no one knew that he had once been a traitor and followed Gao Zhengyang.
"I heard that Gao Zhengyang grew up here."
The mountains of Eastern Wilderness were covered in a thick layer of ice and snow. The mountains stretched on endlessly. Zhu Gangbin had been busy here for two months, but he didn't see anything special about it.
"However, that man's hometown must be a little different."
Zhu Gangbin's respect for Gao Zhengyang had already seeped into his bones. Even though his martial arts had improved greatly and he had become an eighth stage expert, he still didn't have the guts to seek revenge on Gao Zhengyang.
He was so frustrated every day because he was afraid that he would meet Gao Zhengyang. After all, this was his hometown.
The more Zhu Gangbin thought about it, the more depressed he felt. My heart is bitter, but I have no one to talk to. Life is really as lonely as snow!
He looked up at the sun in the sky. The afternoon sun was shining brightly, shining on the snow-covered mountains. Everywhere was a vast expanse of white. The sky was unusually bright. Looking down from a high vantage point, the silver mountains rose and fell. The scenery was exceptionally magnificent and beautiful.
The sun was too bright during the day. At noon, all the Green Demons would hide in the caves to avoid being blinded.
In the beginning, no one had any experience. Millions of demons were blinded, becoming useless blind people.
It was said that Her Majesty Purple Heart Lotus was so furious that she killed a few generals on the spot.
From then on, preventing snow blindness became common knowledge for all demons.
When one's martial arts reached the heaven-stage, they naturally wouldn't be blinded by strong light.
Every noon, Zhu Gangbin liked to stand on the peak and look at the mountains alone.
Even though the wind was so cold that his ears were about to split open, Zhu Gangbin enjoyed the feeling of looking down from above. Even though the biting cold wind was so cold that his ears were about to split open, Zhu Gangbin enjoyed the feeling of looking down from above.
Speaking of which, this was also a habit he had learned from Gao Zhengyang.
In the beginning, Zhu Gangbin didn't understand the meaning of doing this. But as time went on, he began to understand the meaning behind it.
Looking down at the world from above, broadening one's horizons could also affect one's mood and increase one's breadth of mind. The reason he was able to ascend to the eighth stage was partly due to hard work, but it was also because his vision and knowledge had changed greatly.
"Zhu Gangbin, you're being silly again!" A huge black crow flew down from the sky and mocked loudly. This crow had glossy feathers, a red beak, and white claws. It had an air of extraordinary grandeur.
Before Zhu Gangbin could speak, the crow cackled again. "Are you trying to be a poet?"
Zhu Gangbin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze distant. Unfortunately, his fat pig head was full of scars, his belly was protruding, and there was a thin pig tail dangling behind his butt. No matter how one looked at him, he looked ugly and ferocious. He didn't look like a poet at all.
Zhu Gangbin was a little displeased, but this crow was a messenger from the central army. Although it couldn't control him, it couldn't be offended. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You don't understand …"
The crow was even more displeased. A fat pig demon was still pretending to be profound. What was wrong with this world?!
It let out another ear-piercing croak and flew around Zhu Gangbin twice before landing on Zhu Gangbin's helmet.
Zhu Gangbin was about to swat it away when the crow said, "Pass on the commander's order."
Zhu Gangbin didn't dare to move. He hurriedly put his feet together, puffed out his chest, and sucked in his stomach, putting on a solemn expression.
The crow cackled sinisterly, then said, "The commander has given strict orders for all divisions to move faster and complete their respective tasks on time. Those who exceed the time limit will be dealt with according to military law. "
Zhu Gangbin's expression tensed. The tension in the military order made him very uneasy. Those who exceeded the time limit would be dealt with according to military law. Since the commander had said so, he had to keep his word. There was no mercy to speak of.
To build a grand city from scratch, every aspect needed to be closely coordinated. The Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range was cold and harsh, making it difficult to complete the plan on time.
The Great Commander should be well aware of this. Why would he suddenly give such a strict order?
Zhu Gangbin smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Lord Messenger, why did the commander suddenly give such a strict order? May I know what's going on inside?"
The crow snorted coldly and didn't say anything. This pig wanted to ask for information, so he lowered his voice. What was he doing earlier?
"I have two grade eight primal stones here. Please appraise them, Lord Messenger."
In order to obtain information, Zhu Gangbin took out two grade eight primal stones from his pocket and gave them to the crow.
The shiny and beautiful primal stones made the crow's eyes light up. It thought to itself, "This pig really knows how to talk. It's clearly a gift, so why is he talking about appraising it? Haha."
The crow pecked with its sharp beak and swallowed the two primal stones. It said slowly, "There's news from Yue Nation. Yue Qingxue and Yue Qingyu have returned."
Zhu Gangbin's ugly face was full of scars. He asked carefully, "What does this have to do with us?"
The crow was very impatient with Zhu Gangbin's slow response, but considering that he was only a low-ranking officer, it was normal that he didn't know such information. The two grade eight primal stones, he had to say a few words to show that he didn't take them for nothing.
"Yue Qingxue and Yue Qingxue aren't much, but they are Gao Zhengyang's women. Two years ago, they left with Gao Zhengyang to some mystic realm. Now that they're back, Gao Zhengyang is definitely back as well. "
The crow said, "The Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range is Gao Zhengyang's lair. He might be back soon. So we have to build the city as soon as possible. "
Zhu Gangbin suddenly understood. So that's why. The commander was afraid of Gao Zhengyang, so he wanted to speed up the construction.
However, would a saint level commander of the imperial bloodline be afraid of Gao Zhengyang?
Zhu Gangbin was a little surprised. A person like the commander was like a demon god in his heart. He was unreachable and had the power to turn the world upside down.
He couldn't help but ask, "I heard that Gao Zhengyang is quite young. What's there to be afraid of?"
"What do you know!"
The crow was especially disdainful of Zhu Gangbin's ignorance. It lectured, "Gao Zhengyang is now the strongest person in the human world. The number of grade nine powerhouses that died at his hands is more than what you've seen. This person is invincible in the human world. If you run into him, just run as far as you can. If you can escape from him, you can brag about it to others. You'd better pray that you don't run into him. "
When the crow spoke of Gao Zhengyang, its tone was filled with envy and respect. Even if Gao Zhengyang was an enemy, he was still an expert that they had to look up to.
Zhu Gangbin didn't know why, but when he heard the crow brag about Gao Zhengyang, he actually felt a sense of honor. He really wanted to tell Crow that he had followed Gao Zhengyang for a long time in the past.
But if he said such a thing, he would immediately be tortured and forced to reveal all the details. As long as he wasn't crazy, he wouldn't tell others about this.
"By the way, a few years ago, Gao Zhengyang went deep into the Black River Plain and killed Tu Li and more than ten million people there. Didn't you stay in the Black River Plain as well?"
The crow suddenly remembered and asked, "You should have been there when Black Armor City was breached!"
Zhu Gangbin hurriedly explained, "I was very far away from the main city of Black Armor. That's why I was lucky enough to survive."
The crow just asked casually and didn't pay much attention to it. After saying a few words, it flapped its wings and flew away.
Watching the crow fly away, Zhu Gangbin couldn't help but sigh. The demon race's large-scale invasion of the human world wasn't a good thing for the lower class. But in this position, he had no choice.
