That youth surnamed Zhu did not know that the movement of the several thousand people of the caravan not only alerted the Righteous Canal Country's War Hounds, it also alerted some things that were not human. Several dozen miles away, a black man wrapped in black wind suddenly twitched his nose and said in a doubtful voice, "Why is there the smell of so many people?"
"Did that old thing lie to me? He secretly called the Righteous Canal Country's troops to ambush me? "
As the black wind rolled over, there were several dozen ghost like figures twisting in the wind, whistling as they flew up and down. There were also several demons, some of them had the faces of beasts, looking very fierce and some even had the appearance of wild beasts. They were all jackals, tigers, leopards, vicious monsters. With the black man as the leader, they surrounded a War Hounds Tribe.
The War Hounds Tribe had several hundred people, but there were only a hundred strong men in the tribe. The rest were all old and weak women in ragged clothes. There were women and children, but there were very few old people. This was because the War Hounds Tribe was not like the Central Plains, they did not have many filial piety rules. The old people that could not work, in order to save food, would starve to death.
Then their relatives would gather firewood and burn it, smoking it to death.
When some people saw the horde of demons and ghosts surrounding the tribe, they felt despair. They wept or clenched the crude "weapons" in their hands. Those so-called "weapons" were nothing more than stone spears and mulberry skin arrows used for hunting. It was difficult for them to pierce through the fur of the wolves on the grasslands, much less these well-armed demons who were ten times more ferocious and elite than them.
The tribe chief was a middle aged man. He kept shouting in the Hu language, but when he saw the black wind blowing over, he heard the pitiful cries of the chief from inside. Then there was no more sound, only the sound of bones being chewed could be heard.
There were also loud shouts from inside, "Little ones, kill them for me! Don't kill them all, leave some for later and slowly eat in the cave. Kill two and leave one alive. "
"Eat half fresh, eat half pickled, and keep the last half for later!"
The Monkey King on the bronze chariot suddenly looked into the distance and said to Chen Ang in a low voice, "Master, there's demonic energy in front of us! Do you want them to stop for now? " The scouting team in front also sensed that something was wrong. They sent someone to report, "Master, there are traces of smoke in front. The scouts heard screams of burning and murder. Please send someone to deal with it!"
Merchant Zhu Dahao's expression changed, and he exclaimed: "Not good, I'm afraid we've encountered the Three Pests!"
The Monkey King asked curiously, "What are these three pests? Why did the owner's expression change so much?"
Merchant Zhu Dahao gave orders to a group of skilled retainers to bring the armored guards of the caravan. The workers lined up and mounted their horses before explaining to the Monkey King, "Guest does not know, but the people of the Righteous Canal Country are very hard. Those small War Hounds tribes are in danger of being exterminated because of the Three Pests. The first is the kingdom's nobles, the second is the shamans, and the third is the ogres. "
"If a normal tribe meets one of them, their entire tribe will be in danger of being exterminated!"
"The Righteous Canal Country's nobles are tyrannical and cruel, taking pleasure in killing people. They are cruel to the small tribes, not treating them as their own people at all. Other than the large tribes named after the Righteous Canal, the other War Hounds people are the slaves and livestock of the Righteous Canal Country's nobles. Every winter, the Righteous Canal Country's nobles will bring their troops to hunt in the country. During the winter, all beasts will disappear, so what can they hunt? Other than robbing the bear's nest, they will find those small tribes, capturing their people and livestock, and killing their warriors. This will weaken the resistance of those small tribes and allow them to obtain slaves. Therefore, the Righteous Canal Country's king has not stopped them. "
"But if they meet the Righteous Canal Country's nobles, they will only lose a few able-bodied people. If they meet those shamans, it will be even more troublesome. Those shamans, in order to create magic tools, they love to kill people as blood sacrifices. They take babies and women's skin and hearts to create magic tools. Those shamans have a large influence and control many of the Righteous Canal Country's troops. Every time a great shaman needs a large scale blood sacrifice or to create a powerful magic tool, it is the nightmare of those small tribes."
"Sorcerers love to kill and sacrifice children. If their minions find a small tribe, they will often kill all the children under the age of 14. If they see a tribe without children, they must have been harmed by sorcerers!"
The great merchant Zhu sighed with emotion, "But although these two dangers are terrifying, they are far from being comparable to the third danger. If they meet a noble shaman, there is still a chance for the tribe to survive. At worst, they will just die! But if they meet a demon that comes down the mountain to eat people, then they will be consigned to eternal damnation, not even a complete corpse will be left ….. The Righteous Canal Country has a majestic mountain range to the north. Every winter when there is a lack of food on the mountain, there will be demons coming down the mountain to eat people. That's why the Righteous Canal Country doesn't care much about their own corpses. The dead will be cremated because they are afraid that the corpses will attract the demons. "
Chen Ang drove the carriage to the great merchant Zhu and said, "I wonder if the master can bring us along! The various things in the Righteous Canal Country are very different from the Central Plains. I want to learn from them. "
The great merchant Zhu was afraid that this backer would not care, so why would he reject Chen Ang's request? The Righteous Canal Country would be really dangerous after winter. If Chen Ang did not care, he could only beg his family's worshipper. But he did not know if that snake demon would be willing to protect the whole caravan. If they met a powerful demon, the snake demon would usually bring him and a few of his family members and retreat. He would not risk his life for his family business.
Chen Ang did not care about his plans. He ordered the Monkey King to drive the carriage and followed the guards and guests towards the smoke and dust.
The young man with the bow and arrows also rode to the side and said loudly, "Two doctors, please let me protect you from the side, in case the battlefield is silent and you get hurt by the weapons."
He then saw the Monkey King scratching his ears and cheeks, thinking hard about the difficult homework that Chen Ang had given him. The young man was a little angry. He turned his horse and ran away. He asked for a weapon from his guest and threw it on the bronze ox carriage. He said to the Monkey King, "You hairy man, you are really ignorant. The two doctors are priceless. Now that they are in danger, you are not only not protecting them, but also acting like a fool. You are really stupid."
The Monkey King held the weapon in his hand and did not argue with him. He rode the ox behind Zhu Dahao's caravan. With the people on this side riding horses, they traveled several dozen miles in an instant.
They could faintly see the War Hounds Tribe's winter camp in front of them. Seeing this tragedy, even if the young man was a racist, his face turned pale with fright. In that small village, there were corpses piled up on the ground. Several dozen demons were busy cutting open people's stomachs and hearts, chopping up the corpses and presenting the heads to their leaders. The remaining limbs and flesh were eaten by the demons themselves. Hearing the sound of meat being eaten, it was like a tiger eating a lamb. Each demon opened their bloody mouths and a human leg was eaten in an instant.
The young man tightly held onto the bow in his hand, not knowing what to do.
The horrendous sight of the demons eating humans almost scared the henchmen of the caravan to death. Even though the people of Old Qin had many brave warriors, the people of Middle Earth were protected by the immortals of the Heavenly Court. They had never seen such a ferocious and bloody scene. The weird-looking demons and ghosts made people's legs turn to jelly. Hence, the group of dozens of people made some noise and attracted the attention of the Demon King.
The Monster King rode the black wind and charged in front of Zhu Dahao. It was lucky that he could keep a straight face and remain calm.
He quickly shouted, "Great king, please wait! We are merchants from the Central Plains and have no intention of disturbing the great king's feast. We are willing to offer over a hundred oxen and horses for the great king to enjoy. We are the Immortal Great King's subordinates, collecting rare things for him. We hope the great king will give us some face. We will be friends in the future! "
That black man stopped the wind and floated a foot above the black fog as he shouted, "I am the Yin Mountain Ruler from the nearby mountains. Who do you think you are, relying on that shameless snake behind you, you dare to discuss conditions with me? Even if it comes personally, it will depend on whether I am willing to give it face! "
Yin Mountain Ruler swept his gaze around and saw the Monkey King. His eyes lit up and he said, "I'm sick of those oxen and horses' mouths!"
"I've never eaten a monkey raised by humans who learned to dress like humans. I wonder how it tastes compared to wild ones?" Yin Mountain Ruler rode the violent wind and reached out to take it from the Monkey King. He said, "I'll give face to that fellow Daoist I've never seen before. I'll take one out of two of the people here and only eat half. I'll chew on a monkey first!"
