Chapter 151 [Lucky Mission]
Different from my own Fengming Cave, the main cave is a large karst cave.
Entering the entrance of the cave, the terrain goes down, the water drops inside are ticking, and the sound of the underground river can be vaguely heard. The stalagmites on both sides are like a forest of swords, and also like a giant mouth of a beast, full of long white teeth.
The interior is only illuminated by a few pine torches, and the depths are dark and deep, as if they will choose monsters to devour them at any time. Fortunately, most monsters have night vision, so they don't care much about it.
However, the cool air in the cave, and the distant breath of the desolate years exuding from the stalactites still make all the monster leaders feel a sense of tranquility. Even though they come here every ten days, they are still not very used to the scenery.
The so-called "raising account" does not have a large account.
Only a dozen chairs were placed on a flat stone platform in the middle.
The chairs are of different designs and shapes, and obviously come from complicated sources. They are distributed according to the size of each leader, and some animal skins such as tigers and leopards are also draped on them.
"I have seen the demon king."
When the demons were seated, the leaders bowed one after another and shouted to the demon king in unison.
When the pangolin first arrived, because he didn’t know the rules, he got up a little too late, and was ridiculed by other leaders for half a year, which made him deeply ashamed.
But I heard the demon king above say: "It's all ready, let's start."
Two people who were about to chat with each other immediately sat up straight, watching the tip of their noses stay still.
Then, under the command of the demon king, the leaders got up one by one from the demon king's right hand side and reported the latest situation in their cave, including the number of little demons recruited, food hoarded, and information obtained, etc.
"Leader Tian Shan, what about you?"
They lined up one by one, each made a brief report, and soon arrived at the pangolin.
Hearing what the Ant Demon King said, the pangolin demon suddenly realized that this was his own name.
He finally remembered.
At the beginning, I heard that the pangolin leader who had just been subdued had no surname or name, so the demon king asked his staff to choose a few surnames and the corresponding names, and each explained the reasons and presented them.
Then the demon king chose the name "Tian Shan" on the spot and gave it to him.
However, he was listening from the side at the time, and he preferred the surname "A" to the surname "Tian". After all, I heard from the staff that it all comes from the last word of my species, why not just use "A"?
It's just that the lingering charm of the demon king's killing stick is still there. At that time, the pangolin Tianshan didn't dare to speak, but just bowed his head and thanked him, and he could only use it forever.
Therefore, he doesn't often mention or use this name often, so that he often forgets his last name.
However, the majesty of the demon queen made the pangolin very restrained in every meeting. In Tian Shan's view, the pressure on him from the demon queen was even greater than when he faced the terrifying practitioner in Yunzhong Mountain.
When the killing force was hit on the pangolin, the pangolin was so frightened that it couldn't even summon up the courage to beg for mercy.
The memory is only in an instant. When the demon king called his name, the pangolin jumped out of his chair, put back the leopard skin that had been brought to the ground by the scales on his body, walked to the middle, bowed to the demon king, and reported:
"In the past ten days, Fengming Cave has recruited three new little demons, namely antelope, wolf, and python. One of the lost little demons is a rabbit spirit and has not yet been found..."
"A batch of food from Xintun, enough for the monsters in this cave to eat for seven days, and according to the teaching last time, we made a net, which has not yet been used in the river..."
The report was very brief, the demon king nodded, and the staff next to him had already noted it down.
The pangolin turned around, jumped onto its seat, and listened to the report from the leader. Fortunately, these are just daily affairs, and there is no need to rank them, otherwise Fengming Cave will definitely count down.
Because their qualifications are very new, there are only two or three leaders behind them, and they joined the Ant Mountain Monster Group even later.
After all the leaders finished their report, the Demon King waited for a while, and when the aide who was taking notes next to him stopped writing and began to dry the ink, he opened his mouth and said:
"There is a new order from above."
Including the pangolin, the leaders immediately sat up straight, and those with ears also straightened their ears to listen.
Just listen to the demon king continue to say: "The time has come, we can take some bigger actions, but we still have to be cautious, but we don't need to make small troubles like before."
Hearing this, all the leaders cheered up.
They all know that good things are coming, and they are looking forward to the following roll call.
Pangolin Tianshan is also very solemn, he knows what the so-called "above" in the mouth of the demon king is like.
Although I was subdued late, I don’t know how the Demon King joined this organization, but from other leaders, I have also heard about the scene and methods when the people from above came to subdue the Demon King.
Of course, there must be a huge distortion in the narration, and the scene may be exaggerated, but as a subordinate of the Ant Demon King, in the end, he still dare not make up random things. Anyway, the ant demon king was captured without a fight, and after being recruited by the opponent, he issued a series of orders, and then began to unify the group of monsters in the mountain.
As for the envoys from "above", Tian Shan has also seen them, most of them have already transformed, and their cultivation base is advanced, and their behavior is secretive.
The previous task was to let them recruit troops and stockpile food, and at the same time orderly go down the mountain to rob and disturb.
It's a pity that because the qualifications are too new, there are not many subordinates. The pangolin has not received the mission before, so it can only watch other leaders go down the mountain to grab all kinds of utensils, food, coins, treasures, livestock, and human servants. tight.
He has thought countless times, if he is sent down the mountain, how prestige he should be, how many good things he can grab, how to enjoy, and how to torture those humans—Of course, Tian Shan only heard other leaders brag about it, but never saw it with his own eyes.
But judging from the sluggish look of the slaves who had been captured by violence, it can be seen that what they said was true.
The Ant Demon King said:
"What the messenger means is that from now on, we can let go, and don't have to close our hands like before. Now that our strength is getting stronger, and the mountain is in chaos, we can add fire to the top, so that the people below the mountain are even more chaotic."
In the hopeful eyes of the leaders, the demon king looked around, and then named the pangolin:
"Tian Shan, since you joined the group, you have been conscientious in your work. Before, because your qualifications are too new, you have not been assigned the task of going down the mountain. Now that you are a veteran, you can go down the mountain."
"This time, you will lead an army and go down the mountain to plunder. You go back and prepare, and set off on your own in five days."
Hearing this, the pangolin Tian Shan was overjoyed:
"Thank you for the promotion of the demon king! The little one will definitely complete this matter beautifully."
"It's very good if you have this heart." The demon king instructed: "Be careful on the way down the mountain, avoid the human army, and try to sneak attack."
"Not only do we have to loot supplies, but we also have to do it freely and try our best to cause some chaos. Remember to pay attention to safety, get out in time, and don't be bumped into by practitioners."
"Little one obeys!" The pangolin came out of the line, leaned down on the ground and thanked, and then returned to Fengming Cave to not mention it.
