Chapter 254 [Information and Drum Division]
Of course, their actions are aboveboard. After all, following others is not something shameful.
Even the few who were being followed in the front didn't care when they found the two behind, they just thought they wanted to come and join in the fun.
So Fang Chang and Sang Ziping followed closer and closer.
Even added a monster in the back, and started to strike up a chat: "I don't know, two brothers, where do you usually play tricks?"
The little demon who was asked, still had horns on his body, turned around and saw that it was two little leaders who were on vacation, and didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly replied: "The weather is so hot, we always look for a shaded place to stay, but There is nothing to play, at most play a game of square chess."
So they followed the little demon to the routine meeting place.
But behind the two boulders, the boulders seem to be cut by knives and axes, the sides are extremely flat, pointing to the sky like two thin sharp blades, but they also block the gradually fierce sunlight in the morning, leaving A large area of shaded ground.
At the same time, the terrain here is conducive to the passage of mountain winds, and it is not too short, so the coolness is only a little less than that in the cave—but it is very comfortable here.
There are already a few of them lying or lying there in disarray.
After all, they are all monsters, lying on the ground is common, and they are monsters, so they are not afraid of the moisture and cold on the ground.
Because most of the work in the main cave is solved by the group of worker ants, there are far more idle monsters here than in other caves.
They had a good time, and even brought some fruits and roasted sparrows sprinkled with salt, etc., and gnawed slowly.
There is also a large wooden barrel next to the mountain stream water. The snowmelt from the top of the mountain is sweet and cool. Anyone who is thirsty can use the small scoop inside to drink it.
Sang Ziping saw the scene in front of him, and the other party smiled and said: "These few have lived a good life."
Fang Chang nodded, shook his clothes, found a comfortable position next to the stone, leaned his back on the stone wall, raised his head slightly, and sat there in a comfortable posture, Sang Ziping also sat down beside him.
These monsters are quite familiar, seeing newcomers joining, regardless of their being small leaders, they immediately came up to greet them as if they were familiar. So Fang Chang and Sang Ziping took advantage of the opportunity to chat with them, and one who was lying on the ground even handed over two fruits.
Fang Chang waved his hand, rejected the fruit and roasted sparrow, pointed to the ground and asked, "How to play this chess? It looks interesting, teach me?"
"Yeah!"
Immediately, two of them came together and taught enthusiastically. But for these idle monsters, they are very boring all day long, and if they have a fresh face, they will naturally be interested. And the other party wanted to learn chess, and it was even scratching the itch. After all, "the trouble of people is to be a teacher", and the monster with Linghui is no exception.
"This chess is the most simple and convenient. It can be played without a large board. The number of chess pieces is fixed, and the materials are not selected. The rules are diverse and endless. It is most suitable for places with simple conditions..."
The one who spoke more fluently explained this game to Fang Chang and Sang Ziping.
It's really simple, you only need to draw five horizontal and vertical lines on the ground to form a grid, and then the two each find some small stones and small wooden sticks—these are everywhere in the mountains—to start the game.
Fang Chang and Sang Ziping have never been exposed to this kind of chess before, and they have learned it seriously. It is indeed interesting.
They quickly got acquainted with these monsters. Since monsters are generally naive, they were less prepared and talked about everything.
There were seven monsters present, and they usually jokingly called themselves "Seven Friends of Ant Mountain", but after they entered the main cave of Ant Mountain, they never got any jobs.
Sang Ziping asked: "Why did you devote yourself to this?"
A monster was lazily lying on the ground, watching Fang Chang playing chess with a deer demon next to him, and casually said:
"Isn't it because the food is managed here, and there is no danger to life?"
"In the past, whenever the demon king heard there was a demon there, he would send an army to recruit them, and attack if he didn't follow.
Another monster nodded and said:
"In fact, it's a good thing to come here. You see, after we came, we never did any work except for the first time. I guess the higher-ups may have forgotten about us. We either eat or play all day long, except that we can't leave the ant hill. Other than that, life is much happier than before.”
All the monsters nodded in agreement with this statement.
Fang Chang was on the side, patted his chest and said:
"It's a pity that I didn't get to know a few brothers early. After we joined in, we also had some leisure time, but we just stayed in the cave and didn't dare to run around."
"Later, when the Fengming Cave was defeated, I took in a brother. I guess it was remembered by the higher-ups. I assigned him a job and is currently taking care of the mushroom field. From now on, we will all be friends, so feel free to speak up."
The demons were polite, and Fang Chang then asked:
"After the restructuring of our main cave last time, we didn't know the details. I don't know when the next meeting of the demon kings will be."
A monster beside him replied casually:
"It's still half a year. Before that, it took ten days and a half months to gather all of them, and they clicked once. Now, the demon king has delegated all the authority to the cave masters. I don't know what they can do. What kind of monster soldiers, let me see, it won't be long before this rule has to be changed to what it used to be..."
"Then if there are swordsmen about to rise, how can we gather an army?" Fang Chang pretended to shake his head.
"It's not easy." A monster next to him said, "There is a big clock in the cave, which was snatched back when going down the mountain. There is also a big drum in the cave, which was also snatched back when going down the mountain. The monster king named it "Juyao" "Drum" and "Juyao Zhong" are good names that imply unity. "
"When it is necessary, there will be a few specific bells and drums to ring it. Gathered big and small leaders will ring it three times, and the gathered cave leaders will ring it four times. The point is to order the soldiers and horses, and all the members come here to line up, waiting for the demon king to order..."
After playing with them for a while, Fang Chang and Sang Ziping looked at each other and said goodbye to the seven monsters.
They felt as if they had found a way to break the situation, and they were going to find a quiet place to discuss it carefully, so they said to these monsters: "We still have something to do, we are going to inspect the slave camp, play well everyone, we will come back tomorrow. "
Although the monsters refused to get up from the ground, they all waved their hands in greeting.
