My sword split the boulder into two, revealing a large, dark hole. The hole was tall, but not big enough for a horse to ride through. I got down from the horse and let Treading Snow take Dou Dou back to the tribe to report. I brought Heng Ai in, and the snake pearl was not as bright as the Night Pearl, so I brought out a light source. Looking at the smooth and orderly walls of the cave with traces of manual excavation, it was evident that this hole was not naturally formed. There were nine bends, each about a thousand meters long. The interior was very spacious, allowing the four of them to walk side by side. At the end of the tunnel was a patch of grass. If one didn't look carefully, it was impossible to find the entrance to the cave through the tall grass. It seemed that this cave had been dug for a long time. The cave entrance was at the foot of a mountain. When he came out, he saw a strong tribe not far away. They were training their troops and there seemed to be no less than a thousand people. I found a secluded spot and watched quietly. Suddenly, I was struck on the shoulder. Startled, I turned around and saw that it was Shun and Yu. I jokingly scolded, "If you pat my shoulder again in the future, I'll split you into two."

Shun smiled and said, "What kind of place is this?" Your precious monkey brought us here. "

I shook my head. "I don't know where this is. I wanted to ask you. This tribe is so close to you, yet you don't know? "

Shun Tian saw the soldier in the distance and said in shock, "This col is surrounded by tall mountains. Outsiders cannot climb them, so I didn't know there was anyone here!"

I really didn't know if this was a paradise or a secret base. I called them back from the cave and went back to eat something first. I was tired and hungry from the outburst. He returned to the cave and ate a large bowl of mutton. After resting for a while and waiting for the moon to rise, he brought Shun Wu and Yu Yu back into the cave. I took out two Night Pearls and gave one to Shun, so the three of us lifted the Night Pearls and sneaked into the cave. It seems that the people of this tribe think they are so secretive that they don't even have a watchman, which makes it convenient for us. The arrangement of the tribe was very simple. It was a ring-shaped layout with soldiers living on the outskirts. According to the weapons stacked at the entrance, they were inferred. The first floor was probably the dining hall. The rooms were all empty except for tables and chairs. Further in were the homes of women, children, and the elderly. There were a lot of clothes hanging on the outside of the doors. In the middle was a whole house, made of wood, with lights on inside. We carefully groped around and hid outside. Since it was easy to find a few cracks in a wooden house, we looked through them. There were five people inside, led by a white-bearded old man, and the other four were all about the same age as Yu.

The white-bearded old man said to the four youngsters, "Back then, when the leader died miserably, I brought your parents to this col to recuperate. It was during that escape that your father died. Also, ten days from now is the time for our attack. You must train your troops more quickly in the next few days and don't slack off. It had been a year since the cave had been dug, and now it was finally going to come in handy. Oh right, let me tell you a piece of good news. The spy I sent a few days ago had already set up a Bloodthirsty Dark Demon in the village near Shun. This way, the Bloodthirsty Dark Demon will spread very quickly. "Alright, you guys go down and rest, I'm tired too."

Four young men walked out. One of them said to the other three in a low voice, "Grandfather did this to a bloodthirsty dark devil, it's too cruel. I remember when I was young, I saw a person possessed by a bloodthirsty dark devil. He died especially miserably …"

Another young man quickly interrupted him, "Shh..." Don't let grandpa hear you. Aren't you afraid of his whip? "My mother often said that she didn't want to fight, and now that her days are peaceful and comfortable, I really don't know what my grandfather is thinking."

Hearing this, the other three expressed the same opinion. It seemed that not everyone here was living in hatred. If they could get rid of that white-bearded old man, wouldn't that be fine?

When we returned to the cave, I said to Shun, "Do you know the old man?"

Shun Shun shook his head, indicating that he hadn't seen him before. Yu then said, "He's a general that my father sat on. When my father died, the leader didn't kill my father's clansmen. He was only exiled. I didn't expect them to hide here."

Shun Yu said angrily, "I heard that he sent someone to poison him just now. I really want to tear him into a thousand pieces. Why don't I go back and kill him?"

I pulled Shun back and said, "No, his death won't solve the problem. Let's go back and think of a foolproof plan. "

Returning to his house, I asked Yu, "That old man seems to be very fond of horses?"

Yu said, "Yes, he is a horse fanatic. Before, he had a dark horse that died in battle. He cried on the horse for three days."

Dark horse? Hehe, I suddenly had a plan in my mind. I told my plan to Shun and Yu, and they both clapped their hands and cheered. They decided that Shun would stay with us and sleep without going back.

The next morning, after dinner, I called Treading Snow over to him and said, "Treading Snow, I have a difficult task for you right now. Follow me."

I brought Treading on Snow and Dou Dou to the col and pointed at the tribe in the distance: "There's a white-bearded old man there, pretend to be a wild horse and run over to take a stroll. Besides that old man, don't let anyone else touch you. Why don't you just be his mount for a few days? "When he takes you out to battle and hears my whistle, you can bring that old man to my side to complete the mission. After that, I'll definitely accompany you for a few days to have fun."

Looking at Treading Snow's reluctant look, I laughed and unsaddled the saddle and smacked its ass. I said: "Go, Dou Dou will accompany you in the distance. Oh right, Dou Dou, you also have a mission, when they leave, you must come back and tell me! "

Dou Dou nodded and followed behind Treading on the snow. As I watched them leave, I couldn't help but to worry, as though I was a father sending a child off to some faraway place, watching them disappear into the distance. Returning to my room made me feel uncomfortable, and it wasn't easy for me to sneak into the cove alone at night to see how Treading Snow and Dou Dou were doing. Lying outside the tree, looking in, what a guy, this old man really is an idiot. I saw Treading on Snow standing in the room leisurely eating the grass, from time to time I would roll my eyes at the old man. It was chewing on a fruit with its mouth wide open. It didn't know if it was because of telepathy or because I made a noise, but after stepping on the snow, it started to scream and run out. Just as I wanted to run away, Dou Dou jumped onto its head and comforted it, and it immediately quieted down. When the old man wasn't paying attention, Dou Dou ran out of the window and jumped into my embrace.

Sitting at the entrance of the cave, I caressed Dou Dou's head and said: "You've worked hard, what happened today?"

Once Dou Dou heard him, he jumped down to the ground and started waving his hands. First, it was as if he was learning how to walk on snow outside the tribe. He pulled my hand to get me to stand up and then pointed at my chin. I immediately understood that he wanted me to act like that old man, so I copied the old man's action of stroking my beard, whether it was like Dou Dou was holding her stomach and laughing for a while, before she walked to my side and rubbed her head against my body, and started to imitate that old man kneeling and kowtowing again. 's comical actions made me laugh out loud, and only when I started laughing out loud did I reluctantly separate from him.

Returning back to the room to think about Dou Dou's actions, I summarized the situation. Those people discovered that the divine steed, Treading on the snow, would all rush forward to grab it, and in the end, get kicked by Treading on the snow until it scattered. The old man with the white beard came out when she heard the sound, and Treading Snow immediately became meek when she saw him. At that moment, the old man kneeled down and kowtowed to thank God for the God's gift. That should be what she meant, but Dou Dou had forgotten to ask how she managed to sneak in.

Just like that, nine days passed. Shun's troops were ready, and there were many traps set up around the cave. The kind that could trap people and prevent them from harming others, this was my request. That night, Dou Dou ran back and gestured. It stood like a human and picked up another wooden stick, holding it up. It raised its head and looked at the wooden stick, then used the wooden stick to knock on Heng Ai's nose. Dou Dou nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the flames on the wooden stick, then started to walk back and forth like a human. As soon as I saw it, I immediately understood. That white-bearded old man had attacked ahead of time. Their men were holding torches as they wanted to make a night assault.

I turned around to look at Shun and found that he was still looking at Dou Dou with a confused expression. I smiled and said, "They are preparing a night assault. Why aren't you going?"

Shun Yu sighed and said, "A god is an immortal, you can even understand the language of animals."

I couldn't hold back my laughter. I felt that Dou Dou's explanation was already very obvious.

Today is the first day, so Little Yueyue went into the clouds to get lazy. It's really a good night's weather, but we're all prepared to wait for them to arrive. There was no moon and the ground was dark. At some point, the boulder that I had reblocked moved a few times before rolling to the side, letting out a whooshing sound. Out of a thousand and eight hundred men, the old man with the white beard was riding on a snowplow towards our camp. When all the men had left the cave, I arranged for men to block off their retreat. When the old man led the troops into the trap area, Shun gave a signal, and torches lit up the area, even lighting up the sky. Upon seeing this, the white-bearded old man and his troops immediately fell into disorder. The troops began to run around in panic, and more than half of them were trapped by the trap. The old man was truly worthy of being a general. He immediately steadied himself and shouted, "Don't panic, steadied yourself!"

Can you still hold on? The soldiers trained in the valley were all children of his own grandsons, and he had never seen any big battle before. At this moment, he had already treated his words as though they were exploding ants. I whistled. When Treading the Snow, I immediately dashed over. I heard the old man shout, "Stop! The divine steed, stop!"

Sigh! The poor man still believed that Treading the Snow was a divine foal bestowed upon him by heaven at this time. Treading on the snow came up in front of me and suddenly stood up and threw the white-bearded old man heavily onto the ground. I was really worried that he would die from the fall. Fortunately, he was still alive, but he didn't have much left to breathe. When the children saw their commander captured, they immediately put down their weapons and begged for mercy. "Put down your weapons and surrender," Shun Shun said loudly. "I won't hurt you."

The child soldiers kneeled down and begged for mercy. The white-bearded old man was so angry that he scolded his grandchild for having no backbone. In the end, he couldn't get his hair up in one breath. He had taken advantage of being angered to death by his descendants. Who knew how he would die if he were to fall into Shun's hands! We gathered these children in the square of the tribe, and Shun taught them to think, while the children wept to show that they were obedient. That's when I noticed a middle-aged man among the baby soldiers. He was a scoundrel who was constantly stealing from all over the place. I saw him take out a small bag from his bosom and wanted to throw it into the well. I was too far away to stop him, but fortunately, Treading Snow was drinking water by the well. He also seemed to sense that the man was up to no good. Shun and I ran over to see what the man was holding in his hand. When we walked in, he was unconscious. He had a small shell in his hand. It seems like the person who poisoned the water source was him. I ordered someone to bring a bucket of water to wake him up. The man groaned as he lay on the ground, unable to get up. When he saw the shell in my hand, he wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself. How could it be that easy? I kicked the hook off his jaw with my foot, and he lay there with his mouth wide open, looking at me in horror. With a cold smile, I stuffed the shell in my hand into his throat. He was so scared that he immediately used his hand to pick at it, but it was already too late. Perhaps it was due to him eating too many eggs that he developed the disease very quickly. Looking at him struggle painfully to the point where he died and his body was engulfed by the flames, my heart didn't feel any pity at all. I shuddered and thought to myself, "Amitabha …"

After dawn, Shun, Yu, and I brought the soldiers to the cove. There were only the old and the weak and the handicapped, and they were very afraid when they saw us. "Don't be afraid," Shun told them, "I'm not here to kill you, I'm Shun. If you want to live in my tribe, I'll give you cattle and sheep to build your houses.

One of the old ladies came up to us on crutches and said, "You really want us to go out and live? "He's not lying to us."

Shun gave the old lady a big smile. "I won't lie to you. Besides, your children have already pledged their allegiance to me, so there's no need for me to lie to you."

The old lady nodded and went back to talk with them, and they all agreed to go out and live.

"Is life not good here?" I asked.

A seven or eight year old girl said, "Not good, there will be a ghost cry when the moon shines here. I'm afraid."

A ghost cry? I asked the others, and they all nodded and said yes, and what was even worse was that some of the sick were always missing for no reason. Hehe, now that I've scratched my itch, I'm a person who loves novels of monsters and monsters the most. If I can catch one, it would be good if I could even catch a glimpse of it! Seeing my excited expression, Shun immediately became uneasy, probably still having some lingering fear about the Phantom Fish.

I left Shun and Yu dead and dragged them away. I said, "What are you afraid of in the middle of the day? Come with me." "Shun Wu has given you a Dragon Tooth. Yu said that this thing can ward off evil."

It was probably because of Dragon Fang that Shun had reluctantly agreed. I came to an empty tribe and regretted not asking for the position of the Demon's Cry back then! Right now, there were at least two to three hundred buildings here. Do I have to search them one by one?

Just as I was at a loss for words, I heard a cat's cry, coming from under the central cabin. We went in to search and found a few boards on the floor that were moving, and when we removed them to reveal a dark cellar, I lit a torch and threw it down. There was a ladder, but it wasn't very deep. I took out the Night Pearl and went down first, followed by Yu and Shun.

Down on the ground, by the light of the night pearls, I saw a huge stove. I picked up the torch that was still burning and threw it into the fire, which immediately illuminated the entire cellar. When we saw what was in the cellar, we all sucked in a breath of cold air...
