Under the scorching sun, this group of wolf demons all stuck out their tongues, gasped heavily, and looked listless.
One of the wolf demons was drooling at the sight of the flock of sheep being driven behind him. He ran to the front and made a proposal to the bald wolf demon who was leading the group.
If you are a wolf, how can you not like to eat sheep?
The bald wolf demon was obviously tempted to do something, but when he thought of his boss's cold eyes, he forced himself to hold back.
"No, there are still a dozen mountain kings here. If there are no sheep, I will tie you up and offer you to those kings."
The wolf demon was helpless and could only flick his tongue and return to his position.
The cultivation of monsters is not as orthodox as that of human cultivators.
Human cultivators can usually practice fasting after building their foundation. Under normal cultivation conditions, they only need a little water to sustain themselves for at least several months or even years without the need for additional food.
But monsters are different, their practice often follows instinct more.
If you do not restrain your instincts and desires during cultivation, then after your cultivation reaches a higher level, your instincts and desires will not gradually disappear. Instead, their impact on the monsters will become more serious.
Even after reaching a high level of cultivation, they always want to devour blood. When the weather gets a little hot, they all complain bitterly.
These monsters are all quite powerful. They have only been walking for a few days and this isn't extreme weather like the one in the Flaming Mountain. It's impossible for it to have any substantial impact on them.
If this could kill them with heat or thirst, then it wouldn't be so hard for the monks to deal with the monsters.
However, the human girls in the cages were very weak because their drinking water was taken away by them and they had been hanging on the cages and exposed to the sun for the past few days. They could only suck a little dew on the bamboo cages every morning.
If it weren't for this layer of red cloth covering them, some of them would have died of heatstroke.
At this moment, the wolf demons in front suddenly shrugged their noses, as if they smelled something.
Soon, all the wolf demons perked up, smelling an alluring aroma of wine coming from not far away.
"There's wine! Great!"
The wolf demons had very sensitive noses and they immediately caught the smell.
The leader was a wolf demon with a baroque dome bald on his forehead. He was also very thirsty.
At this time, how can one resist the temptation of alcohol?
"You guys take good care of the king's gift. Don't worry, I will save a few bowls of wine for you."
He asked his men to continue driving the convoy forward, and he himself led a group of wolf monsters and ran out on all fours, running quickly forward.
Soon, we found a tavern in the wilderness ahead.
On the door of this tavern, there is a gray sign with the word "Wine" written on it.
There is actually a tavern in this remote place. If it were anywhere else in the Eastern Region, it would obviously be a black shop.
Generally, monks who are not skilled enough dare not enter.
But it’s different in the Ten Directions Domain. Everyone is a monster, so there’s no distinction between barren mountains and shabby ones.
When the wine is ready, as long as the seal is opened, the aroma will spread out and attract enough customers. After it is sold out, the next round of brewing will begin.
It was extremely lucky that we encountered this group of wolf monsters while on the road.
"Whose tavern is this? Come out and welcome the guests! Bring us the good wine and good meat!"
A group of burly wolf demons rushed into the tavern, slammed the table and started shouting loudly.
They looked more like robbers than customers.
A moment later, a pangolin came out from behind, also walking upright on two legs, but only half the height of a human.
Obviously this is a pangolin monster.
"Dear guests, this is the tavern that brews wine for the Mountain King. Please wait a moment, I will go get some wine to entertain you."
The first thing the pangolin demon said was who was in charge of his tavern. Only in this way could he prevent the wolf demons from causing trouble.
As for this tavern, it may not really be the property of the Mountain-Chuan King. It may just be that one pays tributes to this tavern regularly and then receives his protection.
In this land of thousands of monsters, if one's own strength is not strong enough, one often has to either hide from the outside world and survive cautiously, or need a strong backer to maintain life.
Especially for those who open a business, if individual small-time demons dare to open a business, their final fate will be to be robbed of everything.
It is only reliable if you exchange what you have with a few monsters you are familiar with privately.
"Sorry for the long wait, my guests."
"This is the fruit wine that the little demon made from the snakeberry fruit picked from the mountains."
"Although it's not as authentic as the one at Monkey Mountain, it still has the flavor of the small shop. Let's try it."
Several jars of fruit wine were brought up. The wine poured out of them had the red color of snakeberry, and the aroma was just as the wolf demons had just smelled.
The wolf demons, who had been thirsty for a long time, immediately began to drink in big gulps.
It was a pity that there was nothing to go with the wine, so they didn't enjoy the drinking to their heart's content.
At this time, the wolf monsters suddenly saw that there was a person sitting quietly in front of a wine table in the corner.
He was wearing a wet cloak, with a few drops of river water dripping onto the cloth from time to time. The skin exposed from his arms was covered with a layer of black scales.
Whether from the appearance of the clothes or the aura, it looks like a fish monster.
On his desk, there was a plate of beef and a plate of sour plums.
This person is none other than Jiang Li.
He has been following this wolf demon group over the past few days.
On the way, I tried to attack them several times, but in the end I didn't find the right opportunity.
After discovering this tavern, he was certain that the group of wolf demons would come here to have fun and drink, so he came in first and waited for them.
At first, he really wanted to try the wine brewed by the pangolin monster to see if it had any special flavor.
Just after looking at the color of the wine and the tavern owner's big red teeth.
Jiang Li could no longer hold the wine bowl.
If he guessed correctly, the pangolin monster's wine-making process was to chew the ingredients into pieces and mix them together with its mouth, then put them into a barrel and let them ferment on their own.
The taste is really too strong.
So much so that the wine jars and wine bowls on his side were still empty.
He also specially took out a large piece of bloody raw beef and a plate of sour plums that were so delicious that they could make your mouth water just by smelling them.
This immediately made the group of wolf demons stare blankly.
"Innkeeper, do you look down on us brothers? Why does he have side dishes? We don't."
The wolf demon leader, who had a bald spot on his head, immediately grabbed the pangolin boss with dissatisfaction.
He bared his teeth ferociously, and saliva mixed with wine dripped from the corners of his mouth.
"Misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding. Those side dishes were brought by the guest himself. We really don't have them in our restaurant."
"I have some wild fruits here. If you wolves want to eat them, I will bring them up right away."
After all, it’s a pangolin tavern, it’s good enough that they don’t feed you ants, earthworms or something like that.
Having said that, the wolf demon let go of the pangolin boss. After all, this was the Pangolin King's territory.
It's okay to scare them, but if they really start fighting, they may not be able to get out of this mountain.
A pangolin can't move, but a fish might be able to move.
This group of wolf demons immediately turned around and looked towards Jiang Li.
They stood up together and surrounded Alliance Leader Jiang with unfriendly looks on their faces.
Wolf demons are a type of monster that hunts in groups, and when they form a group, their courage increases dramatically.
Plus, he had just drunk some wine, so his beastly nature was exposed.
"Where are you from, fish monster?"
"Don't you recognize us? We are subordinates of the Blue Wolf King of Black Bamboo Mountain. Why don't you come up and pay your respects to us when you see us?"
There was no water nearby, Jiang Li was alone, and his aura was not strong, so he was regarded as an easy target for bullying.
A group of guys were fighting for the little piece of meat and fruit on the table.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Because this mountain range has several thick veins and abundant spiritual energy, there are many powerful monsters who rule the mountains here.
It's not easy to take action here, but that doesn't mean Jiang Li has no means to deal with them.
He wasn't angry and pushed the two plates in front of him over.
"This is the best buffalo beef. If you want to eat it, you are welcome."
"There is also a plate of ten-year-old sour plums. Eating one is the best way to quench your thirst when you are on a long journey. If you don't mind, please try it."
The two dishes on the table were prepared for them. How could Jiang Li refuse them? "You're smart."
Seeing that the fish monster was so sensible, they were very satisfied.
He picked up two plates of side dishes and returned to his side.
The piece of buffalo meat weighed only about ten pounds, so it was snatched away by the bald wolf demon in the lead. He ate it all in two bites, smacking his lips, still feeling unsatisfied.
The other wolf demons swallowed their saliva, but were helpless and could only look at the plate of sour plums.
Although they like to eat meat by nature, they have already transformed into demons after all, so eating wild fruits occasionally is a good choice.
They each grabbed a sour plum and put it in their mouths. They didn't know how good it was until they tried it. As soon as they put it in their mouths, it was just as Jiang Li said, sour and refreshing, making their mouths water. It seemed that all the fatigue from the journey was completely removed at this moment.
"What a good fruit! Hey, fish monster, do you have any more?"
This fruit is of course a good fruit. It contains the seeds of spiritual roots. How can it not be a good fruit? "Of course I have more sour fruits here. But this sour plum, when you eat the first one, it is sour and refreshing, and it can refresh you and relieve fatigue. But you can only eat one in a day. If you eat the second one right away, it will become bitter and astringent."
The group of wolf demons didn't believe it and still wanted to eat it.
But just as Jiang Li said, the sour plums that were so delicious just now turned bitter and astringent at this time. I spat them out as soon as I put them in my mouth.
This is also a feature of the spiritual root seed, which prevents creatures from eating a second spiritual seed and causing unnecessary waste.
After tasting the bitter taste, several wolf demons immediately wanted to cause trouble for Jiang Li.
But when he looked up again, there was no trace of Jiang Li.
After a while, the team behind caught up.
The remaining wolf demons also ate sour plums to relieve the heat and thirst.
Even the human girls in the cages were given a few bowls of water and some dry food to fill their stomachs.
After resting for half a day, the wolf demon convoy continued to move forward.
But as time went on, except for the few wolf demons in the lead, the eyes of the other subordinate wolf demons all showed some changes.
They looked at each other secretly and communicated with each other, completing the conspiracy without making any sound.
After leaving a large demon territory and arriving at an area with no one under its jurisdiction.
The bald wolf demon was about to turn around and say something when a sharp blade pierced his waist and abdomen from behind.
The severe pain shocked the bald wolf demon and he looked back, only to find that several other wolf demon leaders had suffered the same treatment.
Before they understood what was going on, they swung their claws and struck away the wolf demon that attacked them. They were about to question them why they betrayed them.
As a result, the next moment, all the wolf monsters in the team rushed up at once.
The wolf demons are good at teamwork. Some of them bite the limbs, some bite the neck, and all the places that can be bitten are bitten by the wolf's mouth.
Their leader was pulled tightly to the spot.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! Are you going to rebel?"
The strongest bald wolf demon among them was still struggling violently even though he was held down by thirty wolf demons, and was thrown out from time to time.
After all, they are not as high in rank, so even if they work together, they can't suppress it for long.
But that's enough.
Just after the bald wolf demon shook off most of its mouth, a foot stepped on it from behind, stunning it.
He just felt that his internal organs were displaced and at least ten bones in his body were broken, and he lost the ability to resist for a moment.
Then he was picked up and thrown directly into a coffin.
This coffin seemed to contain an endless abyss. Once entered, no one could get out without the owner's consent.
Afterwards, several other wolf demons that were equivalent to Nascent Soul cultivators were also thrown into the coffins one by one.
Creatures of this level have the ability to discover and resist the spiritual root seeds of Jiuyou's clone.
So before in the tavern, Jiang Li did not alert the enemy, but secretly controlled their men, and only took action at this time with the help of both inside and outside forces.
And took them all down in the shortest possible time.
"May I have your name?"
Jiang Li lifted the red cloth on a bamboo cage, fed the girl inside some water and food, and then asked in the most common language.
But the other party still had a cold expression on his face and looked at Jiang Li blankly.
Was he too scared? Or did he not understand what Jiang Li said?
Jiang Li changed several alien human languages in succession, but the girl in the cage still did not respond.
He then turned to communicate with the other girls. After repeated attempts, he found that these girls did not seem to be afraid to answer, but rather simply did not understand.
Jiang Li finally released a few inner ghosts to enter their minds and investigate.
It turned out that these girls had extremely limited vocabulary.
They seemed to have no names of their own and could barely recognize more than a few simple imperative words.
Such as stand up, sit down, come here, kneel down, etc.
These girls should be from the human village being held captive by the blue wolves of Black Bamboo Mountain.
The power of Black Bamboo Mountain is not great, and there is only one human village inside.
Due to years of oppression by the wolf demons, the humans there cannot live a good life, let alone educate their children.
As a result, even though he is in his teens, he still can hardly speak. His daily communication is just accepting the orders of the wolf demon, which leads to this situation.
