Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 717 Manpower
The cold wind is blowing, and it is the snowfall time of the year.

Early in the morning, a notice was posted outside a fish and shrimp shop at Lixian Wharf.

The busiest water fishing in late autumn every year has just passed, and the fishermen began to rest. There were few people on the pier, and it took half an hour for someone to come to the door.

"Eagle-billed snake eel, five talismans per catty..."

"Ok?"

Soon, as the news of the high-priced purchase of eagle-billed snake eels spread, the pier quickly became lively, and ships of all sizes left the pier and headed northeast.

Another notice was posted three days later.

"Slap palm algae, three talismans for a catty of white algae, five talismans for a catty of red algae, and ten talismans for a catty of purple algae."

"A thorntail butterflyfish, twenty talismans a catty."

"Humpbacked giant larvae, ten talismans per catty."

"Ugly, one or two hundred symbols."

"Black horse dolphin..."

From all over Liangyaozhengguo, big ones from Feiyang Chamber of Commerce and Juejia, small ones to ordinary fishermen, small boats, etc. poured into the intercepting lake one after another.

half a month later.

In Ziqi Hall, Lu Tong sat cross-legged on the couch.

Zhang Qiao entered the hall, handed over a letter, and said, "My lord, the owner of the Jinxiang Pagoda has just sent me a peace letter from the hunchbacked giant fish clan."

Lu Tong accepted the letter.

There is a piece of fish skin in the letter with "and" written on it.There is also a document, which is the tower owner of Jinxiang Pagoda introducing the ins and outs.

There is a fisherman in Jinxiang Tower who is very good at hunting juvenile giant humpback fish. He disappeared for several days after entering the water last time. When he came back, he brought back this fish skin and the wish of the humpback giant fish for peace.

He read it once and said with a smile, "It fell apart after only half a month."

"No one can stop the lord's conspiracy. Ordinary monsters know how to avoid it, but it is difficult to restrain wild beasts that have not awakened their minds. If things go on like this, such monsters will surely decline even if they are not destroyed."

Lu Tong put the fish skin aside and said, "How many monsters are there on the early leaving island?"

"Mingfeng sent a document yesterday. The thorntail butterflyfish and black horse porpoise have not shown up for a day. If there is no accident, they should come to sue for peace."

Lu Tong nodded slowly.

In just a few days, the Dragon King invited many helpers, such as palm algae, thorntail butterflyfish, ugly scorpion and so on.

It's just that the key to vertical and horizontal alliances lies in interests.

The more people, the more complex the interests.

All the monsters seem to have the same enemy - Shuguo, but they are far or near from each other, and the price they are willing to pay is different.

The interests are different, and it only takes a little action, and the alliance that the dragon king shouted can be easily destroyed.

"Let them watch carefully to prevent the clam worm from breaking the boat."

"Yes."

Another month has passed.

Lu Tong landed on Zaode Island again, with Jue Tianniu, Yunao, Jue Mingfeng and Mingfeng on the left and right.

Zaode Island has become a barren area, with corals, shellfish holes, and green shades all disappearing.

Jue Tianniu said: "My lord, it just happened in the early hours of this morning. Many clamworms left the island, passed through the mouth of the river, and swam away along the undercurrent to the east."

"It's gone?"

Lu Tong fell towards the island.

"I don't know." Jue Tianniu shook his head.

"No."

At the same time Yun Ao spoke, Lu Tong looked towards the north.

On the island, a large amount of soil was churning, as if a very thick earth dragon was rushing from the ground, with a dull "buzzing sound"

"careful!"

Mingfeng, Juetianniu, Yunao and others moved away at the same time.

Lu Tong took out the sweeping dust whisk, waited until the turbulent soil was approaching a hundred feet away, and flung out the dust whisk, sweeping out a large black light curtain.

The light within a few miles suddenly dimmed.

The soil broke open, and a hill-like clamworm rushed out of the soil and crashed head-on into the darkness. Its mouthparts were like a round palace with a mouth, and it swallowed Lu Tong in one gulp.

Lu Tong raised his hand and punched.

Ban Lin, Ban Feng, Sleeping Salamander, Tie Tuan Jiao, Hua Zhi Thunder Dragon, Dai Yue Monkey Owl, Xi Shi, Wuqiao White Elephant, Black Bear, and San Shan Ling Niu all came out together.

"boom!"

More than a dozen attacks landed on the mouthparts, and there were layers of folds in the darkness. Along the lines of the folds, tiny cracks were cracked on the mouthparts of the clamworm.

The clamworm burrowed into the ground again.

At this time, the four souls moved at the same time, Ban Lin, Ban Feng, Mei Salamander, and Tie Tuan Jiao rushed out together, landed on the back that hadn't penetrated into the soil, and blasted out one after another attack.

In an instant, countless sand and sand flew up.

Lu Tong scattered into a cloud of blood several miles in diameter, stretched out a huge palm, and grabbed the gap made by Banlin, Thunder Dragon, White Elephant and others worked together to grab the silkworm that was about to escape.

"Lutong!"

"Humph!"

Whisks were thrown out one after another from the blood cloud, and patches of darkness fell one after another, as if falling into darkness within a radius of more than ten miles.

"Ugh..."

The sleepy salamander opened its mouth wide, and a piece of the clamworm's back instantly disappeared.

"break!"

Banfeng swept through the flames and cut out a hundred-foot-long flame sword.

"Ding!"

A little yellow light pierces the sand and dust in the sky, the light is very bright and pure, better than the best topaz in the world.

The clamworm stopped running away and slowly got out of the ground.

Numerous yellow lights radiated out.

Lu Tong's heart tightened a little, and he said, "The mighty shed?"

The appearance of the clamworm changed drastically.

It was originally a dark brown fat silkworm, extremely bloated and clumsy, but now it has turned into a yellow crystal golden silkworm, slender like a python, with two sharp mouthparts on the head, like two sharp horns.

The clamworm didn't respond, and swayed its body, emitting a strong yellow light, which turned into a phantom with a diameter of tens of feet and a stretch of more than ten miles.

Xu Ying opened his mouth two feet wide, and the fangs in his mouth were like spears.

Lu Tong continued to sweep out the whisk.

In the darkness, Ban Lin and Ban Feng flashed behind the silkworm at the same time, making ripples.

The phantom flickered, and the giant mouth scattered into a handful of yellow light before it fell.

"Wow!"

The sleepy salamander screamed, and the yellow light emitted by the clam worm suddenly disappeared, and an invisible mouth bit off the light, and it continued to fall on the clam worm's back.

After half a breath, the mouth fell away, and the clamworm did not have any injuries, and once again burst into a rich yellow light.

Lu Tong took out the purple bead, radiated mana, and released four strands of purple energy, which fell towards Ban Lin, Ban Feng, Sleeping Salamander, and Tie Tuan Jiao, and turned them into spears, knives, armors, and spears respectively.

The clamworm once again condensed into a phantom, and slammed into the blood cloud.

Lu Tong swept out his whisk one after another.

Banlin and the others charged forward with their weapons in hand, crushing the phantom one by one, and continued to attack the clamworm one after another.

"Ding, ding..."

The sound is dense like rain.

Fire knives, giant mouths, spears, etc., hit the silkworm one after another, sending out ripples, but did not leave a trace of scars.

Lu Tong sighed softly in his heart, restrained the blood cloud, and avoided the collision of the clamworm.

The legacy of power is well-deserved.

Fuchen, Banfeng, Banlin, almost all of their strongest methods were used, but they still couldn't break through the defense.

With such a tyrannical defense, I am afraid that Pao Chuan and the first demon lord are also helpless. The thousand-foot giant sword that Qing Ya invited may have a chance. In addition, the black and white salamander that Ni Xuanqu used when asking for magic may break the space together.

The clamworm paused for a moment, then turned its head and rushed towards the southwest.

Yun Ao, Jue Tianniu, Ming Feng and others stopped him together.

Yun Ao condensed a ten-foot lotus flower, spit out a white flying sword, and landed on the silkworm's back, also without breaking through the defense.

"what!"

Jue Tianniu exclaimed suddenly.

Several giant bull magic weapons collided with the mouthparts of the clamworm, and several large holes were drilled out.

Yun Ao said: "Invincible!"

"I come."

To the southwest is the land of Liangyao Zhengguo. Once the clamworm breaks in, the damage it will cause is incalculable.

Lu Tong put on the Hundred Demons again, and stopped in front of the silkworm, sweeping out a large area of ​​darkness with one hand, and shooting out dragons, monkey owls, lions, elephants, etc. with the other.

The four clones also came out together.

"Ding, ding..."

In a few breaths, Lu Tong hit almost all corners of the clamworm, front, back, up and down, and his heart sank a bit.

There are no weaknesses.

Except for the only mouthpart that is not tempted, there is no weakness in the rest.

The clamworm didn't care about it, and flew to the southwest with its head buried.

Lu Tong took a deep breath and looked at the two "sharp horns" on the silkworm's head.

Lugworms have no horns.

The double horns where the yellow light condenses should be the mouthparts, but there are no carapaces or scales where the mouthparts are located.

"call!"

He opened his mouth and blew out light gauze and broken flowers, and at the same time swung the whisk, sweeping out a large area of ​​darkness, Ban Feng and Ban Lin stepped on the broken flowers and rushed in.

"Ding! Ding!"

Banfeng swung his wings and long knife, and slashed at the sharp corner twice in a row.

"Ding!"

Ban Lin stabbed out again.

Three ripples appeared, the black light and the yellow light shook together, and some black light was dyed on the sharp corners.

"Wow!"

The sleepy salamander opened its mouth and screamed, the black light on the sharp corner continued to spread, the lines were like water waves, and after extending for a few feet, the lines suddenly changed into spider web lines.

There was a gleam in Lu Tong's eyes.

"It really is here!"

The clamworm immediately turned around and ran away.

Lu Tong took a step forward, ready to chase after him.

"The lord!"

Zhang Qiao's voice came from afar.

Lu Tong frowned.

Zhang Qiao flew over and said, "Master, Ji State has annexed Jianze State!"

The corners of Lu Tong's eyes trembled twice.

Zhang Qiao continued: "Also, Longchao Mountain has taken refuge in Jiguo. Jiguo sent a letter of credence, daring to offend Longchaoshan, just like offending Jiguo."

The worm sank underwater and fled eastward.

Lu Tong didn't make another move.

If you find a flaw, you may not be able to break through the defense; if you break through the defense, you may not be able to kill.

Zhang Qiao took out a map and said, "This is the map sent by the Dragon King."

Lu Tong spread out the map.

Longchao Mountain and Shu Kingdom are marked on the map, and a scarlet dividing line between the two is very eye-catching.

He looked at it for a long time, put away the map, and said: "Notify Yu Chao and Yong Wan that the clam worms who left the island early have retreated, and you can start enlightening the gods."

"Yes."

……

"Master, Qianquan Kingdom sent envoys to form an alliance with Liangyao Zhengguo and attack Jiguo together."

"attack?"

Lu Tong sat on the couch with a smile on his face.

Xu Xuxing sat on the futon and said, "Yes, Jiguo and Jianze have just merged into one country, which involves a lot of involvement. It is difficult to balance the interests of all parties in a short period of time. Now is a good opportunity to take the initiative to attack."

Lu Tong suppressed his smile and nodded slowly.

The benefits are bigger than the sky.

Everyone has selfishness, 1 people have 1 selfishness.When the two countries merge into one country, tens of millions of selfish interests collide and merge with each other, and there must be many frictions among them.

What Qian Quanguo said is quite right. Ji Guo seems to be in great prosperity right now, but it is also a good opportunity to make a move.

but……

Liangyao Zhengguo, Qianquan and others are also selfish.

Not long after Liangyao Zhengguo annexed Xuelian and Baoguo, what is urgently needed right now is to recuperate, not to offend powerful enemies again.

"how do you feel?"

"The disciple thinks that countries such as Qianquan are not enough to be allies."

"why?"

"Back then, when the disciples went to Qianquan and other countries, they promised many benefits in order to form an alliance. Now the disasters that come with the benefits have already arisen. If there is no accident, they will not be able to stop the country this time."

Lu Tong recalled Xu Xuxing's methods back then.

When the alliance was formed, Xu Xuxing traveled all over the world, promising the restoration of the Yi country, the expansion of the land by the public, and the support of the civil servants of the Qianquan country... As a result, the civil servants of the Qianquan country have become larger and the military strength has been weakened.

"They can't stop them, and Jiguo will continue to make further progress."

"Yes."

Lu Tong lowered his eyes, was silent for a while, and said, "Is there any chance for us there?"

Xu Xuxing seemed to have thought about this issue, and said directly: "The distance is too far, it is inconvenient to intervene, so I can only win over some families and move to Water Room City."

Lu Tong thought about it for a while, and said, "Send people to Qianquan and other countries to buy a lot of money to buy Luotian's magic weapon's sacrificial method. You will preside over this matter yourself."

"Yes."

"In addition, tell Feiyang, Shouzheng, Fengtai and other chambers of commerce that Qianquan and other countries are running out of time, and there may be an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Xu Xuxing was a little puzzled and didn't respond immediately.

Lu Tong: "Don't understand?"

"Yes. My disciple thinks that merchants are untrustworthy, and we must be careful not to disrupt the market and liaise with other countries."

"That makes sense, but..."

Lu Tong thought for a while, and said, "Do you think there is a limit to the power of one person?"

Xu Xuxing frowned and thought for a moment, and said for a moment: "Just looking at one person, the manpower is affected by many factors, and there is no fixed number. But after reaching one hundred thousand or one million, it is difficult to change the manpower."

A person has a mind of a person.

However, when one hundred thousand or one million people are under the command of one person, it is still the thought of one person.

Lu Tong shook his head, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right. The difference in manpower is whether it is for others or for oneself. For others, the manpower is limited. For oneself, the potential is infinite."

Xu Xuxing thought carefully.

Lu Tong continued: "Although I am the lord of the country, I can order millions of people with one word, but the power of these million people is limited. Only by handing over to the chamber of commerce and letting them work for themselves can we mobilize endless power."

Xu Xuxing thought for a long time, and said: "So Master spread all kinds of dharmas and encouraged people and businessmen, all for the purpose of making everyone work for himself and mobilizing endless power?"

"good."

"But doing things for oneself is not for the country. The strength of the people and the wealth of the people do not necessarily mean that the country is strong and the country is rich. Moreover, merchants only value profits, and one day traitors will also value profits. I am afraid they will not hesitate."

Lu Tong smiled wryly and said: "This is where the pass is. Whenever we do it for ourselves, we are doing it for the country. There is no distinction between inside and outside, and the top and bottom are one. At that time, even Jiguo will not be able to stop us."

Xu Xuxing fell silent again.

Lu Tong waved his hands and said, "Go down, this road is very long, think about it slowly in the future."

"Yes."

Xu Xuxing stood up and saluted, then retreated with a frown.

……

"Meet the king!"

Inside the Purple Qi Hall, Lu Tong looked at Yong Wan, looked at it twice, and said, "Is Master Yong's cultivation advanced?"

Yongyou was originally an eagle head, a snake body, and three pairs of swallow wings, but I didn't see it for more than a month, and there was a chi-long feather on the eagle's head, and a cluster of flames burned at the end of the feather.

Yonglan looked joyful, and said: "Being under the shadow of the king, the king of gods rewarded a bundle of divine fire."

After finishing speaking, he took out a square gray rock and said, "My lord, this is the "World Demon Code", which contains 37 types of ancient and modern monsters, and the rest are still being sorted out."

Lu Tong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately dodged to the side of the rock.

"Class 37?"

"Yes, those with similar blood, similar habits, and similar supernatural powers belong to one category, and each category ranges from one type to more than ten types."

Lu Tong radiated mana.

Inside the rock are layers of shale.

He turned a page.

The rock page is full of patterns and characters. On the top is a line of distorted ink, with two characters written beside it - Jinjiao.

There are two other dragons below, one of which is the iron tumor dragon that Lu Tong is very familiar with.
