"This problem is difficult for me." Ye Wudi also frowned, unable to grasp the clue for a moment and not knowing where to start. He picked up a bamboo chair and walked outside.
"Come outside with grandpa, and I'll tell you slowly."
Ye Congwen saw that the old patriarch was so solemn, it must be a long, long story. He quickly picked a bench and followed him out.
The rising sun rises in the east, and the sunlight falls on the golden leaves, making the mountains look like two golden dragons, winding and shining.
Ye Wudi stared blankly at the boundless, seemingly endless mountains, and asked curiously:
"Xiao Congwen, do you think this mountain range has an end? Where does it end, and what is hidden in it?"
Ye Congwen tried his best to look around, but saw that the distance was completely hazy, and even the mountain peaks seemed to disappear into the mist. Where else could he see anything else? He shook his head to express that he didn't know.
"The land under our feet is called Pangea. It is vast. It is said to be hundreds of thousands of miles long from east to west, and even wider from north to south. We mortals may not be able to reach the end of it in our lifetime.
Nanman, Beidi, Xiwu, and Dongxia Kingdom. Our Tieta Village is just a small village in the Great Xia Dynasty. There are towns, counties, and counties in it, with a population of more than several billion!
You see, there may be an unparalleled monster hidden under the out-of-reach fog. You may not be able to see it, but that doesn’t mean it can’t see you. It’s just that we are too weak, just like elephants who don’t care about what’s under our feet.
Like ants.
The creek below our feet seems calm and clear, but once it flows into the deep lake, the lake is wider than our country in Daxia. Who knows how many strange scales are in it?
There is also this impenetrable sky, where demon birds live in the nine heavens, and divine birds build nests. Legend has it that the demon birds spread their wings and cover the sky and the sun. Although I have never seen it in my life, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and there must be some basis for it.
.
According to ancient records written by our ancestors, after so many years, the four countries had joined forces to barely block the invasion of monsters, monsters, and birds. This was even when the three races were attacking and fighting each other.
You can imagine how powerful these three innate gods are."
Southern Barbarians, Northern Di Western Witches, Warcraft, Monsters and Birds with Strange Scales? Ye Congwen has never heard anyone mention them or seen them in books?
"What does this have to do with the Battlefield of Beasts?"
"To give a simple analogy: the Daxia Dynasty was surrounded by the Southern Barbarians and Beidi Xiwu, but these four kingdoms overlapped and intertwined with the habitats of monsters, monsters and birds, just like the mountains in front of us, the rivers at our feet, and the sky above our heads.
They are all the minions, tentacles and media of the three innate gods.
The mountains and old forests cover your eyes, and there are monsters in places you can't see; the vast green lakes have strange scales swimming at the bottom of the pools; and the endless sky has monster birds that block the sun from time to time.
It's just that this kind of scene appears in inaccessible places, so you and I have never seen it. But you have to know that we humans can't live without water, we can't hunt without mountains, and we can't set up nets in the sky.
The three major gods are sneaking around, disappearing and reappearing, often coming and going without a trace, and they are cruel in nature. They slaughter villages and cities at every turn. If they succeed in one attack, they can suddenly escape thousands of miles away.
It's impossible to catch up at human speed.

, what should we do? We can only take the initiative to set up defenses, set up the battlefield at the border, place it in the hiding place of the gods, gather the most powerful warriors of mankind, and ignite the flames of war in deserted places, so as to protect ordinary people who have no power to fight back.
.
These powerful warriors are called Demon Hunters, and the place where the battle took place has been called the Battlefield of Beasts since ancient times because our state capital is adjacent to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range."
"That's it!" After listening to the old patriarch's description, Ye Congwen suddenly realized that it involved such an unheard-of thing, so he had to move a stool and talk slowly.
“Since the beginning of the world, this world has been ruled by three major groups of gods:
The water is controlled by alien scales, the overlord of the land is the monster, and the sky is the territory of the monster bird. However, these three places are interdependent, and they are mutually exclusive. They are so intertwined that it is difficult to distinguish between you and me.
In order to compete for territory, the three major divine races have been fighting all year round, providing us humans with opportunities to reproduce. Compared with the three major divine races, which often take hundreds of thousands of years to mature and reproduce, we humans are much more powerful. Before and after the divine bird hatches a young child.
It will take one or two hundred years, and we humans will already have five generations under one roof.
With our strong reproductive capacity, we humans have finally gained a foothold. However, no matter how many ants there are, elephants will not take them seriously and will knock you back to their original shape with just a few kicks.
Just like this, they reproduced and expanded, expanded and multiplied. Once they invaded the core territory of the gods, they turned back and were beaten back to their original shape. In this way, human beings have survived a long time.
After countless expansions and destructions, mankind finally realized that only by uniting and resisting the enemy together can we survive this war.
Finally, one day, the big clan united with the small clan, and the small country merged into the big country, divided the labor, and selected the most powerful people to form a escort team to deal with the gods and protect the safety of the human race. They are now the Demon Hunters, Demon Exorcists, and Scale Controllers.
.”
"Where do such various names come from? It makes people's heads spin!"
There were too many nouns at the time, and Ye Congwen complained dissatisfiedly as if he was falling into the clouds.
"It doesn't matter what you call it. Anyway, they are professionals who deal with the three major divine clans. This is a secret of our clan that has been passed down from generation to generation. Only the clan leader has the right to know it. Telling it to you is already a violation of the rules. Aren't you satisfied?
?”
Ye Wudi cursed a little depressedly, is it because my eloquence is too poor and my language is so disorganized that Xiao Congwen can't understand it?
After thinking about this, I suddenly felt that this was damaging to the image of the most cultural person in Tieta Village, so I said with a long face:
"This is also the reason why the truth is not told to ordinary people! Firstly, I am afraid that they will be worried and miss the main business and affect the normal order of life. Secondly, even you, who have been in school for seven or eight years, do not understand. It is necessary to
Tell it to ordinary people who don’t know a word?”
"That's right! Telling ordinary people will only cause chaos. To deal with this kind of monster, ten thousand farmers are not as effective as one demon hunting guard."
Ye Congwen thought of the man in white from yesterday. He was so powerful!
"Grandpa Patriarch, do you know what magical skills the Demon Hunting Guards have learned, and how can they become so powerful?"
"After working on it for a long time, it turns out that you are thinking about other people's magical magic!" Ye Wudi smiled with sudden realization.
"This grandpa is powerless. If grandpa knew one or two magical arts, we wouldn't have to stay in this mountain valley."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Ori, with our burly and strong bodies, if we learn those magical arts again, we would not dare to think of becoming a king, but hereditary inheritance for one or two small counties is certainly not a problem."
"Be granted the title of king and lord, and be hereditary to the county?"
Ye Congwen was confused by the old patriarch's words. What did he mean?
"In war, people will die. If there is no compensation or reward, who will be motivated after a long time?
In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, a clear reward system is naturally needed. It just so happens that our Daxia Dynasty has a vast territory and there is plenty of land. As long as the military exploits are outstanding, a town and half a county will be rewarded from time to time.
Think about it, if the 10,000 acres of fertile land in the southern suburbs of the county belongs to our Tieta Village, and collecting rent every year is enough for us, why would we need to risk our lives to go hunting in the Hundred Beasts Mountains?"
Ye Congwen nodded with deep feeling. Although the Huaye and Huaye tribes are tall and powerful, but as the saying goes, there is no one who doesn’t get his shoes wet when walking along the river. Minor injuries and pains are commonplace, and even half-dead injuries are common.
It happens from time to time that only half of the people of the entire Huaye clan who are uncles are still capable of hunting, and the grandfathers are even worse, with only the old clan leader left.
If one could own a thousand acres of land like the landlord in Mudouya's brother-in-law's village, not to rent it to others, but to grow one's own food, there would be no problem in having enough food and clothing.
Suddenly something came to mind, and he broke out in cold sweat. Seeing that Ye Wudi had not seen it, he quickly wiped it with his sleeves and asked uneasily:
"According to your opinion, the wealthy businessmen and landlords in the county are all practitioners of magical arts with great military exploits. Otherwise, how could they have been allocated so much fertile land?"
"That's not necessarily true. It's possible only for a family with ten thousand acres of fertile land. After all, the Demon Hunter Guard's land enfeoffment rights are based on ten thousand acres."
For the sake of safety, Ye Congwen decided to ask clearly:
"Is there no one from the three aristocratic families who has even mastered carp touching?"
“What is carp touching?”
"Oh, they are the three most powerful families in the county, Mo, Lin, and Yu."
"These three families are the most powerful in Wanquan County. Naturally, there are people who have practiced the magic of demon hunting and guarding. As far as I know, some families have more than one person——"
"Which family has more than one person? Is it the Mo family?"
Ye Congwen didn't wait for the old patriarch to finish speaking, and interrupted impatiently, with an anxious look on his face, and stood up.
I was extremely frightened. A man in white was tough enough. He could even kill a rhino-horned elephant weighing 50,000 kilograms. What would be the consequences if this kind of magic were used on ordinary people?
"The Mo family is the oldest among the three families, has existed the longest, and is also the oldest and most successful ancient family. If we count the total number of people, there are not ten, nor less than eight!
Xiao Congwen, why are you sweating? It’s quite cool in the morning.”
Every time the old patriarch said something, Ye Congwen felt a bead of sweat escape from his body. The more he reminded himself to calm down and not panic, the more he couldn't stop sweating.
A white-clothed divine magic can kill a rhinoceros-horned elephant alive. If ten or eight of them come, I really don’t know how Tieta Village will deal with it. This time the disaster is really big. No wonder Fatty Mo dares to tease Mudouya, he is really confident.
