When the old man heard the words "Jialuo Mountain", he showed a surprised expression. The devil noticed his evasive eyes and thought that the old man must know something.
"I don't know very well. I heard that the terrain there is rugged and very desolate. Although there are no wild beasts, the land there is too barren and has no development value. Naturally, no one lives there. There is nothing else but mountains.
That’s it.”
"Well, it's just like what I heard."
The Demon King nodded.
The short old man felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at the Demon King in confusion and asked, "Sir, are you going to Nagara Mountain?"
"Well, you can also see that we are just some weak demons. After a battle with the orc army, we are now going to take shelter in Mount Jialuo." The demon king said.
Hearing this, the old man murmured something about war again. He slowly lowered his head and sighed.
"Hey, it's not easy for you either. In this world, it's hard for weak races to survive."
"Yes, so we are united."
The Demon King nodded.
The old man smiled and said nothing. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and the desert camel carrying luggage made a grunting sound as it approached.
"It seems that my old friend has eaten and drank enough. It's time for me to set off. Thank you for your hospitality, sir. I can't repay you. I'd like you to accept it. If you get lost in the mountains,
You can just follow the pointer and you'll be able to walk out naturally."
He took out a small metal round box. Under the glass was a disc with scales and a red pointer pointing south.
"Thank you and wish you a safe journey."
The devil took the compass given by the old man and said with a smile. Then the old man rode a camel, put on the round hat, and continued towards the desert.
"Lord Demon King, do we really want to go to Mount Jialuo? What if those orcs come back now?"
Lie Hu on the side said worriedly.
"It's okay, that guy is here, nothing will happen."
"Then, does this old human really know nothing? I feel like he is hiding something."
The devil nodded and said, "He is indeed lying."
"Then!! How about I go catch him back?" Lie Hu said nervously.
"No, no need, he will lead the way for us."
The Demon King showed a mysterious smile and looked at the delicate compass in his palm.
"Things are getting interesting. You know, you just said something wrong."
Hearing this, Lie Hu was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "I am stupid and I don't know what I said wrong. Please enlighten me, Lord Demon King."
"That guy is not an old man."
"What!"
At the same time, the old man riding the camel put his hand on his chin and tore it hard. The beard on his face was suddenly pulled off, and the wrinkles on his face miraculously disappeared, replaced by a delicate look.
face.
Sure enough, he was not an old man, but a man in his twenties or thirties. The oasis behind him had been covered by countless sand dunes. He looked back and then stopped.
"It's troublesome. The army actually escaped here. We have to go back before them. Let's go, old man."
After saying that, he pulled the reins, changed direction, and headed north.
However, the Demon King in the oasis slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Liehu and said, "We have rested enough. Let the soldiers prepare and move on."
"Now? Yes, but you didn't mean in the evening..."
"That was just what I said to the other party. Now, he is leading the way for us."
The corners of the Demon King's mouth were slightly curved, Lie Hu understood, and he immediately said:
"Yes! I will ask the soldiers to prepare now!"
…
A camel running in the desert climbed up a high sand dune. Suddenly, the man on its back pulled away a rope on the camel's saddle. Suddenly, the two luggage bags on the left and right opened, and something like cloth stretched out with a bang.
When it came out, it turned into wings like insects. There was only a buzzing sound. The wings vibrated at an extremely fast frequency, and it actually took the camel to fly into the wind.
The mysterious man wearing a round hat pulled two ropes from the camel's saddle. He controlled the direction and flew towards the northern mountains against the strong wind blowing from the mountains.
However, what he didn't know was that an army was following closely behind him.
"Lord Demon King, the footprints have disappeared!"
Lie Hu, who was exploring the road ahead, ran back in panic. When he saw the footprints suddenly deflecting, he was so excited. The half-horse tribe likes to track their prey very much. This is their nature.
The Demon King came to the high sand dune unhurriedly. Sure enough, the line of camel footprints on the sand suddenly disappeared. No one would have thought that a camel could fly. No wonder Lie Hu was so surprised. This was beyond the limit.
its scope of understanding.
"This proves that we are almost at the entrance. Keep going straight and keep heading into the mountain in this direction."
"yes!"
The Demon King continued to move forward with the team. He suddenly waved his hand forward, and the figures of everyone gradually disappeared, but they could still be seen at close range. This was his little magic that could make enemies in the distance see them.
You can't see them. After all, the other party is so cautious, maybe someone in the mountains will be watching.
They headed in the direction of the footprints, and soon walked out of the desert and came to the foot of a stone mountain. The sun just set. The soldiers had worked hard for a day and were all exhausted. The desert was very cold at night, so they found
A camp was stationed in a leeward place, and a burning bonfire lit up a place at the foot of the mountain. The logistics troops were cooking dinner. In order to resist the cold, the chefs added more chili peppers to the pot.
The cold wind blew, and the spicy smell drifted to the mountains with the wind.
"Wow, what does this smell like? It smells so good!" came a sharp voice, like a man's voice.
"Focus! This may be a trap! Don't smell it. Whoosh, uh... cough, cough, it does smell good." The other voice was also high-pitched, but deeper than the previous one.
"I'm suddenly hungry. Damn it, I really want to take a bite. I'm fed up with those hard food bars. I want to eat meat. Hey, hey? That's the taste of broth. Hey, why don't we use the invisibility cloak to sneak in
land……"
"Stop! Don't make mistakes! Focus on the task."
Two voices came from a rock on the mountain, but they were still a long way from the troops at the foot of the mountain. Even the Ketu tribe with keen hearing could not hear these discussions.
"We have the obligation to drive them away anyway, so why not scare them away with the horrific incident of mysterious disappearance of food."
"You just want to steal it! Those people are the army after all. If we let them enter our territory, we will be in trouble!"
"What! Aren't they just a small army beaten to pieces by orcs? What are you afraid of?"
"Yes, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of."
"Listen, this dear friend thinks so too, let's go, eh!!"
At this moment, the sound suddenly stopped, and a black figure appeared behind the rock. Under the moonlight, the man had a pair of devil-like horns on his head.
"You two might as well come out and talk."
Demon King Richard smiled and looked at the rock in front of him. It was not big and looked like an ordinary rock.
The surroundings were quiet for a long time, and the two voices did not appear until the devil bent down and grabbed the rock. Suddenly he raised his hand, and the rock suddenly changed. It turned out to be a magical blanket, with a small pit underneath.
