"Actually, when the old lord of Xiaoyue Mountain was still there, he was so powerful that he could still intimidate Black Sand Ridge, Gale Wind Cave and Youshui River."
The Rat King continued: "However, when the old lord went out once, he encountered a strong enemy and was seriously injured. His body was destroyed. His soul escaped and he died not long after."
"The current lord of Xiaoyue Mountain is the only bloodline of the old lord."
"The reason why Xiaoyue Mountain has not been annexed over the years is simply because the three territories of Black Sand Ridge, Gale Wind Cave, and Youshui River have different ideas and are wary of each other."
Su Zimo nodded.
The three major territories were all worried that they would fight with Xiaoyue Mountain and be taken advantage of by the other party, so they delayed taking action.
But if the three major territories reach a consensus, Xiaoyue Mountain will be destroyed in an instant!
"Brothers, what are you doing when you come back?"
The Rat King asked tentatively with his little eyes darting around.
Linghu raised his chin and said in an arrogant voice: "When we come back, we will naturally take over the mountain and become the king and replace him!"
"What a fool!"
The Rat King curled his lips slightly and sneered in his heart.
In his opinion, Linghu's words must be nonsense. Just relying on a few low-level monsters like them to dominate this territory and become the king is simply a dream.
"You do not believe?"
The monkey came over, put his arm around the mouse king's shoulders, and grinned.
"Believe it, believe it!"
The Rat King trembled all over and responded with a smile.
The monkey's smile deepened and he said: "If you believe me, then come and help us. We happen to be short of manpower, and I think you are quite sensible."
The Rat King complained in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and said: "Well... the old lord has been very kind to me, and the current lord treats me well. I..."
Suddenly, the Rat King had an idea and said: "Brothers, I don't blame you for what happened at the beginning. I can clarify this matter in front of the lord."
"Several brothers have become demons. With their abilities, they may not be qualified to serve as protectors of Xiaoyue Mountain."
"good!"
Su Zimo suddenly spoke and said, "Then I'll help you."
"okay!"
The Rat King patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to intercede for you. The lord is very wise and will not care about what happened in the past.
Su Zimo nodded and said, "Well, you can go back."
The Rat King was slightly startled.
Are you going to let me go
He didn't expect that it would go so smoothly.
After being stunned for a moment, the Rat King quickly reacted, clasping his fists and saying: "Brothers, please wait here for good news, I will be back as soon as possible!"
The Rat King turned out of the cave and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Brother, are you just going to let him go?"
Linghu scratched his head and muttered: "I think this rat looks wretched and not very honest. Maybe he will turn around and lead a large group of people to surround us."
Su Zimo said meaningfully: "Let's see how they choose."
…
Ten days later.
In the cave, Su Zimo, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes, and his divine light flashed away.
Not long after, monkeys and spirit tigers also woke up from cultivation one after another.
"The mouse is back?"
The monkey's ears twitched, "It seems he is the only one."
Su Zimo nodded, stood up, and a flash of relief flashed in his eyes.
Although they still don't know the attitude of the lord of Xiaoyue Mountain, at least this mouse is not plotting against them behind their backs.
Not long after, the Rat King got into the cave, with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands and saying, "Hey, luckily you have fulfilled your destiny. Brothers, please come with me to see the lord!"
"good."
Su Zimo responded immediately.
"happy!"
The Rat King sighed in admiration and said: "Brother, don't think too much. The position of protector is high and powerful after all. The lord also wants to meet several of them in person before he can make a decision."
"It's natural."
Su Zimo nodded.
Afterwards, Su Zimo and the other two followed the Rat King out of the cave and headed straight to the center of Xiaoyue Mountain.
Under the leadership of the Rat King, although Su Zimo and the other five were a little embarrassed, they made their way smoothly and soon arrived in front of a cave in the center of Xiaoyue Mountain.
The spirit tiger and the little fox were quite curious and looked around along the way.
Su Zimo looked calm.
Ten days ago, his soul left his body and he had been here before. Now, it can only be regarded as a return visit to his old place.
"Brothers, follow me."
The Rat King was the first to enter the cave, followed closely by Su Zimo and the other five.
As soon as I entered the cave, my eyes suddenly lit up.
The cave is quite wide, and the walls on all four sides are inlaid with fist-sized beads, which emit bright light and are very majestic.
"Tsk, tsk."
Linghu's eyes shone when he saw it, and he wished he could go up and pick off all these night-bright pearls and put them into his pocket.
"presumptuous!"
At this moment, a loud shout sounded.
Everyone looked around and saw not far ahead, a dark-faced man with a golden sword sitting in the middle, expressionless, looking at them.
Su Zimo had seen this person and naturally knew that this was Hei Lang, the lord of Xiaoyue Mountain.
Under Hei Lang's left hand, there was a woman wearing white gauze sitting there, sitting there quietly without raising her head. She was the deputy lord of Xiaoyue Mountain, Cicada Ruyi!
The scolding just now was not coming from the two of them.
Behind the black wolf, there was a strong man standing.
Eyes like copper bells, ten feet tall, burly and strong, with bronze-colored muscles bulging out on his bare arms, like rocks!
The strong man spoke again, with great momentum, and shouted: "If you see the two lords, why don't you come over to pay your respects!"
The Rat King quickly whispered: "This is the chief protector of Xiaoyue Mountain. His name is Tongniu. He is the most powerful. Brothers, it is best not to offend him!"
The monkey looked unruly and curled his lips.
Su Zimo and the other five remained motionless.
"Um?"
Tongniu's eyes narrowed and he became furious. Just as he was about to explode, the black wolf sitting in front waved his hand.
Tongniu panted heavily and endured it for the time being. He just stared at Su Zimo and the other five with unkind expressions.
From the moment he entered the cave, Hei Lang was sizing up Su Zimo and the other five with captivating eyes.
You know, he is a mid-level demon and a lord. He exudes powerful pressure and aura, which ordinary monsters cannot bear.
Most people will kneel on the ground and come forward to pay their respects.
But he didn't see any fear or timidity on the faces of the five people in front of him.
Even facing two lords.
Even when facing two mid-level monsters!
The most special thing was that the red-haired man at the head dared to look at him, with a calm expression and calm eyes, without any embarrassment or uneasiness!
"interesting."
Black Wolf smiled in his heart.
Even Chan Ruyi raised his head and took a special look at Su Zimo.
"You killed my two great protectors, and you dared to come here yourself. You are really not afraid that I will take action to suppress you!" After a while, Hei Lang spoke slowly, his eyes widening, and suddenly he became murderous.
Before Su Zimo could react, the Rat King was startled and said hurriedly: "Lord, didn't we agree before that bygones are bygones, you, you..."
Hei Lang looked cold and said quietly: "I regretted it, can't I?"
The Rat King was speechless and sweating profusely.
