"There are billions of races in the upper world, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. Which race has come to compete with our race for this underground space?" A giant rat demon wearing a purple robe, with a dark face and a flat moon between his eyebrows, took the lead in offering his hand. asked.
Nie Yuan looked at this man, suddenly startled, and then couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Dong Shi followed his example and ended up here!
He knew it well and asked deliberately: "I wonder, how do you call this sir?"
"I am Bao Cheng. I hold the position of Minister of Law. You can just call me Minister Bao." The dark giant rat demon said with a full beard and a pretentious attitude.
"Oh, it turns out to be Minister Bao. I'm disrespectful." Nie Yuan returned the greeting with his hands raised.
"It's easy to talk about. I would also like to ask Commander Nie to answer my question." Bao Cheng said seriously.
Sure enough, I took the bait. Just now I was a treacherous traitor, and now I have become Military Advisor Nie...
Nie Yuan felt happy, and then said calmly: "If you want me to tell you the answer, please ask the new king to agree to three conditions."
"How presumptuous! You traitor, you don't want to be punished and meritorious service, yet you dare to threaten the king!" A group of giant rat demon officials reprimanded one after another.
"Quiet!" Bai Shixin reached out and pressed down, and the hall became quiet again.
"Please tell me and listen."
"First, forgive me for my previous sin of rebellion."
"Second, give me a territory of about 10,000 square kilometers."
"Third, give me a gold medal to avoid death."
"Arrogant!"
"greedy!"
"It's better to push him out and kill him!" a group of ministers said indignantly.
Bao Cheng didn't say anything. He frowned, and the crescent moon between his eyebrows was deformed.
"I'm sure, you can say it now." Bai Shixin stretched out his hand again to stop the noise of the ministers.
After looking at it, Nie Yuan felt awe-inspiring in his heart.
He had to admit that he was far from the master in controlling people's hearts.
The other party is obviously a loser in cultivation, but he can still make so many people loyal. What kind of magic is used to confuse people's hearts
What a shame, the pile of books he stole earlier was intercepted halfway by Knight A, and he got a beating for nothing.
Otherwise, you can learn this method of controlling people's hearts by yourself, and you don't have to fight alone.
He suppressed his thoughts and replied slowly: "This tribe that is about to come down is a famous underground race in the upper world... the earthworm tribe. The origin of their tribe was originally a big earthworm in the underground. There are more things, I I think the master should know better than me."
"Earthworm clan?" Many ministers looked at each other and their king.
Bai Shixin's face turned cold and his brows furrowed.
"It is indeed a difficult enemy. Please retreat first. I will not forget what I promised you."
"Haha, I naturally believe in Master's promise." Nie Yuan smiled and exited the hall.
As soon as he left, the hall became noisy.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is the background of this Earthworm clan?" Bao Cheng said first.
"Mr. Bao, you are all local giant rats turned monsters, and you know very little about things in the upper world," Bai Shixin said lightly, "The biggest characteristic of this Earthworm clan is that they are 'all united as one'."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by 'all people are united'?" Bao Cheng asked.
"The traitor just now said that their family originated from a great earthworm that achieved enlightenment. Although ordinary earthworms are hermaphrodites, they also reproduce cross-breeding. However, this one is different. The only one who achieved enlightenment is it. Naturally, it can no longer compete with those ordinary earthworms. Similar species reproduce. So it adopted a method..." Bai Shixin paused deliberately.
"What method?" The ministers immediately asked.
Bai Shixin didn't say anything, just looked down...
The ministers were suddenly stunned, and then they understood. It seemed that the king was quite worried about them, and he didn't even say it clearly.
This method of reproduction is really strange. If ordinary earthworms do this, the mortality rate is actually very high. It does not mean that cutting into two parts can successfully turn into two earthworms. There are many restrictions.
Only this kind of earthworm, probably with stronger regenerative power, can cut itself into two pieces and still live separately.
"My lord, if one becomes two, what is the relationship between the next two and the original one? Are they still one cultivator, or are they two different cultivators?" Bao Cheng asked curiously.
"To put it this way, the section near the head is still the previous cultivator, and the section near the tail is a brand new cultivator. They come from the same source, and their centripetal force is so strong that no other clan can compare. Not even a single defeat." Bai Shixin seemed to be frightened.
"Oh, in that case, aren't they and our clan natural rivals?" someone said worriedly.
"It's unclear who will win," Bai Shixin said coldly.
"Your Majesty, our clan has just recovered from the turmoil and its vitality has been severely damaged. If we make an enemy of such a fierce and fearless race, we may suffer heavy losses. It would be better to invite foreign aid." An important minister said with his hand.
"Well, our clan does not have strong opponents, which is a major flaw after all. If the ancestor is still there..." A giant rat demon wearing a white robe and a scholarly look frowned.
In times of crisis, someone will always think of the time when the ancestors of the Bai family were in power. At least then, they never had to worry about foreign invasion.
"Fan Zhong, you made a mistake." Someone reminded.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, Fan Zhong is guilty." The white-robed giant rat demon hurriedly rushed to the high platform and bowed deeply.
"You're right. What's the use of it?" Bai Shixin waved his hand and continued, "You don't have to worry about this. Soldiers will stop them, and water will cover them. I have a clever plan to ensure that they can't threaten us."
"Your Majesty is wise."
… …
Three days later, in the Sahara Desert, the black jade people lived.
"Great Elder, we're here for business!" In front of a low shack, a strong dark man shouted towards the inside.
Behind him, there was a man wrapped in black cloth, male or female.
"What's the fuss about?" An extremely old man in white robe and red hat came out of the shack slowly.
"Great Elder, this is the foreign minister from the Giant Rat Kingdom. His name is Li Zhang. He wants to negotiate a big deal with us." The strong man said excitedly.
"Oh, it turns out to be the famous minister of the Giant Rat Kingdom. Please sit inside. The room is indecent, so I hope the minister won't be offended." The great elder extended his hand and said.
"Haha, it's better to be on the ground after all than us underground." Li Zhang said with a smile.
"It's easy to talk," the three of them stooped into the shack and sat down respectively.
"I wonder why Mr. Li came to this remote place of our clan?" the great elder asked curiously.
"Haha, borrow troops." Li Zhang said simply.
"Very good. It seems that you also know the reputation of our clan. Our clan lives by fighting. I wonder what price you want to pay?" the great elder said calmly.
"It's fair. If you die in battle, we will provide you with 10 things that can give birth to 10 soldiers. As for how much you need to give birth to one soldier, just give us a list. And one soldier and one month of military pay can at least be enough It supports the daily needs of 10 black jade people." Li Zhang said without any secret.
"This price is quite fair." The great elder smiled slightly.
And the dark-skinned man beside him who was leading the way was already overjoyed.
When fighting in the upper realm, not many people can pay this price. They often only offer 3 or 5 people, and very few give 10 people.
