It's not feasible to use gold to hire troops. It's not that gold doesn't work, but that Xia Yi can't do such a thing.

This is China, not Europe. Europe has mercenaries who will help you fight for money, but China does not have such arms. If you want an army, you can only ask the emperor, and the emperor will never agree.

However, there are other ways to use gold to lure the army to attack without arousing the emperor's resistance.

Walking around the mountains with Su Xue, Xia Yi turned the stones, trees, flowers and plants encountered on the road into pieces of gold.

If you want to get this gold, you need to enter Wushan. If you enter Wushan, you will encounter snake people.

In this way, those gold diggers will spontaneously deal with the snake people.

After counting the gold in a mountain range, Xia Yi went to a nearby town, found a group of hunters, and paid them to bring back the body of a snake man.

The hunters who entered the mountains saw the gold left by Xia Yi. After they came back, word spread that there was gold in Wushan.

Xia Yi and Su Xue stayed in the house for two days when they heard the news that the emperor had withdrawn the troops stationed in the border areas and sent all the soldiers to Wushan.

Those nomads outside the Great Wall have no money even if they win. The gold in Wushan is real.

The scout team has already investigated Wushan and determined that gold is not an accident. There is gold almost everywhere in Wushan.

Not only the emperor was moved, but the generals and soldiers were also very moved.

Although civil servants consider themselves noble, they also covet gold very much.

The plan to attack Wushan encountered no obstacles. The emperor broke up the army and divided it into small teams. Each team was paired with an experienced hunter and let them enter the mountains.

Xia Yi and Su Xue left Bai Xiang behind and settled at the foot of Wushan Mountain, watching what was going on in the mountain.

Snake people are physically strong. Ordinary soldiers are no match for snake people five to one. Especially when they reach the depths of the mountains, snake people also begin to form groups. Bows and arrows are difficult to use in the forest, and the soldiers suffer heavy losses.

In order to prevent the emperor from retreating, Xia Yi and Su Xue took out the hand crossbows.

With the small and convenient hand crossbows, the soldiers' combat effectiveness increased. In addition, they already had a set of effective experience in killing snake people. The number of snake people in Wushan was rapidly decreasing.

Not only the soldiers, but also the people nearby also found ways to enter the mountains and work hard for gold.

A month passed like this, and almost all the snake people in the Wushan Mountains were killed.

The remaining snakemen are all well hidden. The mountains are so big that it is difficult for ordinary people to find them.

Xia Yi and Su Xue used detection spells to find the hiding snake people one by one.

"The last one is ahead." Su Xue said to Xia Yi while leading the way.

"I wonder what will happen after killing them all." Xia Yi was curious.

The two came to a tree, and Su Xue looked up.

"It's up there, you coming or me?" the girl asked.

"I'll do it." Xia Yi took off the hand crossbow from his waist and looked at the tree crown.

The canopy of the tree is so dense that you can't see what's inside. The last snake man is hiding in it.

It is hard to imagine that a snake man would hide on a branch, but this is just a normal operation. Xia Yi and Su Xue have also seen people hiding in water, hiding in caves, burying themselves in the soil, and others being

The hunter tied up the snake man at home.

Holding up his crossbow, Xia Yi shot blindly at the tree crown.

The snake man hiding in the canopy remains motionless. As soon as he moves, the leaves will shake and his location will be discovered.

As a snake man who survives to the end, he is a rare wise man.

These weird creatures are a little bit more powerful with the sticks in their hands. As long as I see the right moment, I can kill them all at once!

After planning in his mind, the snake man took advantage of Xia Yi to finish shooting the arrow, jumped down from the tree crown, and pounced on Xia Yi.

Xia Yi raised his hand crossbow and hit the snake man's head hard. The hand crossbow shattered, and the snake man's skull also shattered.

Before dying, the snake man looked at the hand crossbow in Xia Yi's hand.

It turns out that it is not only a long-range attack prop, but can also be used for melee combat!

Throwing away the broken hand crossbow, Xia Yi looked at the body of the snake man on the ground. The snake man had the head of a snake and the body of a human. Now, its head has changed.

The snake's head rotated 360 degrees and fell off the body. It turns out that the human body is just a container. The snake man is a creature that is a combination of a big snake and its tail stuffed into the neck of the human body.

The big snake pulled out its tail from the human body's neck, glanced at Xia Yi and Su Xue, and quickly swam away.

Its speed is very fast, and Xia Yi and Su Xue cannot catch up without showing their special power.

However, Su Xue still had the detection spell, and the two of them followed the big snake to a cave.

At the entrance of the cave, Xia Yi and Su Xue saw the body of the big snake.

"All snake people come from one existence. After all the other snake people die, this one becomes a unified body, which is this big snake." Su Xue and Xia Yi explained, "Now

This big snake has also died, which means that its true body has come out."

The two of them entered the depths of the cave and saw an ice crystal that was a hundred meters high in the huge underground space.

Frozen in the ice crystal is a hundred-meter-long green snake.

The giant snake's eyes were still open, and its scarlet eyes were frightening.

Is this the snake sealed in this world?

Judging from the black mud released by the snake at the end, this may be an ancient demon.

Combined with the blue flames spit out by the green snake before, this is the "Princess Qing" who we had a relationship with before?

Xia Yi also has a [Green Snake Fate], which he got from Princess Qing.

The previous boss, Qing Xingdeng, was also a good friend of Princess Qing.

Unexpectedly, it was imprisoned here.

So what should we do next? The ancient demon must not be allowed to stay, kill her?

If the opponent was so easy to kill, he wouldn't be sealed in the world of sea beasts.

If you don't kill him, once the world of sea beasts dissipates, the opponent will break the seal and summon black mud.

Do you want to give up on this sea beast world?

As long as the strategy is not completed, the sea beast world will not disappear, and the green snake will not break the seal.

However, if the strategy is not completed, the underworld will not join forces with the real world.

Although Xia Yi felt that the underworld had probably expected this and that this was the conspiracy of the underworld, her obsessive-compulsive disorder made Xia Yi feel very uncomfortable if she did not complete this task perfectly.

It is also the best plan to solve the world of sea beasts so that even if there is a conspiracy in the underworld, it cannot be carried out.

After determining the direction of her efforts, Xia Yi looked at Su Xue and asked her if there was anything she could do.

Su Xue used spells to conduct detection and showed a surprised look: "This guy is an ancient demon. How could the ancient demon appear here?"

"Since the ancient demon can go to the present world, isn't it normal to come to the underworld?" Xia Yi said.

"There is nothing strange about coming to the underworld, but this is an illusory world of sea beasts. This piece of ice is also a seal. This ancient demon did not run in by himself, but was sealed by someone."

Xia Yi had already guessed Su Xue's conclusion, and he was not surprised at all.

"So what should we do with her now?" Xia Yi asked.

"Once the sea beast world is successfully solved, this seal will be broken. An ancient monster with a complete spirit is not something I can deal with."

Before the ancient demon entered the underworld, he abandoned his body in this world and his spirit in the underworld.

Normally speaking, the ancient monsters that come to the world are the products of the remaining spirits scattered in the world, plus a little body. Their strength is not high, and they are about the same as the strongest demon slayers.

The ancient demon in front of her has found its complete spirit and its strength has greatly increased. Su Xue is no match for it.

In fact, it has no effect on the opponent. The Green Snake will summon black mud, and it can only be useful if the black mud is solved.

Rich girls can't count on anything, so they have to work hard on their own.

Try communication and deception first.

At least let the other party let you and Su Xue out first, and then summon Hei Ni.

No, Black Mud was summoned and the underworld perished, so his work was in vain.

Wait, the black mud was not summoned in the underworld, but in the sea beast world. Which world will the black mud summoned in this way swallow up?

Xia Yi thought about the sigh he heard in the iceberg again.

Is this a conspiracy to extradite people? The purpose is to let the green snake summon black mud in the world of sea beasts?

If you think about something you don't understand, put it aside for now and wait until you go out to verify it.

The more important thing now is how to escape the dissipation of the world of sea beasts and the black mud that will swallow you up.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yi looked into Green Snake's eyes and used [Charm].

An icy blue light appeared on the ice wrapping the green snake, and the charm failed.

This seal actually protects the sealer inside!

[Charm] was ineffective, Xia Yi thought of other methods, and he opened the [Personal Panel].
