Chapter 386

At dusk, Xu Que and the three thousand Snow City soldiers, having taken three ancient cities in a row, finally arrived outside the fourth ancient city—Yunling City!

Just like the previous tactics, Xu Que almost didn't need to command, as the three thousand Snow City soldiers were already able to use that batch of weapons to lay siege to the city!

Although the city walls of Yunling City also had defensive arrays, they still couldn't withstand the terrifying power generated by so many explosives detonating at the same time, and were eventually shattered.

Xu Que once again performed the Killing God Sword, sneaked into the city, and killed the City Lord directly. He also shocked the whole scene, causing the remaining small commanders of Canhai City to surrender one after another.

In the final analysis, they didn't intend to betray the Empress from the beginning; they were just following the trend and obeying the City Lord's orders.

Now that the City Lord was dead, this group of people lost their reliance and source of profit. It was impossible for them to persist in betraying, so they naturally took the steps to surrender and logically returned to the Water Yuan Kingdom.

So Xu Que took people to ransack the City Lord's Mansion again. The same method, the same words, even the three thousand Snow City soldiers learned it.

A group of people rushed aggressively to the City Lord's Mansion, knocked on the door loudly, and shouted loudly: "Fellow villager, open the door, we are here to check the water meter! We absolutely won't take a single needle or thread!"

With a "creak", the door opened!

Everyone swarmed up, civilizedly took down the City Lord's Mansion, and stayed in the mansion!

After all, taking four ancient cities in a row in one day was a terrifying record that had never been seen before and might never be seen again. Plus, night had fallen, so Xu Que decided to let everyone rest for a night and continue the battle the next day!

And Er Gou finally got its wish, asking Xu Que for a tank and a helicopter, and played wildly outside Yunling City for a night.

But to Xu Que's surprise, he hadn't taught Er Gou how to operate the tank and helicopter at all, yet this guy actually figured it out by itself, saying it learned it from watching others operate it during the day, and it drove it quite decently outside the city!

This made Xu Que a bit surprised. Er Gou's IQ was clearly hopeless, so how could it learn things so quickly, and how could its aptitude be so terrifying?

"Er Gou, where exactly do you come from?" He began to probe, wanting to find out Er Gou's background.

Er Gou was busy playing with the tank and didn't have much defense against Xu Que, so it replied directly: "This God Venerable is a descendant of the Ancient Demon Dragon, having lived for six lives. After three more lives, I will be perfect and transform into a dragon!"

Xu Que's mouth twitched instantly, not believing Er Gou's words. After all, it had said this countless times before.

But looking at Er Gou's appearance now, it didn't seem like it was lying!

"Could it be true?" Xu Que couldn't help but be suspicious.

Er Gou had sharp ears and heard Xu Que's muttering, so it was instantly unhappy, widened its two big eyeballs, and said: "Of course it's true. This God Venerable has encountered a bottleneck in this life, but if I transition to the next life, I can transform into a fierce tiger! The kind that is incomparably fierce!"

"How can I not believe it!" Xu Que rolled his eyes, not wanting to talk about these absurd things with Er Gou anymore.

Transforming into a wolf and then a tiger, it was too bizarre!

Xu Que turned around, preparing to go back to the city to sleep.

But just as he took a step, he suddenly paused, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and his expression changed slightly!

Since ancient times, there had been a legend about the Nine Sons of the Dragon!

There were many versions of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, and the most widely circulated one was the nine sons in "Huailu Tang Collection": Qiuniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Bixi, Bian, Fuxi, and Chiwen.

This didn't match Er Gou's background at all, so Xu Que didn't think much of it at first.

But just now, he suddenly remembered another version of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, from "Life'an Waiji", which described: Bixi, shaped like a turtle and likes to carry heavy loads, which is the turtle under the stele; Chiwen, shaped like a beast, likes to look out, standing on the roof ridge; Taotie, likes to eat, standing on the tripod lid; Gongfu, likes to stand, standing on the bridge pillar; Jiaotu, looks like a snail or clam, likes to close, standing at the door; Jinni, shaped like a lion, likes smoke and fire, standing on the incense burner; plus Pulao, Bian, and Yazi, which makes exactly the Nine Sons of the Dragon.

Taotie appeared in it, and this ancient fierce beast was also listed among the nine sons.

And Taotie looks like a wolf, likes to eat, and its head was carved as a decoration on many bell and tripod vessels in ancient times. Moreover, the legendary Taotie is particularly gluttonous, so the ancients called people who are greedy for food or even greedy for wealth "Taotie followers".

Looking at Er Gou's appearance now, it really seemed to match Taotie.

The point is that Er Gou also said that it would transform into a fierce tiger in its next life.

Among the nine sons, "Bian" looks similar to a fierce tiger, which almost corresponded again!

Thinking of these, Xu Que couldn't sit still. If Er Gou's background was really that terrifying, he had to beat it up a few more times when he had the chance. Otherwise, if it really turned into a dragon one day and he couldn't control it, he wouldn't be able to beat it anymore!

"Er Gou, Er Gou..." Xu Que turned around and walked toward Er Gou again.

As a result, Er Gou had already crawled out of the tank and jumped onto the helicopter, ignoring Xu Que.

Xu Que saw the opportunity, didn't say a word, and slapped it!

"Slap!"

"Woof, why did you hit me? Are you trying to have a one-on-one? Come on! Let's have a fair fight!" Er Gou was instantly furious.

Xu Que narrowed his eyes and asked: "Don't bb, let me ask you a serious question. You said you've lived for six lives. What were your incarnations in the first five lives?"

"The things of the first five lives were so long ago, how could this God Venerable remember them so clearly! Forgot, forgot!" Er Gou seemed unwilling to mention the things of the previous lives and shook its head directly, looking like it would rather die than speak.

Xu Que understood this guy's character. If it really touched on some secrets, this guy would really not say it, even if torture was used, it would be useless.

For example, the matter of Five Elements Mountain, Xu Que suspected that Er Gou definitely knew more, but refused to say it.

Before, when it told about the ancestral land of the black monkeys and the seal of Five Elements Mountain, it pretended to have just remembered it.

But Xu Que believed his feeling, thinking that this guy was pretending, after all, its background itself was a bit abnormal, having been sealed in the stone wall of the Sword Tomb, if you really want to talk about it, that could also be considered a seal in Five Elements Mountain, right?

"Fine, forget it if you don't want to say. Starting tomorrow, you won't have a tank or helicopter to drive!" Xu Que left a sentence and turned to leave.

Er Gou was surprisingly tough and responded: "Don't drive then, this God Venerable will build a bunch of them myself in the future!"

"If you can build them, I'll treat you to KFC!" Xu Que scolded back, not wanting to talk nonsense anymore, and went straight back to Yunling City!

Whether it was Five Elements Mountain or Er Gou's background, these things didn't have much to do with him in the end, and had even less to do with his great cause of acting cool. Previously, he had been pursuing them just to satisfy his curiosity. Now that he couldn't investigate them, he naturally wouldn't think so much.

According to Xu Que's words, acting cool is the right path. He wants to be a person without protagonist syndrome. Protagonists in novels or movies love to pursue the conspiracies and truths of the world, but Xu Que doesn't like to do this. His life motto only has three things: flirting, acting cool, and eating delicious food!

……

The next day, Xu Que took the three thousand Snow City soldiers and set off majestically, heading to the fifth ancient city!

And in the Snow City City Lord's Mansion, Situ Wu had already returned, sitting in the mansion, speechless with Situ Haitang.

Now they had accepted the facts and were numb, knowing that no one could stop Xu Que from recovering the Water Yuan Kingdom.

After all, being able to take four ancient cities in a row in one day was absolutely unprecedented in the world!

So on this second day, they sat in the City Lord's Mansion, constantly receiving battle reports sent back by the Snow City soldiers.

"Reporting to General Haitang, Young Hero Zhuge has taken Likong City!"

"Reporting to General Haitang, Young Hero Zhuge has taken Zhenfeng City!"

"Reporting to General Haitang, Young Hero Zhuge has taken Heavenly Rain City. The remaining three major cities have received the news, and the three City Lords have fled one after another. All ten cities have been recovered!"

"Young Hero Zhuge also said that tomorrow he will take people to the Imperial Capital to cause trouble!"
