Chapter 14 Personal Soldiers
After hearing Lang Wentian's question, Xu Zhenfeng's mind immediately emerged with a valley full of steep cliffs and mountains. An ignorant little wolf was wandering in the woods. The little wolf hunted alone, occupied a cave alone, and then grew up little by little. Then, on a full moon night, he walked alone in the valley.
The cold moonlight fell on him, and the shrill cries of night owls could be heard from the valley from time to time. He looked up at the moon, and when he saw the full moon, he suddenly had an epiphany, and a trace of spiritual wisdom opened in his mind.
Ever since he gained spiritual intelligence, he has been practicing diligently. His method of practice is the only way for monsters to practice, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
He practiced very diligently, and the process from the beginning of practice to the transformation was extremely fast and smooth. He hardly encountered any bottlenecks and reached the realm of transformation all the way.
The night he decided to transform was also a full moon day. The valley, which was originally sparsely populated, was silent. He was trying hard to transform, and his perception of the outside world was much duller than usual.
He only knew that some humans had broken into the valley and attacked him. As for how he escaped after the attack and how he fled to the outside of the Demon Mountain, he could not remember the whole process.
The only scattered memories in his mind were that someone hit him hard on the head with a demon-beating stick from behind.
Then, before he was completely unconscious, he suddenly received the consciousness projected by the Demon Mountain Spirit Pillar and knew the direction of the Demon Mountain. He ran in this direction, and then he didn't know when he fell unconscious, and when he woke up, he saw Big Bear.
He thought for a while and told Lang Wentian everything honestly.
Lang Wentian drank the pot of vinegar wine while listening to Xu Zhenfeng's story.
After Xu Zhenfeng finished speaking, he was also a little confused.
The most dangerous time for the demons is when they are transforming, because at that time all their demon power and perception are focused on transforming, and their sense of everything around them is reduced to a level even worse than that of an ordinary human.
Xu Zhenfeng was attacked when he was transforming. At that time, he had not yet fully transformed and was still a half-demon with weak demonic power.
The human who was able to launch a sneak attack on him would not have barged into the uninhabited valley alone, and it was even less likely that he was a good person. Logically, it was impossible for him to escape.
But how did he escape from the Monster Mountain when he was seriously injured? Was there another monster helping him? But why did they only help him escape from the Monster Mountain?
Wouldn't it be safer to send him directly to the Demon Mountain?
It’s a pity that Hu San has died, otherwise we could ask Hu San to ask what the situation was when Xu Zhenfeng was picked up.
Xu Zhenfeng himself couldn't figure out what was going on. Now that he recalled it, he didn't even know how far the valley where he grew up was from the Demon Mountain.
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Anyway, you are lucky. Although Hu San is not a good demon and has bad intentions towards you, he saved your life by accident."
After Lang Wentian finished speaking, he drank the remaining vinegar in the pot, then smacked his lips and said, "You have come to seek refuge with the little demon, and you have no roots in the demon mountain. Now that you have followed me, you should join my Lang Wentian clan."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenfeng was overjoyed. Having Lang Wentian as his backer and being able to join his family was a luck that many little demons could never dream of.
He immediately stood up, bowed and thanked me, "Thank you very much for your support, senior. I will definitely follow your orders in the future."
"Where did you learn these bad habits of the human race? Just say thank you and that's it, but you're still acting like a horse and risking your life? Let me tell you, the lives of our demon race are very precious. Unless you are on the battlefield, unless it's for the sake of the entire demon race, no great demon can let you die for no reason, not even the demon king."
Xu Zhenfeng was a little stunned when he heard this. How come this big monster has such advanced thinking?
Doesn't this sound like something a general under an emperor's rule would say?
However, he was stunned for only a moment. After listening to Lang Wentian's words, he responded loudly. It seemed that Lang Wentian did not like the kind of monster that was servile and fawning.
"The soldiers around me are all from the wolf tribe, and they are all wolf demons from my tribe. Since you have joined my tribe, you are from the same tribe as them. They will give you advice in the future. You should also ask them for advice. There is no such thing as keeping secrets in my wolf tribe. As long as you want to know something and want to learn some magic, as long as you can learn it, you can learn it."
This time Xu Zhenfeng did not flatter to show his loyalty, but just bowed in response.
Lang Wentian threw down the empty wine jug, turned around and took a few personal soldiers to rest.
The few personal soldiers who stayed here came over, divided the remaining monster meat on the stone table, and invited Xu Zhenfeng to eat with them.
Xu Zhenfeng was unable to accept it for a moment and just declined with a smile. The soldiers didn't take it seriously either.
After eating the monster meat and cleaning up the house, several personal soldiers took Xu Zhenfeng to another stone house on the city wall, which looked like a dormitory in a military camp.
There were several stone beds placed against the wall, with no bedding or anything, only a stone pillow on the bed.
One of the soldiers patted Xu Zhenfeng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "From today on, you are a member of our squad. I am your squad leader, Lang Buyan. You can call me squad leader or Brother Buyan. Take a rest today. Tomorrow I will teach you how to do things in this army. What to do?"
Xu Zhenfeng saluted with his fists, then walked to the stone bed that Lang Buyan had designated for him. He saw that the other wolf soldiers were already lying on the bed and snoring.
He also fell on the hard stone bed with his clothes on.
He thought he would not be used to this stone bed and stone pillow, but as soon as he fell down, he felt exhausted all over, his muscles and bones were so sore, and he fell asleep unknowingly.
Worries and fears about the new environment?
Insomnia?
nonexistent.
Early the next morning, several of Xu Zhenfeng's bodyguards who shared the same room with him began to get up. One of them was about to wake Xu Zhenfeng up, but he saw that Xu Zhenfeng had already stood up by turning over.
Wu Changlang stood at the door of the stone house and waved to him without saying a word.
"Come, I will take you to get your military uniform. You are not allowed to change your form at will in the barracks. You must always maintain your human form, unless you are in battle and the general orders you to return to your original form. Otherwise, you will be punished if you change back to your original form privately."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded, "I understand. Thank you, Brother Buyan, for reminding me."
"Why thank you? As a sergeant, these are what I must teach you, a new recruit."
Lang Buyan led Xu Zhenfeng along a long corridor behind the city wall, and the other four bodyguards followed behind them.
Several monsters walked through the corridor, went down the city wall, passed several places that looked like camps, and came to a row of tall stone houses.
Lang Buyan took out his badge and the verification card that Lang Wentian had given him last night, while the other personal soldiers stood there waiting.
Xu Zhenfeng followed Lang Buyan to the door of a stone house, where there were several demon soldiers on duty. After looking at Lang Buyan's two signs, a demon soldier entered the stone house and soon came out with a package and handed it to Lang Buyan.
After opening the package, Lang Buyan handed a set of clothes to Xu Zhenfeng, "Change into them now."
Xu Zhenfeng only saw two sets of clothes, a magic sword, and a waist badge in the package, which he thought was his identity verification card.
He changed into the uniform of his personal soldiers on the spot, and then returned to the city wall with Lang Buyan's personal soldiers to report to Lang Wentian on the main building.
Lang Wentian and Shi Tong both lived in the main building of the city wall. Usually, only two squads of their personal soldiers would guard the main building when they rested at night.
As long as they leave the main building, all the other bodyguards must follow them.
On the main building, Lang Wentian was eating breakfast, which was a roasted monster. When he saw Xu Zhenfeng, who had changed into the uniform of a personal soldier, Lang Wentian couldn't help but be dazzled.
This little wolf demon couldn't be seen last night because he was wearing night clothes, but today he changed into a set of hedgehog armor and the uniform of a personal soldier. He looked really dignified and had the power of a future great demon.
