As for Chen Yuxiang himself, he entered the sea country again and began to study the fifth level of "The True Interpretation of Chaos God". What remains in the hall is just a divine power incarnation!
A few years passed soon.
Some changes have also occurred around Xiaolong Mountain.
There were originally three robber forces near Xiaolong Mountain, each controlling some surrounding villages of gods. The world is like crows, and the three major forces all collect taxes from these gods of gods. The tax amount is the same as the requirements of the city lord's mansion, and they are different.
It's twice a year.
Now that Xiaolong Mountain's tax amount has been reduced by half, it has been changed to once a year, the burden on the gods in the surrounding villages is naturally greatly reduced. The three major robber forces are adjacent, and the gods and demigods in the nearby villages have learned about this news.
Many people come to live here with their families. In this way, there are more and more people in the villages around Xiaolong Mountain, while the population of the villages under the other two major forces is getting smaller and smaller.
Ordinary gods are poor, but they cannot withstand many people. For any robber force, taxes are their most important economic pillar, and robbery does not happen often, after all, fat sheep do not often occur.
The approach of Xiaolong Mountain is tantamount to offend the interests of the other two robber forces. The other two robber forces sent people to negotiate several times, but the messengers sent were all killed directly by Xiao Mao.
The two robbers were extremely angry, but they did not dare to attack Xiaolong Mountain rashly. Because they also knew that Xiaolong Mountain had changed its master, and the original three bosses had been killed by the new boss and directly took over the top of the mountain.
His strength was not even as good as the original Xiaolong Mountain, so he had to swallow his anger.
However, any force needs economic sources. In order to maintain it, the two sides have simultaneously increased the exploitation of villagers in the region, which naturally accelerated the speed of villagers' escape.
Fortunately, the villages in the divine realm are fixed. After all, the villages around Xiaolong Mountain can accommodate only a limited number of villagers, and Xiaolong Mountain has not expanded to the outside world, so under their rule, there are still some villagers.
However, the bandits' income is getting smaller and smaller, and naturally the hearts of people are floating.
Ten years after Chen Yuxiang occupied Xiaolong Mountain.
Podong Village, a village near Xiaolong Mountain.
More than a dozen soldiers strode into the village and came to the village chief's home.
A moment later, the ringtone rang, and the village chief stood outside the door and shouted: "The tax is collected!" The villagers came to the village chief's yard with the tax he should pay in groups of three or three, chatting and laughing.
The tax on Xiaolong Mountain is a divine stone for every family with gods. If there is a demigod at home, you will pay a little local specialties. Gods also pay material enjoyment, and there is no shortage of food, drink, and entertainment.
Specialties are also very popular on Xiaolong Mountain.
"Wang Li, you will collect taxes this year!" a woman said with a smile.
"Auntie, you are here!" The soldier in charge was tall and nodded to the woman and smiled, "I am from our village, of course I am here to collect taxes! The responsibility is, there is no way! You always take care of it."
"Hi! What's the matter? The days are much better now than before! Do you see people from other places running to our village? How many daughters of people want to marry my son!"
The woman smiled generously, "Thanks to the new king on the mountain!"
"Yes! Yes!" The people who came to pay the tax also started to discuss.
These ordinary gods and demigods are like mortals in low-level planes, without more requirements. Xiaolong Mountain reduces the amount of taxes, and they have a little better life than other villages, and have a little superiority.
Very satisfied.
The people who came to collect taxes all came from this village. In the past, if they went back to their own village to collect taxes, they would inevitably be pointed at the nose and scolded by the villagers, so no one was willing to return to their own village to collect taxes. But now they are back to their own village.
, but he was treated as a guest of honor.
It took more than 10,000 villagers in Podong Village to pay taxes. Wang Li and a dozen soldiers worked hard for a long time, collected all the divine stones and local products, then said goodbye to the villagers and walked out of the village.
"Captain, look!" As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, a soldier pointed to the dense forest not far away and shouted.
"People from Shuangya Mountain!" Wang Lin looked at dozens of gods holding weapons outside the dense forest, his face turned cold, and he strode forward with a sword in his hand and said, "What are you doing here!"
"What else can you do? Collect taxes!" The second-level god man in the lead said coldly.
"This is the territory of our Xiaolong Mountain. You are not the army of Jiulan City. Why do you come to us to collect taxes? Get out of here! Otherwise we are not polite!" Wang Li said angrily.
"This is the territory of Xiaolong Mountain, but 20% of the villagers escaped from our Shuangya Mountain's sphere of influence. Today we are going to collect their taxes!" The second-level god man in charge sneered.
He said, "What, is this not possible? You want to force us to death!"
"The ones who arrived here were the villagers of Podong Village, protected by my Xiaolong Mountain!" Wang Li said coldly, "If you want to enter the village, first ask if I agree if I agree!"
"Kill!" The second-level god man didn't say anything nonsense, shouted and rushed over.
"Kill!" Wang Li's face turned cold, and he shouted loudly, and he greeted the second-level god.
Both sides are considered army, so naturally they have no intention of fighting alone. The soldiers on both sides rushed forward, with low-level artifacts in their hands, and each greeted each other. The power of various laws flashed, and from time to time, someone was hit by a knife and howled and fell down.
The edge was also stained with blood in an instant.
"Captain! There are too many of them, we can't beat them!" A soldier slashed an enemy with a knife and shouted to Wang Li, "Go back and report to the second in command!"
"Okay!" Wang Li's eyes were blood red, and he did not hesitate and retreated outside the battlefield. His soldiers were half dead and injured, and if they continued to fight, they could only explain everything.
The remaining soldiers howled and stopped the enemy for Wang Li. After Wang Li cut over two first-level gods, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Xiaolong Mountain.
Two second-level gods chased him out, but were stopped by the second-level gods led by the first-level gods: "Don't chase him anymore, let him go!"
The remaining soldiers were instantly chopped over to the ground. The second-level god led by the leader smiled coldly and pointed to the village and said, "Let's go, let's collect taxes!"
Dozens of people strode into the village with magical artifacts, leaving only a few people to clean the battlefield. The villagers were shocked when they saw these people.
"People from Shuangyashan! What are they doing here?!"
Dozens of soldiers from Shuangya Mountain came to the village chief's home, and the ringtone rang again soon.
"What's going on? Didn't you just pay the tax?" Most of the villagers were confused and came to the courtyard of the village chief's house with a confused look on their faces.
"We are from Shuangyashan! From now on, you will not only pay taxes to Xiaolong Mountain, but also pay taxes to us! It will start this year!" The leader of Shuangyashan sneered with a bloody battle knife.
"Fart! How could this happen!"
"The days just passed a little, so you guys will make trouble!"
"You guys will let people live if you do this!"
The villagers suddenly became boiling and their faces were full of anger. They were just ordinary people and wanted to live a peaceful life. Such a little wish would not be realized, so they were naturally extremely angry!
"You bastards from Shuangya Mountain, when the kings of Xiaolong Mountain come, they will chop you down one by one!" A woman screamed angrily.
"Kill!" The bandit leader snorted coldly.
call out!
A sword light flashed, and the woman's head and head were different, and a fountain of blood surged. A second-level god snorted coldly and returned to her original place.
There was a silence in the courtyard, and the villagers kept their mouths shut.
Although many of them are also gods, most of them are first-level gods. There are a few second-level gods who do not have magical tools in their hands. And these people from Shuangyashan, whether they are first-level gods or second-level gods, are not as good as they are first-level gods or second-level gods.
Gods and men all have magical tools in their hands.
Everyone knows how big the difference is between a god with a magical weapon and a god without a magical weapon. Although there are only a few dozen people on the other side, if they really want to fight, they can only die in vain.
The bandit leader smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, go back and prepare! Each god is a divine stone, half god and half. It is handed over here within half an hour, otherwise, you will be dead!"
Looking at the angry eyes of everyone, the bandit leader became even more proud. He paused slightly and added: "Of course, it turns out that if the villagers within my Shuangyashan sphere of influence are willing to go back, they will still collect taxes according to the original tax amount!"
The crowd dispersed in silence, and no one said anything more. The fact of blood was placed in front of him, and no one wanted to die meaninglessly.
Many villagers returned home and took out their treasured divine stones and handed them out. Other villagers quietly left the village. They could not pay enough divine stones, so they naturally had to escape in order to survive.
From then on, they generally did not dare to come back. Because the souls of the gods and men were strong, they remembered them once they saw them. If they were encountered by people from Shuangya Mountain in the future, they would still be dead.
Some villagers returned to their original villages and returned to their sphere of influence in Shuangya Mountain. Since they had no advantage in Podong Village, they naturally had to leave.
Everything was seen by the bandit leader. However, he just sneered, said nothing, and did not stop the villagers who fled.
"Sir, my family doesn't have enough divine stones. Can you replace these mountain goods?" A god man begged. Those piles of mountain goods are also worth enough of divine stones.
"kill!"
The sword light lit up and the head fell to the ground.
"Sir, I have many family members, but I don't have that many! Can I be graceful for a few days?"
"kill!"
The sword light flashed again, and another god's head fell to the ground.
Half an hour later.
"The tax has been collected and the people have been killed. You can leave, right?" The village chief of Podong Village said with a gloomy face.
The bandit leader smiled coldly and slashed off the village chief's head!
"Father!"
Several of the village chief's children rushed over and cried endlessly, and both of their wives started crying.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of the bandit leader's mouth, and the sword light flashed again!
The crying stopped abruptly, with blood all over the ground!
"Kill all the remaining people in the village, and no one can be let go!" The bandit leader waved his bloody battle knife and said with a grim smile.
"yes!"
Dozens of Shuangyashan bandits roared and rushed out of the courtyard.
...
Xiaolong Mountain.
On the mountain road, a bloody warrior ran wildly with his teeth gritted his teeth.
"Who? Stop!" Two soldiers emerged from behind Dashi.
"It's me!"
"Captain Wang Li! What's going on?" A soldier said in surprise, "Didn't you go back to Podong Village to collect taxes? What's wrong?"
"Get out of the way, I want to meet the second in command!" Wang Li roared angrily.
