The withered trees shimmered in the night, and the moonlight above the void fell down and was absorbed by the trees, and from a distance, the moonlight was like a pillar, and there was a kind of void ripples, as if someone was breathing.

The big tree was thundered, and all the branches like a canopy disappeared, leaving only the scorched earth-like trunk, but at this moment, it swallowed the power of the moon, no matter how you look at it, it looks extremely weird.

At this moment, the two little guys knelt on the ground, and the coldness in their blood-colored pupils was about to smash their fists into their chests.

Bang!

In an instant, two stones came in the air and hit the two little guys, and suddenly the two fell to the ground, Xia Tuo ran from the shadows and grabbed the two little guys and retreated.

Soon, behind him, Li and a team of warriors also appeared from the darkness, and one by one the figures scattered, the strong bow in his hand was drawn into a full moon, and the arrows flashed coldly.

Everyone looked at Xia Tuo, after all, such a strange thing, they were all seeing it for the first time, a withered old tree actually breathed like a human to absorb the moonlight, especially in the deep mountains and old forests at night, it was too scary.

Xia Tuo also saw that several warriors were trembling with their legs and feet, and the hands holding the big bow were also trembling, and it was estimated that if he hadn't been here, he would have been scared away.

This is normal, the old tree turns into a demon, and the demon is an unknown existence for any clansman, and it is terrifying because of the unknown.

At this moment, the demon order in Xia Tuo's hand flashed brightly, and he clearly told him that the old tree in front of him had become a demon, or that it should be in the midst of turning into a demon.

"Rockets. ”

Immediately after, Xia Tuo kicked Li, Li reacted and kicked the person next to him, and the clansmen who reacted immediately hurriedly opened the animal oil in the bamboo tube on their backs and replaced them with arrows made of wolf bark trees.

Whew, whew!

However, at this moment, the ground trembled, and the roots of the trees scurried out from under the ground like large snakes, stirring up the dirt to meet the many warriors.

"Put!"

Xia Tuo snatched the bow and crossbow of the warrior next to him, first threw the bamboo tube filled with animal oil towards the old tree, and then shot the arrow in his hand, and the flames exploded in the sky above the old tree.

Zi!

The fire rain dropped, causing the old trees to make a screeching sound.

The roots of the trees poking out of the ground shrank back one by one as if they had been stung, but the harsh sound made people dizzy.

Yes!

Ahhh

......

In an instant, the surrounding warriors couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands, and the harsh sound seemed to make them drain the strength of their whole bodies, and their bodies staggered back and forth.

With this effort, the retracted roots of the tree came back again, like a dancing earth dragon, sweeping in all directions one by one, and the three clan soldiers were knocked out in an instant.

Boom!

Xia Tuo grabbed a copper knife and slashed at the roots that emerged from the ground, and the roots that covered the sky were thrown up, and then quickly dried up into old bark.

"Go on, don't stop!"

Li heard Xia Tuo's order, and commanded the clansmen who could still move to learn from it, and followed Xia Tuo's method just now to throw beast oil towards the old tree, and then released flame arrow feathers, and soon under the help of beast oil, flames filled the sky.

Soon, Xia Tuo retreated, signaled the clansmen to step forward, and began to chop the roots of the old tree, the roots of the tree were like earth dragons, hitting the clan soldiers, even so, as long as there was no danger to his life, he was not making a move.

He felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for his people to know or understand the demon.

Demon punishment, in his opinion, is not a person's business, maybe some clansmen have never seen demons in their lives, but they must know demons, and know that demons are the enemies of the human race.

This little tree demon seems to have just been psychic, and it can just be used to practice his hands, which can be regarded as letting the clansmen know what a demon is.

Chirping!

Barrels of beast oil were spilled, flames were ignited, and the soldiers had recovered from their panic, and the old trees, though strange, stood there immovable, while they could harness their bows and crossbows to attack from a distance.

After the old tree was ignited, Xia Tuo saw a young bud about a foot long on the trunk of the tree swaying in the flames, glowing with a faint red light, and a faint phantory shadow was beating, making a piercing sound.

Cracking sound.

Unfortunately, under the watering of animal oil, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the flames wrapped the entire old tree, and the illusory shadow outside the young shoots on the trunk turned into bubbles in the flames, and soon the young shoots completely withered in the flames.

The fire burned until the old tree was left with a stump like charcoal, and the soldiers cautiously headed for the charred stump.

Li kicked down, the stump fell to the ground, and he saw a crystal the size of a small fingernail appear in the pitch-black charcoal, and quickly picked it up and handed it to Xia Tuo.

Xia Tuo looked at the jet-black stump in front of him, the demon order in his hand bloomed, and a black air flow was drawn out of the stump and submerged into the demon order.

The Thunder Tree Demon is tempered by thunder and psychic.

Soon the information from the Demon Decree let him know the heel of this old tree, the psychic old tree demon, but unfortunately it is in the most metamorphosis process, and it can't leave the body, otherwise once its transformation is completed, it will be even more troublesome.

"Let's go. ”

With a wave of his hand, Xia Tuo led the clan soldiers back towards the valley, and the injured clan soldiers supported each other and followed behind, but everyone's eyes flashed with a strange divine light.

This scene tonight is really unforgettable.

Back in the stone cave in the valley, Xia Tuo pinched the demon core of the old tree and showed his thoughts, speaking of the strength of the old tree is a trivial matter, what really makes him care is why the demon appeared again, and the long-lost sense of urgency lingers in his heart again.

"Patriarch. ”

"Are both teenagers settled?"

Xia Tuo looked up at Li.

"Well, settle in. ”

"Tomorrow, you return to the tribe with the soldiers who hunted the dryad with me tonight, and find Qiao'er in the witch hall, so that everyone can record the scene and thoughts of seeing the dryad, including yours. ”

"I see, Patriarch. ”

Although he didn't quite understand what Xia Tuo meant, Li nodded.

"I'll ask Hong to arrange for another group of warriors to come and guard the valley. ”

......

On the second day, after Xia Tuo returned to the tribe, he came to the Totem Hall, which had a large stone platform in the center of the first floor of the Totem Hall, which was specially used as a platform for writing.

There are blank animal skin scrolls and pen and ink on the stone platform.

When he came to the stone platform, he spread out a brand new animal skin scroll, and recorded the various kinds of dryads he had seen last night in ink.

At this time, the script he used was no longer the script of his previous life, but the witch script that he had learned from Qiao'er, which was similar to the hieroglyphs he had seen in his previous life.

Of course, in terms of the proficiency of the Xia patriarch in holding the pen, it is still written like a dog crawling, although the writing is not beautiful, but it can also be recognized.

He recorded the Dryad, as well as the Demon he had killed not long ago, and wanted to use it as a basis for the future.

It may seem naïve to do this, but if the Xia tribe can be inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, and when the future generations of clansmen encounter a crisis, they may be able to find a solution by taking out these ancestral records.

Hundreds of years later, these skin scrolls are the last generation.

The reason why he also asked Qiao'er to record the experience of the totem warrior who was with him last night was also to use it as a reference, after all, he didn't know much about demons, and the clansmen in the tribe were even more unclear, and these records might be useful.

"Patriarch Uncle. ”

At noon, Qiao'er came to the inheritance hall with a pile of animal skin scrolls, and when she saw what Xia Tuo was writing, she became tiptoeing up and came to the stone platform to look at the animal skin scrolls.

"Dryad...... Can be attacked with fire from a distance...... Served with animal oil......"

Qiao'er whispered, and soon her eyes lit up.

"You can also use the sorcery fire charm. ”

Xia Tuo put the pen back, looked at Qiao'er and asked, "Are you all done?"

"Hmm. ”

Qiao'er wrinkled her little nose, looked unhappy, and hummed in a very nasal voice: "Qiao'er hasn't seen a demon yet!"

Xia Tuo picked up a pair of animal skin scrolls recorded by Qiao'er and opened them at random, and... Not bad, at least it's written fairly clearly.

Seeing Xia Tuo taking care of herself, Qiao'er continued: "Uncle, those guys came back to the tribe and started talking, and now the whole tribe has heard about what happened last night, are the monsters really scary?"

"Well, it's scary. ”

Xia Tuo glanced at Qiao'er and said, "Eat children." ”

Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, her big eyes dodged for a while, and then she said: "I, I~ I'm not afraid, I'm about to become a wizard!"

Xia Tuo picked up all the animal skin rolls and walked towards the stone bookshelves on the side, there were many bookshelves in the stone hall, and the rows were clearly divided.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Darkness, the Ministry of Martial Arts, and the Ministry of Beasts, but there are not many animal skin scrolls on each row, Xia Tuo came to a blank bookshelf, took out a dagger and carved the word Demon Department on the stone, and then put the animal skin scrolls on the bookshelf.

The matter of the demon in the tribe was what he expected, otherwise he would not have transferred this team of clan soldiers back from the human hall.

simply took this opportunity to let the clansmen know about the demon, so as not to panic in the future.

After doing all this, he called the deer again and told him to pay close attention to the changes in the mountains and forests, the land of thunder, the dark places of the canyon, and see if there was anything strange.

"Patriarch, there are now 370 warriors in the dark department, including more than 120 totem warriors, most of whom have been sent out by me now, but the mountains are continuous, and they can't be found at all. ”

In the clan hall, Xia Tuo also sighed.

This is the plight of the Xia tribe, there is a shortage of manpower, it seems that there are more than 2,000 people in the clan, and this is to remove more than half of the women, children, old and young, and the rest are young and strong.

Among these young people, in addition to the dark department and the military department, there are no less than 100 people brought by the giant barter every time, and there is no way to have a large number of goods must have a strong guard.

There is also a need to take care of the human hall, and now Hong is leading the clan to open up the artificial river while hunting, so that the women in the clan can be busy in the military department, the agricultural department, and the medicine hall.

In a word, Patriarch Xia is really short of people.
