Chapter 442: The Old Demon King
Southern Xinjiang Demon King Cave.
Located in the center of the Southern Xinjiang Demon Domain, in the ancient forest of ten thousand demons, countless towering ancient trees like stars dot this forest of ten thousand demons with extraordinary beauty.
In this forest of ten thousand demons, the aura is much more moisturized than the northern wilderness, and there are a large number of demon trees growing in the ancient forest, and the demon trees use the aura to transform the unique demon spirit between the swallows, which is filled in this forest of ten thousand demons, cultivating the old demon tree that has survived for many years in front of the demon king cave.
It is worth mentioning that this old demon tree, it is so large that it takes hundreds of people to hug it, and the annual rings on the trunk show its sense of age, from the root of the old demon tree, it is completely like a stone pillar, it is vigorous and powerful, but it has also been weathered.
Looking up again, the trunk of the old demon tree seems to be no different from the roots, but if you look at it from a high place, the dense branches and buds of the old demon tree have long since withered and withered.
Looking at the whole forest of ten thousand demons, only this old demon tree stands out, although other ancient trees also have a towering trend, but they are all shorter than the old demon tree, countless spring and autumn, countless annual rings, the old demon tree witnesses the little by little of this southern demon domain, witnesses the past changes of the entire southern Xinjiang, like an immortal monument.
And this monument, at some point, withered and almost dying.
The bare branches and buds almost pronounced the death sentence of this old tree, countless demon people will come here every day, sincerely praying for the revival of the old demon tree, at this time, under the old demon tree, gathered a lot of demon warriors, they will come to take care of this old demon tree every day, with the demon spirits they extract from everywhere, give it nutrients.
No one believes that the old demon tree will die, just like the demon clan still dominates this southern demon domain, as long as the demon clan is still there, the old demon tree will always accompany them.
At the end of spring, on the top of the old demon tree, there were a few little monster guys jumping back and forth, their movements were agile, their bodies were as light as swallows, like wild monkeys in the forest, humming happily.
Why are the children so cheerful? Because the old demon tree in the spring of this year, it really sent out tender shoots, from the top branch buds, a few points of green, and now it has bloomed new leaves, although there are not many leaves, but this makes the whole demon clan rekindle hope, the old demon tree is not dead, the old demon tree will continue to recover and wake up, re-nourishing the entire southern Xinjiang demon domain, guarding the southern Xinjiang demon clan!
The demon spirit emitted by the old demon tree is enough to support the revitalization of the entire demon clan again, so that the cultivation power of the demon clan, which has been in decline for 10,000 years, will be revived again, just like the demon tree, thriving.
And all this hope is because not long ago, the princess returned to the south from the Northern Wilderness.
At this time, inside the Demon King Cave.
Yin Yin's demon light shines on this demon king cave, the cave wall is wooden, because this demon king cave is in a giant tree, surrounded by demon generals, each of them is different, but they are all experienced elites who have been fighting for many years.
On the huge throne, there sat a big guy like a mottled old tree, his body, like the trunk of a tree with annual rings, withered and full of wrinkles, dressed in a huge robe, with a staff in his rough hand bones, sitting on the throne, squinting slightly, looking like he was about to swallow his last breath.
The old guy's face is also rough and terrifying, and he can't see his appearance in the folds, and in the slightly squinted eyes, there is still a demonic blue light that is about to be extinguished, and the corners of his mouth still have the last long beard, which looks extremely monotonous, without any sense of symmetry at all, in the human race, it should be called a beard, but in the demon race, it is a tentacle that only the really old demons have.
The tentacles symbolize the identity of the demon, and there must be only the old demon king who can give birth to such a long tentacle, and once this last tentacle is peeled off, it means that the old demon king will return to the loess, the body will return to the demon wood, and the soul will return to the nine shadows.
All the demon people are secretly speculating and worried, the old demon king has lived for too long, at least two thousand years, and now the demon clan has fallen here, two thousand years is a limit, the legend of the past, the eldest demon king of the demon clan has lived for tens of thousands of years, just like the old demon tree, but that is just a legend after all.
After the 10,000-year war, this has really become a legend, and the demon people of later generations do not know whether the legend is true or false, but they are willing to believe in the legend, and they also believe in the powerful combat power of the demon clan in its heyday 10,000 years ago, so they pin all their hopes on the old demon tree, and also count all the hatred on the head of the human race.
"Lord Demon King, the princess is reluctant to lead the army to fight against the despicable Terran, if it drags on like this, I am afraid that I will miss the great opportunity, I am willing to personally lead the troops, go to meet the Terran for a while, do not destroy the Terran, and swear not to return!"
Suddenly, a burly old general walked to the demon king and sat down, and took the initiative to ask for help, he looked also old, and he was also an old demon clan, in the entire demon clan, except for the demon king, he should be the most respected.
"I'm willing to follow Elder Gale to fight the Terrans to the death!"
"I'm willing to follow Elder Gale too!"
……
For a while, in the entire Demon King Cave, almost half of the demon generals present were reconsidering, and took the initiative to ask to follow the Gale Elder to send troops to kill the Northern Wilderness.
The old demon king quietly looked at the group of demon generals under the throne, they all have a lot of blood, they are willing to throw their heads and spill blood for the demon clan, not afraid of life and death, the demon king naturally understands their thoughts.
That Gale Elder is the subordinate that the old demon king has always fancied, when he fought with the Northern Desolation Lie Emperor, Gale followed the old demon king's side, and then led the army to deal with the Red Emperor many times, do the math, Elder Gale is also more than a thousand years old.
The old demon king was silent for a long time, reminiscing about the past, perhaps because he was old, he liked memories. And what he remembered was not himself, but thinking about Gale Wind's life, this Gale Elder has no potential to be a demon king after all, he has already aged like this, and he may be able to live longer than the old demon king, but once the old demon king dies, how long can he live Gale Gale?
I'm afraid it's exactly like this that the old demon king has lived for so long, he is not willing to die, and he is even more worried about returning to the Nine Shadows.
The heirs of the old demon king all died on the battlefield, he has no descendants, but he has a daughter with good qualifications, but he was left in the Northern Wilderness, and the Red Emperor formed a bad fate, and finally died in the hands of the Red Emperor, that person is the princess of the demon clan - Su Su.
