Chapter 891: Temptation to Fight Secretly
In the beginning, the act of prostrate prostrate and bow down was actually to stretch out the head in front of the kneeling person, exposing the uncovered neck and handing over his life to the other party, as a sign of complete submission.
The white hair fluttered slightly with the movements, Lin An looked down, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he could harvest the life of the old man in front of him.
Lin was silent for a moment, a complicated meaning flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Transfer one-fifth of the manpower to listen to the priest's orders at any time, and the rest are still left to resist the beast tide, you can go." ”
Lux bowed, forgetting Lin An's order to disguise her identity, and moved his knees back step by step, kneeling out.
"I can't stay here."
A hint of danger flashed in Lin An's eyes.
She had a hunch that the object to be killed in this sudden Demon God Oracle was probably herself.
It's a pity that she doesn't know enough about the beliefs and religion of the demon clan, the demon royal family holds the religious power and imperial power in their hands, and Lin An can't ask too much like Lux, so as not to expose his "pseudo-royal" identity.
So, now she wasn't even sure how far this oracle would fall, but with the worst-case scenario as the bottom line, Lin An suspected that she had become a wanted person for the entire plane.
The only good news is that, according to Lux's reaction, the oracle did not clearly indicate the target of the killing, and if even the specific images were shown, Lin An's only way to survive might be that spatial rift.
Angus, however, was nowhere to be found.
Therefore, Lin An can't kill Lux, otherwise it will be equivalent to cutting off this last retreat - whether it is the specific location of the spatial rift or returning to the deep mountains, Lin An can't do without Lux's help.
The sound of gentle walking sounded outside the tent curtain, the frequency was familiar, and Lin An's eyebrows moved, so fast?
Only Lukes' low voice was heard: "My lord, slave Lux asks to see." ”
Lux went and returned.
“…… In. ”
Lux entered, and the curtain had just fallen, and he immediately bowed deeply, and said softly:
"Your Excellency, the slave has gone down according to your instructions, Amda himself has seen Priest Abdu, and the Priest has said that the beast tide is coming, and if we do not conduct a thorough investigation, after the beast tide is over, only the tribes that have been carefully screened will be allowed to leave," he paused, "Anyone who defies the search will be killed!" ”
"I see." Lin An's eyes flashed and he said quietly.
Lux waited for a moment, but Lin An didn't show it, kowtowed again, and retreated.
Lin An had calmed down.
She didn't know which one was heavier in Lukes's mind, the belief in the demon god or the fear of the strong, but it was certain that the fate of the tribe had a decisive weight in Lukes's mind.
Even if Lux was suspicious, between the Wolf Tooth tribe and the strong, and even the powerful forces of the royal family and the gods, these more than 3,000 mountain people were completely insignificant cannon fodder, and even a little rubbing could wipe out the entire tribe.
Based on this alone, even if Lux is fully confirmed, with the current situation, it is enough to stabilize him for a period of time and not expose Lin An's existence.
This is the benefit of the elders being calm and valuing the dà game, otherwise if it is Amda, Lin An will definitely not let him have a chance to leave this tent.
"But being young, there are also benefits to being young......"
Lin An muttered to himself.
……
A day later, a low roar rolled in from the sky like muffled thunder.
The beast tide is finally here.
The earth shook, and a black tide seemed to appear on the horizon, drowning the green sea of grass and rushing from the end of the sight!
All kinds of beasts of different shapes and sizes were mixed in, and under the leadership of many demonic beasts, they rushed towards the north without reason, and any grass, trees and hills blocking the road were trampled flat!
Occasionally, the same kind of people stumbled, tumbled and fell, and were immediately trampled by the beast tide behind.
Countless hooves and feet rained down, turning into a piece of minced meat mixed with blood and water in an instant, nourishing this sea of grass where the rainy season is approaching, and the cycle of life and death has never stopped playing out on this field!
Eventually, the front of the beast tide approached the lake, and some of the beasts waded into the water irrationally, and some of the beasts diverted to both sides, and the men flipped on their backs, and continued to storm the small reef that stood in their way.
Before coming into contact with the demon warriors, the first thing the beast tide encountered was the carnivorous plants arranged on both sides of the lake by the Wolf Tooth tribe.
The spider web grass shoots out filamentous vines covered with slime, intertwined and intertwined;
The carnivorous konjac opens thick, fleshy petals, revealing sharp fangs in the middle;
The magic bottle fruit filled with venom shot out countless poisonous seeds, and as soon as they touched the flesh, the seeds immediately became like living creatures, burrowing deep into them, and quickly taking root and germinating;
Of course, the most are the mutants of Kira grass, when the demonic beast dodged many predators, thinking that it stepped on the normal grass, suddenly burst out of countless blood mist, and the whole body festered in a short period of time, turning into a liquid rich in nutrients......
On the tall arrow tower of the Wolf Tooth Tribe, two tall and imposing demons were talking.
"The plants cultivated by the priest of Buye are really getting more and more powerful!"
"Hmph, it's just a matter of not doing business, just studying these messy things, falling out of favor with the demon god, and this old guy Buye can only stay in this barren land for the rest of his life!"
The territory was disliked by the other party in front of him, and as a tribal chief, his face was ugly, and he was dissatisfied, and deliberately said:
"Priest Abdu is right, but in our barren land, I will not be willing to give me ten priests in exchange for one priest of Bouye."
After speaking, he glanced at the other party intentionally or unintentionally.
Priest Abdu snorted, and he was irrefutable that what the other party said was true.
The demon clan only looks at strength, and the ability of the priest of Buye to cultivate carnivorous plants is the main reason for the expansion of the wolftooth tribe in recent years, so the favor of the demon god obtained by the priest of Buye is far less than him, but he can still be on an equal footing with him, and even in important decisions, the words of the priest of Buye carry more weight than him.
Even among the priestly seeds that have been ordained over the years, the most gifted ones are often sent to Buye, while he receives a slightly inferior one.
This time, if he hadn't seized the opportunity of the Demon God Oracle to make the chief Glore take a step back, and now he was standing here with the chieftain to watch the battle, I'm afraid it would still be Buye, and it wouldn't be his turn.
At this time, the seemingly harmonious two sides knew very well that after the beast tide, taking advantage of the oracle to descend, Abdu would definitely take the opportunity to wantonly exclude dissidents, weaken the power of his own clan led by the tribal leader and the priest of Buye, and even set off a bloody storm if it was not good.
At this time, they are just secretly brewing and preparing and probing the opponent's hole cards, and at the same time, they must also try their best to reduce the sacrifice of their subordinates in the beast tide, and eliminate the variables that may affect the outcome-
Therefore, it is rare for the two sides to reach a unanimous decision on the issue of the attached tribes being cannon fodder in the future.
When the two high-ranking tribes were intriguing, the Beast Tide Striker had already made close contact with the defense front.
Flesh and blood fly, mud and blood mix, bestiality and cruelty collide! Ferocity and brutality are intertwined!
None of the demons retreated, compared to death, cowardice and cowering in the dictionary of the demons are more shameful and unacceptable adjectives, enough to disgrace the relatives!
If you are torn to pieces in the battle, and you can't even leave a piece of intact meat, it will be the best destination for the demon warriors!
Many of the demon warriors who were standing behind and waiting were stimulated by the bloody and ferocious scenes, and before the people in front of them retreated, their eyes were already bloodshot, and they rushed forward with a howl, desperately pounced into the beast herd!
There was a faint roar of a demonic beast behind the beast tide, and the beast tide under the faint weakness of the attack became violent.
"The climax of the first wave of charges has arrived!"
"Why is it so fast this year!"
Both tribal leaders solemnized.
"The beast calls!"
A bright red light radiated from the arrow tower behind him, and below the wooden village, many demon warriors who were fighting immediately increased their strength, their eyes became blood-red, and they rushed forward with a roar.
Priest Abdul withdrew his hand from the outstretched arms below, and glanced arrogantly at Chief Glore, who sneered and waved a small dark red flag.
Soon, a team of 100 people, with sharp armor, immediately rushed into the battlefield, their bodies faintly burst out with different lights, especially on the blades, slashing and stabbing, everywhere they went, the monsters retreated, invincible!
“…… Worthy of our wolftooth warriors! ”
Retracting his gaze at the wolf knight, Chief Gloll didn't show a smug look, his fierce eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he looked to the east, "What's going on over there?" I remember the east, it seems that you arranged the defense! ”
The chief looked at Priest Abdu.
"Useless stuff!"
Priest Abdu's face was ugly, and he vaguely remembered that when he learned that he had the opportunity to gnaw down the hard bones of the mountain people, he deliberately agreed to Worf's embarrassment of them, and only waited for Lux to ask for a sufficient price, and then sent Worf's men to help defend them.
But then, because of the oracle, he forgot about it.
This is actually not a big deal, and there is a chance to make up for it, but the first peak of the beast tide this year appeared too early, and there was an unstable situation in the east, so that his mistakes were immediately exposed.
Abdu was angry and anxious, and immediately ordered a priest on the same side as himself to go to support, and sure enough, after the magic was released, the mountain people stabilized their position again, and Abdu transferred Wolf's people over, one subtracted and one increased, and after a mental calculation, he suddenly felt a little distressed about the loss of his lineage.
Turning back, Chief Gloll said with some contempt and disdain:
"The priest's response is really timely, but the beast tide is related to the survival of the tribe, and if such an accident occurs a second time, I will have to consider taking back the power of the priest to allocate combat power."
Priest Abdu replied with a hidden grudge, "Rest assured, Chief, there will be no second time." ”
……
Amda, covered in blood, hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in, and an excited smile appeared on the face that had not faded, and she danced with excitement:
"Your Excellency is so powerful, they really came to reinforce them! Ha ha! ”
"No matter what they covet from you, no matter how many conspiracies they have, they can't always override the survival of the tribe," Lin An said lightly, and said quietly, "You didn't tell your grandfather about this." ”
"My lord told me, I'm sure I won't say it!" Amda said, his face slightly gloomy, "But before the feigned formation was defeated, and many clansmen died. ”
"Compared to the sacrifice arranged by the tribe, these are small, since you have done it, don't regret it."
Lin An said calmly.
