Chapter 865: The Netherworld Ritual and the Ghost Flower
Li Yao was slightly stunned, he had never considered the problem from this angle.
Strange when you think about it, in nature, the lower layers of the food chain often outnumber the upper layers by ten times.
Specifically, the number of herbivores should be ten times that of meat.
Even if they seem to be hideous and ugly, most of them feed on the sap of flowers and plants, and only a very small number of them will prey on other insects.
The aggressiveness of these herbivores is naturally not too strong, even if they evolve into demon races, why do they become monsters that only know how to kill?
Jin Xinyue chuckled, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "In fact, the use of hallucinogens in the demon clan has a history of tens of thousands of years, and under normal circumstances, hallucinogens will be used in conjunction with myths and legends, first preaching a large period of the glorious history of the demon clan, and then talking about how impassioned and magnificent the 'final battle' is, and finally talking about how sacred and immortal the real Ten Thousand Demon Palace is, which can immerse the demon clan in endless happiness." ”
"After the preaching, release the hallucinogenic potion, and through the cooperation of the secret method, you can make the demon clan flutter and produce all kinds of hallucinations - or see the vast magical power of the ancient demons to transform the heavens and the earth, or find yourself fighting in the final battle, or ascend to the golden and brilliant Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and enjoy eternal joy and happiness."
"In the classics of the demon clan, this kind of ritual is called 'through the underworld', and under the conditions, most of the high-level demon clans have to carry out the ritual of passing through the underworld every day, and they will naturally believe in the set of 'destruction, rebirth, and immortality'!"
"It's just that these Black Blood Demon Clan and Chaotic Blood Demon Clan were born in the land outside the Transformation, and it is estimated that they are rarely illuminated by the brilliance of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and now that the big war is imminent, there is not so much time to slowly modulate. I had to send it to the chaotic city, and use the secret method of the Fire Ant King to 'speed up'. ”
Li Yao listened to her words with disdain, his heart moved, and asked, "You don't believe this?" ”
Jin Xinyue laughed twice and said, "If there are enough benefits, I can also believe it." ”
While the two were whispering. The convoy started again, and after an hour of galloping, there was the end of the continent in front of it, and on the horizon, there were turbid waves and a raging black sea.
A huge peninsula, like sharp fangs, stretches out from the mainland and plunges deep into the sea.
The sky above the peninsula. The magnetic field and psionic energy are extremely disordered, like a colorful whirlpool, half of which is shrouded in strange dark clouds, from time to time rolling thunder, and strings of dazzling lightning hang upside down, and the other half is a clear sky, and the scorching sunlight is like a colorful blade, deep into the earth.
Look far away. On the peninsula, a high mountain rises very abruptly. The mountain peaks are densely packed with caves, and when you look closely, you find that they are layers of high-rise buildings, intertwined into a giant city.
"The City of Chaos has arrived!"
Li Yao's spirits perked up, this was the first time he had observed a big city in the Blood Demon Realm up close, and naturally he would not let go of every detail.
On the red soil leading to the peninsula. Gradually, a wide road paved with gray boulders appeared, but on both sides of the road stood two statues hundreds of meters high, the whole body was white and flawless, and there was no seam in sight, as if it was carved from a single piece of jade hundreds of meters long.
These two statues. The first one is a man and a woman with a human head and a snake body, the snake body is intertwined together, showing a perfect double helix, look carefully, each scale of the snake body, but it is densely engraved with countless scriptures, as if it contains a mysterious and complex information.
Although they are not wearing an inch and their skin is close to each other, this man and woman have clumsy faces, solemn and solemn, without the slightest sense of lewdness, but give people the urge to bow and worship.
The other statue is a bronze head and iron forehead, three heads and six arms, and huge horns have grown on both sides of the temples, rising to the sky!
Although it is carved from white jade, this statue is like a living thing, and it no longer releases monstrous evil qi in all directions all the time, making people can't help but feel impetuous, giving birth to a fierce murderous aura just by looking at it.
"These two statues are powerful magic weapons!"
The Scarlet Heart Demon suddenly said in the middle of his mind, "Especially this statue that represents killing and fighting, it has the magic power that breathes people's souls, and it can increase people's killing intent tenfold before they know it!" Interesting, really interesting! ”
Li Yao's heart sank, these two statues are the mythical ancient demon clan, but I don't know who made it?
The Demon Beast Empire, ruling the sea of stars for 30,000 years, although it is nominally a "demon", in fact, it has followed the language, culture and system of the human race, and how many mysteries have been hidden in 30,000 years? It's really reverie.
The convoy "rumbled" through the gate composed of two giant statues, and officially entered the scope of the chaotic city, with dense flower fields on both sides.
But when Li Yao adjusted his pupils and lens to enhance his vision, and looked closely, he found that the crops in the flower field were extremely strange.
It's like a demon tentacle growing out of the ground, stretching straight into the sky, each tentacle is covered with dense suckers, emitting mysterious fluorescence, with the spores swirling around, there is a frightening gorgeousness.
At the tip of the tentacle is a huge balloon, like a dandelion magnified countless times, very fluffy, floating like a balloon.
The breeze is light, and thousands of demon tentacles dance with the wind, like a heavily polluted, colorful cesspool, exuding a sweet and greasy fragrance, making people's scalps tingle.
At this moment, dozens of Dapeng flew in the sky, with a belt tied to the seat behind the back, sitting cross-legged on the emperor, and the dapeng claws were holding three or five lambs, calves and other beasts, and as soon as the claws were loosened, they were thrown into the strange flower field.
Time!
There was a piercing "hissing" sound in the flower field, and all the demon tentacles danced wildly as if they were electrified, and each suction cup was fully opened, revealing a jagged grinding organ, tearing the lamb and calf into pieces, and devouring them in a moment, not even the bones and dregs remained.
Li Yao was exclaiming, and one of the Dapeng seemed to be flying too low and became the target of a demonic tentacle.
This tentacle contracted violently like a spring, and then flicked violently, and it actually flew up to a height of nearly 100 meters, grabbed Dapeng's claws, and dragged it down!
Dapeng struggled desperately, and even struggled hard, tearing off his claws.
But it was too late, at this moment, Dapeng had been reduced to a height of sixty or seventy meters, and more than a dozen tentacles **** came out, instantly winding Dapeng into an airtight wind.
Dapeng and the emperor didn't even have time to scream more than half a sentence, so they turned into a puff of blood mist and were eaten up by "Woo Yo"!
The well-fed demon tentacles became more and more vivid, and the balloon at the top continued to expand, and red and purple tentacles rippled around it, floating into the sky, like the long hair of a drowning person scattered in the deep sea.
"This is the 'ghost flower', which must be fed with fresh flesh and blood every day, and when it is ripe, the liquid secreted from that balloon is the best raw material for refining hallucinogenic potions."
Jin Xinyue explained, "The Chaos Free City is located in the center of the geomagnetic riot in the Blood Demon Realm, and the climate is unpredictable, so it is not suitable for the growth of various crops, so it has not been developed. ”
"Somehow, it was discovered by the Fire Ant King, and this place is especially suitable for cultivating hallucinogenic and crazy plants!"
"When he built the city here, he was ridiculed by many demon clans, but when he was full-fledged and the general trend took shape, others couldn't laugh."
Li Yao was thoughtful, and his gaze extended into the distance.
Around the city, all over the peninsula are dense flower fields and breeding bases.
In addition to the ferocious ghost flowers, Li Yao also saw thousands of strange and bizarre plants.
Usually hidden in the soil, it will suddenly burst out of the hunting "dragon catching grass"; It is like a land sea cucumber, covered with flesh thorns, and will spray the "thorn flower" of deadly acid; Or with a light fragrance, it will make people unconsciously fall into the crazy "rainbow umbrella......
These plants, which are not only the raw materials for refining various potions, but also possess extremely aggressive and hallucinogenic properties, are the best guards of the Chaos City.
Li Yao secretly thought about how he would break through the flower fields that were dozens of kilometers long and horizontal and infiltrate the chaotic city if he didn't pretend to be a chaotic blood demon clan.
I pondered for a long time, but I didn't fully grasp it.
couldn't help but add a little jealousy to the Fire Ant King, the lord of the chaotic city.
Passing through a towering black vine, you entered the city of the city of chaos.
The city's first impression of Li Yao was "chaotic" and "savage".
Although there are also high-rise buildings here, most of the rows of high-rise buildings are not built of reinforced concrete, but are composed of thousands of strange giant trees hollowed out, these giant trees are hundreds of meters in diameter, not only the hollow trunk is the best activity space, but also the branches that extend in all directions, criss-crossed, have become the best air passage.
According to Jin Xinyue, even the root system that goes deep into the ground and extends in all directions is a traffic artery, and countless demon clans can travel between the roots, which is very convenient.
Although these "ancient trees and tall buildings" are hollow, they are also the products of genetic modulation and evolution from generation to generation, and they are not dead, and they are even growing at an extremely slow rate.
Li Yao looked at many demon clans, walking out of the neat tree holes one by one, and came to the end of the treetops, and immediately a flying demon beast swept to their side, carrying them to all parts of the chaotic city, orderly and orderly in the chaos, and couldn't help but have the illusion that they seemed to be no different from the cities of the Star Federation except for their appearance.
