Chapter 124: The Truth
The old gargoyle let out a long sigh.
"NMD fart!" Enraged, Abel's eyes instantly turned red!
"I'm going to smash you stone ghosts with my own hands today to avenge my clansmen!" Let's do it!
"Wait!"
Liu Ergou stopped the impulsive Elble, and he was also affected by the wound and grinned for a while.
"Don't worry, let's listen to what these stone monsters can say, if you dare to talk nonsense, it's not too late to kill them."
Barely appeasing the furious Abel, Liu Ergou turned his head and asked the old gargoyle, "What's the matter with you saying that you haven't killed a rat clan?" ”
The old gargoyle nodded, first picked up the head of a dead gargoyle, dragged a sucked corpse, and then said to Liu Ergou:
"My lord, please look at the teeth of this gargoyle, can you see how it is different from ours?"
What's the difference? Not to mention Liu Ergou, who came to this world for the first time, is the respected Bufax and Elanster, who have never noticed that the gargoyles' teeth will be different.
However, everyone took a closer look, and they really saw some doorways.
Seeing that everyone's expressions were abnormal, the old gargoyle slowly spoke:
"As you have seen, the fangs of our waiting are all white, slender and curved;
And this gargoyle's teeth are short, thick and thick, and the color is also black. ”
"So what does that mean?"
Avril on the side asked inexplicably.
The old gargoyle sighed:
"Alas...... This gargoyle, among our gargoyle clan, is called the marrow eater "marrow eater!"
As soon as the name was spoken, the gargoyles and Ellanster in the distance looked very ugly.
"'Eater of the marrow' means gargoyle that feeds on the marrow of the brain." The old gargoyle said solemnly.
"We gargoyles live in the Sunset Mountains and feed on the blood of demonic beasts all year round.
If there are no special circumstances, they will generally not actively come into contact with other intelligent beings.
But marrow eaters are an exception. ”
"No one knows the origin of the marrow eaters, but under the influence of some dark force, a few people turn into marrow eaters every year.
Instead of just ingesting blood, marrow eaters begin to develop a voracious craving for the cerebral marrow.
Their teeth have become short and thick to make it easier to crush their skulls, and their color has turned black from sucking too much brain spindle.
We gargoyles have always hunted in herds, and the marrow eaters will be banished from the pack to fend for themselves.
But this year, there is an exceptionally powerful marrow eater!
No one knows when he was born, but he didn't just attack sapient beings and suck the brain marrow.
He even commanded other marrow eaters to hunt down our kind, suck the life energy of the heart core, and coerce us normal clansmen to collect tribute for him!
Fortunately, this demon king was finally killed by you, my lord! ”
After the old gargoyle finished speaking, he seemed to be relieved, and pointed to the heart core in Liu Ergou's hand full of awe.
Black eats black? No wonder this lord is so big.
Liu Ergou suddenly remembered the three particularly outstanding fourth-order abilities detected by Al at that time, which seemed to have been accumulated by eating too much of his clan.
Thinking about the age of the gargoyle lord detected by the system, this guy has been dormant for a long time.
"The tribute collected by our clansmen must be the first to be given to the Demon King and his men to suck the brain marrow before they are thrown to us to suck blood.
My lord, please look at the scars on the corpses of these ratmen, with our fangs, it is absolutely impossible to bite out such scars. ”
The old gargoyle raised his hand and pointed to the corpse on the ground again, and said to Liu Ergou.
Indeed, whether it was seen along the way or the corpses at the scene, the skulls were all scars left by the fangs crushed and bitten.
If it was a slender and curved fangs like an old gargoyle, I am afraid that it would break on its own before it could be bitten through.
"We and other gargoyles really have no intention of harming these rat people, and we don't dare to be enemies of adults, so I hope that adults will open the net and spare our lives!"
Seeing that Liu Ergou's expression softened, the old gargoyle pleaded again.
"Humph! Even if you didn't kill it, you gargoyles killed it! ”
Abel on the side was still angry: "You blood-sucking devils, none of them have any good intentions!
Spare your lives today, if one day some 'marrow eater' comes out again, who can guarantee our safety! ”
"Quiet! It's not your turn to interject here! Before Able could finish speaking, Ellanster spoke.
Elantst immediately came to Liu Ergou's side and whispered to him:
"Sacrifice to my lord, now is the time to open up the Northland Wastelands when there is a shortage of manpower;
These gargoyles are so powerful that they are willing to submit to me, so I think it is better to subdue them all.
First, there is a sacrifice adult, so there is no need to worry about safety;
Second, if you only suck blood, the blood released by the clan's daily slaughter of demonic beasts is just useless, so it's better to kill two birds with one stone? ”
Liu Ergou thought about it, but it was also a good idea.
It's just that this gargoyle is raised in the clan, and everyone has to eat and live with these "rat killers" every day, can they get by psychologically?
Thinking like this, Liu Ergou looked at Ellanster worriedly, and was about to speak, but saw Ellanster give him a meaningful look......
Liu Ergou was stunned for a moment, then understood, then coughed lightly, and said to everyone present:
"Ahem, since the real murderer has been ambushed, and you gargoyles are forced to act, I will spare your dog's life for the time being."
Before everyone could make an uproar, Liu Ergou said again:
"But you gargoyles are helping the evil and the evil is the truth!
Therefore, punish you for working hard for the Maiss rat every day!
I will arrange the needs of blood food, and I will also check my teeth in public every day to prevent the appearance of marrow eaters.
If you don't comply, kill on the spot! If you try to misdo in the clan, you will also be killed on the spot! Do you have any objections? ”
A group of gargoyles, you look at me, I look at you, and finally agreed to Liu Ergou's order with a dejected head, and honestly stayed aside and waited for the hair.
Despite this, most of the rats still didn't buy it, and they looked at these gargoyles with hatred.
"Humph! Don't get complacent too soon! If it weren't for the sacrificial lords, you would have turned into stone slag a long time ago! ”
"That's it! The lord is kind-hearted, but we have a grudge! ”
"With the lord here, it's not easy to destroy you stone monsters!"
For a while, the rat clan's names for Liu Ergou all brought the word "adult".
While maintaining his majesty with a straight face, Liu Ergou smiled bitterly in his heart.
It is said that people are old and fine, and this mouse is a hundred times better when he is old!
When he first mentioned the marrow eater, Elanster seemed to know something, and the old man knew that the old gargoyle was not telling nonsense.
