Chapter Twenty-Six: Serendipity

Walking into this stone house, I saw that although this is the place where the patriarch of the Bloodtooth tribe lives, Shen Shi did not see anything particularly gorgeous and delicate in the house, but stones can be seen everywhere, including some stone cabinets and stone frames and other daily necessities.

The room was quite spacious, but there was no one on the first floor, and the iron monkey was not discolored by this, as if he had expected it for a long time, and took Shen Shi to the side of the house, where there was a stone staircase leading to the second floor. After walking all the way, there is a corridor in front of you, and there is not even a guardrail, and it is possible to fall directly if you are not careful, but judging from the bodies of the Blood Fang Tribe Demon Clan of the Iron Monkey, it seems that it will not be too much of a problem to fall from such a height.

Walking here, the iron monkey's expression became a little more solemn, and he took Shen Shi to the middle of the corridor, where there was a gate, walked over and stood at the door, the iron monkey raised his voice, bent down and saluted inside, and said:

"Patriarch, we're back. ”

Shen Shi followed behind the iron monkey, stood at the door and looked inside, only to see that the stone house on the second floor was very bright and full of light, because this stone house was very strange, with only three walls.

To be exact, apart from the stone house walls on the left and right sides of their gate, on the opposite side, in the direction of the north of the tribe, it was completely empty, and at a glance one could see a vast expanse of endless wasteland to the north, with an excellent view.

And in this stone house, with his back to them, that is, facing the wilderness of the north, sat a man who, after hearing the voice of the iron monkey, turned to look.

Shen Shi's gaze immediately fell on this person, it was a demon clan with a bull-headed human body, his eyes were very large, but both his eyes and body looked like an old man of old age. On his head, a pair of horns coiled around his head were clinging to his head, but one of the horns had been broken in half, and it was not known if it was caused by the injury he had when he was young.

This seems to be the patriarch of the Bloody Fang Clan, and Shen Shi already knew from the mouth of the Iron Monkey earlier that after the patriarchs of the previous generations took office, they would all get the name "Bloody Fang". At this moment, seeing the iron monkey respectfully stepping forward to salute, Shen Shi hesitated, and also bent down slightly, "Meet the Blood Fang Patriarch." ”

Of course, the Blood Fang Patriarch also saw Shen Shi at this moment, for such a stranger and his appearance was obviously quite different from the people in the tribe, he also showed a little surprise, looked Shen Shi up and down for a while, and then asked the iron monkey: "Iron monkey, ...... is he?"

The iron monkey hurriedly took a step forward and roughly talked about the encounter with Shen Shi from beginning to end, and finally said: "I think we haven't seen an outsider here for many years, so I took it upon myself to invite him as a guest, and please take a look." ”

The Blood Fang Patriarch's face softened a little, nodded slightly, and said, "I see. After thinking for a while, he turned his head to look at Shen Shi and said, "This guest, you said to the iron monkey in front of you, are you from the ghost witch clan?"

Shen Shi's heart moved, and said, "Yes, has the patriarch heard of my clan?" As he spoke, he stared at the bull-headed patriarch, hoping to see something on his face.

It's just that the Blood Fang Patriarch pondered for a moment, but he still shook his head, and didn't seem to have any impression of the ghost and witch clan that Shen Shi said, and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while. However, then the Bloodtooth Patriarch began to ask Shen Shi, and it could be seen that he was very curious about Shen Shi's origin and even his identity tribe, perhaps because the Bloodtooth tribe had lived alone in this wasteland for too long.

When the Blood Fang Patriarch asked Shen Shi where he came from, of course Shen Shi couldn't say that I was a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect of the Four Righteous Sects from the secret passage opened up by the Manggu Mirage, so after a little muttering, he said that he came from the far south, and the reason why he traveled far away was because he naturally liked to travel and explore, and accidentally strayed into that great desert, and finally met the iron monkey and the mountain wolf in that oasis.

The Bloodtooth Patriarch was taken aback, and couldn't help but continue to ask about the situation in Shen Shi's hometown, the activity area of the Bloodtooth Clan was so big, according to what the Iron Monkey said to Shen Shi, he had never been out of that desert at all, and the farthest distance was the oasis where they met last time.

Shen Shi's thoughts turned in his heart, and he immediately began to narrate the situation about his "hometown", but these seemingly illusory things he said extremely smoothly and naturally, because in fact, what he was talking about at this time was the matter of the Black Hell Mountain in the Demon Realm.

Under the huge mountain range, on the vast land, there are a large number of demon tribes, some strong and some weak, each of them survives and develops, and from time to time there will be inter-tribal battles and bloody wars. In order to see more about the reactions of these Blood Fang tribes to the outside world, Shen Shi even called out the names of many tribes in the demon world one by one.

White Monkey Tribe, Stone Pig Tribe, Blood Wolf Tribe, Civet Tribe, Phantom Fox Tribe, Giant Bear, Leopard, Red Tiger...... Of course, it also includes the two most powerful tribes, the Green Snake Clan and the Black Phoenix Clan.

The Bloodtooth Patriarch listened all the way, a pair of bull's eyes widened more and more, and his curiosity increased unabated, including the iron monkey sitting on the side, who also showed a look of surprise and a little yearning. It's just that Shen Shi looked at the expressions of these two people, obviously shocked, but he didn't have any unusual reaction to the names of those tribes.

It seems that they really don't know anything about the situation of the demon clan in the outside world, and they don't know anything about the real demon clan.

For some reason, Shen Shi's voice slowly lowered a little.

After listening to what Shen Shi said, the Blood Fang Patriarch was silent for a long time before finally sighing and sighing, "It turns out ...... It turns out that beyond the desert, there are so many people of the same race. We thought that for many years, only we would be blessed by the dragon god to survive here. ”

Shen Shi took the opportunity to ask about the situation of the Blood Fang Clan, perhaps because the things Shen Shi said earlier made the Blood Fang Patriarch feel agitated, and he unconsciously regarded this young man as his own person, and he was much less vigilant, so he also told Shen Shi something about the Blood Fang Clan.

Although most of them are the same as what the Iron Monkey Mountain Wolf said before, as the patriarch, he will of course know more things, so Shen Shi finally knew the ancient myths and legends of this Blood Fang tribe, it is said that there was an earth-shattering battle between gods and demons in ancient times, which shattered the sky and poisoned the earth. The Dragon Wilderness was once a fertile land with abundant water and grass, but it was polluted by demonic blood and became as desolate as it is now.

The final result of the war was that the omnipotent dragon god defeated the evil demon and suppressed it forever, and the only remaining demon people in that earth-shattering war formed the Blood Fang tribe, under the protection of the dragon god, settled in this wilderness, guarded the portal for the dragon god, and forever suppressed the demons.

Listening to this ancient myth and legend, Shen Shi didn't have any big surprises, whether it was the human race or the demon race, there were similar myths in history, and he had heard of it, it was nothing more than the protagonist and supporting roles were changed back and forth, and the storylines were similar. It's just that when he heard the last, he was stunned, looked at the Bloodtooth Patriarch in amazement, and said, "Guarding the demon?"

The Bloodtooth Patriarch smiled faintly, got up and beckoned Shen Shi to come over, and then walked with him to the north of the empty house, only to see that the sky and the earth were gray in front of him, and the wasteland seemed to extend endlessly as far as the eye could see, until the end of the heaven and the earth.

The Bloodfang Patriarch stretched out his hand, pointed to the endless wasteland in the north, and said calmly: "That demon is suppressed in the depths of the dragon wilderness, and our mission of the Bloodfang Clan is to guard this place and not let anyone enter there. ”

※※※

When he came down from the stone house, Shen Shi's mood was a little complicated, just now the Blood Fang Patriarch had invited him to be a guest in this tribe, and asked the Iron Monkey to inform the other Blood Fang Clansmen, announcing that Shen Shi was a rare guest.

This is naturally a recognition of Shen Shi's identity, so when the Iron Monkey told the other Blood Fang Clansmen in the tribe about this, most of the Demon Clans of the Blood Fang Clan were immediately much more friendly to Shen Shi, and even a few Demon Clan children even ran over and stood beside Shen Shi and watched curiously.

In addition, the Bloodtooth Patriarch even directly allocated a small stone house for Shen Shi to live in, although the stone house was on the edge of the tribal camp and had been vacant for a long time, but the meaning of hospitality was still clearly visible. However, Shen Shi was a little hesitant in his heart, because he entered this Heaven Asking Secret Realm in order to find an opportunity that would allow him to take his cultivation to the next level. At the moment, this bloodtooth tribe is mysterious and weird, which also makes him very curious, but looking at the demon clan in this clan, there is actually no one who is particularly strong individually, and he doesn't feel or find anything special in the camp.

Perhaps, is this just an ordinary demon tribe in the unpredictable Heavens Secret Realm?

Maybe I should get out of here and continue to look for my own opportunities?

Shen Shi's mood was a little contradictory, when he left the patriarch's stone house with the iron monkey, he accidentally found one thing that he had ignored before, that is, the entire camp of the Blood Fang tribe was composed of stone houses, and there were no walls and fences on the periphery of the camp to block foreign objects, except in the north of the camp, with the patriarch's stone house as the center, a stone wall more than half a person high was built, extending dozens of zhang away on both sides.

The stone wall looked old and dilapidated, weathered, and low, it seemed that any person in the Bloodtooth tribe, even a child, could easily climb over it, but after Shen Shi observed it back and forth along the way, he found that the entire Bloodtooth tribe, including curious and active children, no one would approach the broken wall, and no one would cross the invisible line and take a step towards the north of the tribe's camp.

Casually glancing into the depths of the wilderness north of the Dragon's Wilderness, everything seemed uneventful, not unlike what I had seen on the way I had come. Shen Shi pursed his lips in his heart, thinking to himself that he didn't know if this myth and legend was true, but with the strength of this bloodtooth tribe that didn't seem to be strong, how could he guard the legendary demon whose strength was as powerful as the sky? Or was it simply that demon was actually extremely weak......

Thinking of this, Shen Shi also shook his head with a wry smile, thinking to himself how he really took this matter seriously, this was clearly just an ancient legend of an ordinary demon tribe. It seems that it is not suitable for me to stay here for a long time, so I should set off early to find an opportunity.

It's just that when he just thought of the word "chance" in his heart, his heart suddenly moved, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then his heart was like a flame suddenly burning, and he couldn't help but think:

Maybe...... Could the legendary demon be some kind of chance?
