Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lost Demon Clan
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lost Demon Clan
Of course, Shen Shi can distinguish the difference between claws and hooves, not to mention demon beasts, even among ordinary beasts, these two also symbolize completely different identities and statuses and the populations they belong to. Sharp and sharp claws belong to fierce meat-eating beasts, and flat and solid hooves belong to animals that eat grass honestly. There has never been a man-eating beast with hooves, nor a herbivore with claws.
Beasts are like this, and so are demon beasts, although most demon beasts are much more powerful than ordinary beasts, but maybe there is still a bit of mysterious connection in the depths of the bloodline, so demon beasts are no exception in this one.
And then there's the Demon Clan. The history of the demon clan is ancient and long, and because they were once powerful and invincible, they regard themselves as descendants of gods and the chosen ones. However, there is a very strange place that there are many different tribes in the demon clan itself, except for the demon emperor bloodline standing at the peak of the entire demon clan, which is born completely humanoid, many other tribes have some traces similar to demon beasts left on their bodies, as long as their own realm is cultivated to an extremely high level, those demon clans from inferior tribes will completely turn into human form.
This is indeed a very strange phenomenon, and there have been countless people who have been puzzled by it for a long time, and there have been many speculations about its explanation. For example, some people once thought that among the huge number of demon clans, in fact, only the descendants of the Demon Emperor family are the real demon clans, and as for the other tribes with traces of demon beasts, they are simply subordinates who were subdued by the Demon Emperor in the past and followed them.
In fact, there have been many similar statements in the human race for many years, it is said that as early as the last year of the Heavenly Demon King Court, when the demon war was in the last year, those saints directly called the demon clan "beast clan", of course, there was more or less some deliberate intention to belittle and even divide the demon race.
But no matter what the origin of the demon clan is, Shen Shi, who has lived in the demon world for three years and lived with countless demon clans and is deeply involved in it, clearly knows that the demon clan in the demon world attaches great importance to the bloodline of their respective tribes, and almost never has a bloodline hybrid.
A tribe similar to the Azure Snake Demon Clan may attract other species of Demon Clans to join the effect because it is strong, but in terms of offspring reproduction, all Demon Clans will only have children with the same bloodline as their own clan. The only exception is probably that when there is a bloody melee between the tribes, the demon beast soldiers who have a ferocious and ferocious temperament will do some tyrannical things, bully the female demon clans of other tribes, and then give birth to some hybrid offspring.
But such a mixed-race newborn, no matter where in the demon world, will be regarded as a bad thing, and the tribe to which it belongs takes it for granted that this is a shame that is simply unbearable, and it is rejected by all demon clans. Therefore, in the demon world, almost all mixed-race hybrid babies will be killed as soon as they are born.
And at this moment, Shen Shi saw that on the demon clan named Mountain Wolf, in addition to the most conspicuous wolf head features, one of his palms actually had hooves on it. This kind of conflict in appearance could never happen to a pure-blooded werewolf demon clan, and the only explanation was that this mountain wolf was actually an adult mixed-race demon clan that Shen Shi had never seen before.
Among the two people, Iron Monkey and Mountain Wolf, Iron Monkey's body is taller and larger, coupled with those strange patterns on his body, it also shows that he should be a strong warrior in the Bloodtooth Clan. In contrast, the mountain wolf was a little shorter, and it seemed that he was still a young warrior, and at this moment, he was stared at by Shen Shi with a stunned gaze for a long time, and his eyes immediately showed a little vigilance.
But other than that, the mountain wolf didn't have any other expressions, no fear, no fear, no inferiority, no panic, he just looked at Shen Shi, a stranger, a little puzzled, and kept looking at him. It seems that for him, there are no scruples at all because of his mixed blood.
A demon clan who doesn't seem to care about his hybrid bloodline in the slightest?
Shen Shi suddenly felt that things were a little beyond his imagination.
On the other side, after reporting the origin of his home, the iron monkey found that after the stranger on the other side was initially surprised, he suddenly showed a strange expression, only staring at his companion mountain wolf, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then raised his voice again and said again.
Shen Shi woke up in shock, nodded in return, and at the same time, his mind turned sharply, thinking back to what he had seen and heard in the demon world for three years, and was sure that he had never heard of a demon clan called Blood Fang, could it be that this was still just a strange thing in the secret realm of asking the sky?
The Heavenly Secret Realm is magical and weird, and there are all kinds of things, and it seems that things that have not appeared before can't be sure that they will not appear now, right?
Thinking of this, Shen Shi may have given an explanation to the huge doubts in his heart, and his face relaxed slightly, and at the same time, at this time, he heard the iron monkey ask himself: "By the way, which tribe are you, here in our Dragon Wilderness, we haven't seen outsiders for many years?"
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "I am ...... The Witch Clan. ”
Ghost witch, this strange and dark word, seemed to have been far away from him after he returned from the demon world, but at this time, for some reason, it suddenly came to his mind again, and then naturally said it.
The iron monkey and the mountain wolf glanced at each other, and there was a bit of obvious confusion on their faces, Shen Shi's heart moved, and said, "Haven't you heard of ghosts and witches?"
The iron monkey and the mountain wolf shook their heads at the same time, and Shen Shi suddenly felt a little more sure in his heart, it seems that this is really the strange world derived from the change of the Secret Realm of Wentian this time, you must know that if it is in the real demon world, the demon clan there knows most of the ghost and witch clan, although many people hate it.
After knowing that he had not suddenly returned to the demon realm with a strange abnormality, but was still in the secret realm of asking the heavens, Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and slowly chatted with the two demon clans. In other words, the elite disciples of the other four righteous famous sects who have entered the Wentian Secret Realm to practice, maybe when they encounter this situation, most of them will try their best to kill these two demon clans directly; 。
However, Shen Shi is different from most of the disciples of the demon clan in this matter, after all, he has lived in the demon world for three years, even if many demon clans are indeed fierce and cruel, but after three years, he can still see some of the people in the demon clan who are different, such as they also have feelings, beliefs, and their own pride, of course, some of them have also had friendship with Shen Shi.
Thinking of the tomb in the forest that was still in the Guiyuan Realm, Shen Shi's mood was low for a moment, and he had no killing intent towards these two demon clans, and after talking with Shen Shi for a few words, the iron monkey and the mountain wolf didn't seem to be wary of this benefactor who was brave enough to save him, so he took Shen Shi and walked forward while talking.
Shen Shi followed the two of them to the forest, looking at this direction, Shen Shi's heart moved, and he stopped talking. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the iron monkey and the mountain wolf to come to the vicinity of those strange nets.
The two demon clans first glanced left and right, and then walked to the front of those big nets, and saw the dozens of black worms stuck to each big net, the iron monkey's expression was quite calm, just showing a smile, and the mountain wolf seemed much more excited, cheered, strode over, laughed, and then dragged a palm-sized black worm corpse down, broke it into two pieces, and threw a large piece directly into his mouth, and then chewed it.
The iron monkey smiled, shook his head, and felt a little pity as if he saw the young man's impulse, and didn't say anything to him, just took out a leather bag from his body, and then began to pick off the black worm corpses on the net one by one and put them in his pocket.
Shen Shi watched from the sidelines, thinking that the actions of these two people should be collecting food, but when he saw those black bugs, he couldn't help but feel sick, thinking that there were actually people who could eat this thing, but looking at the appearance of the mountain wolf opening his mouth and chewing, he seemed to like the taste of this bug very much.
After a while, after taking these insects, the iron monkey and the mountain wolf left directly, and did not mean to put away these large nets. Back at the lake, the Iron Monkey threw the animal skin bag to the mountain wolf, and then grabbed the corpse of the crocodile monster beast directly from the ground, and it seemed that he didn't even plan to let go of it, and was ready to take it back as food.
Before this, the iron monkey had asked Shen Shi very politely if he wanted to share some crocodile meat, but Shen Shi was of course not interested in this, so he shook his head and excused himself. This made both the Iron Monkey and the Mountain Wolf look very happy, and their attitude towards him was a little more intimate, and the Iron Monkey directly invited him to be a guest in the Blood Fang Clan, and bluntly said that he hadn't seen outsiders come for many years, and the Blood Fang Patriarch would be very happy to take him to the Blood Fang Clan.
Shen Shi hesitated and thought about this matter for a while, then nodded and agreed.
Even in the Wentian Secret Realm, he was very curious about this strange demon clan, and he really wanted to go to their clan to take a closer look. After reaching an agreement, the Iron Monkey and the Mountain Wolf left this oasis with Shen Shi, and along the way, Shen Shi kept knocking on the side to inquire about the Bloody Fang Clan, and the Iron Monkey and the Mountain Wolf didn't seem to have any crooked intestines, and many things were told to Shen Shi unconsciously.
The vast expanse of land in this vicinity is called the Dragon Wilderness, which is boundless, and although the desert they are in at the moment is also very large, it is only a small part of the Dragon Wilderness. It takes about two days to go east to reach the large camp of the Bloodfang tribe out of the desert terrain.
However, the iron monkey and the mountain wolf did not directly return with Shen Shi, the two of them seemed to have other tasks, zigzag forward in this desert, and actually found five or six similar oases before and after, and then collected a lot of food, and then began to really turn around.
So when they saw the gray wilderness line at the edge of the desert, it was already four days later.
Walking to the junction of the yellow sand and the hard and desolate earth, the iron monkey and the mountain wolf knelt down at the same time towards the seemingly vast wilderness, put their hands on their chests, and whispered prayers. Shen Shi looked at them with some curiosity on the side, and at the same time heard a few whispers from them:
“...... Returned safely...... Dragon God Protects ......"
Suddenly, Shen Shi seemed to have thought of something, his face changed instantly, and his eyes showed a bit of incredulity, as if he had seen these two demon clans for the first time a few days ago, full of shock and disbelief.
The dragon god, the one that these two demon clans worship and worship, turned out to be a dragon god who doesn't know the origin yet?
He looked at these two strange demon clans in a daze, and thought blankly that this bloodtooth tribe was not only a tribe that could tolerate the existence of the half-blood demon clan, but even they had turned their backs on all the demon clans' sacred and supreme and inviolable instinctive beliefs that had been shared by the demon clan since ancient times.
This tribe seems to have completely lost everything in the spirit of the normal demon clan!
