Chapter 603: The Children of the Demon Clan Are Starving (Three Watches)
More than 100 demon clan leaders agreed to come to the Fu Keke camp for a party, but only about 50 came, and they were not interested in what Jin Tuan and what he was going to say, but in looking for food.
The Fu Clan guests are the kind of simple characters who would rather starve themselves than let the guests be fed, and the few remaining cakes were quickly distributed, but the leaders of the demon clan did not eat them themselves, but carefully collected them in their arms, glared at each other angrily, and reminded each other not to beat their own ideas of these cakes.
Now that they had received the food, the leaders of the demon clan were embarrassed to leave immediately, so they sat on the ground, intending to listen to what Jintuan had to say, and use it as the price of receiving bread.
Mu Xingqiu and Shen Shang stood at the edge of the camp and watched this scene, both curious about what Jin Tuan would do next.
Jin Tuan didn't ask anyone for advice, nor did he tell Mu Xingqiu his detailed plan, he wanted to convince the demons with his own skills.
His face was slightly pale, not as firm as it had been at the beginning, and he stood at the door of a cave in the ground, his head bowed, as if admitting his mistake, and as if prayingβhe really needed to pray, if he couldn't convince the fifty-odd demon clan leaders and encourage all the demon clans, it would be a joke, and he couldn't even get the demon clans scattered in the camps together.
Looking at the face that was the same as himself, Mu Xingqiu felt both ridiculous and sympathetic, and couldn't help but get nervous, although his face was silent, his ten fingers were slowly squirming, at least so far, he hadn't figured out how to arouse the morale of these demon clans.
Jintuan's opponent is a powerful curse, and honor, benefit, which is usually the most touching words, is meaningless at this moment.
Jin Tuan raised his head, his expression immediately returned to resoluteness, he rarely smiled, and at this time he was even more strict like a lion who had been king for a long time.
He walked up to the demons and sat on the ground, only slightly higher. So that all the demons could see him, and then he began to introduce himself.
"My name is Jin Tuo, I am a spirit demon, several demon kings saw me yesterday, and some of them are seeing me for the first time today. β
The bland beginning, there is not even a "demon king" to look up - there are many tribes in the land of demons, and any clan leader can be called a demon king, this title is like "adult", it is an honorific with little practical content.
"What I'm about to say is very simple, but before that. I hope you will join me in praying to the Old Gods. β
Jin Tuan got up, took out a three-headed idol from his bosom, placed the idol on the mound of earth he had just sat on, and then knelt down.
The leaders of the demon clan were all a little confused, but when the more than twenty Fu guests knelt down facing the idol, they also changed from sitting to kneeling one after another.
Mu Xingqiu and Shen Shang glanced at each other, and both nodded, feeling that Jintuan's move was very clever.
The demon clan lives scattered, and rarely has a common goal. Except for a few well-known demon kings, no one can turn them into a whole, and as soon as the demon king dies, his subordinates immediately fall apart.
Jin Tuan has no reputation. Even the identity of the demon clan is a bit wrong, and if you want to unite the demons, you must rely on the prestige you already have.
Not all demon clans believe in the ancient god religion, but as long as half of the demon clan is willing to bow down to the three gods. The other half of the demon clan will follow the herd.
The first step was right.
All the demon clans in the camp, regardless of whether they were leaders or ordinary demons, knelt down facing the idol. Many demon clans took out their idols from their arms, holding them in one hand and rubbing them with the other, looking very religious.
Jin Tuan is not a believer, even this statue was temporarily borrowed from a talisman guest, he didn't know any scriptures, but said in a deep voice: "The ancient gods are above, we and other demon people are mediocre, we don't seek to be heard in the world, we don't seek to fight in all directions, we only want the old to rely on, the young to raise, the children in the family can grow into demons, continue to serve the ancient gods, this life is full of wishes." β
Shen Shang turned to Mu Xingqiu and said with his mouth: "He reads." β
Jin Tuan had indeed read some scattered Pang Shan books, but Mu Xingqiu doubted that the demons could understand what he said.
Most of the demon clans were illiterate and couldn't understand the words of the crepe, but after the brocade prayed, all the demons whispered "this life is full of wishes", and they felt the piety of the brocade from the voice.
Jin Tuan slowly stood up, whispered a few more words to the idol, and then slowly turned around, and from then on he remained standing, slightly sideways, like a waiter beside the idol, facing him, and the demons still bowed.
"Listen. Jin Tuan made a tilted ear, there was no sound around, and after a while, the cry of a child came from afar, like a wild cat fighting, "The child of the demon clan is hungry." β
Like a self-taught orator, he paused for a moment to make everyone fully understand the meaning of the sentence before continuing, his voice low and slow, completely believing the immaturity of the young face.
"I saw you put away the food, and I knew you were going to take it back to the camp and give it to your children. But just a few pieces of bread can alleviate today's hunger, but they can't solve tomorrow's and the day after tomorrow's hunger, let alone avoid imminent death. The ancient gods are above, and the demon clan has suffered enough, why don't our children even have the qualifications to grow up?"
There was fire in Jin Tuo's eyes, which made him more like a spirit demon than a Taoist Mu Xingqiu.
"You are all the heads of the clan, it was you who made the decision to leave your hometown and take refuge in the Ice City, it was you who made the decision to stay here and wait for death to come, and it was you who made the decision so that your children could no longer roam in the land of demons. β
Jin Tuan was hoping that the demon clan would stand up and make an indignant accusation, and he needed a little reaction to prove that his words had shaken the foundation of the curse.
But no demon clan got up, on the contrary, their heads hung lower, all of them were ashamed, but they refused to open their mouths to defend themselves, this group of demon clans, who were regarded as heroes in their own tribe, were defeated by fear and frustration, and even lost the instinct to fight.
Mu Xingqiu and Shen Shang glanced at each other again, knowing that this was the most critical moment, and it was not difficult to unite the demon clan with the ancient gods, because this did not interfere with the curse, and if they wanted to arouse the anger in the demon clan's heart, they were fighting against the powerful curse head-on, and if they made a mistake, they might lose their efforts.
"Reminisce, think about your former self, you are a great demon clan, in the coldest region, in the face of the most sinister strong enemy, you survived. When you were children, it was your parents who kept you safe and fed with blood and swords. Now, your children are crying out for hunger, look what you have done, like a herd of gentle doe sitting in front of the hole in the ground, I am ashamed of you......"
"You don't understand anything!" "You don't understand anything!" finally a beast demon stood up, a head taller than Jin Tuan and half a chest, and the double horns on his head were like two steel knives, "You can't win at all, you can't do anything except let the children eat as much as possible in the last few days." Resisting? It's just going to be a worse death, and I don't want my children to suffer like that. β
All the demons nodded one after another, and Jin Tuan also nodded in his heart, and finally stirred up a little wave on a piece of stagnant water, he was so excited that his palms were sweating, but his face showed an angry look.
"I don't understand? Do you think I haven't seen the corpses of the demon clan everywhere? I came all the way from the northwest, I have seen hundreds of corpse pits, thousands of demon corpses, I have seen many strong demon clans die there unharmed, his wife and children died next to him, yes, the corpses are intact, there is no pain on their faces, but they are still dead, those children curled up in their mother's arms, until they die, they still think they can be protected by their father......
"Say no more!" the other demon stood up.
Jin Tuan did capture what the demon clan cared about the most - the child, last night he walked around the camp, and saw that the depressed adults would only show a little expression to the child, and today they were willing to come to the party, also to find a little food for the child, this qiΔ made him believe that only the child can shake the effect of the curse on the demon clan.
"Don't you want to pass on this pride to your children because you are proud of your father?" Jin Tuan raised his voice, he was tug-of-war with the invisible curse, he had just pulled an inch, and he had to keep pushing harder, harder.
"What do you want us to do? Fight? The demons have never defeated those monsters, you can only wait for death, maybe they will spare some children who still don't remember. You're a single person, and of course you don't care about these things. β
The demons said a word, and all the anger was vented on Jintuan's body, and the spirit demons responded without landing, staring at each other's eyes, and their words became more and more intense, so they had to completely ignite the other party's anger.
Mu Xingqiu even admired Jin Tuan a little, this kid usually doesn't smile, because he will get angry because of a little thing, no different from a rebellious teenager in his teens, overnight, he has become a master of controlling his feelings, no matter how angry the demons are, he is unmoved.
Mu Xingqiu was only worried about one thing, Jin Tuan might overdo it, he provoked anger in response to fear, and the result might bring more fear.
Shen Shang looked pensive, his appearance looked older, and he nodded slightly from time to time, not knowing whether he was moved by the brocade or had the same worries as Mu Xingqiu.
The bald man listened with relish, and kept saying in Mu Xingqiu's ear: "That's right." "That's it. β
Jin Tuan finally aroused the anger of the demons, these days, Bingcheng and Wolf Yuan have never been so loud, several demon clans even shook their arms and prepared to fight.
Jin Tuan made a mistake at this time, after all, he was too young and didn't know how to use subtle spells, in order to burn the anger of the demons to a height of one zhang, his own passion had to rush three zhang first.
He felt that the time had come, so he grabbed the three idols, held them high, and said loudly: "Fight! Fight Bingkui! Fight for your children to live, and make them proud of their father!"
As soon as the two words Bing Kui came out, the entire camp suddenly became silent again, the anger disappeared from the face of the demon clan, and the strong man who was angry slowly shrank back, they had been avoiding mentioning these two words, and now, the power of the curse returned.
Jin Tuan's face changed slightly, feeling that the general trend was about to go, and in the tug-of-war with the curse, he was about to lose.
Mu Xingqiu knew that he had to help him.
