Chapter 112 The Past of the Three Clans of Humans, Demons and Monsters
It was not until this time that Xu Zhenfeng truly understood some of the situations within the Wolf Clan and the Demon Mountain.
Before, he was only busy with his own training and improving his own strength.
I have never thought about the situation of the wolf clan in the Demon Mountain, and how critical their status among the eight major demon clans has become.
The wolf clan is the most agile, fast, and attacking among all the demon clans. They are also the ones that best understand coordinated combat, so the most wolf clan demons are sent to the border to guard the border towns.
About two or three hundred years ago, the demons and humans repeatedly went to the border town to provoke, setting traps outside the city in the name of competition to lure and kill the border town defenders.
In just fifty years, three or four great monsters of the wolf clan were lured and killed outside the border town.
The traps set by the humans, demons and monsters to lure and kill the monsters are extremely vicious.
There is a poisonous weed called Divine Drunk in the Demon Mountain. This weed is not toxic to humans or demons, but it is extremely toxic to the demons.
However, this poisonous grass can only be found in the Demon Mountain. After being cultivated through various methods to remove its toxicity, it can also be made into a medicine for treating wounds.
The human and demon races bribed the traitors in the demon race and obtained this poisonous herb. After luring the demon generals out to fight, they used this poisonous herb to plot against the demon generals.
In a case like this, when he was provoked to leave the border town without permission and fight with the humans and demons until he died, the Demon King didn't know how to ask the two tribes for an explanation.
The main reason is that the demon mountain is too weak.
The demon generals can only be restrained from leaving the border town, and are not allowed to fight privately with humans and demons.
Later, the Demon King ordered the eradication of the poisonous weed Shenxianzui throughout the territory. Even the demons themselves could not find this poisonous weed, let alone the human and demon races.
It was during those years that such incidents of luring and killing the great demons of the demon race occurred frequently. After the poisonous grass Shenxianzui disappeared, the human and demon races also became much quieter.
During those years, the wolf clan suffered the most losses because most of the wolf clan monsters were guarding the major border towns.
To join the ranks of the eight great demon tribes in Demon Mountain, one must have at least six great demons in one's tribe.
Otherwise, he will have to give way to a powerful demon in the tribe that is stronger than his.
The ape tribe actually already has six great monsters, and although the wolf tribe also has seven great monsters, five of them are already old.
As long as the first elder and the second elder die, the ape tribe will replace the wolf tribe and become one of the eight tribes of Demon Mountain.
But Xu Zhenfeng is extremely talented. In terms of talent and understanding alone, he has far surpassed Lang Wentian back then.
As long as Xu Zhenfeng can become a great demon as soon as possible, it doesn't matter even if the first and second elders are gone in the future.
The wolf clan can also continue to be among the eight major clans and continue to obtain various resources that the Demon Mountain provides to the eight major demon clans.
The third elder, the fourth elder, and the fifth elder are all seven or eight hundred years old. They may be able to hold on for another two or three hundred years.
In the next two to three hundred years, if we can train two or three more great monsters to stabilize the situation, then the wolf tribe will be worry-free for a thousand years.
Because the great monsters of the ape tribe will also grow old, and they do not have the various extra resources provided by the Monster Mountain, this burst of luck and the situation of having six great monsters at the same time will not last long.
As Xu Zhenfeng listened to his master telling him about the plight of the wolf clan, for the first time he felt a sense of responsibility.
In order to prevent the wolf clan from being squeezed out of the eight demon clans, in order for the wolf clan to have more great demons in the future, and in order for the wolf clan to not degenerate into a lower-level demon clan.
He must practice hard and become a great demon as soon as possible.
"So, what's the matter with hunting demons?"
Xu Zhenfeng couldn't help but ask this question.
"The demons are the product of a thousand-year war between humans and demons. They are the ones who should not exist in this world. The demons are bloodthirsty by nature, and use the spirits and souls of humans and demons as resources for cultivation. Not only do we demons hunt demons, but humans have also been hunting demons for a long time."
"Then... why do humans want to unite with the demons to restrain us, the monsters?"
"When the demons first appeared, neither the human nor the demon race took them seriously. They didn't need any of our resources and didn't seem to pose a threat.
So we only cared about snatching territory and resources from the human race. By the time our demon race found out that something was wrong, and discovered that the demon race was actually using human souls and demon spirits to cultivate, the demon race had already become powerful. "
The Great Elder shook his head after he finished speaking.
The second elder went on to say, “The emperors of the human race at that time were short-sighted and only thought that the demons needed human souls. There are countless souls in the underworld, most of which don’t even have the chance to be reincarnated. What’s the use of giving them to the demons?
As long as they can suppress the demons who are trying to snatch real resources from them, it will be a natural thing for them to join forces with the demons."
"Then why did the human race and the demon race fall out?"
Xu Zhenfeng continued to ask.
"Later? Later, the human race discovered that more than half of the ghosts in the underworld had disappeared in just a thousand years. Even after the death of many emperors of the human race, their souls had cultivated to the extreme and had been arranged to be reincarnated and cultivated again. It is very likely that after the new life, they will be able to step onto the great road of heaven and earth and ascend to the realm of gods. But the demons found a way to intercept and devour them."
The fifth elder laughed and said, "My demon race is trapped in the demon mountain. Even if we die, we will not benefit the demon race. But what about the human race? Haha, they are shooting themselves in the foot.
During those thousand years, countless emperors' souls were devoured by the demons. As the demons grew in strength, the human race became even more unable to contain them.
The human race and the demon race have already started hunting each other, and the covenant between them is just a piece of waste paper."
Xu Zhenfeng suddenly realized, "So our demon race is not just trapped in the Demon Mountain. Is it also not participating in the fight between humans and demons, but secretly strengthening our own strength?"
As soon as he said this, the five elders blushed.
"Alas, the resources in the Monster Mountain are limited, and they have been almost exhausted for tens of thousands of years. How can we increase our strength? Not participating in the fight between humans and demons is the best way to preserve our strength."
"But His Majesty the Demon King has set up a trade department to do business with humans and exchange resources? What can we in the Demon Mountain have to exchange with humans?"
After hearing Xu Zhenfeng's question, several elders fell silent.
Xu Zhenfeng saw that their expressions were somewhat solemn, and he had already guessed in his heart what the Demon Mountain and the human race had exchanged.
