Chapter 113 This is the wine
Xu Zhenfeng thought about the transaction between the Demon Mountain and the human race, and then associated it with what his master said: the wolf tribe must not degenerate into the lower-level demon tribe of the Demon Mountain.
I couldn't help but feel worried because the ape tribe already had six big monsters.
If the wolf tribe does not produce one or two big monsters within a hundred years, I am afraid that in the future transactions between the Monster Mountain and the human race, there will be wolf monsters.
Although they are all from the same demon race, no matter which race becomes a lower-level demon race and becomes the object of trade, it is a sorrow and shame for the Demon Mountain and even the entire demon race.
But now Yaoshan can only preserve and develop its strength in this way.
Xu Zhenfeng felt heavy in his heart. Even if he sacrificed the weak demon tribe, how long could it last?
Thinking back to the time when they were at the city gate of Jianfengling, Manshan from the Ox Tribe once told him that their Ox Tribe and other lower-level demon tribes were often conscripted for labor.
Those who left the family to perform labor service were almost separated from their loved ones by death. No one who had performed labor service had ever returned to the family.
He took a long breath, temporarily putting the matter aside from his mind, and asked Master Wu again: "Master Wu, when we were in Xiyi Realm, what was the round stone that the great demon of the fox tribe took out that could observe the surrounding situation from a distance?"
The fifth elder replied, "The mother and child shadow stones are also called shadow stones. Like the speech stones, they are magical instruments created by the imagination of the human race. As long as the child stone is placed no more than a hundred miles away, the situation near the child stone can be seen through the mother stone."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded, "We, the demon race, have to exchange everything with the human race. Can't we make any magic tools ourselves?"
After he asked this question, the elders fell silent again.
Finally, the Second Elder said with some regret: "About ten thousand years ago, the ape tribe was actually best at refining weapons, not cultivation.
At that time, the leopard tribe and my wolf tribe were not yet among the eight major tribes, and the ape tribe was the undisputed first demon tribe under the dragon tribe. All demon tribes, including the demon king, needed the magic tools, weapons, and armor refined by the ape tribe.
As time went by, under the flattery of the other seven tribes, the chief of the ape tribe began to have other ideas. He actually wanted to use his tribe's weapon-making ability to bribe other demon tribes to join them in a rebellion.
After being discovered by the Demon King at that time, he directly sent all the apes involved in the conspiracy into the Nine Cauldrons Demon Refining Furnace and kicked the apes out of the eight demon tribes.
But by that time, almost all of the famous weapon-making demons in the ape tribe had participated in the conspiracy of rebellion, and the demon king issued a royal decree, forbidding the ape tribe to make weapons anymore.
The ape tribe had been suppressed for nearly ten thousand years. It was only in the last two or three hundred years that they made some progress in cultivating their demonic powers and magic, and six great demons emerged in the tribe.
But since then, there has been no more demons in my demon mountain that can refine magic tools, and all we need is exchanged with humans."
The apes are closest to humans, so it is natural that they can refine magic tools. But if they want to overthrow the rule of the demon king by refining tools, isn't that too self-righteous?
Xu Zhenfeng shook his head secretly, and then the Great Elder smiled and said, "I heard from your Fifth Master that when you were in Xiyi Realm watching the great monsters besieging and killing the Xiyi King, you also knew to take the initiative to arrange for the monsters to patrol, which was considered thoughtful."
The fifth elder also nodded and said, "All the great monsters of the major monster tribes know about this. They all praise Zhenfeng for his methodical and thoughtful actions. Even His Majesty the Monster King knows Zhenfeng's name and said he will bring you to the palace to meet him someday."
Xu Zhenfeng said somewhat embarrassedly: "If I had known that the fox tribe had arranged the patrol, I would not have done it in vain. Instead, the monsters who went to patrol lost an opportunity to observe."
The Great Elder shook his head and said, "It's great that you're thoughtful. As for the opportunity to observe, it doesn't matter whether the promising little demon has such an opportunity or not."
After the master and his disciples talked for a while, they asked Xu Zhenfeng to continue practicing. After transferring their demonic power to him, they stayed with him until he absorbed a magic crystal and a soul crystal. Only then did the demons leave.
Xu Zhenfeng received the unremitting support of several masters, but he also had some worries in his heart.
After coming out of Xiyi Realm, he practiced much more diligently than before.
Every few days, he would call Langdu and the others to the backyard to eat and practice with him.
About two or three months later, Xiong Da came to see him again, but he invited him to attend his 200th anniversary demon celebration.
A 200-year-old demon is the same as an 18 or 20-year-old adult human.
For the demon race, becoming a demon at the age of 200 is no small matter, and the banquet for the demon’s initiation is as grand as the birth banquet.
The friendship between Xu Zhenfeng and Xiong Da is no longer the same as before. If Manshan of the Ox Clan is his first friend, then Xiong Da can be considered his second friend.
What's more, he and Xiong Da have experienced life and death together, so their relationship is even deeper.
When Xiong Da invited him to attend the banquet, he naturally agreed and told Xiong Da that he would bring a few of his fellow tribesmen to the banquet.
When the day of the grand banquet in the Bear Clan's main hall came, Xu Zhenfeng brought Langdu, Langfu and Langchen with him.
The banquet was held in the bluestone square at the entrance of the Bear Clan's main hall.
When Xu Zhenfeng and his companions arrived, the square was already full of monsters from the eight major demon tribes.
Because of the respect given to Xiong Zhenwei, the chief steward of the Demon Mountain Royal Court, the fox, python and leopard tribes, even though they were separated from him into two factions, still brought the little demons from their respective tribes to the banquet.
Several elders of the wolf tribe were invited by Xiong Zhenwei himself, so they naturally arrived early.
It was a little late for Xu Zhenfeng to lead the wolf to them.
As soon as he stepped into the bear tribe's main hall, he saw Xiang Rouer had also come with the tribe's elders.
Big Xiong was shamelessly leaning over to the elephant tribe, saying something with a flattering look on his face.
When Xiong Da saw Xu Zhenfeng coming, he greeted him with a smile.
"You kid, you came so late. I will punish you with two jars of wine later."
When Xu Zhenfeng heard him talking about the wine from Yaoshan, he couldn't help but feel a sour taste in his mouth.
He drank the fine wine that Lang Wentian had received as a reward from the Demon King at the city gate of Jianfengling.
It is said to be a fine wine, but it is no different from vinegar wine. It has a bland taste and is so sour that it makes your teeth ache.
"I definitely can't drink your penalty wine, but I have prepared a gift for you. I think it can offset your merits and demerits."
After saying that, Xu Zhenfeng asked Langdu to hand the two jars of wine in his hand to Xiong Da.
Xiong Da took it and looked at it, then asked in confusion: "I asked you to come and drink, and you brought wine?"
"Try the wine I brought. It's different from yours."
Xu Zhenfeng said firmly.
Xiong Da laughed and said, "You have made a wrong calculation. This time we are drinking the fine wine given by His Majesty the Demon King. I'm afraid your wine is not good enough."
"is it?"
Xu Zhenfeng raised his eyebrows. The wine he brought was a strong liquor that he had asked the wolf demon servants in the yard to brew using barley and wheat, which were eaten by humans, during his spare time.
He had seen the method of brewing wine countless times on Douyin in his previous life. He only needed to make the yeast first and then tell the steps of brewing wine, and the servants would do everything.
After the wine was brewed, he tasted it first and thought the taste was similar, so he asked several masters to drink it.
Even the wolf tribe, which doesn't like wine, thinks this wine is good and is not comparable to the vinegar wine given by the demon king.
He then took it out and gave it to Big Bear as a gift.
Everyone in the royal city knew that Big Bear loved wine. Xu Zhenfeng thought that this gift should suit his taste.
Xiong Da felt strange when he saw Xu Zhenfeng's disdainful look.
"Could it be that this wine of yours was also given by His Majesty the Demon King?"
"No, it's my homemade wine, try it."
Xiong Da became even more curious, "You can also make wine?"
He held the wine jar in one hand and broke the seal with the other. As soon as the seal of the jar fell off, the mellow aroma of strong liquor wafted out.
As soon as Xiong Da smelled the alcohol, the expression on his face froze.
He didn't say much to Xu Zhenfeng, he just tilted his head back and took a big sip from the wine jar.
After taking a sip of the liquor, Xiong Da closed his eyes and after a long time, he exhaled the smell of alcohol.
Then he turned around and walked away with the wine, calling his dad as he walked.
"Old man, old man, where are you? Come and drink this wine, my God, this is wine, what you drank before was urine."
