The Strongest Tribe

The withered big tree shone with a bewitching light under the night, and the moonlight hanging down from above the void was absorbed by the big tree. From a distance, the moonlight was like a pillar, and there was a kind of void ripple, as if someone was breathing Same.

The big tree was struck by lightning, and all the canopy-like branches disappeared, leaving only the scorched earth-like trunk, but at this moment, it was swallowing the power of the moonlight, no matter how you looked at it, it looked extremely strange.

At this moment, the two little guys knelt down on the ground, and the coldness in the blood-colored pupils was about to punch their chests.

boom! boom!

In an instant, two stones came from the sky and hit the two little guys, and they fell to the ground immediately. Xia Tuo ran from the dark, grabbed the two little guys and retreated.

Soon, behind him, Li led a group of soldiers and emerged from the darkness. The figures spread out, and the strong bow in his hand was drawn into a full moon, and the arrows flickered coldly.

Everyone looked at Xia Tuo. After all, it was the first time they had seen such a strange thing. A withered old tree could breathe and absorb the moonlight like a human being, especially in the deep mountains and old forests at night, it was too scary .

Xia Tuo also saw a few soldiers whose legs and feet were trembling, and the hands holding the big bows were also trembling. If it weren't for him being here, they would have run away in fright.

This is normal, the old tree turns into a demon, and a demon is an unknown existence to any clansman, because the unknown is scary.

At this moment, the demon killing order in Xia Tuo's hand shone brightly, telling him clearly that the old tree in front of him had become a demon, or should be in the process of transforming into a demon.

Rocket.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Tuo kicked Li, and Li reacted and kicked the person next to him. The clansman who immediately reacted hurriedly opened the animal oil in the bamboo tube on his back, and replaced it with an arrow made from a wolf bark tree. arrow.

call! call! call!

However, at this moment, the ground trembled, and tree roots sprang out from under the ground like big snakes, shaking the soil to meet many soldiers.

put!

Xia Tuo snatched the crossbow from the soldier next to him, first threw the bamboo tube filled with animal oil towards the old tree, and then shot the arrow in his hand, and the flames exploded in the sky above the old tree.

Nourish! Nourish! Nourish!

The rain of fire dripped down, causing the old tree to make harsh noises.

The roots protruding from the ground retracted one by one as if they had been stung, but the piercing sound made people dizzy.

what!

Ahhh~~

...

In an instant, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help covering their ears with their hands. The piercing sound seemed to take all the strength out of their bodies, and they all staggered from side to side.

At this moment, the retracted tree roots came back again, like a dancing earth dragon, sweeping across the four directions one by one, and knocked out the three clan soldiers in an instant.

Clang!

Xia Tuo grabbed a copper knife and chopped off the roots protruding from the ground. The roots all over the sky were thrown up, and then quickly shriveled into old bark.

Go on, don't stop!

Hearing Xia Tuo's order, Li learned how to command the still-moving clansmen, imitating Xia Tuo's method just now, throwing animal oil towards the old tree, and then released flaming arrow feathers, and soon, under the help of animal oil, The sky was full of flames.

Soon, Xia Tuo retreated, signaled the clansmen to come forward, and began to chop the roots from the old tree. The roots were like earth dragons, hitting the clan soldiers. Even so, as long as his life was not in danger, he would not shot.

He thinks this is an opportunity to let the tribe know or understand the demon.

In his opinion, killing monsters is not a matter for one person. Maybe some people in the clan have never seen a monster in their life, but they must know about monsters, and know that monsters are the enemy of the human race.

This little tree demon seems to have just psychic, and it can be used to practice hands, which can be regarded as letting the tribe know what a demon is.

squeak!

Buckets of animal oil spilled and flames ignited. The group of soldiers had already recovered from their panic. Although the old tree was weird, it stood there immobile, but they could use their bows and crossbows to attack from a distance.

After the old tree was ignited,

Xia Tuo saw a one-foot-long bud on the trunk swaying in the flames, glowing with a faint red light, and there was a faint phantom dancing, making a piercing sound.

Crackling.

Unfortunately, under the watering of animal oil, the fire became more and more intense, and the flames enveloped the entire old tree. The illusory shadows outside the buds on the trunk disappeared in the flames, and soon the buds were completely destroyed. withered in the flames.

The fire continued to burn until the old tree was left with only a stump like charred charcoal. The soldiers carefully moved towards the scorched stump.

Li kicked it down, and the stump fell to the ground. He saw a small fingernail-sized crystal appear in the pitch-black charcoal, and quickly picked it up and handed it to Xia Tuo.

Xia Tuo looked at the pitch-black tree stump in front of him, the demon-killing token in his hand glowed brightly, and a ray of black air was drawn from the tree stump and submerged into the demon-killing token.

The thunder-killing tree demon, tempered by thunder, became psychic.

Soon the information from the Demon Killing Order let him know the heel of this old tree, the psychic old tree demon, but unfortunately it is in the process of the most transformation and cannot leave the body, otherwise once its transformation is completed, it will It will be more troublesome.

Let's go.

Waving his hand, Xia Tuo led the clan soldiers back towards the valley, and the wounded clan soldiers supported each other and followed behind, but there was a strange light in everyone's eyes.

This scene tonight is really unforgettable.

Back in the cave in the valley, Xia Tuo pinched the old tree's demon core and expressed his contemplation. Speaking of the old tree's strength is a trivial matter, what really concerned him was why the demon reappeared, and the long-lost sense of urgency lingered in his heart again superior.

Patriarch.

Are the two teenagers settled down?

Xia Tuo looked up at Li.

Well, it's settled.

Tomorrow you return to the tribe with the soldiers who hunted the dryad with me tonight, go to the witch hall to find Qiao'er, and let everyone record the scene and thoughts of seeing the dryad, including yours.

I see, Patriarch.

Although he didn't quite understand what Xia Tuo meant, Li nodded.

I will ask Hong to arrange another group of soldiers to guard the valley.

...

On the second day, after Xia Tuo returned to the tribe, he came to the Totem Hall. There was a large stone platform in the center of the first floor of the Totem Hall, which was specially used as a writing platform.

There are blank animal skin scrolls and pens and inks on the stone platform.

When he came to the stone platform, he spread out a brand new animal skin roll, and wrote down all the tree demons he saw last night with ink on it.

At this time, the characters he used were no longer the characters of his previous life, but the shamanistic characters he learned from Qiaoer, which was similar to the pictographic characters he had seen in his previous life.

Of course, in terms of how proficient the patriarch Xia is in holding a pen, the writing is still similar to that of a dog crawling. Although the writing is not beautiful, it can still be recognized by people.

He recorded the tree demon and the Yao demon he killed not long ago, and wanted to use it as a basis for future reference.

It may seem that this approach seems naive, but if the Xia tribe can be passed on for hundreds of thousands of years, when the descendants of the tribe encounter a crisis, they may find a solution by taking out the records of these ancestors.

Hundreds of years later, these animal skin scrolls are the inheritance.

The reason why he asked Qiao'er to record the experience of the totem warrior who was with him last night was also to serve as a reference. After all, he didn't know much about monsters, and the people in the tribe were even more unclear. These records Maybe useful.

Uncle Patriarch.

At noon, Qiaoer came to the Inheritance Hall with a bunch of animal skin rolls in her arms. Seeing what Xia Tuo was writing, she started tiptoeing and came to the stone platform to look at the animal skin rolls.

The dryad...can attack with fire from a long distance...with animal oil...

Qiaoer muttered in a low voice, and soon her eyes lit up.

You can also use witchcraft fire charms.

Xia Tuo put the pen back, looked at Qiaoer and asked, Have you finished recording?

Ok.

Qiaoer wrinkled her little nose, with an unhappy face, and snorted heavily: Qiaoer hasn't seen a demon yet!

Xia Tuo casually picked up a pair of the animal skin rolls recorded by Qiaoer and opened them for a look. It was...not bad, at least the writing was still clear.

Seeing Xia Tuo talking to her, Qiaoer continued: Uncle, those guys started talking when they came back to the tribe. Now the whole tribe has heard what happened last night. Are monsters really scary?

Well, it's scary.

Xia Tuo glanced at Qiao'er and said, Eat children.

Qiaoer was taken aback, her big eyes dodged for a while, and then she said: I, I~ I'm not afraid, I'm about to become a wizard!

Xia Tuo picked up all the animal skin rolls and walked towards the stone bookshelf beside him. There are many bookshelves in the stone hall, and the rows are clearly divided.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Anbu, the Ministry of Arms, and the Ministry of Beasts, but there are not many animal skin scrolls on each row. Xia Tuo came to a blank bookshelf, took out a dagger and carved on the stone the two names of the Demon Ministry. Words, and then put the animal skin scroll on the bookshelf.

The fact that the tribe spread about the monster was what he had expected, otherwise he would not have transferred this group of clan soldiers back from the Hall of Humans.

Simply take advantage of this opportunity to let the tribe know about the demon, so as not to panic in the future.

After finishing all this, he called the deer back and asked him to pay close attention to the changes in the mountains and forests, the land of lightning and the dark place of the canyon, to see if there was anything strange.

Patriarch, there are now 370 warriors in the Anbu, including more than 120 totem warriors. Most of them are sent out by me now. However, there are so many mountains that it is impossible to find them.

In the family hall, Xia Tuo also sighed.

This is the predicament of the Xia tribe, lack of manpower, it seems that there are more than 2,000 people in the tribe, and more than half of the women, children, old and children have to be removed, and the rest are young and strong.

Among these young men, apart from Anbu and Wubu, the giants brought no less than a hundred people every time they went out to barter. There was no way to have a large amount of goods with strong guards.

There is also the need to take care of the Hall of Human Beings. Now Hong is leading the clansmen to hunt and open up artificial rivers while hunting. Fortunately, the women of the tribe in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Hall of Medicine can be busy.

In a word, patriarch Xia is really short of people.
