Chapter 351: Little Demon Tribe
Bloodstone, a lake full of bloodstone!
To be honest, Blood Essence Stone is not very useful. For ordinary cultivators, it is just a thing to restore spiritual power. However, there are many things that can restore spiritual power. Blood Essence Stone is not the best among them. It can only be regarded as a medium-quality one. Therefore, for ordinary cultivators, its value is average.
But for the disciples of Mohist School, the Blood Essence Stone is a divine stone and a holy item.
The most intuitive example is the puppet that Mo Tianbo has been researching, the [Poison Scorpion]! The power of the poison scorpion is quite terrifying. When it was in the dragon cave, a test product caused a team of hundreds of people to lose their weapons and armor. In the end, Yan Mochou and Mo Luoning paid a huge price to shut it down. Remember, it is to shut it down, not to destroy it.
If the poisonous scorpion that day was embedded with blood stone, hundreds of people would have been unable to escape from the dragon cave even if they had wings.
Therefore, to the disciples of the Mohist School, the Blood Essence Stone is a sacred item.
I didn’t expect to get so many blood stones in this remote place!
"What do you use the blood stone for?" Shi Yan was a little curious. According to the experiment, the blood stone has no other use except as the energy source of the puppet. So he was very confused about whether the blood stone was a necessity for the little demon tribe. Eat? Crackling teeth!
"Are you talking about red flower stone?" Potato asked Shi Yan with his big eyes.
Shi Yan nodded, "Yes, it's that red stone, um... red flower stone."
Potato said "oh" and then shook his head blankly. "I don't really understand either. I'm a warrior of the tribe, and the red flower stone is what the technicians need. They know more about it. How about this, you go to our tribe and ask my grandfather directly?! My grandfather is the chief technician of the tribe~!"
Mo Zixie stepped forward, tugged at Shi Yan's sleeve, and whispered in his ear, "Go and take a look. I think our trip to the Sun Tribe will yield great rewards."
The group notified the disciples who were at the teleportation array and waited for them to arrive.
"Um...alright! Let's go!"
"This area is all chicken snake territory, so there are no other creatures. It is relatively safe no matter day or night." Potato said: "However, the chicken snake's aura will gradually disappear, and this place will return to the previous situation where there were hundreds of creatures surviving."
"By the way, how did you put such a big cockatrice into such a small bag?"
"This is the first time I've seen creatures like you. Hehe, although you're not as pretty as our little demons, you're not bad either."
Along the way, Potato chattered non-stop, either asking questions, or praising the good looks of the little demon tribe, or singing the praises of the greatness of the little demon tribe.
Everything else was fine, except when Tu Dou said that he didn't look as good as the little demons, Shi Yan actually had an urge to beat him up.
Finally, the sky was getting brighter, and a small hill came into view. On the top of the hill, there was a "tower" made of unknown material. Let's call it a tower. It was a rectangular block with many strange things installed around it, which looked like crossbows or cannons. This thing should be a sentinel and defense turret of the Sunflower Tribe of the Little Demon Clan.
There are also turrets in the world of cultivators, but they are a type of tower that uses energy stones in conjunction with formations. They are extremely powerful, but have a very slow firing rate and are only used as defensive fortifications in large cities.
A small head popped out from the turret, similar to Potato, "Potato, you're finally back. You've been missing for a few days, and he was worried to death."
Potato said proudly, "Tomato, I went out this time and eliminated the biggest threat to our tribe. Grandpa will be proud of me!"
Tomato was stunned, not knowing what Potato was talking about. He lowered an escalator and welcomed everyone to go up.
When we reached the top of the turret, we discovered that there was a cave in the center of the turret, which extended downwards and was estimated to reach about 100 meters below the hillside.
There was a huge iron platform on the cave. According to Potato, they stood on that iron plate. The platform was very large, and there was still a lot of space for everyone to stand on it. Then the little demon named Tomato turned a wrench on the right side of the platform. Shi Yan only felt the platform vibrate for a while, and then there was a cloning sound under his feet, and the platform under his feet actually began to drop automatically.
Mo Zixie looked at the platform under his feet in surprise. When the platform dropped into the hole, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak: "This... This is..."
The same is true for Mo Chou, and not only them, but many other Mohist disciples are the same as them.
The platform continued to descend, and strange lights were inlaid on the walls along the way, preventing the space from being too dark.
Suddenly, the space opened up and a huge underground cave appeared before everyone's eyes.
This is clearly an underground city. Although most of the buildings in the city are short, its scale is no different from some medium-sized cities in the Xuanlong Realm.
Besides being shocked, Shi Yan also discovered that there were many strange and bizarre things here. These things looked like cockscomb puppets, but they were somewhat different from mechanical puppets.
"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Mo Zixie clapped his hands and laughed, "This is the utopia that our ancestors dreamed of!"
Shi Yan was very surprised.
Mo Zixie explained, "The utopia described by our ancestors is just like this underground city, a world of mechanisms. Although the little demons are ugly and short, they use mechanisms to perfection. Sigh, I have studied mechanisms and puppets for decades, but I am not as good as these little guys. I am really ashamed."
Shi Yan didn't expect that the little demon tribe actually had such ability!
After getting off the platform, led by Tu Dou, they came to a big house in the city center. "This is my home." Then, he looked at Shi Yan shyly and said, "I have something to ask of you. I hope you will agree to it."
Shi Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
Potato's big eyes rolled around, and he climbed onto Shi Yandao's shoulder and whispered, "When grandpa smells it later, just say I killed the chicken snake, okay?"
Shi Yan's face was strange. This guy might not be big, but he had a big heart. You, a small guy, can defeat a chicken snake? Anyone who believes this is an idiot.
Who would have thought that Potato's grandfather actually believed it...
Shi Yan was speechless as he looked at the skinny old man in front of him. He was half the height of a potato and looked similar, but he had a long beard and a cane...
"I knew it. When I was young, I caught a roc in the sky and a dragon in the sea. How could the grandson I gave birth to be useless? Haha, I knew it. It's just a chicken snake. There's no way it can be a match for my potato."
Shi Yan was even more speechless. These grandparents and grandchildren were both boastful.
"I don't have anything good to treat you, just eat whatever you want!" Potato's grandfather ordered the servants to bring a table full of strange things, and then talked.
Gurgle. Shi Yan swallowed his saliva and looked at the... um, well, let's call it food! "This... is a bit hard to eat."
"This is ivy. It's delicious with blueberry sauce."
"And this black one is magic mud, the most delicious thing in Yunmo Swamp. The production is very small, and I usually can't bear to eat it myself."
"This is called water bamboo. Cut a section open and you can drink the sweet bamboo juice inside."
Shi Yan side-glanced at Mo Zixie. "Well, I'll just sacrifice myself." Mo Zixie reached out helplessly and took a piece of ivy and dipped it into the bowl of blue berry sauce beside him. Looking at the blue sticky sauce on the soft green plant in his hand, Mo Zixie's stomach churned. "At least it won't kill me!" Mo Zixie closed his eyes, opened his mouth and threw it in.
As soon as it entered his mouth, the fresh and sweet taste instantly exploded in his mouth. He felt refreshed. "Good stuff!" Mo Zixie chewed excitedly. The sweetness of the blueberry jam completely blended the astringent taste of the ivy, leaving only a fresh and refreshing taste. Mo Zixie also felt a trace of soft spiritual power seeping into his body along the tip of his tongue.
"Is it delicious? Have another sip of sunflower stone juice." Grandpa Potato said, "This is a drink similar to water bamboo, but the taste is different. Water bamboo is sweet, but sunflower stone juice has a special feeling. You guys try it."
Sunflower stone... Shi Yan felt a chill, and even stones could be drunk... Mo Zixie, who had tasted the sweetness, drank it all in one gulp without hesitation. The lightly salty liquid did not enter the stomach, but flowed into the meridians along the esophagus, warming the muscles and bones. It was like a mellow wine that had been hidden for hundreds of years. Mo Zixie enjoyed it to the extreme, with an intoxicated look on his face.
Shi Yan looked at Mo Zixie with surprise, and tried it half-believingly. He didn't know until he tried it, and he was shocked!
Several people couldn't stop eating the whole table! After finishing the meal, they still felt unsatisfied.
I didn’t expect that these scary-looking things could be so delicious!
After eating and drinking, Grandpa Potato arranged several places for everyone to rest.
Although the little demons are relatively short in stature, they like big things. The house is not high, but Shi Yan has to stretch his hand to touch the ceiling. The bed is also big enough for sleeping.
I originally thought that the bed would be the same size as those of the little demon tribe, so that several beds would have to be put together to be enough for one person to sleep.
After not having a good rest for a long time, everyone came to their residence, washed themselves, and then fell asleep with their hands on the pillows.
I slept for a very long time.
Shi Yan was not worried that the little demons would do something sneaky while they were asleep. Bai Ze said that although the little demons were more narcissistic, arrogant, and boastful, they were still relatively simple and honest.
When I woke up, it was already night. I couldn't tell whether it was day or night in the cave, but there was a light on the top of the cave. At night, the light on the top of the cave would go out, and the street lights on the street would light up.
After Shi Yan woke up, a little demon... let's say a female demon, led him to a place. After fiddling with a pipe clamp, water actually spit out of the pipe.
Even though Shi Yan was used to seeing strange things, he was still stunned. In the past, he would just dive into a basin full of water to take a bath, but this was the first time he had seen someone spit out water without any support.
So amazing!
"Sir, please wash up here. The clan leader said that tonight he will hold the world's largest banquet to welcome you and Master Potato back home."
The world's largest banquet...
