Beizhou, the far north.
Wei Dao and Tian Li came to the place where Tian Heng found the Blood Demon Ancestor before, but it was already deserted. The two entered the barrier and saw only corpses on the ground, all of which were dried corpses that had been drained of blood.
"The ground is full of blood. How many people's blood did this Blood Demon Ancestor suck?"
"This guy has become a force to be reckoned with."
"It's difficult to deal with it."
Both sighed. According to their observations of this place, the Blood Demon Ancestor's strength is extraordinary. He is definitely not an ordinary God of Transformation. It is very likely that he has reached the level of Return to Void.
"Brother Wei, what should we do next?"
"Investigate. Beizhou has spent so much effort. It is the capital for our turnaround. We can't give up just because of a Blood Demon Ancestor."
"Okay, we can only continue to investigate and see if there are any clues in the surrounding demon tribes."
"Go back and mobilize people. It will take a long time for the two of us to investigate. Now I'm afraid that the Blood Demon Ancestor will fight guerrilla warfare with us."
Wei Dao said. Beizhou is too big, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and they are not familiar with this place. Relying on the two of them, I really don't know how long it will take. Now they can only use the human wave tactics.
Wei Dao sent a message back to Xiaotian City, but Xiao Lingyue did not refuse. She understood the overall situation and immediately transferred 2,000 people from Xiaotian City to the Far North.
"Teams of 10 to 20 people, and the distance between teams should not exceed 100 miles. Everyone, bring your means of communication and search from this place. Once you get any news, don't be stubborn, and immediately report and retreat..."
Wei Dao gave orders to the 2,000 people. Soon, the 2,000 people formed their own teams, and more than 100 teams dispersed in the Far North and disappeared in the snow.
Wei Dao held up a magic circle, which projected a light curtain with 2,000 red dots on it. It was cruel to say that the 2,000 people were actually bait. Once the bait was eaten, they would get the news.
········
"Greetings, Holy Ancestor."
Somewhere in the far north, more than 20 people knelt down to an old man in red. These 20 people had different appearances. Some had wings on their backs, some were covered with scales, and some had human heads and beast bodies. They were all from the human-demon tribe of Beizhou.
"Everyone, get up."
The Blood Demon Ancestor nodded and asked everyone to get up.
"Reporting to the Holy Ancestor, many human beings have come outside and are tracking down the whereabouts of the ancestor."
"I know, so this year's tribute, I want ten times more."
"Ah"
"Why, you are not allowed?"
The Blood Demon Ancestor glanced coldly, and more than 20 people immediately shrank their necks and dared not look at him.
The Blood Demon Ancestor was very satisfied with the performance of the man in front of him. Seven or eight hundred years ago, he was still a member of the bandits in Beizhou. He rose to prominence because he accidentally got a copy of the "Blood Demon Sutra". At first, he secretly killed people to take blood to practice martial arts, and then he killed a lot.
Until he was exposed and attacked by the bandits of Beizhou, although he was very strong, he was no match for them. He was seriously injured and fled to the far north, and survived by chance. After
the limelight passed, the Blood Demon Ancestor changed his strategy and used half-force and half-deception to make these demon tribes worship him as the holy ancestor and pay tribute to him every year, and the tribute was their people.
The life of these demon tribes was really miserable. They were driven into this icy and snowy environment by humans. There was not enough food to eat. A large number of people died every year, either from hunger, or from conflicts with other tribes or demons, or from other hazards.
After the Blood Demon Ancestor's deception, they agreed to contribute the old and weak in the tribe to him, and the Blood Demon Ancestor helped them resist the harm of the demons and mediate conflicts between tribes. After
almost five hundred years, it was known that the Blood Demon Ancestor's cultivation had reached the peak of the transformation of the spirit. If he wanted to break through, he needed a lot of blood, and ordinary offerings were not enough. This is when he came out and devoured the patrolling troops of Xiaotian City.
"Don't worry, this is the last time that the ancestor will ask for your tribute. When the ancestor's magical power is perfected, he will lead you to conquer Xiaotian City and let your tribe migrate to a warm place where you can farm, hunt, and practice martial arts..."
Seeing that everyone was silent, the Blood Demon Ancestor continued to fool people, and drew one pie after another, and everyone's eyes widened.
They were extremely eager for a warm environment, so that they could farm. With food, their newborn children would no longer starve to death, and they would not have to fight with the demons, and they would not have to collect dangerous specialties. This pie was too tempting for them.
"Saint Ancestor, how much tribute do you want this time?"
"Each tribe can take out a quarter of the tribesmen. You must remember that their sacrifice is not in vain, and you will be rewarded in the future..."
The Blood Demon Ancestor was still fooling people, making more than 20 people excited like chicken blood, and they were already imagining a beautiful picture in the future.
After fooling people, the Blood Demon Ancestor asked them to go back and prepare, and when the time came, he would collect the tribute.
Two days later, the Blood Demon Ancestor quietly appeared in a tribe of demons. The tribesmen who were regarded as tribute had gathered in a house. Countless bloodworms rushed out and rushed into the house. After a scream, they returned to calm.
"It's really delicious."
The Blood Demon Ancestor waved his hand, and a large group of bloodworms returned to his body, sending the blood they absorbed into his body, and he immediately began to refine it.
"What should I do if I'm not full?"
Soon after, the Blood Demon Ancestor showed an unhappy look. These tributes were basically old and weak, and their strength was too weak. Even their blood essence did not have much energy.
The Blood Demon Ancestor looked at the other houses in the tribe. Now I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at them. Then the Blood Demon Ancestor made a move again, and more bloodworms appeared and rushed into other houses.
"Holy Ancestor, you..."
"It's your honor to be the blood food of this deity."
The Blood Demon Ancestor said no more and increased the output. The people of the human demon tribe finally woke up and began to fight back, but how could they be the opponent of the Blood Demon Ancestor? After a while, the whole tribe was left with only silence.
The Blood Demon Ancestor left quietly and came to the next tribe, but there was no one in the tribe at this time, which surprised the Blood Demon Ancestor. He said, "There are still smart people."
However, the Blood Demon Ancestor was not angry. He controlled so many tribes not just by fooling people. It didn't matter if there were smart people, because he had other means.
A bloodworm flew out of the Blood Demon Ancestor's body. The bloodworm circled in the air for a few circles, and then flew out of the tribe. The Blood Demon Ancestor followed all the way and finally found a cave in a valley.
"Tsk tsk, blood food gathered together, just saved the ancestor from looking everywhere."
The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed. There were people in every tribe who were manipulated by him. If they wanted to run, where could they run?
The Blood Demon Ancestor rushed into the cave, and after a burst of killing, he walked out with satisfaction.
"It's almost there, it's almost there, just slaughter a few more tribes, it's enough,"
the Blood Demon Ancestor thought to himself, getting closer and closer to returning to the void, only a layer of window paper was left, as long as this layer of window paper was broken, he would be the boss of returning to the void.
Thinking of this, the Blood Demon Ancestor became even more anxious and quickly rushed to the tribes behind. It didn't matter whether they were fooled or some smart people had awakened. They couldn't escape.
When he came to the tenth tribe, before he entered, he heard a loud shout "Who is it?"
"People from Xiaotian City?"
The Blood Demon Ancestor was a little surprised that he met the people from Xiaotian City here. He didn't know if it was good luck.
"Kill them and offer them to the Holy Ancestor."
Before the Blood Demon Ancestor made a move, the people from those tribes took the lead in launching an attack and killed the people from Xiaotian City.
"Blood Demon Ancestor"
Those people from Xiaotian City wanted to cry but had no tears. They were just lazy, so they found a tribe to rest. How did they meet the Blood Demon Ancestor? If there is a next life, they will never dare to be lazy again.
