Chapter 109 Chapter 109
After resolving the early obstacles, Phoenix began to implement his initial plan.
For the demon race, the definition of the word "same" is very narrow.
In their eyes, creatures with different colors are not of the same kind, creatures with different body structures are not of the same kind, creatures with different cultivation methods are not of the same kind... These invisible barriers divide the demon race into different groups, causing them to fight each other.
This is one of the sources of chaos in the world today.
The idea of the phoenix is actually very simple, that is to eliminate these barriers and expand the concept of the same race from a specific group to the entire demon race. In layman's terms, it is to make the gray pigeons and white pigeons become pigeons, and pigeons and sparrows will all become feathered people, and so on.
Some friction may arise between several different ethnic groups, but when they merge into a large collective, the collective identity will allow each individual to spontaneously maintain it and restrain each other for the common good.
Judging from the current situation of the demon race, this is the most appropriate method.
"What Master Fenghuang said does make some sense." At the banquet, the peacock tribe leader said in a deep voice. He seemed a little tempted, but the next second he turned the topic to the monsters: "I wonder what the elders think?"
Those who could appear at this banquet were naturally high-ranking members of the Peacock Clan, who had a certain say in the clan. After the clan leader said this, they looked at each other for a few seconds, and then began to talk in a low voice.
Feng Huang sat in the guest seat, chuckled and raised his glass to show respect. You Lin stood behind him expressionlessly, silently acting as a guard.
Although they were on their home turf and the opponents were only these two monsters, no one dared to underestimate them. After all, one was a notoriously fierce dragon king, and the other was a mysterious and low-key phoenix. The tragic situation of the South China Sea dragon clan a few days ago was still fresh in people's minds, and no monster wanted to touch them now.
After several discussions, an old peacock with gray hair stood up tremblingly. He first bowed to the peacock leader, and then looked at the phoenix.
"Master Phoenix, please forgive me for being blunt. Since ancient times, there have been many monsters who wanted to accomplish this, but I'm sure you know what the result would be. The current situation is like this, it's not that we don't want to change, but we are powerless."
"You may boast of your great strength and think that you can carve out a kingdom with your strength. But to be frank, which of the four great beasts today has not tried the same idea as you?"
"If we were still young, we might have followed you with enthusiasm, but now we are old, and the young children in the tribe have not yet grown up. None of us dare to gamble. If we lose, we will lose everything."
As soon as these words came out, all the peacock monsters nodded. The peacock tribe was not very strong to begin with, and if they unfortunately lost a lot of combat power and were defeated in the end, then only destruction would be waiting for them.
Phoenix said: "I understand everyone's concerns, but some things have to be done by someone. The repeated trials and errors of our predecessors have provided us with valuable experience and eliminated many detours. If we give up just because we are afraid of failure, not only will we waste the efforts of our predecessors, but we will also be irresponsible to future generations."
"Besides, the alliance does not mean that the Peacock Clan will bear all the risks. It is a mutually beneficial thing. The larger the territory we advance, the more benefits you can gain as our allies. And under the shock of the powerful tribe, those tribes that harass you will have to think more carefully, which can also provide a stable space for the cubs to grow."
"Besides, I don't think I will fail in this matter." Phoenix said with a burning gaze.
The debate continued late into the night, until the patriarch finally spoke up and ended the conversation.
"After all, the alliance involves a lot of things. As the head of the clan, I have to consider the elders and children of the clan more. It would be too hasty to make a decision right now. I need to discuss this matter with the clan members for a few more days. I hope you will forgive me." After saying this, the clan leader sent his men to present a piece of jade and said, "Of course, no matter what the result is, I will contact you in time through this jade."
Feng Huang gladly accepted it. He understood that this was a stepping stone from the other party, and although he did not accept it immediately, he still left room for maneuver.
"Then wait for good news."
After the banquet, the clan leader sent people to see them off. Halfway through the journey, a green-faced kid squeezed in, raised his head and said to the guards, "Okay, you can go back. I will personally see you off."
The guards looked at each other and retreated silently, leaving only one to follow the young man.
"Who are you?" Feng Huang chuckled. He was very interested in this little guy and couldn't help but want to tease him.
"My name is Miao, and I'm the young master of the Peacock Clan." The little peacock said. "I'm very interested in what you said at the banquet just now. In fact, we had heard about you before you came, but no one was very optimistic about you."
"What do you mean?"
"Because the risk is too great. You may not know that many of our elders tried to do this when they were young, but they all failed. As a result, the strength of the peacock tribe gradually declined, and since then, no one has thought about it."
Phoenix asked him: "So what do you think?"
"Of course I think we should give it a try. If it doesn't work once, there are still eight, nine, and ten times. There will always be a day when we can succeed. I think what you said is very right. It would be too mean to be scared off after a few failures. This young master cultivates to eliminate all the injustices in the world!"
Phoenix chuckled and said, "We think so too. Someone has to do some things."
"If my dad doesn't agree to you, you can come to me. Although I can't go on the adventure with you at this stage, I will do my best to help you if you need it."
The little peacock tilted his head back, his eyes burning. Phoenix narrowed his eyes, couldn't help but stretch out his hand to rub the other's chubby face, and said, "Thank you very much, young master."
"Hmph, don't look at me with those slimy eyes. It's not like I don't want anything in return." He hesitated for a moment: "Your bird tribe's plan--"
"It's the Feather Tribe."
Compared to the demon tribe, the little peacock was more concerned about the concept of the middle-stage feather tribe: "Oh, it doesn't matter. Anyway, is the plan you mentioned true?"
He thought, if this thing really succeeds, the future will be very beautiful. We are all of the same race, we are all family, and we will no longer fight over trivial matters.
After getting a positive answer from the phoenix, the little peacock said, "Actually, I hate fighting. Many times, those tribesmen and friends who were very kind to me, I never saw them again after fighting with other tribes."
"By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know your real name. I can't just call you Phoenix, right?"
The peacock guards standing by almost broke out in a cold sweat.
This is what it means that a newborn ox is not afraid of a tiger. Few monsters dare to chase a big monster and ask for its real name.
Phoenix thought this little guy's straightforwardness was adorable: "I already told you my real name a long time ago."
"Tell me?" The little peacock tilted his head and thought carefully for a while: "Don't tell me, your real name is Phoenix."
"..." Phoenix smiled but said nothing.
The purpose of naming is to distinguish, but he is the only one in the Phoenix clan. If he goes out and calls out "Phoenix", he will know who he is calling, so there is no need to give him another name.
"Okay." He tilted his head and looked at You Lin: "Then your name is Long Zun?"
"It's You Lin, not Long Zun." You Lin uttered these two sentences expressionlessly.
Just when Little Peacock thought he would remain silent, You Lin spoke again: "Your name is Meow?"
"No, it's Miao, Sanshui Miao."
Feng Huang was a little curious: "Xiao Sanshui, do you have a brother named Sanhuo?"
"It's Miao..." Forget Sanshui. "No, but I plan to name my future child Sanhuo, which is Yan."
"Hmm?" Phoenix felt that she might have been out of touch with the young demons for too long and couldn't understand what they were thinking. Looking at the color of the corners of their mouths, which were still tender yellow, she had already begun to think about what to call her future cub.
"It's like this, my father's name is Sanmu, my grandfather's name is Sanjin, our family is to follow the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, this way the five elements will be reincarnated endlessly, and my peacock family will last for thousands of years." Speaking of this, the little peacock's face was suddenly full of pride. He thought that the demon who came up with this method was a genius, and this genius was his ancestor, so he was also a genius.
The road was not long and they soon reached the foot of the mountain.
"That's it."
The little peacock said reluctantly: "I will persuade my father about the alliance when I go back. If the future can really become what you said, I think we should try our best no matter what. This is also for our tribe, no, for the future bird tribe, to fight for a bright and brilliant future!"
…
When they came out of the peacock tribe's territory, the "tall and strong" Bai Yu'er was already waiting there. When he saw the two of them coming out, he immediately rubbed his hands and looked expectant: "How is it, boss? Is it going well?"
"It's OK. It depends on their reply in a few days. Let's go back."
You Lin quietly walked aside to try to reduce his presence, but Bai Yu'er hugged You Lin's shoulders with a radiant look on her face and patted him hard: "Hey, don't hide from me all the time. I've always said that I have thick skin and can withstand a lot of beatings. Your two moves on me are not as powerful as scrubbing me in the bath."
“……” Although I know it’s a comfort, I still feel a sense of frustration for some reason.
In an unnoticed corner, a pair of eyes quietly disappeared.
The phoenix seemed to sense something and turned around, only to find that there was nothing behind her.
…
Just as the little peacock said, many monsters were in a wait-and-see phase. Three days passed, and Phoenix did not receive a reply from the peacock tribe.
Until the early morning of the fourth day, the jade stone used for communication cracked without any warning, and a cloud of blood mist gushed out from it.
"Oh no, something happened to the Peacock Tribe."
