Chapter 110 Chapter 110
When the phoenix arrived, it was too late.
The peacock tribe land that was still prosperous three days ago is now in ruins. The originally exquisite and elegant houses have been torn into pieces, and a huge claw mark remains on a piece of wooden structure that is still intact.
Bai Yuer stepped forward and stretched out his bear paw to compare, and found that the killer's claws were much larger than his.
Phoenix stood quietly in an open space, watching the little demons sort out the corpses one by one and line them up neatly. I don't know if the murderer has any special hobbies, but almost none of the corpses under the white cloth are intact, and they have all been bitten a few times.
In today's world, it's not uncommon for monsters to eat monsters. But this is definitely not for eating, it's more like playing and teasing.
"Boss, this accident might not be caused by a fight over territory or resources, but rather a simple killing of one party by another. And there is only one enemy, so he must be very powerful to be able to do this." After comparing every claw mark left at the scene, Bai Yu'er deduced that they all came from the same monster.
He looked at the corpses with a look of pity and said, "I don't know which turtle grandson did such a heartless thing, not even sparing the cubs. The corners of this child's mouth are still tender yellow, and he hasn't even had time to grow up..."
"Ah! Sir, please spare my life. I confess. I confess everything. Don't eat me, wuwuwuwu."
You Lin found a rat demon from somewhere, and seeing that the man was carrying a lot of things and acting stealthily, he pressed him to the ground without saying a word. Under the influence of pain and extreme fear, the rat demon burst into a sharp explosion.
"Who are you and why are you here?" You Lin asked coldly. With every force he exerted, the rat demon cried even harder.
"I just came here to pick up the rags, I didn't do anything else. These monsters have nothing to do with me. They were already like this when I came. My Lord, you know it clearly."
Feng Huang was so annoyed by the noise that she rubbed her forehead and said, "You Lin, let him go."
After the rat demon gained his freedom, he immediately ran to the phoenix's legs and knelt down with a thud, fearing that You Lin would use his gun to shoot him out of the ground again.
"Don't be afraid, we just want to ask you, how did you know that something happened to the Peacock Clan?" Phoenix asked softly.
The gentle voice gradually calmed the rat demon down: "To be honest, we are under the protection of the peacock tribe, and the tribe's territory is also close to us. We heard it almost immediately when the commotion was so loud."
"You heard it the first time, so didn't you help to seek help?" Bai Yu'er couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, since these little demons accepted the protection of the big demon tribe, they also had the responsibility to seek help from the outside world when the big demon was in danger.
After all, we can't rely on our own strength, but we should at least be able to call for help, right?
The rat demon looked desperate: "That's Taotie, a ferocious beast. Forget about going out to ask for help. We little demons should be thankful that we are not discovered."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Taotie, it's actually Taotie."
"It's over. He won't come back to kill us again, right?"
"With Lord Phoenix and Lord Dragon here, we'll be fine." Although they said so, the little demons still quickly increased their work speed.
Fortunately, the peacock tribe that suffered this disaster was not completely destroyed. While talking, the little demons managed to find some survivors, but they were too seriously injured and many of them were hanging on by half a breath. One of them struggled, grabbed the little demon beside him, and squeezed a space out of his throat, then his head tilted and he completely lost consciousness.
You Lin followed the direction and finally found a small black box in an inconspicuous corner.
Phoenix took the box and unleashed the spell on it. Soon, a green figure fell out of the box, and in the blink of an eye it returned from the size of a fingernail to its normal size.
It’s Miao.
The little peacock looked terrified, with two tear marks on his face. His emerald green feathers were covered with blood, weighing him down so hard that he could barely stand. He took a deep breath, still a little dazed by the tragic scene before him.
"Master Phoenix, why are you here? Where is the beast? Where are my parents?" Before the Phoenix could answer, the little peacock saw the white cloths. He seemed to understand something, and staggered towards the corpses, peeling off the white cloths one by one, searching.
When he finally saw those familiar faces, tears finally burst out like a broken dam. He raised his head and looked at the ruined home. Suddenly, his legs bent, and he knelt heavily on the ground, and fell headfirst: "I am willing to follow you until death, and I beg you, Master Phoenix, to avenge my peacock clan."
…
"What are you going to do next?" After dealing with the affairs of the Peacock Clan, You Lin followed Phoenix out for some fresh air. He could see the anger beneath his friend's calm exterior, and even if Phoenix didn't say it, You Lin could guess what he was going to do.
Phoenix raised her head and looked up at the sky, and said softly, "Of course, we will make that reckless guy pay the price."
"The title of ferocious beasts is only given to those guys who are powerful but cruel. Those guys have committed numerous blood debts and are not good people."
"In that case, we should meet for a while."
In fact, regardless of what happened today, as long as Phoenix wanted to carry out its plan, it would only be a matter of time before it encountered the ferocious beast.
…
Taotie's movements were erratic, and he seemed to have no fixed residence. Fortunately, after a period of tracking and investigation, Fenghuang finally found Taotie's location.
At that time it was "feeding" on another victim group.
It was still the same miserable scene, and the little peacock couldn't help shaking when he saw it for the first time. But even so, he insisted on following and seeing the enemy with his own eyes.
Just as Taotie was about to attack another monster, accompanied by the little monster's terrified scream, a stream of fiery red light flew from a distance and hit Taotie accurately, knocking its mouth crooked.
"Who!" The Taotie, whose eating was interrupted, became furious on the spot.
"Taotie, you're really hard for me to find." Feng Huang smiled gently. He walked over slowly, and the fan in his hand slowly unfolded, emitting a faint red light in the night.
Taotie turned around impatiently, saw who it was, and sneered on the spot: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be some naive little bird. I haven't even gone to cause you any trouble, but you took the initiative to bring it to me."
It noticed the presence of the little peacock and bared its fangs: "I was wondering why the little cub disappeared, it turns out he was with you."
Being stared at by those scarlet beastly eyes, the little peacock's feathers all exploded. He mustered up the courage to glare back angrily, and asked loudly: "Why do you do this? You were once a pioneer, and you gave everything for the people. Why do you want to degenerate and become like this now?"
"Why, why why?" Taotie pretended to be confused. He looked around and then suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean this? Hahahaha, do you need a reason to do this?"
"The strong prey on the weak, isn't that how the world works? I'm stronger than them, so I can do whatever I want to them. Killing them or eating them is all up to the strong. This is the truth of the world. There's no need to change this world. It's already rotten."
He looked at Phoenix and continued to mock him, "You said you wanted a bright future, but you can't even protect your allies. How can you lead them down this path? This is nothing more than a childish game."
"But you can't just play with the lives of my people and let them die without dignity!" The little peacock's heart was filled with grief and anger. He wanted to rush forward regardless of everything and make that bastard pay the price, but was pulled back by Bai Yu'er.
The black bear demon's tall body blocked the tiny peacock tightly.
"Don't stop me, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!"
"Don't be impulsive. What can you do with your weak arms and legs? He will even feel like you are getting stuck in his teeth when he eats you."
Phoenix looked at Taotie's crazy look and suddenly said, "Then according to what you said, let's compete. If I am stronger than you, I can deal with you at will, right?"
"Of course." Although he said so, Taotie did not take the phoenix seriously. In his eyes, the big monster in front of him was just the lord of a small hill. He only occupied such a small territory, how strong could he be? He was just a young man who didn't know his own weight.
As for Taotie, he has long been invincible. As long as he wants, anywhere in the world can be his territory. Moreover, his strength ranks first among the four ferocious beasts. How can a mere mountain lord defeat him?
"Okay." Phoenix suddenly smiled. A flash of red suddenly flashed in his eyes, which was the symbol of the great demon mobilizing all his demonic power.
Taotie didn't take it seriously at first, until the first fight when the phoenix cut off one of his horns. Then he realized something was wrong, and quickly mobilized all his demonic power, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Being a ferocious beast, its strength is naturally not bad, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top fighting force of the demon race. But even so, it is not good enough in front of the serious phoenix.
It was this battle that made the monsters that had been defeated by the Phoenix clearly realize how much the Phoenix had been lenient and how gentle it had been when it had been “reasoning” with them - it was truly reasoning.
By the end of the fight, there was no place left to stand. Taotie's demonic power was shattered, and he lay on the ground gasping for breath.
At this moment, his mind was blank. He saw the sky countless times before, but this time it was gray and lifeless. He struggled to get up, only to find that he had lost all feeling in his body. So he simply gave up and lay there motionless.
Taotie really couldn't understand how a mere mountain lord could have such a powerful force. He couldn't figure it out, so he just asked.
"I don't understand. You are so strong, why do you have to sympathize with those weaklings? You can have bigger territories and become famous. There is no need to be so depraved and become a protective umbrella for these wastes. They will be eliminated sooner or later."
Phoenix walked slowly in front of him and said only three words: "I am happy to do so."
"I'm happy to...hahahahaha." Taotie didn't say anything else, but laughed wildly for no apparent reason. As he laughed, he said, "My 'merciful' monarch, why don't you give me some advice? Maybe you can influence me."
"After all, I also longed for such a beautiful future when I was young..."
These were his last words.
Taotie died in the end, and Phoenix didn't want to keep him.
The hidden dangers brought by the living Taotie are too great, far beyond what they can bear. Maybe Taotie has experienced something, some hidden secret that made him fall from a pioneer step by step, but that is not a reason to ignore his sins.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its perpetrator. The death of Taotie can be regarded as a vengeance for the little demons who suffered from it. Moreover, only its death can serve as a warning to others.
——Whoever dares to do such a heartless thing in the future should first weigh his head carefully to see if he is as hard as a glutton.
You Lin looked at Phoenix's back and for the first time began to wonder how strong his best friend was. His intuition told him that Phoenix had not used his full strength in the battle with Taotie this time.
At the same time, the little demons looked at each other, and their gazes suddenly became firm, as if they had made some kind of decision.
Phoenix looked at the corpse of Taotie and breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, before fighting with this guy, he actually had no idea. After all, these beasts were known for their ferocity, and Phoenix had never really fought with them, so he didn't know how the two sides' strengths compared.
Therefore, when the battle just started, Phoenix had the idea of giving it his all, but he didn't expect that after just one move, the paper tiger nature of this guy was exposed.
So the four great beasts...seem to be just like that. Who made them so powerful?
Just as Feng Huang was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a series of thumping sounds coming from behind him. He turned around in confusion, only to see all the monsters behind him kneeling down.
The Phoenix was a little confused, and You Lin, the only one standing among the monsters, was also a little confused.
As if they had rehearsed it countless times, the demons shouted in unison: "We are willing to serve you as our king and offer you our complete loyalty."
Phoenix: ???
"What's going on? You guys..."
Seeing that the Phoenix was about to refuse, the demons shouted even louder: "Only you can lead our demon race to prosperity! King... No, Your Majesty the Demon King!!!"
"We swear to follow the Demon King till death!!!"
"His Majesty!!!"
"Your Majesty the Demon King!!!"
After all, the most powerful beast in the world could not survive a few moves under this person, which shows how strong he is. Moreover, perhaps only by following this person can the ideal world in the hearts of many predecessors become a reality.
Even if such a beautiful world of great harmony is just a pipe dream, as long as there is a slight possibility of realization, they are willing to give everything for it.
At this moment, You Lin finally reacted. The moment Feng Huang looked at him for help, he knelt on one knee. He knelt very quickly, very smoothly, and so shockingly.
"I will follow the Demon King till death!"
He even shouted louder than anyone else.
The Phoenix who was almost deafened: "..."
He dared to swear that this was the loudest he had ever heard You Lin shout since he met him.
