◎Sweet bamboo seedlings, or bamboo bear cubs?◎
After asking Silves, Sur learned that they had to pretend to be nature elves in front of the beastmen. He struggled all night about what to wear, and finally realized with great sadness that no matter what clothes he wore, he could not save himself.
God have mercy on her, even her height is much shorter than that of the nature elves!
Before setting off the next day, Sur nervously asked the Demon King what identity he should disguise himself as.
"I know you don't look like a nature elf," Warren laughed. "It doesn't matter. Just pretend to be a nature elf cub."
Soul was shocked.
She is a nightmare demon who has lived for more than two hundred years, and one day she disguises herself as a cub again!
Complaints aside, she finally understood why the king took her to the beast tribe. No matter which race, they were more tolerant of the cubs, and both communication and conversation were smoother.
Thinking of this, she shrank down to the height of an apple, happily climbed onto the king's shoulders, fixed herself next to the shoulder buckle of Warren's windbreaker, and cheered: "I have always wanted to be treated like a cub!"
Warren smiled, grabbed Silvester's shoulders, and teleported quickly.
...
...
Compared to before, he has now practiced these kinds of magic to a high degree. In a few flashes, he has reached the edge of the Demon Realm. However, this time he did not plan to leave from the broken place. Instead, he changed the place and made a crack, letting Silvester and Sur go through first. When they all left the Demon Realm, the crack closed automatically.
"This is amazing," Silvester said with his eyes wide open in amazement. He felt that this barrier was different from what he saw yesterday. "How did they do this?"
"I couldn't sleep last night, so I came here to adjust the formation in front of the barrier," Warren explained. "Originally, this barrier was jointly set up by the God King, the Beast King, and the Nature Elf King. The magic source was also light magic and nature magic. Now the magic power is exhausted and it is on the verge of breaking. I changed the magic source to dark magic. Now the opening and closing of this barrier are all decided by the demons."
The God King and the Beast King had been keeping a close eye on the barrier, fearing that Warren would break the barrier and release all the demons. However, they had not considered that Warren had no intention of destroying the barrier directly - with a slight improvement it could become the first layer of protection for the Demon Realm, and even the materials and magic arrays were ready-made. This kind of good thing would normally be hard to find even with a lantern.
So everyone was asleep yesterday, but the king was working in the dark? Su Er was in awe, but couldn't help but feel a little worried: "King, you should take care of your rest. Just let me do this kind of thing."
Warren agreed and flew in the air. This time he did not go to the serval tribe, but flew directly to the bamboo bears' territory and landed on a mountain not far away, watching the bamboo bears who were cutting trees to build houses.
The entire mountain top was leveled to create a piece of land of about 100 meters, on which sweet bamboos were neatly planted. Apparently, there were no sweet bamboos growing here before, but the bamboo bears brought the sweet bamboo seedlings with them when they left their original homes.
"These bamboo bears are really hardworking," Warren praised after watching them for a while, "and their animal forms are also very cute."
Soul nodded in agreement. "It would be better if they built a house that wasn't so crooked."
As for Silvester, he saw several kinds of plants that he had never seen before. With shining eyes, he took out a small shovel and started digging the soil, wanting to carry all the plants back to the Demon King's Palace.
Seeing that he was digging happily, Warren thought for a moment and handed him a crystal stone with warning magic: "You collect plants here, and Sur and I will go to Bamboo Bear to check first. If there is any danger, crush the crystal stone immediately and I will come right over."
Silvester nodded happily.
He had no interest in cats or bamboo bears. After realizing yesterday that the Outer Realm was not as perfect as his ancestors had boasted, and after hearing the serval's misunderstanding and rejection of the demons, he didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore. He only hoped to move all these beautiful plants back to the Demon Realm and plant them, making their own home a better place.
Warren originally planned to bring back some more experimental materials for Feiwu. It would be most efficient if they could act separately. However, he was a little worried about leaving Silvester alone. After thinking for a while, he instructed, "If you don't have time to crush the crystal, then shout for help. I'll pay attention to the sound over here."
After saying that, he picked up Sul, turned around lightly, jumped off the cliff, and walked down in mid-air as if he was walking up stairs. In the blink of an eye, he had landed at the foot of the mountain and quickly approached the Bamboo Bear Clan.
The bamboo bear, who was chopping wood with an axe, moved his ears and was the first to realize that another tribe was approaching. He turned his head cautiously and held the stone axe tightly in his hand: "Who is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bamboo bears nearby gathered around.
They looked fat and were quite fast, nimbly jumping over trees and unfinished houses. Dozens of them gathered together, looking fiercely at the shaking bushes ahead.
Warren calmly walked through the bushes, brushed off the leaves that had just fallen on him, and waved to the bamboo bears in a friendly manner: "Hello."
The leading bamboo bear tilted its head, as if thinking about something. After a moment, it put down its weapon and looked at him embarrassedly: "I thought you were an orc guard sent by the Beast King to kill us."
Warren keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the bamboo bear's attitude towards him. He raised his eyebrows slightly. This time he did not mention his fake identity as a nature elf. Instead, he calmly walked forward a few steps until the bamboo bear became so nervous that his eyes were bright with dark circles under them, then he smiled with curved lips.
"Hello," he said, "I'm here to do business with you."
Chief Bamboo Bear's heart sank.
When the Bamboo Bear Tribe was driven to the border of the Beast Realm by the Beast King, he realized that something was wrong.
Although the Beast King has always been dissatisfied with the Bamboo Bear Tribe that supported the previous Beast King, there are only about 300 bamboo bears in the Bamboo Bear Tribe, and they all plant bamboo in the village peacefully. They are not a threat to him, and it is not worth it for him to risk offending other bear tribes to deal with them.
Therefore, when the Beast King expelled the Bamboo Bears in the name of colluding with the Demon Clan, most of the Beast Clan thought that the Beast King was taking revenge on his own. However, the Bamboo Bear Clan leader felt that the Beast King's purpose was probably not to drive away the Bamboo Bear Clan, but to use the Bamboo Bear Clan as the first line of defense against the Demon Clan - to put it bluntly, he was using them as cannon fodder.
On the surface, intimidated by the power of the Beast King, most beast tribes have no connection with the Bamboo Bear Tribe, but in fact, the Bamboo Bear Tribe has a good relationship with the White Bear Tribe, the Raccoon Tribe and other tribes.
After leaving the Beast City, Chief Bamboo Bear received their message and learned that the Beast King was still frantically investigating all tribes that might have connections with the Demons, and even slaughtered the entire Sloth Bear tribe in a rage. He then realized that his guess was not wrong, and that the barrier that sealed all the Demons might have a breach.
However, even though he guessed it, Chief Takekuma had no intention of being so foolish as to risk the lives of his entire clan to fight the demons.
He led his people to settle down and plant bamboo, praying that the demons would not attack the beast world from this direction. At the same time, he prepared to dig a large underground cave, where all the bamboo bears could hide for refuge.
As for surrender, he had never thought about it. It's not that they, who had a grudge against the Beast King, would have any virgin mentality, but in the legends of the beast world, the demons were a group of ugly, bloodthirsty, murderous lunatics who were almost impossible to communicate with. The result of being infected by the dark power was that they would also become such lunatics.
Chief Bamboo Bear felt that this was the reason why the Beast King felt at ease in sending them to the border - as long as they did not want to be killed by the demons, they could only take up arms and fight the demons, thus fulfilling the Beast King's own requirements of them.
But now it seems that the demon in front of him is as good-looking as a natural elf, and the way he speaks does not sound like a madman with no IQ. Chief Bamboo Bear is extremely nervous, his brain is working rapidly, thinking about what kind of deal the demon wants to make with him.
Should they exchange their lives for information about the beastmen, or force them to hand over the cubs in the tribe and perform some evil black magic rituals?
"I'd like to trade my clay pot for some sweet bamboo seedlings," Warren asked. "Do you think that's okay?"
The Bamboo Bear tribe leader was stunned.
Using a clay pot to exchange for a sweet bamboo seedling? How could this behavior be associated with the demon clan? How could it be so unreasonable!
"Are you sure you want to exchange for sweet bamboo seedlings, not bamboo bear cubs?" he asked tentatively. "We call them bamboo bears, and sweet bamboo is the green, straight plant that grows over there. Are you confused?"
Before Warren could say anything, Sur, who was following behind him, couldn't help but speak.
She looked at the bamboo bears in shock. Her cute voice, which she had prepared in advance, broke instantly as she asked loudly, "You actually traded with your cubs?"
Being looked at with contempt by Sur, Chief Bamboo Bear was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute.
Obviously, these two guys who suddenly broke in are the demons! Why are they the ones whose moral standards are questioned?
"We are only here to exchange for sweet bamboo," Warren cleared his throat. Although he could tell that the Bamboo Bear Chief only asked such a question because he had heard of the brutal reputation of the demons, he still couldn't help teasing him. "But I didn't expect that the cubs of your tribe could also be exchanged. How many pottery jars would it take to exchange for one cub?"
The chief of the Bamboo Bear tribe finally reacted, and this time he even forgot to be afraid: "No! We won't change!"
Warren almost laughed out loud.
"The sweet bamboo of your tribe is delicious. I want to transplant some to the Demon Realm and cultivate it into a crop for the Demon Realm," he explained to the Bamboo Bear Chief in a serious manner. "We are going to use pottery pots to exchange for sweet bamboo seedlings and sweet bamboo planting methods. You can take a look at the quality of these pottery pots first."
As he spoke, he created a space crack in the air, took out a round clay pot and handed it to the Bamboo Bear Chief.
Having once lived in the imperial capital and having a very good relationship with the previous Beast King, and being quite powerful himself, the Bamboo Bear Chieftain naturally had some experience. When he saw Warren using space magic so easily, a look of awe suddenly appeared on his face.
The rumors were really not credible at all, he muttered in his heart, what about the saying that the demons were all ugly and bloodthirsty lunatics? Not only were they good-looking and gentle, but the clothes they wore were also more glamorous than those of the gods!
