Chapter 251: The Grias Islands
Mang Tao was no longer interested in the story of how the Black Soil Tribe encountered the strange bird. He just wanted to know how to catch this strange bird.
"Every ten days, we will assist the Bird God in attacking the Red Reef Tribe." The old man said tremblingly.
Mang Tao asked: "When is the next time?"
"One day later." The old man replied.
According to the old man's description, this bird god is quite large, with a wingspan of two meters, a metal beak and sharp teeth, and a tongue with several tentacles, much like thin octopus tentacles. It usually flies high in the sky and will not land easily. When it catches prey, it will swoop down and grab the target with its hook-like claws.
When it eats, it prefers warm and soft internal organs to fat and flesh, so it will tear open a person's back and use its long tentacles and tongue to roll out the internal organs and eat them.
"Why would such a ferocious monster agree to your agreement? It can hunt on its own." This is what Mang Tao couldn't understand.
The old man lowered his head and answered in a low voice: "Maybe... it's because it can't see."
"Can't see?"
The old man nodded and said, "The bird god has no eyes. It cannot accurately find the location of its prey unless it is very close. So even if we tell it the address of the Red Reef Tribe, it will be useless. If we give it guidance..."
"How to guide?"
"Use the divine object to guide."
Mang Tao saw the magical object the old man mentioned, and found out that it was actually a weird object, a tiny feather. The salvation system determined that it came from the weird bird.
The strange bird cannot see and cannot detect the scent of prey more than five meters away, but it can clearly sense the presence of things that are tainted with its strange power. No matter how far away, it can locate the position of its own feathers.
So they just need to send a small team to sneak into the Red Reef Tribe with the feather and leave the feather there the night before. At the agreed time the next day, the strange bird will go there by itself.
Late-night infiltrations are occasionally discovered, but not often, and most of the time they are successful.
The old man was very proud of using such a small sacrifice to inflict heavy damage on the Red Reef Tribe. The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the Bird God had attacked the Red Reef Tribe so many times and killed so many people, but the population of the Red Reef Tribe was still thriving. Because of the decrease in the number of tribe members, the Red Reef Tribe even increased its attacks on female tribe members from other tribes, and even took young boys who were not very old and remembered much.
The crazy attacks of the Black Soil Tribe and the Weird Bird caused the Red Reef Tribe to plunder wildly, which in turn boosted the Black Soil Tribe's counterattack strength, and they tried their best to lure the Bird God into the Red Reef Tribe's base camp.
It's a vicious cycle.
Mang Tao was not interested in the hatred between the two tribes, nor did he intend to criticize the primitive tribe's way of survival, but he could not allow the weirdness to grow so recklessly.
The weird bird is different from the mud monster we encountered at the bottom of the lake before. It is really possible for the weird bird to be fed and raised to a level A or even higher monster.
In particular, this strange growth rate was too fast. According to the monitoring records of the salvation system, it took only three months for it to grow by two levels.
That day, Mangtao and Tong stayed in the Black Soil Tribe.
The men attacked by Tong woke up. Some of them wanted to continue attacking when they saw Tong, but were stopped by the old man. It was unknown what the old man talked to them. After that, the men in the tribe tried their best not to appear in front of Mangtao and Tong.
The old man treated Mangtao as a distinguished guest. Even though his arm, which was broken by Mangtao, was suspended with a linen belt, he insisted on using his other intact arm to hold the scepter and command the men in the tribe to take the woman on the wooden rack away and bury her.
The old man did not give them detailed instructions on what to do, but the men handled the corpse very skillfully, and it was obviously not their first time.
Mang Tao sat on a clean big rock, watching the people in the tribe busying about.
He took the strange feather into his own hand.
He took it from the old man.
He had a plan on how to lure this strange bird.
Tong: "You really don't need me to go?"
"You will be discovered." Mang Tao played with the feather in her hand, "Didn't you scare that guy away once?"
As an S-level monster, Tong's intimidation to other low-level monsters is extremely great.
"Unlike you who are a beast, I am very harmless." Mang Tao put the feather into his pocket and showed an innocent and cute smile.
The weirdness of trees is naturally better at disguising themselves than the weirdness of animals.
What's more, he is SSS grade.
As long as Mang Tao wanted, he could hide his weird aura and disguise himself as an ordinary child. Unless there was a weirdo of a higher level than him, no one would be able to see through him.
In this world, there is no one higher than him.
"You are no longer needed here. Go and destroy the weirdness somewhere else."
"You really know how to command people." Tong muttered and stood up to leave.
"You are not a human being." Mang Tao said with eyes wide open.
In front of the old man, Hitomi disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The old man was frightened by the sudden transformation and he knelt down again, muttering and praying to the gods.
"Stop worshipping us. I've already told you that we are not gods."
"Forget it, just worship us if you want." Mang Tao changed his tone and looked at the old man, "We won't give you any benefits, nor do we need you to provide any tributes, let alone sacrifices. It should be said that we especially hate the sacrifice of living people."
"Don't cooperate with cannibals. There won't be a next time. If I find you guys involved with such guys again..." Mang Tao walked up to the old man, stared into his eyes, and tapped his neck with her finger, "I will come over and behead all of you."
At this moment, the young boy's weird power burst out without any concealment. The old man looked at the young boy's cold eyes and felt that his whole body was immersed in murderous intent. His legs immediately went weak and he was so scared that he couldn't speak. He could only nod repeatedly to show that he understood.
Mang Tao snorted, too lazy to look at the old man's face again, and walked out of the tribe after retracting his weirdness.
Salvation System: "Host, this system thought you would execute the entire tribe."
"I considered it before coming here." Mang Tao said in a low voice.
As the sky darkened, stars began to appear overhead.
The young boy looked up and saw the brightest star hanging in the sky, quietly shining with silver-white light: "If this is a tribe that relies on humans as their main food, and only kills and robs every day, and worships weirdness to the point of refusing to repent, this is the worst solution. Rather than allowing them to raise S-level or even higher terrifying weirdness, it is better to use hundreds of lives in exchange for the safety of more people."
You know, if the monster becomes stronger, it will not only endanger this island, but the whole world.
However, things did not come to that.
The old man and his tribe did not want to eat people, and their belief in the strange bird was not firm. They were more of a pragmatist. They would worship useful gods, such as the strange bird, and would also worship gods they feared, such as him, but they clearly did not have the kind of awareness of believing in something to the point of bloodshed and even giving up the entire tribe.
"If all races and descendants that sacrifice human beings to gods and kill human beings are to be exterminated, then we should just wipe out the human species from the earth."
Looking across the East and West continents, there is no race whose ancestors have not been ignorant.
If you dig hundreds of meters underground, you will always find sacrificial objects from thousands of years ago, and maybe even the bones of your enemies.
Human beings will fight for survival, for greed, and for faith.
The aggressive gene seems to be imprinted in the human race.
But if we don't fight, rob, and struggle, the human race will disappear in the long river of history.
Tall houses, warm clothes, and sufficient food did not automatically come with the emergence of humans.
"When I use the weird vest, I don't get involved in anything other than weirdness," said Mang Tao.
The power of the vest is very strong, especially the SSS-level monster like Mangtao, which can achieve the achievement of destroying a city of a big country and completely destroying a small country.
Because we are powerful, we are cautious.
Although Bai Yixin's pseudonym traded the secret book to China's strange response department first instead of other countries, it had already affected China's position in the world.
Although Kairet, Crow and other pseudonyms suddenly have a group of followers, and these followers have a say in their respective countries.
Although the Hundred Butterfly Festival in Neon Country has also become a cluster of lights.
although……
Okay, but he will never use this vest to do whatever he wants.
There are some things that you should not do unless you cross the line.
"System, you are the savior system, let me be the savior." Mang Tao said softly, "But I don't think I can be the savior."
"Even if the Seko Cult and the Hundred Butterflies Society regard me as a god, I cannot be a god."
He is just an ordinary person.
No matter what skin he wears, he must remember who he is.
This is also for yourself.
The influence of the weird vest's personality is too overbearing. If you don't keep this in mind, you will easily be assimilated into the original appearance of the vest and become truly weird.
"Host, it's great to be able to bind you." said the salvation system.
Mango was stunned by what it said: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
The voice of the salvation system is very cheerful: "Hey, it's okay, host, we can definitely save the world this time."
"Yes, it must be possible..." Mang Tao paused in the middle of her words, "This time?"
"...Ah." Realizing that it had made a mistake, the Savior System fell silent.
"System, have you saved the world many times?"
Salvation System: "Uh, this..."
"Is it reincarnation in this world? Or did the rescue from another world fail?"
The salvation system is still hesitant.
"Forget it, if you don't want to talk then..."
"It is... the main branch world." The salvation system said vaguely, "The host can understand it as a parallel world of this world. It also appeared strangely and then perished."
Mang Tao hummed.
"Host is not surprised?"
"Nothing. I guessed a little from your alias pool. Didn't you say that these aliases once existed in real life?" Mang Tao said, "So I guessed a little bit."
If you have never been to that world, how can you have a card pool of characters from that world?
"You said before that it wasn't the right time to tell me. Is now the right time?"
The salvation system murmured quietly: "You can say a little."
"Okay, after this matter is resolved," Mang Tao said, "we can have a good chat about your previous experience of saving the world."
"Host--"
"Don't worry, I don't intend to question you, I just want to summarize the failure experience of my predecessors."
His aliases have traveled to most of the world, and many countries have mastered the methods to fight against weirdness. It is not a solution to always engage in a tug-of-war against weirdness. It is time to ask the source of weirdness and consider ways to completely eliminate it.
