tree demons have attributes

Chapter 85 Sacrifice
In the days when Li Mu studied attributes,
The Blood Butterfly duo went to the Porcupine Demon Tribe along the route indicated by Broken Ear,

"Where are we going to play after the mission is completed, Xiaodie?"

Xiaodu flew leisurely in mid-air, asking from time to time, already thinking about what wave to wait for in his mind,
Of course, the premise is to complete the task. After getting lost the previous time, it feels that it is better to complete the task assigned by the tree owner honestly.

"Big crack." Xiaodie replied concisely.

As expected of the Butterfly duo who hang out together all day long, Xiaodu can guess Xiaodie's mind from just three words.

"Those hairy monsters are boring. After completing the task, I will take you to another place by detour." Xiao Du said.

Xiaodie huffed her wings a few times, which was a promise.

The Blood Butterfly duo flitted across the canopy, one after the other, and flew straight towards the Porpoise Demon Tribe.

within the tribe,
The cellar of the house has been repaired in sevens and eighties, and the broken altar has also been repaired. Gude Puya sat in front of the porpoise demon altar with a lonely expression, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked old and weak.

In front of Gude, there was a pile of ashes.

"Old patriarch, Brother Gu Lei's ceremony can begin." The clansman next to him reminded him in a low voice, and when he looked at the pile of ashes on the ground, he was full of reluctance and regret.

Gude Puya was still in a daze, his eyes were empty, and he couldn't hear the words of the clansman, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him, and he didn't see the vigorous and resolute look in his expression at all.

"Old patriarch? It's time." A famous young porcupine demon saw the old patriarch stunned, and was about to speak to continue to remind, but Kawen Zenai shook his head and pulled his shoulders.

"Don't disturb the patriarch just yet," Kaven Zenai said.

A group of porcupine demons silently faced the altar and stood behind Gude,
Although patriarch Gude always quarreled with Gu Lei on weekdays, and all porcupine demons knew it, but as the old patriarch's only remaining relative, Gu Lei's death must have made the old patriarch extremely sad.

When Gu Lei's body was brought back to the tribe that day, the old patriarch, who had been extremely serious for so many years, shed tears for the first time.

at that time,
Gude Porcupine Ya is no longer the leader who commanded the Porcupine Demon Tribe, and behaved more like a father. When the Bone Demons swept up the entire tribe, Gude Patriarch did not express such grief. Perhaps the last relative left , making it difficult for this strong-looking porpoise demon to restrain his emotions

When the tribe was in crisis, Gude needed to show perseverance, not to shrink back, not to show the slightest fear.

Now, he's just an old porcupine who's lost all his loved ones,
The breeze was blowing, and the wind was not strong, but the ashes piled up on the ground were still scattered.

Goode stretched out his hand to regroup the ashes and covered them with his palms to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

In front of this old dolphin demon is the altar of the tribe, which is usually used when the patriarch succeeds to the throne and when the tribe passes away.

Gude looked at the altar, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Boy, don't you always argue with me that you want to be the patriarch? Why is it so sudden?"

The voice gradually faded away,

In the end, Gude was sobbing that it was hard to speak. He turned his back to the clansmen and tried his best to bend down, so as not to let the clansmen see the embarrassing side of the dignified patriarch, but he didn't know that the porpoise demon standing behind him had already started to cry.

Everyone is from the same tribe, Gude is sad because of family affection, and the relationship between everyone and Gulei is because of friendship.

Apart from being obsessed with the position of patriarch, Gu Lei is quite friendly to the rest of his companions. If there were no previous incidents, maybe everyone would agree that Gu Lei would inherit the position of patriarch.

Even if the people of the clan changed their opinion due to other things later, no matter whether Gu Lei is qualified to be the patriarch or not, he is an absolutely qualified companion for other porcupine demons, and everyone is full of grief for the departure of the young patriarch .

Gurney in the porpoise demon was especially sad. Brother Gu Lei had a chance to escape. If he hadn't talked about those monster pets, Gu Lei would not have been in danger, and things might not be like this now.

After sadness, there is grief and silence.

The tribe was silent, only intermittent weeping could be heard. When the porcupine demons were reluctant to give up, Gude, who was the most distressed, was also the first to recover from his grief.
Gude turned around, the corners of his eyes were slightly red and swollen, but the expression on his face was hard to find sadness, and he returned to his usual resolute expression. It was this aura of no fear of suffering that made the porpoise led by Gude overcome difficulties one after another.

"Let the ceremony begin."

Gude's deep voice came out, pulling all the porcupine demons back from their grief.

The porcupine demons sang the songs handed down by the tribe, and the melodious singing came from the not gentle throat of the porcupine demons. The sound echoed in the valleys, as if they were leading the wandering warrior souls.

Goode Piggy grabbed the ashes on the ground, drew the totem of the porcupine demon tribe on the ground, then walked up to the altar, and smeared the warrior's ashes on every part of the totem.

As the patriarch, he always scoffed at the so-called totem belief of the tribe, thinking that it was just a tool to numb the tribe. In Gude's eyes, the totem carved with wood was just a statue, a statue that kept the porpoise demon's willpower ,

However, at this moment, in Gude Porcupine Ya's heart, he firmly worships the porcupine demon belief. At this moment, glory is necessary, and faith is true.

The ashes attached to the totem slowly fell off and drifted away.

The eyes of all the dolphin demons followed the ashes that were swept away by the wind, and their sights extended accordingly. Only then did they notice the blood butterfly hovering in midair.

"Magic bug!"

The atmosphere suddenly changed from solemn to tense.
All porcupine demons remembered the butterfly that attacked the tribe that day,

They saw with their own eyes how the strange powder tormented the evil spirit into a human form, and they had no time to think about why the butterfly appeared again, so they fled in all directions.

The young and old in the porpoise demon ran into the cave, hiding in a dark corner and shivering, but after seeing the attack of the magic butterfly, the porpoise demon knew that no matter how deep the cave was, it would be useless in front of the magic butterfly.

The warriors in the tribe picked up the weapons in their hands, swords, bows and arrows, long spears, etc., were all left over from the evil spirits of the past. After using them for such a long time, the weapons were already in dilapidated condition.
But the porpoise demons had no choice. They clasped the scraps of iron in their hands and scattered them around. The tips of their weapons were aimed at the magic butterflies in midair. the monster.

A soldier ran up to the altar and supported the old patriarch: "Patriarch, run away quickly, the butterfly is back."

Gude put away his sorrow, and when the tribe was in danger, he showed the qualities that a leader should have. He looked directly at the magic butterfly, and then shouted at the porpoise demon warrior.

"Don't die, are you taking the weapon to provoke that butterfly, hide in the cave for me."

Gude was deeply impressed by the magic butterfly he met that day, and clearly understood the gap between the magic butterfly and the porpoise.

But just one devil butterfly almost killed all Xiemei, and even almost destroyed the village. Facing monsters of this level, any attempt to resist would be foolish.

What's more, facing two demon butterflies now, the only thing they can do is to pray that the demon butterflies just pass by, and try not to do things that offend each other, otherwise they will be half dead and half corrupted like the group of evil spirits last time.

The hands of the evil spirits holding the weapons began to tremble. After hearing the patriarch's words, they lowered their weapons a little uneasy, and then hurriedly took the old patriarch to hide in the burrow.

"Tree master, the porcupine demons are hiding."

Butterfly Xiaodu said that it and Xiaodie hid in mid-air, and originally planned to go directly to the porpoise demon to convey orders, but at the request of the tree owner, it quietly finished watching the porpoise demon's sacrificial activities.

After the porcupine demon sacrificed, before he could open his mouth to convey, he was discovered by the porpoise demon. When the group of creatures saw them again, they immediately hid in fright, just like Xiao Er when he met the angry boss Yu.

This made Xiao Du, who just wanted to complete the task earlier, feel depressed.

Xiao Du reported the situation to Li Mu, with a tone that seemed to say, Lord Tree Owner, it's not that I don't want to complete the task, but that the porpoise demons don't cooperate.

Li Mu, who was far away in the burial ground, naturally also saw this scene,
The ceremony of the Dolphin Demon Clan is very solemn,
He decided to give enough respect, but after the respect was over, Li Mu paid more attention to another thing, which was to observe the porcupine demon's reaction to the blood butterfly.

Why do you care so much about the reactions of the porpoise demons?

The main reason is that after the previous conflict with the bone demon Rodney, a group of porpoise demons broke into the forest and tried to enter the location where Li Mu's tree was.

The porpoise demons were all dragged into the cave by the jade spider and solved, except for one porpoise demon, that is the tribe's warrior leader Kawen Zenai.

At that time, Li Mu let go of the tall porpoise demon, mainly because this porpoise demon was honest and would not easily tell what he saw in the forest, and this porpoise demon was good at finding crystals.

However, no matter how tight the mouth is, there will be leaks. When I came to the porcupine demon tribe today, in addition to telling the porcupine demons to increase the number of tributes, there is also an important purpose, which is to see if there is any trace of Kawen Zenai leaking the news.

If the rest of the porpoise demons behave differently, the blood butterflies will immediately destroy the entire porpoise demon tribe. From the current point of view, when this demon tribe sees Xiaodu and Xiaodie, there is no doubt that there is fear on their faces .

It shows that Kawen Zenai did not reveal the news in the forest casually. After all, if the porcupine demon knew everything that happened in the forest, he would not be so surprised by the appearance of the blood butterfly.

The porpoise demon only regards the blood butterfly as a companion of the nerubian, and treats the butterfly with the same respect as it treats the nerubian.

The situation was indeed as Li Mu expected.

Kawen Zenai didn't tell what he saw before. At this moment, he looked tangled and curled up with his tribe in the corner of the cave.

He was the only one present who knew the relationship between the blood butterfly and the spider demon, so when he saw the butterfly appear, he felt less fear and more confusion.

Why does the magic butterfly appear here?
Could it be that they came here under the order of the Nerubian leader?

During Kawen Zenai's doubts.

The rest of the porcupine demons are suffering from mental torment. They are always worried that the cave they are in will collapse. These seemingly hard stone walls can't stop the attack of the magic butterfly.

"Patriarch, what should we do?"

"Why did the devil butterflies suddenly come to our tribe? Isn't their nest in the desert!"

"Could it be because I offended the butterfly king in the desert last time, so I brought the little devil butterfly here today to settle the score?"

"It must be like this. The butterfly king came to the tribe last time, and later killed several of our spiritual pets during the hunt. It must have hatred, so it will target the porpoise demon in this way."

"."

The dolphin demons recalled all the encounters with the butterfly, and they all thought that the butterfly was a bad comer and wanted to deal with their tribe.

"When did we provoke such a powerful monster? The Butterfly King is still hovering over the tribe. Patriarch, warrior leader, what should we do?"

The dolphin demon really couldn't figure out why he would offend a monster of this level.

At this time, all the porcupine demons in the tribe had to turn to the calmest and most authoritative two companions for help.

Good Dolphin's brows were tightly frowned. Obviously, there was nothing to do, so he could only comfort him and said, "The butterfly hasn't attacked for a long time. Maybe it's just passing by. Let's hide for a while."

Keep hiding?

The porcupine demon seems to have only this method.

And Kawen Zenai knew in his heart that it was impossible for the magic butterfly to leave. It was definitely intentional to come to the tribe, and it might even involve the secret guarded by the butterfly king and the leader of the spider demon.

If he doesn't go out to meet him for a long time, the porcupine demon may offend these two big monster races at the same time.

But he couldn't tell the people what happened. If he told the story of what he saw that day, he wouldn't be afraid that the porcupine demons would know that the butterfly and the spider were allies.
What is really scary is that some porcupine demons will become interested in the depths of the desert. Once a porpoise demon dares to try to explore that area, the entire porpoise demon tribe will disappear under the siege of the two major groups of demonic insects in the next moment.

In fact, to say that the siege is a bit too flattering to the porcupine demon, Kawen Zenai thinks that only this butterfly king will destroy the entire tribe.

So this matter must not be mentioned to any clansman.

He made up his mind to show ignorance during the conversation later, so as to avoid arousing interest in the events of the day, and said, "Let me go out and talk to King Butterfly."

"No way, Warrior Captain, that Butterfly King is very dangerous, just in case you are caught," the clansmen tried to dissuade.

However, Kavenzenai ignored the obstruction, rushed out of the cave as soon as he finished speaking, knelt down on one knee in front of the butterfly, looked at the ground, touched his chest with one hand and performed an obedient etiquette.

"Your Excellency the Butterfly King, I am the warrior leader of the Porpoise Demon Tribe, Kawen Zenai Gray Dolphin. The Porpoise Demon Tribe welcomes a powerful demon like you to visit us. We have prepared enough blood for Your Excellency the Butterfly King."

After hearing this,

All the porpoise demons held their breath. They poked their heads out secretly, looked up at the hovering magic butterfly in mid-air, and found that this guy seemed to have a more terrifying aura than when they met last time.

If such a terrifying monster uses the previous move, the warrior leader in front of the horror will be instantly melted to nothing.

There is a porpoise demon who doesn't want the warrior leader to be in danger. Their tribe has lost such an excellent warrior as Gulei. If they lose the pillar Kawen Zenai at this moment, the blow to the tribe can be imagined.

But they didn't have the courage to face the devil butterfly directly, so some porpoise demons stretched out their hands, trying to pull the warrior leader back into the cave, even if the cave was also unsafe.

Calvin Zenai was unmoved.

At this time,

Xiaodu, who was in mid-air, said, "Send a message for my companion, from now on, the amount of tribute handed in by your Porcupine Demon Tribe will be doubled."

The voice fell,

The porpoise demons are confused, companion?Who is the companion of the Butterfly King, and which demon race is qualified to be the Butterfly King's companion?Also, what does it mean to double the amount of tribute handed in?Isn't this Butterfly King here to take revenge on the Porpoise Demon Tribe?
The development of the situation was beyond the porcupine demon's expectation.

After the Butterfly King finished speaking, he took the little devil butterfly and flew away, leaving behind the confused Dolphin Demon.

"The butterfly is gone?"

The dolphin demon couldn't believe it. They didn't crawl out of the cave until they saw the two small black dots on the sky that had disappeared completely.

It seems that these two monsters are really just here to send a message.

Everything in the tribe was intact, and the magic butterfly didn't destroy anything, it just left after simply saying a word.

"They seem to have really gone."

"What happened to the doubling of the tribute that the Butterfly King just said?"

"Could it be that we, the porcupine demon, handed over the tribute to the leader of the nerubian demon?"

"The Butterfly King said he was sending messages for his companions. Could it be that he was referring to the spider demon?"

A dolphin demon thought,
Good Dolphin Fang walked out of the cave with the support of two fellow clansmen, and said: "If you guessed right, the demon clan to which the Butterfly King belongs is an alliance with the nerubian leader in the central forest, and today he is here to help the nerubian leader Deliver the words."

The dolphins were thoughtful.

In order to survive, it is common for monsters to form alliances.

The magic insect family is weak, and it is rare for two rare groups to be born. It is even more normal for the two most powerful magic insect tribes in the western forest to form an alliance with each other.

"Why didn't Your Excellency the Nerubian come here in person?"

"Maybe it's because the spider demons are inconvenient to move. Their bodies are indestructible, but they don't seem to be as fast as the butterfly king."

"Yes, just now I noticed a strong smell of wind element from the butterfly king's butterfly wings. I'm afraid its strength is comparable to that of the nerubian leader. The monster insects I encountered recently are really terrifying."

False alarm, porcupine demon discussed what happened just now, Gude porcupine tooth heard it, reprimanded dissatisfied.

"Be in awe of the nerubian leader. Even if the other party asks us to hand in tribute, we must also remember that it is the nerubian leader who generously sold us spiritual pets to bring the dying tribe back to life."

"It's time to hand in the tribute in a few days, so hurry up and prepare."

"Yes, patriarch."

The dolphin demons are busy with their own things.

Kawen Zenai also let out a long breath in his heart. Butterfly King himself revealed the news of the alliance with the Nerubians, indicating that the two major demons had no intention of concealing the news, which also strengthened his thinking.

What these two great demon clans really want to hide is the secret hidden in that desert.

"In the future, we must find a way to keep the tribe away from that area."

He is not interested in secrets, he just wants to let the clansmen try not to offend the devil insects.

Seeing the expression on Kavenzenai's face, Gude Pigya next to him, his eyes flickered, he patted the dirt on his body, and said to Kavenzenai and Gurney: "You two come with me."
