Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 82: Dry wood meets raging fire
Mo Qin has been feeling very irritable lately. Ever since the sudden rise of Mo Yang, a genius from the Jibei Butterfly Clan, she has never felt irritable before.
Especially, a few days ago, after Mo Yang successfully advanced to the eighth star and became a new demon king who was feared by all the world, she, as the elder of the Far North Demon Butterfly Clan, was in a better mood.
It wasn't until her son, Mo Ao, who also had great talent, suddenly and inexplicably disappeared in his own territory that her mood began to deteriorate.
A promising five-star mid-level demon butterfly leader, the beloved son of the Far North Demon Butterfly Elder Mo Qin, who is always followed by four four-star peak followers who are half maids and half guards. This small team is enough to roam around in an area of a thousand miles, but something went wrong.
Moreover, this incident happened in the territory of the Far North Demon Butterfly itself. After mobilizing almost all the forces of the Far North Demon Butterfly clan and its vassal demon clan, they still gained nothing.
No living monster is seen, and no dead corpse is seen.
Moreover, this matter is full of weird atmosphere. It is said that before the accident, a group of human warriors, who didn't know where they came from, drifted to the territory of the Far North Demon Butterfly. They were very suicidal and naive and made a kind of food with good taste, hoping to use it to trap the members of the Far North Butterfly clan. Unfortunately, they never succeeded.
At the place where Mo Ao might have been in trouble, they also smelled the food and sensed the residual star power of the starburst of a four-star human warrior.
It seemed that all traces and evidence pointed to the inexplicably appearing group of human warriors.
However, after this information reached Mo Qin, she always felt that this matter might not be that simple and there must be something fishy behind it.
Why did several Arctic Demon Butterflies disappear inexplicably?
Who was the one who harmed his son?
Why did the human team, which had been repeatedly teased by ordinary four-star demon butterflies, suddenly become extremely powerful?
Although the starburst of a four-star warrior is powerful, how can it do anything to Mo Ao, who is at the intermediate level of a five-star warrior?
Who is responsible for all this? Is it the distortion of human nature or the fall of the demon race?
These problems caused Elder Mo Qin, a six-star powerful demon, to experience the long-dormant menopause again. No demon who angered the unlucky one would have a good ending. No one could enter her heart and understand her irritability and sadness.
Until someone from the demon tribe came to report that they had discovered traces of human warriors on the edge of .
“No matter whether this group of human warriors are the culprits who murdered Ao’er, we would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. We should capture them and interrogate them slowly. We may not be able to pry their mouths open, but at least we can get some clues about Ao’er’s whereabouts.” Mo Qin made a quick decision after receiving the news.
So, a huge team led by the Six-Star Polar North Demon Butterfly, with a large number of demons who had participated in the recent hunt, went straight to the place where the traces of the human warriors were found.
Mo Qin believed that as long as she was present in person, no matter how good the other party was at hiding their tracks, they would not be able to escape from her demonic sense.
When the team was about to arrive at the place where the traces were found, several extremely sharp wolf howls suddenly came from the forest.
When Mo Qin heard the wolf howling, his face darkened slightly: "Let's go and see how those damned dogs dared to enter the territory of my Jibei Die Clan? Could it be that something has happened to my Die Clan recently, so they think they can act recklessly?!"
Mo Qin, who was already concerned about his son's safety and was always in a bad mood, became even more irritated when he heard the wolf howling.
The two four-star peak followers behind Mo Qin did not dare to offend the elder, so they quietly accepted the order and flew towards the place where the wolves howled.
Mo Qin did not delay her journey for such a trivial matter, and soon rushed to the place where the traces of human warriors were found. Without saying a word, she lit up six demonic fires, and her demonic power was fully activated. The powerful demonic consciousness quickly radiated outward with this place as the center.
"Found it!" Mo Qin's demon consciousness didn't take long to develop before she discovered the prey she was looking for - a human warrior.
The human warrior seemed to be aware that he was exposed, and he rushed left and right in the dense forest at an extremely fast speed.
Unfortunately, all of this was just a ridiculous joke in the eyes of Mo Qin, a six-star Arctic Demon Butterfly known for his speed talent.
"Chase!" Mo Qin uttered a word quietly, and then flew out quickly.
She could feel that she was rapidly closing in on the damned human warrior. It would only take her a few breaths to capture him alive, and then use all kinds of tortures of the demon race on him to find out Mo Ao's life or death and whereabouts as quickly as possible.
However, just when Mo Qin thought he could catch up with the prey, the trace of the human warrior suddenly disappeared completely from his demon consciousness...
"How did he do it?!" Mo Qin said angrily. He casually waved his hand and burned a large area of nearby forest to ashes, but still could not find any trace of the hateful human warrior.
After searching for a long time with his demon sense, Mo Qin finally discovered the flaw of the human warrior and chased after him again.
But what made her even more frantic was that when she was about to capture him, the human warrior disappeared again...
This process was repeated over and over again, and even after chasing for dozens of miles, they still failed to capture the human warrior.
"You bastard, how despicable you are!" Mo Qin wished he could tear this slippery and treacherous human warrior into pieces.
Just when she was about to expand her demon consciousness once again, she suddenly made an unexpected discovery: in the woods ahead, she could smell the breath of the Far North Demon Butterfly Clan.
A glimmer of hope surged in Mo Qin's heart. He temporarily ignored the human warrior who had disappeared again and chose to quickly fly to the place where the aura of the Far North Demon Butterfly Clan was detected to check.
After a while, a large number of Mo Qin's followers and demon vassals finally caught up with Mo Qin's footsteps. However, at this time, Mo Qin, who had been in an anxious mood, stood under a tree with a calm face and remained silent.
The demon tribe looked at the tree in surprise, and the team suddenly exploded as if water was boiling.
Hanging on the tree were two members of the Far North Demon Butterfly clan. They were the two four-star high-level Far North Demon Butterflies that disappeared almost at the same time as Mo Ao. They seemed to be still alive, but their life was worse than death, because they had all been transformed into the legendary demon pigs!
The tribesmen of the Far North Demon Butterfly were immediately furious, and the demon tribes in the vassal lands were terrified and scared to death when they saw this scene.
Just when the furious storm of the Far North Demon Butterflies was brewing, countless wolf howls were heard, followed by the sound of galloping. This group of Far North Demon Butterflies and their vassal demons were soon surrounded by a group of Far North wolf demons with green eyes, green faces and fangs.
Although the leading wolf demon was at the peak of five-star strength, he looked at Mo Qin without any fear. Instead, he spoke in a hostile tone, "Elder Mo, could it be that the Demon Butterfly Clan thinks their territory is not vast enough and came to our wolf clan's territory to survey the terrain and make plans for the future? You should at least give an explanation for your rash visit, right?"
Mo Qin raised his head and said in an extremely cold tone: "Two of my people have been tortured into such a tragic state and are now hanging in your territory. I want to ask you, what do you have to say?"
The leading wolf demon glanced at the two miserable northern demon butterflies on the tree and frowned: "This matter has nothing to do with the wolf clan, why should I explain anything."
Mo Qin sneered and nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, the life and death of my people has nothing to do with you, then the life and death of these wolf cubs who trespassed into my Die clan's territory has nothing to do with my Die clan either."
After Mo Qin finished speaking, he casually snatched several four-star wolf demons that had been roaring in the Demon Butterfly Territory from the hands of the two followers behind him. With a flick of his wrist, the throats of the wolf demons were shattered, and they died with blood oozing from their bodies. Their screams before death were endless.
Although their deaths were not as miserable as those of the two Northern Demonic Butterflies, they were equally miserable and both were strong contenders for the title of the most miserable king.
The wolf demons were the most united. When they saw their own people being slaughtered on the spot by Mo Qin, they were already full of anger, so how could they hold back any longer? They bared their teeth on the spot, and their demon fires lit up. If it weren't for the restraint of the five-star peak wolf demon, they would have rushed forward and fought madly until all the butterfly demons and vassal demons were slaughtered.
Just when the five-star peak wolf demon felt something was amiss and tried his best to suppress his subordinates.
Not far away, the wolf demon's screams and the butterfly demon's excited shouts were heard again. These two shouts were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The two powerful demon forces could no longer bear it and swung their sharpest claws at each other.
…
"Well, a six-star demon butterfly fights three five-star wolf demons. It's like three heroes fighting Lu Bu. If I don't ask someone to write this scene into a play when I get back, I'd be letting down all the hard work I put into running over the past two days." Tang Zheng was chewing grass roots, sitting at the entrance of the cave, looking at the earth-shaking battle in the distance, and said leisurely.
"Master, this... the flames of war that spread across the territories of the butterfly demons and the wolf demons, was it you who started it?" Tang Xiaotang said in surprise, looking at the territories of the two tribes that were almost completely devastated by fighting.
"What a great trick to drive away the wolves and swallow the butterflies... Tang Zheng, how did you do it?" Jiang Wuyan looked into the distance with an expression of admiration on his face.
"In fact, the main inspiration came from your mention of the crazy expansion of the Demon Butterfly territory in recent years. Since the Demon Butterfly's territory has increased, the Demon Clan's territory has naturally decreased. For the Demon Clan, this is an irreconcilable contradiction. Originally, there was also the pressure of Mo Yang, the eight-star Demon Butterfly, on the Wolf Demon's mind, so he could only swallow his anger..."
"But, these days, what do you think is the most prominent feature of the character and behavior of the Far North Demon Butterfly?" Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Arrogant, extremely arrogant!" Zheng Qian couldn't help but blurt out .
"That's right, I used two demon pigs as bait to lure the demon butterflies to the wolf demon territory to cause trouble. With the demon butterflies' arrogant character, they will offend the wolf demon to death in a rage. Even rabbits bite when they are angry, not to mention the wolf demon which is known for its unruly nature. Moreover, the two tribes have long had a deep-rooted feud. With a 'matchmaker' like me, who kindly brings them together, they will immediately turn the world upside down and stain the mountains and rivers with blood, like dry firewood meeting fire, or an adulterer meeting an adulteress..." Tang Zheng pointed at the battlefield all over the mountain and laughed happily.
