Volume 6: Future, Interlude 3, Great Change Chapter 19: Savage Gathering Place
The old tree man has run quite a distance during this period.
We have reached the edge of the White Scale Church's influence.
And they are not in the city, but are savages in the wild.
It is said that he is doing well.
Ah Zai is one of the savages, he has been a savage since birth.
The life of savages is primitive and full of danger.
Various material things have always been what they pursue, and in comparison, knowledge seems insignificant.
Those things are not of much use to the lives of these savages.
They only need to distinguish between wild animals, herbs and poisons. These knowledge passed down from their ancestors are enough for survival in the wild.
All those so-called mathematics, physics and other things are just a waste of energy.
But Ah Zai didn't think it was a waste. He really liked to learn these things from the new Tree Grandpa, and after learning, he would listen to him tell stories about the outside world.
These stories are thrilling, exciting, mysterious and fantastic.
Grandpa Shu is kind and amiable. He is the only person who came to comfort him and give him encouragement during the time when his father died, helping him to come out of the shadow.
The bow and arrow in his hand shot out steadily, killing a sheep-like creature. This prey could provide everyone with food for several days.
After catching the prey, he planned to go back and cut off a piece of hind leg meat to give to Grandpa Tree.
Then at this moment, he heard another noise, which made Ah Zi immediately alert.
The wilderness is very dangerous, with all kinds of mutated creatures emerging one after another, as well as various criminals escaping from the city, who often try to silence people.
And some bad things have happened before. The nobles in the city chose to go out hunting because they were bored, and their target was these savages.
He held the bow and arrow, tried to steady his breathing, and looked towards where the noise came from.
Then I realized that there was no intention to cover up the movement.
A strange combination appeared in front of Ah Zai.
This is a man full of demonic power. His eyes seem to have infinite power that can make him fall into it.
The exquisitely tailored black coat, the carefully trimmed hair, and the slicked-back hairstyle all showed that the other person was from the city.
And next to this man, there was a strange fox.
"Don't be nervous, kid." After the other person said this, he actually let go of his nervousness.
Although he knew that the other party was definitely not normal, he just couldn't get nervous and was able to think rationally.
"Your gathering place is around here, right?" Lu Bai asked, then raised his hand and swung it, a gift box swaying in his hand.
"A senior of mine came to your gathering place some time ago and now wants to visit you. Can you show me the way?" Lu Bai seemed very amiable.
But there was also a force of oppression acting on Ah Zi, telling him clearly that if he didn't agree, he would die.
Ah Zai immediately realized that the other party's arrival had no good intentions.
Once the location of the gathering place is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Should he choose to reveal it and save his life, or sacrifice himself for the sake of the gathering place?
"You still have such a bad taste. You already know the detailed address and have sent people there, but you are still playing with a child." But at this moment, the fox next to him actually spoke, interrupting Ah Zai's struggle, but also pushing him into the abyss.
They all knew the information about the savage gathering place.
"Really? You are stopping others from making progress. Be careful or someone will come looking for you." Lu Bai said dissatisfiedly.
"Kid, since this fox uncle is speaking for you, I won't make things difficult for you."
"Come on, run back as hard as you can, maybe you can see your tree grandfather." After Lu Bai said this, he left with Wu Zu.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the jungle.
The other party's words made Ah Zi feel cold all over.
After his father's death, Grandpa Shu has been his only relative in the past few months, and these people are targeting each other.
The fear weighed on his heart, making it difficult for him to extricate himself. The threat posed by Lu Bai was so great that whenever he thought of Lu Bai in his mind, he would tremble all over.
His body instinctively told him that if he went back, he would most likely be in danger of death. If he didn't go back and ran in the direction the man came from, he would survive.
He was able to break away from the constraints of the gathering place and head for the outside world he had longed for.
"Will he catch up with us?" Lu Bai asked Wu Zu as he walked.
"I don't know. Human hearts are the most complicated things." Wu Zu shook his head, expressing his contempt for Lu Bai's bad taste.
This person likes to put others in a dilemma and then test them.
At the same time, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the place where the savages gathered.
Three men in black suits, each holding a fully loaded automatic rifle, walked step by step towards the gathering place of the savages.
All this naturally aroused the vigilance of the savages. They quickly gathered together and issued loud warnings.
Keep these three people of unknown origin away from their gathering area.
The leader, a man in a black suit, didn't pay any attention to these savages, but said, "Old Tree Man, come out and pay your debt."
"Just let me, the old man, go out." The old man of the green-haired tree had a complicated expression on his face. He held the pot of daylily and shook his head at this time.
"No!" The savage leader objected after taking a deep breath: "It was you who saved my family and treated many villagers during this period. The old man is a member of our village, and we will never hand him over!"
"That's right, you saved my life. If they want to take you away, they have to step over my dead body first!"
Such words received a lot of support.
Although he has only been here for a few months, he has already won the recognition of most people with his kind personality and superb medical skills.
Furthermore, in the gathering place of savages, many people have hidden in the wild because they got into trouble outside. If they hand over every time someone comes looking for them, how can their gathering place survive?
It's just a few guns...
Then the three men saw that these savages would not move away and the old tree man would not come out.
So began the shooting charge.
There was no hesitation during the whole process.
For them, Lu Bai's orders are everything.
And to be honest, they are not human beings, but demons that feed on human desires.
The moment the shooting started, some people screamed and dodged, while others took up weapons and attacked the demons.
However, the demons seemed to have opened the entire map and could clearly find each of their enemies, and then kill them with the guns in their hands.
The parasitic demon will not be strengthened much in the short term, but it is not completely strengthened.
They can smell the scent of desire emanating from people's souls, and then use this scent to accurately locate the positions of these people and their superficial thoughts.
At the same time, their reaction speed is much faster than before, and they can even do multi-threaded thinking like Lu Bai.
Because the parasite has not lost consciousness.
It’s just that the demon took the initiative in this contact.
After a brief period of loss of control, these parasitic bodies realized their situation.
The demons can change hosts at any time, and when they do, they can also drain away their vitality and souls.
Let them become nutrients for the next host.
If they want to survive, they must work hard to cooperate with the devil.
Then, he would release his own desires, provide more food to the demon, and win his favor.
Then after that, they might also have the possibility of transforming into demons.
Because from the moment they are parasitized, they are also transforming into demons and possessing some of the characteristics of demons.
This transformation makes it easier for Lu Bai to create the demon.
The demons are infertile, but they can continuously create new demons through parasitism.
This way of developing offspring is likely to blossom with a different brilliance as time goes by.
“Perhaps the demons in the future will also form different clans.”
Lu Bai, who had already arrived nearby and was observing secretly, thought about it.
The savages are not completely powerless to resist. Every savage village that can survive in the wild has its own strength.
For example, the savage leader who had spoken earlier roared and launched a charge.
He held a long-handled axe in both hands, and a dazzling red light burst out from his body.
It was obvious that this was a traveler.
Against the backdrop of the red light, his momentum reached its peak.
With the gun in his hand, Tianmo could only leave a small wound on the opponent.
Obviously, the other party was not someone they could deal with for the time being.
However, the three men in black suits did not panic, but looked at each other with a smile.
Three other dark shadows rushed out from the woods behind them.
This was different from the previous three people who were dressed in black hats, black suits and black leather shoes.
The three people who had just rushed out were dressed a little wildly.
They are shirtless, have shaved heads, and have a layer of fine scales on their bodies. If you don't look closely, you might think it's a tattoo.
The charging savage leader had not yet swung the long-handled axe in his hand when a demon mysteriously appeared beside him.
The secret of the devil: the strange steps!
They can squeeze their own bodies in a special way, allowing their speed to increase to the extreme in an instant, and in that instant, the human body will briefly turn into a demon, and the body shape and mass will undergo strange changes, which is why the speed can be so fast.
The arm covered with fine scales stretched out directly to the opponent and grasped one part of the opponent's long-handled axe.
The huge impact force brought by the charge was interrupted by this grip and pull.
The secret of the devil: supernatural power!
Further squeeze your body, allowing yourself to burst out with tremendous strength, while conveying the desire to "suppress" to the outside. During the wrestling process, you can easily suppress power-type players.
The savage leader angrily swung the long-handled axe in his hand, but found a black shadow flashing in front of him.
A pair of hands patted his ears, one on the left and one on the right.
The secret of the devil: the devil's sound fills your ears!
Through close contact such as knocking, the special power transmitted by the various changes in the demon's body will pierce the opponent's eardrum, which will cause severe tinnitus, and thus symptoms such as imbalance and nausea.
The last demon also appeared in front of him.
His arms seemed to turn into black spikes in an instant.
The Secret of the Demon: The Transformation of the Demon!
It can change the shape of its own body, and even compress it to a certain extent, making its hardness and sharpness maximized.
The spike pierced his chest.
The wildling leader paid the price for his choice.
The three resurrected demons left his body and locked their eyes on the old tree man.
Three other parasitic demons also approached with automatic rifles.
Each pair of eyes was filled with murderous intent.
