Chapter 236(1/2)
Civil strife in ancient times
"Lin Xi, it's great that you can become a fire fox. I've been worrying about how to bring you into the wild continent these days." Jin Ziming said excitedly.
"I also have to thank you for the blue dome fire you gave me. After refining it, I have some magical powers.
It's easier to change into a human now, but if it's a monster or a plant, there's only one change."
"Then what kind of plant can you turn into?" Jin Ziming asked curiously.
Lin Xi blushed, spat, and whispered, "I won't tell you."
"What's so hard to say? If you don't tell me, how will we cooperate in future battles?" Jin Ziming said sternly.
Lin Xi was forced to have no choice but to mutter in a mosquito-like voice: "It's a dog-tail flower."
"What?" Jin Ziming opened his mouth exaggeratedly, then laughed heartily.
"Don't laugh!" Lin Xi was as shy as a girl, stamping her feet.
Jin Ziming suppressed his laughter and it took him a long time to calm down.
Seeing that Lin Xi was still depressed, he stopped teasing her and introduced her to Lao Hei's family, deliberately reminding her:
"Kuang Wu is his full name, I usually call him Lao Hei." This way, I won't worry about calling him wrong in the future.
Everyone quickly got to know each other, and Youji and Xunyuan got along very well, running into her arms and enjoying the caress of the beautiful woman.
Now they have become a group of seven demons. Considering that the black dragon's true form cannot be easily exposed, Jin Ziming requested that all of them, except You Ji, be transformed into humanoid monsters.
Lao Heixin understood and naturally firmly supported it.
Lin Xi became a girl in red with a pair of pointed ears. Except for her face and limbs, the rest of her body was made of fur.
Due to her cultivation in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, this is already the limit of her transformation.
All the demons gathered together, their demonic aura soared into the sky, and they flew into the depths of the forest in a gray-black demonic cloud.
With the fighting power of the Seven Demons, he could fly arrogantly for at most half a month, then he would have to land obediently and shuttle through the forest instead.
Otherwise, if you piss off the fifth-level demon, everyone will have to finish the game.
The journey went smoothly without any obstacles. Five days later, both the reckless man and Lao Hei frowned.
After entering the monster forest for so long, it stands to reason that you should see many third-level or even fourth-level monsters.
But the forest was too quiet, and there was no trace of them at all. We only occasionally saw some low-level beasts with very weak combat power, which was very abnormal.
Jin Ziming led the demons into the forest, and Lao Hei caught a third-level rabbit demon. The rabbit was trembling with fear and begging for mercy.
"Let me ask you, where have all the powerful monsters in the forest gone?"
"Senior, they have all gone to participate in or watch the battle. I am too timid to go."
"What fight?"
"Ah, you don't know this?" Gray Rabbit asked in astonishment.
"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly." Lao Hei became impatient.
"Chaos has broken out in Honghuang Continent. There are different opinions on whether King Hao Sai or King Chen should be elected as the Holy Emperor. The Presbyterian Council and the tribes are divided into two factions.
The two sides have started a war, and although it has not spread to the entire continent, it has a great impact. Many monsters in the Monster Forest are rushing to the Holy City."
"Who has the upper hand now? Who do you prefer to elect as the Holy Emperor?" Jin Ziming asked eagerly.
The gray rabbit hesitated for a moment and replied:
"After the death of the previous generation of Holy Emperors, Honghuang Continent has been without an emperor for a long time. King Chen's bloodline is more pure, so electing him as Holy Emperor is in line with the tradition of the Holy Clan.
But his return was too short, and his influence was not as good as King Haosai, who had been in power for many years.
What's more, the latter is in his prime and his bloodline is only slightly lower than that of King Chen, so most elders support King Haosai.
But for many tribes, everyone is more convinced of the power of blood.
Moreover, the Golden-winged Dapeng clan was originally a royal clan, so King Chen’s power is not small.”
"What kind of holy beast is King Hao Sai? How strong is it?" Jin Ziming continued to ask.
"Why don't you know anything?" Gray Rabbit couldn't stand it.
"We are from the sea tribe, don't be offended." Xun Yuan couldn't help but smooth things over for him.
"Oh, no wonder." Rabbit continued:
"King Hao Sai comes from the Qiongqi clan, and like King Chen, he is at the peak of the sixth level of Dzogchen.
But the time he has accumulated in this realm is much longer than King Chen."
"Where did the two sides fight?" Lao Hei asked in a deep voice.
"It's relatively chaotic now, and conflicts have broken out in many places, but they are mainly taking place on the ancient battlefield 1,200 miles southwest of the Holy City."
After finding out that the Holy City was in the northwest direction, Lao Hei rounded his arm and threw the rabbit demon far away.
The rabbit was so frightened that it screamed in the air. When it landed on a treetop, it found that it was not injured at all. It secretly screamed "fortunately" and ran away quickly.
Since there was no big demon nearby, Jin Ziming decided to continue flying.
The whole journey was very fast, and we landed several times to get information, and finally found out the progress of the civil war.
The Holy City is currently under the control of King Haosai, and Chen has been forced to leave and stationed in Baijin City in the southwest.
The military strength of both sides is roughly the same, with King Haosai slightly stronger.
Haosai has three most capable generals, namely the powerful White Tiger and the ancient ferocious beast Shout to the Sky, both of whom are at the seventh level.
His military advisor is a stunning beauty named Bai Jin. She is the descendant of a pure-blooded serpent and a human half-immortal, and has reached the sixth level of Dzogchen.
Almost all the bird tribe are die-hard fans of Chen.
The land beast tribe was divided between the two kings, and slightly more people supported Hao Sai.
Of course, even tribes of the same race located in different regions may belong to different camps.
There are also some ethnic groups who do not want to wade into this muddy water and choose to wait and see and be neutral for the time being, such as the Dragon Clan in Daze, the Bear Clan on land, etc.
Historically, the saint clan and demon clan in Honghuang Continent were united and united, with little civil strife.
Even though the situation is tense now, there are still many elders and tribes who are working hard to promote peace talks to prevent the human race from indirectly benefiting.
The seven demons rode the demon clouds and headed towards Baijin City.
After walking under the stars and moon all the way, nearly a month had passed. Except for Jin Ziming and Lao Hei, the other five demons all felt tired.
Fortunately, as we get closer and closer to our destination, the number of monsters on the ground increases. In addition to the third and fourth levels, even the fifth level can be seen occasionally.
The Seven Demons did not dare to continue flying, so they landed in the forest. After resting, they walked instead.
The next day, they encountered a small battle. More than a hundred wolf demons fought against more than thirty violent apes. Both sides had both third and fourth levels.
Jin Ziming used soul thread to detect and understood that the Ape Clan supported King Chen.
They were deliberately provoked by the wolf demon with words, and with their violent temper, naturally a team fight broke out immediately.
The violent ape has a huge body and infinite strength, but is at a disadvantage both in total and in fourth-level numbers.
Gradually they were suppressed and divided by the wolves, and casualties began to appear.
Jin Ziming led the six demons into the battlefield to aid the violent ape.
Lin Xi, You Ji and Xun Yuan's father were fighting while protecting the third-level mother and daughter.
The reckless man and Lao Hei, armed with blood tyrants and black long sticks respectively, were invincible in the field.
The two of them quickly killed nearly twenty fourth-level demon wolves, and even the huge and majestic alpha wolf was split into two pieces by Jin Ziming.
The violent apes became energetic and began to slaughter wildly. After a large number of wolf monsters were killed, the wolves finally broke through.
The leader of the violent ape stepped forward and said:
"My name is Heili. Thank you for your help. Without you, we would probably be wiped out today. May I ask your names?"
"Brother Heili, you're welcome. Since you support King Chen, we are one family.
My name is Kuangwu, and I come from the Jiaolong tribe; his name is Hui Miao, and he comes from the Black Snake tribe.
Our team is quite mixed, including a three-headed snake dragon, a fire fox, and a cat demon." Lao Hei was at the highest level, so naturally he was the one to speak.
"Ah, as far as I know, the Jiaolong and Snake Jiao clans are both neutral; the Black Snake is on the side of King Haosai, and the Fox clan and the Cat clan are divided within themselves.
How come you all support King Chen?" Hei Li asked suspiciously.
"Haha, I don't know something, but the five of us are all from Beihai.
The fire fox and cat demon are our new friends, coming from the monster forest close to the human race.
Hui Miao was sent by the Dragon King to the human race to study Taoism, where she met King Chen.
So we were all dragged by him to join the battle so that we could do our part for King Chen."
Hei Li was happy, but he had not yet completely dispelled his doubts. He looked at Jin Ziming and asked:
"Little brother actually knows King Chen?"
