The Demon Kingdom is a huge union formed in the form of tribes, similar to an alliance like the Righteous Alliance, which is relatively loose.
Lin Chen entered the demon kingdom, traveled as fast as possible, and soon left the border battlefield.
Behind the battlefield is a long and huge supply line, with countless warships shuttled back and forth, bringing supplies and soldiers.
In fact, the demon clan is not much different from the human clan. Taking advantage of the war, it is not uncommon to eradicate dissidents, and it is even more blatant. Death is the eternal theme of the battlefield, but it is not the purpose.
Competing for interests is the basis of this war!
After crossing the battle line, Lin Chen finally arrived at the normal demon country.
"In front is the Water Heart Tribe. The totem is a heart made of water. It is not small in scale." Feiya acted as a guide for Lin Chen.
The demon clan has many bloodlines, but demon clans not of the same bloodline will live together. For example, the rabbit demons are distributed throughout the demon country. With so many communities separated by hundreds of millions of miles, it is impossible for them all to gather together.
Just like the human race, people with the same surname can be found everywhere, and not all of them live together.
The formation of a tribe is that the demon tribes in a region unite together due to some opportunity, and jointly worship a totem as a link to connect different bloodlines, thereby forming a community of interests, that is, an alliance.
This model is actually the model of the entire demon kingdom. The tribe is the small demon kingdom, the totem is the demon god clan as a symbol, and the elders of the tribe are the council of elders.
Of course, for those top-level bloodlines, there is no need for tribes. For example, the top-level bloodlines of the Dragon Clan gather on Dragon God Island, while the top-level bloodlines of the Snake Clan gather in the Ten Thousand Snakes Ancestral Cave.
They are all ethnic groups of the same bloodline and will not live together with other demon tribes.
After all, tribes are only the helpless choice of the middle- and lower-class demon clans. Otherwise, they would not use totems to dilute the inherent xenophobic characteristics of their bloodlines and unite with each other.
However, there are benefits to doing this. Just like the incense gods of the human race, this totem enjoys sacrifices, gradually develops divinity, and begins to feed back the people who believe in the totem.
In the beginning, tribes may have been formed due to various factors and were forced compromises, but now, most tribes are inseparable from totems.
Some of the tribes have grown stronger because of their totems and have become a force that cannot be underestimated. Some giant settlements have even begun to threaten the status of the top bloodlines.
In recent years, those giant tribes have been seeking more seats in the Council of Elders, and even proposed adding a Grand Elder seat.
Before this, the seat of the Great Elder was controlled by the strongest bloodline of the seven demon clans. A "motley crew" like the tribe had no qualifications to seek the seat of the Great Elder. Even among the seats of the elders, most of them were pure-blood seats.
The tribe does not have a high voice.
But now there are more and more such voices, and they have become a strong force. With the help of the power of totem, the tribe is becoming stronger and stronger.
Lin Chen also knew something about totems. Speaking of it, what he was going through today was somewhat similar to when he forcibly killed Qin Yue'er in Longyun, and he faced the same demon clan.
I still remember that the demon in the eyes of the Longqi demon is from the Spine Tribe, and a totem is a tribe in the form of a spine, which is not very strong.
All the things that happened at that time, whether it was against the human race or the demon race, now look at it as just a small fight.
But the existence of Zi Ning was completely unexpected. Looking at it now, it is actually very weird.
Zi Ning is from the demon god clan!
According to top-secret information, in order to catch up with the humans and demons, the demon clan summoned the demon god list, and the demon clan sacrificed the last drop of demon god blood. In other words, once the existing demon gods leave no descendants, then in the future
The demon clan will completely lose the demon god clan.
It is not normal for such blood to appear in the Spine Tribe, and it is even more strange when it enters the Longqi Demon Eye.
According to Bai Shu's previous statement, there will be several members of the demon god clan in each generation, and they have a very direct competitive relationship with each other. The one who survives in the end is the final king, which is the supreme king of the demon clan.
Zi Ning's experience should be due to the loss of competition.
The result of defeat.
As for why he was not killed, it is unknown.
Lin Chen did not rush directly to the core of the demon country. He entered the demon tribe and became familiar with the life of the demon tribe.
On the one hand, now is the time when the Demon Kingdom is most vigilant, so there is no point in rushing over.
On the other hand, relying solely on the power of the black dragon is not enough. The concealment will be revealed. At that time, the characteristics of the black dragon will become an anchor, allowing people to directly understand his identity.
Therefore, Lin Chen needed to disguise himself and observe the living habits of the demon clan to avoid making mistakes in details.
He walked slowly in the Shuixin Tribe and wandered around casually. This tribe was actually very large, comparable to a giant human city, but this was due to the characteristics of the demon tribe.
Most of the powerful monsters will choose to take human form. After all, this does not affect their strength, but it makes movement much more convenient. Moreover, it is also conducive to the union between different races.
Just imagine if a toad fell in love with a swan. If he kept his true form and did not change his form, then the next step would obviously not be possible.
However, there are also some demon tribes who are very stubborn and believe that the form left by their ancestors is the best form, and turning into a human race would be a sign of weakness, so they only want to maintain their original form, and the union will only be within the tribe.
This is normal in the Monster Clan, so most tribes, and even the settlements of top bloodlines, will be divided into two parts, one part is similar to a human city, and the other part is full of huge lairs to accommodate the huge body of the Monster Clan.
Of course, the larger the tribe and the stronger its strength, the more mainstream the demon clan in human form will become.
This Shuixin Tribe's human form exceeds 70%, which is considered a normal level.
"What do you think, Master?" Feiya asked.
This is Lin Chen's first time coming to the demon country. The customs, customs and customs of demons are a novel experience. Generally speaking, they are more casual, open and savage than the human race.
"It's completely exotic, but although the habits are different, the functionality is similar," Lin Chen said.
There are also various shops and places here, generally similar to those of the human race.
However, every household has a totem pole, which makes Lin Chen very concerned.
Totems can be found in almost every corner of this tribe, and the people of the tribe seem to pay homage to the totems at any time and are very pious.
Next to me, a boss finished his business, touched the totem pole and muttered something, thanking the totem for its blessing. On the street corner, there was a demon fighting to the death, and the winner touched the nearest totem pole and worshiped.
Those totem poles will light up slightly, and the will of faith is gathering.
"The demon tribe has continued to grow with the help of totem worship and has obtained countless benefits. Why don't you make a totem?" Lin Chen asked.
"Totems are just like the incense gods of your human race. Why don't you see your various gods worshiping?" Feiya said with a slight smile.
"God is not worthy," Lin Chen said.
Feiya rolled her eyes, "Although totems have benefits, they also have the risk of not losing their tail. Besides, with our bloodline, we don't need to rely on the power of totems. The power mark left to us by our ancestors is already strong enough!"
Totems are one of the sources of power for many tribes. The power of summoning totems represents powerful power!
But in the eyes of beings like Feiya, totem is a symbol of weakness. A truly powerful bloodline does not need a totem.
"This is a bright world, and for the gods of incense and fire, it is also an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate. I'm afraid the totem of your demon clan will not be peaceful either," Lin Chen said.
Things like belief in the power of will are very scary. The two great traditions of the Western Regions are examples.
As troubled times come, the totems will probably cannibalize each other, and even the most terrifying totems will eventually appear.
It can be known.
"Young Master is very concerned about the situation of our demon clan," Feiya said with a smile.
"Know yourself and the enemy, that's how it should be," Lin Chen said.
"No matter how powerful the totem is, it originates from the demon clan and still cannot escape the shackles of the long river of blood. Then the demon god clan can always be superior to it," Feiya said, not worried.
Even if such a powerful totem really appeared, then their top bloodline would naturally intervene and kill it in advance.
How can the interest system formed over countless years be allowed to be easily divided?
"It is said that you no longer have the blood of the gods. Are the demon gods of this generation determined? If there are no descendants, won't your demon clan have a difficult life in the future?" Lin Chen said with a smile.
Regardless of the strength of the Demon God Clan, even as a symbol, it is irreplaceable to the Demon Clan.
"Isn't this a search for the God Queen for the little demon god? However, the new era has new requirements. In this bright world, the requirements for the God Queen have also greatly increased. It's really hard to find one," Feiya said with a chuckle.
She didn't say that she was actually the best candidate for the Queen of Gods before. If it weren't for Lin Chen, she who had already condensed the Supreme Divine Seal would have a high probability of marrying the Demon God!
Lin Chen's eyes flashed slightly. Now that he was talking about demon gods, he immediately said, "The demon gods are so scarce, and now they have exhausted their divine blood. Why don't you just stop letting the demon gods compete among themselves? Wouldn't it be better to keep them all?"
Feiya's eyes also flashed slightly, and she smiled and said, "Young master, you don't know that the demon gods of the same generation share a drop of divine blood. If they don't swallow the others, they will never be able to achieve perfection!"
"So, this time we have to find a way to kidnap a demon god. In this way, your demon god will always have flaws!" Lin Chen said.
"Young Master is right to think so, but the battle between the demon gods is basically over. The little demon god has determined that the demon gods who are still alive are all waiting to die and will not survive for long. Young Master must speed up his pace!" Fei!
Elegant way.
Lin Chen frowned slightly.
Zi Ning will be in danger!
If the demon gods of the same generation share a drop of divine blood, Zi Ning might not be able to hide it.
Lin Chen took a deep breath. Even if he didn't have this mission, he really should come to the Demon Country. There are many problems that need to be solved!
Hope there will be a good result.
After walking around in the Shuixin Tribe, Lin Chen was already familiar with the customs and customs of the Demon Country, and was about to rush to the next tribe.
Feiya planned a specific route for Lin Chen. There were several tribes along the way, each with its own characteristics. It was necessary to visit them once in order to better integrate into the Demon Kingdom!
But before leaving, there was some commotion in the Water Heart Tribe, with many monster beasts roaring loudly and even the totem poles glowing.
Seeing this, Lin Chen followed the crowd outside and saw a group of monsters returning. Several warships landed and a large number of monster prisoners were escorted out.
The remaining warships turned around and headed towards the border. This was their share of the conscription, and they were paid directly with prisoners!
"It should be the warriors of the Red Fire Tribe. Did a conflict break out between the two tribes?" Feiya blinked. This is a very common thing.
But what is unusual is that in Feiya’s impression, the Red Fire Tribe should be much more powerful than the Water Heart Tribe!
Why were so many soldiers captured instead?
The Demon Kingdom is not peaceful. Even the current national war has only slowed down the internal fighting, and the conflicts between various tribes still exist.
It is not uncommon for the Shuixin Tribe to transport war prisoners directly to the front line to meet their tribe's recruitment quota.
From this point of view, it is indeed more barbaric than the human race. At least the human race is still reasonable on the surface, and it is impossible to be so explicit.
"Is there any problem?" Lin Chen asked.
Feiya smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. Logically speaking, the Water Heart Tribe is just a medium-sized tribe, while the Red Fire Tribe is a large tribe. Logically speaking, the Water Heart Tribe is just a medium-sized tribe.
Say, we can’t achieve this kind of result.”
Looking at the ostentatious gestures of the returning warriors from the Water Heart Tribe and the welcoming scene among the tribesmen, it is enough to see that the Water Heart Tribe has won a victory.
"So, something must have happened to the Red Fire Tribe," Lin Chen said.
"It may have been a joint attack by all major tribes, or it may have been a conflict between another large tribe and the Red Fire Tribe, and the Water Heart Tribe took advantage of it," Feiya said.
This kind of thing happens every day in the demon kingdom, it is normal, and the demon clan's extremely strong reproductive ability is enough to smooth out this kind of consumption.
Small tribes will continue to be replenished, and the winning tribe will become stronger and stronger.
This can be regarded as a kind of ecology of the demon country. Since it has been like this for endless years and there are no signs of decline, it is enough to show that there is nothing wrong with this model, but it is more cruel and naked than the human race.
Lin Chen nodded. This was just a small episode. Lin Chen didn't take it to heart and planned to leave.
"The Red Fire Tribe is in trouble this time. We must seize the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat, or even destroy them in one fell swoop!" The monsters from the Water Heart Tribe were talking.
"Hmph, this Red Fire tribe has killed and robbed us a lot in the past. We can only swallow our anger. This time, we have to settle all the old and new grudges!"
"It is said that several other medium-sized tribes have already been dispatched. There is a high probability that Chihuo will not be able to withstand it!"
"Speaking of which, why did Chi Huo suddenly become like this?"
"I heard, I heard it has something to do with the human race!"
"I know this. Some time ago, a demon exorcist from a certain tribe entered the demon kingdom. He was very wild. As soon as he came up, he joined a small tribe and subdued the chief there in front of all the warriors!"
"That tribe took refuge with the Crimson Fire Tribe. The Crimson Fire Tribe was furious and sent strong men to hunt down the demon exorcist. However, for some unknown reason, the demon exorcist entered the central Crimson Fire Clan of the Crimson Fire Tribe.
Fire Nest, not only stole all the red fire crystals from the ten thousand trillion magma, but also fried and ate the hatching eggs of the Red Flame Eagle King!"
"The Scarlet Flame Eagle King was furious and led the tribe's strong men to pursue him. However, he was unable to capture the enemy, resulting in a large number of casualties. The Scarlet Fire Tribe was empty. Other tribes seized the opportunity to go up and take a few bites. As a result, it became what it is now.
The situation is over!"
Lin Chen listened and couldn't help but stop leaving. Who is this exorcist master? He is so wild. Even if he steals things, is it too much to eat fried eggs?
"Then what's the origin of the demon exorcist? Why can't he kill the Red Flame Eagle King?"
"The demon exorcist has a fire-type divine bird beside him. It has extremely terrifying flames. The fire of the Red Flame Eagle King has been suppressed and cannot be used at all!"
"The Scarlet Flame Eagle King has a god-level bloodline with extremely strong flames. How can the exorcist master control such a powerful monster?"
"Yes, it looks a bit like Suzaku, but I'm not sure."
Lin Chen's expression changed.
No, it looks a bit like Suzaku?
Or a wild exorcist?
Isn't this Xiaoye?
Isn't this guy a little too reckless to exorcise demons into other people's homes?
When the human race enters the demon race, they are very careful, hide their tracks and lurk. This is not a good thing. They conquer the demon race in a big way and think they are in Middle-earth!
If you don't give face to the demon clan, you won't be afraid of being eaten alive!
Lin Chen's heart tightened. Xiaoye was so wild and her behavior was so reckless that Lin Chen felt ashamed.
Now that she has caused such a big mess, even if the Red Fire Tribe has no time to take care of itself, other powerful tribes may not tolerate her.
The demon exorcist is the most hostile to the demon clan. After all, if the demon clan has an exorcist, Lin Chen's first reaction would be to kill him.
Xiaoye may be in great danger!
But Lin Chen was worried that Xiao Ye was not aware of this and might still be grilling fish somewhere!
