Chapter 282 The Desperate Situation of the Demon Race
"Thank you, Tree Master!"
"No need to thank me, this is originally yours. There is one more thing you need to pay attention to."
"Please speak, Mr. Tree!"
"Your natal spirit beast is the Qilin. It has not yet fully awakened, and its memory has not returned. It was it that killed the five-clawed golden dragon. Although Pige will not kill you, because you two share a life, its energy will affect you. If one day you cannot suppress this energy, the consequences will be disastrous. So you can only collect the twelve spirit beads as soon as possible to awaken Mother Earth and let her help you solve this problem."
It's back to the original problem. He must collect all the spirit beads before Pi Ge fully awakens.
"Thank you for the reminder, Old Tree. I'll remember it."
Another object appeared in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a branch. "With this branch, you can come back here at any time. The specific method is already in it."
……
In the primeval forest, Ada and the other Avengers were still waiting there until Ian was sent back by the old tree. "Boss, Boss..."
"Ian, you've been gone for an hour. Did the old tree man give you any instructions?"
Ian smiled and said, "Oh, nothing. The old tree is guarding here so it's okay for now. Let's go to the South Region."
Of course Ada didn't believe it. He looked at Xiao Ai who was following him and didn't ask any more questions.
After some disguise, the Avengers team dressed up as monsters, and it took them half a month to cross the southwestern section of Pangu Mountain.
There are many powerful monsters in it, including some of the eighth and ninth levels. Relying on the characteristics of the treasure rat, it took some time to turn left and right along the way before entering the southern region.
During this period, their whereabouts were inevitably exposed. The combat power displayed by the Avengers really shocked Ada. The eighth-level monster was easily killed by their five-man team. There was even an encounter with an eighth-level high-level monster. In order not to cause trouble, Ian shot it in the head with just one shot.
Only then did Ada re-examine the team and no longer dared to have any obvious thoughts.
The Avengers did this to give it a try.
The situation in the southern region of the demon clan is much more chaotic than that in the western region. When they had no food, they organized people to go hunting in Pangu Mountain. Many demon clan members have died there. Don't think that the demon clan's combat power is stronger than that of monster beasts. They are not the same race. Monster beasts are still evolved and are not created by Pangu and Nuwa. The strength of monster beasts is not weaker than that of the demon clan, but they have not formed their own civilization system.
Everyone didn't mind their own business and quickly headed towards Shuitsike City.
Ada introduced the power situation in the Southern Region. The Great Demon King - Lewis, the sixth prince of the Demon King, was an ambitious man with the cultivation level of the eighth level. After unifying the Southern Region, all the previous Great Demon Kings were forced to obey him. Together with those merged from the Eastern Region, there are now at least 6 to 700 eighth-level warriors and tens of thousands of seventh-level warriors. He has eight legions under his command, each with more than one million people, a total of tens of millions of troops.
It would be extremely irrational and unrealistic to carry out a decapitation operation under such circumstances. They could only take one step at a time and look for any breakthrough after they captured the city of Shuitsk.
Except for pregnant women and children, all the monsters are soldiers. They are not suitable for childbirth. Now the Eastern Region has been merged with them. Every monster in the monster tribe is dizzy and hungry. Ordinary people have already started to eat tree bark.
All the towns and cities they saw along the way were very dilapidated, until they arrived at the city of Shuitske, where the scene was completely different.
The place is crowded with people everywhere, and basically no goods can be bought. It's not that people can't afford it, but no one is interested in doing business anymore. If this continues, even without the invasion of ghosts, it won't be long before the demons start to split up, and they may even fight with monsters for survival.
After circling the city for three days, they evacuated. There was really no place to stay. Monsters above level six did not need to be fed, but ordinary people could do the same. And how could the strong men above level six care about their lives?
During this time, they obtained an important piece of information - Lewis, the Great Demon King of the Southern Territory, began to plan to streamline the troops, and anyone below level six would likely be laid off.
This strategy of its is tantamount to cutting off its own retreat. The common people will all starve to death, and every death of a strong man above level six will mean one less, and it will eventually be exterminated by itself.
Ian had not learned much about the situation in the Western Regions, so he asked:
"Ada, is this the case in your Western Region as well?"
Ada said respectfully:
"If we go back, our Western Region is better off. Although the monsters from the Northern Region have joined us, we did not recruit them. We just divided an area for them to live in, so we can still maintain the original situation."
Ian frowned and sneered:
"Hmph, I don't think your Western Region is doing any better. It won't be long before you have internal strife. If the people in the Eastern Region don't have food, won't they come to rob them? There will still be at least six-level strong men left in the Southern Region, but you will die at the hands of your own people.
Furthermore, there are still some original forces in the Western Region, unlike the Southern Region which has long been unified. If other forces absorb the Northern Region forces to attack Charlotte, what kind of scene can you imagine?"
Ada reacted, "Ah! Then...then I will report this matter immediately and let the Great Demon King quickly incorporate other forces?"
Ian raised his hand to stop him:
"Wait a minute, don't you see what the Southern Region is like now? Even if we recruit them, won't the final outcome be the same as the Southern Region?"
Ada was very anxious, "What should we do? This is a deadly situation."
Ian stood up, put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth. After a while, he made a big decision, "For now, you only have one way to go."
"What way?"
Ian touched his chin and said, "Ada, you should first explain the pros and cons of the matter to the Great Demon King Charlotte Bingming, and then explain the situation we saw in the South Region. I will tell you the details when I think it through, but you have to tell the Great Demon King Charlotte not to act rashly."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." After saying that, Ada left.
"Boss, how do we do this?"
"Yes, this mission is impossible to complete. The demon race has become like this. What's the point of unifying them?"
"I think, why don't we retreat first? Why not let Gu Shu prepare for defense in advance?"
The brothers expressed their opinions one after another. If Ian had not met the old tree, he would definitely choose to return to the human world. But now his vision has been opened up and he is not limited to the differences between races. What's more, he has agreed to the old tree to unify the demon clan to fight against the Shura ghost clan.
"Don't worry, brothers. I have a way. If this method works, we can achieve multiple goals at once. Maybe we can unify the entire demon race without bloodshed..."
