Chapter 15: Cool points are really hard to capture
The name of the painting demon is because of the special appearance of this demon race, as a highly specialized demon with a high degree of flesh, the appearance of the painting demon is only a rough human outline, but it is as thin as paper, as if it is a piece of human flesh that has been flattened raw, and the surface is colorful, just like a painting.
However, unlike this appearance, the painting demons are not the type that is good at camouflage, their personalities are extremely cowardly and timid, even if their strength is superior to that of their opponents in battle, as long as they still have the possibility of defeat and death, they will subconsciously avoid fighting...... This kind of temperament makes it impossible to believe that this creature can be a member of the demon race that is thirsty for killing. And because of the personality, this kind of demon clan can't engage in espionage work in the battlefield behind enemy lines surrounded by enemies at all, and can only appear on the frontal battlefield, as the target of being targeted by the demon team, crying and rushing to the battlefield.
Then play a role on the battlefield that makes humans gnash their teeth.
The Painter is the most cunning commander on the front lines, and that cowardly instinct brings a flair for tactics - the Painter always finds a way to achieve the greatest victory at the least cost. Then, under the order established by the Demon Emperor, with the authority of the commander, the power of the other demons was maximized.
In battles involving the Painted Demon, human beings always have to pay more and heavier prices, and for this, they even felt desperate for a while.
Compared with the demons, the human race is at a disadvantage in terms of single strength, and the number is also at a disadvantage, and if the tactical and strategic aspects can no longer regain the advantage, it is simply impossible to see the slightest chance of winning. Later, it was not until the Nine Immortals Overthrew the original ruling layer and changed the command system that the situation finally ushered in a turnaround.
In addition, the quality of painting demons as a demon itself is quite good, and it can be ranked in the middle and upper ranks among all demons, so there are often painting demons in the demon generals level.
But in fact, human beings don't think much of the painting demons.
Because the frontal combat ability of the painting demon is very weak, it obviously has a strong strength, but it almost never can play half of it, and always has to reserve half of the strength for running. If you encounter the slightest risk, you will want to run away, and even worse......
Painting demons are the only kind of demons that may have the desire to surrender to humans - although limited to the majesty of the Demon Emperor, no demon dares to surrender in public, but when it comes to death, the rest of the demons will erupt with more powerful power to seek to die together, but the painting demon will struggle back and forth between the survival instinct and the coercion of the Demon Emperor, stunned...... Of course, humans have never really captured a captive of the Painted Demons, but its performance has surprised many people compared to those demons who will never negotiate with each other.
Now, in the exhibition room, there are five corpses of painted demons, neatly pasted on the four walls.
Pointing at the Demon Sword one by one, the shocks caused were almost the same, and the amplitude was not large, which was the standard reaction of ordinary demon corpses. And because it was a corpse that had been sealed in the dust for 10,000 years, it didn't cause the reaction of the Demon Sword at the beginning - the most indispensable thing in the Chaos Ruins was the corpse of the demon clan, so of course Wang Jiu would block out the corpse reaction.
"It's strange that there is no special reaction." Wang Jiu put away his finger magic sword, and was even more puzzled by the current situation.
It seems that it is really just two first-generation explorers, who have traveled thousands of miles to find the Temple of War in the ruins of the Golden Cloud Peak, and then vented their anger in the face of the remains of the demons who destroyed the Kyushu civilization in the past, and finally completely destroyed their own corpses......
In terms of Wang Jiu's understanding of human beings, there is really no internal logic in this set of behaviors. But considering that the two first sect masters came out of the Dark Ages, maybe there is a special perversion in temperament, or maybe the entire human race is in a kind of perversion in a special era, and then it is possible......
Just thinking about it, the Holy Sect Master next to him said: "Perhaps, it was the two ancestors who discovered the breath of the remnants of the demon clan in the ruins of the flood desolation, and tracked them all the way to this point, and finally died with their opponents." ”
Wang Jiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought about it for a while, admitting that this was indeed very likely to be the truth.
Judging from the footprints along the way and the causal connection with the demons, this explanation makes perfect sense. It was a high probability event that there were still a few remnants of demons in the fragments of the flood desolation back then, especially the specialized demons who were good at stealing their lives.
In the middle of last year, in Qingfeng Mountain outside Qingyun City, Wang Jiu discovered a remnant of the demon clan that had survived for 10,000 years, and if this was still the case in Xiangzhou, it was more likely that there were demons surviving in the chaos. Although the demons have a tendency to self-destruct as a race, they are very good at surviving individually. Among them, the demons above the median level often have longevity attributes, and their life expectancy is not inferior to that of the true immortals in human legends.
And with the level of Xiangzhou civilization two thousand years ago, it is already a miracle to be able to go deep into the chaos ruins, once you really encounter the demons, of course, you will die. This practice of grinding the flesh into powder and neatly stacking it in two piles is indeed a trick used by painting demons......
"Before the first sect master died, I am afraid he experienced very severe torture." The Sect Master said in a muffled voice, "In all the historical sources, whether it is based on the internal information of our Holy Sect or the family records of the Seventh Family, the two founders possess a tenacity that is incomparable to anyone. When they worked with the leaders of the Seven Families of the Three Academies to open up the borders, they took the lead and often suffered heavy losses, but even if they were cut by a thousand knives, they would not change color at all. Therefore, these two blood words must contain endless pain. ”
Wang Jiu looked at the blood words on the wall, nodded for a while, and said: "It is true that you can see very strong feelings, and this is also one of the favorite entertainment of the demon race, using pain to stimulate human feelings and draw nutrients from it." As a race that has destroyed all worlds, the demons are better at punishment and torture than anyone else, even the most iron-clad human monks, if they fall into the hands of the demons, they will definitely collapse physically and mentally, and there has never been an exception so far. ”
The sect master suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
The encounter of the two first sect masters may be even more tragic than expected, they were the hope of human civilization during their lifetimes, and no one was convinced of the great heroes. However, when facing the demons, they were defeated without resistance - there was no trace of fierce fighting near the corpses of the two suzerains - and suffered a torture that caused them to collapse physically and mentally. And even ...... After the collapse, they are likely to reveal the secrets of human civilization.
The so-called disgrace is nothing more than that.
"Demon ...... Demons! The sect master subconsciously clenched his fists and smashed his anger at a specimen of painting demons on the wall.
There was a rumbling tremble, and the entire exhibition room was shaken by the punch, but it didn't stop there. The full force of the Fallen Sea Realm Cultivator's punch could not even cause a crack to bloom on the wall of the exhibition room. And the corpse of the painting demon on the wall is also unharmed.
Even after 10,000 years, the legacy of the Kyushu era still seems distant to the Xiangshu civilization.
This desperate difference in strength strengthened the determination of the sect master.
"Predecessors, the Holy Father has been emphasizing the concept of being prepared for danger in times of peace. We must not be paralyzed by the peace of Sangshu, and we must always be vigilant against unknown enemies. For 2,000 years, the people of the Holy Sect have always been vigilant about possible crises and have tried their best to prepare for them. But now it seems that the preparation is not enough! I'm already the strongest in the Xiangzhou Continent, but I can't even help a corpse that has been dead for 10,000 years. If there is another crisis of demon invasion, Xiangzhou will inevitably be destroyed! Therefore, please also ask the seniors to work tirelessly and take on the responsibility of leadership! ”
Wang Jiu groaned for a moment, but he still didn't rush to agree.
Although it seems that most of the questions have been answered now, such as why the Holy Sect Sect Master would faintly induce the reaction of the Demon Sword, because their founder and the Demon Race have a blood feud, and this causal connection with the Demon Race is easy to pass down from generation to generation, causing the reaction of the Demon Sword.
But there are still some details that cannot be explained, for example, why is it that the one who specifically induces the reaction of the Finger Demon Sword is the eternal hope of the ten immortal methods? How did two human monks two thousand years ago go all the way to the core of the Golden Cloud Dome Ruins? Did you bring it all the way after being captured by the demons? And observing the distortion of time and space along the way, you can see very obvious traces of man-made, as if this exhibition room is deliberately hidden in chaos, so what is the reason for this manipulation?
The unsolved mystery still exists, so Wang Jiu is far from being satisfied with the current answer.
The suspicion of the Holy Sect still hasn't disappeared in his opinion, and he would rather be more cautious about things related to the demon race.
"I'm going to go back and check out the information about the first Sect Master, the more the better."
The sect master was stunned for a moment, didn't ask more, and nodded in response: "No problem." ”
Wang Jiu was still not at ease: "I want all the information, no matter how big or small." ”
“…… All? ”
Wang Jiu explained: "In addition to the formal historical materials, those folk legends, wild histories and even scripts have to be collected, and many historical truths are hidden in the details. ”
"But the first sect master is a legend in the Xiangzhou Continent, and there is too much information."
Wang Jiu said: "I can collect as much as I want, and my data processing is enough to deal with it." ”
"Do you really want to talk about the history of the wild?" The sect master asked as he took out a book from his bosom, "I happen to have one here......
Wang Jiu took it and took a look, "I am the Holy Sect Master of Rebirth".
"Alas, at first I thought it was written about me when I read the title of the book, but I was trying to see what I could do better if I could do it all over again in my life in those coquettish literati. As a result, I bought it back and found out that it was written by the first sect master, which is really a pity. ”
Wang Jiu thought for a while and said: "According to the mainstream routines of the existing market, most of them are to have sex with the first beauty in Xiangzhou. ”
"......" The sect master clearly showed a disgusted expression of innocence being tarnished, "Zhao Shenlu? Disgusting. ”
