Chapter 667 - 667 The Giant Demon's Sacrifice
667 The Giant Demon’s Sacrifice
The tenacity of the vines made them even more terrifying.
The vine’s ferocious spikes had already pierced into the Wind Pterosaur’s body. The spikes seemed to contain an astonishing amount of poison. The Wind Pterosaur’s struggling strength began to weaken rapidly, and its body began to stiffen.
This scene fell into the eyes of Li Xiang and the others, who were in the void, and they couldn’t help but gasp on the spot.
He had witnessed such a powerful Wind Pterosaur Bird being killed by the Snake Hair Tree in just a few breaths. In the blink of an eye, it was thrown to the ground and appeared at the roots of the tree. The roots naturally pierced into the body of the Wind Pterosaur, absorbing the essence of its flesh and blood and turning them into nourishment for growth.
It was a shocking sight!
“What a terrifying Snake Hair Tree! From the moment it attacked to the moment it strangled its prey, it only took a few breaths. There wasn’t even time to rescue it. It’s fast, vicious, and accurate. It’s born purely for hunting and indeed very strange.” Zhang Fei swallowed his saliva and his eyes widened.
This world had completely subverted his original worldview. His understanding had already undergone a complete change.
There were all kinds of demon beasts, but he still felt a strong sense of shock to see such a terrifying evil tree.
“Under the Snake Hair Tree is the Demoness Flower. Every day, some cracks will appear, and liquid will flow out of the cracks like tears. However, once this liquid appears, it will evaporate and form a unique fragrance. This kind of fragrance can attract most of the fierce beasts and ferocious birds over, and then the Snake Hair Tree will hunt them down. The Demoness Flower can be considered a companion plant of the Snake Hair Tree.” Li Xiang told him what he had found out.
The two complemented each other. The Demoness Flower needed the Snake Hair Tree’s protection to grow, while the Snake Hair tree needed the witch flower’s fragrance to attract fierce beasts and ferocious birds. After hunting them, they would become its nourishment. If one of the two were missing, it would be difficult for them to grow.
This was the principle of mutual companionship. They would assist and promote each other.
“The Snake Hair Tree didn’t attack the Giant Demons. I’m afraid there’s a secret.”
Huang Chengyan noticed that a Giant Demon was holding a sword and patrolling around the Snake Hair Tree. However, the tree did not attack them. Instead, it turned a blind eye to them.
“This Giant Demon tribe was built with the Snake Hair Tree as the center. Obviously, the tree has a special meaning and status in this tribe.”
Li Jing muttered as he pointed at the huge snake hair tree.
Roar! Roar! Roar…
At this moment, a wave of cheers came from the Giant Demon tribe.
In an open space not far from the Snake Hair Tree, an altar appeared.
The altar didn’t look very eye-catching. It was dark yellow, like the color of the soil.
The altar was engraved with all kinds of mysterious patterns and countless ancient runes. Those patterns looked like a picture of a living creature offering sacrifices to heaven and they were praying.
The Giant Demons surrounded the altar and danced strangely. They let out strange roars, and their faces were filled with excitement.
The most eye-catching one was a four-meter-tall Giant Demon with a burly body. It held a combat sword in its hand and stood in front of the altar.
“That should be the Giant Demon chief. They’re starting the sacrifice,” said Li Xiang in a deep voice.
Sure enough, after a series of dances, the Giant Demons grabbed huge fierce wolves and came to the altar. There were also Giant Demons who brought huge tigers.
“Offer the sacrifice!”
The Giant Demon chief shouted.
Bang bang bang…
The Giant Demons carried the ferocious wolves and tigers and stepped onto the altar. On the altar, they waved their battle swords and killed the ferocious wolves. The blood of the wolves splattered on the altar. When the altar came into contact with the blood, some of the runes on it shone with a strange light.
Then, a magical change appeared.
The souls of the dead tigers and wolves were pulled out, and their blood was mixed into the altar.
As the souls of the tigers and wolves were absorbed, countless divine lights circulated on the altar. Countless runes flickered, intertwining and changing, vaguely forming a vortex.
Hiss… Hiss…
The sound of boiling water could be heard. The flesh, blood, corpses, and souls all disappeared into the vortex. The altar seemed to have turned into a powerful pill furnace, refining the offerings.
Almost at the same time, an invisible will descended on the altar without any warning, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching everything.
With the interference of the mysterious will, a pill was condensed out of thin air. This pill was green like jade, and the images of tigers and wolves appeared on the surface of the pill. They were very lifelike, and one could vaguely hear the howls of tigers and wolves.
“Tiger Wolf Pill!”
Li Xiang’s eyes flashed with a strange look.
The information about the pill appeared in his mind. It was called the Tiger Wolf Pill. It was completely forged from the flesh and soul of a ferocious tiger and a demonic wolf, and it was a pill condensed from a mysterious power. Not only was this pill free of impurities, but it also had a magical power to strengthen the body. It could be said to be miraculous.
The Giant Demons kept sending ferocious wolves and tigers to the altar. Not just one or two, but in large numbers. The moment they were offered, they were twisted into pieces, and green jade-colored Tiger Wolf Pills naturally formed.
By the time the offering was complete, the number of Tiger Wolf Pills on the altar had reached several hundred.
“What a magical altar! It can produce pills through sacrifice. I’ve never heard of such a method before.” Huang Chengyan took a deep breath and his eyes were filled with shock.
What did this mean? It meant that as long as they had sufficient materials, they could produce an endless supply of Tiger Wolf Pills.
“They’re taking the Tiger Wolf Pills,” said Zhang Fei suddenly.
After the Giant Demon chief received the Tiger Wolf Pills, it immediately distributed them to the others.
After each Giant Demon obtained it, they revealed a look of wild joy.
Roar!
A Giant Demon swallowed the Tiger Wolf Pill on the spot. Immediately, the howls of tigers and wolves came from its body. Its muscles were moving at a speed visible to the naked eye as if a horned dragon was shuttling back and forth. Its majestic HP spewed out, and it grew a little taller.
One could tell that this Giant Demon’s strength had already undergone a transformation, and it was even more powerful than before.
“This Tiger Wolf Pill can directly enhance physical strength. Just one pill is already so effective. Is this an immortal pill?” Zhang Fei’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw this.
His body was also very strong, and he was also a body refiner. He was very clear about the pain of body refining. It was simply too difficult to raise one’s cultivation. This kind of pill that could directly increase physical strength was simply a divine medicine.
The Tiger Wolf Pill was a supreme treasure for body refiners.
“This altar is no small matter. Once these Giant Demons use the altar to continuously offer sacrifices and obtain medicinal pills, it won’t be long before the strength of this tribe skyrockets,” said Huang Chengyan in a serious tone.
