494 These Demons Are Too Despicable and Shameless! (1/2)

Red skin and fangs were a couple of characteristics of the royal family of demon race.

Yet, Nine Regions was so big that there were actually human-like creatures with red skin and fangs. Feng Yin didn't write it in details in his letter so there were at least seven to eight species that met this ambiguity. The so-called red skin and fangs were probably just coincidence.

But Wang Lu never believed in any coincidence, especially since he knew that, a hundred years later, the Savage Land would be occupied by the black tide. The fall of golden generation could not be detached from the demon race.

Seeing the obvious reaction of Wang Lu from reading the content of the letter, Ouyang Shang immediately gawked. ”Junior Brother, who are you referring to?”

”Senior Brother ought to remember the second great war of immortal and demon two thousand years ago right?”

”You mean the royal family of the demon race?”

As the Big Brother of Spirit Sword Sect, Ouyang Shang was equally knowledgeable and quickly responded to what Wang Lu was saying.

”I think this explanation is a bit far-fetched. The race that has disappeared for two thousand years could suddenly appear here? Moreover, the royal family of demon race? Warmly entertaining Junior Brother Feng Yin and the others? No matter how you look at it, there is no connection between these and the known factors.”

Wang Lu replied, ”That's because your known factors are not enough. In my history line, you guys died in the hands of demon race.”

”But, if they're demons, what reason do they have to help Junior Brother Feng Yin and the others to survive the sandstorm?”

Wang Lu said, ”In short, it's because of the good intention to heal the sick and save people.”

Ouyang Shang said, ”If it's not from good intention, then it can only be explained that they helped Junior Brother Feng Yin for other purposes.”

Wang Lu nodded. ”Moreover, looking at the situation from the letter... Just as they sent out a letter asking for help, the demon race immediately went to the rescue. The timing here is suspicious.”

Ouyang Shang said, ”If it's not a coincidence, then it's intentional. I assume the situation went as follow: Through the changes in the underground feng shui line of spiritual energy, they found out that Junior Brother Feng Yin had sent out a letter for help. Presumably, if left unchecked, there might be outsiders to come to the rescue, so the first step would be to save them to avoid complications...”

”What is the point of doing so? Is it because they lack in strength, fear of external power, or that Feng Yin and the others have a special value to them?”

Ouyang Shang curiously asked, ”What does the special value refer to?”

Wang Lu said, ”In my understanding, if Feng Yin and the others don't have any value to them, they would've killed them directly. As the native of the area, they should be able to do that at least. But, danger lies in every step of the way in Savage Land, and thus for Feng Yin and the others to end up dead is a normal thing here. And after the sandstorm is over, there would be no bones left behind. By then, we're not going to find clues even if we want to.”

”Then the so-called value... ” Ouyang Shang said, obviously became even more confused, ”Junior Brother, according to your knowledge, does demon race have the tradition of human blood sacrifice in exchange for power?”

Wang Lu said, ”That kind of tradition does not only exist in demon race, human cultivators also do that. I'm sure you have heard the stories of those evil cultivators sacrificing thousands of people to refine ten thousand spirit blood bead. The demon race civilization is no less advanced than that of human, so it's normal if they have similar skills.”

Ouyang Shang said, ”But it still doesn't make sense. If it's blood sacrifice, they could just do it and that's that. Feng Yin and the others were trapped by the sandstorm for a few days, so they were already like dried oil lamp. If the demon race wanted to make their move, Feng Yin and the others had no resistance at all. Although it's not clearly said in the letter, it could be inferred that the demon race is in a pretty good condition in the desert, their overall strength is not bad, which absolutely can't be resisted by those eight persons in the team. Finally, they don't really need to give Feng Yin and the others supplies to help them regain their strength.”

Wang Lu touched his chin and thought out loud, ”From these deductions, we can infer the following: Demon race needs them to be alive, for them to maintain a certain strength, and also for them to not consciously produce resistance toward demon race. And lastly, there can't be any foreign interference. If we integrate these several points, then do they want to take their seed?”

”What?”

”For example, they have fully absorbed the lessons of the failure of the first and second great war of immortal and demon. Thus, they intend to create a completely new race as a fusion of two races. Therefore, they need the seed of Feng Yin and other elite talented human cultivators. It's basically demon race's adultery... Ah, wrong, it's make up plan.”

...” Upon hearing this, Ouyang Shang remained silent, because he had nothing to say.

”According to my understanding of demon race, right now they should be a race on the verge of extinction. If you are interested, I will explain the specifics for you later... Although it's not clear how they came to Nine Regions, but I think, for an endangered race, reproduction is the first priority. If their population number is low then frequent inbreeding is likely to deteriorate the quality of their race—At least, as far as I know, the royal family of demon race, as long as they are an adult, they could use their own strength to condense out a set of heavy armor. However, in the letter, Feng Yin said that they're almost naked, which means that if they kept degenerating, they would probably not have the primary sexual characteristics anymore. Right now, they are likely trying to mate with the best people in Nine Regions to optimize the gene of their race.”

”Why do you have a reasonable and fine logic specifically to justify a ridiculous conjecture for adultery?”

Wang Lu revealed a faint smile. ”You flatter me, Senior Brother.”

”You're welcome...” Ouyang Shang really couldn't vent out his anger and could only cup his hand in respect, feeling ashamed in his inferiority in the aspect of moral decay.

Wang Lu let out a laugh and said, ”If it weren't for the adultery plan... make up plan, what other reason could it be? It's not like they are playing the long game, in order to capture-one-must-let-loose strategy; They wait for us to relax our vigilance and then set up another crisis to come out gain, and then use Feng Yin and the others as hostage to bait us, the reinforcement?”
