Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 142
Serpentis lived in the deep sea, where no light could be seen, with a group of sea monsters.
There was a kind of sea monster that looked like a cuttlefish, but was a thousand times bigger than an ordinary cuttlefish. Serpentis called this sea monster Cracken.
Cracken had a huge appetite. Not only did he eat ordinary fish and shrimp, but he also ate the nearby Serpentis. Cracken had a very high IQ, and he asked the Serpentis to sacrifice one person every year for him to eat. Cracken's body was so huge that it occupied the whole sea. Serpentis could not lead the whole race to migrate without alerting him.
The harsh living environment made the Serpentis more resilient and cunning. They did not care about morality and conscience from the beginning.
As long as they could survive, they did not care what they did. Finally, one day, the first priest of their race made a legendary potion that could poison a "god" to death. He wanted to trick Cracken into swallowing it.
The reason he used the potion was because Cracken, the sea monster, seemed to have become a demigod.
The world of demon beasts was very different from that of humans. It was not as simple as a primate evolving into an ape and then into a human.
Generally speaking, demon beasts evolved into orcs. But there was a very rare situation. In a corner of the world where almost no one visited and disturbed, powerful demon beasts quietly absorbed elements and power. Their bodies grew infinitely, and energy flowed in their bodies.
Then one day, they encountered some kind of opportunity and turned into human form.
But they did not turn into an orc. Instead, they became an even more powerful being. Even the first priest of the Serpentis, who had seen a lot of things, had never seen such a thing happen.
After the huge magical beast turned into a thin and small human, its strength did not decrease. Instead, it became even more powerful and terrifying. Cracken stood quietly in the sea. As soon as it opened its eyes, golden light shot out. "Where is today's food?"
"I need more energy," he said while licking his fingers like a human.
Therefore, the people of the Sea Serpent Clan immediately understood why Kraken kept asking them to sacrifice.
In the past, they had always thought that Cracken wanted to suppress them and make them submit to Cracken's tyranny forever. However, they did not expect that intelligent creatures were rich in energy. Devouring intelligent creatures could make Cracken 'grow' better.
Now he finally knew, but it was too late.
Cracken lived in the dark depths of the ocean all year round and absorbed all the dark elements. It had a strong ability to devour and erode.
When he was still a sea monster, he was worried that there would be problems with the circulation of his energy, so he couldn't eat sea snakes wantonly. Now that he had finally reached the peak, he looked at the sea snakes like a hungry ghost that had been starving for eight hundred years, drooling. "If I eat them all … I can become the God of Darkness!"
Cracken, who had been a sea monster for many years, did not know much about Gods. He was just absorbing energy instinctively.
He did not know that to become a God, one had to have divinity. He also did not know that the God of Darkness was not something a sea monster like him could dream of becoming.
The primitive desire of an intelligent creature drove him to kill the Serpentis. That day, the sea was filled with cries of agony. The Serpentis, who had always been tough and patient, cried loudly for their own people. Blood flowed into the shallow waters, attracting groups of sharks to circle around, ready to pick up the leftovers.
Cracken held the heart of the patriarch of the Serpentis at that time and laughed wildly.
"I will become the new God of Darkness!"
The son of the patriarch of the Serpentis attacked him with a spear, but this powerful enemy did not move at all.
The first priest of the Serpentis hesitated and did not dare to use the poison that could kill a demigod. If he was not careful, the entire sea would be polluted, and these weak sea snakes would also die.
If someone came to save them at this time, the Serpentis would be willing to worship him as a God!
Almost all of the Sea Serpents were thinking the same thing. Under the oppression of Kraken's absolute power, they finally despaired. However, at this moment, there was a sudden tremor in the shallow sea, and the sharks fled.
A large black hand grabbed Kraken and crushed him in the midst of Kraken's shocked roar.
After the explosion, Cracken returned to his original appearance. His limbs were broken everywhere, but they seemed to be attracted by something. They floated around the large hand and turned into countless black light spots.
They merged into the hand.
The large hand disappeared, and what appeared in the eyes of the Serpentis was a young man in the form of a human. He closed his eyes and raised his head, absorbing the dark energy that Cracken had accumulated for many years.
The Sea Serpents hid at the side and watched carefully. However, the man did not ask them to sacrifice themselves like Kraken did. He only looked around and blinked.
"Serpentis?
It's actually a dark creature. How rare. "
"You have two choices. One is to continue living in the deep sea, but Cracken's death will probably cause the various kinds of energy stored in the deep sea to increase rapidly. In a few years, there will be new intelligent races competing with you for territory … Ah, of course, there is the second choice."
"Come with me to the land."
As for who this Lord was, he himself did not give a clear explanation.
The Serpentis looked at each other and did not know what to do. But because of the death of the patriarch, the old priest had overdrawn his spiritual power to fight against Cracken. He was grieving too much, so soon he could not hold on. The ones in power in the clan were the more aggressive and adventurous young generation.
The priest's apprentice, who was now the first priest, decided to follow the lord.
It was only later that they found out that the lord was the true God of Darkness.
Although the lord had never admitted his identity as the God of Darkness, and he did not allow others to call him 'His Majesty', which was a quirk of the gods … The first priest and patriarch of the Serpentis never dared to look down on the lord because of this reason. They also did not dare to play any tricks on him. It was because the scene of Cracken exploding with a single punch was too shocking. It was enough to scare all the Serpentis present.
The first priest of the Serpentis gulped. He waved his hand and whispered something in Cesar's ear. He told the child to go back first, and then he would go alone to ask for forgiveness.
He could not let Cesar follow him. Although the God of Darkness had always been gentle, what if he got angry and crushed them to death?
It didn't matter if he died. He had lived long enough, but the young people in the clan could not die.
The Shaman of the Sand Scorpion Tribe and the Red Fox Dragon-eagle Tribe walked with Xu Jun. On the way, they met the Great Shaman of the Naka Witch Tribe and the Priest of the Mer-people. The Great Shaman and the Priest of the Mer-people were said to have eaten too much barbecue last night. Now their stomachs were uncomfortable. They had been squatting in the toilet for a long time. They finally came out, but they did not want to go to the large group to listen to people teasing them for being old and weak. They simply followed Xu Jun.
"Oh, old people are useless. When I was young, I could eat a giant octopus alone!" The old Priestess of the Mer-people covered her stomach and sighed.
The Great Shaman of the Naka Witch Tribe couldn't help but sigh. "Yes, when I was young, I could eat a whole pig!"
The Shaman of the Sand Scorpion Tribe quickly comforted the two old people who felt old. "You all eat chili. If you ask me, maybe the chili of our embassy is not suitable for the Beastmen … I can't cook today. Let's all drink bone soup. I guarantee it's light and won't have diarrhea!"
Xu Jun only thought about going out with Roschinke in the morning and didn't eat much breakfast.
Now that Roschinke didn't know where to go (?), he was also hungry.
"Elder Mo, don't go to your place. Come to my house. God's Grace Day is over, and I was just saying that I wanted to eat something light to change my taste. These days, I've been eating roast chicken and bacon. It's making people sick."
Since he said so, the old men and women were even happier.
Originally, since they were willing to become enemies with the Demon King, they had to win over Xu Jun because they wanted to have a good relationship with him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the friendship of "the same trench"?
As for going to Xu Jun's house to eat, it was just a matter of convenience. Although the Shaman and Shaman of the Beastmen couldn't be compared to humans, they were still a big local force. How could they lack food?
Even the food they ate was better than humans. It had to be known that many of the humans' cows, sheep, and pigs were imported from the Beastmen's Prairie!
Human farmers also raised cows, sheep, and pigs, but they were all raised to eat meat, and the quality was very low.
The Beastmen's Prairie had strong and sturdy black-horned cattle, delicious rock sheep, and spotted pigs that had special effects, especially for men!
These were all new breeds that the Beastmen had caught wild and domesticated generation after generation. They were much better than human livestock!
Normal people might not understand the difference, but Xu Jun was a brave man who had traveled extensively. How could he not know?
He should be the most clear about the importance of food to a fighter. Thinking of this, the Beastmen Shaman were filled with pride!
It was said that Xu Jun had also signed up for the upcoming Combat Tournament … Right now, to the various races, having one more ally was definitely better than having one less. Should they use their long-term relationship with him as a meat supplier to win over this alliance?
The Red Fox Shaman's eyes darted around. It looked like he had a bellyful of evil tricks. The people present understood him better and knew that he didn't have any bad intentions, so they were too lazy to say anything.
The Red Fox was considered weak among the Beastmen. They were small Beastmen and weren't very good at fighting, but they were very smart and very good at business and diplomacy. They barely managed to maintain the status of their race, but in every Battle Conference, their ranking was very awkward, and they were always ridiculed by other races.
The Red Fox Shaman also had a shrewd look. His eyes were sharp, and he seemed to have a bellyful of evil tricks. However, this person had always done well in business and cooperation. Other races couldn't find any mistakes.
Now, he had already thought of the Red Fox's Highfoot Rabbit. Eating it over a long period of time could increase a person's strength. There was no fighter who didn't want their strength to increase. How much was Xu Jun willing to pay?
Of course, he would definitely find a win-win situation in the middle. This way, Xu Jun would know that he was a good businessman …
Thinking of this, he followed the crowd all the way to Xu Jun's house. The Beastmen's noses were sharp, and they could smell a strange spicy fragrance through the door. It went straight into their noses.
High-grade meat and high-grade seasonings … This …
Xu Jun knocked on the door. Rance and Steamed Bun bounced and bumped into him. "You're back!
Let's eat hotpot today! "
"Dad!
Uncle Butler said he bought two Golden Wool Sheep and a cage of Highfoot Rabbits. Let's eat! "
The Beastmen Shaman, who were thinking of buying rare meat for Xu Jun … swallowed their saliva and fell silent.
