Ram's Horn Town was the first Demon Clan town that Ling Yi and his companions encountered after entering the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.
It's called a town, but it looks more like a large village.
The buildings are simple wooden huts, most of which lack doors and windows, resembling wooden boxes.
Its only distinguishing feature is its size and thickness.
The height of each structure exceeds five meters, and the thickness of the wooden walls exceeds half a meter.
Some walls were covered with vines, while others were covered with mushrooms.
The Ram's Horn Town is inhabited by goat demons with curved horns who have not yet taken human form or whose human form is not yet fully formed.
The unformed sheep demon looks like a curly-horned sheep the size of a water buffalo, except that its eyes are red.
Most of them are sheep demons whose forms are not fully realized.
Some of them took on human hands and feet, some took on human heads and bodies, some were already able to walk upright, while others remained on all fours but had human heads on their heads.
It looks so out of place, um, it looks so weird.
The appearance of Ling Yi and his group immediately drew the attention of all the horned goat demons.
The three walked through Ram's Horn Town, curiously observing everything around them.
"Why are some eyes red and others golden?" Ling Yi asked.
"The red eyes prove that they have eaten their own kind. Golden eyes are the normal color of these horned goat demons. Once they have eaten their own kind, their eyes will turn red," Lin Lan explained.
"Didn't you notice that there's a clear dividing line between the red-eyed, curved-horned goat demon and the gold-eyed, curved-horned goat demon?"
Ling Yi nodded. "That's true. So, what's the difference between them?"
" Demonic Beast that have eaten their own kind become more violent and cruel. The more they eat, the more brutal they become, eventually losing their minds and turning into demons."
" The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom has virtually zero tolerance for demons; once a demon is discovered, it will be immediately eradicated."
"Look closely, those golden-eyed, curved-horned goat demons are confined to a certain area, surrounded by red-eyed, curved-horned goat demons."
Ling Yi suddenly realized and said, "Captive breeding?"
"That's right, the red-eyed, curved-horn goat demon is raising these golden-eyed, curved-horn goat demons in captivity."
Why would someone eat their own kind?
"Eating one's own kind can directly save time on cultivation, Plunder the other's cultivation, one can quickly become stronger."
Ling Yi gave Lin Lan a thumbs up. " Hall Master Lin, you really know a lot."
"I was once reincarnated in a small town in the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom. However, the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom was too vast. In that life, I lived for over three hundred years without ever leaving the Snake Venerable's domain."
Amazing! Big Shot has reincarnated 9998 times. Even if he's not omniscient or omnipotent, his knowledge reserves are unmatched.
"Why don't they attack us?" Jiang Hongchan asked.
"Because in the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, there are no humans. Anyone who appears in human form is either a demon guard at the very least, or above that, a demon lord or Demon King."
"Tell me in detail, I'd love to hear that," Ling Yi said to tour guide Lin.
"A demon guard governs a territory, roughly equivalent to the head of a province in the human world. A demon lord governs a territory and usually has several hundred demon guards under his command. Demon King is one of the Great Demon kings."
"Below the demon guards, there are also Demon General and Demon Soldier."
"Below the Demon Guards are Demon General? Shouldn't Demon General be a higher rank than Demon Guards?"
" The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom imitated the human system of dividing power and authority, but the imitation was neither fish nor fowl, so this is how it is," Lin Lan shrugged.
"In the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, only the Demon Guards and Demon Lords are appointed by the Demon King. Demon General and Demon Soldier are appointed by the Demon Guards themselves, and neither the Demon Lords nor the Demon King interfere."
As Lin Lan spoke, she suddenly raised her hand, and a blue Huoyan the size of a mung bean flew out of her hand, landing on the red-eyed, curved-horned goat demons in the blink of an eye.
"Meow..."
Amidst a series of bleating sheep, all the red-eyed sheep demons turned to ashes.
"Why did you suddenly make a move?" Ling Yi asked, taken aback.
"These red-eyed sheep demons will surely become monsters in the future, bringing calamity to the region."
Ling Yi shrugged, not dwelling on these things.
"I've lived in the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom for three hundred years. Do you know what has impressed me the most?"
Lin Lan paused for a moment and then said, "It's war."
" The Demon Clan Abomination humans, but they have always imitated them, including in warfare. They are constantly fighting each other for territory Plunder food."
Every year, a large number of the Demon Clan die in wars, and wars between the Demon Clan are more cruel and violent than wars between humans. The losing side usually suffers annihilation.
"Among the Demon Clan nestled in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, countless races have vanished forever into the long river of history over the past hundreds of thousands of years."
Jiang Hongchan asked, " The Demon Clan shouldn't lack cultivation resources, right? What's the point of war? Is it just to seize territory?"
The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is rich in Spiritual Power, so even without any cultivation resources, the cultivation speed of the Demon Clan is extremely fast.
Why must there be war?
"Because the Demon Clan race reproduces too quickly, especially some special groups, such as the insect race and the Rat Clan. Given time, they can sweep across the entire Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom with their sheer numbers."
"It is precisely because the Demon Clan reproduces so rapidly that what they are truly fighting for is not cultivation resources, but food."
Ling Yi expressed that he was greatly shocked, but upon reflection, he could understand it.
"Among the Great Demon kings, there was once an Insect King, a cockroach that transformed into a demon. The Insect King's greatest strength was her reproductive ability, the terrifying number of her swarms."
"A cockroach, transformed into a demon?" Ling Yi tried to imagine the image of a cockroach demon, but he couldn't quite picture it.
The Cockroach Demon King must have transformed into human form. I wonder what it looks like in Cockroach Demon King form.
"But it was precisely because of their rapid reproduction that they caused a cataclysmic insect plague, a disaster rarely seen in the world. In just a thousand years, the prosperous Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom was devoured by these insect demons."
"Vast areas have become dead zones, and countless Demon Clan have been wiped out."
"The Insect Wang Cheng the target of everyone's attacks and was ultimately destroyed by the combined forces of the other Great Demon Kings."
"Therefore, after the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, there was a rule that within any territory, the number of insect demons and rat demons, which Li Qiang, must not exceed one hundred. Once this number is exceeded, they will be Thunder annihilated."
" The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom two ironclad rules, this is one of them. The second ironclad rule, which applies to demons, strictly forbids cannibalism. Anyone found doing so will be killed without mercy."
Ling Yi asked, "Does this 'same kind' refer to the same race, or all Demon Clan?"
"The same ethnic group."
"So, cannibalism between different races won't turn them into demons?"
Lin Lan nodded.
Ling Yi clicked his tongue. This premise is a bit dark!
While people of the same race don't eat each other, wouldn't people from different races be able to eat each other to increase their strength?
Wocao, I can't think about it, the more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
Lin Lan seemed to see through Ling Yi's thoughts and said, "That's why I said earlier that the real purpose of the war between the Demon Clan is food."
" The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is a true place where the Strong Digestion. Through war, the fittest survive, and only the strongest remain."
"Take this Ram's Horn Town, for example. If it weren't for its location on the border, it would probably have been completely devoured by other Demon Clan long ago."
"Won't the Demon King stop this?"
"Of course they'll try to stop them, but they can't stop them at all. The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is too vast; their Great Demon kings simply can't keep an eye on it."
At this moment, a goat demon with curved horns that walks upright approached Ling Yi and the others.
Before Ling Yi could react, the horned goat demon knelt before Ling Yi and the other two. " Venerable One, Venerable One. Thank you for your help in saving us and eliminating this demon."
"Hehe, we are not your Venerable One, we are human beings," Ling Yi laughed.
"Ahem, Venerable One, please don't joke around. How could there possibly be human cultivators within the territory of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom?"
"You'll know if Perception carefully," Ling Yi said with a smile.
"Your subordinate dares not."
"Just Perception if I Perception you to, stop with the nonsense," Ling Yi sneered.
"Ah, yes!"
This horned goat demon is probably only at the Golden Core Stage stage and not very strong. It seems to be the leader of these horned goat demons.
A moment later, the horned goat demon frowned, looking at Ling Yi and the other two in disbelief, but then his expression brightened with joy, and he exclaimed, "Congratulations, Venerable One! Venerable One, Venerable One!"
Ling Yi was a little confused. What are you congratulating me for?
" The Venerable One's methods Xuan Miao; he will surely be able to use them to deceive the human Formation, cross the boundary, and successfully enter the human world."
Is that how you imagined it? This left Ling Yi completely bewildered.
Just as I was about to say something, I saw the trembling legs of the curved-horned goat demon.
Suddenly it dawned on me that this guy knew they were human; he was just making things up to survive.
Okay, you've got some brains.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Go about your business."
"Ah, yes!" the horned goat demon replied, then turned and ran away.
Ling Yi chuckled as he looked at the new entries on the data panel.
Do you think you can escape? Once you're on the list, you're just a tool, and you can't escape that fate no matter where you are.
"Let's stay here tonight. We'll head to the Ice Plains tomorrow. Once we cross the Ice Plains, there will be more towns for the demon Demon Clan." Ling Yi said as he walked into a wooden house.
The wooden hut was fully equipped with all sorts of tools.
There are tables, chairs, beds, pots, pans, and all sorts of utensils; if you didn't know better, you'd think this was a human dwelling!
It's just that many West City rather rough.
Ling Yi took out a forest mouse, ready to have it grilled.
This forest rat was captured by Ling Yi in the Stone City on the outskirts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Yes, that's the Stone City that Ling Yi and Lin Xue'er went to.
Speaking of Lin Xue'er Lin Xue'er, I wonder what happened to her, whether she has reached the Chaos Forbidden Land.
Just as they were thinking this, Ling Yi and the other two suddenly heard a faint cry for help.
"Someone's calling for help?" Ling Yi asked, startled.
The three of them released their Spiritual Sense almost simultaneously, and after a moment, they looked at each other.
"How did she end up here? And locked in a cage?" Jiang Hongchan, somewhat surprised.
"Her Yin-Yang Golden Core has been extracted; it seems her mission is complete."
"Who stole her Yin-Yang Golden Core? Was it someone from the Demon Clan?"
"Why think so much? Just ask him." Ling Yi said, and immediately unleashed three Spirit Sword.
"Go and bring Lin Xue'er here."
The three Spirit Sword touched their blades with extraordinary spiritual power, and then flew out of the wooden house.
