Killing God - Chapter 446
Chapter 446 Blood Fang Camp
Ten thousand years was an extremely long time. The humans in the Primordial Chaos Realm had almost forgotten about Demon race. Apart from some incomplete records hidden in ancient books, no one could truly understand this race.
However, Shen Shi was different. He was different from all his fellow humans because he had lived with the real Demon race for three years. He lived, ate, slept, fought, died, and even everything else. In those three years, he was surrounded by the real Demon race, so he knew much more than anyone else.
The demon race had faith, and this faith was extremely firm. It had been passed down from ancient times until now and had never changed.
As long as he was a member of Demon race, regardless of which tribe he came from, he would respect and firmly believe in three things. First, the legendary Giant God Pangu. Every Demon race firmly believed that he was the direct descendant of this god, and his bloodline was noble and supreme; Secondly, it was the Demon Emperor’s bloodline, especially the Demon Emperor’s ancestor, the Heavenly Demon The legendary Heavenly Yao Emperor was the only son of Pangu, the Giant God. He was the founder of the Hongmeng Hundred Clans and also the ancestor of Demon race. He was the ancestor worshiped by countless Demon race. Third and last was the totem faith of each of Demon race’s respective tribes. They firmly believed that the ancient ancestors and heroes were attached to the tribal totem, which was the source of everyone’s strength.
Every demon race had only these three types of worship from the bottom of their hearts: Giant Gods, Ancestors, and Totems. Apart from that, the demons did not fear or believe in anything else. This was a thought that had been dissolved deep within the bloodline of all demons. It was incomparably firm, and it remained unchanged for millions of years.
However, the scene in front of him clearly deviated from normal. Seeing the Iron Monkey and Mountain Wolf praying to the Dragon God so sincerely and respectfully, Shen Shi even began to suspect for the first time whether this Bloodfang Tribe was truly a demon race.
No real Demon race had ever done this. They had betrayed the ancient beliefs of their race, abandoned the power of their ancestors and totems, and instead went to believe in an evil god that came from nowhere. Alright, Shen Shi still didn’t know the origin of the Dragon God, but what he knew was that for the real Demon race, it was an evil god.
The Iron Monkey and Mountain Wolf did not pray for long, but their expressions were filled with reverence. Their movements were very careful and strict, and they obviously respected the Dragon God very much. After finishing every detail of their movements seriously, the two of them stood up and saw a strange expression on Shen Shi’s face. They were standing at the side and silently looking at them.
The mountain wolf frowned. There seemed to be some displeasure in it. It seemed that it was a very disrespectful act for Shen Shi not to kneel down and pray with them for the blessings of the Dragon God. On the other hand, Iron Monkey looked calmer and smiled. He said to Shen Shi, “Isn’t this your first time coming to our place?”
Shen Shi nodded.
Iron Monkey smiled and didn’t say anything else. He casually pointed to the depths of the wilderness and said, “Our tribe is right there. Let’s go.”
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked forward, The mountain wolf immediately followed, Shen Shi silently glanced at the vast wilderness in front of him. The sky was vast and slightly gray. The main land showed a dark gray lustre. There were few trees that stood green. Most of them were large and small stones that could be seen everywhere. Occasionally, some withered yellow weeds would emerge. They stubbornly lived in this desolate place. He suddenly remembered that these two Demon race had mentioned before that this place was called the Giant Dragon Wilderness. Perhaps this name had something to do with the evil god they believed in?
Little Hei let out a deep snort as he walked past Shen Shi’s feet. He turned around and looked at him, seemingly curious as to why this fellow didn’t leave and stood motionless. Shen Shi silently lowered his head and looked at it. Then, he nodded and took a deep breath. “Come on, Little Hei, let’s go take a look at this Blood Fang Tribe. What exactly is going on?” He said.

The location of the Bloodfang Tribe was roughly half a day’s walk away from the edge of the desert and wilderness. Along the way, Shen Shi chatted intentionally with the Iron Monkey Mountain Wolf and gradually learned more about the Bloodfang Tribe from their mouths.
According to Iron Monkey, the Bloodfang Tribe should be the only tribe in the dragon wilderness. This was because they had never seen outsiders other than their own tribe for thousands of years. Shen Shi was the first tribe that they had encountered.
However, Shen Shi didn’t really believe Iron Monkey’s words. At the very least, in his eyes, this dragon wilderness was clearly extremely large. Judging from the range of activity of the Iron Monkey and Mountain Wolf, it was clear that the Bloodfang Tribe’s sphere of influence was at most within five to six days’ distance. Compared to this vast area of the dragon wilderness, it was definitely only a small place.
However, this time, the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm seemed to be somewhat different from the previous records. Everything revealed a bit strange and strange. Therefore, Shen Shi did not dare to completely believe his own judgement. Instead, he was just perfunctory. Afterwards, during the chat, he learned more about the extent to which this demon race had lost their ancient beliefs and their current beliefs had already deviated.
The Bloodfang Tribe did not know that there was an earth-shattering giant god, Pangu. They felt that this world was created by the omnipotent Dragon God. The Bloodfang Tribe also did not believe in the Demon Emperor’s bloodline, nor did they believe in the legendary Heavenly Demon Emperor. They believed that the Dragon God had created the Bloodfang Tribe and reproduced it to this day. The only thing that made Shen Shi feel that they were still similar to Demon race was that he knew that the Bloodfang Tribe still had an ancient tribal totem.
However, very quickly, when the Iron Monkey showed him its slightly proud expression, Shen Shi was speechless to see that the totem pattern showed a giant dragon dancing its claws and teeth.
In the Demon Realm, the totem of every Demon race tribe was related to their ancestors and the origin of their bloodlines. For example, the totem of the Old Bai monkey tribe was a monkey, the totem of the stone pig was a stone-armored pig, and the totem of the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon tribe was a giant snake. Just looking at the dragon pattern on the totem in front of him, Shen Shi smiled and nodded. However, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart. He thought to himself, “Are you monkeys and wolves still from the dragon race?”
What the hell!
Half a day later, at sunrise, Shen Shi followed Tie Hou and Shan Lang to the Blood Fang Tribe’s camp.
At first glance, this was a tribal camp built on a flat piece of land in the wilderness. Perhaps because there were few trees on this wasteland, most of the houses in this camp were made of small and large stones. Moreover, it didn’t look very large. It should be a tribal camp with only a few hundred people.
Although the Bloodfang Tribe was not particularly large, it was still very lively. As soon as they approached the camp, they could see people walking around. They could hear some children playing and chasing after them. They sounded very happy and carefree.
Very quickly, the figures of the Iron Monkey and Mountain Wolf were discovered in the tribe ahead. Someone immediately cheered. Then, someone welcomed them and helped them take over all kinds of food and meat in their hands. Among them, there were quite a few children from Demon race who ran to their side and kept making noise. It seemed that the atmosphere in the Bloodfang Tribe was very intimate and gentle.
Soon after, everyone saw Shen Shi standing behind the Iron Monkey and Mountain Wolf.
There seemed to be a moment of silence in the arena. Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. Some of the Demon race children were even more shocked. However, it was possible that because Shen Shi wasn’t that fierce-looking, the children of the Blood Fang Tribe didn’t have much fear. Instead, they kept looking curiously. One or two of them even leaned over and looked at Shen Shi. Then, they looked at the Little Hei pig at his feet.
“Uncle Tie Hou, can this pig be eaten?” After a while, a Demon race child seemed to drool as he pointed at Little Hei and asked Iron Monkey.
“…” Shen Shi was speechless. However, Little Hei seemed to be a little angry. He snorted at the other side twice, revealing his fangs and making a bit of a ferocious scare.
Tie Hou laughed heartily and slapped the greedy little ghost away. Then, he turned to Shen Shi and smiled, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to see our Blood Fang Clan Chief.”
Shen Shi nodded and followed behind him, entering the camp of the Blood Fang Tribe.
As he went deeper and deeper, he saw more and more members of the Bloodfang Tribe. Most of them noticed him as an outsider with some astonishment, and the astonishment in Shen Shi’s heart also continued unabated. Along the way, He saw many members of the Blood Fang Tribe, Among them, there were old men and few women, but the most important thing was that he actually saw a large number of mixed-blood Demon race among these people. People with two or three demonic beast marks on their bodies were so common that they could be seen everywhere. They even accounted for more than half of the Blood Fang Clansmen he had seen.
The mixed-blooded demons that were despised in the real demon world and would be killed almost immediately at birth were actually so common here. Looking at the atmosphere of the entire tribe, it seemed that everyone was used to this. They did not have any isolated and discriminatory behaviors. They were all just like them.
Shen Shi suddenly felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
He didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt that this seemingly gentle and lively Monster Tribe was emitting a strange but sad aura behind those glossy exteriors. That feeling was hard to describe, and even he couldn’t say it himself. If he had to say it reluctantly, perhaps it was because he had suddenly seen so many mixed-blooded demons that he wasn’t quite used to it.
In front of him, Iron Monkey led him to the northernmost part of Blood Fang Camp. There was a large house that looked much bigger than the surrounding stone houses, and it was the only one with two floors. However, from the looks of it, there were also traces of mottled stones outside the stone house. It seemed that it had been quite some years.
Tie Hou pointed upstairs and smiled, “The Patriarch is usually there. I’ll bring you to him.”
Shen Shi nodded and followed him to the stone house. It was only two steps before he suddenly saw a large stone carved into a dragon head above the door of the first floor of the stone house. It looked like it was the image of the Dragon God worshipped by the Blood Fang Tribe.
As Shen Shi looked at the dragon-headed statue, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. Could it be that this mixed bloodline and lost faith demon tribe was really bewitched and corrupted by this dragon-shaped evil god?
