Chapter 1176: Demon Tribe
The demon country is a huge union formed in the form of tribes, similar to the alliance of the Righteous Alliance, which is relatively loose.
Lin Chen entered the demon country and traveled at the fastest speed, and soon left the border battlefield.
Behind the battlefield is a long and huge supply line, with countless warships shuttling back and forth, bringing supplies and soldiers.
The demon race is actually not much different from the human race. Taking advantage of the war, it is not uncommon to eliminate dissidents, and it is even more blatant. Death is the eternal theme of the battlefield, but not the purpose.
The struggle for interests is the root of this war!
After crossing the front line, Lin Chen came to the normal demon country.
"In front is the Shuixin tribe, the totem is a heart built of water, and the scale is not small," Feiya acted as a guide for Lin Chen.
The demon race has many bloodlines, but not all demons of the same bloodline will live together. For example, the rabbit demons are distributed all over the demon country. So many communities, separated by hundreds of millions of miles, can never be gathered together.
Just like the human race, people with the same surname are everywhere, and not all live together.
The formation of a tribe is that the demon tribes in a region unite due to some kind of opportunity, and worship a totem together as a bond connecting different bloodlines, so as to form a community of interests, that is, an alliance.
This model is actually the model of the entire demon country. The tribe is the small demon country, the totem is the demon god tribe as a symbol, and the elders of the tribe are the elders council.
Of course, for those top bloodlines, the tribe is not needed. For example, the top bloodlines of the dragon clan are gathered in the Dragon God Island, and the top bloodlines of the snake clan are gathered in the Ten Thousand Snakes Ancestral Cave.
They are all tribes of the same bloodline and will not live together with other demon tribes.
The tribe is ultimately just a helpless choice for the middle and lower demon tribes, otherwise they would not use totems to dilute the inherent exclusive characteristics of the bloodline and unite with each other.
However, there are also benefits to doing this. Just like the incense gods of the human race, this totem enjoys sacrifices, gradually develops divinity, and begins to feed back the people who believe in the totem.
There may be various factors in the formation of tribes at the beginning, which is a compromise that cannot be ignored. Now, most tribes can no longer do without totems.
Some tribes have continued to grow because of totems and have become a force that cannot be underestimated. Even some giant settlements have begun to threaten the status of top bloodlines.
In recent years, those giant tribes have been seeking more seats in the Council of Elders, and even proposed to add a seat for a great elder.
Before that, the seat of the great elder was controlled by the strongest bloodline of the seven demon tribes. The "miscellaneous army" of the tribe had no qualifications to seek the seat of the great elder. Even among the elder seats, most of them were pure blood seats, and the tribe did not have much say.
However, there are more and more such voices now, and it has become a strong force. With the power of totems, the tribe is getting stronger and stronger.
Lin Chen also knows about totems. Speaking of which, today's experience is somewhat similar to when he killed Qin Yue'er in Longyun. He also faced the demon tribe.
Remember, the demon tribe in the eyes of Longqi Yao was from the spine tribe. A tribe with a totem in the shape of a spine is not very strong.
All the things that happened at that time, whether to the human race or the demon race, now look like minor fights.
But Zi Ning's existence was completely unexpected, and now it seems very strange.
Zi Ning is a demon god!
According to top-secret intelligence, in order to catch up with the pace of the human race and the demon race, the demon race summoned the demon god list, and the demon race sacrificed the last drop of demon god blood. In other words, once the existing demon gods did not leave offspring, the demon race would completely lose the demon god race in the future.
It was not normal for such a bloodline to appear in the spine tribe, and it was even more strange to enter the Longqi demon eye later.
According to Bai Shu's previous statement, there will be several demon gods in each generation, and there will be a very direct competitive relationship between them. The one who survives in the end is the final king, that is, the supreme of the demon race.
Zi Ning's experience should be the result of a failed competition.
As for why she was not killed, it is unknown.
Lin Chen did not rush directly to the core of the demon country. He entered the demon tribe and became familiar with the life of the demon tribe.
On the one hand, now is the time when the demon country is most vigilant, and there is no point in rushing over.
On the other hand, it is not enough to rely solely on the power of the black dragon. The concealment will be discovered. At that time, the characteristics of the black dragon will become an anchor point, allowing people to directly understand his identity.
So Lin Chen needs to disguise himself and observe the living habits of the monsters to avoid mistakes in details.
He walked slowly in the Shuixin tribe and strolled around casually. The scale of this tribe is actually very large, comparable to the giant city of the human race, but this is due to the characteristics of the monsters.
Most of the powerful monsters will choose to transform into human form. After all, this does not affect their strength. On the contrary, it can be much more convenient to move, and it is also conducive to the combination of different races.
Imagine if a toad falls in love with a swan. If they both keep their original form and do not transform, then the next step will obviously not be able to proceed.
However, some monsters are very stubborn and believe that the form left by their ancestors is the best form. Turning into a human race is a sign of weakness, so they are only willing to keep their original form and the combination is only within the tribe.
This is normal among the demon race, so most of the tribes, and even the gathering places of the top bloodlines, will be divided into two parts. One part is similar to human cities, and the other part is full of huge nests to accommodate the huge bodies of the demon race.
Of course, the larger the tribe is and the stronger it is, the more mainstream the human-shaped monsters will be.
In this Shuixin tribe, more than 70% of the people are in human form, which is considered a normal level.
"What do you think, young master?" Feiya asked.
This is Lin Chen's first time in the Monster Kingdom. The local customs and monsters are a novel experience. Overall, they are more casual, more open, and more barbaric than humans.
"Completely exotic, but although the habits are different, the functions are similar," said Lin Chen.
There are also various shops and places here, which are generally similar to humans.
However, every household in this family has a totem pole, which makes Lin Chen very concerned.
Totems are spread all over almost every corner of this tribe. The people of the tribe seem to worship the totems at any time, very pious.
Beside him, a boss finished his business, stroked the totem pole and muttered something, really thanking the totem for its blessing. On the corner of the street, there are monsters dying
