Chapter 1807: Chapter 1808: Scale Demon Clan

After Hu Xiao left the cave, Su Chengyu had Chang Li summon the tribal elder over.

Before long, the elder swiftly arrived at the cave, completely unaware of why Su Chengyu had called him here so late at night.

Su Chengyu bluntly mentioned that the tribe’s granary might be attacked soon, and the elder’s face instantly turned extremely grave.

"What’s the rush? No need for any major actions. If something really happens, I’ll handle it. Calling you here is not to prepare you, but for another matter."

Having interacted with these tribal people for quite some time, this elder was one of the first to try and communicate with Su Chengyu. By now, he understood Su Chengyu’s intentions quite well, and they were past the phase of guessing each other’s thoughts.

"Then, sir, what do you mean?"

The expressed meaning was still somewhat unclear, but Su Chengyu could distinctly hear the respect in the elder’s words.

"I want you to prepare in advance and let the tribe know that the ones who will help repel the demon clan are not me."

"Not you? Then..."

The elder seemed perplexed by Su Chengyu’s words, his face full of confusion.

"It’s the Vermilion Bird."

Su Chengyu’s gaze fell on the totem symbol to the side, full of deep implications.

The next day.

The daily life of the tribe remained unchanged.

Since Su Chengyu’s arrival, the demon clan’s control over this place had almost vanished.

They no longer came to patrol, nor did they require the humans of the tribe to do anything specific.

The ordinary people of the tribe found it a bit strange, but unaware of Su Chengyu’s presence, they could only attribute the protection to the divine bird.

After all, recently the tribe’s biggest project was the complete renovation of the totem sign.

The formerly indistinct totem style could now be recognized by any tribal member as a bird pattern.

Of course, this was due to Su Chengyu’s covert indications, wanting the people to develop a sense of reverence and at least have a basic impression of the object of their faith.

The fact that this impression might differ greatly from reality, or not even be the same thing at all, was actually irrelevant.

A large portion of the tribe’s women had already begun forming a team for tool manufacturing. Starting with the manufacture of engraving knives, Su Chengyu was leading them in creating a new generation of tools for the tribe.

Of course, this was not Su Chengyu’s ultimate goal.

This matter was merely to make the tribal people understand the importance of tool-making.

Once they realized this, he intended to elevate the entire tribe’s technology exponentially, allowing them to leap from the agricultural era directly into the next era.

The reasons for this nearly miraculous leap would later also be attributed to the Vermilion Bird Totem by Su Chengyu.

This was one of Su Chengyu’s plans to enhance the tribe’s faith in the Vermilion Bird Totem.

"Sir."

Chang Li suddenly spoke, waking Su Chengyu, who was observing the tribe’s development.

Su Chengyu’s gaze conveniently moved to the location of the granary, only to see that it was still deserted, showing no sign of any disturbance.

But soon, Su Chengyu realized what had caught Chang Li’s attention. Instead of a direct attack, the demon clan had concealed their presence, entering directly from underground to avoid detection.

This method, in terms of large-scale destruction, was indeed inferior to a frontal assault with demonic power, but it excelled in swiftness and cunning. If Su Chengyu’s reaction was even slightly delayed, even if he managed to suppress it later, the newly risen state of the tribe would have suffered considerable damage.

"Hu Xiao, you useless fool, couldn’t you even sense this?"

Su Chengyu snorted coldly and, as he looked at the demons lurking underground, began to release his Divine Sense.

He quickly locked onto a peculiar demon clan member clad in full armor underground.

The brown armor he wore seemed not to be a Magic Artifact, yet it had a defensive power that far exceeded ordinary ones. Based on Su Chengyu’s knowledge, this was likely related to the demon’s Innate Divine Ability.

With this armor’s protection, the demon clan was not only able to advance swiftly underground, but the shield formed by their demon qi was also formidable.

By Su Chengyu’s estimation, the ordinary Dragon Slayer Sword technique probably couldn’t break through the demon qi shield in one strike.

"Annoying matters."

Su Chengyu snorted coldly as he landed on the ground, then thrust the Dragon Slayer Sword directly into the earth. Following the earth veins, countless Sword Qi locked onto the demon clan’s team, rushing through the ground, creating visible cracks due to the Sword Qi surging beneath.

Bang!

Accompanied by a loud explosion, the demon clan’s team was forcibly driven from underground by Su Chengyu.

Together with Hu Xiao, three demon emperors were fully displayed in front of Su Chengyu.

"Which little demon dares to harm this emperor!"

The armored demon emperor, also in a part-human, part-beast form, seemed to be from the scale armor class like a pangolin, judging by his upper body and peculiar armor.

Su Chengyu raised the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand, pointing it at the other party, "Why doesn’t your Great King, so curious about whether we’re of the demon clan, come and find out for himself?"

The other party’s words seemed provocative, but Su Chengyu saw straight through them, realizing he was merely testing his depth.

His identity, his power, and his purpose for being here.

The big monster eyeing the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core hadn’t acted rashly, secretly plotting more, and the fellow in front of him was just the opening move from the opponent.

"Arrogant brat, do you think you’re worthy of making my Great King take action personally? Watch as I crush you to pieces!"

The scale demon clan’s member roared and charged headlong at Su Chengyu. Although Su Chengyu’s Sword Qi had forced him out from beneath earlier, the scale demon was evidently very confident in his defense, not believing Su Chengyu capable of dispatching him with a single strike.

And from Su Chengyu’s perspective, that assessment seemed somewhat accurate.

The opponent’s innate ability had shielded his vital points firmly.

Even though he was only a Seventh Grade Demon Emperor, not particularly high, Su Chengyu had few means that could ensure victory with a single blow, apart from the Demon-slaying Sword.

In this situation where Su Chengyu’s Power of the Heavenly Dao was in chaos, forcefully using the Demon-slaying Sword wasn’t merely a strain—it was outright courting death.

For Xu Nanzhi, Su Chengyu would courageously face death without hesitation, but dealing with this little demon, the opponent wasn’t worth it.

Boom!

With a thunderous explosion, Su Chengyu’s first move was using his most adept Thunder Technique.

He had progressed from an entry in Quanzhen Thunder Technique to mastery of the Qingcheng Thunder Technique.

Although Su Chengyu didn’t possess exceptionally high talent in Thunder Technique, his steady progress step by step had made him one of the top Thunder Technique masters of his time.

The domineering Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique abruptly halted the scale demon, and the next second a blue Bathing Fire Phoenix was coming at him face-up!
