Chapter 137 Love, Freedom, Devotion

Xiao Wu was quite helpless. It was you who asked me to come here, and it was you who told me not to do this. Then why didn't you find a simple flower demon?

But it is undeniable that being able to serve the senior is also a rare opportunity. If anyone refuses, they can get some advice.

So Xiao Wu did not complain. She put away her previous attitude and honestly took Lu Pingxi and the others to the resting place.

After Lu Pingxi and the others left, the old mayor breathed a sigh of relief. A tree demon beside him asked: "The once-in-a-decade volcanic eruption is about to begin. If the senior is in charge, the situation in our town may be better."

The mayor sighed: "How much better can it be? This period of time every ten years is the most difficult time for our town. Fortunately, most of the people who come to the seventh floor are plant demons, so our situation is better."

The tree demon said: "This can be regarded as a gain and a loss. The spiritual veins here are occupied by us, so of course we have to bear these troubles."

The old mayor nodded: " That's right, there are gains and losses. When this volcanic event is over, I will resign from the position of mayor. At that time, you, Muzi, will be the new mayor. "

The Muzi tree demon was surprised and said, "Mayor, what qualifications do I have to be the mayor? Let the more experienced and qualified young demons in the town take the position!"

The old mayor said, "It would be great if they could be persuaded, but you know that in the fairy tower, every demon is concerned about becoming stronger. Not everyone is willing to stand up and work for our group. This kind of trouble will only delay the progress of cultivation."

The Muzi tree demon fell silent.

In the distance, Lu Pingxi, who used the modified sound transmission technique, heard their conversation. His sound transmission technique had been broken by him. It could not only achieve remote amplification, but also remote eavesdropping. Sure enough, human creativity is endless.

Hearing the conversation between the two tree demons, Lu Pingxi couldn't help but think of what the little flower demon had said to him.

The little flower demon once explained to him that the demon beasts in the fairy tower are all strong, so each demon tribe will only fight to become stronger, unless they reach a bottleneck, they will let their children inherit their hopes.

At that time, managers like the mayor will appear, but even so, many old demon beasts who have no hope will not become a manager.

Unlike human society, power is not easy to use here. No matter how powerful you are, as long as you meet a strong person who is stronger than you, you can only shrink your tail and become a demon, because it is too easy for the other party to take your life.

Therefore, most of the managers here are not managers for power. They really consider the entire tribe and are willing to sacrifice their time to become stronger to maintain the tribe.

So compared with human society, these tribe managers in the fairy tower are more selfless. Of course, the Lord of the Sixth Layer Mountain Range does not count. The reason why the Lord of the Mountain Range becomes a manager is essentially to become stronger, to sacrifice the entire tribe to make himself stronger.

By now, Lu Pingxi understood the explanation given by the little flower demon. It was obvious that the old mayor chose his successor because he was worried that there would be no successor. After all, to manage a town, it would definitely take a lot of time, and after spending this time, he would not be able to concentrate on his own practice.

The old mayor said to the Muzi tree demon: "Do you remember? You chose to follow me deliberately because you were not qualified. Like you, I was also a demon beast with poor qualifications. So for the sake of the tribe, we are willing to sacrifice our practice time."

The Muzi tree demon was silent. It knew that the old mayor was not only for the entire tribe, because the nature of the demon tribe is actually selfish.

The old mayor said: "But I also have selfish motives. Although power is not as good as strength, it is also a kind of power after all. After all, it can obtain a little more resources than ordinary monsters. Although my qualifications are not good, my children's qualifications are definitely better than mine, so I am called the mayor for my children."

Muzi tree demon nodded. Although it didn't want to admit it, it had already helplessly recognized the fact that it itself had no qualifications, so it could only place its hopes on the next generation, although it has not even found its other half yet.

The old mayor saw its thoughts: "Muzi, you don't have to be reserved. Only by becoming the mayor can you get married and have children. Otherwise, you can't even place your hopes on the next generation. In the final analysis, the essence of our monsters is still selfish. Dedicating oneself to the tribe is only for the next generation."

Muzi fell silent.

In the distance, the Green Bamboo monk seemed to be eavesdropping on the conversation between the two tree monsters with special skills. He asked Lu Pingxi: "It seems that the mayor has no ill will towards us. They are just talking about their own private affairs." This kind of thing has long been commonplace for the Green Bamboo monk. He can cultivate to the Golden Core stage, which means that his parents are bamboo monsters with great cultivation qualifications. He naturally inherited this talent, so he can achieve the Golden Core. He is different from the monsters of this level. His starting point is very high, but this starting point is also the result of his ancestors' efforts from generation to generation. Lu Pingxi said: "Don't let your guard down. Tonight, you keep watch and I will go out to investigate this town. There must be a reason why this town can stand near the big volcano for so many years." The Green Bamboo monk nodded. They don't care about other people's family affairs at all. They only care about their own safety.

So any demon who sees Lu Pingxi thinks he is a big demon, because Lu Pingxi's behavior pattern is too similar to that of the demons.

Lu Pingxi and his friends came to a big house, which was built with mud. Because plant-based demons become more and more like humans as their realm improves, there are all kinds of furniture nearby, but they are all large.

After the rose demon brought them here, she planned to prepare food, but was stopped by Lu Pingxi on the spot: "No need, we have our own food, you don't have to follow us, go and rest, we will call you if we need you."

Lu Pingxi acted like a typical demon, I don't believe you, do what you should do, and I will handle anything myself.

It's not right to say that demons are selfish, they should be free.

But the vocabulary of demons is not as rich as that of humans. They don't have words like "love", "freedom" and "dedication" that have only appeared in modern times.

Their understanding of love is "desire" and "selfishness", and their understanding of dedication is "loyalty" and "tribe instinct".

After everything was ready, Lu Pingxi planned to go out and investigate the surrounding situation. Being in an unfamiliar place, it was necessary to investigate the surrounding situation clearly.

However, at this moment, two streams of light, one golden and one red, suddenly flew over from the horizon. It seemed that a new Jindan stage spirit had come to visit this town.
