Survival: The Evolution of an Evil God Starting from a Spider

Page 263

Seeing the somewhat embarrassed look on Yuebai's face, Liu Ziming realized that his guess was correct. If she weren't like that, she definitely wouldn't be so shy.

"Holy crap, this guy only drank a tiny bit of my blood, yet he can clearly sense my inner feelings. That's terrifying! If I ever have any ulterior motives in the future, and this guy finds out, it could really be troublesome?"

Liu Ziming felt uneasy; after all, having one's thoughts controlled by others was not a pleasant experience.

"Ahem, although space has been displaced and slightly shifted, this is definitely not a coincidence. It's probably related to their killing of the ninth-tier magical beast, the Four-Unlikes?"

Seeing the serious expression on Liu Ziming's face, Yuebai dared not underestimate him. He didn't know why the space had become displaced; this phenomenon had never occurred before, even after many trips. "Your guess might be correct. I've traveled back and forth many times before and never noticed this phenomenon. This time it seems particularly strange. Could it be related to my father?"

Liu Zimeng was completely taken aback that Yuebai would actually think of his father, the Demon King, the city lord of the Demon King's City. He couldn't believe that the Demon King of the Demon King's City was so terrifyingly powerful. "How could you have such a strange idea? Isn't he your father? Fatherly love is as precious as a mountain. Your thinking seems a bit illogical."

Because Liu Ziming couldn't understand why Yuebai would have such a strange idea, he directly warned her not to think that way.

In fact, Yuebai didn't want to imagine it this way, but his father was really nothing to him, he only gave him life, and everything else was earned by himself.

"Heh, fatherly love is as precious as a mountain, that's probably for people like you. I never experienced fatherly love growing up. I only know that my mother was taken away by my uncle from the Elf Clan. My father probably had other motives for marrying my mother back then."

Looking at the bitter expression on Yuebai's face, Liu Zimeng couldn't imagine how much suffering this girl was enduring. She had no one to confide in, which must have been a painful experience.

“Miss Yuebai, I didn’t want to bring this up with you. But since you mentioned that your father has no affection for you and that your mother had other reasons for marrying you, why would you have such strange thoughts?”

Since Yuebai had started talking to him, he probably wanted to tell him the reason. So Liu Ziming felt he needed to know. After all, he was in the Monster Forest, and if things went wrong, he might lose his life here. He didn't want that to happen, so he did this.

The expression on Yuebai's face was particularly solemn. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth before speaking again.

"Actually, my father probably married my mother out of love, but in order to protect his throne, he was oppressed by my grandfather and had no choice but to imprison my mother. That's why my uncle tied her up and took her back. Otherwise, I wouldn't be all alone."

Yuebai really didn't want to mention that past event, after all, he was just guessing. Because his father seemed to value his throne so much, he chose to abandon his mother, which made him hostile towards his father since childhood.

"My God, how can a man do this? He would abandon the woman he loves most for his own throne. He's worse than an animal!" Liu Ziming, perhaps influenced by Yuebai, blurted out his anger without any thought.

But he didn't expect that when he finished speaking, Yuebai looked at him as if he were a fool, and her expression was particularly strange.

Liu Ziming knew that what he said might be a bit inappropriate, but there was nothing he could do. He had already said it offhand, so how could he take it back? It was like water that had been spilled.

"Ahem, Miss Yuebai, that's not what I meant. I just disagree with your father's actions. A man should be responsible. If it were me, I would never have done that."

However, when Liu Ziming finished speaking, Yuebai looked at him with a different expression, as if she was particularly appreciative. Liu Ziming really couldn't imagine how the girl's thoughts could change so quickly. Just a moment ago she looked worried, but now she looked like this.

"Hehe, family ties are probably less than paper to me, just like people often say, family ties are as thin as paper, Long?" Yuebai looked into the distance with a pained expression, seemingly talking to herself, lost in thought.

Hearing Yuebai say such a thing, Liu Ziming felt a pang of sadness. Family ties were something unattainable for him, yet Yuebai, as the daughter of the Demon King's City Lord and a princess of the Elf race, had such a tragic fate. He truly couldn't imagine whether such a life was what he wanted.

“Miss Moon White, I know why you have such thoughts. Since the Demon Beast Forest is under your father's control, these things may indeed be related to him. Perhaps our actions have already made him aware of them, otherwise, the space wouldn't be so easily displaced?”

Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, Yuebai nodded heavily without hesitation. The reason he told Liu Ziming about this was entirely because he trusted him and felt that he was capable and responsible. "Everyone be careful, the space we are in has experienced a slight displacement. This is not a good thing. Let's get out of here quickly, before the spatial displacement is fully formed. This may be our last chance?"

Since Liu Ziming knew that the space had been displaced and posed a potential danger to everyone, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately shouted for everyone to prepare and leave immediately. If the space equipment was fully formed, things would get complicated.

Everyone looked puzzled when they heard Liu Ziming shouting about some kind of spatial distortion.

Chapter 372 Escaping is also a skill

"The space itself hasn't changed at all, so why is this guy issuing such a warning? Has he lost his mind?"

The old Flame Dragon was extremely excited because he had killed the 9th-tier magical beast, the Qilin. As for the spatial distortion, he didn't care about it at all.

"Little guy, don't be so suspicious all the time. I don't think I need to do that. We can already work together to kill a ninth-tier magical beast. What are we afraid of?"

"Venerable Flame Dragon, I truly cannot fathom how cautious Liu Ziming always seems. Doesn't he get nervous? What's the point? Rather than living a life of constant anxiety, he'd rather do whatever he wants—that's the life he desires." "Old man, stop fooling around. Since the Spider Boss issued such a warning, he must have sensed something. If we don't follow his instructions, something truly dangerous might happen."

Although the giant ape elder was filled with many doubts, he still followed Liu Ziming's advice and led everyone to rush forward quickly. After all, no one wanted to lose their lives here in vain. "Everyone, follow behind me, 203. Be careful. We must escape this calamity before the spatial teleportation, otherwise, I'm afraid we really won't have a chance."

Because Liu Zimeng could clearly feel that after she issued the warning, the speed of the spatial displacement actually changed, and the speed was getting faster and faster, as if it knew what they were about to do? "My goodness, could this guy be envious that we obtained the demon core of a ninth-tier magical beast? Why is he in such a hurry? Is the meat of that ninth-tier magical beast not tasty?"

Even the cat angels and the others thought the same way. Although they had obtained the demon core of a 9th-tier magical beast, they hadn't tasted the meat of that huge, unrecognizable creature yet, and they felt it was a bit of a pity.

"Don't let your guard down, everyone. There has indeed been a spatial distortion, which may be related to the Demon King of the Demon King's City. This guy might be plotting something sinister."

Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, everyone was a little unsettled. How did this guy know? Because they had no idea that Liu Ziming possessed the ability to sense things in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have discovered it so early.

"How did you know? We didn't feel anything at all. Was there a spatial distortion? Have you been reading too many time-travel novels?"

Slime Mirror, true to its nature, was sometimes irritable and sometimes calm. At this moment, its inner doubts surfaced, and it glared at Liu Ziming, shouting loudly. If Liu Ziming didn't give it a reasonable explanation, it would likely never stop. "This matter isn't as simple as you think. I can tell you clearly that I possess the ability to sense things in advance. I can foresee any danger or anything that hasn't happened yet."

Because Liu Ziming didn't have time to explain much, he simply revealed his ability to sense things in advance. However, he never expected that when he finished speaking, everyone's eyes would be filled with surprise, as if they didn't understand at all.

"Holy crap, that stinky spider actually has the ability to sense things in advance. It can predict anything that hasn't happened yet. That's terrifying!"

"My goodness! This little guy actually has the ability to sense things in advance. No wonder Big Head can give everyone a warning every time danger occurs?"

"My goodness, the ability to sense things in advance! That's incredible! This guy's luck is truly phenomenal; he gets all the good things. Why haven't I had any?" Everyone was filled with mixed emotions. Liu Ziming's ability to sense things in advance was a good thing for them, but they all looked incredibly envious. "Liu Ziming, tell me the truth, is your ability to sense things in advance related to the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race?"

Because Yuebai couldn't imagine how Liu Ziming had acquired the ability to sense things in advance, he seemed particularly puzzled. However, he guessed that it might be closely related to the Seven-Colored Wonderful Journey, the clan flower of the Elf race.

The others thought the same thing, because Liu Ziming hadn't acquired any significant resources before; he had simply merged completely with the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race. Perhaps that was the reason? "Now is not the time to explain these things; we must escape immediately. Escaping is also a skill."

Liu Ziming's face was particularly serious because he didn't have time to explain much. If they didn't escape quickly, their chances would be slim. "What the hell? What kind of twisted logic is this? Running away is a skill? Anyone with legs can run!"

The cat angel seemed to run incredibly fast. He really couldn't imagine that running away counted as a skill; if that was the case, then his ability was simply heaven-defying.

Art?"

Although these people were running forward incessantly behind Liu Ziming, they were completely unaware of their surroundings. But since Liu Ziming had said that, they had no reason not to believe him.

After running for about thirty minutes, Liu Ziming suddenly stopped, his expression relaxing, as if they had escaped from the distorted space. "Everyone can rest for a while now. This place is relatively safe now. We've escaped from the distorted space?"

Everyone was just focused on escaping for their lives, because they genuinely couldn't understand why Liu Ziming would make such a choice. But they had no other option but to follow him and run for their lives. "You're not just making things up, are you? We didn't encounter any danger while we were running away, and we didn't notice any spatial distortion you mentioned," the slime in the slime realm asked Liu Ziming, panting heavily and supporting himself on his thighs, with some doubt.

Chapter 373 They actually found the entrance.

Seeing everyone exhausted and panting, Liu Ziming thought for a moment before speaking directly.

"The space we just mentioned has indeed shifted, and I can say with certainty that it's closely related to the Demon King of the Demon King's Castle. If we don't escape from there, we'll probably be torn to shreds by this distorted space!" Seeing Liu Ziming's serious expression, everyone felt uneasy. They couldn't sense any distorted space; they were only hearing Liu Ziming's description, but it sounded terrifying. "You stinky spider, it can't be as scary as you make it out to be. What if we're crushed to dust by this distorted space?" Actually, Slime Mirror was just being stubborn. If they were truly torn to shreds by the distorted space, how would he even have a chance to speak?

"Don't make a fuss. Let's rest here for a while. We need to maintain our energy and stay in peak condition to ensure our safety in the Monster Forest."

Liu Ziming had no time to argue with the Slime Mirror and the others. Although he felt the environment here was safe, it wasn't absolutely safe. After all, this was the Monster Forest, and any danger could strike at any moment. "Liu Ziming, this place feels somewhat familiar. It seems like the entrance to the Elf territory?"

Because Liu Ziming wasn't paying attention to what Yuebai was doing, he just wanted everyone to rest for a while. But he hadn't expected Yuebai to be constantly observing the surrounding scenery, as if he were very familiar with the place. "Holy crap, what did you say? This place is actually the entrance to the elven territory! How did you sense it?"

Liu Ziming really couldn't imagine that the scene in front of him looked so special. How could this be the entrance to the Elf race's territory?

But Yuebai actually said that. Liu Ziming carefully sensed it, and sure enough, he discovered something different.

"Haha, it seems we're really lucky. This place is indeed an entrance, but I can't guarantee whether it leads to the elven settlement."

When everyone heard Liu Ziming say that, they all looked extremely excited, because this guy had never done anything without being sure of himself. This must be the entrance to the Elf race's territory, otherwise he wouldn't be acting like this.

"Although this is the entrance to the elven territory, are we going to enter now?"

The giant ape elder looked particularly worried. Although they had luckily discovered the entrance to the elven settlement, there was no guarantee that entering rashly would be dangerous. So he directly warned them.

"Don't worry, senior. We absolutely cannot intervene rashly. If we enter without the permission of the elves, we might be completely annihilated. Although we have awakened our bloodline, the elves are not to be underestimated."

Liu Ziming carefully sensed it. Although he had the ability to sense things in advance, he still couldn't imagine whether the hole in front of him was a blessing or a curse for them.

"Don't worry, you have completely merged with the enchanting journey of the Elf race's clan flower, Cai. If you lead the way, there shouldn't be any great danger."

Because this might really be the entrance to the Elf race's territory, Yuebai seemed particularly excited. Once he entered the Elf race's territory, he would have the chance to see his mother, a dream he had cherished for many years.

In fact, Liu Ziming knew what Yuebai was thinking, but he would never act rashly. He had to ensure everyone's safety before taking any action.

"Don't worry, Miss Yuebai. Since I've agreed to let you meet your mother, it's just a matter of time. Let's make a plan after we've thought it through, okay?"

Seeing the pleading look on Liu Ziming's face, Yue Lai had no choice but to say nothing more. This entrance was both familiar and unfamiliar to him; he had been searching for it for a long time. How could he not be anxious?

But since Liu Ziming said that, Yuebai couldn't say anything more. Although he looked very frustrated, he had finally found his hope and could only force himself to endure it.

Ask for flowers.

"Boss Spider, are we really planning to enter the elven territory? There might be dangerous or higher-level magical beasts there. How can we deal with them?"

The giant ape elder looked particularly worried. Although the elven settlement was very tempting to him, he didn't want to lose his life there.

The old Flame Dragon seemed rather domineering. Now that he had discovered the Elf race's settlement, how could he just give up so easily?

 … 0

In truth, Liu Ziming wasn't sure if he should enter the elven territory. Although he had luckily found the entrance, he had to ensure everyone's safety; that was his bottom line. "Ahem, Miss Yuebai, I have a question to ask you, if it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to answer it?"

The reason Liu Ziming hesitated to enter the elven territory was because he had a plan. Entering rashly might cause too much danger, so he needed to think things through before deciding whether to go in. "Liu Ziming, ask me anything. I'll tell you everything I know without holding back."

Even Yuebai couldn't understand what bizarre questions Liu Ziming would ask her. He already knew all her secrets; what was there left for her to hide? "You stinky spider, have you developed feelings for Yuebai? If so, I definitely won't let you get away with this!"

Just as Yuebai and Liu Ziming were about to have a word, the slime, to their utter surprise, went completely berserk, shouting loudly and uncontrollably. "Little girl, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this? Is it because we found this entrance?"

The giant ape elder was somewhat puzzled as to why the Slime Mirror had suddenly gone berserk and seemed out of control.

Chapter 374 The Powerful Demon King

Liu Ziming was also confused. Although Slime Mirror had a fiery temper and seemed particularly arrogant, he shouldn't be acting like this. "What's wrong with you? Has your mind been affected?"

Although Liu Ziming wasn't sure what had happened to the Slime Mirror, he could tell from the guy's eyes that his mind seemed completely out of his control, which was why he asked that question. "Haha, I didn't expect you to actually find out. Looks like I underestimated your abilities?"

As Liu Ziming asked the question, a terrifying voice suddenly rang out, speaking with an extremely arrogant tone, completely disregarding everyone. "Little girl, little girl, what's wrong with you?"

As that terrifying sound "203" echoed in everyone's ears, the Slime Mirror instantly collapsed to the ground, seemingly falling into a deep sleep, giving everyone a bad feeling.

The giant ape elder helped the slime mirror up, placing his hand on the slime's philtrum in an attempt to bring him back to his senses, but the box had no effect whatsoever. "Haha, you lot are truly foolish! How can you so easily dispel the magic cast by the Demon King?"

No one expected that they would actually encounter the Demon King, the lord of the Demon King's City. His voice had already revealed his identity, and everyone felt a sense of unease. "How did you end up here? Did you discover that I was preparing to enter the land of the elves to find my mother?"

The Moonlit Maiden realized the voice was all too familiar; it belonged to the Demon King of the Demon King's City, the one who had given him life, and also his father. Yet, he had never called him "father." "You traitor! Bringing outsiders into the Demon Beast Forest at will! Looks like you have no reason to exist anymore?"

As the Demon King of the Demon King's Castle once again issued a threatening statement, no one could have imagined that this guy would actually abandon his own daughter, showing no regard for even the slightest kinship; it was truly cruel.

However, they also knew that this demon king's strength was extremely terrifying, beyond their ability to contend with. If this guy really appeared here, it would be a huge problem for them. "Heh, since you're here, why don't you show yourself? Or is it just an illusion?"

Seeing Liu Ziming's calm expression, everyone's hearts were filled with unease. How could this guy think it was a phantom? The voice was clearly right next to them. Could it be that Liu Ziming's brain had also been affected, or had it gone mad?

"Haha, it seems I really underestimated your abilities. You actually discovered that this is my illusion. But even an illusion is not something you can fight against."

Without hesitation, the Demon King of the Demon King's Castle unleashed his phantom before everyone, towering tens of meters tall, appearing exceptionally imposing and terrifying. "My goodness, that's incredibly tall, dozens of meters high! If we try to fight him head-on, we'll probably be instantly crushed into mincemeat!"

Even the awakened Flame Dragon elder seemed particularly frightened, staring at the Demon King of the Demon King's City without daring to utter a single word, his body trembling uncontrollably.

If even the phantom of the Demon King in the Demon King's Castle is this terrifying, what would happen if the real Demon King appeared here?

"Why are you going to such lengths to prevent us from entering the elven territory or having any contact with the elves? Do you have some ulterior motive?"

Liu Ziming had no fear of the Demon King's phantom, because he knew that the phantom was just a wisp of the Demon King's will. Although the image was quite large, its strength was less than a fraction of his own, which was why he dared to speak to him so arrogantly.

After the Demon King's phantom appeared, his eyes were fixed on Liu Ziming. He found this young man quite interesting; his audacity was astounding, showing no fear whatsoever upon seeing him. A strange feeling stirred within him. "You, you, you actually merged with the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race! How did you do that? How did you manage to do it? Tell me now, or I'll cripple you right now!"

No one expected that the Demon King of the Demon King's City would spot Liu Ziming at first glance. This guy had already merged with the Seven-Colored Wonderful Journey, the flower of the Elf Clan, and seemed quite wary of him, constantly asking him loudly...

Even Yuebai's expression flickered, for his father had truly given up on him. But seeing the slight apprehension he felt towards Liu Ziming, a glimmer of hope rose within him. "Are you so afraid of the Elf race's flower, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey? Merging with him is just a small matter, nothing to boast about?"
