So they followed Song Jinnian's footsteps.
On the way, Gu Qingze focused his attention and looked around at this place he had never been to before.
The sky in the demon world was red, as if it had been stained with blood. Where the sun should have been, it was replaced by an open eyeball with bloodshot eyes.
The ground was pitch black, with all kinds of strange-shaped plants growing on it, twisting and stretching, revealing a strange beauty.
The air here is filled with a strong evil aura, which makes people feel depressed and uncomfortable.
Occasionally, in the distance, you can see some strange creatures flying through the air. Their appearances vary, some look like birds and beasts, and some look like ghosts.
Among the many flashy monsters, these few in human form seemed out of place.
Gu Qingze could clearly sense the desire in the eyes of the nearby monsters when they saw them, some of them even drooled on the ground...
So, those monsters came closer, ready to attack at any time, but they smelled the scent of their own kind and immediately lost interest.
"What the hell? It's obviously a monster, so why is it disguised as a human? Doesn't this ruin my fun? Pah!"
Because of his cultivation, he could hear even the smallest sound, including the muttering complaints of the monster.
Chu Lingxiao was also very curious. After all, like Qingze, it was his first time to come to this place.
But he couldn't show it, otherwise it would be too strange and incongruous for a monster to be curious about the monster world.
Although other monsters dare not act rashly because of the aura of this monster, it is always better to be cautious.
So he used his spiritual power to sense everything around him and observed Qingze at the same time.
When he discovered that Qingze was also using the same method to observe the demon world, he couldn't help but smile.
What is this? Telepathy? Or perhaps a lover's connection?
“We’re here! We’re here!”
Song Jinnian suddenly stopped and shouted excitedly.
"Where are we? Could this sign be your home?"
Gu Qingze looked around and saw nothing but a sign.
Moreover, the sign contained words that he could not understand, which should be unique to the demon race.
Chu Lingxiao was also a little confused. He looked at Song Jinnian and then at the sign.
Maybe this really is Song Jinnian's home! I asked Song Jinnian what kind of demon he was at the restaurant, but he didn't say clearly. Maybe he was an earthworm or some other insect...
So, was this sign meant to warn other monsters not to step into his home? Was Song Jinnian's home underground?
But if that's the case, how can they get in? Song Jinnian can transform into his original form and get in, but they...
Just when Chu Lingxiao's mind was opening up and his thoughts were wandering, he was interrupted by Song Jinnian.
"How could this be my home? I was trying to say we've arrived at the 'Monster Car Station'!"
"Excuse me, what is a 'Demon Car Station'?"
Adhering to the principle of asking if you don't understand, Gu Qingze spoke.
"Well... the 'Demon Car Station' is the main stop for the 'Demon Car'. We go up from here, pass... five stations, and then walk for half an hour to get to my house."
Song Jinnian thought for a while and explained.
Isn't this the same principle as a bus stop? Perhaps the "demon car" Song Jinnian mentioned is similar to a bus.
"Brother Jinnian, why don't you just fly with your sword..."
Before Chu Lingxiao could finish his words, Song Jinnian immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
"Shh! Don't ever say such things in the demon world, or people will see through your identity as a non-demon beast."
After making sure that Chu Lingxiao would not talk about this matter again, Song Jinnian slowly let go and explained in a low voice.
"Did you see that eyeball above the demon world?"
Chu Lingxiao and Gu Qingze nodded.
"That's the eyeball of our first generation Demon King. The first generation Demon King established a rule that no one, no matter who you are, can use non-special vehicles to travel in the Demon Realm. Doing so is considered unclean to the Demon King. If you violate this rule, you will be corroded and killed by the evil spirit of the Demon Realm."
After hearing Song Jinnian's explanation, they became even more confused.
"The eyeball of the first demon king?"
Gu Qingze repeatedly pondered the possible implications of this.
"Indeed, although the first generation demon king fell, before he died he stored all his demonic power in his right eyeball, hoping that even after his death, the demon world would maintain his rule."
Song Jinnian took the initiative to popularize science.
"What exactly does it mean by non-special vehicles?"
Chu Lingxiao looked at Song Jinnian and asked curiously.
"What if I use the Thousand Mile Escape Talisman, or the Teleportation Talisman?"
"Neither is possible. Otherwise, why would I walk for so long? In the demon world, there are only two travel options: one is walking, and the other is riding a demon car. Other ways are not allowed. No one can dictate this except the current demon king."
After Chu Lingxiao's proposal was rejected, he was not disappointed, but raised another question.
"Will everyone die if they are invaded by the evil spirits of the demon world? If so, then the demon beasts don't sound as free and unrestrained as described in the books."
"...Not all of them died. It's just that some of the weaker monsters couldn't withstand it and died. The other powerful monsters can still resist. At most, they will become possessed and their lives will be worse than death."
Song Jinnian said indifferently.
"What if a monster doesn't know this rule and breaks it by mistake?"
"Then we can only blame them for being unlucky. But don't worry, demonic beasts are instilled with this rule by their parents or the people around them when they are born. It's rare for unlucky ones to accidentally break it. Most of the time, it's young demons who are rebellious and challenge authority, or it's humans who know nothing about this place who break it."
After hearing Song Jinnian's explanation, Gu Qingze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling like he had survived a disaster...
If Song Jinnian hadn't reminded them, they would have used flying swords or other methods to speed up their search for the "Three Lives Flower"... They would have definitely been corrupted by evil spirits because of violating the rules.
"However, just because of a random rule made by the First Demon King, so many lives were lost. This is too..."
Gu Qingze felt relieved for a moment, but when he thought about the fate of other monsters and humans, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's the survival of the fittest, it's normal."
Song Jinnian didn't understand his emotions.
After Chu Lingxiao noticed it, he calmly moved closer to Qingze and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
