I don't know how long I sank, but I was finally slammed to the ground, and my butt hurt terribly.
I stood up, cursing and rubbing my backside, only to realize that at the very bottom of this abyss was the Earth's core, where sporadic bursts of lava and flames were rising.
However, the place where my other foot was standing was somewhat bouncy and soft, and the wall next to me was even a little cold. Under the light of the flames and lava, I was surprised to find a row of black seashells that were as dazzling as obsidian.
I never expected to find a seashell here. I bent down with great interest and finally managed to pull the seashell buried in the obsidian out of the ground.
When I first picked it up and wanted to play with it and study it...
Then a long, sharp gasp was heard, and the ground beneath his feet began to tremble, causing his body to stagger and sway.
Then came another angry, cursing voice from above: "Where did this brat come from, daring to pluck my scales!"
I slowly raised my head and looked up, only to find that it was an incredibly thick, black, behemoth with eerie scarlet eyes staring at me with a malevolent gaze, as if it were eyeing its prey.
The wall that had felt so cold was actually part of the monster's enormous body, and what I was pulling off was a scale from its body. Blood was still gushing from the bare spot I had just removed.
I jumped up in surprise and exclaimed.
I, Ahua, am afraid of nothing in my life except pythons, especially this kind of big, black, and cold python! Yes, it's a big, ugly, black python.
Although I was trembling inside, I didn't lose face on the surface. I pretended to be calm and hid the scales in my sleeves, put my hands behind my back, and looked at the evil creature in front of me with a nonchalant air. I took the initiative and said, "It was you, you python monster, who disguised yourself as my two friends and lured me here?"
To my surprise, after hearing my words, the python monster became extremely agitated and coiled its enormous body around me several times, angrily saying, "Hmph! I am the ancient Yinglong, the lord of the Demon Realm. How dare you, a lowly creature, call me a great python?"
Could he be Ye Lixiao, the legendary ancient demon god and lord of all demons? Ye Chen's father?
But no matter what ancient demon god Yinglong or the lord of all demons he is, he is now nothing more than a wisp of demon soul in this desolate land of demons.
Look at him, he doesn't even have dragon horns. He couldn't even resist when I plucked his dragon scales. He looks so pathetic. He must have had his dragon horns and spiritual power plucked in his previous life. After coming to this Demon Wasteland, his demonic soul is still being punished by the ice, fire, and lightning here every day. Although he looks terrifying, he no longer has the demeanor of the former Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the ancient Yinglong.
What am I, a living soul with abundant spiritual power, afraid of?
As it turned out, the python monster was quite arrogant. Ignoring my nonsense, it flicked its long tail, and a delicate jade gourd appeared high in the sky, its mouth casting a golden light towards me.
Wow, I never expected that this old devil would have a treasure on him?
However, just as I realized what was happening and thought something was wrong, I was already being sucked into his magic gourd by the golden light.
Inside this gourd, I indeed stumbled upon my dear uncle and a group of Dream Spirits I had never seen before, all imprisoned here. I thought my uncle was also worried about my safety and had followed me all the way here. When I saw him, I was so moved that I burst into tears.
The man explained that he was also trying to fulfill a deal he made with the Dream Demon when he entered the Dream Realm.
Oops! I was just being presumptuous.
Could it be that this Dream Demon God's deals with all those made after arriving in the Dream Realm are all about sending people to this desolate, inescapable land of demons, just to help the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons outside leave this place?
It should be known that this Desolate Land of Demons is a place where the souls of demons are sealed after they die. There is no way out; in fact, all the souls that have made deals with the Dream Demon God and been sent to this Desolate Land of Demons since ten thousand years ago have never left.
I never expected that Wen Heng and the others would also be tricked into coming to this place by this Dream Demon God. I am quite indignant!
Speaking of Wen Heng, I just heard his voice too. I thought he was here, but after searching around, I couldn't find him.
But the uncle, with an embarrassed look on his face, said that it was true that the old demon lord disguised himself as him and Wen Heng to lure me, but he did fall into this abyss with Wen Heng. However, he abandoned the uncle and ran away on his own, disregarding the uncle's safety, and even though the uncle had shared fine wine with him before. What an ungrateful fellow.
Faced with the uncle's complaints, I could only smile bitterly. Now that he has found another partner, he would even abandon my life and death, let alone the uncle. Perhaps indifference and ruthlessness are the true signs of gentleness.
Never mind, just thinking about him brings a strange mix of emotions and a bittersweet feeling to my heart.
Getting back to the point, Ye Chen said that Ye Ling'er and I are the key to getting everyone out of this place. I don't know what he and that Dream Demon God are up to. If I can't get back to the Dream Demon Flower within four days, all their plans will fall through.
But this Lord of Ten Thousand Demons has kept me and the others locked up for three days and has no intention of letting us out. Some of the Dream Spirits are even starting to turn into disgusting Gu worms because they can't withstand the true energy in the gourd.
If we don't leave this place, I'm afraid the uncle and I might become parasites that cause one of us to forget ourselves.
After calming down and analyzing it carefully, I felt that some things didn't make sense and were contradictory. Could it be that this old devil didn't want to leave this place?
