Chapter 531 Sneaking Out

Chapter 137 Primordial Demon Realm

When Mingmei opened her eyes, it was already pitch black outside. She got out of bed and called out a few times in the empty house before a demon servant came in from outside and told her that her parents were in the front hall of the City Lord's mansion attending a banquet.

Mingmei didn't react much to this. Aside from nodding to show that she knew, she didn't say she wanted to go.

Seeing that her eyelids were drooping and she looked listless, the servant whispered to ask Mingmei if she wanted something to eat. Mingmei seemed to react after a beat and nodded.

She really looked like she was too hungry to think straight.

So the servant retreated, saying that she would bring her something to eat later, and told Mingmei to wait in the room for a while.

However, as soon as the servant left, Mingmei's expression immediately changed, clearly showing that she had been acting just now.

"I'm going to the Primordial Demon Realm!"

Suddenly saying this, even Gui Gui couldn't help but ask Mingmei what the Primordial Demon Realm was and why she suddenly wanted to go there.

To this, Mingmei simply explained that the Primordial Demon Realm was a secret realm where the demon race was born. As for why she suddenly wanted to go there, it had to be said that when Mingmei fell asleep just now, the memories she had once forgotten in the depths of her consciousness gradually became clear.

She remembered the demon race, everything her mother had done after coming with her, and the pill that Aunt Gu Qin had given her.

A pill to reshape her bones and body. Because the main materials in this pill all came from the Primordial Demon Realm, Mingmei naturally remembered things about the Primordial Demon Realm.

Only the Primordial Demon Realm could continuously nurture the demon race.

Last time, when Lu Xiaoyao came back injured, she was still saying that those insectoid evil creatures seemed to be constantly transferring from somewhere to there.

Coupled with the fact that her parents had mentioned that the demon race might be related to this, the effects of the Primordial Demon Realm would naturally attract people's attention.

"If that bug secretly modifies some data in the game, there might really be a Zerg nest in there."

In addition to Mingmei's natural association, she also remembered Gu Qin, whom she had seen during the day.

If it was set according to the other party's true strength, if the Zerg were here, they would definitely not make any moves under Gu Qin's nose.

Being able to create a continuous stream of insectoid evil creatures with demonic energy, Mingmei could immediately think of the Primordial Demon Realm.

"Time is of the essence, Gui Gui, can you help me scout the surrounding situation now?"

Mingmei still remembered that Gui Gui seemed to have become a mascot in this round, unable to help with anything.

[I can...]

As soon as Gui Gui agreed, Mingmei slipped out. Seeing the familiar terrain and finally the familiar inquiries and price negotiations, Gui Gui was silent for a long time.

After a while, Mingmei only heard Gui Gui suddenly ask, [You know the way, what do you want me to scout?]

"Scout if there's anyone nearby."

Mingmei carefully walked on the road leading to the Primordial Demon Realm. She knew the road well, but she was worried about being discovered on the way. If she was discovered, a little kid going to the Primordial Demon Realm would be brought back directly.

Thinking like this, Mingmei's eyes suddenly focused, and with a flash, she avoided being discovered by a man in a black robe who suddenly appeared from the other side.

Fortunately, she hadn't completely relied on Gui Gui, or she would have really been sent home.

[Gui Gui, who is that?] Seeing that the man's whereabouts were suspicious, Mingmei immediately asked Gui Gui.

[If I didn't make a mistake in my scouting just now, it should be Lu Gui.]

[Eh?]

Hearing Gui Gui say it was Lu Gui, Mingmei remembered that Lu Gui had come here during the day. At that time, he seemed to be with the demon cultivator team.

"Isn't he supposed to be attending the banquet at this time?" Mingmei muttered softly, staring at Lu Gui in the distance. If Lu Gui heard this, he would definitely say, "Yeah, didn't you hear that Lu Xiaoyao was caught?"

Don't get me wrong, Lu Gui didn't intend to save anyone.

He just felt that Qing Mian's words at the banquet had already stirred things up, and seeing the Extreme North City Lord's reaction, it seemed like he was going to investigate thoroughly. When that time came, Lu Xiaoyao would definitely be brought up for questioning.

Lu Gui had long discovered Julian's precautions against him, and this time he came here with Lou Jia without saying a word. It was hard for him not to guess that if Lu Xiaoyao and Julian had a moment of weakness and dragged him out while confessing, then he would have to say, "Thank you very much!"

If he was dragged out, Lou Jia would definitely be implicated, and then everyone would be wiped out together...

So, as Mingmei walked, she discovered another problem—Lu Gui's direction was actually the same as hers!

"This guy..." Mingmei watched Lu Gui pass through the Primordial Demon Realm without any reaction and was extremely surprised, "How was he not discovered?"

If she hadn't swallowed the demon race's treasure from Gu Qin during the day, she wouldn't dare to come here now. The Primordial Demon Realm was not only inaccessible to non-demon race members, but forcibly breaking in would trigger the treasures within the realm to expel and kill the intruder.

As a result, he entered easily.

"Isn't he a human?"

Mingmei was a little confused and followed him in. After entering, Mingmei suddenly realized that she had lost sight of him when she was hesitating just now.

"You've got to be kidding me?"

Mingmei looked at the scene in front of her, which was like night, but she could see everything clearly. The air was also filled with a light purple mist, which made her not know which way to go for a moment.

[Host, there are life forms moving near your front.]

Fortunately, Gui Gui pointed out Lu Gui's direction of movement to Mingmei in time. She ran towards Lu Gui's direction with her short legs, but the more Mingmei ran, the more she felt that the road under her feet seemed to be getting harder and harder to walk.

It wasn't that the road was rugged, but the smooth ground seemed to be softening?

"Oh my god..."

After realizing this, Mingmei did not retreat, but ran directly to the side of the road. The environment in the Primordial Demon Realm was more like a forest with strangely shaped plants.

And there were many roads in this forest, and the end of these roads was the core of the Primordial Demon Realm, a natural incubator for demon embryos, a hot spring in the center of the forest.

But now Mingmei realized that the road under her feet was wrong, so she hurriedly jumped away, directly from the road to the side of a tree trunk. With her inexplicably strong night vision, she only saw that the road she had just been running on was actually rhythmically moving up and down.

"What is this thing?" Mingmei asked Gui Gui, wondering and not stopping her steps, directly following the edge of the road.

[I'm not sure either. It looks like some kind of living thing?]

"What else could it be?" Mingmei also knew that this thing should be some kind of living thing. The key was what exactly was it?

"No way?"

Just as she was about to say that she didn't know what it was, just as she was about to say that even low-level demons in the demon race weren't this disgusting, Mingmei suddenly realized that there was another possibility.

[Zerg.] Gui Gui said first, looking at this soft, wide, and long thing that couldn't be seen in its entirety, Gui Gui silently said, [Doesn't it look like an enlarged Pseudo-Mother?]
