"Huh?!"
With the hazy memory of the black donkey recounting, Mi Ye was stunned the moment Mi Ye's voice fell.
What's going on?
He must have hallucinated; how could an ancient demon from tens of thousands of years ago reappear now?
This was simply impossible.
Countless ages had doomed the demise of many ancient demons.
He didn't believe any kind of demon could be passed down with the purest bloodline. Even if there were, the bloodline's power would diminish with each generation, fading from the first generation to mediocrity.
"It really exists."
Sensing the disbelief in the black donkey's eyes, Mi Ye pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and spread her hands.
"Look further down, and you'll see."
The frowning black donkey remained silent, his eyes fixed on the paused projection inside the tent.
Mi Ye glanced at Chen Yu.
Seeing Chen Yu nod slightly, she continued playing the recording she had risked her life to capture in Lan Feng City.
The paused image gradually changed.
Perhaps due to entering the inner city, Mi Ye's movements in the projection were no longer as swift as at the beginning. Her cautious steps in the projection revealed the extreme care she had taken at the time.
"We're almost there."
Amidst the tense atmosphere, Mi Ye suddenly spoke with a sharp expression.
Instantly, everyone became focused, wap.kanshuwu.net.
The projected image suddenly turned somber, a gloom like the sun disappearing from the sky. When the image tilted up slightly, a colossal monster, whose head was nowhere to be seen, stood before Mi Ye.
Its massive body rumbled forward.
Houses in the city turned into ruins under its immense frame.
Demons around scrambled to flee upon its appearance.
Those who were slow were directly crushed, leaving no trace of their bones after its foot was lifted.
The colossal monster didn't stop.
In its eyes, perhaps the one it had crushed was no more than a small ant.
The projected Mi Ye held her breath.
Chen Yu and the others outside were no different. No one could remain composed upon witnessing this scene.
Several minutes passed—
Mi Ye's recording showed a total of seven colossal monsters emerging. After they left, Mi Ye's gasps could be heard from the projection. The image then moved forward, freezing on a footprint.
"Look at this footprint," Mi Ye said, pointing at the footprint in the projection and speaking in a deep voice.
"My judgment of the colossal monster is based on this footprint. It's simply too enormous to gauge its height. However, from the footprint, it's possible to roughly estimate that this colossal monster's height is at least..."
"Above 500 meters."
Before Mi Ye could finish, the black donkey murmured in disbelief.
This was absolutely impossible!
He could not believe he would see a cave monster over 500 meters tall here.
Even in ancient times, it was rarely encountered.
Lan Feng City actually had seven of them; this was an impossible feat.
"How did they do it?"
The frowning black donkey began pacing restlessly in the tent.
"This completely defies common sense."
"From the ancient divine-demonic era until now, approximately twenty million years have passed."
"What does twenty million years mean?"
"The entire cave could have undergone a complete reshuffle."
"Yet..."
"The demons in Lan Feng City have undergone regression, do you think this is reasonable?"
The black donkey, having fused with a divine soul, knew the implausibility of it all.
The more he understood the internal details,
the less he could believe the authenticity of this scene.
"Whether it's reasonable or not, I truly saw this scene," Mi Ye said softly. "These giants should still be within Lan Feng City. If there's an opportunity, General Black Donkey might be able to see them with his own eyes."
"Something is not right."
The black donkey, with narrowed eyes, stared at the paused projection.
"I don't believe these demons have regressed, and judging by their strength, regression is impossible. If I'm not mistaken, the reason those demons didn't discover City Lord Mi Ye is because City Lord Mi Ye was wearing a magic cloak."
"Yes."
"Although the magic cloak has a disguise effect, and its effect can be enhanced when used by someone of higher cultivation, it's ultimately just a Black Iron grade special equipment," the black donkey stated seriously. "While demons are not adept at counter-reconnaissance, if they were in a regressed state, like the 500-meter cave monster just now, its lowest realm would be above True Saint. At that level of strength, City Lord Mi Ye's disguise would be meaningless. It didn't detect City Lord Mi Ye, which means... they haven't regressed, nor have they gained corresponding strength. They are merely that size, and calling their strength even Half-Saint would be an overstatement."
"Could it be that they disdained to?"
Mi Mu blinked and said, "Perhaps they discovered Sister Mi Ye, but in their eyes, Sister Mi Ye was too weak to pique their interest."
"There is indeed this possibility."
The black donkey did not refute this. "However, I prefer to believe the former: they simply lack the strength. Otherwise, if they had truly regressed, let alone Feng Qi City... even the entire Ta Tu Kingdom and the entire human empire would face a catastrophic disaster."
"Uh..."
Mi Mu blinked and remained silent for a long time. She didn't quite understand the threat of regression. In her small mind, these demons were simply large enough, serving as good sandbags.
"If it's not regression..."
Suddenly, Chen Yu, who had been silent, frowned and spoke.
"Then how did they become like this?"
"Catalysis!" the black donkey replied almost instantly. "City Lord Mi Ye's injury was caused by the Witch Gu tribe. If there are Witch Gu tribes in Lan Feng City, there's a high probability of catalytic nutrients for demons existing within. However, to catalyze demons to this extent, the level of these nutrients must be quite terrifying. City Lord Mi Ye, did you capture anything unusual..."
"Yes."
Mi Ye pursed her lips and smiled.
"If I hadn't truly captured some secrets, how could I have been chased by so many demons? The greatest gain from this trip to Lan Feng City is this."
As she spoke, the image in the projection shifted abruptly.
Inside a dark red abyss, the entire abyss resembled a palace branded with blood.
Several blood pools bubbled with blood.
Countless demons prostrated themselves before the blood pools, greedily slurping the blood within.
And the source of this blood...
was a heart as large as a castle, suspended in the air, beating powerfully.
Upon seeing this scene, the black donkey swallowed.
"King... King-level!"
"This is actually the heart of a King-level demon!"
