With a puzzled expression, the giant ape elder drew a blur and ran over, wanting to see what had happened.
The seven-colored deer ran behind, but was quickly overtaken by the giant ape elder, whose strength was undeniable. "I hope nothing too serious happens, or the entire safe zone will be completely ruined!" At this moment, Liu Ziming was extremely anxious, and his expression was particularly cold.
...0 Because he couldn't sense what was wrong with Yuebai, how he suddenly went crazy.
"Boss, you're finally back! Yuebai broke free from our grasp and we don't know where he's run off to right now."
Seeing the Flame Dragon Elder covered in wounds, Liu Ziming's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, making him appear extremely terrifying.
A powerful energy burst forth from his body in an instant, instilling a sense of deathly fear in everyone.
Because they had never witnessed their leader Liu Ziming's true strength before, this was the first time they had seen it. "My god, the boss's strength is truly unfathomable, this is too terrifying?"
They had no idea that their leader, Liu Ziming, had endured countless life-and-death trials, possessing extraordinary strength and inheriting the legacy of the Evil God Emperor—a level of power beyond their comprehension. "It seems these five guys didn't come here alone to die; they wanted to transfer energy to Yuebai. It's all my fault for being careless!" At this moment, Liu Ziming felt a deep sense of regret, because he could sense that Yuebai was hiding in a secluded spot.
Moreover, his face bore a bloodthirsty expression, making him appear ferocious and terrifying, no different from a horrifying demon king.
"Haha, all of you are going to die, no one will survive, no one can escape!"
Chapter 459 is a waste of effort
Despite Yuebai revealing his true, ferocious nature and absorbing the energy of five people, Liu Ziming didn't take him seriously at all. "Haha, since I took you in, I have ways to teach you a lesson. You can try me if you don't believe me?"
At this moment, Yuebai's body had swelled up to a height of several tens of feet, and it exuded a terrifying aura. Its body kept changing, and its various shapes looked extremely frightening.
He didn't take Liu Ziming's threat seriously at all, because he felt that he was now an invincible being.
"Haha, what a joke! My father meticulously planned all of this. If it weren't for you, how could so many accidents have happened?" Hearing Yuebai say this, Liu Ziming instantly understood that his accidental appearance as "250" had disrupted the Demon King's ambition to conquer the entire region.
However, it must be said that the terrifying demon king does indeed have the power to do so. If he succeeds, the entire region will be plunged into endless darkness.
"Haha, I am honored to be able to confront the cunning and treacherous Demon King in court. Moreover, that guy did not gain any advantage at all. He even thought of his daughter. It's really laughable." Liu Ziming said these words without any hesitation, because his energy had been accumulated to a certain level, and he was preparing to launch a fatal blow.
With a deafening boom, Liu Ziming unleashed his iron fist with incredible speed, like a blur, slamming it into Yue Bai's towering body. "I never expected the renowned Liu Ziming to be so unruly. It's truly laughable!"
Despite his enormous size, Yuebai moved incredibly fast and strangely dodged Liu Ziming's sudden attack, completely disregarding him.
Liu Ziming also found it strange. Although he hadn't used many techniques with his energy, this guy had suddenly dodged them all. He seemed quite puzzled as well. "This is just an appetizer for you. You'll see my real strength soon enough."
Although his surprise attack did not achieve the desired effect, Liu Ziming was not discouraged.
Because he believed in the age-old principle that good will always triumph over evil, and he was absolutely certain that dealing with Yuebai wouldn't be too difficult. "Haha, what a joke! My father's ambition to rule the entire region is unstoppable. The clan leader is doomed!" Yuebai was far too arrogant, and like his father, the Demon King, he was extremely ambitious and not so easy to deal with.
But he never dreamed that Liu Ziming's plan was to provoke his competitive spirit, causing him to unwittingly fall into her trap. "Heh, since you already know what I possess, how about you experience what modern firearms are like?"
Actually, the reason Liu Ziming said that was entirely to boost everyone's confidence. It wasn't some modern firearm, but rather explosives he had redeemed from the system.
Yuebai was completely taken aback when a dark, unremarkable object flew out of Liu Ziming's hand. It wasn't large, and it emitted a dazzling flame. He sensed a hint of danger. "What is this thing? Why does it smell like gunpowder?"
Liu Ziming's method of teaching was precise and extremely fast; he threw the gunpowder into Yuebai's mouth in an instant.
"Hehe, what exactly is this thing? You'll find out soon enough, it's a black watermelon! The explosive power is something you can't withstand."
Hearing Liu Ziming's unwavering confidence, Yuebai panicked a little, because he felt something inside him expanding continuously.
In just a few dozen seconds, Yuebai felt a scorching energy surge within his body, and with a deafening boom, his body was instantly blasted apart. "Holy crap, I didn't expect this black watermelon to be so powerful. At least dealing with Yuebai shouldn't be too much of a problem?"
Fortunately, Liu Ziming had prepared in advance, otherwise he would definitely have been affected by the explosive force of the black watermelon. "Hahahaha, didn't expect that, did you? Your black watermelon can't do anything to me at all?"
Liu Ziming never expected that the black explosives he threw into Yuebai's mouth wouldn't make him completely disappear; instead, he actually materialized again...
However, Liu Ziming didn't take this guy seriously at all. After all, Yuebai was a demon, and demons always have ways to persuade him. "Hehe, isn't this appetizer quite delicious? If you want to try some more, I can grant your request." Liu Ziming casually made a throwing motion, and Yuebai looked very scared.
Because he genuinely couldn't understand when Liu Ziming would throw out the black watermelon; that was no joke. "Heh, scared now? You shameless coward?"
Although Liu Ziming could clearly sense Yuebai's presence, the guy's figure was too ethereal, perhaps because he was hiding his black watermelon.
However, Liu Ziming still couldn't pinpoint Yue Bai's exact location. After all, absorbing the energy of five people was no joke. "Haha, you just wait, it won't be long before I tear you to shreds!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ziming had a hunch. He knew Yuebai couldn't withstand the black watermelon he'd just thrown; no wonder Yuebai's figure seemed so ethereal. "Haha, it seems you're all talk and no action. Why don't you stand in front of me and try?"
Yuebai had already suffered at Liu Ziming's hands once, and he didn't want to be the one to suffer a second time, so he seemed very cautious.
"Little guy, have you forgotten what you inherited? If you get entangled with this guy for too long, you won't gain much benefit." Just when Liu Ziming was at a loss with Yuebai, the voice of the Evil God Emperor suddenly came to mind again.
This instantly cleared Liu Ziming's mind considerably.
"That's right, I've already inherited the legacy of the Evil God Emperor, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Without hesitation, Liu Ziming pulled out the Evil God Emperor's first talisman from his pocket and tossed it aimlessly. "Aaaaaah! What did you do to me?"
Before Liu Ziming could figure it out, Yuebai fell silent.
Chapter 460 Requires Long-Term Planning
In reality, a duel between masters isn't as complicated as one might imagine; it often involves only a move or two, and the outcome is quickly decided. "Showing off such trivial skills is a complete waste of effort?"
Because he could no longer sense Yuebai's presence, Liu Ziming's heart finally calmed down a bit.
However, he also knew that Yuebai had indeed caused considerable damage to his small team. Those guys had their acupoints sealed by him, and who knew what would happen to them? "It seems I must never be careless in the future. If I am careless, this is the result. It's unbearable." Liu Ziming sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of regret for all his previous actions.
But he had no idea that all of this had little to do with him; it was all caused by that terrifying demon king.
"Thank goodness, you guys weren't seriously hurt, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
The eldest brother, Liu Zimo, returned to his room like the wind and found the guys lying on the bed unharmed, without any change. The expression on his face finally relaxed a little.
If anything really happens to these guys, Liu Ziming definitely won't forgive himself, since he was the one who caused all of this. "What exactly happened just now, boss? Has Yuebai gone mad?"
When the leader, Liu Ziming, used his formidable strength to wake these people from their slumber, the Flame Dragon Elder appeared quite peculiar, actually starting to show concern for the girl Yuebai.
Seeing the somewhat unhappy expression on Liu Ziming's face, Slime guessed that things might not be as simple as they seemed.
"You will never see that guy Yuebai again. He is the Demon King's daughter and he infiltrated our ranks with great cunning. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have suffered such harm today." Hearing their leader Liu Ziming say this, everyone's faces showed horror, because they simply couldn't believe that the kind-hearted Yuebai was actually a spy sent by the Demon King. How could that be?
But their leader, Liu Ziming, would never lie to them, not now, and certainly not in the future. "Boss, what exactly happened? Can you tell me in detail?"
The giant ape elder looked serious. He had noticed Yuebai's unusual behavior, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
The old Flame Dragon looked completely bewildered. Boss Liu Ziming had asked him to knock out Yuebai before. Could it be that the problem arose at that time?
"Hehe, do you remember those five people from our safe zone before? That was energy sent by the Demon King, and it was all absorbed by that guy Yuebai?" The leader, Liu Ziming, said something more and more shocking and terrifying than the last, making them feel incredulous.
Since they had never heard of or witnessed such a thing, how could they easily believe it?
"Boss, you can't be telling the truth, can you? Are you lying to us? Yuebai left us, so you made up this nonsense to deceive us?" The old Flame Dragon had a strange expression on his face because he still couldn't believe that Yuebai, the Demon King's daughter, was a spy sent by him.
The eldest brother, Liu Ziming, could only shake his head helplessly. If Yuebai had lived with these guys for a little longer, they probably wouldn't have believed him even more. "You guys remember before, right? I inherited the legacy of the Evil God Emperor. If it weren't for the Evil God Emperor, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to deal with that Yuebai guy." As Liu Ziming said this, he lifted up his clothes, revealing a bleeding wound.
Because he didn't want to say anything more, these things were perhaps the best proof, better than a thousand words he could say.
"My God, it seems this is all real, this is terrifying!"
"I never imagined Yuebai would be a spy. It seems I really underestimated his abilities." "Holy crap, this guy almost got me killed. Looks like I'll have to be more careful from now on."
Everyone's hearts were filled with turmoil at this moment, because everything in front of them seemed so unreal, yet it was also real.
They couldn't afford to doubt it even a little; the fact that their leader, Liu Ziming, was bleeding profusely was the best proof. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get some things. The boss is bleeding, didn't you see?"
The Slime Mirror was the first to react, roaring incessantly. The wounds on Liu Ziming's body seemed to mirror his own, causing him a profound and intense pain.
Hearing Slime Shizuka's loud roar, the Seven-Colored Deer finally reacted and hurriedly ran back to her room to find some things to treat her wounds. "You always take on too much by yourself. Have you forgotten that we're a group?"
While carefully tending to Liu Ziming's wounds, the Slime Mirror kept complaining, like a wronged wife, feeling incredibly distressed.
In fact, Liu Ziming knew what he was really thinking, but now was not the time for sentimentality. He knew that he had a long road ahead and danger lurked everywhere.
"Hehe, everyone remember this, this is the best lesson. Never easily believe what you hear or even what you see in the future, because it may not be true." Hearing what their leader Liu Ziming said, everyone felt that he was right, because they had to think things through carefully.
After all, their ideas were too bizarre, and they felt safe after escaping from the Monster Forest.
However, the eldest brother, Liu Ziming, had established a so-called safe zone, which they didn't quite understand.
Looking back now, it seems rather ridiculous and extremely naive.
"Boss, we know what to do from now on. Everything must be planned carefully. Without your orders, we will never easily step out of the safe zone."
As the giant ape elder spoke, his eyes scanned everyone intently, as if issuing an order. He was the first to strike if anyone dared to object. "Don't worry, boss, we'll definitely listen to you from now on, because we know you're the only one who truly cares about everyone," the cat angel said, looking particularly embarrassed as she saw her boss, Liu Ziming, directly express her true feelings.
Chapter 461 The Demon King's Spying
Liu Ziming had used up too much energy to wake everyone up, and his body was now extremely weak. He definitely needed to rest for a while. "Boss, you should rest well. Don't worry, we'll take care of the safe zone. There won't be any problems."
Seeing their eldest brother, Liu Ziming, gradually weakening, the giant ape elder was truly reluctant to let him go. If their eldest brother were to collapse like this, they really wouldn't have any other options.
"Hehe, don't worry. That treacherous and cunning demon king won't be making any big moves for the time being. Besides, that girl Yuebai has disappeared without a trace, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
The old Flame Dragon also wore a somewhat embarrassed expression. After all, he had previously been quite fond of that girl, Yuebai, and now he felt a sting of embarrassment at being proven wrong. His expression was truly indescribable. "Then I'll have to trouble everyone. I need to recuperate for a while, otherwise my energy and stamina won't recover."
Although Liu Ziming inherited everything from the Evil God Emperor, it doesn't mean he's invincible. He's still a mortal and needs time to recover.
Actually, everyone knows that the reason their leader, Liu Ziming, is working so hard is entirely for everyone's safety. If other problems arise in the future, they certainly won't act like this. "Come on, let me help you back to your room. Get some rest. As long as you listen to me, you'll recover quickly."
At this moment, the slime Jing was like an obedient little wife, staying by Liu Ziming's side, no longer showing the strong control it had shown before.
After all, Liu Ziming is too weak right now and really needs someone to take care of him, so the Slime Mirror directly took on that role, and he absolutely wouldn't give anyone else a chance. "Hehe, then you've really had to go through a lot, but this is really a bit inconvenient. If I recover a little better on my own, you won't have to go through all this trouble." Hearing Liu Ziming say this, the Slime Mirror's expression instantly turned very dissatisfied, and he almost snapped but forcibly held back.
If Liu Ziming hadn't expended so much energy and stamina, he definitely would have exploded and wouldn't have given him any face. "Don't worry, if you're willing, I'd be willing to take care of you for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing what this slime guy said, Liu Ziming's expression was incredibly exaggerated. Was this a confession? And in front of him and everyone else, this was just too bizarre!
But seeing that the Slime Mirror guy had no reaction on his face, the others really didn't know what to say, especially since the boss, Liu Ziming, hadn't said anything either.
"Ahem, that's all for the future. Right now, I need to fully recover my strength and energy. If the Demon King tries to spy on us again, things will really get complicated." In fact, Liu Ziming's worries were not unfounded. The treacherous Demon King would not give up so easily; that was certain and beyond question.
The others had also guessed these things, which is why they told their leader, Liu Zimu, to rest and recuperate. They needed to ensure that he could recover to his peak condition so that they could deal with this treacherous and cunning demon king.
"I never expected this! This guy Liu Ziming is so difficult to deal with. My carefully planned scheme was still discovered by him. It seems I really underestimated his abilities?"
If it weren't for the fact that he had been injured by Liu Ziming before, this Demon King would probably have gone straight to Liu Ziming and settled accounts with him, after all, Yuebai was his own daughter.
However, Liu Ziming never dreamed that although Yuebai had been defeated by him, he had not completely disappeared; he had only weakened considerably.
"How could you be so careless, child? Although you absorbed the energy I sent out, you were also a bit too hasty. Otherwise, you wouldn't have failed so quickly." Hearing his father, the Demon King, constantly blaming him, Yue Bai's expression remained unchanged, as if he should be the one to bear all of this.
He even had a moment of regret. If he hadn't been so hasty and exposed so many suspicious points, his plan would have succeeded, and Liu Ziming would have been devoured long ago. "Father, it was all my fault. If I have such an opportunity again in the future, I definitely won't do it this way?"
But little did they know that Liu Ziming would never give them such an opportunity. Would he do it a second time after being fooled once?
If he falls for it again, Liu Ziming must be an idiot, a brain-dead idiot, an incurable idiot.
"Silly child! Your father doesn't mean to blame you. You've suffered serious internal injuries this time, so rest and recuperate for a while. I'm sure that Liu Ziming didn't get away with it either; he's not in much better shape." The cunning Demon King revealed a bloodthirsty expression, casually beckoning his subordinates over to spy on Liu Ziming's safe zone again. "What's going on now?" "This time, you go and investigate Liu Ziming's safe zone. Don't get too close. Just observe what those guys are doing every day. Don't disturb them." Yuebai hadn't expected that her father would devise another scheme after one failed attempt. It seemed her Demon King was getting increasingly impatient in his efforts to unify the entire region.
Because he had no idea what had happened; the entire area had undergone subtle changes, but his abilities were too weak to notice.
(Li's) "Okay, Demon King, don't worry, I will definitely fax back the information I've gathered as soon as possible, and I guarantee those guys won't find out."
The subordinate sent out by the Demon King was extremely miserable, because this was not a good task. If he could not complete it or did it poorly, he would definitely be punished by the Demon King.
