Survival: The Evolution of an Evil God Starting from a Spider

Page 267

Before entering the ancient battlefield, Liu Ziming had never thought this way, but after entering, he noticed that Yuebai was behaving somewhat strangely. Although it was only slight and went unnoticed by others, Liu Ziming still noticed it. "Spider Boss, have you discovered something or figured something out again?"

The giant ape elder, observing the scene before him and listening to Liu Ziming's explanation, was filled with surprise. However, he felt that with Liu Ziming by his side, these things shouldn't be a problem. "Hehe, Princess Yuebai, why didn't you feel anything strange after entering this place? Are you particularly familiar with this environment?"

Yuebai never dreamed that although she had some slight thoughts that weren't very obvious on her face, Liu Ziming still noticed them. 213 was startled. "Liu Ziming, what nonsense are you talking about? I just feel that the environment here is particularly strange, and I have a feeling of unease. Isn't everyone else feeling the same way?"

When Yuebai said these words, a hint of fear flashed across her face for only a fraction of a second, but Liu Ziming still noticed it.

"It seems my guess might be correct. I have to be careful of this girl. She is too calm and calculating. If I'm not careful, I might suffer a great loss." Liu Ziming was starting to feel more certain. He felt that there must be a reason why Yuebai returned, but it was definitely not as he had described.

Since his return, Liu Ziming had kept a close eye on his behavior and, after careful consideration, he was increasingly convinced that the man had ulterior motives.

"Hehe, Princess Moon White, why were you in such a hurry when we came out of that cave? Did you really want to see your mother whom you haven't seen for many years? Or did your father, the Demon King, give you some instructions, which is why you did that?"

Seeing the slightly teasing expression on Liu Ziming's face, Princess Yuebai became even more uneasy. She was surprised that Liu Ziming had discovered her little scheme.

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't do that at all. The reason I came among you wasn't because of my father's support. Didn't you all hear that before? My father, the Demon King, has abandoned me!" Yue Bai's expression was extremely agitated as she argued, but inside she felt incredibly empty. After all, having her thoughts exposed by Liu Ziming was not a good thing. "I was just joking with you. Why are you taking it so seriously? Why bother about things that don't concern you?"

When Liu Ziming said these words, it was unclear whether he was speaking intentionally to Yuebai or to himself, but everyone seemed somewhat confused.

However, Yuebai knew that Liu Ziming must have discovered something, otherwise he would never have said such things. He was definitely saying these words to reassure her.

"Tch, who has the mind to joke with you? Just surviving in this godforsaken place is a miracle, let alone joking around. Only someone with such a thick skin could be so carefree!" Yuebai seemed unconvinced by Liu Ziming's somewhat self-deprecating explanation, even though he knew Liu Ziming had discovered something, he pretended to be oblivious. "My goodness, what are these two talking about? We can't understand a word they're saying!"

"My goodness, are these two out of their minds? They're spouting such fantastical stories! I can't understand a word they're saying. Could there be something fishy going on between them?" "Anyway, we're already here. What these two are talking about is none of my business. There's no way back, so we can only accept our fate." The conversation between Liu Ziming and Yuebai didn't cause much resentment, but everyone had their own ulterior motives, they just didn't say them aloud.

"Haha, welcome to the ancient battlefield with so many delicious foods! We've been waiting impatiently. These delicacies must taste the best, and they're so lively and full of energy, it's wonderful!"

The group walked about two or three miles ahead, but they never dreamed that the resentful spirits on the ancient battlefield would actually make tsk-tsk noises, appearing particularly excited, as if they regarded them as delicious food on their plate.

"Miss Yuebai, may I ask you a question? Why don't you react at all? Do these things really pose no threat to you at all?" Liu Ziming's question seemed ordinary, but it was full of meaning. Yuebai, perhaps without thinking much about it, appeared indifferent and spoke directly.

"These things are all shameful, what's there to be afraid of? They're just resentments left over from ancient times. Their abilities may vary, but I don't seem to be bound by them?"

When Yuebai finished speaking, he had no idea that everyone's gaze towards him was somewhat different. Although he didn't say it aloud, Yuebai began to regret it. How could he have been so careless?

"Don't misunderstand me, everyone. I'm just saying that I don't feel any fear towards these resentful spirits. They're all shady things. Didn't Liu Ziming say that as long as you're strong enough, these things will vanish in an instant? You can try it if you don't believe me?"

Seeing the somewhat excited expression on Yuebai's face, everyone's heart was truly uneasy. Yuebai's behavior in this ancient battlefield left over from the ancient times was too abnormal, completely different from the Yuebai before. Could there be some secret behind this?

"Hehe, Miss Yuebai, don't pay any attention to Liu Ziming. He's a scoundrel who just spouts off whatever comes to mind. Don't mind him." Liu Ziming was completely taken aback by the fact that this guy, Slime Mirror, would say something like that at this moment.

Chapter 388 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster

Even Yuebai didn't expect that the Slime Mirror, who disliked him the most, would say such a thing at this moment. He looked particularly surprised and didn't quite understand what the Slime Mirror meant.

"Alright, everyone, let's not dwell on these things anymore. Let's not take the jokes too far. After all, we've already entered the ancient battlefield, and those resentful spirits are already eyeing us covetously. Our real enemy now is these resentful spirits of the ancient battlefield. Let's put everything else aside for now."

Because Liu Ziming could clearly sense the resentment emanating from the ancient battlefield, which was hostile towards them and constantly swirling around them. Although these were relatively low-level resentments, they were still not to be underestimated. "What is this thing? Why is it radiating such brilliant light? Could it be some kind of treasure?"

Since entering the ancient battlefield, the seven-colored deer has been extremely curious about everything around it. It knows that if danger arises, Liu Ziming is all it takes; it doesn't need to worry. So, it casually picked up something from the ground and started fiddling with it. "Put that thing down! Otherwise, you'll lose your hand!"

Liu Ziming never expected that the timid little deer, who was even afraid of mice, would casually pick up something from the ground and start fiddling with it. So, he hurriedly shouted, "Liu Ziming, what are you doing? He just picked something up out of curiosity. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Startled by Liu Ziming's loud shouts, the Seven-Colored Deer loosened its grip, and the object fell to the ground again. However, a strange scene unfolded. "Hehe, this little guy tastes really good. If you don't believe me, you can try it?"

Perhaps Liu Ziming was careless. He didn't tell these people that the resentment of the ancient battlefield could manifest in various shapes, objects, or even human figures, but the Seven-Colored Deer actually touched it, and he really had no way to deal with it.

"Everyone, be careful! The resentment from the ancient battlefield can manifest in various shapes. Don't touch it lightly; it will drain our energy, eventually causing us to wither and die. Don't be careless or curious about anything!" Liu Ziming could clearly sense that the Seven-Colored Deer had lost at least a small portion of its energy. If he hadn't intervened in time, the little deer would likely be in serious trouble. "Sister Cat, I feel dizzy. Could it be that what Liu Ziming said was true? That thing devoured some of my energy, which is why I feel like this?" After discarding the thing, the Seven-Colored Deer felt unwell, her head spinning, so she leaned on the Cat Angel and whispered.

"Sigh, you guys are really a handful. Didn't I tell you before we entered that every action we take must be in accordance with Spider Boss's instructions? We must not act rashly. You little guys are just too disobedient?"

The giant ape elder seemed quite regretful, after all, the seven-colored deer had lost a portion of his energy for nothing, which was a fatal blow to him, since his abilities were the lowest. So he said with some regret.

"Heh heh, these guys are surprisingly wary. Looks like they're not as easy to deal with as I thought?"

The resentment of those who had benefited from the ancient battlefield manifested in a different guise, appearing ferocious and terrifying. They surrounded Liu Ziming and his group, constantly whispering and taunting. "You guys are simply courting death. I entered the ancient battlefield unintentionally. Since you despicable creatures don't want to live, then I'll grant your wish?"

Because the seven-colored deer had suffered minor injuries, Liu Ziming appeared extremely angry. Without any hesitation, he dragged out both palms, unleashing a massive wave of attack that emitted a buzzing sound and looked terrifying.

"Run! This guy is too powerful. We're no match for him!"

The resentful spirits of the ancient battlefield weren't pushovers. They realized Liu Ziming was far too terrifying and tried to run, but it wasn't that simple. "Don't you think it's too late to run? Since you've provoked my friend, you're all destined to meet your maker!" (Requesting flowers.)

Liu Ziming's face held a sinister glint, his expression twisted in a grotesque grimace as he gazed upon the resentment emanating from the ancient battlefield before him, showing not a trace of pity. "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

With the massive energy wave unleashed by Liu Ziming, the resentful spirits of the ancient battlefield, who had no chance to escape, were instantly reduced to ashes, leaving only agonizing screams echoing through the air, creating a terrifying scene. "Liu Ziming, what are you doing? Don't you know that once you enter the ancient battlefield, it's best not to provoke these resentful spirits that have existed for thousands of years? If we provoke them, how are we supposed to leave?"

As a princess of the Elf race and the daughter of the Demon King's City Lord, Yuebai never dreamed that Liu Ziming would unleash a massive energy wave without any hesitation, instantly annihilating the resentment of hundreds of low-level ancient battlefields. Her face was pale as she spoke with some excitement.

"Why are you saying that about that stinky spider? Wasn't he doing all this for the safety of Seven-Colored Deer and us? Do you have some kind of connection with the resentment on this ancient battlefield? Otherwise, why are you so agitated?" Perhaps the events just now happened too suddenly, and Yuebai didn't have time to react, so she blurted out those words.

However, he never expected the slime to be so aggressive, looking at him menacingly. If he were to give it an explanation, this matter would probably not be so easily resolved.

"I just think that if we don't provoke the resentment of these ancient battlefields, maybe they won't do anything to us? I didn't mean to blame Liu Ziming at all, please don't misunderstand?" Faced with the aggressive aura of the Slime Mirror, Yuebai really regretted it. Was all the carefully designed plan going to be ruined so easily?

"Hehe, if you think we're all fools, then you're oversimplifying things. Don't you think there's something fishy going on when things seem unusual?"

Chapter 389 Different ways, don’t work together!

Faced with the Slime Mirror's barrage of questions, Yuebai had no time to react and immediately hid behind Liu Ziming, seeking refuge.

"Hehe, Miss Yuebai, you're acting so fragile. It doesn't seem to fit your persona at all, does it? Your father is the Demon King, the city lord of the Demon King's City, and your mother is a princess of the Elf Clan. Is this all the courage you have?" Liu Ziming knew that Yuebai was deliberately putting on a pitiful act to make everyone sympathize with him, but he would never give him that opportunity.

Because Liu Ziming firmly believed that those who walk different paths should not work together, otherwise he would bring misery to all his companions, and he did not want to do that.

"You stinky spider, you're no better than us. You can't resist pretty '213' girls and even believed his lies. Otherwise, how would we have ended up in this godforsaken place?"

Liu Ziming was completely taken aback. He had originally wanted Yuebai to reveal her true intentions, but the slime had turned its attention back on him. The slime looked extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to say. "Ahem, Princess Yuebai, I will still call you princess because I think your background is quite tragic. Were you deceiving us with everything you said before?"

The giant ape elder was extremely intelligent. He had clearly gleaned some information from their fragmentary conversation: Yuebai must have some ulterior motive, otherwise Liu Ziming would never have acted this way.

Seeing the sincere expression on the old giant ape's face, Yuebai thought for a while and realized that if he didn't say something, he probably wouldn't be able to get away with it so easily.

"Actually, I didn't deceive everyone. I just wanted to use everyone's strength to break free from the control of my father, the Demon King. I really miss my mother so much. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I'm really sorry." After saying these words, Yuebai knelt down on the ground with a thud, her head hitting the ground heavily. She looked extremely devout, which stunned everyone.

"Holy crap, it seems Liu Ziming is indeed clever. If it weren't for him, this guy would never have revealed his ulterior motives. It's ridiculous that we're being used as pawns by him!" Yuebai's actions raised questions from the others, but they also understood that Yuebai's actions were a sign of helplessness. In this Demon King's City, in this Demon Beast Forest, who else could he turn to for help? "Hehe, little girl, you wouldn't do that. If you really considered us friends, you should show your true feelings and tell us everything you want to do. Don't have any ulterior motives!"

Since awakening his ancestral dragon bloodline, the Flame Dragon Elder's way of thinking and tone of voice have changed significantly. After all, he is a member of the dragon race and knows a lot. He can understand why Yuebai would do such a thing. "Don't kneel on the ground. There are resentful spirits reborn there. Maybe some wronged soul will rush into your body and completely absorb your energy. You'll be in big trouble then." Liu Ziming is, to say the least, extremely meticulous. He absolutely cannot go forward to help Yuebai up, so he said this.

"Oh my god, what are we going to do? If those resentful spirits get into Yuebai's body, that would be really troublesome. Forget about getting rid of his father, the Demon King's, control. Even if he could see his mother, he would probably be a dried-up corpse by then?"

Did the Flame Dragon Elder know what Liu Ziming was thinking? So, with the two of them acting in concert, Yue Bai's face quickly turned pale. She scrambled to her feet and frantically examined every part of her body, letting those resentful thoughts seep into her.

"Don't worry, silly girl. Actually, the Spider Boss discovered your intentions a long time ago, otherwise he would never have said that. Now that we have come to the ancient battlefield left over from the ancient times, we should unite as one. Just like the Spider Boss said, our real enemies are these resentful spirits in front of us, ancient resentful spirits of different levels, understand?"

The Giant Ape elder had a feeling about Yuebai's somewhat unusual behavior, but he couldn't say anything. After all, it was Liu Ziming who had brought Yuebai into the team, and it wouldn't have been appropriate for him to say it at the time...

"Alright, I'm the most democratic person here. Now that Miss Yuebai has revealed her true intentions, does everyone still agree to let him stay in our team? If not, then he'll just have to fend for himself." Liu Ziming spread his hands, feigning helplessness, and passed the buck to everyone. He not only didn't take any responsibility, but he was also quite cunning.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you born of parents? Don't you have even a shred of compassion? You're really annoying, the more I look at you, the more irritating I get!"

In fact, Liu Ziming had already guessed that among these people, although Slime Mirror had the most fiery temper, he had the softest heart. Sure enough, he walked directly to Yue Bai and hugged her in his arms, looking very affectionate.

"Silly sister, don't worry, as long as I have a breath left, I will help you and help you fulfill your wish."

When the Slime Mirror said these words, it sounded particularly excited, as if its heart was in turmoil, and it was hard to tell what it was thinking.

"By the way, Spider Master, that energy wave you just unleashed, with a power level of 1.9, was really powerful. Could you teach me that skill? It would be a good way to save my life."

At this moment, the old Flame Dragon actually ran up to Liu Ziming with a grin, wanting to learn his skills, but Liu Ziming was really speechless.

If he could pass on his skills to him, he would have done so long ago without the Flame Dragon Elder even having to ask.

"Senior Flame Dragon, it's not that I'm unwilling to pass on my skills to you, but your body's energy simply cannot withstand such skills. Perhaps you'll understand once your level increases further?" Hearing Liu Ziming's words, the Flame Dragon Elder felt relieved, knowing that Liu Ziming was extremely formidable, far beyond his own capabilities.

Chapter 390 The Treacherous Demon King

"Liu Ziming, you absolutely cannot leave Yuebai here alone. If you do, he really won't be able to do anything. Are you planning to do that?"

Slime Mirror pointed at Liu Ziming and said fiercely, because he felt that Yuebai was really pitiful, and if these people didn't help him, he was afraid he really had no other choice. "If none of you have any problems, then of course I have no objections?"

At this moment, Liu Ziming really didn't want to provoke the fiery personality of Slime Mirror, so he simply shrugged and handed over the reins of the matter to him, letting him make his own decisions.

"Everyone, it's best not to linger here too long. These are all low-level resentments. If you want to find treasure, you'll have to enter its core area. Perhaps then you'll have that kind of opportunity?"

Although Liu Ziming heard Yuebai's reasonable explanation, she still seemed a little uneasy. After all, her father was a demon king supported by the demon king, a treacherous and cunning fellow who would definitely not give up so easily.

"Liu Ziming, are you worried about my father? He used his phantom to warn you before, so you think he can cross the barrier in front of you and enter this ancient battlefield, is that what you think?" Since Yuebai felt that he had told everyone everything, he looked at Liu Ziming without any concealment and asked with some concern.

"Hehe, Miss Yuebai, since you asked, I'll tell you the truth. Since your father is a Demon King supported by the Demon King, he certainly won't let this go so easily. He used a phantom to warn me before, and I shattered it with one punch. Do you think he'll give up so easily?"

Seeing the calm expression on Liu Ziming's face, Yuebai became somewhat uncertain. She knew her father's personality; he was willing to sacrifice anything for his throne, including his daughter. "So what are your plans? I don't even know what my father's strength is like. He can split a mountain with one hand and make rivers churn with one kick. Do you have a way to deal with him?"

So Yuebai decided to go all out and told Liu Ziming everything she knew about her father, so he could prepare in advance. She didn't know why she did this; had she fallen for him? "My goodness, the Demon King of the Demon King's City is truly terrifying! Otherwise, why would he be called the Demon King? He can stir up the world with just one hand and one foot! That's fucking awesome!" The old Flame Dragon showed a surprised expression. He hadn't expected Yuebai's father to be so terrifying; it was beyond his imagination. "Old man, are you scared? Otherwise, why is your expression so strange?"

In truth, the Flame Dragon Elder didn't want anyone to know his inner feelings, but he didn't expect the Giant Ape Elder to look at him with a smile, insisting on revealing his secrets, making him feel somewhat embarrassed. "So what if it is? Aren't you afraid? He can split a mountain with one hand and stir up rivers with one foot. Do you have such terrifying strength?"

The Flame Dragon Elder responded sharply to the Giant Ape Elder's teasing, because he knew that among them, only Liu Ziming probably possessed such strength, as they had never witnessed it before.

But things are just so strange; the things you fear most are exactly what happen at that moment.

"Haha, little guy, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably would never have come to this ancient battlefield."

Even if Liu Ziming racked his brains, he would never have imagined that the Demon King of the Demon King's City, unable to cross the barrier in front of him and enter this ancient battlefield left over from ancient times, actually followed the hole they opened and passed through it, but he was still just a phantom image.

"Holy crap, this guy's phantom is actually much more realistic than last time. It seems the Demon King of the Demon King's City is truly unfathomable in strength?"

Even the giant ape elder felt a sense of oppression when looking at the demon king's phantom. His strength had even surpassed that of a level 9 magical beast. In front of Yuebai's father's demon king phantom, he was nothing at all.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that the Demon King, who is known as the Demon King, would be so insidious, following us little people to the ancient battlefield of ancient times. Don't you have such strength yourself?" Liu Ziming was not surprised at all by the Demon King's phantom that suddenly appeared in front of him, because he had already guessed it beforehand, otherwise he would not be so calm.

But he never expected that the Demon King, who was known as the Demon King, would be unable to pass through that simple barrier. He really couldn't understand why.

"Little guy, don't test my patience. If I had the ability, would I have waited until now? Don't think that I'll be grateful to you just because I used your hole to cross over. That's too naive." The Demon King laughed loudly after saying these words, and his voice made everyone's eardrums feel a sharp pain. Even Shenzhi 213 was a little confused.

"Everyone be careful! This guy is using a long-lost demonic sound that can affect a person's mind. Don't resist it. Just relax completely and plug your ears!" Because the incident happened so suddenly, Liu Ziming loudly reminded everyone that the safety of his comrades was paramount. This was the bottom line he had to uphold after accidentally entering the ancient battlefield from the Monster Forest. "Little guy, what you're doing is useless. You think that just because they plug their ears, I can't interfere with their minds? You're oversimplifying things."

The Demon King's laughter still echoed in everyone's ears, but Liu Ziming really didn't have time to explain, so he simply waved his hands, his movements incredibly fast. Even the Demon King of the Demon King's City didn't see how Liu Ziming performed it. Those people stood frozen in place like fools, completely bewildered, like puppets.

"You, you, what kind of skill did you just use? These people have lost all their consciousness! Did you kill them all?" Liu Ziming completely ignored the Demon King's questioning; he had to ensure the safety of his companions.

Chapter 391: We Must Race Against Time

Even Liu Ziming himself hadn't expected that he had only used a simple acupressure technique, yet the Demon King, known as the Demon King, couldn't see it clearly. He seemed quite puzzled. "Haha, what skill did I use? Did I need to ask for your permission or report to you? Do you really think you're supreme and that no one dares to offend you?"

Liu Ziming is undeniably bold and shrewd. He intends to provoke the Demon King's phantom into attacking him, otherwise he won't be able to find the guy's weakness. This time, the phantom is much more realistic than the last one, so Liu Ziming absolutely cannot act rashly.

"Haha, little brat, do you think I don't understand your tricks? You just want to provoke me, make me attack you, and then shatter my will once again, right? This time it's definitely not that simple. I won't fall for your trap!" But the Demon King, who was known as the Demon King, never dreamed that Liu Ziming would find a flaw in his words. It turned out that this illusory figure was actually a wisp of this guy's will. He really hadn't expected this. "Haha, since you're not a fool and know what I'm going to do, do you still have a chance to resist?"

Liu Ziming knew he had to race against time and quickly eliminate the demon king's phantom within the limits of what these people could endure. Otherwise, if their bloodlines were sealed for too long, it would cause fatal damage to their bodies, and he didn't want that to happen.

"If you have the guts, you can try it. I absolutely will not run away and grant your suicidal wish?"

The Demon King's wisp of will appeared exceptionally powerful, displaying utter disdain in front of Liu Ziming, completely disregarding him. That's why he spoke as he did. "Is that so? You have such strong confidence, that's for the best. It would be best if my attack later fulfilled your suicidal wish, wouldn't it?"

Liu Ziming, it must be said, didn't want to be outdone by the so-called Demon King in words. He subtly teased his body, pushing it to its peak condition, and then quickly charged forward. "Haha, well done! I've been wanting to see just how powerful you are, to be so awesome?"

This time, the demon king's phantom did not overestimate itself. It directly extended its two enormous palms, each dozens of meters in size, completely enveloping Liu Ziming. It was like Mount Tai pressing down on him. The supreme pressure made Liu Ziming feel a sense of dread, as if death was slowly approaching him.
