Chapter 216: Truly Fragrant or Not, Qin Zi Asks for Directions
"What, the Broken Star Demon Realm?!"
Qin Zi's face suddenly turned pale, almost scared to death on the spot!
Because except for riding the gate-blocking flying ship, if a human race strongman trespasses into the demon realm, they will be relentlessly hunted by the demon race!
No rest until death!
If you don't have Emperor-Level strength, there's basically no hope of escaping the demon realm alive; you'll die miserably.
"Which son of a bitch with no conscience dug such a sneaky tunnel, I'm not done with you!!"
He roared in anger.
Then... he turned and left.
Although he hated this tunnel to death, at this moment, if he walked out of the tunnel, he would definitely be doomed, so he could only return the way he came!
This tunnel is a maze.
Even if those demon race strongmen followed him into the tunnel, it wouldn't be easy for them to catch him.
However!
The person who made the tunnel seemed to have heard his roar, and thus, he noticed, the tunnel behind him collapsed with a "boom."
"This..."
Qin Zi's body stiffened, and with tears welling up, he said, "Great one who dug this tunnel, I was wrong, I need this tunnel..."
He sincerely repented.
But it was of no use.
The irresistible law of attraction didn't work here.
You just have to die, dying outside, if you jump from here, you'll never taste another bite...
"Haha, trying to run? Come out now!"
The Black Ox Spirit sneered, stomping its huge hoof on the ground, instantly shaking Qin Zi out.
"Escape!"
Qin Zi made a decisive decision to fly in one direction—though he wasn't sure if that direction led deeper into the demon realm...
"Stay for me!"
A lion body suddenly swelled, transforming into a height of several hundred feet, and came biting at Qin Zi with its blood-red mouth covering the sky.
"You really think I'm easy to bully?!"
Qin Zi roared, took out the Fire Dragon Spear Imperial Artifact, suddenly accelerated, and transformed into a fire dragon piercing through!
"Puff!"
Blood splattered, and Qin Zi turned into a red light flying toward the horizon, while the huge lion fell backward.
"Boom—"
The giant lion fell, the ground shook violently, and dust flew everywhere, leaving the surrounding demons stunned.
"This... did old Lion really just die like that? It was a four-fold Heavenly demon saint!"
"That guy had an imperial artifact, that's why he could so easily kill old Lion."
"So... should we chase?"
"Hmph, he can deal with fourfold heavens, but I'm a fivefold heavenly demon saint, of course... survival is more important!"
"Makes sense, that human ran further into the depth of the Broken Star Demon Realm, naturally, seniors will deal with him."
Thus, these demons slowly lay on the ground, shifting from standing on two feet to walking on four.
Pretending to be ordinary animals, they continued grazing.
The cultivation of the demon race is just that unpretentious.
Actually, the demon race is broadly divided into two types.
One type is the offspring born from great families in the demon realm, born with wisdom, some even shapeshifted directly into human form upon becoming a saint, cultivating just like humans, achieving something within decades, able to transform back if needed.
The other type is the original demon, ordinary beasts or plants gaining intelligence, becoming demons.
These two types of demons are akin to the difference between nobles and nouveau riche.
Nobles value heritage, pursuing spiritual culture, while the nouveau riche often do not value these.
For example, the demons before them are merely ordinary beasts that accidentally gained intelligence. Even after becoming spirits, they do not yearn for Martial Dao, still living like beasts for thousands of years, only remaining at four or five heavenly layers.
Of course, Qin Zi wasn't worried about any of this.
He was escaping for his life!
"I can't run wildly; I must figure out the direction, heading towards the Purple Cloud Domain to have a chance of surviving."
He deeply understood the horror of the demon realm; the deeper he went, the more great demons there were, even hidden quasi-emperor-level great demons.
"Let me catch a demon and ask for directions first."
Having decided, he took action.
Not long after, he encountered a bear-like demon. This blind bear's first reaction upon seeing him was to rush at him with claws and fangs.
A moment later.
The big black bear was beaten to a pulp, a huge welt rose on its head, tears at the corners of its eyes, sitting there.
"I ask you, where is the Purple Cloud Domain?"
Qin Zi floated two meters above the ground to be level with the black bear spirit, which sat over four meters tall, and asked calmly.
"Honey? Where's honey?"
The black bear spirit's eyes lit up, quickly looking around, and its nose twitched as if smelling the air.
"Where's the human race?"
Qin Zi's mouth twitched a few times, asking differently.
"Human race? What is the human race?"
The black bear spirit displayed a look of confusion in its eyes.
Qin Zi's face turned completely black, feeling utterly like playing a lute to a cow. Annoyed, he thought this black bear spirit was being deliberately uncooperative and decided to hit it again.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Ouch, ow, spare me!"
Qin Zi punched and kicked, raising a cloud of dust, while the black bear spirit held its head with its paws, rolling on the ground, crying out.
After a long time, Qin Zi felt he'd vented enough, stopped the beating, and continued to ask, "Where is the human race?!"
"What does the human race look like?"
The black bear spirit wiped its tears, asking pitifully.
"Exactly like me!"
Qin Zi said exasperatedly, "Little arms and legs, wearing clothes, looking rather good-looking."
"Oh, oh."
The black bear spirit nodded quickly, then muttered softly, "But you don't look good, so skinny, not much meat..."
"Hmm?!"
Qin Zi glared.
The dull black bear spirit was startled, shrank back, and quickly said, "I remember, I remember, it's over there! It seems there are many like you living far in that direction."
It extended a paw, pointing into the distance.
It was evening at this time, with the sky tinged with a faint orange, peaceful and serene, seemingly pregnant with civilization and hope...
"Not lying?"
Qin Zi asked suspiciously.
"No, absolutely not!"
The black bear spirit shrank its head, swearing earnestly.
But Qin Zi still wasn't assured.
So he gave the black bear spirit a few more beatings, leaving it half-dead before confirming it wasn't lying.
"Thanks."
So he threw down a few spirit fruits, ascended into the air, and flew in that direction.
He didn't kill that black bear spirit.
Because he knew demons weren't necessarily bad, just a different race, and in the demon realm, these ordinary demons lived like ordinary humans, unbothered by worldly struggles.
The real opposition to the Human Race came from the noble demons, the true great demons!
Meanwhile, high in the sky.
Qin Chuan, dressed in the invisibility cloak purchased with thirty dad's-worth, hid his entire aura, silently watching his cheap son.
He was surprised to find.
After a "polite" inquiry, Qin Xiaozhu still ran deeper into the demon realm.
He was puzzled for a moment.
Then it dawned on him.
Apparently... those truly powerful great demons, most were human-shaped.
