Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C230 Shocking Secret(part Ii)
“Miss Ye, with your strength, you must want to leave this small world. As long as you let us brothers follow you in the illusion, we will help you find the key to protect you when you are in danger.” The leopard headed Beastman looked at the dying bear-headed Beastman and the wolf-headed Beastman, and said to the Purple Rings.
Along the way, if it weren’t for the fact that his eldest brother and third brother were protecting him, who was slightly weaker than them, his injuries probably wouldn’t be lighter than theirs.
Zi Ling had always disliked working with others in the secret realm, but this was an important matter, so she hesitated for a moment. Right at this time, Qi Hao’s voice sounded in his ear, “Promise them. Although they aren’t that powerful, they can still help you.”
Zi Ling turned her head to look at him, not understanding why Qi Hao would suddenly give such an opinion. Although she heard it, she didn’t immediately make a decision.
Qi Hao continued, “I still have one more thing to do. It’s very dangerous, so I can’t stay by your side. With them following you, I’m a bit more at ease.”
Zi Ling’s heart skipped a beat, “You can leave. Whatever I want to do, I will make a decision.”
Qi Hao’s eyes swept across his face, then he gave a faint smile and said, “Wait for my return.”
As his voice fell, his figure also disappeared into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Zi Ling’s sight.
Zi Ling didn’t know what Qi Fu was going to do, but she could guess that it was related to what he had to do. She also had something she needed to do, which was going to be with the three of them to find the key.
The leopard headed orc was a bit embarrassed, he shook his head, “I hope you can give us some time to let my brother and third brother rest and recover.”
Zi Ling didn’t say anything else. Instead, she took out a bottle of pills from her storage bag and poured out two sparkling and translucent pills.
He opened his palm and handed it to the leopard headed orc, “Give this to them.”
The pill in her hand was a precious snow pill. Although she felt heartache, she was still willing to use such a precious snow pill when compared to finding the key to open the small world.
The leopard headed Beastman had an extraordinary intelligence, upon seeing this he carefully accepted it and said “Thank you”.
The snow-white pills slid into the mouths of the two beastmen who were groaning. Soon, their moans became fainter. Not long after, the moans disappeared, and the sound of heavy snoring drifted into the sober duo’s ears.
The leopard headed Beastman looked at Zi Ling with some embarrassment. “These two brothers of mine are too tired. I’ve never had a good rest these days.”
The illusions were filled with danger. Not only them, the rest of the people also didn’t relax and had a good rest. As the two fell asleep, the leopard headed Beastman knew that the drug had worked. He couldn’t help but be curious. This woman’s strength was extraordinary, and the medicinal pill she casually took out was able to recover most of her injuries in such a short period of time. She was truly extraordinary.
Zi Ling saw that he was staring at her and understood what he was thinking about. She slightly lifted her eyelids, “You stay here and guard them. I’ll go look around.”
Under the leopard headed Beastman’s gaze, the purple silk calmly walked away.
As Zi Ling walked and looked, she discovered that they were in a place that looked like a huge cave. The entrance to the snowy plains was closed after she and Qi Hao left, and the entire cave was dimly lit.
After circling the area, she was unable to discover any other dangers or exits. She paused in her tracks and pondered for a moment, then turned around and walked back.
She left for an hour. By then, the wolf-headed beastmen and bear-headed beastmen had already woken up and found out that it was Zi Ling who saved them from the leopard headed beast’s mouth. Furthermore, it wasn’t the first time that Zi Ling had saved them.
Zi Ling approached and saw the two beastmen who had just woken up. She nodded and asked the leopard headed beastman, “Tell me, how did you guys get here, and what’s the situation now?”
After listening to Zi Ling’s inquiry, the leopard headed Beastman’s expression became a little unnatural, “Speaking of which, aside from those who are unable to reach the top, the three of us will probably be the last group to climb the Sky Stairway. Luckily, the three of us are of one mind, so we were able to escape this illusion.
Zi Ling nodded, thinking that these eight doors might be different illusions. Coincidentally, she, Qi Hao, and Chu Feng had chosen the same door, while the rest of them chose the other doors and entered different illusions.
The leopard headed Beastman trio’s knowledge was limited, but this let her know that after leaving the illusionary world, they would all pass through this cave.
He didn’t know if the time within this dreamland was the same as outside. Thinking of this, Zi Ling said, “How long have you been trapped in this dreamland?”
Before the leopard headed orc could reply, the wolf-headed orc touched his terrifying head, looking embarrassed, “It’s all my fault. Big brother and second brother were implicated by me, we’ve been trapped here for almost three months.”
Zi Ling’s brows knitted slightly as she muttered to herself, “The two illusions are at the same speed as the time that passes outside.”
Fortunately, they were only trapped for three months or so. If there were some who refused to defeat the inner demons and were controlled by them, then several years would pass in the blink of an eye, and they would be trapped inside for the rest of their lives.
Speaking of which, it could be said that she and these three beastmen were fated to meet after so many times, so she decided to comply with their wishes. Perhaps these three could bring her a pleasant surprise and help her open the path to cultivation.
“How are you doing?” Zi Ling withdrew her thoughts and her gaze swept over the bear-headed beastman and the wolf-headed beast.
The bear-headed orc waved his muscular arms, “Don’t worry Miss Ye, I am full of power now. “Thank you for Miss Ye’s pills.”
Zi Ling faintly smiled, “It’s good that you’ve recovered. Let’s go.”
The Three Beasts followed Zi Ling and subconsciously, they surrounded her in the middle. Although Zi Ling might not need their protection, she felt a slight warmth from their actions. At the very least, she did not save the wrong person.
After they had walked for nearly two hours, the leopard-headed Beastman suddenly stopped, “Why do I feel that something’s wrong?”
Zi Ling, who was walking among them, did not utter a single word. She had already noticed that something was amiss, and her divine sense also covered the nearby area as she carefully examined it.
“What’s wrong?” The wolf-headed beastmen were rather thick-headed, and did not notice anything amiss.
“Shh!” The bear-headed beastmen quickly stopped the wolf-headed beastmen from talking loudly, and for a moment, the few of them carefully observed their surroundings.
In the beginning, there would occasionally be some monsters attacking them, but gradually, he didn’t see a single living creature during this hour.
Zi Ling suddenly frowned. About ten miles away, a large group of unknown creatures were approaching.
“This way …” Zi Ling raised her hand and pointed, leading the three of them to the fork on the left.
Using his spiritual sense to investigate the situation took a lot of effort. After searching for a while, the Purple Ribbon retracted his spiritual sense, and after a while, it sent out his spiritual sense to investigate. On three occasions, she led the three orcs out of the area where monsters roamed. But she was also a little tired and stopped. She said to the three of them, “Let’s stop to rest for a while.”
After she finished speaking, she sat down cross-legged without looking at the three. She needed time to recover so that she could avoid the danger in front of her.
The leopard headed Beastman glanced at Zi Ling. Although she didn’t say anything, they hadn’t encountered any danger after walking for so long. It must be related to her, so they couldn’t distract her while she was recovering.
“Big brother, third brother, the two of you go check out the surroundings from the left and right sides.” Big brother, third brother, the two of you go check out the situation from the left and right sides.
The bear-headed orc and the wolf-headed orc had no objections, they nodded and dispersed.
Time slowly passed, and the Purple Ribbon was almost fully recovered. At this moment, the wolf-headed beastmen rushed over in a fluster, “Not good, it seems like there are a lot of things heading this way from the left.”
As the sound of his voice faded, the deafening footsteps reached the ears of the remaining people. The bear-headed Beastman also came back, and when he heard his third brother’s words, he hurriedly said: “There seems to be no movement on the right side, let’s go over there.”
The leopard headed orc hurriedly turned his gaze towards the purple silk. At this moment, the purple silk also opened its eyes. Its clear eyes revealed a trace of heaviness, and its tone was also a bit serious. “There’s no need. We’re surrounded.”
As soon as she recovered her divine sense, she released it. She didn’t expect to see a large group of monsters surround them. The reason why they were called monsters was because they had hands and feet, but no heads. Their eyes, noses and mouths were all on their bodies, making them look very terrifying.
As soon as Zi Ling said this, the three beastmen brothers’ expressions changed.
“What?” We’re surrounded? ” The wolf-headed beastman’s face was filled with shock.
Zi Ling nodded and stood up from the ground. She stared at the front with a cautious look, “That’s right, these things will appear very soon.”
The leopard headed beastman’s beard shook a little, then he rolled his vertical eye, “Does Miss Ye have a way to deal with it?”
Zi Ling shook her head, “I am not completely confident. Therefore, I will try my best in a while. You all should find the right opportunity to break through.”
“Miss Ye, although we are from the beast race, but we also know about this. You saved us before, we will not leave you behind and run for our lives.” The bear-headed orc said seriously.
Zi Ling slightly knitted her brows, “Don’t be silly. I am not noble enough to sacrifice myself for you. Although there are a lot of these things, they might not be able to leave me behind.”
The bear-headed Beastman was about to say more, but his second brother pulled on his arm and said, “Brother, Miss Ye is right. If we stay, we might implicate her. When the time comes, we will try our best to break out and lighten Miss Ye’s burden.”
In just a few words, the monsters that blotted out the sky appeared near them. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the three beastmen quickly moved their feet, forming a triangle and protecting the purple silk.
Zi Ling looked ahead and stared at those strange things. Every monster widened their eyes that were bloodshot. They were like a bloody ball hanging there, their mouths opening and closing, a row of sharp teeth flashing with a sharp light.
