The ancient Insect Abyss, beneath the cracks in the ground that isolates the two races of gods and demons, is like an isolated world.
But apart from looking up, there is only a narrow gap in the sky.
'Is this the Ancient Insect Abyss? Mu Qingge slowly looked back and looked around. After entering the Demon Realm for a few days, she finally arrived here, and there was news that she was suspected to be Si Mo.
"Princess, the news is that a small tribe in the Insect Abyss rescued a man in the swamp a few days ago." Gu Ya stood behind Mu Qingge and said in a low voice.
Mu Qingge tapped her chin and pursed her lips slightly.
This was the news that came back, but no one was sure whether the man who was rescued was Si Mo.
"Why don't you send someone to investigate that tribe?" Mu Qingge asked her own question.
Gu Ye said: "What the princess doesn't know is that the Zerg in the Insect Abyss are divided into large and small tribes. Each tribe is closed to each other and operates independently. Therefore, in order to defend against the intrusion of other tribes, outside their tribes, The insect array has been set up, and without the leadership of someone from this tribe, there is no way to get in."
Is that so
Mu Qingge frowned slightly. She couldn't imagine what the insect array was, but it must not be something fun. Otherwise, with the ability of the Demon Guard, it is impossible to sit still and wait for death.
They originally wanted to visit and investigate, but knowing that the princess was concerned, they immediately sent the news and waited for the princess to arrive before going to investigate.
"Then go to that tribe now, pay your respects openly, and tell him to find someone." Mu Qingge said.
She left all the remaining matters at Menglan River to Qingze to handle. She came to Zongyuan non-stop just to find Si Mo. Now, no matter whether that person was Si Mo or not, she was unwilling to wait any longer.
"Princess, let's go to the meeting point first." Gu Ya reminded.
Gu Ye also said hurriedly: "The two hundred demon guards who were sent to Zhongyuan to look for the king will meet us at the meeting point and then lead the way to the small tribe."
Mu Qingge nodded slightly, trying to calm down her impatience.
She lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the palace bell tied around her waist. She speculated in her mind, 'If the person who was rescued was really Si Mo. So how is he now? Are you awake or seriously injured and in a coma? Why hasn't her palace bell moved yet? '
"Princess, let's go." Gu Ya said.
Mu Qingge gathered her thoughts, nodded, and walked forward with Gu Ya and the others.
This time, in addition to Gu Ya and Gu Ye, they also brought 300 demon guards, plus the 200 demon guards who had previously entered Zongyuan to inquire about Si Mo, for a total of 500 people.
Such a number of people should be able to cope with any problem that occurs in the Insect Abyss.
…
Deep in the Insect Abyss, in a small and remote tribe.
Outside the courtyard of the wooden house, a very good-looking man was sitting on the ground. There was a bamboo mat spread on the ground to prevent his clothes from getting soiled by the dust on the ground.
In fact, even if there was some dust on his black robe, it was not obvious.
In the corner of the wooden house behind him, the windows were ajar. A Zerg girl was hiding behind the window, holding her chin in one hand, secretly looking at his back and handsome profile through the gap in the window.
It seems like it would be great to just sit quietly and watch for a day.
"Lingling, what are you looking at?"
Suddenly, an old and kind voice came from behind the girl, startling the girl named Lingling.
She stood up in a panic, tugging at the corners of her clothes helplessly, lowering her head and not daring to look at the person. "grandfather… "
The old man held a cane in his hand. Although his face was old, his expression was very kind.
He cast a longing look at Lingling, then looked at the gap in the window that was slightly hidden. He sighed, shook his head and said, "Lingling, grandpa understands your thoughts, but... he is not suitable for you."
Lingling lowered her head and bit her lip in grievance.
Her stubborn look made the old man sigh again. He advised: "Both his appearance and demeanor are extraordinary. He cannot stay in the Insect Abyss for you, and our ancient precepts do not allow you to follow him out."
The old man's words made Lingling look disappointed.
She reluctantly turned around and looked at the figure she fell in love with at first sight again. Reluctantly looking away, she asked with a stubborn expression: "Grandpa, why can't I follow him?"
"This is the rule!" The old man stamped his crutch in his hand.
"Rules! Rules! You always abide by some rules that no one can explain clearly!" Lingling shouted.
Her eyes were slightly red, as if she had been greatly wronged.
The old man gave her a distressed look and softened his tone, "Lingling, if I had known you would be like this, grandpa shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to help you keep him."
Lingling's face turned pale and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
The old man continued: "Anyway, remember what I say. It is impossible for you and him, so don't think too much. I will send someone to send him out tomorrow."
"Grandpa!" Lingling suddenly raised her head and looked at her grandfather in disbelief.
The old man's eyes widened, "Look what I'm doing? He has been nursed back to health in the past few days. Although Zhongyuan never restricts the entry and exit of outsiders, the Zerg tribe has no contact with outsiders. He was kept here for a few days. It’s already the utmost kindness and righteousness.”
"But, his injury is not completely healed yet!" Lingling said anxiously.
But the old man pointed it out directly: "I think if you continue to keep him here, I'm afraid his injury will be healed, but your heart will be lost."
Lingling bit her lip, her eyes filled with mist.
The old man shook his head helplessly, turned and left.
Watching the old man leave, Lingling sniffed hard and turned to look out the window. She murmured to herself, "Although you haven't said a word to me in the past few days and have always acted coldly, I still can't bear to see you leave. But grandpa is right, you can't stay in Insect Abyss for too long. Are you willing to take me away with you?"
Her murmur was not heard by Si Mo outside.
I'm afraid if you hear it, you may not care.
His eyes fell on the palace bell tightly tied on his belt at this time, and he frowned slightly. There seemed to be a little doubt in the amber eyes, but also a little deep thought.
…
In the Insect Abyss, a kind of light yellow smoke filled the air everywhere.
The world under this crack in the earth also has mountains, water, grasslands, and Gobi. How big is the Insect Abyss? Even Gu Ya and Gu Ye couldn't answer this question, let alone Mu Qingge.
She looked around, hiding everything she saw along the way.
"Didn't you mean Bug Abyss? Why didn't you see even a bug after coming in for a long time?" Mu Qingge suddenly asked.
Gu Ya explained, "If we see bugs, we may encounter Zerg people."
"Zerg." Mu Qingge murmured in a low voice.
"Although the Zerg don't like fighting, they are very xenophobic. This kind of xenophobia does not just exclude outsiders, but also excludes everyone outside their tribe, even if they are of the same race." Gu Ye said.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows, a little curious.
Gu Ye continued to explain, "There are many branches in the Zerg tribe, and they are divided according to the insect species they control. Perhaps due to the natural hostility of some insect species, they live a very closed life in each branch. Usually they are They live in peace and harmony, but if other branches break into their territory, it will lead to fights. Of course, there are branches that are exclusive and there are branches that are closely related. In short, the relationship between the Zerg is complicated and it is difficult for us to understand."
"What about outsiders walking in the Insect Abyss?" Mu Qingge asked.
Gu Ya replied: "Outsiders... In fact, everyone in the Zerg tribe understands that the only people who have the ability to enter the ancient Insect Abyss are the gods and demons. After all, the Insect Abyss is on the dividing line between the gods and demons. Regarding the two races of gods and demons, they adopt an attitude of not approaching or provoking us. As long as we enter the Insect Abyss and do not touch their interests or enter their territory at will, they will not care. "
Mu Qingge frowned slightly, feeling somewhat enlightened.
Perhaps, it is because of the special environment and folk customs of Insect Abyss that it is extremely difficult to find out information.
"Princess, we are here!" Gu Ye reminded.
At this time, Mu Qingge noticed that two hundred demon guards were already standing beside the reeds next to the river beach.
"Subordinate, please see the princess!"
The two hundred demon guards didn't need to say hello. When they saw Mu Qingge, they all knelt down and saluted.
Their attitude saved Mu Qingge a lot of trouble. At least, she no longer has to accept temptations, nor does she have to do anything to prove her identity.
"Everyone, get up. You have worked hard during this period. When the king is found, he will reward you based on your merits." Mu Qingge said.
"It is the duty of the subordinates to dedicate themselves to the king and the princess." the demon guard replied.
Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly and said to them: "Since we have reconciled, let us lead the way to find your king."
"Yes! Princess."
Two hundred demon guards merged into the team and led Mu Qingge towards the small tribe where the news came from.
The location they chose was not far from the small tribe.
After a while, Mu Qingge saw some building outlines from a distance. Those buildings are very simple and look unpretentious.
When he came outside the tribe, far away from the stone tablet that said 'no entry for strangers', Gu Ye took a step forward and shouted to the other side: "I heard that your tribe saved a person a few days ago. This person may be my family master. Could you please help me?" It’s convenient for the tribe and let us confirm.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingge heard a rustling sound on the ground.
She looked down and suddenly felt her scalp numb. Densely packed insects actually crawled out of the soft sand, and they quickly moved to both sides to make way for the tribe.
These countless bugs were separated on both sides, like soldiers lined up, watching them with "eager" eyes.
Lone Ye looked back and explained to Mu Qingge in a low voice, "The people inside let us in. Princess, remember, no matter whether the king is inside or not, do not touch anything. These bugs can attach themselves to any utensils."
Mu Qingge nodded slowly to express his understanding.
Mu Qingge led the demon guards and entered the tribe along the way out of the way. As soon as they entered the doorway symbolizing the tribe, an old man appeared in front of them.
"Follow me." The old man said to them, holding his cane, and turned around to lead the way without any greetings.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows and followed the old man...
Memory is the most unreliable thing. If you lose it, but you still feel the original intention and recognize what your heart moves, it is more precious. What you all know is Uncle Mo in front of Qing Ge. From today on, you will know the Demon Lord before Qing Ge. However, whether it is Uncle Mo or the Demon Lord, they are always the same when facing the Duke. The first wave of dog food is launched today...
