Chapter 784: Entering the Abyss of Insects, Wang Gongling (1 More)
The ancient worm abyss, under the fissure that separates the two races of gods and demons, is like an isolated world.
It's just that apart from looking up, there is only a long and narrow gap in the sky.
‘Is this the ancient wormhole? ’ Mu Qingge slowly withdrew her gaze and looked around. After entering the Demon Realm for a few days, she finally came here, and there was news that she was suspected to be Si Mo.
"Princess, according to the news, a small tribe in Zongyuan rescued a man in the big lake a few days ago." Gu Ya stood behind Mu Qingge and said in a low voice.
Mu Qingge tapped her jaw lightly, her lips pursed slightly.
This was the news that came back, but no one could be sure whether the rescued man was Si Mo or not.
"Why didn't you send someone to investigate that tribe?" Mu Qingge asked himself.
Gu Ye said: "I don't know the princess. The Zerg race in the Zerg Abyss is divided into large and small tribes. Each tribe is closed and operates independently. Therefore, in order to defend against the intrusion of other tribes, outside their tribe, Bug formations have been set up, without the leadership of people from this tribe, there is no way to get in."
Is that so?
Mu Qingge frowned slightly. She couldn't imagine what a bug formation was, but it must not be a fun thing. Otherwise, with Demon Guard's ability, it is absolutely impossible to sit still.
They wanted to go to visit and investigate, but they knew that the princess was worried, so they immediately sent a message, and went to find out after the princess arrived.
"Then go to that tribe now, meet with me generously, and find someone directly." Mu Qingge said.
She left all the remaining matters by the Menglan River to Qing Ze, and she came to Zongyuan without stopping, just to find Si Mo, and now, no matter whether that person is Si Mo or not, she is unwilling to wait any longer.
"Princess, let's go to the meeting point first." Gu Ya reminded.
Gu Ye also hurriedly said: "The two hundred demon guards who were sent to Zongyuan to look for the king will meet us at the meeting point and lead the way to that small tribe."
Mu Qingge nodded slightly, suppressing her impatience.
She lowered her eyes, her eyes fell on the palace bell tied around her waist, and she speculated in her heart, 'If the person to be rescued is really Si Mo. How is he now? Conscious or seriously injured coma? Why has her palace bell remained silent for so long? '
"Princess, let's go." Gu Ya said.
Mu Qingge restrained 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 entered Zongyuan to inquire about Si Mo, a total of 500 people.
Such a number of people should be able to cope with any problems that occur in the wormhole.
...
In the depths of the worm abyss, in a remote small tribe.
Outside the courtyard of the wooden house, a very good-looking man was sitting on the ground. On the ground, a bamboo mat was spread to prevent his clothes from being soiled by the dust on the ground.
In fact, even if his black robe was covered with some dust, 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, resting her chin on one hand, watching his back and handsome profile secretly through the gap in the window.
It seems that just sitting quietly and watching for a day is also very good.
"Lingling, what are you looking at?"
Suddenly, an old and kind voice came from behind the girl, which startled the girl named Lingling.
She stood up in a panic, tugging at the corner of her clothes at a loss, and lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone. "grandfather……"
The old man was holding a cane in his hand. Although his face was old, his expression was very kind.
He glanced at Lingling, then looked at the gap in the window, sighed, shook his head and said: "Lingling, Grandpa understands your thoughts, but...he is not suitable for you."
Lingling lowered her head, biting her lips aggrieved.
Her stubborn appearance made the old man sigh again. Persuading: "He is not an ordinary person in terms of appearance or demeanor. It is impossible for him to stay in the abyss of insects for you, and our ancient teachings do not allow you to go out with him."
What the old man said made Lingling feel disappointed.
Unwillingly, she glanced back, and looked again at the figure that made her fall in love at first sight. Reluctantly withdrawing her gaze, she asked with a stubborn expression, "Grandpa, why can't I follow him?"
"This is the rule!" The old man stomped the cane 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 knew you would be like this, Grandpa shouldn't have soft-heartedly promised you that day and helped you keep him."
Lingling's face turned pale, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
The old man continued: "Anyway, remember what I said. It is impossible for you and him, so don't think too much. Tomorrow, I will send someone to send him out."
"Grandpa!" Lingling suddenly raised her head, looking at her grandfather in disbelief.
The old man stared, "Look at what I am doing? He has almost recuperated in the past few days. Although Zongyuan never restricts the entry and exit of outsiders, the Zerg race does not communicate with outsiders. Let him stay for a few days. It’s already been done with kindness.”
"But, his injury hasn't completely healed yet!" Lingling said anxiously.
But the old man said directly: "I think if you keep him here, I'm afraid his injury will heal, but your heart will be lost."
Lingling bit her lip, eyes filled with mist.
The old man shook his head helplessly, turned and left.
Watching the old man leave, Lingling took a deep breath, then turned and looked out the window. She murmured to herself, "Although you haven't said a word to me in the past few days, and you always look cold, I still don't want you to leave. But, grandpa is right, you can't stay in the abyss of worms for too long Are you willing to leave with me?"
Si Mo outside did not hear her whisper.
I'm afraid I heard it, but I don't necessarily care.
At this time, his eyes fell on the palace bell tightly tied on his belt, and he frowned slightly. There seemed to be a little doubt in Amber's eyes, but also a little thought.
...
In the worm abyss, there was a light yellow smoke everywhere.
The world under the cracks of the ground also has mountains and waters, grasslands and Gobi. How big is the wormhole? 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 in her eyes.
"Didn't you mean the worm abyss? Why didn't you see even a single worm when you came in for a long time?" Mu Qingge asked suddenly.
Gu Ya explained, "If we see bugs, I'm afraid we will encounter Zerg people."
"Zerg race." Mu Qingge murmured in a low voice.
"Although the Zerg race doesn't like to fight, they are very xenophobic. This kind of xenophobia is not just against outsiders, but against all people 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 insects they control. Perhaps they are affected by the natural hostility of some insects, so that their branches are also very closed. There is nothing wrong with each other, but if other branches break into their territory, it will lead to fights. Of course, there are branches that are repelling, and there are branches that are more 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 worm abyss?" Mu Qingge asked.
Gu Ya replied: "Outsiders... In fact, people from the Zerg race understand that only the gods and demons can enter the ancient worm abyss. After all, the worm abyss is on the dividing line between the gods and demons. .For the gods and demons, they all adopt an attitude of not approaching or provoking. As long as we enter the worm abyss, as long as we don't touch their interests and don't enter their territory at will, they will not care."
Mu Qingge frowned slightly, feeling a little enlightened in her heart.
Perhaps, it is because of the special environment of Zongyuan and the customs of the people that it is extremely difficult to obtain information.
"Princess, we are here!" Gu Ye reminded.
At this time, Mu Qingge noticed that there were already two hundred demon guards standing beside the reeds beside the river beach.
"Subordinates 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 doesn't have to be tempted anymore, and she doesn't have to do anything to show her identity.
"Get up. You have worked hard during this period, and when the king is found, he will reward you for your merits." Mu Qingge said.
"It's the duty of the subordinates to devote themselves to the king and the princess." Demon Wei replied.
Mu Qingge nodded imperceptibly, and said to them: "Since we have already reconciled, let's lead the way and find your king."
"Yes! Princess."
Two hundred demon guards joined the team and led Mu Qingge towards the small tribe where the news came.
The location they chose was not too far from that small tribe.
After a while, Mu Qingge saw the outlines of some buildings from a distance. Those buildings are very simple and look very unpretentious.
When he came outside the tribe, far away from the stone tablet that says "no strangers are allowed to enter", Gu Ye took a step forward and shouted at the opposite side: "I heard that your tribe rescued a person a few days ago. This person may be my master. Please help me!" The tribe is convenient, let us confirm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingge heard a rustling sound from the ground.
She looked down and felt her scalp go numb. In the soft sand, dense worms crawled out, and quickly moved to the sides, giving way to the tribe.
These countless bugs, separated from the two sides, looked at them like a line of soldiers.
Gu Ye looked back and explained to Mu Qingge in a low voice, "The people inside let us in. Princess, remember, no matter whether there is a king inside or not, don't mess with anything. These bugs can attach to any utensils."
Mu Qingge nodded slowly, expressing her understanding.
Mu Qingge took the magic guard along the way out of the way and entered the tribe. As soon as they stepped into the doorway symbolizing the tribe, an old man appeared in front of them.
"Come with me." The old man spoke to them with a cane, and then turned to lead the way without any greetings.
Mu Qingge frowned, and followed behind the old man...
