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

Page 257

Yuebai hadn't expected that his words would provoke such disgust from everyone. He was truly anxious; if he couldn't fulfill his wish, he truly wouldn't be able to see his mother again. "Hehe, Miss Yuebai, I just want to ask you one question. You'd better tell me the truth: if you drink my blood, will there be any danger for either of us?"

Liu Ziming's expression was extremely solemn. He had never been so serious before. He really wanted to know if there would be any danger if Yuebai absorbed some of his blood. After all, he didn't have a deep relationship with Yuebai, and he didn't want to risk his life.

Seeing the serious expression on Liu Ziming's face, everyone fell silent, because they knew that although Liu Ziming was a bit eccentric, he still knew how to conduct himself properly.

"Hehe, I really didn't lie to you. This ancient book clearly states that if I absorb a portion of your blood, you can gain the recognition of the entire Elf race. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation? Moreover, you can fully utilize the resources of the entire Elf race to enhance your strength and build your own powerful force. Isn't that even better?"

When Yuebai finished speaking, he seemed particularly anxious. He took out an ancient book that had turned yellow from his bosom and handed it to everyone so that they could see that he had not deceived anyone.

"Since there's no danger, I agree to let you drink some of my blood, but I don't want you to suck it directly with your mouth; I can't accept that myself."

When Liu Ziming finished speaking, he didn't hesitate at all. He took out a sharp knife from his pocket and slashed his arm hard.

"You stinky spider, what are you doing? Are you really courting death?"

Because the slime discovered that Liu Ziming had actually cut his own arm with a sharp knife, and large amounts of blood were gushing out of his arm. This guy was fearless and used a belt to hold it up.

"Here, this blood should be enough for you to absorb?"

Although everyone looked at Liu Ziming with some confusion as to why he would do such a thing, he still did it anyway.

Looking at the fresh blood that Liu Ziming handed over, Yuebai's heart was filled with too many temptations, but seeing that everyone's eyes were somewhat unfriendly, he also felt a sense of fear, after all, this practice was somewhat bloody.

Chapter 347 Bizarre System Rewards

However, just as everyone was looking at Liu Ziming with some confusion, Liu Ziming completed all the actions in one go, handing the blood directly to Yuebai without any hesitation. "Thank you, thank you so much!"

Yuebai kept thanking him without hesitation. She picked up the belt and brought it to her mouth, sucking large gulps of Liu Ziming's fresh blood, a particularly gruesome sight. "My god, isn't this girl a bit too perverted? How can she actually drink that? How could she even think of such a thing?"

The old Flame Dragon looked deeply troubled, watching Yuebai relentlessly guzzle Liu Ziming's blood with obvious disgust, even though it was blood Liu Ziming had personally given to Yuebai. "My god, this guy is too bloodthirsty! He can drink human blood directly! Is the daughter of the Demon King's City Lord really that terrifying?"

"Heh, I knew this guy wasn't a kind person all along, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with such a bizarre idea. Only a fool like Liu Ziming would believe it and fall for it?"

"Stop talking. Since Liu Ziming has agreed to do this, is there anything we can do? As long as nothing unexpected happens to him, perhaps I can understand his thoughts?" Although Yuebai got the blood he wanted, everyone seemed particularly disgusted with him.

"You stinky spider, tell me quickly, are you reacting or not? If you are, speak up now, or we will definitely not let this guy get away with it!"

To everyone's surprise, the hot-tempered Slime Mirror actually helped Liu Ziming up, his face showing great concern and fear. "That's right, that's right, tell me quickly, is there anything wrong with your body? If so, tell me right away, maybe this guy can help you while he's here?" The Cat Angel also seemed very concerned, looking at Liu Ziming with an anxious expression.

A bitter and helpless smile appeared on Liu Ziming's face, because at this moment he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if something precious of his had been stolen by someone else.

Before Liu Ziming could react, the system in his mind suddenly popped up, startling him. "Congratulations, host, for gaining the approval of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, and receiving a system reward!"

Liu Ziming never dreamed that he could completely merge with the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, and even receive a system reward. This reward is too bizarre!

"Because the host has gained the approval of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, he can use the resources of the entire elven race, and his own strength can reach the level of an elven king, making him unparalleled in the world!"

Upon hearing the rewards offered by the system, Liu Ziming was utterly speechless. Yuebai had previously mentioned that if he could help her, he would receive these rewards. This system was truly bizarre, completely belated and just a bootlicker.

"Can I ask for a different reward? Since it's a reward, I don't have the right to choose."

Although Liu Ziming was speechless inside, he still made a request to the system, wanting to get what he wanted.

Unexpectedly, the system remained silent for a while before resurfacing in his mind.

"According to the system's requirements, the array does not have the authority to change rewards, so you can only accept it? However, the host can choose the best reward according to their own needs, which needs to be redeemed with completed task points. I wonder if the host would like to choose?"

When Liu Ziming heard that he could choose the best reward method, he agreed without any hesitation.

"I agree! My request is very simple: all my friends' levels in the Monster Forest will not be suppressed, and they can at least recover to level 8 or above. Is that too much to ask?" Upon hearing Liu Ziming's request, the system agreed without hesitation, but it also gave the conditions for completing the task.

"The system agrees to the host's request, but the host must gain the approval of the entire elven race; otherwise, all system rewards will be revoked."

Liu Ziming was completely taken aback by the system's bizarre request, but he still nodded in agreement. He didn't care whether the reward was taken back or not. "Okay, no problem at all, but if you want to take back my reward, you'd better have the ability to do so?"

The system was completely taken aback that Liu Ziming would actually oppose it, but being a mechanical system, it remained silent without any reaction. "You little punk, I can handle you! I can do whatever I want. As for your reward, I don't care at all; it's not even worth a damn!"

Liu Ziming harbored a cunning and ruthless side towards the system, but he didn't realize that his every move and thought was completely under the system's control; he just wasn't aware of it. "Why aren't you saying anything? Is my concern unnecessary?"

Liu Ziming looked like he was in a daze, which puzzled everyone. Could it be that he was really hurt?

The Slime Mirror, known for its fiery temper, kicked Liu Ziming hard in the butt again, looking extremely angry and howling loudly. "What are you doing? Why do you keep hitting and kicking me? Am I your punching bag?"

Liu Ziming had no idea that his conversation with the system had just led him into a deep state of thought. These guys thought he had encountered some kind of problem, and the Slime Mirror had actually kicked him hard in the butt again. He felt particularly miserable.

"Haha, that's great! It seems you're perfectly fine, otherwise your brain would have broken down long ago?"

Despite Liu Ziming's complaints, Slime Jing heard them, but he was secretly pleased. As long as this guy didn't cause any problems, he didn't care about anything else. "You stinky spider, always scaring us for no reason, is that fun?"

Seeing that she was being ignored by Liu Ziming, the cat angel crossed her arms, looking particularly unhappy, and muttered to herself.

Chapter 348 I will keep my promise

"Hehe, I'm really sorry. I don't know what happened to me just now, I seemed to fall into a deep thought, like I was asleep, and made everyone worry?"

Liu Ziming didn't want to provoke these kids, and an awkward expression appeared on his face. He knew he couldn't possibly handle their situation, and if things went wrong, he'd be ganged up on, which he didn't want to be.

"At least you have a conscience, which is something we should all worry about. If you continue like this, we're all ignoring you. Don't think that just because you have a map to the Warcraft Forest, we'll care about you. We can still get out of the Warcraft Forest and improve our strength without you. It's just a small game instance, what's the big deal?"

Slime Mirror, in an arrogant manner, stood with his arms crossed, staring at Liu Ziming without any restraint, and even roared loudly. Seeing Slime Mirror's fierce appearance, Liu Ziming could only remain silent, because he knew that anything he said at this moment would be futile, and this guy simply wouldn't listen.

"Hehe, that's wonderful. Miss Yuebai, you promised before that as long as we can help you, we can gain the recognition of the entire elven race and use the resources of the entire elven race. Is your word still valid now?" It has to be said that the old guy Flame Dragon is quite shrewd. He was afraid that Yuebai would go back on her word after receiving his help, so he had to block all his paths and not give him any chance to object.

"Flame Dragon, what nonsense are you spouting, you old codger? Moon White is the daughter of the Demon King's City Lord, and also a princess of the Elf race, now and forever. Does he care about your little request? You're seriously underestimating Princess Moon White!" The Flame Dragon never dreamed that the Giant Ape would secretly help him with words at this moment. He glanced at the Giant Ape and inwardly gave him a thumbs up, thinking that this old guy had done a very reliable job.

Yuebai was such a clever and intelligent girl, how could she not understand the meaning behind the two elders' words? Without any hesitation, she spoke up directly.

"Hehe, what I said before still stands, seniors. Now that I have gained the recognition of the entire elven race, I will keep my promise. You can all rest assured."

Everyone looked extremely happy when they heard Yuebai say that. Their expressions towards Princess Yuebai changed, and they thought the girl was really too beautiful and lovable.

That's just how people are; their minds are always fickle, especially these guys who have slowly taken on human form.

“Princess Moon White, remember what you said today. We will keep it firmly in our hearts, because we are now allies. Your blood and that stinking spider Liu Ziming’s blood flow with the same thing. Think about what I’m saying, and you should understand.”

Despite hearing that Princess Yuebai wouldn't go back on her promise, Slime Mirror's fiery personality wouldn't allow him to stick to it. He felt he had to voice his true thoughts, both to warn and deter Yuebai. "Yes, yes, yes! Slime Mirror is absolutely right. If you don't keep your promise, be careful, we won't let you off the hook!"

The little seven-colored deer was actually waving its little fists, as if it was showing off to Princess Moon White. If it didn't keep its promise, Princess Moon White would definitely attack.

"Hehe, none of your worries are a problem. Don't worry, since Yuebai has gained the approval of the Elven race, those issues are nothing to him." Liu Ziming saw that the Slime Mirror and the Seven-Colored Deer were constantly threatening and warning Yuebai, and he felt it was completely unnecessary, because the entire Elven race had already accepted Yuebai. "Don't worry, let's not stay here. Since I've promised everyone to leave this Misty Forest, I'll keep my word."

Yuebai's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at everyone, smiled, and walked forward. Everyone knew this guy was going to lead them out of the Misty Forest. (Requesting flowers.)

"You'd better not get any funny ideas. We're not stupid. If you do, you'd better watch out or we'll smash you into a meat patty."

Although Yuebai and Liu Ziming were no longer worried about their previous promise, Slime Jing's personality meant he was still somewhat uneasy, muttering to himself with a serious expression. "Hehe, everyone, don't worry. We just need to pass through this cave to reach the Elf race's encampment. When we get there, you'll see if I've kept my promise."

Having achieved his goal, Yuebai paid no heed to anyone's threats and warnings. If it were him, he would have done the same.

"...Is there no other way out besides going through this cave?"

Looking at the somewhat deep and dark cave before them, everyone seemed a little worried. After all, the future was uncertain, and no one wanted to take any more risks. "Don't worry, although this cave is a bit deep and dark, there's no danger at all. I've already checked it out."

Hearing the worried looks on everyone's faces, Yue Bai didn't hesitate and went in first. If he didn't scout ahead, these people wouldn't believe him. "Everyone, we still need to be careful. Although Princess Yuebai said there's nothing wrong, this cave seems a bit strange to me. We must be cautious."

At this moment, the old giant ape's expression was extremely solemn, because he could clearly sense through his own perception that this cave was definitely not as safe as Yuebai had said, so he kept reminding everyone.

"Hehe, don't worry, Elder Giant Ape. Even if this thing is dangerous, we'll smash it to pieces. We absolutely won't let those guys' schemes succeed so easily!" The Slime Mirror patted its chest, appearing very confident, as if it were the most powerful person in the world, acting all high and mighty.

Chapter 349 The Ability to Predict Danger

"Hehe, everyone should still be careful. Since the giant ape elder has already given a warning, there's no need for us to be careless. Wouldn't that seem a bit particularly foolish?"

Slime Mirror had no idea that everyone had entered the cave, and that Liu Ziming was actually making fun of him. He just rolled his eyes at him, looking quite playful.

However, the slime rolled its eyes at Liu Ziming, which everyone saw as a flirtatious wink, full of affection. "Heh, you two are really interesting. You're always bickering when you're together, like you really enjoy it?"

Everyone understood what the Slime Mirror was really thinking, but the Fire Dragon Elder seemed rather mischievous at this moment, directly teasing the Slime Mirror's fiery personality. "Fire Dragon Elder, how can you act like this? It seems a bit disrespectful to your elders."

The old Flame Dragon hadn't expected the Slime Cleanse to have such a fiery temper, showing no mercy and directly retorting. His expression was clearly displeased. "Everyone be careful. I have a bad feeling. This cave is definitely not what that Moonwhite guy described. I sense a dangerous atmosphere."

Just as the old Flame Dragon was jokingly commenting on the Slime Mirror's fiery personality, no one expected that Liu Ziming would actually issue a danger warning, and his expression was particularly serious. "Holy crap, thanks to that stinky spider's reminder, look, something really is different on the ground!"

"My goodness, I've been listening to you muttering and rambling on and on, and you haven't even noticed the changes in your surroundings?" "My god, there isn't a single giant footprint here, it looks kind of creepy?"

When Liu Ziming warned everyone of the danger, they all looked puzzled, glancing around repeatedly. Sure enough, they noticed something unusual. "Don't worry, everyone. It's just the footprints left by a giant scorpion. It's not as terrifying as you're making it out to be."

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Yuebai turned around and explained with a smile that he didn't think it was a big deal and that he was used to it.

However, Yuebai never expected that if she didn't explain, things would be fine, but once she started explaining, everyone's expressions became even more unsettled.

"My goodness, if these are footprints left by a scorpion, how big must that scorpion be? It must be at least tens of meters long, right?"

"That's right, that's right. Look, each of his steps is over ten meters long. It's really terrifying. This house is actually giving off an evil smell, making people feel uneasy." "Look, what is that pile of dark stuff? Could it be the excrement this guy left behind? It's so disgusting!"

In fact, no one expected that Liu Ziming's use of the system's exchange had rapidly improved everyone's cognitive abilities, and their ability to foresee danger had never been so sensitive. "Everyone, don't panic. This guy isn't in the cave right now, so we're probably not in danger. Let's get out of here quickly," the Flame Dragon Elder said seriously, abandoning his mischievous attitude and wagging his long tail.

"Ahem, that old guy Flame Dragon's warning was very necessary. If we don't get out of this cave soon, we might really be in danger. I can already smell the danger. Don't you guys feel it too?"

Everyone took the giant ape elder's words very seriously, constantly sensing their surroundings. Sure enough, they discovered that their ability to sense danger had increased rapidly, and they all looked quite surprised. "How could this be? Has our ability been unsuppressed? Our levels have returned to their previous state, but our ability to sense danger wasn't this strong before!" The seven-colored deer kept patting its chest, looking extremely excited. After all, being able to foresee danger was a really good thing for it.

"Haha, it seems that the giant ape senior's reminder was really necessary. I also feel that my ability to foresee danger has greatly improved. This scorpion is definitely not that simple. It exudes an evil and terrifying aura, and it is nothing like what that guy Yuebai said."

Slime Mirror, with his fiery and straightforward personality, directly expressed his inner thoughts. And looking at Yuebai, he was genuinely unsettled. He felt that Yuebai was deceiving everyone, and he would absolutely not let this guy get away with it…

"It's really not like what you imagine. This cave is inhabited by many enormous monsters you call them, but to me they're just tiny insects. Are you all that afraid?" Yuebai, the daughter of the Demon King's city lord and a princess of the elves, couldn't understand the astonished expressions on everyone's faces. Could a scorpion tens of meters long really be so terrifying and frightening? "Heh, if we believed you, we'd be fools! A giant scorpion tens of meters long—if it doesn't pose a threat to us, then what is the real threat? Is it you?" Before anyone could expect the fiery Slime Mirror to speak, the Cat Angel interjected, her expression clearly displeased. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Because what Yuebai was most eager to do right now was to go to the Elf 1.9 clan's encampment to see his mother, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. As for what these people thought, he didn't care at all now. "Listen to this, everyone! Listen to this! This guy has finally shown his ugly face and true colors. He's getting what he wants and now he's going to abandon us. It's really despicable!"

Upon hearing Princess Moonwhite's words, the Slime Mirror's expression immediately turned displeased, and he prepared to attack. If this guy were to try and leave now, he wouldn't hesitate to strike. "Heh, although I sensed danger, perhaps Princess Moonwhite's words are entirely true, or maybe we're overreacting?"

Chapter 350 There are principles to being a good person.

When the Slime Mirror members heard Liu Ziming say that he was biased towards Yuebai, they all looked very dissatisfied and angry.

"You stinky spider, you big fool, only you would believe this vixen's nonsense. I knew he never had any good intentions from the beginning, and we actually followed his evil plan step by step. Now he has finally shown his ugly face. Do you still believe him?"

Princess Moonlight had no idea that simply wanting to see her mother, whom she hadn't seen for years, would cause her so much trouble. Her expression was one of utter embarrassment. "Since everyone distrusts me so much, I see no need for me to stay here. Why don't you all stay here and discuss that giant scorpion?"

Without any hesitation, Princess Moon White of the Elf Clan gritted her teeth, turned around and left immediately, moving so fast that she didn't have time to react to anyone.

"What did I tell you? What did I tell you? This guy, 28, definitely has some ulterior motive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run away in such a hurry, leaving us no time to react. He's really too cunning!"

As Princess Moonlight's figure grew smaller and smaller, Slime Mirror, with his fiery temper, pointed his finger as if the volcano in his heart was about to erupt.

"Ahem, Slime Mirror, you don't need to act like you're going crazy. Perhaps Liu Ziming has already thought this through, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have let Yuebai off the hook. What are you worried about?"

The giant ape elder appeared remarkably composed, knowing that if he spoke at this moment, perhaps only the fiery-tempered Rem Mirror could tolerate it; if Liu Ziming said anything, he would surely erupt immediately. "Giant Ape Elder, it's not that I'm disrespecting you, it's all Liu Ziming's fault for being too naive and kind-hearted. How could she possibly trust that vixen Yuebai, the daughter of the Demon King's Castle Lord, putting us all in danger?" In fact, not only Rem Mirror thought this way, but everyone else did too. They felt that Liu Ziming's move seemed ill-considered and foolish; how could she so easily trust Yuebai?

In fact, Liu Ziming knew that not only did the slime not understand him, but everyone looked at him differently, as if he were really a fool. But what could he do? He had made the choice. "Don't worry, maybe after this guy leaves, we'll have a greater opportunity to improve our strength?"

There was no other way, so Liu Ziming briefly explained his promise in the system to everyone, but he didn't mention anything about the system. He didn't want everyone to think he was a monster.

"Heh, I hope what you're saying is true. If that's the case, that would be wonderful. At least our abilities could be enhanced again, which is truly a good thing in today's world." The old Flame Dragon wagged his long tail, his expression quite peculiar, looking at Liu Ziming as if he were a delicious meal, wishing he could swallow him whole. "Spider Boss, have you thought of a better way? Or did you already plan this all along? You didn't even take the current situation to heart?"

Looking at Liu Ziming's calm expression, the giant ape senior believed that this young man must have planned it all along, otherwise he wouldn't be acting this way. However, he still asked with some unease.

Hearing the giant ape's words, Liu Ziming had no choice but to briefly explain his plan to everyone. After all, there was danger at hand, and he didn't want everyone to needlessly throw their lives away, as that would contradict his initial idea. "Ahem, actually, I didn't deceive anyone, and Yuebai didn't deceive us either. He really just wants to see his mother, it's that simple. But after all, this is the Misty Forest, which is not something he can control or manipulate. However, to him, the magical beasts here are like tiny insects, but to us, they are all magical beasts without any difference?"
