“Reply my question before I kill you.” The demon came close to Gu Mengmeng, opening its mouth to reveal two venomous fangs.
That made Gu Mengmeng even more afraid, a damned human mouth cannot possibly open that big!
“Mi… mimimi… mighty King have mercy.” Gu Mengmeng said while stuttering.
The demon closed his mouth, looking at Gu Mengmeng with interest as he grazed his icy cold finger across her face again, talking to himself, “Not as pretty as her… but still considered pretty interesting.”
Gu Mengmeng completely did not understand what that demon was saying, only looking at him with horror and guard.
The demon asked, “You’re called Gu Mengmeng?”
Gu Mengmeng wanted to nod, but found her neck incapable of movement. Afraid to test the demon’s patience, she spontaneously responded with a monosyllable “Hmm”.
The demon went, “Think of a nickname for me, one that’s different from everyone else.”
Gu Mengmeng stared at the demon with her eyes wide open, “Mi… mi… mighty King have mercy.”
The demon’s face went cold, “You want me to call you “Mighty King have mercy”?”
Gu Mengmeng, “Ah?”
The demon let go, his pupils turning vertical in front of Gu Mengmeng, “I will only count to three, if you can’t think, I’ll eat you.”
Gu Mengmeng had a full face of confusion, not understanding what was going on.
Although females were extremely precious in the beast world, at that moment, she had zero suspicion that that chap would swallow her whole after counting to three.
Hence, Gu Mengmeng’s brain started to activate a magical mode, speedily generating in the midst of the murkiness in her bain, and activating the peak of The Brain mode following the demon’s countdown.
Demon, “One.”
Gu Mengmeng, “…”
Demon, “Three!”
Gu Mengmeng, “Twomeng!”
The demon nodded, repeating, “Twomeng…”
Gu Mengmeng almost bit off her own tongue. She wanted to ask “Two?”, but because her mouth moved the wrong way, she shouted “Twomeng” instead. However, seeing how the demon seemed pretty satisfied with that title, Gu Mengmeng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like one can easily escape danger if they just gave anything a shot.
The demon, “Twomeng.”
Gu Mengmeng replied bitterly, “Eh…”
The demon grinned, seeming to find it amusing, then called again, “Twomeng.”
Gu Mengmeng, “Eh…”
That game lasted for at least two hours, which made Gu Mengmeng feel disillusioned, as if she was a pet dog being trained to remember its own name.
Two hours later, the demon finally seemed bored by the “If I Call You Once Will You Dare To Answer?” game, so he moved his body, using his tail to move Gu Mengmeng outside.
It was only then that Gu Mengmeng slowly regained her senses from her state of fear, beginning to make sense of her surroundings.
There was a soft sound of water dripping at the gloomy, humid cave. There was no wind, the air was moist and suffocating, if not for inheriting Elvis’ night vision abilities, Gu Mengmeng had no doubt that she would have been blind as a bat.
There were numerous dripstones in the shape of water drops on the top of the cave, round and shiny. Nature’s divine workmanship is lofty, making people feel in awe.
The sudden piercing light made Gu Mengmeng squint in discomfort. She wanted to block it with her hand, but it was a pity because she could not even lift her finger.
The demon moved further before finally stopping by the lake. Looking at Gu Mengmeng, he was rather impatient, but still picked up the tree branches, trying to start a fire.
Gu Mengmeng was rather alarmed. Isn’t there nobody in the beast world who knows how to start a fire? Even the tribesmen from the previous messengers tribe Sauder could not manage to, how did this demon do it?
