Demon vine?

Nan Ming frowned a little unhappily, this kind of old, tough and tasteless thing was not in his daily recipe, except for the occasional use of grinding teeth, there was nothing else to look forward to.

Since it's not delicious, it's too lazy to be pleasant.

"To live or to die?"

"Live. ”

The demon vine was also very concise and to the point, but it was more satisfying to him.

So he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "How many layers are there in this world?"

Nanming also discovered that there was something in this small world. The place where the Shuofeng Desert is located is only the surface of the world, this swampy land is the second layer, and the ancient well in the camp is the passage connecting the two worlds.

As for whether there are more layers below, he doesn't know, so he asks.

But the demon vine shook in horror - well, it didn't have a head, it could only shake the rattan: "I don't know if it's small...... I really don't know, I just know that there are many layers down there, and there are countless of them. ”

"The small ones are just the scum mixed in the top layers, and I really don't know what is going on...... it says humbly.

It tells the truth.

These words made Nan Ming's eyes light up, and he licked his lips unconsciously.

In this way, isn't this small world a miniature version of a mille-feuille lunch box? There are countless layers of worlds...... Isn't it just an endless meal?

It's a complex and ingenious world.

Could this be a natural formation, most likely a nest designed and built by some ants, or simply a product of their death?

Nan Ming remembered that there had been some epochs before, and it was very popular to cultivate some inner heaven and earth, dantian small universe, and knowledge of the sea god kingdom or something, and it was a bit similar to the world in his womb.

The corpses left behind after their death often evolve into some tattered worlds, and then are used by later ants as a map to find secrets and obtain the so-called great opportunity. There are also some who are not dead, holding their breath and waiting for hundreds of thousands of years, just to wait for a chance to be resurrected......

However, the original owner of this world is afraid that it has long been cold.

Seeing that Nan Ming stood quietly without speaking, the demon vine cowered and lay at his feet, and carefully said in a flattering tone: "King, do you want to go to the next layer, the small one can show you the way......"

"No, I don't. ”

Nan Ming waved his hand and stopped it.

If it was really an astronomical number of layers, I don't know how long he would have to explore, he wouldn't have that much to spare.

He considered whether to swallow this whole small world into his belly, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't fish with all his might. Besides, you can't taste anything when you swallow dates.

Looking at the human cocoon hanging from the dead tree, he was a little curious: "What are these things for?"

"Small...... The small one is going to have a banquet, and a few friends are coming to eat, and these are the ingredients that are prepared. ”

Speaking of this, the demon vine seemed a little embarrassed, and several vine tips rolled up shyly, "It's just coarse tea and light rice, if the king likes it, please feel free to enjoy it." ”

"No, I don't eat these. ”

Nanming politely declined its gracious invitation.

With great interest, he poked a hole in a man's cocoon, which was smooth to the touch, and his fingers were stained with a scarlet, wine-scented viscous liquid, like wine made from flesh and blood.

I licked it, and it tasted pretty good.

He felt a wincing gaze fall on him, and he turned his head to see the blue eyes hanging upside down in a human cocoon.

This woman's face has long been as white as paper.

Because she finally realized that there seemed to be no one here who was normal except herselfβ€”no, not even human!

Watching Nan Ming walk over step by step, fear also spread into her heart little by little. She was terrified, but she couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope...... After all, we know each other......

Perhaps, he will let himself go?

A strong desire to survive flashed in Qing Tong's eyes.

"Phew!"

Black-red blood streaked through her skull, causing her mind to linger forever on the last moment.

"......" Demon Vine glanced at him fearfully, not daring to ask anything.

The black and red blood faded, and Nan Ming's hand changed back to the appearance of a normal person. He gently covered the woman's dead eyes and said softly, "Don't be afraid, so that there will be no more pain." ”

After all, he is an acquaintance who is pleasing to the eye, and giving her a painless relief is his greatest tenderness.

Realizing that this woman seemed to have some unclear entanglements with the king, the demon vine on the side suddenly fell into panic. It wondered if the countdown to its life had begun...... At this moment, the voice of Nanming came from my ears.

"Demon vine, what's your name?"

"Gu Kui, Xiao's real name is Gu Kui. It replied with ecstaty.

- The king asked his name, did he want to take him as his younger brother, did he not have to die?

"Ashes? That's a good name. ”

Nan Shen bowed his head in approval.

The name of the nightmare cannot be described in words. The voice that speaks of it will be distorted, the words that write it will be erased, and only those who are also beyond the epoch can truly know their true names.

With this real name, Nan Ming can summon it at any time, and as for the pronunciation, it doesn't matter.

Gu Kui is considered to be the coordinates he left in this world, in case he can't find it back in the future.

In the past few days, he has eaten a full meal, and he does not need to eat again for the time being. According to the usual habits, Nanming should find a place to sleep well, maybe for thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years, and then yawn out to forage for food.

Now, though, he's a "human......

It's time to go back.

"Do you still have that ghost boy?" he asked again before leaving.

β€œ...... Without. ”

As if hearing some kind of appetite, Gu Kui was a little frightened, "The little one let the ghost boy raise some living people on the first layer, and by the way, capture the creatures that strayed into this place. It's young, and its brain is not good, so I didn't expect to provoke the king, please don't blame it. ”

"I don't blame you. I just thought it was weird and delicious, and I wanted to find a few more to try...... If not, forget it. ”

There was some disappointment in his voice that could not be concealed.

That's right......

Nan Ming suddenly slapped his head: "Look at my memory." ”

Gu Kui glanced at him inexplicably. Although it doesn't have eyes.

"Find me someone more...... No, find a nightmare. ”

He finally remembered the little guy who had seduced him and tried to absorb his own mind. I've been eating so much in the past few days that I've forgotten about it.

Traced back to this world, he lost that connection. Although they remember each other's breath, slowly searching for them in this mille-feuille-like world is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

At this time, it shows the importance of having a little brother of the head snake.

Gu Kui respectfully expressed his willingness to do his part for the king, and Nan Ming was not polite, and his fingertips touched his body a little, and he passed on the captured breath.

The aura connection between the nightmare and the nightmare is extremely strong, as long as there is a contact, even if it is thousands of miles away, you can roughly sense the location of the other party. It's just that while sensing the other party, the other party can also faintly detect the prying eyes from the same kind.

This is Gu Kui's territory, and the nightmares that infested several layers nearby are under its nose, leaving a lot of traces.

After a while, it gave Nan Ming a result.

"On the seventh floor?"

That's a bit far......
