Chapter 1658 Was he kidnapped?
Gobelin, who called himself Arost, was kicked so hard he tumbled over several times and rolled a long way away.
Having finally regained his composure, the first thing he uttered was an extremely obsequious flattery:
"Lord Kil'jaeden, what excellent footwork!"
Sun Ying frowned, and that unreliable feeling from before returned to her mind.
Although it is common knowledge that lower-level monsters fawn over higher-level monsters.
But isn't this Arost a bit too obsequious?
This is hardly the kind of flattery Gobelin knows.
It's obvious that the flatterer looks a lot like Gobelins!
I never realized that Gobelin, such a low-level monster, was so good at flattering people...
"Heh, among all the lowly and filthy scum, you're the one who's best at talking."
Kil'jaeden spoke with disdain, but the smile on his face betrayed his truest thoughts.
"Alright, I won't waste any more words with you."
"Come over here and get to know this lady. She is a distinguished guest of our Demon King!"
"Now she wants to travel around the Holy Land, to see the scenery that she has never seen in the outside world, and to learn about the customs and culture of our demon race."
"Find someone to be her guide, and make sure they treat her well!"
"Otherwise, you know what will happen!"
After saying that, Kil'jaeden lazily released his aura.
Although for those low-level monsters who obey orders, there is absolutely no need for this.
But he still wanted to do it.
Not for anything else,
Just to show off and have some fun.
The lower-level monsters also cooperated by showing signs of fear.
Aroste, who was kicked away, reacted in an exaggerated way, just like a stage actor who got into character and started acting without caring about anyone else.
Kil'jaeden departed satisfied amidst the boundless praise.
Sun Ying was left alone, bewildered in the wind.
"They just dumped me on a bunch of low-level monsters like that? Isn't that a bit too hasty..."
Sun Ying looked at the group of Gobelins waving at Kil'jaeden's retreating figure and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
But then again.
That's not bad either.
The fact that neither the Demon King Qin nor the high-ranking demon Kil'jaeden took her, an outsider, seriously actually made her feel quite safe.
It's a pity about that mythical quality item, the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform.
Once it was taken by the Demon King Qin, it's unlikely to have a chance to get it back.
"Forget it, we can't even find Li Yun now, why should I worry about his things... I should take care of myself first..."
Sun Ying murmured silently, trying to comfort herself.
The Goebels watched Kil'jaeden's figure disappear from sight, and finally lowered their waving right hands.
This did not surprise Sun Ying.
After seeing off their superior, these low-level monsters returned to their usual listless state.
He showed a little more respect, glancing at this 'distinguished guest' a few times.
Those who went their own way returned to the dilapidated, crooked buildings to do what they loved.
They don't take her seriously at all!
Apart from Arost, who initially fawned over Kil'jaeden.
"Honorable lady, guest from afar, Aroste is pleased to be your guide. Where would you like to visit first?"
"Is it the vast, boundless wilderness plains, or the magnificent Howling Canyon? Of course, the Rotten Swamp is also a good place, provided you like its ever-present stench of decay..."
“Uh…” Faced with this long list of unfamiliar place names, Sun Ying hesitated again.
She didn't know where she was going.
Because wandering around was just an excuse that came up on casually.
The reason she entered the Demon Realm was entirely because of her love for Evelina!
Now Evelina and Li Yun have both disappeared.
She was like a swift insectoid who had suddenly lost its target, completely unsure of what to do next.
Arost was extremely perceptive; seeing the conflicted look on Sun Ying's face, he immediately spoke up:
“My esteemed lady, if you are unsure about where you wish to go, Arost is willing to offer you some small suggestions.”
"Perhaps we can follow the Weeping Path towards the Great Wilderness, where the scenery is the best and it best represents the Holy Land."
"After that, whichever direction you want to go, we can go there immediately, except for Howling Canyon."
"Because if you want to get to Howling Canyon from here, you have to go in the exact opposite direction."
"Uh, I see..." Sun Ying was worried about her future, so she didn't really listen to what Arost was saying.
Seeing that there was a direction, he readily agreed:
"Alright then, you can arrange it as you see fit."
“No problem, Your Excellency,” Arost responded readily.
Gobelin's enthusiastic performance subtly eased the Eldar huntress's anxiety.
For a fleeting moment, she even had the illusion that 'she could handle all challenges even without Li Yun's presence.'
then,
Sun Ying then discovered that she had been 'abducted'!
Gobelins, who called himself Arost, first led her on a rather long journey.
There were narrow paths for walking, as well as main roads for galloping using the unique transportation of the Demon Realm, the two-headed demon rhinoceros.
They passed through medium to large tribes where low-level monsters gathered, and also brushed past territories ruled by some high-level monsters.
After wandering around for a while, seemingly letting some of the demons in the Demon Realm know where she, an outsider, was headed straight towards the Great Wilderness.
Once he had faded from the sight of the monsters and was no longer in the public eye, Arost lied and claimed that he knew a shortcut that would allow him to reach his next destination, the Swamp of Corruption, much faster.
He then led Sun Ying into a cave.
In that not-so-large underground space, Arrod pulled out a lightning-shaped, purplish-black dagger from under his tattered clothes that could barely cover his body.
With a light slash, a narrow slit was carved into the air in front of him.
Perhaps he felt that a low-ranking Gobelins posed no threat to him.
Or perhaps the other party entered first, and their honesty didn't seem like they were playing tricks.
all in all,
Sun Ying, caught off guard, followed him inside.
When her vision returned to normal, she found that the dry rocks and sand around her had completely disappeared.
Instead, there was rather humid air and a whole bunch of plants that looked like they had an excess of nutrients, but whose names I didn't know.
It's like coming directly from the Gobi Desert to the primeval jungle!
At first, Sun Ying thought this was some unknown path in the Demon Realm, and curiously asked Arost in front of her.
As a result, the other party completely abandoned their previous fawning and ingratiating behavior, and their tone revealed only equal respect.
Her entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.
No longer as lowly as a boneless maggot.
Instead, they became calm and composed, as if they had something to rely on.
“Please allow me to introduce you.” Arost turned around, slowly straightening his hunched chest:
"Welcome to the lost land beyond the Demon Realm, the Endless Forest."
