Maybe it was because Xiao Tangqiu was also a streamer, but Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously was unwilling to doubt Fei You and Zhang Zuo. Not to mention, he indeed followed Fei You’s live streams before and thus felt a certain level of intimacy. But now the facts were in front of him, he had to take off his biased lenses and become 120% on guard.
Shen Yuan’s frown suddenly stretched out, as if he wanted to understand something, his tone was calmer than ever, “So that’s it…”
As soon as he spoke, Xiao Tangqiu instantly noticed the demonic energy that suddenly surged around them. This demonic energy washed away the remaining demonic energy of the two sea monsters that mutually destructed. It swept over and overwhelmed everything else.
There was no need for Shen Yuan to point out anything now. Xiao Tangqiu also realized the true identities of “Fei You” and “Zhang Zuo”.
After “Zhang Zuo” set up an array based on the Book of Demons, the two of them also removed their disguise and restored their true appearance. They were the Abyss Demon and Lily Marlene!
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart shook. When did these two demons start to lurk around them? Was it recently? Or was it from the moment “Fei You” and “Zhang Zuo” first appeared?
Why didn’t Lily Marlene die? Didn’t she already sacrifice herself?
Terror surged in Xiao Tangqiu’s heart. This fear was not only because of the Abyss Demon and Lily Marlene appearing, but also because these two demons had been lurking by his side for a long time, but he had never noticed… He subconsciously looked towards Shen Yuan. But Shen Yuan also had a serious expression and heavy gaze. It was obvious that he had also just discovered their true identities.
The Abyss Demon who restored his true appearance stood on the giant whale’s back. He was still just a vague and illusory black shadow. Lily Marlene was wearing a low-cut red minidress and a pair of red high-heels, looking both sexy and petit. She held the Book of Demons in her hand as she quickly set a boundary spell.
The moment Lily Marlene closed the book, the barrier was completed.
This was a vast boundary, completely covering the corpses of the giant whale and monster octopus. The moment the barrier formed, the complicated black patterns that made up this formation began to flow quickly, and runes that resembled Ouroboros directly incarnate into thousands of black tail-biting snakes.
Thousands of tail-biting snakes crawled out of the formation and began to devour the giant whale and monster octopus’s corpses!
The two behemoths were unbelievably large. Even as just corpses, they were quite mighty. But the tail-biting snakes were not intimidated. They overwhelmed and consumed the bodies of the giant whale and the monster octopus in an instant!
Xiao Tangqiu was reminded of desert army ants, and then of locusts passing by. When he came back to his senses, the two monster corpses had completely disappeared, leaving only the giant shadow that was the Abyss Demon and Lily Marlene before them.
They naturally did not fall into the sea due to the disappearance of the two big sea monsters, instead floating in mid-air. But Xiao Tangqiu and Shen Yuan were floating in the water. Because the two big sea monsters vanished so quickly, they had to experience another rush of turbulent waters.

As Xiao Tangqiu struggled to emerge from the waves again, he saw another amazing scene. The thousands of tail-biting snakes that had swallowed the giant sea monsters all swarmed towards the Abyss Demon. They climbed onto the mass of shadow one by one, wrapping around it until nothing could be seen under them.

His heart dropped, instantly knowing that the situation didn’t bode well. Sure enough, the next second, Lily Marlene recovered a calm and solemn look. She slowly bowed in reverence, “Congratulations, Master…”
The tail-biting snakes that climbed onto the shadow suddenly merged into the darkness and were swallowed up by the shadows just as they swallowed the monster corpses!
With the disappearance of the thousands of tail-biting snakes, the originally illusory black shadow became more and more solid, forming a recognizable shape, and finally completely became a real person.
The Abyss Demon gained a body!
Xiao Tangqiu looked at this scene in disbelief. The moment the Abyss Demon turned into a human, the forbidden zone and thousands of tail-biting snakes disappeared, leaving only a newly born person before them.
He was wearing a black windbreaker, a pair of black gloves, a pair of black boots, and a black mask. He did not have the appearance of a demon, looking more like a performing magician. He even held a black top hat for magic tricks!
Lily Marlene took a step forward, knelt on the ground with one knee, her tone devout and fanatical, “Congratulations, Master!”
The Abyss Demon who was dressed as a magician looked around and suddenly spoke, his voice still airy, “I’m finally back…”
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart beat wildly. At this moment, he was very nervous and frightened. The Abyss Demon was too powerful, and that crushing power transformed into an extremely terrifying aura, which almost suppressed his breath.
He tried to turn his head to look at Shen Yuan beside him and saw that Shen Yuan’s eyes were also heavy and dark, and the corners of his lips were tight.
“Hm?” The Abyss Demon made a questioning sound and took a step towards Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu suddenly floated into the air, as if caught by a huge invisible hand. He gracefully stretched out his black-gloved hand and lifted Xiao Tangqiu’s chin, “You are still not dead?”
Wrapped around the black glove-clad fingers of the Abyss Demon was that lustrous and beautiful ruby ring!
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart thundered. Under the threat of enveloping death, he clearly understood everything about this instance. The so-called “lost treasure” in this instance was indeed the blood of the demon!
A drop of blood lost by the Abyss Demon contained extremely strong power, and the one who obtains it could obtain this power. Who didn’t desire this drop of demon blood?
The Abyss Demon himself obviously thought the same, so he used them, the players, to get back this drop of his blood, sacrificing his own creations to summon his body to the instance world. This was really a great plan to kill two birds with one stone…
…But why did the Abyss Demon say that he finally “returned”? Only those who had “left” from the instance world would say that they have “returned”!
Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Tangqiu’s mind. That’s right! According to Su Manluo, this world was a triple world. Both the demon-inhabited real world and the instance world were created by the Abyss Demon!
Why would the Abyss Demon who created the instance world be exiled and rejected by the instance world, and could only return via summoning by sacrifice?
Who created the City of the Abyss between the real world and the instance world? Whose will did the system represent?
Seeing that Xiao Tangqiu didn’t answer, the Abyss Demon didn’t get angry. He just squeezed Xiao Tangqiu’s chin with his fingers harder, and spoke with his ethereal voice, “It seems they like you very much.”
Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback for a moment. They? Who were “they”?
At this moment, he suddenly had a terrifying insight… His special skill card, who were the audience members in that live stream chat room?
He had never thought about this issue before. Maybe because it was his special ability card, so he subconsciously thought that the live stream was only related to him, and had nothing to do with others. Only now did he think that everything about his audience was suspicious.
Would they be an audience from reality?
How could viewers from reality be so calm about a live stream where a host could die at any moment?
Would they be the players in the City of the Abyss?
The players in the City of the Abyss were always on the edge of life and death. How could there be such a leisurely sentiment to watch other players’ live streams? And most importantly… how could they have the qualifications and rights to resurrect a player with the same identity as them?
The deeper Xiao Tangqiu thought the colder his back became. Then, Shen Yuan, who also floated in the air at some point, suddenly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Tangqiu back behind him.
Shen Yuan expressionlessly faced the Abyss Demon, “Stay away from him!”
The two confronted each other and Xiao Tangqiu’s heart lifted.
The Abyss Demon suddenly laughed, “It’s you again, how about it, is the abyss power strong? Do you like the power I give you?”
Shen Yuan looked at the opposing Abyss Demon coldly, obviously not planning to speak at all.
The Abyss Demon was not angry. He gave a careless laugh and put his hand into his top hat, “I like your lack of self-awareness, so I let you off again and again. But don’t forget, there are still fragments of the demon’s heart in your heart…”
He put his hand in the top hat and looked as if he clenched something, Shen Yuan’s face suddenly became pale, and he fell to his knees in the air.
Xiao Tangqiu rushed over and grabbed Shen Yuan’s arm, nervous, “What’s the matter with you?”
Shen Yuan bit his lower lip, “No… nothing…”
He wanted to hold on to something, but there was nothing but wind in the midair, and he could only use his dig into the palm of his hands.
Xiao Tangqiu raised his head and stared at the Abyss Demon, “What did you do?”
The Abyss Demon smiled casually, “As long as I exert a little more strength, his heart will be crushed.”
Xiao Tangqiu bit his lip, “What do you want?”
Abyss Demon’s interested eyes went between Shen Yuan and Xiao Tangqiu, “It’s nothing, I just suddenly want to play a little game…”
He took his hand out of the top hat and placed two small transparent glass vials in his palms. Both vials were filled with drops of red liquid, blooming with the luster of demonic temptation.
“The liquid in these two bottles, one will kill you if you drink it, and the other will not kill you if you drink it,” the Abyss Demon said slowly, “You two pick one each to drink. The dead one will become my sacrifice. The survivor… I will let him go because of his luck.”
His voice was soft and slow, filled with deceptiveness, like the whispers from a demon. No. This was a demon’s whisper. “Of course, if one of you kills the other first, I will also reward him for his bravery and let him go. I only need one sacrifice, so only one of you dying is enough.”
I finally caught up!!! My gosh, how would they solve this?
