Another great demon sneered, thinking to himself, "You laughed at me earlier, now you're getting what you deserve."
When Hao Yun saw another great demon approaching, he immediately stepped on its body and climbed up.
Surrounded by the two great demons, Hao Yun moved as nimbly as a flea, bouncing around on them.
As the two sides were locked in combat, the altar lit up with a white light, and the two great demons and Hao Yun instantly disappeared into the third level of the ruins.
The group fighting the lesser demons discovered that the greater demon had disappeared, so they quickly regrouped and defeated the lesser demons.
"What happened? How did Hao Yun disappear?"
The time machine stared wide-eyed as Hao Yun disappeared into the center of the altar.
"Let's go back out first."
The surviving adventurers then began to consider giving up.
"Yeah, the little devil will probably be back soon. Let's go out first."
Ye Zi looked at the adventurers calmly, which made them all lower their heads in shame.
"I'm sorry, I really want to help you, but I've been trapped for too long and I'm too weak to fight."
A middle-aged male adventurer stepped forward, looking at Ye Zi and the other three with a face full of guilt.
"Yes, we gave it our all in that fight."
The other adventurers chimed in.
Ye Zi remained silent. She had long seen through the adventurers' true nature, so she wasn't surprised at all by their actions.
Even knowing this, she was still very angry and heartbroken.
"Ye Zi, let's ignore them and go check out the altar."
The time machine snorted and led Sun Wukong and the Sixth Brother towards the altar.
The group of adventurers, with expressions of remorse, slowly retreated towards the second level of the ruins.
After the adventurer left, Six-Wa couldn't help but complain.
"We shouldn't have saved those ungrateful bastards!"
"Alright, forget about them. Let's go check the altar first. It seems Hao Yun was teleported away just now."
The time machine ran to the altar, looking around for a way to teleport.
Hao Yun, who was teleported away with the Great Demon, is now standing under a throne, warily staring at a Great Demon wearing a crown on the throne.
This great demon was enormous, with even more vibrant colors on its scales, which appeared to be flowing with lava.
"Human, this is not a place for you."
The Great Demon looked down at Hao Yun with a very complicated expression.
A few days ago, one of his items was stolen by an adventurer exploring the ruins.
This item is very valuable to him, which is why he captures adventurers.
Hao Yun stared at the great demon on the throne and couldn't help but cast a probe.
King of Demons

[HP: ? ? ?]
[MP: ? ? ?]
Since the investigation began, Hao Yun has encountered a monster full of question marks for the first time.
"Human, your detection skills are not effective against all creatures. Put away your hostility. If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead by now."
The Demon King on the throne, with just a slight aura emanating from him, pressed Hao Yun so hard that he couldn't straighten up.
So strong!
Hao Yun muttered to himself and immediately put away his twin swords. He figured that even if he fought desperately, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat this kind of question mark-level monster.
Since the other party is communicating with me, it means that the other party is not planning to kill me.
"Greetings, Demon King. Why did you capture me and bring me here?"
The Demon King smiled slightly and looked down at Hao Yun.
"Human adventurer, I'd like to give you a quest. Do you have the courage to accept it?"
A quest? Hao Yun was a little confused. What was going on? A monster was giving him a quest? Was it an NPC?
"Don't be surprised. Our demon race actually has no ill intentions towards your human race. If you hadn't trespassed into my palace, my people would never have fought with you."
After hearing the Demon King's words, Hao Yun couldn't help but curl his lips. He had personally witnessed the Great Demon devouring human corpses. If that wasn't malicious, then what would be considered malicious?
The Demon King calmly looked at Hao Yun. In fact, he had only given Hao Yun the task on a whim.
He probably won't be able to find the item he lost by relying on his people.
"Human, as long as you complete the task I give you, I can give you anything, whether it's gold and silver treasures or weapons and armor."
Chapter 212 Searching for Little King Kong
Hao Yun wasn't too keen on accepting the task proposed by the Demon King, so he hesitated for a long time without giving a reply.
"Your companions seem to be looking for you. Let me bring them over."
A six-pointed star array flashed beneath the Great Demon's feet, and then the Time Machine, Leaf, Sun Wukong, and Sixth Brother appeared beneath the throne.
Suddenly teleported here, the four people in the time machine hadn't even reacted yet, all looking around in confusion.
When they saw more than a dozen large demons standing around them, they were dumbfounded. They had been teleported into a monster horde!
"Hao Yun!"
Ye Zi saw Hao Yun not far away and couldn't help but shout.
"Quiet!"
The great demons standing on either side of the throne all glared angrily at Ye Zi.
"Your Excellency Demon King, what do you mean by this?"
Hao Yun's expression turned somewhat grim; the Demon King was threatening him.
"I'm sorry, I just saw that your companions seemed to be in a hurry to find you, so I teleported them here without their permission."
The Demon King smiled, as if it were all an unintentional act on his part.
The five people gathered together, and the time machine suddenly tugged at Hao Yun, gesturing towards a table not far away.
Hao Yun followed the gaze of the time machine and saw a durian placed in a box on a high table next to the Demon King.
I never imagined that demons would like to eat this kind of thing.
Hao Yun turned his gaze to the Demon King and forced a smile as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask what task you have given me. My strength is weak, and if the difficulty is too high, I am afraid I will not be able to complete it."
"The task is simple, just help me find something."
After the Demon King finished speaking, he waved his hand and a portrait appeared in the void. The portrait depicted a crystal ball the size of a human head.
"This is the crystal core, an item I really liked, but unfortunately it's lost. My people are not suited to travel outside, so this task can only be entrusted to you."
"As long as you can help me find it, I can give you anything, whether it's gold, silver, or anything else."
After pondering for a moment, Hao Yun finally decided to accept the task.
The main problem is that I can't refuse this mission; if I don't accept it, I probably won't even be able to leave this palace.
"Okay, I'll take this task, but it will probably take some time to find this item for you."
The Demon King waved his hand and said with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll give you a year. If you find this item, you can return here by crushing this teleportation talisman.”
A red piece of paper, about the size of a palm, slowly floated into Hao Yun's hand.
"Your Majesty, I will retrieve this item for you as soon as possible."
After friendly negotiations, the Demon King finally waved his hand and teleported them to the altar on the third floor of the ruins.
After landing, the time machine wanted to say something, but Hao Yun stopped it.
"Go back first. We can talk about it when we get back."
The five quickly left the ruins and returned to their previous campsite. Hao Yun's face immediately darkened.
Lifting the shirt off his left arm, Hao Yun looked at the mysterious symbols on it and couldn't help but curse loudly.
"You son of a bitch, you bastard, you actually tricked me!"
[The Curse of the Demon Race: Outbreak Duration One Year]
This was the first time Hao Yun, who had always had everything go smoothly, had suffered such a big loss.
"Hao Yun".
Ye Zi walked over to Hao Yun, wanting to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Taking a deep breath, Hao Yun gradually calmed down.
"Time machine, what were you trying to say just now?"
The time machine seemed a little embarrassed and spoke cautiously.
"The things that the Demon King lost were probably stolen by Little King Kong."
"What!"
"Don't get excited. I'm just saying it's possible. I just saw a durian on the Demon King's table. Little King Kong loves doing things like that, so I suspect he might have sneaked into the Demon King's palace."
Hao Yun frowned slightly. Little King Kong? If it really is him, then tell us that he has been here recently.
