"Hiu! Pa! "
Black Jack's magic crystal smoke bloomed in the distance, and a bright red mushroom umbrella slowly bloomed under the dome.
When Theresa and Princess A Xia followed the magic crystal smoke, they found that Black Jack had gathered his entire harem.
Thankfully, when they were blown over by the spatial ripples, they were not separated too far away.
Also, they were very lucky. Except for Theresa and Princess A Xia, who encountered a Demonic Halberd Pig, the others barely encountered any powerful demon beasts or demons. They all found each other unscathed.
"Wonderful!"
Princess A Xia, Dragon Girl Hera, and the others hugged each other excitedly. Catgirl Ke Er even danced with joy.
Even the sisters who had demon blood in them breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
No one had expected that they could pass through the border between the glorious human world and the Bloody Battle Demon Realm without bloodshed. They thought that they would encounter a fierce battle.
"Strange."
Black Jack counted the number of people and found that all of them were present. While he was relieved, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. "It shouldn't be. Logically speaking, at the border between the human world and the Demon Realm, there are usually demon patrols patrolling and sweeping. Even if they don't kill anyone on sight, they should at least interrogate them to determine their origins. Why is the defense of the Demon Realm so lax today? Ke Er — "
He called Ke Er the catgirl.
The catgirl wagged her tail, crouched down, and pressed her furry ears to the ground. She held her breath and listened for a moment. Then she said, "Follow the southwest direction. Less than ten kilometers away, there are sounds of fighting. It should be a large-scale battle, but I can't hear it clearly. The humus here is too thick, and the noises can't reach here."
"More than ten kilometers to the southwest?"
Black Jack frowned and said, "That's the Thousand Gate Mountain. Are the demons fighting each other again?"
The members of the harem discussed based on their experience and knowledge.
Princess A Xia quietly pulled the confused Theresa aside and explained to her.
Since it was called the Bloody Battle Demon Realm, it was naturally a place of fighting all year round. Corpses and blood were everywhere.
The ferocious demons were not united. Instead, they were divided into at least seven main tribes, which were ruled by seven "grand lords". They fought each other endlessly.
Perhaps it was because the Bloody Battle Demon Realm lacked resources and couldn't feed the over-inflated population.
Or perhaps it was the evil nature of the Devil Race that made it their destiny to be the survival of the fittest, to kill each other, until in the competition of survival of the fittest, the peerless Ferocious King of the Seven Great Devil Monarchs was selected to unify the entire Bloody Battle Devil World, and then command the mighty Seven Great Devil Armies to kill their way to the glorious world?
"According to the legends of the bards, every few thousand years, a real Demon King emerges from the seven Demon Monarchs. He can unify the seven tribes, break the barrier, and conquer the human world," A Xia Xia told Theresa.
Princess A Xia told Theresa, "It's been tens of millions of years since the last Battle of Devil Tribulation, and it's about time for a new Demon King to be born. Sister Hera and the others speculate that it's probably because of this that the regular infighting among the demons escalated into a fierce civil war. All the demon armies were involved in it and had no time to guard the border between the Demon Realm and the human world. After all, the glorious human world's army is unlikely to attack the Demon Realm."
Theresa nodded and asked, "Then, what's this' Thousand Gate Mountain '?"
Princess A Xia pricked up her ears and listened to the two mixed-blood sisters, who were born and raised here, describe the place for a while. Then, she turned around and told Theresa, "The terrain of the Bloody Battle Demon Realm is very different from that of the glorious human world. There are no mountains, rivers, suns, moons, or stars. There are also no magnificent palaces or lofty castles. There are only intricate pipelines, forked ditches, and vertical shafts that connect countless' sections' from top to bottom. Each section is equivalent to a city. When the sections are combined, they form a three-dimensional world that looks like a beehive or an ant's nest. The demons call it the 'Devil's Nest'.
"The nests of the devils are as complicated as a maze. Even the native-born devils might get lost in them. It's impossible for them to crawl slowly in the tubes when the army is marching and mobilizing their troops.
"Therefore, in the Bloody Battle Demon Realm, most of the sections that are relatively far apart are connected by magic teleportation arrays, which are also known as' demon gates'.
"Through the demon gates, the magic teleportation arrays can instantly teleport from the first level of the Devil's Nest to the 999th level. It's the main mode of transportation in the Bloody Battle Demon Realm.
"Of course. Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge would be able to tell that whoever controls the Demonic Gate is equivalent to guarding the main road and will be able to control the key to victory or defeat. Whichever Demonic Realm tribe controls more teleportation portals and has more teleportation nodes, the stronger its forces will be.
"In the words of the demons, the Thousand Gate Mountain is a super-large transmission center. It has thousands of 'demon gates' that can lead to any place in the Devil's Nest. It can even appear behind an enemy tribe stealthily. Naturally, it's the most important strategic location.
"However, there's an unwritten rule that has been passed down for thousands of years among the demons. The Thousand Gate Mountain is a peaceful place shared by all the demons. It's a military forbidden zone, and not a drop of demon blood is allowed to stain the 'sacredness' of the Thousand Gate Mountain. Whoever dares to attack or occupy the Thousand Gate Mountain will become the enemy of all the demons. Even the demons who don't hate him will attack him together."
Theresa was slightly stunned. "Why is that?"
"Because the technology of the demons to create the 'demon gates' has been lost."
Princess A Xia said, "Once the demon gates are damaged, it's almost impossible to repair them. The demon gates are the key to maintaining the Devil's Nest. If all the connections between the Devil's Nests are cut off, the demons will really suffocate to death inside.
"Therefore, although the battles between the demons often revolve around the attack and defense of the demon gates, very few people will directly destroy the demon gates. The Thousand Gate Mountain, where thousands of demon gates are gathered, has become the holy land of the demons. Whoever dares to start a war here may destroy the entire Bloody Battle Demon Realm.
"Of course, that's the reason, but to a greater extent, it's probably because the strategic value of the Thousand Gate Mountain is too great. If a demon tribe completely controls the Thousand Gate Mountain, it will completely break the balance that has been formed for thousands of years and become the sole overlord of the Demon Realm. This is something that the other demons don't want to see.
"But today, it seems that there's finally a Demon Monarch who can't restrain his ambition. He's really risking universal condemnation and marching towards Qianmen Mountain. This also means that this Demon Monarch is confident that he has the strength to unify the entire Demon World and become the new Demon King thousands of years later, right?"
