"Humans! There are humans there? " From afar, Zhou Wen saw that there were humans in the small city. Furthermore, there were quite a number of them.
Zhou Wen used Truth Listener to carefully sweep the area a few more times. After confirming that the other party was a human and not a humanoid dimensional creature, he looked at Grim Demon and asked, "Grim Demon, are you sure this is the Land of the Fallen of the dimension?"
"This …" Grim Demon was originally very certain, but when he saw the humans in the city, he wasn't sure.
A creature that could survive in a dimension had to be at least at the Mythical stage. How many Mythical creatures were there among humans? In the small city in front of him, there seemed to be at least a hundred thousand people. It was unknown if the entire Earth Federation could gather so many Mythical humans.
Furthermore, the small city was right next to the Land of the Fallen. Ignoring humans, even powerful dimensional creatures wouldn't choose to build a city in such a place.
Seeing that Grim Demon wasn't sure, Zhou Wen immediately walked towards the small city.
The sea of flowers ended at the cliff. Below was a bottomless abyss, and on the other side of the cliff was a continuous mountain range. The small city was built on the mountain opposite.
There was no path from here to the small city opposite. However, the bottomless abyss wasn't a problem for Zhou Wen and Grim Demon. They could easily fly over.
For safety reasons, Zhou Wen even released Musical Note Sprites to probe. In the end, Musical Note Sprites flew freely in the air and didn't discover any danger. Only then did Zhou Wen fly towards the human city opposite with Demonic Neonate in his arms.
The city was built on a mountain. On the side facing the cliff, there was a door. Outside the door was a platform. Some humans were setting up stalls on the platform. It was a bustling market with quite a number of people.
When Zhou Wen flew over with Demonic Neonate in his arms, he didn't use his Terror transformation to hide himself. It wasn't that he didn't want to hide, but that Demonic Neonate couldn't. It was useless even if he hid.
Soon, many people saw Zhou Wen fly over with Demonic Neonate in his arms. As for Grim Demon, most people couldn't see him due to his Terror transformation.
Those who saw Zhou Wen stood up and widened their eyes as they stared blankly at Zhou Wen, who was flying towards the platform.
It was as though they had seen something unbelievable. All of them widened their eyes and wore horrified expressions as they stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
Anyone who saw Zhou Wen had the same expression.
The vendor stopped hawking and the buyers forgot what they were holding as all of them looked at Zhou Wen.
"May I know where you are?" Zhou Wen flew close to the platform and greeted before asking.
He had a feeling that there was something wrong with this city and these humans, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Ah!" At this time, the people seemed to wake up from a dream, as if they had seen something terrifying. One by one, they turned around and fled into the city.
Some people even threw the things in their hands out. Instantly, the market was in chaos. By the time Zhou Wen snapped to his senses, the huge market was already empty. The ground was a mess.
"Do I look that terrifying?" Zhou Wen touched his face and asked Grim Demon.
"Compared to me, you are a little uglier, but it's not to the point of being frightening. The residents of this small city are too inexperienced. They haven't seen anything uglier. It's nothing out of the ordinary," Grim Demon said smugly.
If Demonic Neonate could still move, Zhou Wen would have gotten Demonic Neonate to retract Grim Demon into the Demonic Sword. This fellow was born shameless.
Zhou Wen carried Demonic Neonate and walked into the city. When the humans realized that he had followed them into the city, they were horrified. All of them fled with all their might. Even the humans in the city who didn't know what had happened were scrambling to escape.
The owners of the shops on both sides of the road closed their doors and closed their windows tightly.
After a while, there was no one left on the long street, and it was littered with trash.
"Are these people's brains broken?" Zhou Wen took out a mirror and looked at himself. He didn't discover anything about himself that was worth being afraid of.
He had one nose and two eyes. He looked the same as them — a normal human.
Are the humans in this city mentally ill? What's there to be afraid of when they see a human? Grim Demon clearly found it odd.
They aren't mentally ill. They are just afraid of something. Zhou Wen frowned in thought. Before he could figure out a reason, he saw the people who had fled on the other end of the long street walk back, trembling in fear.
The leader was an old man with white hair and beard. His beard almost reached his waist, and he held a cane in his hand. He didn't look stable when he walked, as though he would fall at any moment.
Many people followed behind the elder and walked towards Zhou Wen and company. Their eyes were filled with fear, but despite their fear, they still followed the elder slowly.
Zhou Wen stood on the long street and waited for them to walk over. Since they were willing to come, it meant that they could still communicate. All he needed to do was clarify the matter.
Although they were in a dimension, they were all humans after all. They should be easier to communicate with than dimensional creatures.
Although the elder's eyes were filled with fear, he still walked over step by step. When he was dozens of meters away from Zhou Wen and couldn't communicate face to face, the elder suddenly threw away his cane and fell to the ground, bowing at Zhou Wen.
With the elder's bow, the crowd behind him bowed as well.
"Your Excellency, please spare that child's life. If you want to eat her, eat me …" the elder kowtowed as he said with tears streaming down his face.
What's going on? Zhou Wen was dumbfounded.
How did he become some Demon King? Furthermore, he was only hugging Demonic Neonate in such a gentle posture. It didn't look like he wanted to eat her.
"Are these people's brains flooded with water?" Zhou Wen looked at the people who were worshiping him and begging him not to eat the child. Zhou Wen now agreed with Grim Demon's point of view. Perhaps these people were really crazy.
Zhou Wen felt that it was clearly very difficult to explain to a bunch of lunatics that he wasn't a Demon King or that he wouldn't eat children. Therefore, he planned on going along with their words and figuring out the situation.
"How do you know I'm a Demon King?" Zhou Wen asked the white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder's body trembled, but he quickly answered respectfully, "Apart from you, Your Excellency, who else can come out of Lost Paradise? Apart from you, who else can transform into such a human …"
Zhou Wen opened his mouth and suddenly realized that it wasn't easy to explain.
These people didn't seem to believe him even if he said he was human.
