Fairy, don't let your golden finger chase after me!

Chapter 25: Miss Fox Demon, I am your half-brother!

"Aaaaaah... Why did you chase after me?! I don't have any cough syrup on me!"

Dong Mo carried Gu Ziyue, who was bound hand and foot, and ran wildly through the maze. The footsteps of the giant armored rock spirit behind him were like the drumbeats of death, and each heavy step shook the dust on both sides of the maze.

Faced with Dong Mo's series of strange remarks, Gu Ziyue simply listened with an exhausted expression, without making any comments, as if she had long been accustomed to it.

However, although Gu Ziyue seemed to be exhausted, she was actually truly at a loss with Dong Mo.

After all, Dong Mo had been spouting witty remarks the whole way. If Gu Ziyue had taken his complaints seriously, she would probably have gotten parched by now.

Upon hearing Dong Mo's shout, the giant armored rock spirit behind him seemed to be mocked and immediately intensified its pursuit.

Upon seeing this, Dong Mo frowned. Ever since he and Gu Ziyue were targeted by this thing, it had been relentlessly pursuing them.

No matter how much detour Dong Mo took, it could always pinpoint their location with incredible accuracy and couldn't shake them off at all.

Suddenly, the giant armored rock spirit sprang up and swung its greatsword, unleashing a powerful slash.

Seeing this, Dong Mo, holding Gu Ziyue, slid forward with a tackle.

The giant sword slammed into the spot where he had just landed, shattering the stone bricks with a deafening roar, and sending fragments of stone flying outwards like shrapnel.

One of the sharp-edged pebbles grazed Dong Mo's forehead, leaving a thin, long bloody mark.

Dong Mo was completely unaware of this and was only focused on running as fast as he could.

On the other hand, Gu Ziyue, who was being held in Dong Mo's arms, suddenly felt her face get wet.

Noticing the strange touch on her face, Gu Ziyue subconsciously looked up and saw a drop of bright red blood sliding down Dong Mo's forehead and landing squarely on her cheek.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ziyue stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"You...you're injured."

Upon hearing Gu Ziyue's reminder, Dong Mo finally felt the stinging pain in his forehead and smiled at Gu Ziyue.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

"Feed...human! Aren't you going to bandage yourself?"

Dong Mo did not answer Gu Ziyue's question.

Just then, an extremely piercing whistling sound came from behind Dong Mo.

Then, the giant armored rock spirit behind Dong Mo actually threw out the giant stone sword in its hand!

The giant sword tumbled through the air and crashed forward, then landed heavily in front of Dong Mo, completely blocking the path ahead.

Dong Mo stopped in his tracks, his expression turning extremely unpleasant.

The road ahead is blocked, and pursuers are behind.

Dong Mo slowly turned around, a wicked and arrogant smile spreading across his blood-stained face as he mocked the giant rock monster that was striding closer behind him.

"I can't stand it. Do you really like me that much?"

Whether Dong Mo's words angered the giant armored rock spirit in front of him is unknown, but they certainly infuriated Gu Ziyue, who had misunderstood his meaning.

"Hmph...who likes you! Don't be so self-important!"

Dong Mo was startled by her shout, and looked down at Gu Ziyue in his arms, his face full of bewilderment.

"Huh?! If you ask me... you fox demon, don't be so self-righteous, okay? What I just said wasn't even directed at you, okay?"

Upon hearing Dong Mo's words, Gu Ziyue, realizing she had misunderstood, instantly blushed.

But then, a strange sense of loss quietly began to grow in Gu Ziyue's heart...

As the princess of the Southern Wilderness Demon Clan, am I really that unattractive?

Even this blond thug looks down on him?

Those perverted humans in those stories, don't they all want to stand up and kick a beautiful female demon?

But why is this perverted blond guy in front of me completely indifferent to my beauty?

Is it because she thinks she's too ugly? No, that can't be right, her looks are definitely the best among the demon race!

Her suitors could stretch from the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Demon City all the way to the Western Wilderness.

If that's the case, then it means this blond guy has poor taste.

Yes! That must be it.

As Gu Ziyue was lost in thought, the giant armored rock spirit in the distance suddenly launched an attack, charging straight towards Dong Mo and Gu Ziyue like a heavy cannon.

Dong Mo held Gu Ziyue tightly with one arm and held a sword in the other.

Their gazes were sharp as knives, and they were on high alert.

But just as the giant rock spirit was about to collide with him...

The clumsy body of the rock monster unexpectedly triggered a mechanism in the maze.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp "crack" was heard, and a huge stone hammer suddenly sprang out from both sides of the wall, smashing the giant's thigh squarely and causing it to crash to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Dong Mo felt a sudden inspiration.

The traps in the maze were actually able to hurt this guy!

Realizing this, Dong Mo immediately leaped over the crippled body of the giant rock spirit and fled the scene with Gu Ziyue at top speed.

Gu Ziyue peeked out from Dong Mo's arms, her face full of confusion, and asked, "Why are you running? Wasn't that monster already dealt with?"

Dong Mo did not answer this question, but quickly brought up the maze map in the system and swiftly locked onto the area with the most dense traps.

Then, under Gu Ziyue's horrified gaze, the giant monster, whose legs had been broken by the mechanical hammer, had completed the reconstruction of its body and pulled out the giant sword from the ground to chase after them.

Dong Mo had anticipated this. He carried Gu Ziyue and sped through the passage, leading the giant monster into the area full of traps. Then he suddenly stopped and placed Gu Ziyue in a relatively safe corner by the roadside.

Seeing this, Gu Ziyue panicked and asked the blond-haired man in front of her with a wary expression.

"What do you want to do? Why are you abandoning me?"

"You...you wouldn't be thinking of using me as bait to lure that monster, would you?!"

Dong Mo was too lazy to explain further, he simply patted Gu Ziyue's shoulder and said indifferently.

"Don't wander off! Wait for me here!"

As Dong Mo finished speaking, the heavy footsteps of the giant rock spirit rang out again.

"Hey! Big guy! I'm here! Come and get me!"

Dong Mo stood in the middle of the passage, taunting the giant armored rock spirit that was charging towards him.

Seeing this, the giant rock spirit roared angrily and charged at him, brandishing its greatsword.

Then, it triggered the trap in the passage.

With a crisp "crack," the entire passage instantly transformed into a killing zone.

Arrows, fireballs, ice spikes... and various colored energy beams drew deadly arcs as all sorts of traps and mechanisms rained down on the giant rock spirit.

The giant rock spirit's hard body crumbled layer by layer under the relentless bombardment of the dense traps.

The thick rock armor peeled away piece by piece, revealing the energy core inside that shimmered with a crimson light.

"Oh! Little Du! This is a great opportunity... now's the time."

Dong Mo murmured playfully, holding a low-grade magic weapon, the Spirit Sword, and activated the Tranquility True Understanding.

"Halt! Cut in two! Ruyi Divine Sword!"

With a loud shout from Dong Mo, the Tranquil Mind True Understanding - Breaking Sword Style was instantly thrust into the Rock Spirit Core!

Dong Mo thrust out his sword, and the ancient and profound sword energy containing the essence of the sword precisely pierced through the core surface, leaving a small crack.

However, the low-grade magic weapon spirit sword in Dong Mo's hand could not withstand the powerful force of the sword's Dao and shattered inch by inch under Dong Mo's sword moves.

However, even though Dong Mo shattered the spirit sword, and even though Dong Mo's sword moves caused cracks in the rock spirit's core, the rock monster still did not die.

Before Dong Mo could react to what was happening, the scattered rock fragments around him floated back into the air and began to rapidly reassemble under the influence of the core.

Upon seeing this, Dong Mo's expression turned extremely ugly.

Damn it... I still couldn't break its core? If I had the Purple Nether Sword with me, that last strike could have finished it off...

Just as Dong Mo felt despair, a system pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Devouring Heaven's True Blood: Mom! Mom!]

[The Devouring Heaven True Blood says, "Quickly use my power! I can help Mom solve this!"]

Staring at the pop-up window in front of him, Dong Mo suddenly woke up.

Hey! That's right!

I still have the Devouring Heaven True Blood! How could I have forgotten about the Devouring Heaven True Blood!

"Devouring Heaven, activate Berserk mode!"

As soon as Dong Mo finished speaking, a violent force exploded within his body.

Gu Ziyue, who had been placed far away by Dong Mo, suddenly sensed a familiar energy fluctuation!

Immediately afterwards, a layer of fine scales appeared on Dong Mo's body, four fangs grew in his mouth, and a pair of horn-like protrusions appeared on his forehead.

His once-smooth blond hair now stood on end as if it were statically charged. Judging from his current appearance, most people who didn't know better would think he was a Super Saiyan from the Dragon Ball universe who had transmigrated here.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ziyue, who was hiding in the distance, was suddenly startled by Dong Mo and her eyes widened.

Hiss... This power fluctuation...

Yes! There's no mistake! This is the bloodline of the Taotie!

That feeling... you can't be wrong!

The yellow-haired human in front of me is definitely using the same Taotie bloodline as me!

But how could the same demon emperor bloodline as mine appear in this blond human? Could it be... that this guy is a half-human, half-demon hybrid?

I heard... that when my mother was young, she spent some time wandering in the Western Wilderness...

Hmm... Could it be that he is my half-brother, whom I lost many years ago?
