Chapter 17: Miss Fox Demon! Your cheat code is mine now!
"Hmm? Gu Ziyue? Young Master, who is that?"
Hearing his young master's exclamation, Xiao Bai blinked and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"That kind of thing isn't important," Dong Mo replied casually without turning his head. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"Oh..." Xiao Bai obediently responded, covering his mouth with both hands again.
Just then, Gu Ziyue, who was on the battlefield in the distance, suddenly let out a mournful fox howl.
"Awooo..."
It turned out that the Black-toothed Snake King had taken advantage of a lull in the fight to suddenly bite Gu Ziyue's foreleg.
Two rows of black, sharp teeth were deeply embedded in the flesh, and dark green venom flowed down the tips of the teeth into Gu Ziyue's body.
The reason why the Black Tooth Dragon, an alien creature, was able to dominate the Heming Mountain area is because...
Besides his own powerful physique, his greatest strength lies in this venom that can disrupt the spiritual energy of cultivators.
Although the effects of this venom are negligible for high-level cultivators, it is definitely a killer for low-level cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages.
As the venom slowly seeped into Gu Ziyue's body, her struggles suddenly froze. She could clearly feel her spiritual power rapidly spiraling out of control under the constant erosion of the toxin.
The spiritual energy that was originally flowing smoothly now seemed to have been suddenly mixed with sand, becoming increasingly sluggish.
Even her prized body began to become numb, sluggish, and out of control.
"Damn it... is it poison?"
Gu Ziyue gritted her teeth, a hint of determination flashing in her golden fox eyes: "Now... is that really the only option left?"
Although after using that move, Gu Ziyue will completely lose her mind and go berserk, launching indiscriminate attacks on everything around her, and will be in a state of weakness for three whole days after going berserk.
But now that things have come to this, there is no other choice.
Having considered this, Gu Ziyue decisively used the last bit of spiritual power remaining in her body to unleash the indescribable forbidden power contained within her.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura surged from Gu Ziyue's body.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Ziyue's body, which was like an abyss, Dong Mo frowned, as if he suddenly had a premonition of something. He grabbed Xiao Bai beside him and ran away from the battlefield.
"Xiao Bai! Run! Don't look back!"
As a gamer, Dong Mo knew all too well what Gu Ziyue wanted to do!
As a descendant of the Jin Yun Demon Emperor, Gu Ziyue's true form is indeed a fox demon.
However, at the time of her birth, the demon emperor bloodline within her exhibited a reversion to its ancestral form, awakening a trace of the bloodline of the ancient demon emperor, the Devouring Glutton.
That's how Gu Ziyue obtained the Devouring Heaven True Blood within her body.
This is also her greatest advantage: the Devouring Heaven True Blood not only contains a Demon Emperor's inheritance, but also allows Gu Ziyue to activate her berserk blood mode.
In the original game, Gu Ziyue activated this so-called "madness mode".
They would sacrifice their rationality to increase their combat power to five times its original level.
At the same time, she will also show some of the physical characteristics of the ferocious beast Taotie, and awaken some innate supernatural powers rooted in the bloodline of the ferocious beast.
However, none of this matters...
The most deadly thing is that when Gu Ziyue enters her berserk mode and loses her mind, she will devour anything around her that has spiritual power without any regard for family or friends.
That's why, upon seeing the skill animation before Gu Ziyue activated her Berserk Mode, Dong Mo moved with lightning speed, pulling Xiao Bai away from the battlefield at top speed.
However, it was all too late.
At the same moment Dong Mo turned to run away, Gu Ziyue's eyes suddenly turned red behind him.
Strange noises emanated from inside the enormous fox's body.
Suddenly, two curved ram horns sprouted from the top of the purple fox's head, and two huge tusks, like ivory, suddenly emerged from the corners of its mouth.
Behind the two front legs, two strange patterns shaped like beast eyes slowly emerged.
The most terrifying thing was that, without warning, a gaping maw suddenly split open in the area directly below her neck and in the center of her chest.
"Awooooooo—"
As the ferocious roar resounded, Gu Ziyue completely lost her mind. A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from the gaping maw in her chest.
The small black-toothed dragons closest to her didn't even have time to hiss.
Like fallen leaves caught in a whirlpool, they were sucked in and devoured by the gaping maw on her chest.
The Black-Toothed Serpent King sensed the danger. Its jet-black body, as thick as a water vat, trembled violently. Its survival instinct drove it to release Gu Ziyue and turn to flee.
But it's too late for it to run away now...
Gu Ziyue lowered her head, and the pair of ram horns on her head pierced the Black-Toothed Serpent King's abdomen.
That hard scale armor, comparable to that of a Golden Core stage body cultivator, was as fragile as paper in front of the ferocious beast Taotie.
The berserk Gu Ziyue roared, pinning the Black-Toothed Serpent King in front of her to the spot with her ram's horns, while the Purple Fox's mouth and the huge maw on its chest opened at the same time.
With its sharp claws, it frantically tore and swallowed the flesh and blood of the Black-toothed Serpent King.
The Black-Toothed Serpent King let out a painful hiss, opened its huge mouth and bit down hard on Gu Ziyue, desperately pouring out its venom.
However, as soon as the toxin entered Gu Ziyue's body, it was broken down into the purest spiritual energy and completely devoured by Gu Ziyue's Taotie bloodline.
Gu Ziyue chewed voraciously, her upper and lower mouths simultaneously absorbing everything the snake king had to offer...
Flesh and blood, spiritual power, vitality... not a drop remained.
The Black Tooth Serpent King's body, as thick as a water vat, quickly shrank in no time, eventually turning into a skin-and-bones dried corpse, which Gu Ziyue devoured!
However, the gluttonous appetite of a beast is not so easily satisfied.
The berserk Gu Ziyue opened her enormous maw, and a terrifying devouring power swept through the entire passage.
All the remaining black-toothed dragon vertebrae around them were uprooted by Gu Ziyue's devouring power and transformed into a black torrent that surged into the depths of that bottomless abyss-like maw.
Two minutes later, Gu Ziyue, who had swallowed all the black-toothed dragon spines, raised her head, her blood-stained nostrils twitching slightly as she sensed the location of the object with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the surrounding area.
Then, she smelled it...
Two auras brimming with spiritual energy were rapidly fleeing through the maze passage in the distance.
Gu Ziyue raised her head, her blood-red fox eyes instantly locking onto that location.
She then transformed into a purple whirlwind, chasing after Dong Mo and Xiao Bai in the direction they had fled.
At the same moment that Gu Ziyue began her pursuit, Xiao Bai was riding the Purple Nether Sword, carrying Dong Mo beside him as they sped through the maze at low altitude.
The sword light left afterimages in the darkness, and the stone walls on both sides kept sweeping backward.
[The Purple Nether Map indicates that you should turn left 400 meters ahead to reach the location of the array plate...]
Dong Mo stared at the navigation map and quickly said to Xiao Bai.
"Turn left 400 meters ahead, the array plate is right there!"
"Yes, young master!"
Xiao Bai sped up and raced forward.
However, the roars behind them and the footsteps of the giant beast were getting closer and closer.
Ahhh...faster! Faster!
As long as we get there! As long as we get to the array plate!
Dong Mo kept calling out in his heart, but he was also very clear in his heart that this was the fastest speed Xiao Bai could reach after his power was suppressed by the rules of Heming Mountain!
If Xiao Bai wanted to go any faster, he would have to unleash power beyond the Foundation Establishment stage, and he would have been ejected directly from Heming Mountain.
And so it went, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters...
Just a hundred meters away from the array plate, a dark purple whirlwind suddenly burst out from the right fork in the road, blocking their path with its massive body.
Gu Ziyue stood on all fours, her horns drooping, her enormous maw wide open, aimed at them. Her blood-red fox eyes held no rationality, only the most primal hunger.
"Damn it...we still managed to catch up...?"
Looking at the monster before him, Dong Mo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Xiao Bai gritted his teeth, flipped himself to the ground, picked up the Purple Nether Sword, and stood in front of Dong Mo.
"Young master, hurry and go! I'll cover your retreat!"
Xiao Bai scrutinized the monster before him, his gaze so resolute it seemed to burn with fire.
Report your favor on the golden platform, and bring Yulong to die for the king.
She had been saved by the young master, and even if she were to perish here today, she would never back down. She was determined to fight this monster to the very last moment, and then commit suicide!
However, Dong Mo, who was beside her, did not run away!
Dong Mo knew very well that even ordinary Golden Core cultivators couldn't defeat Gu Ziyue in her gluttonous form. Xiao Bai, suppressed to the peak of Foundation Establishment by the rules of Heming Mountain, couldn't possibly delay her for long!
Moreover, given the current state of the maze, if he cannot obtain the maze array plate behind Gu Ziyue, he will have no chance of escaping the maze without Xiao Bai's protection!
Since that's the case, he might as well take a gamble! He'd try using that move to deal with Gu Ziyue!
"Xiao Bai, go and stall her."
Dong Mo opened the system, his voice unusually decisive.
"Leave the rest to me. Give me enough time, and I'll find a way to deal with her."
Upon hearing Dong Mo's words, Xiao Bai, though puzzled about how he intended to deal with the fox demon, still gripped the Purple Nether Sword tightly and nodded heavily out of trust in her young master.
Then, without hesitation, he rushed towards Gu Ziyue.
Seeing this, Dong Mo took a deep breath and decisively opened the strategy panel of his own system.
[The victim has been chosen: Gu Ziyue]
[Target: Devouring Heaven True Blood]
Dong Mo's solution was simple: he would try to extract the Devouring True Blood from Gu Ziyue's body!
