Demon King, Where To Escape - C224
The gigantic mountain-like figure began to wantonly abuse the entire city. He ate anything he saw and stared at a certain spot with his greedy and vicious eyes. His eyes were filled with an unyielding ruthlessness!
The four of them stood on their swords in a sorry state, their swords piercing through the clouds. In a blink of an eye, the unparalleled city was left behind.
Gu Hua stood silently at the side, looking at the magnificent and luxurious city get smaller and smaller in her line of sight. In the blink of an eye, when she looked over again, there was no longer any sight of the bustling and beautiful city, only a dilapidated dead city.
“The illusion has been broken.” Gu Ming, who was at the side, fixed his gaze on the dilapidated city and said faintly, “The Taotie is greedy and lazy, and likes to eat and relax. This is why it used its greed to transform into a magnificent city and attract people to come and go.”
“After attracting people,” Gu Lang, who was on the other side consoling Gu Jue, continued, “the greed of the human heart will appear in its illusions one by one. Those immortal pills and secret manuals will be the greed of the human heart, and all the things that one wants will materialize along with the psychology of the person who entered the illusionary world.
Therefore, there was a good explanation for why there was no one here.
Inside the illusion world, there were many treasures and everything that they wanted was there. No one would not be tempted by this place, so when they tried to touch the items here, they would disappear into the illusion world and die in the mouth of the Taotie.
Or perhaps.
Died in his own greed.
“How terrifying.” Gu Jue thought of that bottle of Immortal Recovering Pills. He was just a bit away from being enchanted by the illusion. “Thank you, second brother.” As he thought of this, Gu Jue’s red nose twitched. His eyes reddened as he looked at Gu Ming and hugged Gu Lang’s waist.
Gu Ming nodded indifferently. “Don’t be so reckless next time.”
“Yes.” Gu Jue obediently nodded his head. The little deer Bobbie’s eyes looked especially cute. He placed his eyes on the silent Gu Hua Wei. This time, he didn’t dare to underestimate this ten-year-old little girl. It was a human little girl who saved him at such a crucial moment.
“Slight, you’re so powerful!” Gu Jue held onto Gu Hua Microsoft’s soft hand, his eyes glued to her body. “If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even know what to do …”
“I’m fine.” Gu Hua lightly shook his hand. With a very impressive expression on her beautiful face, she said, “You’ve always been the one protecting me. I also have to protect you.”
“Don’t worry!” The moment he mentioned protection, Gu Jue’s fighting spirit began to burn again, “Next time, I’ll definitely protect you well!” He quietly clenched his fists. He wasn’t going to be as cowardly as he was today!
“Alright,” Gu Hua Wei was a person who had transcended ages, so he didn’t want to hurt a sixteen-year-old teenager at all. “Then you have to do your best!”
“En!”
The longsword quickly passed through the dense forest and flew towards the sea. Along the way, Gu Jue was constantly searching for safety. It was obvious that he wasn’t feeling very well because of the aftereffects of being frightened.
Gu Lang busily consoled his younger brother, while Gu Ming kept his eyes closed in deep thought, as if he didn’t feel the slightest discomfort from losing a sword.
Gu Hua Wei’s spiritual sense followed the wind and returned. The Taotie definitely wouldn’t let this go, and they couldn’t kill the ancient beasts either. The two would eventually clash, but her destination definitely wasn’t here.
The Taotie had already finished eating the entire dilapidated city. Looking at it from afar, it was a flat plain. Where else could it be seen? Its mouth was filled with everything that could be eaten. It ran out of the city, continuously searching for anything that could be eaten. Its big mouth was like a piece of meat devouring the heavens and the earth, never resting for even a moment!
It had gotten rid of the problem of the Peach Blossom Wine which confused the sense of smell. Along the way, it followed their scent and chased after them almost ferociously. Its speed was surprisingly fast as it scavenged everything it could eat along the way!
“It’s coming.” Gu Hua retracted her spiritual sense and looked towards Gu Ming, who had his eyes closed the entire time to rest. Her peach blossom eyes were especially calm in Gu Ming’s opened eyes. “We don’t have much time left to think of a strategy.”
Gu Ming quietly watched her, his pale amber eyes calm. It was as if there was nothing that could change his expression. “I’ll block them. You two go as far as you can.”
Gu Hua slightly raised her head to look at him. The teenager’s aloof appearance was so much so that even his slight frown was accompanied by an indescribable scholarly aura. She laughed at her own description, covering her mouth and looking at the little hero who had already decided to sacrifice himself to save them.
Gu Hua touched the tip of her nose. “Are you really planning on blocking it yourself?” Glancing at his shoulders that had yet to fully develop, Gu Hua asked in doubt, “Are you sure you can go all out against it? Even if we delay it, it will still catch up to us and we will all die. ”
“Then what do you think we should do?” Gu Ming actually wasn’t angry at Gu Hua’s direct attack. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Hua Wei: “Besides greed, the ancient fierce beast Taotie doesn’t have any fatal flaws.” They can’t kill it.
“The method is very simple,” Gu Hua turned her head and saw the shadow of the Taotie getting closer and closer, and silently smiled, “Do you still remember the illusion inside the city? Xiao thought of something that does not belong to us, allowing the Taotie to have an opportunity. However, we did not use the things inside, nor did we touch anything that does not belong to us, so have you thought about why the Taotie is chasing us? ”
Gu Ming was momentarily enlightened. His eyes instantly lit up as he looked at Gu Hua Wei. “You mean, greedy?” He clearly had his doubts, but when his tone was firm, Gu Hua Wei knew that he understood.
“Indeed.”
The power of the Taotie came from greed, then, one of them must have some greed in their heart. This greed was like a poison, making the Taotie addicted, it chased after them because it had yet to get the person with greed.
As for that person, Gu Hua Wei looked at his palm and laughed silently. Just who could that person be?
“Throw that greedy person down and the Taotie will naturally leave.”
“No!” Gu Ming immediately rejected it. “No way!”
Gu Hua raised her eyes and smiled at him. That smile was faint, yet it carried an indescribable look. Her thin lips slightly parted as she asked, “Who do you think I’m going to throw away?”
Her smile was as warm as spring, but it caused Gu Ming’s entire body to tremble. “I won’t allow you to throw him away!”
It was evident that ‘he’ was someone among the three brothers. However, even if he were to die, it would be impossible for them to separate from him.
“I just want to throw him down!” Gu Hua blinked playfully. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were no longer as sorry as they were at first glance. Instead, they were unspeakably fierce. “One of us must live on!” As long as the greedy person died, the Taotie would naturally give way, and there was no need to harm useless personnel.
