Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow enveloped Imona, causing her to involuntarily raise her head.

At that moment, a magnificent, towering mountain, like a pillar stabilizing the sea, appeared before Imona and Dodge.

Looking at the somewhat barren mountain covered with yellowish-brown rocks, Imona suddenly stopped in her tracks.

At the same time, a hint of shyness, a hint of fear, and a faint sense of anticipation flashed in Imona's eyes...

Dodge, seeing his mother stop, also braked.

"What's wrong, Mother? Aren't you going to chase after them anymore?" Dodge asked, looking puzzled.

"Let's hold off for now and wait and see." Hearing Dodge's question, Imona's eyes regained their sharpness, and she said calmly, "We've arrived at the Void Giant's lair, Mount Giant Emperor."

"A nest?!" Dodge looked up in astonishment, unable to see where the mountaintop ended, the colossal Emperor Mountain standing like a pillar of heaven.

Such a huge... nest...

My biological father... huh...

Dodge's expression instantly became complicated.

at the same time.

Just as Imona and Dodge stopped their pursuit, Zog, who was fleeing at top speed ahead, discovered something quite strange.

That is... Zuo Ge discovered that no matter whether he flew to the left or the right, after flying for a while, he would always involuntarily turn and head towards the mountaintop.

It was as if... something had affected his perception, making it impossible for him to avoid the mountain.

“Damn it… there’s definitely something wrong with this mountain!” Zog said to Lilith.

“There is indeed a problem…” Lilith frowned, because she felt a very strong attraction emanating from this enormous mountain range.

This attraction is so powerful that it almost reaches the level of a rule, making any being that sees it irresistibly drawn to get closer.

“There’s definitely something on the mountaintop!” Lilith said with certainty. “And it’s something extraordinary.”

"Something extraordinary... Can you sense whether it's an object or an unknown creature?" Zog continued to ask.

Lilith shook her head. "I can't sense it. However, whatever it is, the fact that there's no life on this mountain tells us that whatever's on the summit is very dangerous!"

Listening to Lilith's analysis, Zog fell silent.

Wolves in front... tigers behind...

What should we do?

After a long while, Zuo Ge regained some of his composure and asked Lilith, whom he was carrying, "Lilith, how long until you can recover your strength?"

Lilith stretched out her small hand, clenched her fist, and then released it again. "It'll probably take less than 10 minutes. Because the demonic energy in this world is very dense, the seal will be broken much faster than I expected."

Ten minutes...

Zuo Ge breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, half of the countless pale yellow eyes on his body had closed.

This makes the left side of Zuo Ge's body look like that of a normal human being.

The question now is whether he can climb this mountain in ten minutes...

Looking at the mountain peaks piercing the purple clouds, Zuo Ge felt a pang of regret.

If the female demon behind him hadn't already broken through to the Demon Emperor level, reaching the Half-Emperor level, and wielding an Emperor-level weapon, why would he need to run? He would have already killed that female demon long ago...

Now we'll see whether he leads Lilith to the top of the mountain first, or whether Lilith recovers her strength first.

Otherwise, if they were intercepted by the unknown creatures on the mountaintop and then surrounded by the female demons behind them, they could basically start making arrangements for their own demise.

After a brief analysis, Zuo Ge continued sprinting at the same pace.

There was nothing he could do... The oppressive feeling behind him hadn't disappeared, which meant he hadn't shaken off the female demon, so Zuo Ge didn't dare slow down at all.

*Smack!*

A soft sound.

One of the pale yellow eyes on Zuo Ge's back disappeared in an instant.

However, Zuo Ge was already used to it and didn't care at all. He continued to look up at the mountain peak that pierced into the depths of the purplish-red clouds.

Now... it's a battle of speed and duration...

Rumble...

Suddenly, the yellowish-brown mountain peak began to tremble slightly.

This sudden tremor caused the gravel and sand on the mountain peak to begin rolling downhill.

Even so, Zog did not slow down his upward charge. After all... compared to the unknown, the female demon they were completely outmatched posed the greatest threat to them.

One is the possibility of being taken down... the other is certainty of being taken down...

Zuo Ge can clearly distinguish the pros and cons.

Just then, the trembling mountain continued to change.

Thick, black plants are growing rapidly from the soil and rocks on the mountain's surface.

In no time, the once yellowish mountain peak was transformed into a brush covered in black bristles.

At the foot of Mount Giant, Imona and Dodge were quietly watching the changes taking place.

“It’s starting…” Imona’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

"What? When does it start?" Dodge still asked with a questioning look.

“The expansion of Mount Giant…” Imona’s eyes sparkled, brimming with tears.

“Expansion…” Dodge murmured to himself, his face filled with longing.

"The expansion means... the Void Giant is awakening... At this time, any creature that approaches the Giant's lair will be attacked by the Void Giant, who is grumpy when it wakes up."
