Chapter 92 Get to work, you gluttons! Little Nine's about to die!! ...
The torrential rain finally stopped.
The dark clouds seemed to fade, quickly turning white in the sky before gradually dissipating.
In what should have been a pitch-black night sky, a glimmer of colorful light appeared.
The light spread across the sky, its color coalescing into a snowy white, like a moon hanging in the heavens.
It's obvious that a Kui ox has come out.
Xiao Jiu quietly walked outside and then gently closed the door.
He stood in front of the house and listened carefully to the sounds around him, then ran straight up the mountain.
It had just rained, and water droplets still clung to the flowers and grass on the ground. When Xiao Jiu ran by, the plants swayed in the wind he created.
The water droplets shook off and fell onto the lower leaves, making a rustling sound.
The entire mountain is covered with spirit flowers, and after running a short distance, you can see a snow-white tree that takes two or three people to encircle.
These saplings emitted the same soft white light as their true forms, allowing Xiao Jiu to easily see the path beneath her feet.
When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw only a blue cow with only one leg.
Hearing the noise, the ox twitched its tubular ears and looked up at Xiao Jiu.
The eyes of the Kui Niu are a strange golden-black color.
The sclera of those eyes were jet black, but the ring-shaped irises were exceptionally bright, like molten gold, shining brightly and conspicuously.
Kui Niu stared at Xiao Jiu for a while, then nodded to Xiao Jiu as a greeting.
He seemed to know what Xiao Jiu wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything. He just raised his thick, fish-scale-covered tail and pointed down the mountain.
Xiao Jiu blinked in confusion, but he was too busy to ask any questions. He hurriedly greeted the Kui Niu and Granny Tai Li in the tree before continuing to run down the mountain.
Behind him, the Kui Niu swung its snake-like tail and looked up at the spirit tree in the middle of the lake.
A sigh came from the tree.
"well......"
The direction the Kui ox was pointing was precisely where the farmland was located.
Originally, the farmland and the elf cabin were not far apart, but as more and more creatures came to this world, everyone was afraid that the little guys might be accidentally hurt by the mutated flowers, so they simply used this mountain to separate the two.
The foot of this side of the mountain is a residential area, while the opposite side is a planting area.
The planting area was surrounded by a magic array, so from a distance it looked like an ordinary flower and grass field.
Xiao Jiu followed a location from her memory and went there.
As he took another step to the right of a small fairy tree, his vision was suddenly obscured by something, and all he could see was pure white.
In most cases, when faced with this situation, the vast majority of creatures would instinctively close their eyes, but Xiao Jiu simply kept her eyes open and looked ahead.
So, when the white thing became fine and misty, it began to sway with a unique rhythm.
Without any transition, the scene before Xiao Jiu's eyes changed instantly.
In his field of vision, there were ten square plots of farmland lined up together, each about two hundred square meters in size. Their edges were joined together, forming a huge planting area.
At this time, the mutated flowers planted in the farmland were withered and drooping on the ground, clearly indicating that they had not been harvested in time and had become damaged.
In a nearby field, the vegetables planted had turned brownish-black and were clearly rotten.
Xiao Jiu spotted the figures at the edge of the farmland at a glance.
It wasn't that Xiao Jiu had sharp eyes, but rather that the fur ball next to those figures was unusually large.
The ball of fur was shrouded in a thick red mist, making it look exactly like a small mountain brimming with blood and gore.
Without thinking, Xiao Jiu ran straight in that direction.
If he had looked closely, he would have noticed that Qian Chuan, Fu Yu, and Xie Chuanfeng, who were surrounding that "small hill," were in rather strange postures.
They stood with their legs apart, slightly crouching, their hands forming a dense and sharp spiritual energy.
—This is clearly a posture of extreme vigilance, ready to strike at any moment.
But Xiao Jiu didn't notice at all.
He had been wanting to play with everyone for hours, and all he wanted to do right now was rush over and hug them.
Xiao Jiu's speed isn't actually considered fast among zombies, but his strength is incredibly great.
He exerted great force every time he pushed off the ground, and the spirit flowers blooming all over the mountains were indeed quite resilient, so those flowers could bounce him up, which made Xiao Jiu feel like he was flying.
With another powerful push off the ground, Xiao Jiu leaped high into the air.
With a quick turn and spin, he appeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
Fu Yu and the others clearly hadn't reacted at all.
"Xiao Jiu! Wait—"
Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, Xiao Jiu excitedly lunged towards the "small mountain."
"Dog!"
Xiao Jiu, like an arrow, swiftly landed on Taotie.
Although Taotie has not "hatched" after all these years, his body can change size according to his will.
This wasn't the first time Xiao Jiu had seen Taotie like this, and he wasn't afraid at all.
But if he just thought about it, he would realize that in the decades since they met, Taotie had never used such a large form.
The true form of a demon beast is directly proportional to its strength, which means that the current Taotie is not quite right.
"Xiao Jiu! Get out of the way!"
Almost at the same instant the scream rang out, beneath Xiao Jiu, the Taotie's enormous body slumped down like a sponge.
"Pfft—"
A thick, almost black, blood mist suddenly emerged from the Taotie's body.
The blood mist was like a sharp sword, stabbing straight towards Xiao Jiu.
At the same time, three distinct streams of spiritual energy surged from the ground.
They rushed towards the front of the blood mist, trying to block the attack for Xiao Jiu.
"Bang!"
The spiritual energies collided, creating a gust of wind.
Qian Chuan, skilled in close combat, was covered in black scales. He wielded a two-meter-long golden-red giant sword and rushed towards Xiao Jiu at an incredible speed.
However, the blood mist seemed to be alive.
In an instant, it split into several streams, one twisting towards Qianchuan's body, and the other sharp and pointed, mercilessly stabbing towards the top of Qianchuan's head.
The blood mist was moving too fast, flashing through the air like water ripples, and Qianchuan's movements suddenly seemed to be paused.
Qianchuan is a spinning tortoise, and spinning tortoises are not agile, so even though Qianchuan tried his best before, he could only barely dodge.
And if he hesitated for a moment, he would have no chance to avoid it.
Just as the blood mist was about to smash Qianchuan's head to pieces, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared.
With a crisp metallic clang, the blood mist shattered the green spiritual energy, and in the blink of an eye, a sword was knocked to the ground.
With a crack, the sword broke apart.
Xie Chuanfeng swayed and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just then, a red object, resembling both silk and stone, flew by and helped him up.
Fu Yu pulled, clearing the way for Qian Chuan by pushing aside the blood mist and creating a momentary opening for him.
Xie Chuanfeng exerted his strength again, rising up on his sword.
He and Qianchuan were pushed by Fuyu and rushed towards Xiaojiu and Taotie like a streak of light.
However, the speed of the blood mist still exceeded their expectations.
They couldn't even see anything clearly.
By the time he realized what was happening, he was already experiencing a sharp pain in his chest and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
When they finally managed to stabilize their spiritual power, which had been tainted by the blood energy, and struggled to look up, they were met with a sight that made their eyes widen in horror.
—A wisp of blood mist, like a sword, had already pierced through Xiao Jiu's chest.
Fu Yu's eyes were filled with the props that Xiao Jiu had replaced for him back then. The gray dots shrunk and expanded in his eyes, so he could clearly see a bloody heart piercing through the blood mist.
The heart was still beating.
Thump, thump.
But with each jump, a large spurt of blood would gush out.
"Xiao Jiu!!!"
Fuyu shouted and pounced on him like a madman.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the red marks at the corners of his eyes looked like they were about to bleed.
A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted around him, even mixed with wisps of black mist.
Xie Chuanfeng shouted, "Fuyu!"
Fu Yu was on the verge of going mad; he couldn't hear anything.
He was like a spear made of blood, charging forward with reckless abandon.
However, before he could get close, the blood mist surrounding the Taotie began to move again.
The dark red blood mist, like a net covered with sharp knives, blocked Fu Yu's path directly in front of him.
Kefuyu still didn't dodge.
If they rush over at this speed, there's no doubt that Fuyu will be torn to pieces.
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow flashed by.
He shoved Fuyu backward and then crashed into the bloody web himself.
"clang!"
The blood net flickered, and streams of blood mist gushed out from the gaps in Qianchuan's scales, instantly staining the snow-white spirit flowers beneath his feet red.
A complex array flashed across Qian Chuan's body.
The restrictions that Taotie had once imposed on them have been broken.
"Oh no!"
Xie Chuanfeng immediately activated his spiritual power: "Qianchuan! Be careful!"
However, before he could finish speaking, the Taotie beside him suddenly twitched as if in a strange manner.
Suddenly, a slit appeared on the body of this enormous black beast.
The slit was crooked and widened towards the side of Taotie's face, almost splitting his head in two.
Its mouth opened, revealing a set of sharp teeth that gleamed with a ghostly blue light.
"come over--"
Qianchuan, who had been struggling to resist something, suddenly froze.
He stood up, slapping away the magical artifacts and talismans that were trying to help resist the blood mist with one hand, and then forcefully breaking free from Fu Yu's hand, so forcefully that Fu Yu was thrown into the ground.
Smoke and dust rose everywhere.
Qianchuan seemed to have lost his soul, and walked blankly toward the huge mouth.
The blood flowing from his body mingled with the blood mist surrounding the Taotie, and in just a second, Qianchuan's scales were stained crimson.
The scales on his body made a cracking sound as a scale was peeled off, causing him to freeze in pain.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xie Chuanfeng swiftly struck Qian Chuan's knee, causing him to stumble.
A fiery red figure swept past, dragging Qianchuan downwards, barely managing to dodge the Taotie's powerful bite.
However, they could dodge one attack but not the second.
The Taotie's body is as huge as a mountain, yet it is incredibly agile.
The surrounding land was uprooted, and the rotting vegetables in the farmland were crushed to a pulp.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The blood mist filled every inch of air, completely disrupting their senses.
Xie Chuanfeng bit his tongue, forcing out a breath of spiritual energy, and painstakingly broke through a path.
"Walk!"
However, just as Fu Yu and Xie Chuanfeng were about to escape with Qian Chuan, a foul stench swept over them.
It was a huge mouth.
Unbeknownst to them, the Taotie had silently appeared in the middle of their retreat route.
The sharp tooth pierced down in an instant, leaving only a faint glimmer of light on the retinas of the three of them.
Just as the sharp teeth pierced their skin, a sound suddenly emanated from that eerie mouth—
"Ugh."
Having narrowly escaped disaster, Fu Yu and Xie Chuanfeng quickly pulled Qian Chuan back.
Once they were some distance apart, they saw a figure blocking the giant mouth.
His skin was bluish-gray, and there was a large hole in his back.
The hole pierced right through his body, and through the opening, one could see the Taotie's scarlet mouth.
"Xiao Jiu!!"
Xiao Jiu held the Taotie's upper teeth with both hands and stepped on its uneven lower teeth, completely unaffected by the venom on them.
The next second, he removed his foot from the Taotie's teeth.
Amid Fu Yu's exclamation, he suddenly exerted force on his hand.
Xiao Jiu: "Hey ha!"
The Taotie, which was as big as a small mountain, was overturned to the ground by him.
"Thump!!"
The ground trembled beneath his feet, and Qianchuan, jolted awake, immediately regained his senses.
He quickly looked ahead and met Xiao Jiu's dark eyes.
Just as Qian Chuan was about to say something, he saw Xiao Jiu, whose chest was exposed to the wind, pout and cry.
"The new clothes Qianchuan made for me are ruined! Waaah—"
Qianchuan was stunned for a moment by the crying, then quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay! Don't cry, Xiao Jiu, I'll make you another one."
Xiao Jiu was sobbing.
The Taotie, whose mouth was being held by him, struggled to roll on the ground in an attempt to break free.
Taotie's thick limbs kicked wildly in the air at great speed, and finally, it slapped Xiao Jiu with one claw.
With a whoosh, Xiao Jiu was sent flying by his slap; the speed was so fast that the eyes could barely keep up.
However, before Fu Yu and the others could catch up, the thick blood mist suddenly churned, and a shadow like a cannonball rushed back.
The gluttonous beast opened its mouth to bite, but its two rows of teeth got stuck.
Xiao Jiu squatted down angrily: "Doggy! You're tearing the house apart!"
He tensed all his muscles and suddenly twisted his body.
"Thump!"
Taotie was thrown to the ground again.
Unfortunately, there happened to be a clump of laurel grass in that spot.
Upon impact, Taotie was sent flying, and Xiao Jiu, still holding on, was also sent flying everywhere.
At this moment, Xiao Jiu looked as if she were holding a giant hammer.
He tapped and played along the way.
With each flick, a puff of blood mist bursts from the body of the "hammer" Taotie. As they flick and flick, the Taotie becomes like a spray can, hissing and spraying out red paint.
Fu Yu, Xie Chuanfeng, Qian Chuan: ......
They stared blankly at the scene before them, momentarily forgetting to react.
When the situation of shooting blood mist while being attacked finally stopped, Taotie's body had shrunk considerably.
Seeing that the Taotie was about to bite, Xiao Jiu showed no mercy and smacked it on the head.
The Taotie's eyes opened like a switch, and then it spat out several things from its mouth.
It was a little white kitten, a yellow fox, a giant white cat with a fox-like tail, and...
A golden, pirated Taotie.
The authentic Taotie had already closed its eyes and collapsed completely on the ground.
Xiao Jiu grabbed Taotie's head and shook it, then immediately jumped off him.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Xiao Jiu turned to look at Taotie and shouted, then turned to look at the "victims" on the ground and shouted again. However, he kept repeating these three words, speaking very quickly and without any fluctuation in tone, which made people dizzy and uneasy.
Finally, the Suanni on the ground, covered in saliva, struggled a few times.
He shook his fur and stood up unsteadily: "So noisy..."
However, as soon as his gaze focused, he saw Xiao Jiu with a large hole in his chest.
A smile bloomed on Xiao Jiu's bloodshot face: "Meow! Are you alright? Did you get wet in the rain?"
Suanni: ! ! ? ?
Is it now a question of whether or not we get wet in the rain?
The Suanni didn't care about anything else and rushed straight to the unconscious system, giving it a swipe of its claw.
The gleaming gold system seemed to have frozen, repeatedly muttering, "Rules, rules, rules..."
Enraged, the Suanni swelled up into a giant beast several meters tall.
He slammed his claw into the system and roared angrily.
"Get up and get to work! Xiao Jiu is about to die!!"
