Chapter 179 The oriole is behind
“That woman is very good at using emotions to deceive people. In short, if you are not careful, you can easily fall into her trap.” After saying that, Gongzhan prepared to go into the bamboo forest: “I’m going in to pick up some scraps now. You stay here. As long as you cross the boundary of the bamboo forest, you will still be at the intersection of the two territories and will not be punished by the rules.”
"You became a level three cub because you were punished by the rules?" Lu He sighed. Luckily, he hadn't crossed the bamboo forest and had been stopped by Gong Zhan, otherwise he might have become a useless cub as well.
"Your punishment may vary; it's different for everyone. Ask your system yourself. I'm going in now." Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of red light and flew into the bamboo forest.
By this time, Zhiyan had already exchanged blows with the blue-haired man several times.
There was a formation blocking Nagi and Jianjian's path, preventing him from leaving with Jianjian.
"Open the barrier and let them out!" Zhiyan's tone was cold, with a hint of slight anger.
"Heh, I can't beat you anyway. If I let them go, you'll be free to kill me. Are you stupid or am I stupid?" The blue-haired man sneered and threw the spirit blade in Nagi's direction again.
Nagi had no choice but to continue carrying Jianjian and fleeing around the array.
It's clear that he's struggling, after all, he's only level eight, which is already at its limit in terms of both speed and defense.
A blade of spiritual energy shot straight toward Nagi's temple. Several blades had already cornered him, and now he had no way to dodge it.
The only way was to push Jianjian in front of him to block her.
He gritted his teeth. If this blow hit his head, he would surely die. So he made a quick decision, released Jianjian with both hands, and set up a shield. He decided to block it with his hands.
Unsurprisingly, after enduring the opponent's spiritual power, he spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling his blood churning and unable to withstand it.
Jianjian supported the swaying Nagiya: "Brother Nagiya, are you alright?"
Hearing Jianjian's voice, Zhiyan turned around and realized that Nagi was injured.
Seeing that she was distracted, the blue-haired man immediately threw another flying blade straight at Jianjian.
They actually killed a defenseless little girl!
Zhiyan dove down and hugged Jianjian, her protective spiritual energy shattering the opponent's flying blade.
"I was originally holding back, trying to spare your life, but you didn't want it, so don't blame me!" Zhiyan was completely determined to kill Jianjian because of the other party's behavior of chasing after her.
"Enough with the nonsense!" The blue-haired man pulled out a string of bells from his pocket. "Is this what you want? Hahaha, leave your lives behind!"
Could this be the treasure he was talking about?
"No! That's not what we're looking for!" Jianjian shouted.
But it was too late. The man had already shaken the bell, which produced a series of clear, resonant sounds that struck right to the heart and lungs.
"Oh no, this thing will destabilize the inner core of the demon spirit! Cough cough!" Nagi coughed violently again, spitting out a lot of blood. The Qi Sea that she originally wanted to regulate was now vibrating because of the sound of the bell.
For Zhiyan, who was at level fourteen, this impact was negligible. She was a demon beast with one foot in the level fifteen Great Demon realm, and the other party underestimated her.
“Sister Jianjian, there’s no need to say anything more to him. This kind of barbaric fellow is unreasonable. Just kill him.”
Zhiyan held Jianjian's hand tightly, saying softly, "Hold on tight!" Her other hand glowed with foxfire, transforming into a long spear.
She charged forward with the gun in one hand, the tip of the gun dancing in the air like a fine rainstorm, the tip like a dragon, creating arcs of light as she moved, like a serpent emerging from its hole, incredibly powerful.
The blue-haired man was forced into retreat, gradually losing ground. He began to plot again, once more throwing out his spirit blade in an attempt to distract Nagi and distract them.
To everyone's surprise, the giant fire fox didn't even glance back at its companion, its spear aimed straight at his throat, leaving no opening whatsoever.
"Holy crap!" Nagi exclaimed, rolling on the ground with all her might to save her life.
"Sister! Brother Nagi-ya..." Jianjian saw Nagi-ya vomiting blood again and timidly reminded Zhiyan.
"Don't worry about him, he won't die... Hold me tight and don't move..." The spear tips, like a storm, were aimed straight at the opponent's vital points, and the killing intent surged.
The entire spearhead was covered in blazing foxfire; even if you dodged it, each strike would be enough to take a chunk of skin off your opponent.
The blue-haired man realized he was outmatched and might really be killed if things continued this way, so he tried to beg for mercy: "Lord Fire Fox, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please spare me, and I'll give you the treasure..."
"I don't care..." Zhiyan replied coldly; all she wanted to do now was crush this wild demon.
Before the man could say anything more, a beam of light descended from above, slashing down through the blind spot of Zhiyan's spear tip and splitting the blue-haired man in two.
"Who!" Zhiyan instinctively hugged Jianjian tightly, turned around quickly, and thrust forward with one hand, pressing the tip of the gun against the throat of a strange boy.
"I'm here to kill this blue ox; I'm here to help you." The young man raised his hand to indicate that he meant no harm.
For some reason, there was a friendly feeling about him; I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before, like we were very familiar with each other.
Zhiyan sheathed her spear and cautiously examined the young man: "You have the scent of fire fox blood on you, are you also a member of the fire fox clan?"
“That’s right, but I’m a half-fox and don’t go back to Hundred Steps Hill often. My mother is a fire fox…” This young man was none other than Gong Zhan. Now that he had returned to his own territory, he naturally no longer needed to acknowledge Xiao Jiu’s identity.
It's normal for fire foxes to have a natural affinity for their own kind, so Zhiyan dispelled her doubts.
Gongzhan walked over and searched the body of the dead Green Ox Demon Beast. He picked up the bell, put it in his pocket, and secretly used his internal energy to take out the inner core from the dead Green Ox Demon Beast's sea of qi, hiding it silently in his palm.
"You're the one he's targeting to steal the treasure, aren't you?" Zhiyan raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased that she'd inexplicably become someone else's henchman: "Have you been hiding in the bamboo forest the whole time?"
"Uh, I'm innocent! I just arrived." His main strategy was to deny it to the death. After all, they had spent time together, and he knew his sister's temper. If she knew he was using her, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave the bamboo forest unscathed.
"It's a pity we came all this way for nothing." Zhiyan looked at Jianjian apologetically: "Your parents' belongings..."
"It's okay, sister, we'll look for it slowly! Thank you so much for being so good to me~" Jianjian hugged Zhiyan and nuzzled her head against her affectionately.
"I'm definitely going to give Xiao Jiu a good scolding when we get out." Zhiyan smiled gently, affectionately patting Jianjian's head. Humans are so soft and cuddly, they're so cute!
Gongzhan, standing to the side, was sneezing uncontrollably, feeling a chill run from head to toe.
"Can you still walk?" Zhiyan asked Nagiya with a hint of concern as she passed by.
Nagi was both amused and exasperated: "Uh, yes, Yan Yan, your concern is so perfunctory..."
"Stop whining, let's go..." Zhiyan still held Jianjian in one arm, the difference in treatment was too great.
"Sister, I can get down and walk by myself." Jianjian blushed a little under Nagi's mournful gaze.
"You are hurt……"
"No, sister. You've protected me very well. It's Nagi-ya who..."
"You were frightened..."
"I'm not afraid, sister~"
"Quiet……"
Only Nagi followed silently behind them, limping along alone, her heart already filled with tears.
Gongzhan followed, smiling broadly: "Brother Nagi, would you like me to help you up?"
"You, a level 10 demon beast, are calling me 'big brother'? That's too much of an honor for me!" Nagiya said, looking unhappy.
The inner core of the Azure Ox that Gongzhan just stole will be given to Lu He as payment later, since they still need to find a way to pry the incantation of the Phoenix Power out of Tan You's mouth.
He passed on the incantation to Chi Yu, the inner elixir to Chi Yu, and all his favoritism to Chi Yu.
No wonder this guy turned into a villain. Disharmony between children is mostly due to the lack of morality of the elders. This saying is true everywhere.
The transmigrator who possessed Gongzhan's body had no feelings for Tan You, but he could understand how much the original character must have hated this biased father.
