The mountain demon god who was as big as a hill let out a long breath, and there was a glimmer of hope under his ghost face and fangs.
Although he was confident that he could defeat most of the demon gods in Liyue, he was definitely not someone he could defeat the damned Rock Demon God. However, it just so happened that—
That guy's attention was attracted by the demon god causing chaos in the sea, and the formation protecting Guili Ji collapsed because of the little Yaksha, leaving a corner missing, allowing him to enter.
Now even if other Yakshas become aware of the situation, they will still be busy dealing with the large number of demons that are pouring in through the hole that He squeezed in.
Neither the Rock Demon nor the mad dog guarding the house are able to spare the time to deal with Him for the time being.
Next, He only needs to calmly eat up all the humans in Guiliji before they come back, and His strength will usher in a period of steady growth.
After that, all you have to do is find a hidden place to avoid being hunted down and wait for it to be digested.
When He thought of the pleasant future just around the corner, He couldn't help but want to sing a song.
In these troubled times, eating is the ultimate expression of happiness.
And to be eaten by a demon god like him, to be transformed into nutrients and live forever with him, is the happiest thing for tiny and pathetic human beings.
As his thoughts turned, he naturally noticed the blood-soaked girl on the ground. The fragrance emanating from her body, a mixture of immortal and human blood, made him even more salivate.
He couldn't help but grin, revealing an ugly smile mixed with desire.
"What a lucky and unlucky girl."
He stretched out his hand towards the girl, and held it together with the shield in his huge palm, which looked as if it would shatter at any time.
"However, life is short and the path to immortality is elusive. If you can become my food, it is worth your birth into this world."
The mountain ghost demon picked it up and placed it in front of the big face, observing it with a hint of cunning in his ghost eyes.
Although He cannot break the shield, as long as He moves it away from the ground and loses the continuous support of rock elements, this mechanical rock shield will turn into a pool of blood in His stomach within a few decades, along with the person and the shield.
"...Mmmm, this just proves what you humans say, 'Being able to eat is a blessing.' Well... I don't like it, so I'll change it to 'Being eaten is a blessing' from now on, okay?"
He opened his mouth playfully, ready to loosen his fingers and swallow the girl and the mechanical rock shield into his mouth.
At this critical moment, Gui Zhong's figure finally appeared not far away, shouting angrily: "—Mountain Barbarian Demon, let go of my people and get out of my territory!"
As her voice fell, hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired from behind her, each of which was powerful enough to pierce through a lion-sized demon.
This volley of fire directly pierced the mountain ghost's demon into a hedgehog, while the shield on the girl's body firmly resisted the attack of the crossbow arrows, and the luster on the shield was as bright as before.
But this also means that for this powerful demon god, the crossbow arrows that only rely on the advantages of iron without too much elemental power are not enough to hurt him at all.
Instead, his violent temper was directly revealed. He roared wildly and waved his hand to sweep away the subsequent crossbow arrows. A mountain-smashing hammer appeared in his hand and he smashed the ground with it.
The dust and sand that had been tangled under his feet at some point in time were instantly shaken away, and a shock wave that cracked the earth swept towards Guizhong's location.
At the moment she was injured, the mountain ghost demon showed a hideous smile of success, but did not notice a wave of dust hidden in the rain of arrows. He snatched the girl from his hands, wrapped her up and quickly moved away.
At this time, the mountain ghost demon discovered that the figure hit by his attack turned into a wisp of dust and dissipated, and it was actually a fake body made of sand!
First use the Guizhong Crossbow to make him relax his vigilance, then use the Dust Clone to draw his attention, and finally hide in the rain of arrows and take back the hostage in a flash. It is a series of plans that are almost completed instantly.
If it was a newborn demon like Guoba, he would probably not even have time to react to what was happening before he succeeded.
However, the mountain ghost demon is different. Although He did not expect the other party to put himself in danger, it does not mean that He is stupid.
Even if he does have a stupid face, that's just an appearance.
At the moment when Gui Zhong succeeded, the mountain ghost demon didn't care at all, and didn't care whether she escaped or not, but rushed straight to where Gui Li Ji was.
He knew very well where these kind and weak demons really stood out.
Their love for “people” is their greatest weakness.
He raised the mountain-smashing hammer high and pounded it towards the nearest and most unsightly big house. The deafening noise instantly shattered the dust and sand fortress built by Guizhong, and along with the sand flowing out was the blood mud that was almost melted into it.
The flying sand that was withdrawing from the battlefield at a high speed seemed to be frozen in an instant and stopped in place. The Guizhong that appeared from it glared at it with sadness in his eyes.
After doing all this, the Mountain Ghost Demon God saw Gui Zhong's expression and pretended to say with regret.
"…Huh, there's food hidden inside? What a waste! I prefer to see food in its original state. This is all I can do now—"
He stretched out his legs and stomped the ground hard, as if he wanted to grind the dust into even finer particles.
On the remains of the house, only a thin layer of blood fat and sand was left.
This action has completely aroused Gui Zhong's anger. She stared at the other party, gathering a large amount of dust in her hands, and sent the girl away.
"Oh? You're not going to run away with that little ration?"
After doing all this, the Mountain Demon God glanced disdainfully at the girl who was sent out of Guiliji, and then turned his head to look at the weak demon god with a cold face who was still maintaining his human body.
This weak thing mixed with the taste of sand is so sticky that it makes your mouth ache even when you swallow it.
"Shut up, you noisy mountain devil. Next, I will drag you into the hell of dust and sand at the risk of my life—"
Finally, he stared at Him coldly.
"Fight to the death? Ah, you weak demons and humans really like this, always saying stupid things like fighting to the death and for the country.
It is because I am too weak and only have these insignificant things left that I often show them off—"
The ghost face revealed an extremely human expression of contempt, and a third eye opened in the center of its forehead, staring at Gui Zhong with malice.
"Since you like to fight so hard, then give it a try and see how effective your attack can be and how much fragile food you can protect."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the hammer again, and another room and the people hiding inside were in a desperate situation.
But this time, the dust on the ground was completely condensed and surged out from the place where he smashed hard, and the force was transferred by it like waves, and it was sprinkled out sideways like water splashing, which completely covered and hid the house.
This attack did not have the expected effect. The mountain ghost demon suddenly felt extremely humiliated, and his face turned as red as a boiling hot pot.
In the end, he said nothing, took a step back lightly, and his body merged into the invisible dust.
Strong winds and sand blew up the moment it disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, a mysterious sand array covered an area of 100 miles.
The coverage area is so large that it even encompasses the entire Guili Set, turning the entire Guili Plain into a desert made of sand.
Chapter 49: Hard Fight to No Result
The yellow sand was blinding, and Guiliyuan, which had completely turned into a barren desert, no longer looked like the human market it once was.
No one could tell from this that a large group of people once lived here.
This is Guizhong's way of protecting his people, but this action cannot last long because the oxygen people can breathe is limited.
Now that she was completely buried in the dust, she could not open a specific breathing hole, otherwise she would be noticed by the mountain demon and would be attacked directly.
In other words, this battle must be resolved within a limited time—
Otherwise, her people would die under her "protection" before any other demons did.
This sadness and powerlessness seem to form an hourglass.
As the sand continued to fall, the lives of her people seemed to fall with it.
Therefore, we must do our best and use everything we can to drive it out!
As the will of return was given, a large amount of chaotic quicksand began to unfold under the feet of the mountain ghost demon.
Using the "laws" that he had learned from observing whirlpools in the sea in the past, he artificially controlled the dust and sand, constantly calculated, and in just a moment he created a sand pit array that was large enough to swallow a hill.
Most of the body of the mountain ghost demon was sunk into the dust and sand, with only his head barely showing. But even so, he did not give up resistance.
The third eye on the forehead has locked onto Guizhong's location.
Then, there was a purple-black light that almost broke through the sky, sweeping away all the dust flying along the way.
And in the end, he managed to avoid it in a very dangerous situation!
The lightning shot out by the ghost eyes blasted a large open space in the desert behind it, and even the ruins and remains of houses were faintly visible.
After doing all this, the mountain ghost, demon, and ghost, whose face had originally flushed red, revealed a ferocious smile again.
"It seems that you don't care about your people as much as you say. If you hadn't dodged just now, they wouldn't have died, right?"
"..."
Gui Zhong, whose figure steadied from the dust, remained silent, with his hands clasped together to form a triangle-like gesture.
The dust and sand on both sides of the ugly and huge head suddenly poured out, completely covering its head.
If it were a living thing, it would die in fear of being deprived of senses, oxygen, and having its head constantly squeezed.
However, this has no effect on the mountain ghost demon.
The muffled voice wrapped in the sand continued: "It's meaningless. Everything you do is meaningless—"
The body, which was buried deeper and deeper in the sand and should have been powerless, was constantly expanding at this time. The hill-like body rose to a height almost as high as Mount Tianheng.
The dust that was enough to trap Him now seemed as insignificant as some sand and mud on His body.
Although the huge head that saw the light of day again was still covered with a lot of dust, a pair of ghostly eyes were still revealed. He stared at Gui Zhong, whose face was extremely gloomy, in a playful manner.
"You and I are born unequal. Even if thousands of grains of sand gather together, they cannot shake the mountain. Didn't the Rock Demon who raised you tell you this?"
This sentence finally aroused Gui Zhong's reaction, and she spoke coldly.
“He and I are friends, not subordinates. But even if I explain it clearly, a mean-spirited person like you won’t understand.
——You are a self-centered, evil mountain demon. It is because of your despicable behavior that no other demon gods will be with you. "
"Wow... you're quite eloquent."
Despite being insulted like this, the mountain ghost demon god did not react at all, and even still maintained that condescending attitude, staring at the end who seemed as tiny as a bug in his eyes.
"Since you said that you are His friend, not just a person of interest, then why hasn't He come to rescue you yet?"
When Gui Zhong's face became even more angry, the mountain ghost demon sneered and said.
“Although I live among the mountains, I have occasionally heard a few treasure hunters who went into the mountains talk about what a friend is, which is to help others when you see them in danger.
I was quite interested in this, so I picked out one of the three foods to eat, and if the other two were willing to sacrifice themselves for their friends, I would spare them.
On the other hand, if you don't want to sacrifice, you can take the treasure away.
They were trembling with fear, and it was not until their friend's hand was bitten off by me that one of them panicked and shouted that he wanted to take his place, and asked the guy with the missing hand to take care of his family.
The other person, however, insisted that they should take the treasure and leave, remember their friend's sacrifice, and help take care of his family in the future. As a result, after they came down the mountain, they did not mention the matter at all.
As if he found the so-called "friend" ridiculous, he grinned and mocked.
"In the final analysis, food exists in this way. You who are mixed with them cannot avoid being affected.
The Rock Demon God is unable to rescue you because he is busy suppressing the great demon causing chaos in the sea, right?
It's a choice between saving you and saving those tiny, fragile food items.
If I save you, all the food in my nest will be washed away by the flood, and my hundred years of hard work will be in vain, and no one will recognize the fairness of my contract.
If you save them, you will only lose a weak demon god like you, which is not worth mentioning. This can explain why He has not arrived yet. "
As if he still wanted to tease him to the end, the mountain ghost demon bent down again and said.
"Look, now that things have come to this, why don't you open the door wide and let me eat to my heart's content, and maybe even get a few extra seedlings.
This is better than being exhausted to death by you, right? After all, even I know the difference between having one meal full and having every meal full. "
"——But you are trying to confuse my mind with your specious nonsense?"
In the end, I didn't want to listen to His nonsense at all.
He simply used all his power to try to cause damage to it, but as the other party said, the power of a grain of sand was not enough to threaten a mountain.
The other party was not in a hurry, but looked at the mechanical rock shield that was always on at the other end, and the girl inside. At this time, she seemed to have regained consciousness and was staring at him with hatred.
He licked his lips and came up with another plan.
"You don't have to, but how about taking her in exchange? I've heard of her. She's a girl who can feed a lot of food and grow a lot of food."
"Don't even think about it!"
Gui Zhong's tone of refusal was even more decisive and cold.
After being humiliated several times, the mountain ghost demon seemed to be tired of it. Then red light appeared in his eyes and he muttered.
“…Ah, is that so? Then there’s nothing we can do…”
The mountain-smashing hammer in his hand smashed out fiercely, aiming directly at the center of Guiliji.
This area will be destroyed, and we won’t know where to find the next habitable area for humans.
Just when Gui Zhong was about to fight to the death, he saw a weak but determined figure appear in the center of his landing point.
