Chapter 111 The Demon Behind the Scenes
The enormous body, reeking of a fishy stench, pressed down on Jiuzhiche with the force of Mount Tai.
A shadow loomed overhead.
"Boom!"
The roar caused a massive amount of dust and mud to rise into the air, and beneath the monster was a huge crater created by the impact.
Jiuzhi Che placed Sadako and Black Sadako a few meters away from the water monster.
He just retreated in a hurry and narrowly avoided being crushed.
It's really inconvenient to carry someone on my back, so I had to put them down for now.
"Take good care of Sadako."
After giving them a word of advice, Jiu Zhiche stepped in front of them without hesitation.
Black Sadako's little face was full of indignation. "Do you need to tell me?!"
She looked at her unconscious sister, and her head started to ache whenever she had the thought of possessing her.
It seems the aftereffects of having his mental energy drained haven't subsided yet.
She sensed the greed and extreme malice emanating from that door with perfect clarity.
The mastermind behind this must be Mammon, as the water monster mentioned.
It seems that her being sucked into the vortex was not an accident, but something the other party did intentionally.
Realizing this, she wanted to go out even more than Jiu Zhiche.
But... she led Jiu Zhiche down this path on purpose.
Of all those forks in the road, only one leads to the exit, and the other leads to the location of the water monster.
The reason is simple: the water monster is Mammon's agent. As long as the water monster is still around, Mammon can easily come into this world. Wouldn't that put her and her sister in danger again?
"Purify".
Jiuzhiche locked his gaze on the white spot on the water monster's body, aimed, and threw a straight punch!
"Uh—ah—"
The water monster cried out in pain, its body contorted into an unrecognizable shape, its tentacles flailing wildly as it lashed out at Jiuzhiche.
"ah!!!"
Jiuzhiche could have easily dodged it, but upon hearing Hei Zhenzi's scream, his mind stirred, and he suddenly turned around to look.
A large group of golden monsters chased after them and surrounded the two Sadakos.
In that brief pause, the tentacles wrapped around his hands, feet, neck, and waist.
The slippery texture was truly disgusting.
Not far away, Black Sadako's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
I have to say, it's very satisfying to annoy people you dislike.
"roar!"
After the water monster caught Jiu Zhiche, the pain in its body was relieved. It couldn't wait to put Jiu Zhiche into its mouth, wanting to chew him up.
"Purify!"
Facing the foul-smelling maw, Jiuzhiche steadied himself. Taking advantage of the moment the water monster paused, he forcefully brought his legs together, spinning his body several times, twisting his tentacles into a pretzel shape. With a powerful pull, he tore them off, then kicked the water monster's head, using the force to kick the golden monster next to Sadako—
With a flying kick, he slammed his opponent against the rock wall, producing a metallic clang.
Several monster arms came crashing down, but Jiu Zhiche nimbly dodged them while using some gentle force to push them back, causing them to fall into a heap.
[The "Fighting" template is currently 20% active, and your fighting abilities are becoming more integrated.]
Countless fighting techniques that were originally just memories now seemed to have been integrated into his every move, allowing him to use them effortlessly without having to consciously recall them.
Jiuzhi Che glanced at Sadako to make sure she wasn't injured before giving a sideways look to the black Sadako beside him.
The golden monsters weren't particularly strong, and with the enhancement from the fighting template, Jiuzhiche snapped their heads off in just a few breaths.
As they fell, their bodies vanished with a crash.
[Deal with 15 Greedy Gold Split Monsters, gain 15% Spirituality]
[Get 3 chances to win a prize]
[Not the original monster, and belongs to an unconscious sub-monster, with no initial spirituality acquired]
The system gave two prompts, which Jiuzhiche understood; it was good to be able to obtain spirituality.
"Strength increased to 30%!"
[Strong] Activation progress 30%
[Currently available spirituality: 5.9%]
"I've used up all my chances to enter the lottery."
[Giveaway in progress]
[Gain 1 Spirit Orb, 2-time Invisibility buff]
The water monster finally realized what was happening and, fueled by rage, lunged forward, determined to crush the ants.
Jiuzhi Che frowned slightly. The water monster had been purified twice, but it only felt a little pain. Judging from its aura, it had not suffered any real damage.
Or rather, it recovered quickly after being injured.
If we continue playing like this, the chances of winning will be infinitely reduced.
Since the water monster mentioned Mammon, then that door is the door of greed?
Is it the demon of greed that's helping it recover?
Moreover... the devil's target seems to be Sadako...
Jiuzhiche glanced at Hei Zhenzi without showing any emotion, just in time to catch her fleeting triumphant smile.
"Hey, Black Sadako, you've almost recovered, aren't you going to come and help?"
With another slide tackle, Jiuzhiche jumped to the location of the white dot on the water monster and slammed it down with all his might.
"Bang!"
The power from 30% of the "Strong" template blasted a small dent into its body, and shockwaves radiated outwards, but unfortunately, they couldn't break through its skin.
"I am not yet capable of fighting."
Black Sadako refused without hesitation.
In short, she won't let Jiu Zhiche die here, but she'd be happy to see him suffer a bit.
Jiuzhiche didn't care about anything else. This bear loli had definitely recovered some of her strength. Without saying a word, he picked up Black Sadako and threw her towards the water monster.
"you!!"
Black Sadako stopped in mid-air. Before she could say anything, the water monster stretched out its tentacles to grab her. She didn't want to be touched by such a disgusting thing!
An invisible force of thought poured out, and the water monster's muddy, piled-up body suddenly shuddered, as if it had been slapped head-on by a giant palm. Its originally swollen body instantly collapsed.
The next moment—
The water monster was sent flying backwards and crashed heavily onto the rock wall.
Black Sadako patted her small chest, terrified. If she had been touched, she would have been traumatized for life.
However, at the same time, the little strength she had managed to recover was completely exhausted after she used it all up.
Her body fell down.
Will she fall to her death if we don't save her?
Before the thought had even fully formed in his mind, Jiuzhi Che had already stepped forward, rushed to his position, hooked his foot around Hei Zhenzi's waist, and pulled her into his arms. Then—
He threw it out.
Black Sadako rolled twice on the ground in a sorry state, her little face covered in dust.
"You did it on purpose! Damn it! Damn it! You deserve to die!"
Black Sadako was furious.
"Your vocabulary is as limited as a small steamed bun; if you can't talk trash, then don't."
After Jiuzhi Che finished speaking, he seized the opportunity and threw two purification spells at the wailing water monster.
"Mental Ball!"
His mental energy returned instantly, and he found the water monster's weakness, beginning a frenzied hammering attack!
Each movement caused ripples to appear on the monster's body.
one more time.
At the same time, he nimbly kicked away the attacking tentacles with his feet.
Finally, the hammering reached a critical point, and the monster's skin finally broke.
Jiuzhi Che pinched his nose and crawled inside.
