Chapter 24: Demon Princess: I'm going to be defiled by humans! Waaaaah...
A blinding white light exploded beneath Dong Mo's feet. Before Dong Mo could react to what was happening, the blinding light instantly engulfed the maze passage.
Dong Mo felt his feet suddenly give way, and his body suddenly lost its weight.
Immediately afterward, the weight beneath his feet returned abruptly. Dong Mo, who was holding Gu Ziyue by the collar, suddenly appeared in mid-air, about two zhang above the ground, somewhere in the maze.
Before Dong Mo could even react to what was happening, he fell backwards to the ground.
The demon princess who had been holding him by the collar was also released.
"Bang! Bang..."
Two muffled thuds suddenly echoed through the maze. Dong Mo, who was dizzy from the spatial array within the maze, truly experienced the feeling of the Steelback Leon as his back slammed solidly onto the bluestone floor tiles.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."
Dong Mo clutched his lower back and grimaced as he got up.
His back was covered in the cool, dull ache of the bluestone floor tiles. Then he looked around and realized that he had found himself in a spacious stone chamber inside the maze.
Realizing he had separated from Xiao Bai, Dong Mo disregarded his physical pain and quickly summoned the system to retrieve the maze map uploaded by the Purple Nether Sword, in order to confirm his current location.
As the familiar 3D map unfolded before him, Dong Mo quickly confirmed his current location.
Realizing that he and Gu Ziyue had been teleported to the east side of the maze by the maze's spatial array.
Meanwhile, the energy signal of the Purple Nether Sword appeared in a fork in the road in the northwest corner of the maze. If nothing unexpected happened, that was also where Xiao Bai was currently located.
After all, unless Dong Mo asked to borrow the sword, Xiao Bai always kept the sword with him at all times.
As for the energy signal of the maze array, it went directly to the southwest corner of the maze.
"Tsk, they've been separated? This is a big problem."
Dong Mo frowned, secretly planning his next move.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound behind me, as if something was moving stealthily.
When Dong Mo turned around, he saw Gu Ziyue, who was bound hand and foot, hopping away from him with movements as light as a cat stealing fish.
Seeing that Dong Mo had discovered her trying to escape, Gu Ziyue suddenly felt her body stiffen, then she suddenly accelerated and jumped forward using both feet.
"Jump! Jump faster! You dead legs!"
"Get moving! That damn human is about to catch up!"
Gu Ziyue jumped forward with all her might while frantically urging herself on in her mind.
Gu Ziyue jumped incredibly fast, her long purple hair whipping around in a blur behind her.
Seeing this, Dong Mo couldn't help but shake his head. This guy really is a handful...
While sighing, Dong Mo glanced at the system map in front of him.
However, when he saw the red marker directly ahead of the direction Gu Ziyue was running, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Huh? Isn't this the hidden boss marker in the game?
Oops... no! She ran in the direction...
"Don't run! Stop!"
Realizing something was wrong, Dong Mo suddenly accelerated and charged towards Gu Ziyue with murderous intent.
Gu Ziyue turned around and saw that the blond thug suddenly pounced on her like a madman. She was so frightened that she was scared out of her wits and desperately sped up, trying to escape from Dong Mo's side.
However, at that moment, there was a "click" sound.
Gu Ziyue, who was about to speed up her escape, suddenly felt her feet stop, as if she had tripped over something like a trap switch.
Just as Gu Ziyue was about to look down at her feet, Dong Mo's urgent voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Crouch down! Don't just stand there!"
Gu Ziyue subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw the hideous blond villain behind her suddenly pull out a low-grade magic weapon sword from his storage bag and pounce on her like a hunting eagle.
Oh no, I'm going to die! I'm going to die!
"Caw... Mother, come save me! Your beloved little moon is about to be defiled by perverted humans!"
Gu Ziyue closed her eyes and curled herself up into a ball.
Just as she crouched down, a loud bang suddenly exploded behind her.
The wall beside Gu Ziyue shattered instantly.
Immediately afterwards, a giant sword, as tall as a person, suddenly cleaved down from the dust and rubble, smashing straight down on Gu Ziyue's head.
Just at this critical moment, an arm suddenly grabbed her waist from behind, forcibly pulling Gu Ziyue out of the giant sword's attack range.
"Tranquility of Mind, True Understanding! Sword-Breaking Style!"
Dong Mo slashed his spirit sword diagonally, the sword-breaking technique precisely cutting into the weak point of the giant sword's power, deflecting the heavy blow that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
The wind from the giant sword whistled past Dong Mo and Gu Ziyue's clothes, shattering the blue bricks on the ground!
Gu Ziyue nestled in Dong Mo's arms, trembling as she raised her head.
Amidst the billowing dust, a rock golem, standing three zhang tall, slowly straightened up.
The creature's eyes were two crimson crystal cores, and it held a massive stone sword as long as its body in its hand. Its entire body was covered with a thick layer of rock armor, and the ground around it trembled with every step it took.
"Damn it...more dung monsters! Why are all these early-game dung monsters in this dungeon?!"
Looking at the giant rock monster in front of him, Dong Mo couldn't help but swear!
Giant Armored Rock Spirit is a hidden boss in the early stages of the game, often appearing in certain secret realm dungeons related to the demon race.
In his previous life, Dong Mo had dealt with these guys quite a bit in secret realms when he played games.
The Giant Armored Rock Spirit has extremely high defense, ridiculously high vitality and strength, and is also a mechanic monster; if the player does not destroy its core, it will regenerate indefinitely.
Like the previous Black Tooth Dragon, it is a nightmare for newbies in the early stages of the game, and is undoubtedly a terrible monster.
The Giant Armored Rock Spirit, as a dung monster, is different from the "dung" of the Black Tooth Dragon.
The Black Tooth Dragon's dung is endless, relying on its swarm tactics to overwhelm players.
The giant rock spirit's excrement is pure disgust. You clearly know the mechanics of this thing and how to defeat it.
But every time you fight him, your equipment durability and the medicine in your backpack will be completely depleted, and all your resources will be used up.
Most importantly, you don't get a reward for beating him.
So in the early stages, beginners will basically just go around this thing.
Fortunately, this thing is a hidden boss; you won't encounter it unless you accidentally trigger its activation switch.
Therefore, the reputation of the Giant Armored Rock Spirit among players is much better than that of the Black Toothed Dragon.
Looking at the giant armored rock spirit in front of him, Dong Mo mentally considered the few cultivation resources he had left in his storage bag after running away from home.
Facing this monster, there's absolutely no way I could fight it in my current state...
Therefore, instead of wasting resources here.
It would be better to... leave!
Thinking of this, Dong Mo took out two Jiama talismans from his storage bag without saying a word, stuck them on his legs, and then picked up Gu Ziyue horizontally.
"My apologies, Your Highness."
"Huh? Huh!? Huh..."
Gu Ziyue's mind went blank for a moment. As a dignified princess of the demon race, she was being carried in the arms of this human in a princess carry. His arms were pressed tightly against her sensitive body, and the warmth transmitted through the thin fabric made her freeze instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the giant armored rock spirit behind them suddenly let out a low roar, brandishing its heavy sword and chasing after Dong Mo and Gu Ziyue. Each step it took caused dust to fall from the stone walls on both sides of the passage.
"You give it to Lu Dayou—"
Dong Mo shouted with a hint of sarcasm, picked up Gu Ziyue, and ran wildly into the distance.
"Hey? Wait...wait! Put me down!"
"I...I can run by myself!"
Gu Ziyue finally came to her senses and struggled desperately in Dong Mo's arms.
"I'm sorry... but if you die here, it will be very troublesome for me."
As Dong Mo ran, he glanced down at Gu Ziyue in his arms.
"I don't want to be hunted down by your mother for thousands of miles."
Perhaps out of fear, Gu Ziyue unconsciously leaned her entire weight on Dong Mo. The princess carry position meant that Dong Mo's hands inevitably touched her thighs and waist, causing her cheeks to flush red, and she struggled even more fiercely in Dong Mo's arms.
"You lecherous scoundrel! Where are you touching?!"
"Sorry, it's an emergency, please bear with it!" Dong Mo gritted his teeth and glared at the giant armored rock spirit behind him. "If the situation weren't so critical, do you think I'd want to touch a few ounces of your flesh?"
Hmm? How many ounces of meat?!
Gu Ziyue's eyes widened. As a princess of the demon race, she was used to being the center of attention. Upon hearing Dong Mo's words, an inexplicable anger surged within her.
You damned bastard, what do you take me for!
Gu Ziyue was about to retort when the giant armored rock spirit behind her moved even closer.
The loud thud of the heavy sword hitting the ground silenced all the rebuttals that were on the tip of her tongue.
After all, her life and fortune were now entirely on the shoulders of this blond human. If Dong Mo really threw her out in a moment of panic, she would be finished!
Therefore, faced with this lecherous man's rude behavior, she could only bite her lip and swallow all her words, her little face turning bright red from holding it in.
