Chapter 23: Cause and Effect(2/3)
Only then was he satisfied and held the dog in front of him.
"Woooooooo..."
Looking at the puppy, which kept clawing at its mouth and struggling with its head, Gao Zhuo grinned, stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the puppy a few times, and then flicked it to the ground with a snap of his fingers.
After letting out a proud laugh, he clapped his hands and turned around and said proudly: "How about it? I have pretty good hands-on skills."
Gu Xibai rolled his eyes and said to himself: "You know how to bully a puppy like this."
Just when he was about to say something, his pupils suddenly tightened and his body froze in place for a moment.
"What?? Is there any problem?"
Seeing that the two of them didn't reply, Gao Zhuo couldn't help but take a step forward. Unexpectedly, when he took a step forward, Gu Xibai and Chang Wugu took a step back.
Seeing the fear revealed in their eyes, Gao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him.
"Click! Click! Click..."
There seemed to be the sound of something breaking behind him, which made the corners of Gao Zhuo's mouth twitch a few times, and the hairs all over his body stood up unconsciously.
In fear, he didn't dare to look back at all. The sweat on his forehead rolled down the corners of his eyes and he said instantly: "Run!"
After saying "run", Gao Zhuo kicked his legs and jumped up. Under the urging of fear, his clothes were torn apart by a pair of flesh wings, and he was completely transformed into a corpse, turning into a flying yaksha.
"Fuck you, uncle!"
Seeing Gao Zhuo, Gu Xibai and Chang Wuji ran away without any warning. When they came to their senses, they saw a pair of wild pupils as big as fireballs sweeping towards them.
With these huge eyeballs, the two of them could even clearly see the tape stuck to the dog's nose.
"Woof!"
A roar of a dog shook the ground and the mountains shook. The black dog in front of them pounced, its huge body pressing down with overwhelming power. For a moment, Gu Xibai and Chang Wugu were unable to move.
Chang Wuzhen even found that his space teleportation ability could not be used at this moment.
"It's over!"
Seeing the huge figure rushing towards them, the two of them felt a chill in their hearts and despair showed in their eyes.
They never thought that one day they would die in the mouth of a local dog, even if it was the dog raised by the emperor.
"boom……"
The raging wind blew up the surrounding gravel and bones.
But the expected pain did not come, and it was only when they opened their eyes that they realized that they were still alive.
The black dog ignored them both and chased Gao Zhuo straight away.
"Are we... okay??"
Gu Xibai's lips trembled, feeling that her breathing had stopped at that moment.
Until now, I still can't believe the fact that I am still alive.
On the side, Chang Wuju touched himself and made sure that he had no arms or legs. Then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said as if he was awake from a dream:
"Is it because we are covered in feces and this dog is too lazy to eat us??"
"Not necessarily."
Gu Xibai looked at the direction the black dog was chasing, and shook his head: "Maybe this is a personal vendetta."
Who made Gao Zhuo not only silence people, but also give them a slap in the head?
But after all, the two of them couldn't just watch Gao Zhuo die.
I can only bite the bullet and chase after him, looking for an opportunity to rescue this idiot.
Compared with Gao Zhuo's troubles, Xu Tong was equally uncomfortable on the other side.
"Huh~"
A breath of white breath came out of Xu Tong's mouth, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a thin layer of frost and dissipated in the cold wind.
He raised his head and looked at the bluestone path in front of him, his eyelashes already covered with a thick layer of frost.
Only now did Xu Tong understand why such an important place had neither guards nor restrictions.
Because there is no need at all.
The road got colder and colder as we walked up the stairs. Every time we climbed a step, the surrounding air seemed to drop by more than ten degrees.
Even though Xu Tong had wrapped himself in thick clothes, the cool breeze pricked him like a pervasive cold needle.
Every step he took, the soles of his feet felt as if they were half-pierced by sharp spears, causing every muscle in Xu Tong's body to tremble.
He looked up at the steps in front of him. He was clearly so close, but yet he seemed so far away.
At this moment, Xu Tong realized the feeling of being cold at a high place, but the more painful it was, the more it aroused the bloody nature deep in his heart.
Not related to tasks.
At this moment, he wanted to go to the top of the mountain to take a look and see how different the scenery that Emperor Youshan could see was.
Looking at the rugged bluestone path in front of him, Xu Tong took out something from the props book, a ginseng as thick as a radish.
I don't know how long it took for this ginseng to become so thick. Xu Tong usually only cut off a small part of the roots when making elixirs, which was enough for use.
But at this moment, Xu Tong actually put this ginseng to his mouth like a radish and started chewing it.
Suddenly a pungent bitter taste hit him. Xu Tong didn't care so much and just stuffed it into his mouth.
By the time he ate a whole ginseng, Xu Tong's face had turned red and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.
Ginseng is a life-saving medicine, but it is also a killer.
In the Emperor's Forbidden Palace, although Xu Tong's physical strength was suppressed, his physique was still astonishing, far beyond the ordinary, even with a ginseng in his abdomen.
Within a moment, waves of cramping pain came from the abdomen, and it felt as if the internal organs were on fire.
A stream of hot white gas was spit out from the mouth, even stained with a few drops of blood.
The feet on the bluestone were slowly raised, making a tearing sound, and the soles of the shoes were actually frozen to the bluestone.
When Xu Tong saw this, he just frowned and continued walking barefoot, one step, two steps...
The figures on the mountain road gradually began to blur, but there were clear blood marks left on this bluestone path...
…………
"Ahhhhh!"
Gao Zhuo's screams echoed in the empty cave. When he looked back, he saw the huge shadow behind him getting closer and closer. For a moment, Gao Zhuo almost cried.
The last time I was chased by a dog was when I was seven years old.
I didn’t expect that after so many years, I could relive this childhood fear.
Fortunately, after Gao Zhuo transformed into the Flying Yaksha, his speed was astonishingly fast. From time to time, he summoned two zombies and threw them behind him, trying to delay the black dog.
As a result, the dog seemed to have spotted Gao Zhuo and ignored the incoming zombies.
Moreover, this kind of little zombie will be directly bounced away by the aura of the black dog before it can get close, and it will have no effect at all.
"Why are you only chasing me!"
Seeing the black dog getting closer and closer, he felt a huge pressure that almost took his breath away.
Divine power.
Although it is impossible for this kind of pressure to appear on a dog, it is not surprising at all that it appears on this dog. After all, this is a dog raised by the emperor.
Gao Zhuo found that his breathing became more and more rapid. He was shrouded in divine power and his speed suddenly dropped.
"Woof!"
Seeing this, the black dog raised its paws and took a photo of Gao Zhuo. A huge shadow temporarily enveloped Gao Zhuo's head, making Gao Zhuo's blood run cold.
He immediately gritted his teeth, folded his wings, and suddenly fell to the ground.
[Overlord Body] Active Skill 1: Overlord’s Wrath
A layer of faint golden light covered Gao Zhuo's body, and at the same time, his legs landed on the ground and he squatted down heavily.
It consumes 300 script points. After activation, the size increases by 20%, the strength increases by 30%, and the agility decreases by 20%.
During the duration of Overlord's Wrath, you are immune to all physical controls, immune to mental controls below level 6, and your jumping ability is increased by 50%.
After receiving the blessing of the Overlord Body, the oppressive feeling caused by the divine power was suddenly reduced a lot. Immediately, he pushed hard, and the rocks under his feet burst into cracks like spider webs.
The whole person flew out like a cannonball with a "whoosh" sound, narrowly avoiding the dog's claws that were photographed.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked in front of me. With just a slap of the dog's claws, the ground collapsed completely, sending up a ten-meter-high sandstorm.
Fortunately, Gao Zhuo dodged it. If he hadn't dodged it, he would have been able to bear the claws.
Seeing how terrifying this dog was, Gao Zhuo could only speed up his escape by bouncing.
"Woof!"
The black dog pounced in vain, but chased Gao Zhuo more happily, as if he had discovered a new toy, just chasing Gao Zhuo to play with.
