Demon Lord 3

The mountain path was difficult to traverse. We were so focused on finding flowers and grass that we didn't pay attention to the path beneath our feet. Suddenly, I felt my foot slip, and I lost my balance, feeling like I was about to fall. I tried to take off, but then I felt a pair of giant hands pulling me down. Zhou Chuyuan reacted quickly and grabbed me, asking what was wrong. Before I could answer, the giant hands started pulling me again, causing him to lose his balance and stumble. We both fell to the bottom. At that moment, the sensation slowly dissipated, leaving only a huge pit. I thought the ordeal was over, but before we could even climb out, we were trapped inside. Zhou Chuyuan tried to pull me up with all his might, but he found he couldn't do it. For some reason, the force below seemed stronger than above. He told me to hold my breath and focus, and then we fell together. Afraid I would get hurt, he quickly turned around and shielded me with his body. Zhou Chuyuan called my name again: "Hao Ruyue, can you hear me? Are you alright?" I tried to answer quickly, but I couldn't make a sound. I don't know why, maybe because the falling speed was too fast, my soul wasn't even here. I seemed to vaguely see a green light over there, and suddenly I shouted: "I can hear you, that should be the exit." Zhou Chuyuan turned his head sharply and saw the green eyes over there: "Don't move, that's not the exit, that's clearly an eye. If we get caught there, we'll die without a burial place. That's definitely a big guy, judging by the color, it shouldn't be troublesome. Did you forget you were dragged over there? Don't move." After hearing this, I nodded, and then I heard laughter from over there: "Hahaha! There's another one who's pretty smart, but that's just petty cleverness. Now that you're here, you can forget about running away from my territory. If you had saved that girl when she fell, maybe..." "Not bad, but you went too far. You were together, right? Maybe even a couple, otherwise I wouldn't have risked my life to save you. This time, I'm not asking to be born on the same day, month, and year, but I'm asking to die on the same day, month, and year." Zhou Chuyuan smiled slightly, glanced at him, and said, "Damn it, enough nonsense. Who killed whom is still uncertain. So what if we're lovers? Bring it on if you dare. I've never been afraid of anyone." The green-eyed monster laughed arrogantly again, then stretched out his demonic claw. Zhou Chuyuan glanced at him casually, then channeled his energy, turning his entire body blood red. I can see it now, he's probably possessed by demonic energy again. Zhou Chuyuan was possessed by demonic energy. The green-eyed monster was also taken aback and shouted, "Kid, who are you? What's your background?" Zhou Chuyuan snorted coldly, "Hmph, I'll fight you for 300 rounds first. When I knock you down at my feet, I'll leave you with a breath left, and then I'll tell you who I am and how you died. I won't let you die an innocent ghost." "I'll make sure you leave clearly." The green-eyed monster was equally ruthless, launching an attack immediately. Honestly, I never expected Zhou Chuyuan, after being possessed by a demon, to still be speaking rationally. Normally, I thought he would lose his mind and fight the green-eyed monster, but unexpectedly, he hadn't lost his mind at all. Instead, he was using his power to fight desperately, seemingly intent on skinning and dismembering the monster. His current state indicated he had the upper hand; after all, his intimidation was much stronger than the green-eyed monster's. Besides its green eyes and long, sharp claws, the green-eyed monster had no redeeming qualities. It was ugly and didn't resemble a real human at all; it must be some kind of monster in disguise. But then I thought, its eyes weren't actually green, and its long claws weren't covered in what seemed to be scales. Upon closer inspection, they didn't look like scales at all; they looked like they were constructed from something. A thought suddenly struck me: could this be the medicinal herb we were looking for? The medicinal herbs aren't necessarily plants; they could be animals or something like cordyceps, something that's both plant and animal. This kind of thing might be a monster that has turned into a plant, with the plant's roots and leaves on top and its main body underneath. Thinking about this, I felt that if I defeated it, I could definitely get the so-called medicinal herbs, and then we could take them back to complete our mission. After all, we still need them later. I also told Zhou Chuyuan this in my mind.
