I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Suddenly, a colossal wave surged towards them, and Tang Doudou quickly used her inner strength to build a wall to block it.

Although the giant wave was blocked, the stench that hit them broke everyone's guard, and some even vomited on the spot.

"It's gastric juice!" the system warned. "Watch your step!"

Tang Doudou looked down and saw that gastric juice was already flowing under her feet.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! I'll use my hidden power to shield you all!" Tang Doudou said, quickly using her hidden power to surround everyone. The only way now was to get everyone out of the giant beast's mouth as soon as possible.

Tang Doudou took out the Moon Shadow Sword again and flew it towards the giant beast's mouth. The monster was in pain and opened its mouth. Tang Doudou seized the opportunity and sent everyone away with a single palm strike!

The black barrier vanished! Dongfang Xu watched helplessly as the towering waves engulfed Tang Doudou, but he was powerless to stop it.

"Tang Doudou!" Dongfang Xu shouted loudly!

But it was too late! The giant beast closed its mouth and then burrowed back underground.

Dongfang Xu roared, "You come out here!" The next second, countless swords formed of flames fell to the ground like rain, smashing holes of all sizes into the ground.

Unfortunately, the giant beast still did not emerge.

"She saved us." Lin Yun stepped forward and hugged Dongfang Xu.

"How could you be so foolish!" Dongfang Xu slumped to the ground. "Disciple, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have dragged you into this family feud!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

At this moment, Tang Doudou, inside the giant beast's belly, wrapped herself in a black cocoon.

"Your hidden power probably won't last long!" the system said.

Tang Doudou said with a wry smile, "It seems I can only watch helplessly as the Taotie digests me!"

"There must be another way! There's always a way out!" the system muttered to itself.

Tang Doudou smiled. Yes, there's always a way out. With runes, she could fight the Taotie. Unfortunately, in that instant, she chose the "shortcut"—becoming a demon!

"Do you think that people who have fallen into demonic possession truly have no place in this world?" Tang Doudou asked.

"In this world, the strong rule. As long as you are strong enough, no one will dare to bully you!" the system comforted you.

Tang Doudou smiled and said, "Actually, becoming a demon isn't that scary for me! Buddhism says, 'One thought can make you a demon, another a Buddha!' Whether you become a demon or a Buddha is entirely up to you. I'm just thinking, if I had to choose again, I don't know if I would still do it this way!"

The system remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "You will still choose to save them."

"why?"

"Because this is the real you. Whether you are a Buddha or a demon, I will stay with you, how about that?"

Tang Doudou said with a wry smile, "If you follow me, you'll go from a laughing system to a crying system!"

"Change is fine, you're not even afraid of becoming a demon, so why should I be afraid!"

Tang Doudou smiled and said, "Actually, I've left myself a way out. Now, you can help me choose!"

"What backup plan?"

"Qiongqi!" Tang Doudou said, "I made a deal with him: he saved my life, and I'll set him free!"

The system went silent.

Tang Doudou closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Since leaving the ancient battlefield, Dongfang Xu has locked himself in his house, and even Lin Yun couldn't get him out.

With the departure of the Moonflower Palace Master, Qian Fan, and others, the battle among the reclusive families subsided once again, and the four families maintained the current balance with remarkable tacit understanding.

As time went by, the dark energy and black mist on Tang Doudou's body were gradually reduced.

If this continues, she will eventually be devoured by the Taotie. This can't go on!

Now, the only option left is to try rune techniques.

Tang Doudou quickly sat up straight, and as the rune technique was activated, a faint light emanated from around her.

The runes in the sea of ​​consciousness are like mischievous children, each searching for its own place.

The connected runes faintly emanated a powerful energy. Tang Doudou continued to operate them, but unfortunately, the runes disappeared after only being half completed.

It seems to be caused by an incomplete cultivation technique.

Since the cultivation technique is useless, why not try "devouring"?

Tang Doudou thought about it and decided that if she were to become a monster like Taotie, who only knew how to devour others, she would rather die.

The protective shield, once interwoven with dark, primal forces, is now reduced to a thin layer, almost revealing the churning, dark stomach acid beneath.

"System? Looks like this time it's definitely going to be a disaster!" Tang Doudou sighed with a smile.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

It seems even the system has abandoned her! Tang Doudou closed her eyes, awaiting death.
