In an instant, Alex immediately put his guard up. Although the Mystic Maiden called her a ‘wild chicken’, that was still a great Golden Immortal Demon.
One of her projections nearly killed him last time. Hence, it would be a piece of cake for her to kill him if she were present in her true form.
“What do we do then?”
“Run for it!”
Alex had thought about this scenario a while ago, so he took out a paper doll and activated it with the Paper Doll Curse of Three Realms. The paper doll instantly turned into his clone and ran in one direction.
He, on the other hand, went in another direction with Pigsy as his transport. However, this was all for naught
As the Mystic Maiden had mentioned before, this demon had extraordinary powers. The Peacock Tribe had many types of mystic arts as well. The fact that she could catch up quickly was most likely because she did something to Alex.
For example, she could’ve made a marking on his soul. Yet, it was quite a difficult task to remove such markings. Even the Mystic Maiden wouldn’t be able to remove it within a short amount of time.
Moreover, removing it would injure Alex, causing him to turn weak. So, without enough time, they decided not to use this method. Else they’d be goners if they caught up with them midway.
“Where are you running off to, you little prick?!” Dolores’ voice was as loud as thunder, showing her true form as a colorful peacock She flew past Alex and turned back into her human form in mid-air, landing right in front of Alex.
Following behind her were three other peacocks, landing in three different directions, surrounding him and Pigsy.
“Oi, kiddo. What’s this? Are these birdies here to give you trouble?” Pigsy asked.
“Argh! I’ll just kill you off first!” one of the peacocks yelled and lunged at the pig demon.
Suddenly, Dolores reached out and stopped him. “Don’t!”
The man said, “Saint Orlando, I won’t do anything to Rockefeller. I’m only going to kill off this insolent pig!”
Dolores replied, “If I’m not mistaken, this pig is not just any ordinary pig. It’s a Treasure-hunting Pig! Haha, it looks like our trip here was worthwhile after all. Back then, the three guardians couldn’t even find one despite searching for hundreds of years. Yet we managed to catch one here! Ah, what luck! That means my son’s luck even affected us. Good things just keep coming one after another!”
“A treasure-hunting pig?” The other three peacocks looked at Pigsy with sheer delight, filled with greediness.
However, they were once again insulted by Pigsy, even more so than before.
