"Huo Dou!?"

It was only at this moment that He Bo arrived late, helplessly watching the distant figure of Huo Dou with impotent rage.

"You unorganized, undisciplined person!"

"I will definitely apply to have your salary docked next month!"

Compared to the unending fury of He Bo, Luo God, who arrived equally late, appeared much calmer.

"Boss, I hope you will do what you say this time."

With just one sentence, Luo God left He Bo speechless.

Luo God immediately rushed over to He Jiali's side with quick steps and gently comforted the little girl who was still crying.

"Jiali, don't cry. Huo Dou will surely bring your friend back safely."

"Don't be fooled by that guy's rough appearance and fierce looks; deep down, he's actually very kind-hearted."

Tears kept flowing, and looking at Luo God, who was squatting in front of her with a gentle face, He Jiali suddenly couldn't hold back and began to wail loudly.

"Wah, wah, wah..."

Just like all other girls of her age, He Jiali's wailing was so tragic.

Not to mention He Bo, who had never comforted a child before, even Luo God seemed flustered.

"No! No! Don't cry anymore!"

"I promise you, Huo Dou will bring your friend back safely!"

Swearing once more, Luo God's words surprisingly made He Jiali cry even harder.

"It's different, it's different..."

"Brother is not like you all, Brother definitely won't come back!"

.........................................................

Meanwhile, on the other side, Huo Dou continued to chase the little boy.

However, contrary to what everyone expected, Huo Dou looked extremely wretched during the chase.

Sometimes stepping into a mud pit, sometimes being tripped by an extending tree branch...

This was clearly abnormal because Huo Dou wasn't an ordinary person without any strength.

Regardless of the nature of his incarnation, it was impossible for such accidents to happen with his physique and athletic ability.

"It seems that aside from the ability to blur human perception on a large scale..."

"You also possess the power to bring misfortune to others?"

After almost being tripped by something unknown again, Huo Dou's tone began to show evident anger.

This wasn't Li Hao's emotion; it came from Huo Dou's anger.

Because Huo Dou wasn't a traditional incarnation, he had his own judgment and choices.

Most of the time, Li Hao was more like a "substitute", giving orders only when necessary, leaving other specific operations to Huo Dou himself.

Whoom!

In an instant, the barrier around him ignited with an ominous black flame.

And Huo Dou, shrouded by this black flame, completely shed his human disguise.

"Awoo!"

Like the bark of a dog, like the howl of a wolf...

His body rapidly swelled to two to three times the size of an average person, and his muscles bulged like a dragon.

In his dog-headed human form, Huo Dou suddenly accelerated, directly ignoring all obstacles that might hinder him.

Fwoosh—Boom!

The speed was so great that it caused a sonic boom screech in the air.

By the time the little boy reacted, Huo Dou, tall and imposing as a mountain, had already appeared directly in front of him.

The force from this short burst of speed caused the little boy's body to lean forward uncontrollably.

"Ah!"

Faced with this almost impossible situation, the little boy displayed almost unbelievable courage.

The branch in his hand, like a sharp sword, stabbed straight at the nearby Huo Dou.

His entire body rolled forward, protected by the bomb suit.

Using this clumsy yet extremely effective method, he slipped right under Huo Dou's legs.

"Ah?"

Never expecting the little boy to act so unpredictably, Huo Dou hesitated momentarily.

In this brief pause, the boy's branch scratched Huo Dou's abdomen, leaving a noticeable wound.

"How is this possible?"

Even knowing that this is a common phrase villains use, Huo Dou couldn't help but glance at his wound.

Whether it was the barrier or the black flame...

That ordinary branch surprisingly pierced through layers of defense, inflicting effective damage on Huo Dou's body.

Note, Huo Dou now possessed half of a divine body, how could a mere branch really harm him?

"It turns out you are the real target of this mission."

After lightly stroking his wound, Huo Dou's injury healed rapidly at a visible pace.

Then, before the boy could stand, Huo Dou twisted with an incredible maneuver, grabbing the boy's safety helmet.

Crack!

Just like the earlier branch, the boy's seemingly shabby safety helmet showed astonishing defensive power.

Fortunately, Huo Dou was prepared for this.

Having no intention of harming the boy, Huo Dou simply lifted him and used the other hand to grab his collar.

"Can we talk calmly now?"

At this moment, although the boy had the protection of a safety helmet and bomb suit, all he could do was struggle desperately in response.

It wasn't that the boy was too weak, but the gap between them was too vast.

"Bastard! You monster! Let me go!"

The boy opened his mouth, trying to bite Huo Dou's hand but ended up getting smacked on the forehead by a reacting Huo Dou.

"Are you a dog? Biting when you can't win?"

Faced with Huo Dou's slightly teasing scold, the boy grimaced and made a face at him.

"You're the dog-headed man, dare you call me that?"

"You're the real dog!"

For a moment, Huo Dou couldn't tell if the boy was insulting him or just stating the truth.

Huo Dou paused briefly in silence, then glared at the boy with feigned aggression—he felt there must be some hidden secret in this boy that intrigued him.

This intuition came from the Creator, an inevitable entwining of fates among the gods.

It was this line of thought that led Huo Dou to selectively reveal part of his cards in front of He Bo and Luo God.

"Shut up! Honestly, tell me what you are! Why are you targeting He Jiali?"

"I know you have lie detection ability, but I am not to be trifled with either!"

"If you dare tell a lie, I will make you pay dearly!"

Faced with Huo Dou's blatant threat.

The boy finally ceased struggling, revealing instead a coldness and malice unfit for his age.

"If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, I'll make you pay dearly too!"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Huo Dou thought for the first time that it would be nice if He Bo were here.

This little boy, whose nature was unknown, was clearly more troublesome than he had imagined.

"Even if you don't speak, I have ways to reveal your true form!"

Muttering quietly, Huo Dou finally stopped holding back as the black flames around him swept mercilessly towards the boy.

"Ah!!!"

Accompanied by a miserable scream, the boy in Huo Dou's grasp swiftly twisted and transformed.

In the blink of an eye, the boy's safety hat and bomb suit fell to the ground, while he himself rapidly shrank into a puppet barely larger than a palm.

It was a puppet with its eyes stretching across most of its face, displaying an expression of fierce menace.
