"My head is so dizzy, it feels terrible!" Chen Hao's throaty voice said as he sat on the ground in the Nether Acupoint, his head resting in Ye Yuqiao's lap, his face deathly pale and his expression in extreme pain. The world as he perceived it was still spinning.

"Boyfriend, it's okay, it's all right now!" Ye Yuqiao soothed softly in Chen Hao's ear; the sight of him so weak and helpless made her heart ache all the more.

Standing to one side, Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng frowned as they looked at Chen Hao, saying nothing, all wondering what exactly had happened when Chen Hao encountered the Cyclops Demon King that had made him so painfully distressed now.

Smelling the familiar scent on Ye Yuqiao, and after taking a heavy breath, Chen Hao opened his eyes and looked up slowly at Ye Yuqiao, who was holding him tightly. Because the dizziness was still gnawing at his brain, he saw myriad blurry images of Ye Yuqiao before him.

He reached out to touch her cheek, but his hand instead brushed the air to her left.

Immediately, Ye Yuqiao raised her hand to grip the back of Chen Hao's hand, then gently pushed his palm onto her smooth cheek, and with a hoarse voice said, "Boyfriend, I'm right here!"

Chen Hao let out a soft "Mm," then smiled, closed his eyes, and said, "My head's really dizzy, I need to rest for a bit."

"Alright, then sleep well, don't think too much!" Ye Yuqiao's voice was very gentle, her eyes moist as if with tears, a stark contrast to the fierce demeanor she had shown earlier when confronting the Cyclops Demon King.

Before long, having realized that Chen Hao had fallen asleep, Ye Yuqiao turned to Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing, and whispered, "Let's all stay here for the night, we'll talk about everything once Chen Hao wakes up tomorrow."

Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing nodded.

At this moment, on the great Mount Zhou, the Cyclops Demon King was wandering everywhere, searching for Chen Hao and the others.

As time ticked by, it started to get restless. If it didn't find Chen Hao by 10 a.m. the next day, then it would be the Bat Demon King's turn to deal with him and his group.

As daylight began to grow, the Cyclops Demon King, unable to find Chen Hao and the others, became increasingly frenzied, taking out his rage on the trees of Mount Zhou.

By 8 a.m., the eastern part of Mount Zhou had become a scene of devastation: the majority of the trees were bent or snapped in half, branches and leaves littered the ground, and countless rocks of various sizes lay scattered on the road—as if a hurricane had just swept through it.

Fortunately, the road to the south of Mount Zhou was an old one. Since the bridge over the lake to the west had been opened a few years ago, few people took the old road anymore. Thus, the damage done to this road didn't affect traffic in the surrounding area.

Opening his eyes—

Finding his cheek buried in a pair of soft, raised curves, Chen Hao's eyes suddenly widened, and his blood surged with vigor, instantly invigorating his spirits.

"Naughty!" Ye Yuqiao's voice, half angry and half amused, rang in Chen Hao's ear, and then she asked, "How are you feeling now, any better?"

Chen Hao drew in a long breath, reluctantly pulled his face away from Ye Yuqiao's soft embrace, straightened his back and shook his head with a smile, saying, "I'm fine now!"

Seeing Ye Yuqiao's face wearied and her eyes slightly reddened, Chen Hao took the opportunity to pull her into his arms.

"Did you not sleep well?"

"How could I sleep when I saw you like that last night?" Ye Yuqiao said with her eyes closed.

"Girlfriend, you're wonderful," Chen Hao expressed deeply from his heart.

Just as he was about to lean in to kiss Ye Yuqiao's forehead, suddenly, Tang Jing's sleepy voice reached his ears, "Dammit, are you alright?"

Chen Hao immediately turned to look at Tang Jing, giving a foolish smile and shook his head, saying, "I'm okay now, no more dizziness!"

"Good! That's good!" Tang Jing said, then closed her eyes again.

Half a minute later, after making sure Tang Jing had fallen back to sleep, Chen Hao once again leaned down.

Suddenly, another voice spoke up, but this time it was Xie Xiaofeng.

"Dammit, you okay now?" Xie Xiaofeng asked the same question as Tang Jing.

Chen Hao silently sighed, and Ye Yuqiao, whose face was now slightly flushed in his arms, couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

Chen Hao looked towards Xie Xiaofeng, who was in the midst of a long yawn, bleary-eyed.

"I'm fine now! No more dizziness!" Chen Hao said.

"That's good!" After finishing his yawn, Xie Xiaofeng immediately looked more awake and got up, muttering, "Sleeping like this is really uncomfortable!"

After stretching for a moment, Xie Xiaofeng sat next to Chen Hao and prompted him to recount what had happened last night with the Cyclops Demon King.

Blinking a few times, Chen Hao began to recall the painful and unbelievable events of the night before. By the time he finished recounting, Ye Yuqiao, who had stayed up all night, had already fallen asleep in his arms.

"That Cyclops beast can actually turn the world upside down!" Tang Jing's incredulous voice suddenly exclaimed as soon as Chen Hao had finished telling the story.

"Weren't you asleep?" Chen Hao asked, side-eyeing Tang Jing.

Tang Jing immediately opened her eyes, and a flash of light crossed her gaze as she spoke in an accusing tone, "I was asleep, but then I was woken up by you two jerks. Hearing what you just said, I kind of want to see what this upside-down world is like for myself."

"The Cyclops is still around, how about I let you out to take a look? But let me make one thing clear, if anything happens to you, it has nothing to do with me."

With a grin, Tang Jing stuck her tongue out at Chen Hao, her face full of disgust.

"To be honest, just thinking about what happened last night makes my head spin," Chen Hao said with lingering fear.

"That's so tragic," Tang Jing said sympathetically.

Xie Xiaofeng, who was lost in thought, suddenly turned his head to Chen Hao and asked seriously with a furrowed brow, "So, what do we do now? Have you thought of a way to deal with that Cyclops? And will that Bat Demon come back?"

Chen Hao shook his head and pointed to Ye Yuqiao in his arms, speaking in a voice that was unexpectedly soft, "We'll have to ask my all-knowing encyclopedia girlfriend about that, let her sleep a bit longer, and then we can discuss it when she wakes up."

"Right!"

When it was ten o'clock.

As per the rules, the Cyclops Demon King left the east side of Dazhou Mountain on time. On its way to the west side, it encountered the Bat Demon King, who was hastily moving towards the east side.

Seeing the Cyclops Demon King with a grim face, the Bat Demon King couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hahaha, Cyclops the Third, the initiative is in my hands again. Don't worry, this time I will definitely kill that kid Chen Hao. It seems I am destined to be your second brother."

The Cyclops Demon King coldly swept a glance at the Bat Demon King and snorted, "Bat the Third, I don't think you stand a chance. That kid Chen Hao has a girl with extraordinary abilities by his side; you are still no match for them."

"A girl?" The Bat Demon King laughed dismissively, not believing the Cyclops Demon King at all, "Cyclops the Third, you're trying to scare me with a mere girl? Do you think I, Bat the Second, am that easy to fool?"

"Believe it or not, we'll just wait and see!" the Cyclops Demon King said.

Sometime later, the Bat Demon King came back to the east side of Dazhou Mountain, near the Exorcism Special Vehicle.

Looking around at the scene as if it had been ravaged by a typhoon, the Bat Demon King frowned and muttered to himself, "It seems that the Cyclops freak and Chen Hao had a fierce battle last night! Where has that kid Chen Hao gone? Why can't I smell him around here?"

With that, the Bat Demon King let out two long howls, and in a moment, swarms of bats emerged from every corner of the mountain forest and gathered near the Bat Demon King.

"You guys better find that kid Chen Hao for me," the Bat Demon King ordered, while infusing all the bats with a deadly red mist filled with poison and magic power.

In an instant, the eyes of all the bats flashed with blood, and they scattered in all directions with shrieks.

At that moment, in the Nether Acupoint, Ye Yuqiao, who was resting in Chen Hao's arms, suddenly opened her eyes with an icy tone, "The Cyclops has left, but the Bat Demon has returned!"

"Ah!" Chen Hao exclaimed, his mind having been preoccupied in the past hour with figuring out how to deal with the Cyclops Demon King. After a pause, he sighed, "It's strange, these Bat Demon and Cyclops are both sent by King Mieji; logically, they should join forces against us. But instead, they take turns coming after us as if it were arranged."

"Could they be making a bet?" Xie Xiaofeng suggested thoughtfully, "Maybe they're betting on who can kill you first, and they've agreed not to interfere with each other."

"That's very likely!"

"If so, isn't that better for us?" Tang Jing exclaimed, "If those two ganged up on us, we probably wouldn't stand a chance."

"Yuqiao, what should we do next?" Chen Hao asked Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao lifted her hand and pinched Chen Hao's cheek, softly saying, "Aren't you clever? Then think hard about a method to deal with the Bat Demon, preferably one that will finish it off in a single strike."

"What are bats usually afraid of?" Chen Hao wondered aloud.

"Light!" Xie Xiaofeng immediately answered, "Bat eyes are several times more sensitive to light than human eyes, so they usually hide in the dark."

Chen Hao nodded, then suddenly realized, "No wonder it chose to attack us in a tunnel yesterday. It's afraid of light! But is the Bat Demon King also afraid of light? If it is, then we might have a good way to deal with it."

"Leave it to me!" Xie Xiaofeng declared confidently, his eyes alight with certainty, "I'll blind it with the brightest firelight!"

...

Half an hour later.

The Bat Demon King was hanging upside down on the wall of a tunnel, waiting for the bats it had sent out to search for Chen Hao to return and report.

Suddenly, it opened its eyes. In the air around it, it smelled Chen Hao's scent.

Its legs that were clinging to the wall relaxed, and then it flew out of the tunnel.

Outside the tunnel was a sun-drenched scene, but as soon as the Bat Demon King emerged, a demonic mist spread across the sky, turning the weather over Dazhou Mountain gloomy in an instant.

At this point, Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng had already left the Nether Acupoint, preparing to use their discussed method to get rid of the Bat Demon King.
