"Hmm?"

At this moment, Hidechika couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, emitting a sound of confusion.

"I'll act together with you, don't worry, I can hold on..." Retracting his gaze from the girl's horns, Gu Mo nonchalantly waved his hand repeatedly. He was no longer the naive Ah Meng of the past; he could definitely endure for a while, all thanks to his hard work!

But such a claim without evidence was not very convincing... Hidechika frowned gracefully, seemingly not so easily persuaded.

Gu Mo thought briefly, then pretended to reach into the pouch tied at his waist and took out a cyan bamboo tube. Pulling off the stopper, a unique refreshing aroma of Spiritual Water greeted him, with a unique clear and pervasive sense, it seemed just a sniff would make one feel energized and refreshed.

Facing the girl's puzzled gaze, he directly drank a mouthful. The taste was like the sweet freshness of mountain spring water, smoothly going down his throat, as if the liquid directly transformed into a clear air falling into his stomach.

The cool and refreshing sensation gradually spread bit by bit, permeating to his limbs and entire body, making his body feel noticeably lighter.

Even though he couldn't see his Attribute Panel at the moment, it was certain that he had gained a buff for increased stamina recovery speed! Although it couldn't completely counteract the suppression of the Mortal World, it could allow him to hold on longer.

"You see! No problem at all! Would you like some too?" Giving a thumbs up to the girl, Gu Mo flashed a smile. Although he didn't have demon bloodline, he could compensate through certain means; once he learned the Barrier Talisman, there should be no more issues.

Hidechika carefully observed the person, clearly feeling his aura start to fluctuate, which made her instinctively nod slightly.

It seemed indeed he could hold on for a while, and in the short term, there shouldn't be any problem… She's not unfamiliar with Divine Water, she just didn't expect this person to be so well-prepared.

"Ah? Oh oh oh, here you go here you go..."

Gu Mo was initially taken aback, then quickly reacted, looking at her in surprise while handing over the cyan bamboo tube. He was merely habitually inviting, not expecting the girl would accept, but she actually really wanted to try?

Then it was Hidechika's turn to be stunned, but she quickly reacted as well, shaking her head repeatedly. Her instinctive nod'd been misinterpreted; she didn't mean that.

After expressing her refusal, she decisively turned and walked forward, following the direction of the demon qi she sensed.

What does this nod then shake mean?

Gu Mo tilted his head in puzzlement, but seeing the girl's slender figure already moving forward, he could only hurry to catch up, while putting the bamboo tube back into an inventory he knew about only himself.

Unlike in games where using one instantly decreases the item count, in this aspect, the use of items is very realistic; he drank just one sip and it took effect, yet there was still quite a lot of Divine Water left in the bamboo tube, seemingly reusable later… So, technically, one tube of Divine Water can be used multiple times?

Hmm, he'll keep his opinions reserved, intending to observe further.

There might be other mechanisms, such as the amount determining effect strength and duration, using it separately may not fully utilize the item's "one portion" unit effect;

Or perhaps, after sipping once, the system recognizes the item as used, granting the full effect while the remainder is ineffective and can't be reused…

Hidechika walked ahead towards the source of demon qi; through such perception, she could easily lock onto enemies outside visible range, their aura like torches in the night was evident. But this Mortal World still had many ordinary Demon Ghosts, especially in the narrow indoor scene, some Demon Ghosts were crowded in one room.

Simply put, small red dots on the map might overlap, she couldn't always precisely grasp all Demon Ghost movements.

The ground was a mess, with damaged delicate paper doors and screens, exquisite vase decorations shattered and scattered around chaotically.

Walking in this black and white-toned mystical space covered by Mortal World, watching various outlines of objects under mystical dim light, Gu Mo felt a subtle sense of discord as if he'd crossed into a world of ink painting.

Beside him in the air, a spirit shaped like a fox with nine tails was silently accompanying him, in an unseen realm, walking shoulder to shoulder with him.

No demons or monsters suddenly jumped out, they kept walking until they reached a corner ahead.

In the next moment, the Nine-tailed fox suddenly stopped, its sharp gaze turning to the left, seemingly peering through thick building walls to see something.

Receiving this warning, Gu Mo also halted immediately, reaching to stop the black-haired girl in front. Hidechika initially looked back with confusion, then understood, gently broke free and gave him a reassuring look, then quickly continued walking forward.
