Chapter 77 Guide Dog

Greyhound remained motionless upon hearing this and said, "We're the only ones patrolling this area. You're not roasting any delicacies, so how can they smell their way here? Even if a demon or ghost were approaching, with our hearing and sense of smell, how could we not detect it?"

"That's right." The yellow dog agreed deeply.

The reason they were assigned to patrol the mountains was precisely because of their sharp six senses.

Unfortunately, this kind of work is hard and gets no reward.

They are not allowed to sit at any banquet held at Jiguana Mountain, after all, their level of cultivation is not high enough.

The two dogs stared at the wild duck eggs in the fire, and couldn't help drooling from the corners of their mouths.

Suddenly, the greyhound seemed to hear some noise and couldn't help but look sideways at the grass beside him.

It twitched its nose, sniffed hard, and whispered, "I seem to smell a human scent..."

The yellow dog looked up upon hearing this, looked around, and muttered, "Where would such a place come from? Why don't I have any..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zheng and An Jing suddenly rushed out from one side.

An Jing raised his hand and swung the whip, and the long whip instantly tightened around the yellow dog's neck.

Lu Zheng quickly approached the greyhound and pinned it to the ground in the blink of an eye. He pinched the greyhound's mouth with one hand to prevent it from roaring loudly.

The two dogs were suddenly attacked by someone, and they were so frightened that their limbs were trembling and they were out of their minds.

Lu Zheng stuck his sword into the ground in front of Greyhound and said in a low, cold voice, "Whoever makes a sound will die. Understand?"

"Woooo..."

The two dogs whimpered in understanding.

They dared not shout loudly, nor could they shout.

Lu Zheng reduced his strength slightly.

The greyhound trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Young man, we are just ordinary wild dogs. Please don't kill innocent people..."

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "An ordinary wild dog, can it speak human language?"

"Ah, this..." The greyhound rolled his eyes and stammered, "I think I can. Look, I can speak human language."

Lu Zheng looked at the greyhound, then at the yellow dog next to it that was almost suffocating from the whip.

He discovered that both dogs had a bloody evil aura, and their pupils were faintly glowing red.

"You have eaten humans before, right?" Lu Zheng asked.

"No, no, no, in this desolate wilderness, where are we going to eat people?" Greyhound said hurriedly, "We are just ordinary wild dogs. We are afraid of people. How could we eat people?"

"Is it?"

Lu Zheng held the greyhound's mouth and stabbed the sword directly into its abdomen with one hand.

"Woooo..."

The greyhound's eyes widened, its whole body twitched and trembled, and smelly blood flowed out.

Lu Zheng restrained the greyhound with all his might and said indifferently, "You're full of lies. What's the point of keeping you here?"

[You killed a first-level vicious dog, Wen Qi +3!]

The yellow dog next to him saw this scene and was so frightened that he became weak all over and collapsed there, trembling.

Lu Zheng looked at the yellow dog and said, "I'll give you a chance, do you want it?"

The yellow dog was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly, wishing he could kneel down and kowtow to the two of them.

An Jing loosened his grip on the whip slightly, giving the yellow dog a chance to catch its breath.

"Have you ever eaten humans?" Lu Zheng asked.

The yellow dog trembled with fear and could only answer honestly: "I have eaten. I have eaten. The king occasionally sends monsters to capture people and then distributes them to the monsters below to eat. In this way, everyone eats people and can only become evil monsters... I have no choice but to do this. Young man, young woman, please spare my life!"

Lu Zheng continued, "I heard there are quite a few demons patrolling Jiguan Mountain. Would you be willing to take us there?"

Upon hearing this, the yellow dog said eagerly, "I am willing, little one! I know this area very well. I know where those demons are. I will take you to find them!"

The yellow dog was feeling anxious. He usually didn't see anyone when he patrolled around, but today he was a little lazy and met two people.

Judging from the current situation, he is still a cultivator who comes here to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits.

I'm afraid I can't escape what happened today. Lu Zheng saw that the yellow dog said he was willing, but his whole body was trembling, and his limbs were shaking. I'm afraid he couldn't even walk steadily.

He was not in a hurry and took out the six duck eggs from the fire, gave two to each person and two to the yellow dog.

"Eat something to calm your nerves."

Lu Zheng said to the yellow dog that he was not really going to be kind enough to let the other party go, but he was just temporarily useful.

"Many, thank you."

The yellow dog thanked him quickly, but was still very frightened.

Lu Zheng squatted there and peeled wild duck eggs.

The roasted wild duck eggs have a special aroma when eaten and have no fishy smell.

An Jing also ate two wild duck eggs to fill his stomach.

Seeing this, the yellow dog swallowed the duck egg with the shell.

After eating to divert his attention and taking some time to calm down, the yellow dog was no longer as frightened as before.

Lu Zheng stood up and said, "Let's go, take us to find the demon."

The yellow dog was tied by An Jing's long whip and could not escape at all, nor did it dare to roar loudly to inform other monsters and ghosts.

I guess he didn't even have time to yell before An Jing strangled him to death with a long whip.

It had no power to resist and could only bite the bullet and walk in front to lead the way.

The yellow dog walked along the path, leading the way.

Lu Zheng and An Jing followed slowly behind.

Lu Zheng held a sword in one hand and a simple map of Jiguana Mountain in the other, checking the markings to determine his location.

After a while, the yellow dog stopped.

It turned its head and whispered, "There's a locust tree in front of us. There's a ghost inside. It usually hides in the tree and observes the surrounding movements."

Lu Zheng took a look through the cover of grass and trees, and saw that there was indeed a locust tree not far away, located on a small slope with a good view.

If they move a little further forward, they might be exposed.

Lu Zheng observed carefully and could vaguely see a faint wisp of yin energy lingering around the locust tree.

"I'll go."

Lu Zheng said in a low voice, then crouched down and walked lightly to the locust tree.

When he got closer, Lu Zheng suddenly quickened his pace and rushed towards the locust tree with big strides.

He raised one hand slightly, and a strong sense of righteousness condensed in his palm.

When he got close to the locust tree, Lu Zheng slapped out with one palm, releasing the righteous energy and pouring it into the locust tree.

The evil ghost hidden in the tree had no time to react and was instantly overwhelmed by the righteous energy.

"laugh……"

Wisps of green smoke emerged from the trunk of the locust tree.

[You killed a first-level ghost, Wen Qi +2!]

After a successful attack, Lu Zheng quickly dodged down the slope and returned to his original place.

"That's all, let's keep going." Lu Zheng said lightly.

The yellow dog was surprised and couldn't figure out what method Lu Zheng used.

With just a palm of his hand, he can make a tree smoke and kill the ghosts inside. The methods of this human cultivator are truly mysterious.

It felt a little regretful why it followed Bai Jin. Although Jiguana Mountain was remote, someone still came to it after all.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and the yellow dog can only continue to take the two of them to find the demon.

I hope that because of my performance, the two men will show mercy.
