Chapter 20 Five-Colored Dragon Dog Panhu
The edge of the black fog of Heiyunze.

It wasn't just Xiluo and Li Boyang fighting against those corrupted creatures.

As more and more corrupted creatures emerged from the black fog, the gods and monsters living nearby basically realized the coming danger.

Among all the mountains in this land, mountain gods as stubborn as Xiluo are few and far between after all.

When the mountains and rivers where he lived were eroded by black fog.

The vast majority of mountain gods and river gods made the same decision as the monsters - stay away from the black fog.

However, there is an exception like Xiluo among the mountain gods.

Naturally, there are also some monsters who go against the trend.

Panhu, who has a dog's head and a human body, is such a special existence.

As a spirit that can already sense the presence of the earth's energy, Panhu is only one step away from transforming into a dragon dog and becoming a mountain god.

However, with the appearance of black fog, Panhu, who was unwilling to leave Yunfu Mountain like other mountain gods and monsters, had no choice but to fight alone.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
I saw Panhu wearing a five-colored robe and holding a millstone axe.

Even when facing the siege of multiple corrupted creatures, it still displayed a powerful fighting ability different from that of ordinary monsters.

Every blow of the axe can directly chop off the head of a corrupted creature.

On the other hand, those corrupted creatures, apart from the fact that they are not afraid of death after being corrupted, have physical fitness that is even worse than that of normal beasts.

As one grew stronger while the other weakened, the black fog within a radius of 100 meters seemed to be intimidated by Panhu and was unable to spread towards Yunfu Mountain.

"Ouch!"

Just after Panhu split the head of a corrupted creature again, he suddenly let out a long roar towards the sky.

The howling of wolves and dogs spread in all directions.

Soon after, more howling sounds of wolfhounds were heard from the nearby mountains and villages, responding to Panhu's call.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a tiger's roar suddenly came from the black fog.

The next second, a pitch-black tiger with its body rotten to the point of exposing its bones suddenly jumped out.

Due to its characteristic of almost blending into the black fog.

Panhu, who was calling his own kind, was caught off guard and was hit by the other party's claw.

tear...

In an instant, the sharp claws left deep scars on Panhu's body that were visible to the bone.

Fortunately, Panhu was experienced in combat and he immediately retreated and rolled over to relieve the force on his body.

Otherwise, with this slap, even someone as strong as Panhu would probably have his bones broken and completely lose his ability to fight.

Even so, looking at the tiger whose ferocity had not diminished and whose body was completely black.

Panhu still held the millstone axe tightly in his hand, and was mentally prepared for a fight to the death.

"Ouch!"

Because Panhu knew this pitch-black tiger.

It was originally an individual in this forest that was about to transform into a monster.

But now, due to the spread of the black fog, it has been corrupted into its current ugly appearance.

The gap between monsters and beasts is actually not as big as ordinary people imagine.

At the very least, as the overlord of the forest, this pitch-black tiger is not easily provoked even by those transformed monsters.

call out!
Just as the tiger was about to pounce on Panhu again, a crisp sound of breaking through the air was suddenly heard.

In a flash, the tiger realized the danger and tried to dodge sideways.

But he was still a little too slow, and a golden light pierced his neck, separating his head from his body.

"Roar……"

Even as its head rolled to the ground, the tiger was still trying to roar.

He was completely unaware that his body and head had already been separated.

Seeing this, Panhu, who witnessed all this, did not let down his guard.

Instead, he looked up at the sky even more nervously, staring at the golden light still circling in the sky.

"..."

It was not until Panhu noticed that a red figure seemed to appear in the direction where the golden light was fading away.

Only then did he feel relieved and put down the millstone and axe in his hands.

Faintly, Panhu seemed to hear what the red figure was saying.

"Are you asking that bastard?"

"He's the adopted son of Old Lady Gao from the neighboring Gao Village. He's considered an outlier among the spirits..."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

[Adopted son? Spirit?]

[These two words, which sound completely unrelated, unexpectedly appear to be the same person.]

To be honest, although Li Boyang repeatedly overestimated the outrageousness of this world, he still did not expect that a monster would actually be the adopted son of a human.

Just from Panhu's undying fight, it was not difficult for Li Boyang to imagine the deep affection between him and his adoptive mother.

"What's so strange about this?"

"If you really want to say something strange, didn't your parents raise a freak like you?"

Glancing at the golden sword ball that had no self-awareness, Xiluo's complaints were as sharp as ever.

"Aside from the way you were born, there's not much difference between you and that bastard."

As they shuttled back and forth between the mountains and forests, Li Boyang finally understood the origin of Panhu from Xiluo's subsequent narration.

About twenty years ago, Mrs. Gao from Gaojia Village developed an ear disease and a cyst formed on her ear.

Due to the lack of the most basic medical conditions and common sense, Mrs. Gao did not take her ear disease seriously at first.

Until the ear disease became more serious and swollen enough to affect her daily life.

Old Lady Gao pried open the vesicle and took out a hard-shelled insect from it, which was as big as a silk cocoon.

Maybe out of curiosity, or just a simple carelessness...

Old Mrs. Gao simply put the hard-shelled insect in the gourd at home and ignored it no more.

Until the following spring, the beetle hatched into a puppy with fur of five colors.

At first, Mrs. Gao just raised the puppy as an ordinary guard dog.

However, as time passed, Mrs. Gao gradually discovered that this puppy was extremely smart and could even understand what she said.

Naturally, the lonely old lady Gao raised the puppy as her own son.

For the childless old lady Gao.

The appearance of the puppy undoubtedly filled the gap in his later years.

Thus, twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.

The puppy grew up day by day and began to walk on two feet like old lady Gao.

Because the puppy was born in a gourd, old lady Gao simply called it "Panhu".

To this day, Panhu has long become a member of Gaojia Village and has been accompanying old lady Gao all year round.

To be honest, if Mrs. Gao wasn't so old, she really wouldn't be able to bear the pain of leaving her hometown.

Panhu probably wouldn't appear frequently at the edge of the black fog, repeatedly stopping those corrupted creatures from invading Gaojia Village.
